Novalena

Novalena (last name) was born in San Fransisco and raised in the bay area. Her average day consists of a full time job publishing and promoting an inspirational book for women called, “The Total Female Package.” She also co-authored “Secret” and wrote a chapter in “Strategies for Success.” But writing books is not all she does.
Novalena also likes traveling around the world. In fact, when Novalena was 22, she went backpacking all around Eourope for six weeks. It was one of the best experiences of her life and she learned so much about other countries and it changed how she looked at the world once she came back to America. Novalena also enjoys movies of all sort, but she enjoys love stories the most and thrillers because she loves going to movies seeing if it will excite or scare her.
Novalena’s high school life included a lot of honors and AP classes. That sounds like she wouldn’t have much of a high school life, but she was very social and was popular yet she was still focused on doing well in school so she can go to college. Her craziest high school moment had to be during her senior trip because she was free for the first time in her life and she could do whatever she wanted, so she left senior year celebrating a lot and enjoying her last times of high school.s
Novalena life is based on 5 words that have a lot of importance to her. These words are Love, Connection, Growth, Authenticity, and Relationship. These 5 words are what makes her who she is. Novalena is also big on family. Her parents have played a big role in helping her become who she is. They are both her best friends, and unlike most people, she still talks to the regularly. They are both her heroes and they have both taught her about being authentic and being herself no matter what other people think. Her dad was held back when he was younger by Novalena’s grandparents and they told him to get a safe, secure job like being a janitor. But he had bigger aspirations so he has encouraged Novalena to follow her dreams and do what she wants to do and feels passionate about.
Although Novalena is not married, she already knows what her perfect future is going to be like and it includes a husband. She plans on having at least two kids of her own and than she wants to adopt many more and travel with all of them around the world so they can learn like she did.

Writing In Reverse

Tyron Darrell Jackson Smith has had a great day so far. He had a good day at work earning money for his family and he even stole something for his family without anyone even noticing at the store. He was headed to the subway when he picked up a newspaper to read on the way home. After passing through the turnstile and finding a spot in the subway, he began to read the newspaper. What he founded was interesting. There was an article talking about a tall slender man stealing items from various stores. They even had a video and a picture of the guy on camera at a news site but the picture of the man is sort of blurry but you can still make him out. Tyron felt like he knew that man. In fact he did. It was him. Tyron felt a rush of fear go through him. What would happen to his family if he got caught? What would they do to him? Right at that moment some cops came in holding sketches of what was supposed to be him. He got a glimpse of the pictures and they looked almost exactly like him. Without hesitating, he got up, dropped his newspaper, and ran through the door while it was still open. Behind him he could hear the police yelling “HEY, STOP RIGHT THERE!!” but he didn’t. He kept on running. Running for his life. Running for his family. He flew past everybody going up the stairs and out into the New York crowd. Tyrone figured all the people around him would hide him from the police, but it didn’t. He could still hear them yelling for him to stop. So he went through everybody to get away, like how a football player would run over defenders to get a touchdown. But now there was more police chasing him. He didn’t look back but he could still hear them. Tyrone ran through an ally and finally looked back just to see four police men chasing him so he went through another ally. But this time it was a dead end with a fence. He was about to run back but he heard the police rounding the corner so he tried jumping over but he slipped and fell. This was it, he though. All he did for his family was going to be gone. He didn’t even care about what was going to happen to him. All he cared about was what his family was going to think of him. Were they going to hate him? Are they going to think he’s a bad person? These questions went through his mind as he was standing looking back at the police who were getting closer and closer. He didn’t want to find out the answer to any of them though. All he wanted was to get home, so he tried one more time. He used all his strength to pull himself up and over the fence and make it with the police right on his ass. They were so close he even felt one police try and grab his shoe. But it didn’t matter to him because he was now safe, but only for now. Thankfully the police were too fat to even consider trying to climb the fence. Out of breath, Tyrone jogged his way home to safety. To his family.

America's Problem

I feel like America really needs to stop getting so involved in other international affairs unless they know it won’t do any harm whatsoever or cause any problems between countries. I feel as if the only reason the America should even need to involve themselves in international affairs is if they need to help a country with specific necessities such as: food, water, supplies, etc. But other than that, we don’t have to get involved in other countries government or try and tell other countries what to do with themselves because it’s what if they don’t need it and think that were trying to start something with them. I know if any other country tried to do to us what we do to others, there would be a problem, a big one. I think we feel like we can boss other countries around because were one of the most powerful natures in the world and I think that’s wrong. It makes me feel like we’re almost the bullies of school, except it’s more than that since it’s the whole world we’re bullying. Like I said earlier, if only we used our power to help countries, there would be more that like us instead of being against us. I’m not saying we never do help other countries, but everyone would be better off if we just focus a little more on helping other countries with what they really need help with, rather than what we think there problem is since it really is their country, not ours. The fact that we’re bigger and better than other countries gives us the false idea that we have the right to be the world’s police even though we don’t.
