Manali Gantaram Ms. Asuncion English 9H 8 December 2015 The Last Friday in October Finally, it’s Friday, I think to myself as I step on to my bus to go home. It definitely felt like one of the longer weeks because of all the back-to- back tests and quizzes I had. And it’s only the second month of high school. “Rachel, over here!” my best friend Holly yells from the back of the bus. I make my way over to her, juggling my violin case, binder, and lacrosse stick through the narrow bus aisle. “Rachel, did you hear about what happened to that one boy?” she asks, not bothering to greet me. “Can you elaborate? That one boy isn’t necessarily specific.” I reply with a sarcastic edge to my voice. “Everyone’s been talking about it! Ok, so you know that one little boy who used to play with...

Eve Thompson Ms. Asuncion 21 October 2015 Adventures in Paris When I was eleven years old, my grandparents took my mom and me on a week-long trip to the city of lights itself, Paris, France.

Jennifer Colucci Mrs. Asuncion Block 6 14 February 2016 Reader Response For my reader's response essay, I chose to write about the book Out of my Mind by Sharon Draper. I read this book in seventh grade and I loved it! The main character Melody Brooks has cerebral palsy, a disease that limits her abilities. She can’t walk, talk, move and do simple tasks, such as feeding herself.She can’t communicate with anyone so nobody understands her. All her life she has been in the same specials needs class at her school, learning the same lessons each year. Melody however has a photographic memory and she is probably the smartest person in her whole school. Nobody thinks Melody knows anything, and assumes she is mentally retarded. One day Melody and her classmates were invited to come join some 4th and 5th grade classes. She gets to participate in Music class, History, and Language Arts.While in music class Melody meets Rose, a girl in most of her inclusion classes. They instantly beco...
