I struggled the most on the writing portion of the test because I was to busy thinking about what Mr.Rease was telling us what not to do when you write your paper. The testing environment was quiet and very cold and I was getting sleepy I was not going to fall asleep because I see myself becoming that Doctor or crime scene investigator. My main focus is to do good on the ACT so I can get accepted into Grambling State University. My main focus/goal is to keep up the good work and get scholarships so I can get accepted because the tution and fees is high. Bcrain kind of help us with the exam only certain teachers helped with the ACT prep. The only thing we learn is about math and when I come to Mr. Rease 4th block class on language and reading. If I can take it again I would because I do not think I did good. I think I scored like a 20-30 on the exam. I think we had enough time and then I think we did not. I did not get to finish the language portion. I practiced all the stuff I could find on the internet.

 My dream is that me and my family would just go back to California during the summer time and just stay for a while. The reason why I want to go back there because I think I would do better at home in California instead of Alabama. Some days it would be good to plan a good vacation to go home and see the rest of the family that stayed in California. The rest of my dream is just to go back and enjoy it before I go off to college. I would like for everyone to become one and meet up at Venice Beach and have a good time. Hopefully one day before I go off to college my dream would come true even thought I can go back home to California at any time.

Every year on Easter I go to the nursery home and sit with the elderly and help them with anything and make sure they are alright. Its not about the hours or anything it is that I love to help people the best way I can. Knowing that some families did not come out to see them I would go see the patients one by one and spend time with them. Ever Easter that comes I will always go and help them if they need my help I would go there every holiday not just Easter. Knowing that it makes them feel good I would continue to go spend time with the patients.

    Dear Governor Edwards,

        Sorry to bother you but let me introduce myself to you my name is Naiyah Law I am a teacher at Maryvale Elementary School I teach kindergarten and I am married with two kids name Rashard and Ra'Layiah. I also work at a daycare on the other days whenever I am free or whenever they need me. I have the extra job at the daycare because my husband Kenneth Law was laid off at work and I could not let my family miss out on any meals so I went out and got another job while my husband was still looking for another one. I am 5'6 brown skin with brown eyes with curly hair from Los Angeles, California.

     I stayed around the corner from Miss Emma she is a very good lady  that I ever met out of everyone I met on the block or it might just be that I am anti-social. When Jefferson and my son Rashard was growing up they always use to go in the front yard and play and he use to look at me and say "I love you Mrs.Law you like a second mom to me." I look back at him and I would tell him that I love him back, I looked at him like a second son I never had and wanted. Jefferson use to stay plenty nights with Ra'Laiyah And Rashard they use to stay up all night till 3 playing games and different things. One night I walked in Rashard's room and seen him trying to teach Jefferson how to read so I just left them alone to reading. The whole time Jefferson was around he was a good little fellow and respectful saying yes ma'am, no ma'am and etc.

    Jefferson And Rashard had these friends name Tre and Bj they were the bad ones to be around. They would always come and say I bet you will not do this and that etc. One day the guys went to the store and they wanted to steal some candy but Jefferson was scared and backed out of it. They thought Jefferson was scared by doing the right thing which was not to steal like how they were trying to steal. But I do not think he guilty but there is always two parts to every story. I honestly think he should not get executed because there is not enough information being giving at the point and its not right to try to kill someone and you do not have enough information to get to the bottom of the situation they are trying to kill a good guy by what they heard but I think they should get the whole true story before they just take it upon there self and try to kill him.
