Kryptonite
Summer Clemmons
Her father was Super Man. She inherited His powers. She had everything to learn, and everything going against her. This is the life of a girl named Clara Kent.
By 16 Clara had learned to fly, look through walls, become invisible, control her strength, and use heat and freeze vision. She had also saved the world 3 times
At school Clara was popular. She was nice and pretty, she hung out with her friends in the lunch area and talked to the boys like they were puppets on string. She was the top of her class, up coming beauty queen, yet no one except her best friends knew her secret, the secret that she wasn’t only Clara Kent; she was also a super hero.
One day after school, Clara’s dad got a call, and he needed to save the world again, so Clara went about making dinner and eating by herself. Then she decided that if she ever had a kid, she would always try to be home on time and never make them eat by themselves. She also thought about how she needed a name and a costume so that she could go out and help her father. Clara went and finished her homework and then went to bed, she never heard her dad come in, but that wasn’t the bad part It was when she got the call to come down to the hospital. She knew something was wrong. She knew that something had happened.
Clara rushed down only to find bad news everywhere she looked; she saw sad faces, new reporters, and other things that just shout bad news. Clara ran in to find her father, only to find herself wishing she had just left it alone, gone home, never looked back, what she saw was her dad, but it wasn’t her dad it was just a shell the life had left his eyes, the smile constantly pressed on his face vanished, and he new that it would never return.
Clara sat down dumbfounded. She didn’t know what to do It was just so… wrong; she thought that her father was always going to be there for her. Clara ran from that place, never wanting to return she promised herself that she would kill who ever did this to her father, she wanted him dead gone she wanted to have the same look she saw on her father. She would only rest then!
After a few years, Clara met up with a few other super heroes who The Slayer kill their parents, the followed Clara because they also wanted The Slayer dead and they knew that they had a better chance with more people. They were hot on his trail.
The Slayer was traveling north to find his next kill; So far, he has killed Super Man, Mr. America, then a few other unimportant super heroes. He was trying to get at Super Mans daughter, and her gang of friends. He knew that they were fast after him and wouldn’t sleep until they had gotten rid of him for good, which it what he wanted them to do. He was trying to wear them out.
Clara knew she was on The Slayer’s trail but she wouldn’t tell the other super heroes. She was afraid they would speed up and waste all of their energy, which she suspected, that is what he wanted them to do so that it would be easier to pick them off, one by one. But they all knew. They had known from the beginning.
The Slayer knew time was not on his side, he also knew that they were catching up, slowly, but still catching up. The Slayer had to stay at a slow pace so that he didn’t wear him self out.
Clara had to rest for the night or she wouldn’t make it; she had gone for so long with out anything, she had left everything to finish this guy and she was not about the let him get the best of her, she was not going to wait and die, with out a fight. Clara told the rest of the gang the plan. They were going to rest, but they had to have a guard watching at all times. They set up the times that everyone would go. Clara however, she was allowed to sleep the whole night and get refreshed.
The Slayer had to rest but was going to wake up in the morning and get an early start. He fell asleep, into the deepest sleep he had ever been sleep, he didn’t dream much he just laid there while nature surrounded him.
Clara set off early in the morning with a refreshed team and a refreshed self. Clara was flying overhead when she noticed a man in a black cloak resting on the ground. Clara mentioned to be silent as they crept down. Suddenly he woke up. Clara realized who it was; it was The Slayer
Clara rose into the air soon followed by The Slayer and Clara’s friends. Soon they were all engaged in the battle of their life, some died but most did well to doge everything that he could throw at them. The mind readers told them where to be, what to do, the healers revived the ones that weren’t badly injured, It was like a big game of dodge ball, just if you got hit… you were out, for good. Clara went invisible, trying to sneak up on him. It was like he knew, or he was just shooting off random fires everywhere. It didn’t matter she still got hit, she fell, down, and after that all nothing, until she felt a warm tingling sensation on her arm.
“Get up!” someone yelled close to her heart, she slowly opened her eyes to let in the little sunlight, no one was in the sky, no one was yelling.
“You did it Clara, you did it!” some one beside her said in a raspy voice.
“I did what,” trying to clear her foggy head.
“ You killed him.” Some said from the back
“How I died, or fainted.” She said so sure she did nothing,
“Some one explain please?” she asked
“ Well when you tried sneaking up on him, and he shot you he thought he killed you because you fell from the sky, so he jumped with joy, which gave Global Girl, a clear shot to the chest” they said, “if you want to see him he is over there, its kind of gruesome though.” Now with her head clear, her arm and chest healed, she walked over to the mangled body of what used to be The Slayer. She could barely tell that is was a person.
Clara ordered some one to dig a grave. When it was done they laid him down, under the earth. Then Clara took off, she didn’t want to hang around, and was never seen again.

Check out my Pay it forward blog
one of the things that I did was there are two little girls (like 1 year old) at my church, and during the service they always cry so, there parents always miss the service and cant stay and hear the service, so I kind of baby sat them at the church while the service was going on and i watch them so that there parents could hear the service.
Well as we all know my Big Brother got into a motercicle acident, so i payed it forward to him by helping him get around and be comfortable in his room. I brought him food on the 1st and 2nd day that he was home (when i could and when i wan't at school) because he couldn't get up and walk around very well.
One night my mom (who cooks everything) was feeling "under the weather" and didn't feel up to cooking an entire meal for us family. So i pitched in and cook, Bread, i helped her make the soup, and/ or pigs in a blanket (<== those are this little sausages in dough)

feature cast from the past
Project Purpose:
To understand the difference between Cause/Effect Relationships and Correlations. To understand how and why major events in history are connected and intertwined (think yarn activity!). To research a major event from U.S. history in order to understand why it is significant and how it relates to other major events. To understand features of a feature article and podcast and to be able to create a feature article or podcast about your major event in history.
Project Requirements:
To present the 5Ws of your major event to the class. To write/peer edit/revise a feature article or podcast. To have at least three drafts in your Writing Portfolio. To present a polished version of your feature article or podcast on Media Night, as well as posting it online to our Team Featurecast from the Past web page (made by James).
Specific Concepts Learned:
Include at least two concepts. Be specific about the information/research/differences between correlations and cause/effect relationships that you learned. You should be able to explain the significance of your event (include specific facts) or give an example of a correlation and a cause/effect relationship between your event and another significant event.
Challenges:
What challenges did you face throughout this project? How did you overcome these challenges?
Real-World Significance:
What is the real-world significance of learning major events in history and how they are related? What is the real-world significance of research or creating feature articles/podcasts?
Specific Concepts Learned:
- I learned how to find really and good info. What you have to do is go to 3 or 4 different web sites or books or what ever your looking at then you have to find which one has the most of the same thing and narrow it down to that then you have real info.
- I also learned a lot about the Rocket ship, Apollo 11, and how it works and that it takes 2,000 pounds of thrust to excape earths atmospheres
My main challenge was finding the correct and right info about my subject. I had trouble finding good sources that had real info that i could use. So i read magazines. Also i talked to Miss. Staff and she told me about sites and gave me articles to read.
The Real World Significance:
Going to the moon accomplished J.F.K.'s dream, and it also helped to get us into a new more techie stage of life.

Querencia Clipboards

BEST FRIENDS LISTEN TO WHAT YOU DON'T SAY...
My Querencia is about my best friends, because i love them all to death! Most of my best friends go to my school like Bella, Claire Anne, Jaqui, MoMo, An Angela. When i'm with them i feel safe andsecure, like nothing could ever hurt me; they make me strong. They make the best come out of me and always expect my best. I know that they could never desert me or leave me they will alwyas be by my side and help me. My friendship with them is like waking up in the middle of a thunderstorm, but you're inside your warm bed; you know your safe but you still feel the power all around you. You can't help but be al little afraid even when you know that nothing can hurt you, and that is the way my friends make me feel.
My best friends know everything about me, from my head to my toes. I've told them EVERYTHING about me, no matter what it is. I can trust them with my biggest secret to my most embarrassing moment and i can have faith that they won't tell anyone, not a soul.
My Best friends are with me through thick and thin. They know all my mistakes and my problems but they still love me and put up wiht me no matter what!
