The Rolling Stones Tour

The Rolling Stones Tour, 2013

Yesterday morning, I was listening to the Stones when my dad walked in my room.. He told me that the Rolling Stones were on tour! I was really excited and I asked him if he could take me, BUT he crushed my dreams in an instant when he told me the ticket's price. I searched online to see if I can get any cheap seats but the cheapest ticket was around $500. The price doesn't even surprise me. Why? That's because they're AMAZING, they're just a classic. Who'd want to miss out on a concert like that? The Rolling Stones are simply legendary. They created music, they inspired some of the music made today! It's just outstanding! These people have been around for so many years and still have the strength to go on tour. It would be such an honor to watch them live. It's a once in a life time kind of thing.. One day, I want to be able to watch them, even if it's their last show. I can't believe I'm missing out on this. Those people who paid over $5,000 for their front row tickets are insanely lucky. On May 2nd, 2013.. I will be one depressed child at home knowing that that exact second, the Rolling Stones are at the Staple Center, singing and entertaining their little hearts out. 

Student Summary

Tony Farmer's Crimes and Consequences

Summary: Tony Farmer was a senior student in high school.He was one of the top 50 best basketball player in high school. Although he was becoming successful, Tony made a huge mistake. He had been charged for robbery, assault, and more! Farmer was sentenced to three years in prison. Tony still couldn't believe he was punished for his crimes. All of his success went down the drain in just a matter of time. 

Reflection: I think Tony has no bigger regret than this. Now that his life has completely turned upside down, he's probably realizing the huge mistakes that he has done. There's no way he can live the same life like before. Even if he changes after getting out of prison, he won't be able to make it as big in life as he thought. If he tried to make the best of what he had, he probably wouldn't go so far with a messed up record/story past him. He could've been in college, and maybe even be able to make it in the NBA but those choices that he made are something he can never take back and that will affect him for the rest of his life. Tony Farmer chose the wrong.

Grandparents (Summary)

Grandparents' Arrest 
Summary/ reflection: Now arrested, the grandparents of a really young girl locked their granddaughter in their bathroom. She  was in that bathroom for SIX YEARS! The only time the girl would be allowed to get out was on special occasions and to go to school. She would sleep on cot, with just a blanket and a pillow. This young girl, who is now 9 years old, had very horrible grandparents. The older man and woman turned themselves in. I believe this is a really cruel thing to do. They have ruined her childhood and when the little girl is older, maybe she'll grow up with problems due to this horrible trauma. Her life isn't over, but it does make a huge difference. So many opportunities she could've had, have gone down the drain.

Deb And Jenna

Deb And Jenna's "Sportsmanship" 

Racing around 4 miles at a track meet gets very competitive. Jenna Huff was always behind Deb Guthhman as they both tried reaching the same goal, the finish line. A few yards from the finish line, Deb's hip bone decided to pop out; Jenna right behind her saw that she had stopped running and decided to do the right thing by helping her out. Jenna stopped, and encouraged Deb to reach the finish line, pushing her a step ahead. I believe Jenna did the nicest and most thoughtful thing anyone can do. She deserves the award she received. It's a heartwarming feeling knowing that there are people who still care about others EVEN if they're strangers. Jenna chose the right by helping Deb, and I'm sure Deb surely appreciates what she did for her.
