Gun Shot at ICC apartments

A Gun Shooting at ICC apartments Sunday morning around 1:30a.m. Three men from Peoria was arrested and taken to Tazewell County Jail. On charges of mob action and aggravated battery. Emmanuel Jones was 21, Jemeral Linwood 19, and Rodrick Johnson 19, they were all guest at the party but they did not go to ICC. President John Erwin knocked on door at the apartment to make sure everyone is okay. He was told there was a little party going on but when everyone started to text it grew larger. Then a fight broke out and it lead into the parking lot. A lot of students heard 6 gunshots go off and everyone started to yell and run away. There were injuries and some people were transported to the hospital. When I heard about this I thought about how many people might move out because this happen. They should have had better secretary then what they had that night if they knew that a party was going on. They should have every guest check in before they can come to the apartments unless you go to ICC. That many people should be allowed in the apartment at once. I think a lot of people are going to move out since they think it’s not safe there anymore for them. They are going to lose some business now since this has happen.

About me as a writer again

In the collage and this paper we are on, I found some new things about my writing and what helps me write. These both paper I been staying up really late and writing them. During the day I just can not focus on the paper but when it comes to ten o’clock I have so many things that go through my mind about the paper. At about one o’clock I have it all done and I am ready to go on to the next topic. Even though I get tried that time of the night I still keep writing until all my feelings and thoughts are out of my head. My mom thinks I am crazy for doing this with every paper but it gives me a push to write the paper instead of stare at a blank screen all day until something comes to my head. I been watching One Tree Hill or listening to my music when I get stuck on what to write. I eat a lot of junk food but it stops me from getting hungry while I am writing. I just think that I am one of those students that get stuff done more at night than the morning. I know I am defiantly not a morning person.

Cell phones could give you brain damage

Did you know a cell phone could give u some kind of brain damage? Using any kind of cell phone for ten year or more can increase a person’s risk for any kind f brain damage.  The studies show 50 to 90 percent increased risk for those rare tumors.  T- mobile and Touch 3G-cell phone show the worst radiation.  Doctors say children can only use cell phones for emergency since there brain is still developing. The say adults can use cell phones if they keep it away from their head and use the speakerphone or a wireless headset.  Doctors also said not to us the cell phone in public places because exposes others to the phone. I read this article so many times but it looks like they have nobody died yet from cell phone. I think they should get more evidence first before they start putting it on the news. They have discussed this article before but it looks like it did not get to the people. I read a lot of people’s comments and they just do not seem to care about the cell phones. I kind of really do no think after ten years that u can get some kind of brain cancer through a cell phone.  If they had more evidence maybe I would care a little but there is really nothing there.  I like to talk on a cell phone but I really do not think anyone is going to give up his or her cell phone.

Me as a writer

I am a perfectionist with everything I do, even with my writing. I have to have everything perfect before I turn anything in. I have a facebook and a myspace; I write things on how I feel each day on my page. Facebook and myspace are a big part on my writing because I put my blogs on it and it’s just a way to get to know me more. It makes me feel great, telling my friends how I feel. Sometimes people hate what I put on myspace but it’s just the way I feel and they just need to deal with that.  Sometimes I forget to spell out words because I like to text and when I spell out you I would just put u and not the whole word. So then I have to go back to the begin and change every word.  If I do not like my paper after I finish it, I will throw it away and redo it all over.  I hate to write story’s, I rather I write on how I feel or something that has happen to me in life.  When I see a romantic movie sometimes I like to write about it and try to put it in my world or even tell people how I feel about it.  I write better when no one is around me because I can think more and my mind will just pour out with my feelings.

Letter of Introduction

There are many things I could tell you about my life and what my goals are going to be. I am nineteen years old, and I been playing soccer for fifteen years. One of my goals as a freshman in college was to receive a scholarship to play at I.C.C and I achieved that. This will be my last year to play at I.C.C. for soccer, but I still have one more year to go. I want to transfer to Bradley and major in graphic design. My future goal is to play soccer at Bradley for two years. Next year will be a sad year because it will be my first year not playing soccer. Soccer has been my passion for a long time. One of my goals is to do well in my math class this semester. Another one of my goals is to raise my GPA. My family is a big part of my life because they all have been there for me when I needed them the most. My mom and dad have always been there when I have fallen apart. They helped me get back up. I see both of my brothers as heroes because they have taught me a lot about life and they way to deal with it. My best friend, Alyse has been my friend since freshmen year in high school. Even thought we both go to different college, we always make time to see each other or talk on the phone. She helped me through many things in my life. I have worked at Avanti’s for over three and half years. It has provided me with money to pay for extra things and repairs on my car. They have been great to me; they always work around my crazy soccer schedule. It is a challenge playing soccer, school, and working. It keeps me busy. Soccer is an important part of my life, but my family is the one of the first things that comes in my life.
