Hey ,My name is Kyana my book is about the Pear Harbor. This book is important because it talks about how the Japanese planes flew overhead and started attacking the U.S navy. The U.S navy became stronger and wiser after the war. My book ended sadly Adam the boy that went into war dad died from the Japan attack on the U.S navy his dad’s ships sinked to the bottom on the Pearl Harbor. This book still is valuable today because there is a lot of important information and details for kids my age or younger to learn about.

Hi my name is Kyana Barnes i'm a student at Martin and I'm in the 8th grade. The book that i am reading is called A boy at war. his name is Adam he was in the military he studied the pearl harbor. The Pearl Harbor is a major United States naval base in Hawaii that was attacked without warning by the Japanese air force on December 7, 1941, with great loss of American lives and ships. Some issue about homeless animals in Raleigh North Carolina is because they have too much energy or doesn't get along with the family's. I am interested on keeping animals from getting hurt by crazy people and keeping dangerous animals from hurting people.We are affected by helping animals get put in a nice home. Others should care because its sad how animals are treated now days some animals get abused by harsh people. I would host a Fun raiser / start a donation they need all the money they can get.
A significant problem today is the amount of homeless animals in America. According to the Humane Society of the United States, there are nearly 70 million and counting stray animals in America. Only approximately thirty percent of shelter dogs are reclaimed by their owners, and cats far behind with just two to five percent. For every homeless person, there are about five times the number of homeless animals, says dosomething.org. We think this is a very serious situation, because animals do so much for us even when we don’t realize it.
We think that everyone should care about this issue just as much as we do. Animals are helpful to our environment, and pets also make the best of companions. It’s not fair when an innocent puppy is left out on the curb, with no food or a decent place sleep. Imagine if you were in that position. Your parents left you abused on the side of the road, and you had to fend for yourself with nothing at all. It’s not fair to the animals, and that’s why we believe everyone needs to pitch in and help out. The Issue So many homeless animals are in poor conditions. A lot of homeless animals can’t get enough food to survive. Most are found endlessly roaming alleyways or the sides of the road, while others are fortunate enough to be housed in a pound. People should adopt some of these animals from a shelter, or try to help them get to an animal shelter. Some just don’t care, and most of the people who don’t care treat the animals badly. They are the ones dropping them off on the street. Also, they’re the ones abusing the animals. People should treat animals the same way they would want to be treated. I don’t see why people could treat animals like that when they’re so nice and sweet, some people are just mean to animals for no reason. Animal have been homeless forever. Part of the reason that there homeless is because of the population. When animal shelters get to fool. They have to be put to sleep. The Solution There are many things people in our community are doing to help stray, homeless or abused animals. One of the ways is donation; giving money or supplies. Many people in Wake County and North Carolina make simple donations to various animal shelters or organizations dedicated to helping animals. Most people do this because it does not require taking in a pet or any difficult long term commitment. Another thing our community does to help, is offer spaying or neutering services. The SPCA provides vouchers that work with local veterinary clinic, to help people get their pets spayed or neutered for cheap or free. Most shelters also spay and neuter the animals that they receive, to help reduce the amount of puppies or kittens born accidently that the owners don't want or can't care for. Education is another important thing our community chips in to provide. The organization C.A.R.E. For Animals provides public education and assistance to help keep pets in homes, to inform the public and homeless animal issues, and how the public can contribute. Some people in our community also foster to help animals. While this is less common and a lot more difficult than donating a few dollars, many places such as Second Chance have foster programs or take in stray animals. This allows for dogs and cats to have time to rehabilitate if injured, and offers them a place to reside permanently or until they are adopted. Therefore, they aren’t euthanized, or put down. Second Chance is one organization dedicated to helping animals. As it says on their website, “Second Chance Pet Adoptions is the oldest no-kill rescue organization in Wake County. At Second Chance, our mission is to champion homeless cats and dogs who are healthy or treatable in the quest to find their forever homes and engage with our community to promote responsible pet ownership–ultimately reducing future generations of homeless animals”(Second Chance) Despite the community's effort and the amount of people helping, homeless animals are still a big issue. We believe the main reason for this is ignorance. Many people know that there are a lot of pets in the streets or being euthanized in shelters. However, they may be unaware of how dogs and cats get there, and end up making decisions that put animals in shelters. A lot of times people purchase a dog or cat for a Christmas or birthday gift, or just through impulsive shopping. As one organization says, “Suggest a basic underlying dynamic: that the decision to acquire an animal was made casually, without much forethought and planning, or that the Guardian had unrealistic expectations about an animal’s needs and how that animal would fit into day to day life”( No Voice Unheard).Many owners are also ignorant or uninformed about spaying and neutering their pets. They don't know to get their animals spayed or neutered and have puppies or kittens they can’t care for. For these reasons despite people helping, animals continue to end up homeless or euthanized, and this is why there is still a need for help in our community. The Action Plan When you switch on the television and that commercial with the pitiful dogs comes on, many people just want to reach out and help them. Unfortunately, we are unable to volunteer at a local animal shelter for various reasons beyond our control. Fortunately, however, we have another petit plan to take action. It’s simultaneously simple and effective. The supplies required to execute it are available in school, at no cost. Undoubtedly, it will warm everyone’s hearts to see saddening, struggling animals being aided. In short, we are proposing to hold a donation drive event. We ask that the students of Martin Middle School gather supplies that would benefit homeless dogs and cats. Items such as dog or cat food, collars, leashes, toys, or cash donations would be accepted and greatly appreciated. The donors would then bring their items or money to school, dropping them off at a donation-collecting table placed in one or two locations throughout campus. We decided to put a more interesting and touching twist on the concept of a donation drive, by researching real dogs and cats being housed in local shelters, posting photos of each pet, and allowing for donors to make their donations to those specific pets directly. When each participant brings their item or items to the table, they can choose a dog or cat they find adorable, or one they really connect with. Their donation then goes to support that particular pet of their choice! Steps and materials needed to complete the task include first making and hanging posters for awareness, as well as conversing with the school news crew about mentioning our drive in a short advertisement on their program. Secondly, we look for needy dogs and cats on a local shelter website, and print out pictures to showcase at the donation drive. Adding the ability to select a pet to specifically donate to is mostly for entertainment, and doesn't necessarily need to go through if shelters don't allow for direct donations, but pictures will add a flare to it, even if the money and supplies aren't really going to that specific pet. After giving about a week’s notice, we hold the event. A group of volunteering students will help set up a table, and commit to standing and collecting donations. Not too many students would be needed to do this; only about two per shift. The time we leave the donation drive up can vary, based on the time allotted for our project. Our estimate is that we accept donations for one week. Our goal for this plan is to raise $5,000 worth of donations. We hope to achieve this by thorough promotion of the event, and encouragement by teachers and students to contribute. Although our plan is fairly simple, and won't save all homeless animals of America, we strive to make a difference, no matter how small it is. Hey my name is Kyana Barnes. I believe Education come first. I come to school everyday to get my education, even though I don’t like waking up earlyevery morning. I don't like school I think it's boring but I have no other choice but to come. If I don’t come to school and get my education I won't be able to get a job. My goal this year is to come to school everyday to learn and make good grades. My 6th grade year I didn’t take my education seriously . 6th grade year I was in a lot of drama at my old school with these girls.One time I got in A fight with this girl because she wanted to fight me over a boy. I don’t believe in fighting over boys. But because she disrespected me I lost control. I wasn’t thinking about anything but punching her in the face. I could have handled it differently. Fighting is not always the answer. There is other solutions to it like as in talking it out or maybe write it out on a sheet of paper.These experiences showed me how important my education is. Students should take their education more seriously. Because without their education they won’t be able to make it in life. Your education is the most important thing in life. If you don’t know how to count money or read your not going to be able to get a job. Also students shouldn’t go to school just to play because that will keep other children from listening to what the teacher is saying.Now that I learned from my mistakes I come to school to play I come to school to learn so that I can go to college to get a job.
