Muhammad Ali


Muhammad Ali was known as the best boxier ever he started training to do boxing at the age of 12 because he said he was going to whoop who ever stole his bike which he received for his birthday Muhammad Ali between the ages of 18-19 he achieved one of his dreams winning an Olympic gold medal that was one of Muhammad Ali greatest moments of his life Muhammad Ali wasn’t just the greatest boxier of all time but he worked on developing integrity and live a honest life and he did this by following his dreams and doing what he thought was right by speaking out for what he believed was the right thing



Muhammad Ali was a child of two and at the age of 8 he once had all the kids in the neighborhood younger and older than him on his front porch and he was the only one talking by knowing that he could do that at the age of 8 that through out his life he is going to be a leader Muhammad Ali at the age of 8 was showing leadership skills by speaking to all the neighborhood kids then at the age of 12 he started boxing training all it took was an inspiring school principal to be always announcing him at school events as the next heavy weight champion then between the ages of 18-19 he won  an Olympic gold medal before he was 20 years of age he won his light heavy weight champion ship he was also announced 3-time heavy weight champion then he was also crowned sportsman of the century Muhammad Ali athleticness he spent most his free-time training for boxing career not only did he do that but he showed leader ship in his community this subject inspired me by to think so much because he was a great leader and a great athlete


Muhammad Ali greatest achievement was becoming a heavy weight boxing champion when nobody believed that he would and his next greatest achievement was him helping out the community that he grew up and being supportive of school and education that’s how he showed it by being supportive of education and helping out his community


Muhammad Ali showed 2 examples of the creed the first one is I am working to develop integrity and live an honest life he did that by standing up for the right things the second example of the creed that he uses is this I pledge to be caring toward others and live a life of service he did that by helping his community and being caring and helping his family

There are 2 things from the creed that Muhammad Ali showed in his life one was I am working to develop integrity and live an honest life the second was I pledge to be caring towards others and live a life of service Muhammad Ali greatest achievements was becoming the heavy weight champion we should speak out more for the right things and help our community




Rosa Parks


            Rosa park was a person that thought everyone should have rights. Rosa Parks stood up for her rights and was tired of being humiliated and treated unfairly. Rosa stood up to a white man, for equal rights, and shamed America into supporting civil rights for blacks. Rosa Parks cared toward others and lived a life of service. Rosa Parks never gave up she always stood up for her people/ American’s, and never gave up her dream, and risked her life.
            Rosa Parks is an African American woman who was being humiliated and treated unfair. When she was born she was named Rosa Louise by her parent’s. Rosa lived a crazy life she had to work to feed her family. Rosa was a woman who fought for her rights. Rosa parks was homeschooled until she was eleven, then she attended a private school, Montgomery Industrial school for girls. Her life was sad because when she would ride the bus she had to go to the back because she was African, all African’s were treated badly, and they had to pay for a white person’s fare, if they were on front of the bus seat. Rosa received a presidential metal of freedom from President Bill Clinton. Rosa Parks died on October 24, 2005 at age 72.
            I think Rosa Parks greatest accomplishment was when she stood up to a white man, equal rights. Parks shared America into supporting civil rights for blacks, she risked her life. Rosa achieved her goal by ending segregation on public transportation.  Rosa did what was right for the United States. I think that these were her accomplishments because she got the rule she was a women who fought back. Rosa was a hard worker, she went to school, worked to help support her family and to make sure they were fed.
            Rosa Parks fits in the overcome, challenges, caring, and service aspect of the creed. Parks was caring because she cared for her family and cared about people’s rights. This African woman stood up for her rights and was tired of being treated how she was being treated. She overcome her fears and took her first tentative steps towards positive change, not just for her self but African Americans, and for all Americans. Her challenge was with the whites, she had to fight with them from everyone to have equal rights. Rosa got arrested because she refused to move seats on bus.
            Rosa Parks was an African American who overcomes, challenges, caring. And service aspect of the creed. Her great achievement was that she never gave up for her rights, received a presidential metal of freedom from President Bill Clinton. We should all try to live a happy life and not be raises toward other raise, because everyone has the right to sit where they want and do what everyone does, do the same things other raise do.

A Walk in the Dark

As I walk in the dark, I see a bright spark. A part of me told me to go but I didn’t want to so I just said no. Then I saw someone walking towards me. I said to myself, please don’t hurt me. I turn around and sway, so I can get away. I fell a weird breeze and then I hear “Freeze”, so I just stood there hoping I wouldn’t get hurt. I hear a weird noise but it turns out to be a persons voice. The person comes to me saying “Cant you see, your not supposed to be her? not yet at least”. This person was a girl with beautiful long hair who lifted up the air and made it seem so perfect. I say to myself “what is wrong with this place? Am I invading there space?” why can’t I be here? “Come with me, then you will see.” She says to me. “BAMB” I get hit
On the head and black out. When I wake up, I’m back where I started, but with a horrid smell like someone sharted. I don’t know what happened and I don’t know why, but all I knew is that I had to say good-bye. I left, not knowing what had happened that day. Ever since that night I’ve been to scared to ever go out again. I would never take a walk in the dark, hoping I would never see that spark again.

Me

I am one, the one who went wrong the one who has one last chance one last chance to get straightened out
the one who feels bad for the ones that I had lied to
I , me ,my last chance there’s not another one for me
my next stop is D/T for me no more chances, explanations for me
I have to straighten up or get locked up
for me there’s two choices give up or straighten up
keep trying no not trying I’m gonna start doing
no more messing around
only no more doing to get by ,
I’m gonna be the best me

For My Son

I have loved you since
The day you were born
You are the greatest blessing
That I have ever received
I have helped to guide you through
Your life towards a good path
I have always been there for you
I want to see you go to college
Graduate from high school
Have a good job and have a happy family
And support your family
As a single mom
I have done the best I can
Because your dad is nothing but trash
Just like his family…
I know I can do it on my own
And see you grow
Because I have done it on my own
Sense you’ve been born
We don’t need a gangster in our life
That always lies to us
And is never there not even
For your birthday, or there to see you grow
But always remember that
No matter what happens this mom?
Will always love you and be there for you..
I messed up at school and they put me here and I feel stupid because my home is not near yeah my proctor is cool but I want my mother I miss going out or taking to my brother sometimes I complain about how life is so unfair how I’m all alone and no one seems to care the drugs took the chance my family my all but I’m still young and I can get back up when I fall sometimes I get visits but that’s not enough living away from home can get pretty tough being stupid changes your life and makes you think how your not always gonna be a prince or king.
My lil one
Though glass I saw you
It was romitic like a love story out of movie
Me in shackles
You getting ready to gotto court
All kinds of of sorts of thoughts went threw my mind
I don’t knowif I can find the word to describe my love its like you fell from above
I wonder why I tell myself
I still love you im still true waiting for you
To get realsed from the chains of the law its like you saw right threw me but
You still wait
Cause its my fate to be your date
Its never to late
To say
I love you

The Choices

Who chooses whether you can or not have resentments?
There are million of questions to be asked, but who do we let be the one to answer them. Who is the person who knows what is real and what isn’t
How we so sure what we think are real is really not I see it as a dream something you walk into with no thought about it.
All you see is what you want is reality we see.
Once is see the changing within me is thought where I can change the dream
I am lost in a bunch of choices and that to me is control over what is going on.
I am taking over my dream and the choices I have I am the maker of my reality.

My World

I’m tired of being put down and you messing with my head.
Everywhere I go I hear you saying I suck even when I’m in bed.
I’m sick of it you have put me on a lonely shelf.
But with all that I have done I can gladly say I’m proud of myself.

Don’t tell me to shut up who are you to yell?
Don’t tell me I’m not worth it because you can go to hell.
I belong here god died for me too and not just for you.
So like I said before don’t tell me what to do.

Giving me those looks and not even saying hi.
So when you’re all nice to me I know it’s just a lie.
I am beautiful and proud of being chunky.
I am not fat nor skinny I’m proud and lucky.

You can leave go ahead and shut the door.
And while you are at it keep on looking to the floor.
I don’t care what you call me word for word
Because all though you live here THIS IS MY WORLD .

The Keys

No more tricks or sick games with those men so lend me your hand an lets go to places you never did let me stay true to you so open your heart up an give me the key. To your trust so you can see all the lys you heard from those lames an’t the same as me
Cause I don’t play games cause ever since you came in my life it hasn’t been the same
Without you
My life would expire you’re my fire
That keeps
Me lit up
Cause each bit with you
Is like a taste of heaven
All I want is the keys
To your
Heart
My life on ecstacy was quite a fun ride
But how fun is it to smoke when you have to hide?
Everyone is stupid and the people yes I blame this is why I’m here my words I could not claim it was fun it was a trip a trip that got me here and in my family it took a rip I feel some what bad but not all the way because I’m a teenager I live day by day. I still want to do it it was oh man fun but like I said getting caught you feel dumb.
I might seem like a good kid but I still have my troubles.

I HATE YOU…

I wish I could rewind
Go back to where we started
Before all this started
Before you learn what to say to me
How to manipulate me, lie to our son
Now you have done again what you did before
CRUSHED ME
HURT ME
LIED TO ME
HURT YOUR SON
Made me think you were changing
You were just tearing our
Love apart, our son’s heart
You made me just like you, love you more
But till this day I don’t love you like I did
You are just a guy I met when I was young
And my baby daddy I don’t have feelings for
It’s not the same like it was when we fell in love at age 14
I hate you but deep inside I still love you…
I just can handle you hurting me, cheating on me
And Lying to me that’s why
I HATE YOU...

Root Words 1

I live in a democracy
Where the democrat side is a dominating dynasty
With a blow of dynamite but free like a liberty of love
In a philosophy
A philosophy on a drive to pulsate like a spirit
A spirit on a warm spring day with a warm breeze
In the night of sympathy in a vital formation of loves philosophy
Trying to contact like a tractor in a liberal aristocracy
Waiting for the end in a vital tribute
Adding to life like an addiction to a vitamin
Confidentially at work trying to transform

What is the looming figure?

I loom in the darkness waiting
Waiting for what?
Boom the words go pop in my head it’s like a mystery
That hasn’t been solved I see people in the darkness looking unsure and lost. You can look and see they are scared they are trapped and not sure how to get out.
I look deeply in the darkness I understand they are there but gone still in the thinnest of days.
I’m different from them I can still see and understand. I am unconquerable to my fate and my soul.
I look deep in the darkness and see my self and not sure what to do. I am trapped like an addict and hate to see what waits there in front of me.
I walk out of the darkness feeling relieved I am the lucky one,
Because those chumps are dead as you see and can never be the captain of there fate and soul.

Hear You Me . . .

There’s no one in town that I know.
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
What would you think of me now?
So lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
Now I’ll never have a chance.
If you were here with me tonight,
I’d sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so Big.
God wouldn’t let it live.
May angles lead you in,
Hear you me my friend.

Love Is The Movement

She was just a little girl but very independent.
She was so beautiful but my actions chose to end it.
She was my, everything my thirst and my air.
In this dream I realized how much I care.

She came up missing all alone and afraid.
I thought the worst I thought it was to late.
Halloween is evil and a dark time to see.
Was I that bad that she chose to leave?

No yelling, no screams, and no prayers helped.
She didn’t come back no matter how bad I felt.
The days flew by and the nights a lifetime it seemed
I missed her and her smiled that beamed.

Days after depression and wishes of death
I saw her standing there and it took my breath
She smiled and ran to me and an “I love you’’ she sent
And it was then that I realized that, THAT LOVE IS THE MOVEMENT.

If I Was the Last Book

If I was the last book in the universe a message I would leave would be that no matter how much violence of crime in the world it all leads up to something because what ever happens it happened for a reason and people should leave it like that because you cant change it well unless you made a time machine but till then people cant make a difference another message I would leave is if you do something right people wont notice you did anything at all so you should let thing be as they should. One more message would be when you find out who you really are then you discover what you really like for some examples you would notice what you really want in a girl or what you favorite food or sport is also what your really good at, for some people it can take years to figure out who you really are and for some people it just one or two years to find out.

A story I would tell them would be of a guy who never was noticed until he tried something different out of his normal schedule he had once used every day then he realized that trying new things can make people and your self notice who you really are and what your really personality is like.

I would want future generations to know that people had different styles of life like if your in a building and you look around you would notice that everyone has a different story to tell kind of like a never ending book that when you read it you are sucked in to it like a virtual reality game of life even if you talk to a hobo then there is a story you will never here in your life.

Life Is What You Make It

I would leave behind what every I learned in Life, I learned how to leave my life in the system, how to be independent, how to do things on my own. And how thing in life is so complicated there so many things u can do, that you can on your own. I learned how to deal with things differently,


I love dealing with things that matter like my family, there are so important to me because if I didn’t had none of them I wounld know what I would do. with out them, I’m sure I would fig rout but it would be depress you just have to fig rout how to deal with things, there so many people that deal with drugs because they don’t know how to leave there life with out drugs. But they don’t know how to lose somebody I know I lot of people that pasts away from drugs, accident, overdose, just things you do and things that u get in to.

But I wanna leave behind is what every u choose for your life, it can be bad or good I just wanna let everybody know life is really hard when you do stupid things that get you in trouble I can speck for my self life is not easy I love my life right know because I’m learning so many things I have learned when I was in this program (journey ) for anybody that want to know is a girls group home with a lot of girls, I had to learn how to deal with girls I hated there because it was fool of girls nothing but drama I learn how to leave with them, I learn how to share the bathroom , food . Bedroom, everything that I had

I'm the Last Book in the Universe

If I was the last book in the Universe and I had to leave a message behind for you all to read I would probably tell all the people I love that life is what you make it. You choose the decisions in your life and you can make your life worth while. Be a good person, don’t make your life a living hell. Be the person that people want to talk to and be the one that they can trust like I said you choose what you do in life so choose the right thing and live your dream.

For my future kids and grandkids and friends, I want you to no that life is just life. You don’t have to be perfect or whatever just be yourself, if people don’t like you then that’s there problem not yours. Don’t let anyone put you down or make you feel like your nothing in life. Just be yourself and go live your dreams.

My story: Before I went here to summit high school I went to Timpanogos high and I didn’t like it so much because I wanted to be a cheerleader and the cheerleaders there didn’t like me there so I decided no to try out, but now I regret it because being a cheerleader was my all time dream ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted to be a cheerleader and be al popular and cool like my mom was in her teen years. My mom inspired me to be a cheerleader so that’s why I want to be one, so now that I think about it I regret not trying out because now I don’t care about what people think of me or anything, I just ignore and let them say what they want to say so I wish I was like this before and I wish I wasn’t so scared. Now I don’t want to be popular and cool and be someone that I’m not. Now I’m just me and I don’t care about the whole popular crap I just want to just blend in and be myself and next year I’m going to try out for the team.

So the moral of this blog is just to be yourself and don’t make the things or the people in life put you down, just live your dream and be happy.

My Last Book in the Universe

If you were “The Last Book in the Universe” what message would you leave behind? If I was the last book in the universe I would leave the message that gays should NOT rule world and that Obama was the worst president in the whole world. And that people should not criticize other people. We are all human so give everybody some respect man and respect Bob Marley. Let people do their own thing it’s their life let them live it like they want and should. Elect good presidents so the economy does not go bad like it is today.

What you guys in the future should do is build a monument of me. And name it Brad Hancock after me. And worship me as some god or something. Do something with your lives instead of sitting on your fat sweaty butt watching television. Go out and ride a quad or go swimming or exploring go on an Adventure and a half because those are really fun or just go play basketball with friends.

Go and skateboard learn how to do more tricks and stuff. Don’t give up on life just go till it ends because you never know it could end tomorrow so do something and make a difference in the world. Don’t let what other people say get to you and bring you down just be the bigger man and ignore it so you don’t start any problems with people. Only trust the people you care about and you know you can trust don’t just give out your trust or it can end really badly because people can betray you and you will get really pissed and kill some one which you don’t want to do or you will go to jail.
