A dark an stormy nightttttttt...

    Me and my friends went out to Lee Chapel to go "ghost hunting." Rediculous huh? Lee Chapel, as everyone knows, people say it is haunted. Way out in the middle of NO WHERE, with a creepy cemetary, and a abandon church, with all of its belongings inside. Me, Storm, and Sarah got this magnificent idea to take a trip. So we set a time to meet up and drive out to this so called "haunted place." We arrive, it is pitch black, we go up to the church and we already hear noises. I do not believe in ghosts so therefore I thought it was just a coinsidence. There is a piano right in the center of the room, I start playing it, the next thing you know you here a HUGE BANG noise coming from upstairs. To get to the upstairs of the church you have to walk outside and go up stairs connected to the building, so we all get the nerve to go up there. Storm, the crazy boy he is brings a Ugui board. My momma told me to never play with one, so I was freaked out. We played around with it, and it moved. We all promised not to lie to each other about this whole board thing. Storm started freaking out saying it moved an such but who knows, it could have been fake?  Well, we all had a very interesting dark an stormy night, with my two best friends.

A Pioneer NEVER Quits....

    The motto that everyone goes by, it has always been in this...that is Pioneer Pride. When I think of this I automatically think of Coach Stu Smith, end of story. This man defines Pioneer Pride. Stu Smith has been in this school for the longest time, and when he says this you truly know what he is talking about. We never give up or quit, many people or teams can do this but as a Pioneer you know everyone will back you up and have your back for support. If you need help and your feeling down in your sport, someone will say "A Pioneer Never Quits." It is always helpful in many ways, knowing this. This quote has been going on forever, and I pray it will never change, and stay the same. This quote, saying, whatever you want it to be called has gone through so much with this school. If it ever changes, it will not ever be the same, it is to well known.       As a Pioneer, I know for a fact in Pioneer Nation, Pioneers will never quit.

Why I chose my Mammy as an Audience...

My Mammy is the greatest woman I know, and I think she should know it, even though I tell her all the time. Sweetest and most loving person I know? Yeah, I'm proud to call her my grandmother. When something or somebody is in a bind, without a doubt  she will be there. Sunday lunches that she cooks for everyone, including members from our church, picking up people and doing the best she can do. These are just a few of the many reasons she inspires me. When I get older I hope and pray to be just like my Mammy. I wanted to do my grandma a favor and choose her, because she is the person I look up to most.     
           Being around my Mammy makes me feel so special, she is an all around grandma that I look forward to be.

A Journey or a Place...

A trip to the tree houses with my sweet and precious Mammy!
Me and my Mammy took a roadtrip a while back to these beautiful tree houses in cord charlotte. Mammy will do just about anything in the world with me, and as soon as I asked her to go to the tree houses she said "yes, ma'am we can go!" Mammy is a very outgoing, loving person with a huge heart. We all love spending time with our grandma. As soon as we got there, we noticed how many tree houses there actually were. All together there was about a total of 8 tree houses, all up in the treetops. The man that built these were very creative. There was slides coming down the houses, ropes, ladders, all sorts of things! On our way home we went, what we now call it ''backroading." Mammy showed me what all she grew up around, through all the houses of her friends, all the land they played on, and all the memories she remembered. I thought it was very cool knowing all the history and family stuff. All the stuff she said came to me knowing that i have such a cool family with lots of history. As all of this above shows, we really went on an adventure and a journey all at the same time!

9.11

The new design on the World Trade Center is pretty dramatic, lots of things are being changed, new things are being added, and even more is being a safer place. There are 104 floors and 71 elevators in the new and improved design for the World Trade Center.


Five are high speed express cars moving at 2,000 feet per minutes, or at the most 23 miles per hour. It also takes 45 seconds to reach the top of the World Trade Center. In an eleveator 23 miles per hour is pretty dang fast. With 104 floors and at a rate of 45 seconds to get there it must be fast and obviously a stomach turner.

If I had to guess or make a prediction on why they are building these fast and many elevators, it would be, because in case another freak accident happens again, they would want to get down as quick as possible. When I think of 9.11 I automatically think of the dust, people screaming, and people trying to figure out how to get down and out of the building. With these new elevators this will help the percentage of people get down in case of a accident. As you can see, this new structure is going to pervent more people from being hurt, and having the risk of being trapped in case something happens.
