An 81-year-old Rhode Island woman came forward on Tuesday to claim a $336.4 million Power Ball prize, the third biggest jackpot in the game's history, lottery officials said. What I would do with the money you ask? First off, I would take care of my family and my closest friends. I would have us move to a better home for us and I would make sure no one would bother us I our new home. I would also buy all the technology I have always wanted.
Once I did that I would donate money to many local charities like the ones that deal with giving food to the homeless in Africa. I would also donate money to the Kony problem in Uganda. After that I would donate money to churches around my area. When I was done with that I would focus more on myself. I would buy new clothes, cars, furniture, and etc. I would also build my own basketball gym in my new house.

Life As I Know It

I believe I am maturing at my certain age and grade (15 years and 10th). We start realizing who our real friends are and where they stand in our lives.  This is the point in our lives where we realize where we are and where we can possibly go. That is exactly how I am feeling right now. I feel my patience growing thin with the childish people I have to attend school with. I ask myself questions like, why am I here. Where is this taking me?
I have also realized how bad of a dad my father really is like he called me yesterday and asked me why I applied for a job. He told me that I did not need to work because he gave my mother the child support money and I kept thinking in my head: we would not be in this predicament if you did not mess up. All I told him was that I want my own money to spend so I don’t have to rely on child support money and my mother’s money. I want to be better than where I am and I want to prove to the people who doubted me doing what I want to do in the near future. I have really grown tired of it all. I don't want to live a mediocre life.

There was a school shooting in an Ohio high school dealing with the gunner and three victims. He was beating a student up and then he pulled out the gun and killed the three boys. One of the victims mothers spoke with ABC news about the shooting and she said she would forgive him because we don't know what he was going through if we don't put ourselves in his shoes.
I agree with what the mother said because we really do not know what he went through at home or in his past. He could have been raped or assaulted and even beaten for all we know. He could have even been forced to by someone behnd the scenes for deep reason; but i also believe there should be consequences for what he did because it is against the law. It is wrong to kill three young men for reasons unknown in our society. It could have been what was right to him.
