6 Weeks

Well everyone, we are into the 6th week of school. Is that just the hardest thing to believe? If there was one thing you could change about these 6 weeks what would it be?

"Stop" and be a friend with someone

The last three weeks we have focused on friends. Old Yeller, was about an animal friend who gives his own life to protect his friend. Mother Fletcher's Gift centered around an older lady who was different in color and economic background, but was just like anyone else, and needed a friend for the holidays. Viva New Jersey introduced a young girl who had no friends and after finding a puppy she found someone who had a lot in common with her.
Finding friends can be easy or the hardest thing you have ever done. There is a new kid in school. How would you make them feel comfortable and become friends with them?

Away from HOME

Have you always lived in Fairmont WV? If not where have you lived during your short life? If you have always lived in Fairmont, where would you like to go? (For a short time or to live and go to school) Or are you happy living here because this is where you do and will call home?

Community

This summer I went to other communities to help the street people. During that time I encountered many people in need and the only think I had to offer them was a smile and a snack. They welcomed me to their park bench and were willing to talk about how they came to be on the streets. Now I come back to Fairmont and see the same need. How can you change your community? What can you do to help others? What would you like to see done in your community?
