Poverty in the Chicago area

The issue is that many people in the Chicago land area live in the poverty . Especially in the south side Chicago there's many people families that live in poverty .

A study from September 18 , 2014 says that more than 1.3 million people in the Chicago metro area live in poverty also for one child in Chicago the poverty rate is higher . One in five children in hcisgo lives in poverty . Also other people feel bad for the kid do that live in poverty because they don't got nice shoes , nice cloths to wear . They can't afford these things because there parents don't make a lot of money to expensive things . Chicago is one city that has been hit with hard poverty .

Favorite Quote

That quote that I picked was " After all this time I still miss you everyday " . This connects to me because I keep thinking about my cousin Daniel . I think about him because his own cousins snitched on him for robbing a store in the south side of chicago . Also it's been 5 or 6years since I haven't seen him and till this day I don't know when he is going to to get out and I feel like that I'm not ever going to see him again . Also when I was a little kid he will always teach me how to fight .

Best Day Ever

The best day ever was when I met this girl in fifth grade her name was (Isabella Rodriguez) and she was the most gorgeous beautiful girl I ever saw in fift grade . When, I first saw her I new that she was going to be so important in my life . At then of fift grade it was going to be summer break and a couple days go by and she has a cook out and then I went to her house with other friends having fun and playing basketball and then night started fall,and everybody started to leave and the. I left and she calls me and says that she likes me and I got so happy because I fell in love with her since the day we met .She is the best thing that ever happened in my entire life and I wouldn't trade her for anything not even money or an expensive car.  Now she is still the LOML because on November, 2 ,2016 she decorated my locker for my birthday and she added pictures of me and her and I wanted to tear up but I didn't because she was there and I gived her a hug and saying thank you to her for doing that for me.

News Article " Graffiti "

The, first day I came to do an interview at heritage middle school I heard that there was graffiti . I overhead students talking about graffiti in the 8th grad boys bathroom . Then I overheard a students telling the pricpalps thatbhtere was graffiti upstairs in 8th grade boys bathroom . When I came inside the bathroom I saw graffiti on the side where the vacuum to clean of your wet hands .

Also , I want to know why these students who ever done the graffiti in the 8th grade boys bathroom . When , I was going upstairs to go inside the bathroom the graffiti was written with a red pen on the wall . The graffiti that was on the wall written with a red pen was a name of a south side Chicago gang . I believe that student who wrote the graffiti might have been involved with a gang . Finally, I would  believe that these students or student who wrote the graffiti wild make the other students lose the pervillage of going to the bathroom.

My Best Trip Ever

   The best trip ever that I took was when I went to Miami Florida with my older brother . We stayed at a expensive hotel in Miami where we could get room service and be close by the beach so we won't have walk a long way to the beach . But before we could to Miami Florida we have to take to air planes one to Virginia and the other one to Miami Florida but we couldn't get on the second flight because the plane had just left when we landed in Virginia . So then we had to wait for a couple hours until another flight could come and then me and my brother landed at the airport around 3 am in Miami Florida , my brother went to the hotel and I stayed at the airport so I could sleep because I was tired . Then in the morning my brother came with a rental car so he could pick me up with all my my cloths . When we got to the hotel we put are cloths away and then went to go shopping to expensive stores to see what they have that we could by and then we both got Versace and a Gucci shirt so when we go out at night to go eat or walk around the city . And then next three days we were going to the beach and we were doing GTL ( gym tanning Laundry ) then the last two days that we were staying we were doing bad things around the block . Also the last day when we left my older brother got into a fight at the airport because someone took his LouiVuitton bag .
