Segregation is one of the most horrifying things in this world. You wouldn’t believe how much of it we have in this world! What gets me really mad is segregation among our teens. What taught me about how to drop segregation is Little Rock Nine.
There has been segregation since this time until now.
Central High school is where the Little Rock Nine has gone to go school. Central High school was an all white school. There the nine black students were criticized and not wanted at the school. Nowadays people don’t really care if they are white or black, but if it comes to racism or if students have conflict between each other.
The Little Rock Nine have been taunted by mobs for many days. Believe it or not there are many “gangsters” that taunt “nerds” and “geeks” today also.
Harassing has been a major conflict between different ethnic groups. Being harassed isn’t any fun if it’s towards you. The nine students were harassed probably everyday. Nowadays, more than 15 percent of girls are being harassed and at least 14 percent are boys.
Separating groups by gender, race, or even age. In the years of the nine students they were to sit in the back of the room while the white people sat at the front. Today, there are people who choose to where they want to sit so it’s not really a problem for it nowadays.
We, as villagers, have to prevent it for we are role models for the little kids, as they grow older. Little Rock Nine taught me so much about being a racist.

There are three different kinds of boarding that I know of. Skateboarding, snowboarding, and snowskating. All three of them are my hobbies. These are some things I’m thankful for.
Skateboarding is fun and different. You can have sessions in public places, and its something else to do. You can do a lot of cool things. Some tricks are Kickflip (full rotation to the left), 360 Flip (Kickflip and a 360 Pop Shove-it), McTwist (Backside 540 combined with a Mute), and Christ Air (board in one hand body in a cross position). Professional skaters can make between $50K and $1 million. There are two types of terrain: street (terrain on the streets of cities with boxes, ramps, and rails) and vert (half pipes, pools, full pipes, and quarter pipes).

The feeling of landing a snowboarding trick feels great, especially if it’s a trick you didn’t land before. The feeling is great because I suck at snowboarding, I can go down a hill without crashing, but I can do any tricks besides a 180, nose press (nose manuel), and manuel. So, it feels great when I grind, or ride off a kicker. Some tricks are: Indy (grabbing the middle of the board), 1080 (three spins), and Nosegrab (grabbing the front of the board). Some snowboarding teams are Burton, Sims, Nitro, and Forum. There are three styles: Freestyle (riding down any terrain available), Freeride (snowboarder rides down any man-made terrain such as rails, boxes and kickers), and Freecarve/Race (hard-packed runs with dangerous carving turns).

The dangers on a snowskate are getting caught in an avalanche, getting too much air/speed, falling off a rail, and slipping down stairs. I am thankful for snowskating because I can do a lot of more tricks, a lot of more fearful things. Until you do the fearful skating (going off cliffs and landing off banks, going down hills, snowskating down stair set hand rails) its not scary, its fun. You can break a bone, dislocate joints, or deform body parts. Snowskates comes in a single deck and double deck (bideck, bilevel). Some snowskates are made out of glass-filled nylon, plastic, and wood. With a snowskate you can go skate on the street, ski resorts, and skate parks.

I am thankful for boarding because it’s something else to do, its different (few people do it). Also, it feels good to land something you didn’t land before. Boarding also goes with the type of music (ex. Metal and Hardcore Punk.) I listen to. That is all I know/found out about boarding.

I am thankful for my family because they care about me. The way they showed that they care about for me was by going to all my basketball games. Also they showed it by giving me things that I asked for. Sometimes when I asked for things they would get it for me even though it would cost a lot of money.

My family does a lot of things for me when I ask them to do it. Also I would do the same thing for them. The things that they would do for me is, going to all of my games. Also they would get me a lot of Gatorade for practice and games.

My family is always there for me, and when I need them. The time when I need them is when I am hurt or when I get sick. They are always there for me no matter what. Its like when I need someone to talk to they are right there waiting. They are the only ones there when I need them through hard times.

I picked my family because they are all of those things. I love them so much for being all of things to me and they love me for doing to it to them. My family and I are really close, just like I am with my friends. Sometimes my family and I get along all the time, and sometimes when we don’t. Most of the time we would because we would always be happy. The time when we wouldn’t get along is when someone is drinking or someone is just having a bad day.

Have you ever seen someone called something mean? Has it ever happened to you? Well if you are doing that to someone else then you can stop so they won’t do the same thing back to you. Well the segregation here in Unalakleet School’s is not good because students don’t treat others the same, low-self esteem and is impacting our schoolwork.

Being treated differently is wrong. One example is social pressured. Being social pressured is a stupid thing to do. People tease each other. If the white people don’t treat the Eskimo’s people right then they are going to end up fighting and arguing. Every other day the Eskimo’s feels like the white people shouldn’t be here.

When new teachers come here to Unalakleet most of the kid’s tease them. Once the teacher hears it they get mad. If they had a very bad person and they talk mean about them. But at the same time they make them feel sad and want to cry. But if it is other people here in town then they might feel like they don’t want to talk to anyone if they go to the store or any games going on, and they will feel like they want to be quite in this town. When they also only make friends.

What I think of the school progress is when the white people don’t want to ask questions to other people when they don’t know where something are. They also don’t even want to go to work or want to do any work. Not being able to do what they are supposed to be doing and not being supportive with anything.

The racist of other in this school is stupid because they consult others self-regard and feels bad. What I am saying is that the racist should stop because it hurts the people’s feelings and doesn’t want to be living in this town anymore.

I am thankful for lots of things, like going to town hanging out with my friends and waking up in the morning to go to school. However, I am most thankful for my family because they are there for me and sometimes we get along. The way they show that they care is when they give me a presents even though it costs a little bit of money.

They do lots of things for me when I ask them to do it. I would do the same thing for them. They go to all of my games.
I am so proud of my family. I’m proud of them because they’re nice to me. I am thankful for my brother Danny because he likes to help my dad on trucks. Also, I am thankful for my dad because he brings me to school everyday, even through lots of blizzards, and floods. He also supports me with food, shelter, and water.

My family is always there for me, and when I need them. The time when I need them is when I get hurt or when I get sick. They are always there for me no matter what happens to me, especially when I need someone to talk to. They are the only ones there when I need them through hard times.

I love them so much for being all of these things to me, and they love me for being there for them. My family and I are really close, just like I am with my friends. Sometimes my family and I get along, and sometimes we don’t. Sometimes we play games because it always makes us happy. When we don’t get along is when my dad is drinking or one of my brothers or my sisters is having a bad day or evening.

Meeeweewee! I’m up on the little tiny strings and my fingers feel like their on fire. Medily medily medily medily meeeweeowee! Music. When I first started playing guitar, I knew it was something that I wanted to do. I had this feeling in me that pulled me towards being a musician. I am thankful for music because it is really fun, it keeps me occupied, it is a possible life option, and it clears my mind.

I grew up around music and the life of music. I am thankful for it because it is like the most fun thing in the world. When I’m bored I just play my guitar or my drum set. I don’t think there is anything better than jammin’ or working on songs that you dream of being famous someday.

Another reason I am thankful for music is because it is also something I can do for my life. I think playing music is something that I would have fun doing for the rest of my life, and it’s not a bad choice.

My last reason for being thankful for music is that it clears my mind. If I ever have a lot on my mind I play a couple songs or work on lyrics for one that I have done already. Music makes my life more enjoyable.
