Vocab Story
One night, as i was producing music beats in my studio down town New York. It was late at night and everyone was still working. I have already apologized for pushing the deadline for the artist's release on his new album. The light in the studio illuminated the artist while he was singing.The exhausted singer still gave me a smile and replied me with a lilt. The amount of stress and sleepiness is making the singer barely audible. This was very tough for me, I had to get him to sing louder when he already doesn’t want to be here. This artist has very little credibility with the world to creating some good music. My job is to change his image and change his style in music. Unfortunately, so far, the artist has failed to maneuver his singing correctly.

Thank You, M'am
My mom was pressuring me, she desperately wanted a new shelf. I promised my mom I would build a new shelf for her only if I get to capture some insects and keep it in our house. I was walking along the side walk looking for some materials and I saw a very large log covered in mosses. The log seemed rather frail, so I decided to not use the log. I kept looking for it until I came up to these bamboo trees next to the lake. The tree barks were in great condition and seemed presentable as my material for the shelf. I decided to carry all the bamboos back, there were rather many of them. I started building the shelf with my dad in the garage. It did not take long, it was fun and it made my dad and I bond. When I finished the deed, my mom promised me I could capture some insects and keep it in the house. As I was capturing it, I saw the many trapped butterflies and bugs in the bag I’ve brought and decided to release all of them. No one should be trapped and forced to go somewhere else. I can somehow understand the pain. I went back home later with my hands empty. Few years later, the bamboo shelf my dad and I built were not frequently used. The barren bamboo shelf was put away somewhere in the attic, never seen again. I would never ever build something for my mom again.

Hopes&Dreams Helen on 86th Street quickwrite
People all have dreams, some come true and some dont. I think when someone has a dream or hope and it doesn't come true, they would be highly dissapointed. A dream is a hope, a hope to be what your not. A dream is something you want, something unreachable for normal people. When people fail to pursue their dream, they would not care too much. I think for a dream, is something normaly unachieveable. For girls it could be jewelry, or a Brad Pitt for a husband, and for guys it could be an extremely pricey exotic sports car, or to be superman. Dreams are normaly almost impossible to achieve, but i think wishes can come true. To me, there is a difference between wishes and dreams. Dreams are something people dont normaly have or do, and wishes are little things that may have oppurtunity in happening. Wishes are things like, having your relationship work, or to have a raise in salary at work. When people's wishes dont come true, depending on how big the wish is to them, but they will still be highly dissapointed. For me, wishes have came true, i feel lucky to be in an american school and have sources other people dont have. When wishes come true, people get very excited and joyful. In my case, i feel lucky to be in a wealthy family and to have a great life.

What if....I will die by 20
Human beings are normally cruel, mean to others and wont consider their feelings until they are in a life and death situation. If i will die by the time Im 20, i will live every single second of my life to the fullest. By that i mean i will do anything i want, whenever i want. I will not obey the laws, i will not listen to what my parents or the police tells me. I will do whatever i want. I wont change my lifestyle just for this. I will die either way, why not die with style and have my dreams completed? I will travel the world for the first two years of my life. All the great scenes around the globe, all the fancy beach resorts and all the big cities around the world. I will seek for the best living environment for me to die in. The next few years, i will spend it by living in the place i love the most, doing whatever i want. I will rob stores, i will steal cars, i will drink all day long until i pass out. Every single day for the last few years. I think changing lifestyles wont really help in anyway by this point. Changing your diet, your way of living will just remind yourself that you will die in this period of time. To me, there is completely no point of doing that. If i am assure to die in a few years, this is exactly what i will do. People's lives are short, everyone should treat their lives well and live to the fullest everyday.

Initiation Summary
The main character is a new girl to the highschool. She is new to be a freshmen at her highschool. There are older kids that are trying to make the new girls to initiate by making them do all types of things like making their beds. Bev, one of the older kids, made the main character not talk to any guys while they are being initiated. They are giving them tasks so that they can be initiated into the sorority. In order to be in the sorority, they have to listen to the older girls already in the sorority. The main character got a task which was to ask about everyone's breakfast on the bus they were in. She then came across this man that looked like a leprechaun. She was very fascinated by the guy. At last she thought everything through and that she doesn't need to be in the sorority and do all the stuff other people tells her to do. She ended up not being initiated.
Willy Wonka
The most memorable character for me must be Willy Wonka from the chocolate factory. The way the character has a factory all to him self, with mountains and mountains of different types of candies. He is an old man living in a child's dream. He has a grass room filled with mountains and mushrooms and fruits and trees. Everything in that room is edible, including his one and only, chocolate river. He really is full of surprises, he is the only person with the closest dream i had since i was little. He also has little people working for him on his new inventions of candies or other type of sweet goods. Being able to be someone like Willy Wonka is my dream, he truely is what every kid wants to become.
