Weekend Post-Wacky Web Tales

Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

Today was the most ugly day at school! lise didn't speak to me all day. I smartly forgot my homework for math class. My new friend max isn't talking to me anymore. And to top it all off, I forgot my lunch, so I had to borrow money to buy lunch. I hate borrowing money, I hate forgetting my homework, and I hate it when my friends don't talk to me! boo! I hope tomorrow is a better day!

Dear Diary,

Everything was much better today. lise wasn't mad at me; she was just upset because her parents would not let her go to a party. She was beautiful toward everyone. My math teacher said she'd only take one point off my homework because this was the only time I'd ever forgotten anything. She said everyone makes stupid mistakes sometimes. My new friend max is talking to me. He was just busy helping out a sick friend. He had to gather all of his friend's homework. My friend who loaned me the money for lunch yesterday said I didn't have to pay him back, because I had loaned him money for lunch a while ago. I hope every day is a good as today!

My Limerick by Guerlande Ponyon

The coolness of the breeze
And the calmness of the sea
The warmth of the sand
Under our soft gentle hands
Take me to the beach so I can be FREE

A new year has come
And its time to love
Time for changes
And new phase
Not looking back at where we came from

Weekend Post : Census 2010

Participating in the Census Is Like Voting For Yourself

Census are taken every 10 years. This will make it the 10 year.

I remember when the Census form came to my house 10 years ago. I was 14. My mother and father, both immigrants from Samoa and living in our low-income American neighborhood, were focused more on shopping for bottled water, flashlights and survival kits. The Y2K scare was more popular in my house than any survey could ever be. That is what the Census was to them: just another survey to be thrown out.

But now, a decade later and 24, that survey is my way to re-write history for me and my community. What my parents didn’t realize is how the Census defines all the things we cared about but felt we had no control over: how many elected officials we needed, what programs and services we needed funded, the bus routes we used.

My generation, 16-24-year-olds, particularly minorities, is one of the hardest to count populations for the Census. As a result, our issues, concerns and voices remain excluded when people imagine the larger vision of America.

But for me, a Pacific Islander, convicted felon living in a housing project, 2010 will be the first time someone in my family voted, and voted for ourselves at that. Because that’s what the Census is. It's like voting for yourself, being counted in a country that sometimes makes you feel like you don’t matter if you are young, low-income, or have a record.

For youth, immigrants, and felons the Census is our way to participate in a political process that decides our fates in things like elections every four years. Even in the last presidential election, which voted in Barack Obama, many of us applauded from the sidelines. To be disenfranchised is to not be fully American, but the Census includes us as well, and puts us in the game.

Growing up, the government was only the embodiment of “the man,” the one responsible for all the opportunity, equality and security that I felt my family and I were denied. And as a young poor woman of color, nothing is worse then when your disdain for that “man” can coax you to be convicted of a felony, as it did with me. And with that conviction, sometimes you can no longer vote. A lot of my family is in the same boat. And even for the ones who can vote, elections seem distant from our lives, rather then the immediacy of what the Census promises. Want a hospital your Auntie can go to? Want money for schools for your cousins? This is the chance to be heard about all these aspects of our lives.

I am working through New America Media and Silicon Valley De-Bug to change youth of color from the least counted to the loudest advocates for the Census. By doing workshops at schools and community colleges, we are getting youth to write letters home to their parents about why the Census is important.

And this time around, when the Census arrives at my parents home, it will be familiar. For the first time in history, the Census is being translated into Samoan, the language my family. In my household, and similar families across the country, the translations of the forms will give comfort to people who never quite understood how to count in a country when they barely could understand the language. And it will be their children who will translate its importance.

Weekend Post Teen Issue

From getting up in the morning to coming home by curfew at night, today's teen faces many choices and issues. Parents can help their teen traverse this winding path of adolescence by learning about and having resources for these issues. Here parents will find things they need to know - even about things they didn't know they needed to know.Troubled Teen 101 is presented for parents in need of teen help. There are many offers on information on teen issues, problems, and behavior disorders. THEy give recommendations on programs for troubled teens, boarding schools, and other teen boot camp alternatives for teen help. We also provide details on various types of programs for teens including military schools, boot camps, and wilderness programs. Our troubled teen help reps will not recommend these short term options. We believe in promoting home based solutions and then long term options.

Weekend Post Book & Literature

I like reading books that involves teenage drama and romance book. I recently read a book called, "You Love Me" and "I Promise"by Adrianne Byrd. The books were extremely romantic and I was able to connect with the book from past experience. Also I have read books from the Blueford series. These book were amazing and connected with teenage lives. I recommend teenagers to read this series because the books in the series talks about regular teenage drama and how to resolve it. Also, you will learn many new things and topics by read this series. I hope you take my advise and go out and get this series . You can find out more about this series on the Blueford website.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr., (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968) was born Michael Luther King, Jr., but later had his name changed to Martin. His grandfather began the family's long tenure as pastors of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, serving from 1914 to 1931; his father has served from then until the present, and from 1960 until his death Martin Luther acted as co-pastor. Martin Luther attended segregated public schools in Georgia, graduating from high school at the age of fifteen; he received the B. A. degree in 1948 from Morehouse College, a distinguished Negro institution of Atlanta from which both his father and grandfather had graduated. After three years of theological study at Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania where he was elected president of a predominantly white senior class, he was awarded the B.D. in 1951. With a fellowship won at Crozer, he enrolled in graduate studies at Boston University, completing his residence for the doctorate in 1953 and receiving the degree in 1955. In Boston he met and married Coretta Scott, a young woman of uncommon intellectual and artistic attainments. Two sons and two daughters were born into the family.

In 1954, Martin Luther King became pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. Always a strong worker for civil rights for members of his race, King was, by this time, a member of the executive committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the leading organization of its kind in the nation. He was ready, then, early in December, 1955, to accept the leadership of the first great Negro nonviolent demonstration of contemporary times in the United States, the bus boycott described by Gunnar Jahn in his presentation speech in honor of the laureate. The boycott lasted 382 days. On December 21, 1956, after the Supreme Court of the United States had declared unconstitutional the laws requiring segregation on buses, Negroes and whites rode the buses as equals. During these days of boycott, King was arrested, his home was bombed, he was subjected to personal abuse, but at the same time he emerged as a Negro leader of the first rank.

In 1957 he was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization formed to provide new leadership for the now burgeoning civil rights movement. The ideals for this organization he took from Christianity; its operational techniques from Gandhi. In the eleven-year period between 1957 and 1968, King traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty-five hundred times, appearing wherever there was injustice, protest, and action; and meanwhile he wrote five books as well as numerous articles. In these years, he led a massive protest in Birmingham, Alabama, that caught the attention of the entire world, providing what he called a coalition of conscience. and inspiring his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail", a manifesto of the Negro revolution; he planned the drives in Alabama for the registration of Negroes as voters; he directed the peaceful march on Washington, D.C., of 250,000 people to whom he delivered his address, "l Have a Dream", he conferred with President John F. Kennedy and campaigned for President Lyndon B. Johnson; he was arrested upwards of twenty times and assaulted at least four times; he was awarded five honorary degrees; was named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963; and became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure.

At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. When notified of his selection, he announced that he would turn over the prize money of $54,123 to the furtherance of the civil rights movement.

On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated.
