Walk Outs

People have been doing walkouts because of the new law that they made in Arizona. The new law makes it illegal to be here if you are an immigrant. In other words “ No papers, your out of here!” Students of the Phoenix Union High School District have been walking out because of the new law. Some of the students that walk out don’t even know why they are doing it. They are just following the people. They are sheep.

Pets: Adopt an Animal!

Hey people! Have you ever seen a stray animal on the street? Well if you can adopt animal do it! If it’s too hard then see if any of your family can adopt one! These animals need your help. They need food and shelter.
Animals have been abused and tortured. They probably never felt love before. They get hit for no reasons. They get abandoned when there are barely born and they can’t take care of themselves. Their parents leave them because they can’t even take care of themselves. So please adopt one of these animals! Whether it’s a cat or dog or anything it would make a difference to the animals.

Racism

I think that racism is a big problem in Arizona. For instance that new law that they are passing, it says that if police see you and an illegal they WILL arrest you, or if they think you look like an illegal they will ask for your papers. It also sucks because even if you didn’t know that they are illegal they will still arrest you. I feel it goes against most of what Martin Luther King said about racism, but yet these big political people say that they admire him and what he has accomplished but I think that that is all lies. They must be really dumb for doing this law because every body immigrated to America even if it was way back in the day it still counts because it’s the same thing people are doing today. Also most of the population here in Arizona is made up of immigrants and if they take that away from us we’ll be left with nothing. Instead of hating immigrants we should be proud and thankful for them making our country what it is today and making this country the envy of others because these immigrants don’t want to go to their country instead they chose us, us. So instead of taking away that privilege and honor we should find a way to make it better.

Raul H. Castro Leadership Conference

Saturday 4/24 a couple of lucky students were chosen to attend the first annual Leadership Conference at Castro Middle School. We had the honor of meeting Ex Governor Raul Castro and get a picture with him. He spoke about his journey to becoming a governor. He told how hard his journey was and how he chose to keep trying and following his dream. We then split up into classes and the teachers told us ways we could use our leadership in the future and use it to change our community and even our world. After we got to meet a small basketball team “Ball Is Life” they were really nice people, they signed autographs and took pictures with every one. They then showed us a bunch of neat tricks and used audience members for a couple of stunts. We had a lot of fun and can’t wait to do it again!!!

The New Law

The new law is an outrage. This new law is causing a lot of trouble at schools and everywhere else. It is discriminating to Mexicans. This new law is allowing police to be able to just stop any Mexican just because they think they are illegal. The police can take advantage of this law and it is also racial profiling.

The biggest problem facing are community today is:

Students who think they will survive our cruel world without the satisfaction of reading books.

I think students who don’t read are missing out on great adventures of the world. Students don’t know how when you read it's like a movie playing in your head. So when students say I went to Universal studios this Friday a book worm can say he/she when to Dullsville, Washington forks , Neverland, Narnia or maybe even Dracula's castle. So you can go so many places in the comfort of your own home. So when you get home think about picking up a book. There are some books that will make you even scream for more.
