My Spring Break...

For my Spring Break I am going with the First Baptist Church to Forth Worth on a mission trip. We are going to be helping the less fortunate kids who don't regularly go to church or might not get the opportunity to go. We will be playing games, singing, doing crafts and teaching them the word of the Bible. We will be leaving Sunday and staying until Friday. On Friday though, we are going to get to spend the day at Six Flags! I am so excited.

My "Ideal Spring Break" would probably be getting to spend a week with my friends! I know it doesn't sound very exciting or interesting, but I think that's the best thing in the world. Just getting to hang out with my friends.

Unemployed California Dad Who Killed Family, Himself Said Hospital Incited Tragedy

An unemployed Los Angeles father said in a suicide note that he methodically shot and killed his family before turning the gun on himself because he and his wife were fired by the hospital where they worked after being told "you should have blown your brains out."

But the hospital said it was "confident" that none of its employees told Ervin Lupoe to take his own life or kill his family.

Police are investigating after finding a horrific scene at the Lupoes' home in Wilmington, Calif., on Tuesday morning.

In one upstairs bedroom, the bodies of twin 2-year-old boys were found beside their dead mother. In another bedroom, 5-year-old twin girls and their 8-year-old sister lay next to their lifeless father.

Lupoe, a X-ray technician, and his wife had both recently been fired from their jobs at Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center.

His letter, faxed to KABC-TV in Los Angeles, indicated that Lupoe and his wife — both 40 — had been investigated for misrepresenting their employment to an outside agency to obtain child care.

He claimed that an administrator told the couple on Dec. 23: "You should not even had bothered to come to work today you should have blown your brains out."

The Los Angeles Police Department said it's unlikely the hospital would be held legally responsible for telling Lupoe to blow his brains out.

"I don't know how someone's statement could be prosecuted," LAPD Officer Sam Park told FOXNews.com. "It's just like if I told you to go jump off a cliff. I don't think it could be prosecuted legally."

Park said he wasn't aware of any investigation into the hospital or its employees.

Attempts to reach the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office for clarification were unsuccessful.

Lupoe's letter said the couple complained to the human resources department and eventually were offered an apology, but two days later they were fired.

"They did nothing to the manager who stated such and did not attempt to assist us in the matter, knowing we have no job and five children under 8 years with no place to go. So here we are," the note said.

Police believe Ervin Lupoe killed his five children and his wife before turning the gun on himself.

"Why leave our children in someone else's hands?" Lupoe wrote in his letter to KABC. The station posted the letter on its Web site with parts redacted.

The station called authorities after receiving the fax and a phone call from Lupoe, and a police dispatch center also received a call from a man who said, "I just returned home and my whole family's been shot." Police are unsure who the male caller was, but they suspect it was the father.

Officers rushed to the home in Wilmington, a small community between the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday and found the bodies.

All the victims were shot in the head, some multiple times, coroner's Assistant Chief Ed Winter said. The killings may have occurred between Monday evening and early Tuesday, based on neighbors' accounts of firecracker sounds, he said.

Although the fax — addressed to "whom it may concern" and explaining "why we are dead" — asserted that the wife, Ana Lupoe, planned the killings of the whole family, police Lt. John Romero said Ervin Lupoe was the suspect. A revolver was found next to his body.

It was the fifth mass death of a Southern California family by murder or suicide in a year. Police urged those facing tough economic times to get help rather than resort to violence.

"Today our worst fear was realized," said Deputy Chief Kenneth Garner. "It's just not a solution. There's just so many ways you find alternatives to doing something so horrific and drastic as this."

Ervin Lupoe removed three of the children from school about a week and a half ago, saying the family was moving to Kansas, the principal told KCAL-TV. Crescent Heights Elementary School Principal Cherise Pounders-Caver said nothing seemed to be troubling Ervin Lupoe, and she did not ask why the family was moving.

Kaiser Permanente Medical Center West Los Angeles released a statement confirming Lupoe and his wife were fired as medical technicians more than a week ago. The hospital said the firings followed an internal investigation but would not specify why they lost their jobs.

Lupoe's fax identified his children as Brittney, 8; 5-year-old twins Jaszmin and Jassely; and twins Benjamin and Christian, ages 2 years and 4 months. Winter confirmed the identities of the girls, but the boys' names were pending.

To Amanda Garcia, everything seemed normal in the Lupoe house next door. Her neighbors always had a friendly wave and their five young children would play outside.

"They were happy, they had birthday parties," the 22-year-old Garcia said as she choked back tears near her home. "The kids were always outside on bikes, riding on their wagon."

Alphabet Story...(Makes No Sense At All!)

A cynical old man was walking down the street one day. Behind him was a little girl who had always wondered why he was so angry all the time. Catherine, the little girl's name, was a very affable person. Doubtfully, the girl poked the old man in the back hoping he would talk to her but he wouldn't turn around. Eventually, he turned around and gave Catherine a very hateful look and even told her that he abhorred little children. Face-to-face they had an intimidating stare at one another. Generally, someone would blink. However, the demure little girl looked away with such a sad face that it left the old man with a dilemma. Infact, he almost felt bad and started to talk to her only to remain quiet again. Just before the old man went to walk away, Catherine grabbed his hand & it startled the man. Kindly he turned back and looked at her. The Loving and sweet Catherine gave him a nice smile. Manuel, the grumpy old man's name, had a feeling he had never felt before and he didn't know what had made him feel this. No one knew what happend to Manuel to explain this either. Other than thinking it was the little girl who made him feel that way, Manuel to this day still wouldn't be able to tell you what happened to him. People say that it was the look on Catherine's face that gave the man a remorse feeling that made him upset about the way he was and it changed him. The Quiet man, or should I say the NOW quiet man, soon began to help people that needed it and even participated in their communities' events. The Ragged man now dresses like a normal person should. Sometimes, he kind of goes back to his old ways, but then is very fastly reminded of why he changed. Then he remembers and knows that he never again wants to be an old fussy, grumpy man that does nothing but yell at everyone he sees. Unfortunately, Manuel has become very, very ill and is not expected to live much longer. The Very "now-loving" man has many friend, young kids to older adults. With all of these people behind him praying and hoping he gets better, I'm sure he will very soon. X-mas would be sad if they didn't have their new friend there with them to celebrate it too. Yet, they would have the wonderful memories Manuel has given them. Zombified by the news that they recieved shortly after he got ill, they all made little gifts to take the man and when he saw them he had the biggest smile on him that I'm sure none of them would forget.

Through They Eyes of A Dog

Hello! My name is Bevo and I used to live with the greatest people in the world. Their names were Amber, Jonathan, Rhonda, & Jamie. They loved me so much. I could feel it every time one of them would come home and scream my name. I would start running to them because I didn't see them all day so when I finally got to, I was so happy!
But one day, they didn't come home and I got scared and worried. It felt like they didn't come back for days and days. I started getting hungry and I had eaten all of my food. So, I started looking around to see if there was anything else to eat. But all I could find was just their things. I was so hungry that I started chewing on their stuff to see if I liked any of it. Well, they eventually came home and saw the mess. I heard the man of the house say that they had to get rid of me if I was going to keep acting like that and chewing on stuff I know I'm not supposed to chew on. So I tried to make sure that I didn't do it again! But, one day when I woke up from my midday nap I was hungry! I knew that they were only supposed to feed me in the morning and at night. So I couldn't eat in the middle of the day if I had already eaten my food. Which I had! I don't know what happened!! My mind just went crazy and I only remember waking up hearing Amber screaming "OH NO!"
When I looked around me, I saw that I had chewed up their shoes! I was so scared. I knew that I was going to get put in the pen! So, as I hesitantly waited for everyone else to come home, I tried cleaning up my mess. Which, by the way, didn't work. When Jamie finally came home and saw what I had done, he told everyone that he was through with me and it was time for me to go to another home. Amber and Rhonda started crying and said that they didn't want me to leave. But Jamie said that we didn't have a choice.
A couple weeks went by and soon enough, they were taking me to another home. Amber was crying and holding me, while Rhonda was trying to convince Jamie to let me stay. When we came to a stop, I noticed we were at a house out in the country and I thought that maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. I would get to run around and play and chew on things outside without getting into trouble.So, Jamie went and knocked on the door while the rest of them told me bye. It was probably the saddest I have ever felt in my whole life! When Jamie got done talking to the owner of the house, they both walked over to me and Jamie handed me to the man. Amber and Rhonda were crying so hard that it made me want to cry! Then, they left and I was left there without a friend to love me.
Eventually, me and my new owner got close and I can tell that he now loves me almost as much as my other owners did, and I love him, too! I still think about them, at times, and wonder how they are doing.

My New Years...

So for New Years I'm pretty sure I did absolutely nothing, but still managed to have fun. :) I was just with one person and all we did was watch movies and watch the ball drop. Then I went home.

I don't have a New Years Resolution (other than to try and get straight A's the rest of the year) because I have decided that if I make some and they don't happen or I can't do it or whatever, I won't be disappointed. So, in my opinion, it's best to just not have any major resolutions that probably won't happen.

Christmas :)

Christmas would probably be my favorite time of year. I love getting together with my family and opening presents. Every year, I go to my grandma's house and stay until Christmas morning. Then, we all wake up real early, usually around 5 in the morning! We go to my aunts house and me and one of my other aunts pass out everyone's gifts. When they are all passed out, we see who can open all of their gifts the fastest. It's a lot of fun. When we all finish, we eat breakfast then go to sleep while my grandma cooks lunch. :) Then we go back to my grandma's house and just hang out with the family. Christmas is usually a great time for me and my whole family to get together. And it should be now since I don't get to see them anymore.

But, it doesn't feel like Christmas to me. I don't really know why. I think it's because I'm not around my dad anymore since he's getting married. We don't talk hardly at all anymore. And I miss that. We used to be so close and Christmas used to be something very special for us. I guess things can't always stay the same. I miss my dad. And I'm going to miss him on Christmas. Along with the rest of my family that I won't get to see. I hope they have a wonderful Christmas.

Yesterday's Game...

So I went to the guys' game last night and from now on, they better start appreciating me more! It was so cold. I pretty much froze my butt off. I went with Kassandra and her step-padre, Mr. Joe Trevinyo. I'm not too happy with him at the moment because him and Hector Alexanda Trevinyo killed a poor, little, innocent sheep. So, when I got into the car I said, "Mr. Joe, I'm not very happy with you right about now." And he said, "Why? I didn't do anything to you!" Then, I told him why and we started arguing. After we were finished, he gave me and Kassandra some candy, and we were fine. :) But back to the game. IT WAS COLD! I didn't think it was going to be that cold but when we got there, boy did I find out I was wrong. Me and Kassandra stole her Aunt Connie's blanket and we wrapped all up in it. But, guess what!! It was still cold. Thankfully the guys won 24-0. But like I said, I better be more appreciated for that. :)

Halloween Controversy..

I think they are making too big of a deal out of it. If it wasn't for that one person wearing a costume he probably knows he shouldn't have wore, then everyone would still get to wear their costumes. The school should just ban Walter from wearing a costume, since he was the one to ruin it for everyone else. That really isn't fair that he did that but got everyone else punished because of his dumb choices.

If I Was Invisible...

Do you ever wish you could be invisible? Well, I do. At times, when people are talking about me, or if someone embarrasses me, I wish that no one could see me. When I get embarrassed, my face turns red and people usually stare more. That, sometimes, makes it worse. No one likes when they get talked about, but everyone wants to here what others are saying about them. I think being invisible would be an advantage because you could find out so much by spying on a person to see what they say about you and/or others. But, with advantages, comes disadvantages. A disadvantage about being invisible is that no one would see you and you couldn't talk to anyone. But, I like being visible just fine. :) Of course, every now and then it would be great to be unseen, just not for too long.

Memories..

One of my favorite memories was at the end of my 8th grade year. We had our 8th grade graduation and I remember how everyone was so excited to get into high school. Everyone was dressed so nice and their parents were too. There were hundreds of pictures being taken and a lot of signing people's yearbooks. When we got to the auditorium, everyone got in their seats and waited for it to begin. The principal started off by saying what a good year it had been and how he was proud of our goup of students. He told us he would never forget us or the memories we had given him his first year as principal. After they called our names to get our "diplomas," they played a video some parents had made. I remember feeling sad as the video played with the song "Friends Forever" because of the words in it. I guess several other people felt sad too because as I looked around I began to notice them tear up. As the video went on, and the song kept playing, I started to listen to the lyrics more and more. I think after everyone started paying attention to the lyrics, it made us all think. What's going to happen after we graduate? Will we still be friends? Who's going to be doing what? And many more. That song really makes you think about life after graduation. Well, it made me think about it anyways. It makes me sad to think that in just 3 years, we'll all be going our different ways and doing different things. After being friends with everyone and getting so close to each other, its going to be hard having to leave them.

"And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of the night in June
I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And There was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and
We would get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever

A New Tradition...

It's weird not having a bonfire because I've never been at a school that didn't have one. I understand why people are concerned about us getting hurt, but I also think that they should have moved the bonfire somewhere else where it wouldn't get close to any houses. They could have also made a set limit for how close you can get to it. Instead of just totally doing away with it, just come up with an alternative place for the bonfire. But since that wont happen, I think that a new tradition would be to get out at noon on Homecoming Day, have the parade sometime after lunch, and then have the pep rally after that. I don't think that you should have the parade the day before or day after. Have everything on the same day. But not all crammed together. That's why they should let us out at noon so that there is plenty of time to do everything. :)

I Wish...

I wish there was a law that said cell phones are allowed in school and can be used at any time. This would be a good law because school would be so much more fun! I like coming to school-well sometimes-but again, it would be way more fun and alot of kids wouldn't get into trouble for using their phones like they do now. And the principal wouldn't have to waste so much time talking to students for doing that. :)

TEWWG Pre-Reading Journal

I think this world would be a lot different if there weren't any "labels." People tend to judge other people based on several different things. Rich or Poor. Pretty or Ugly. Fat or Skinny. If you dress nice or if you don't. Where you live. Where you shop. And so many more. If everyone would quit worrying so much about the stupid little things that don't matter and focus just on the things that do, then I think this world would be such a better place. I know that just in school, everyone gets "labeled" whether they like it or not. And I'm pretty sure you don't ever get out of being labeled. No matter where it is. School or work. Someone will make a judgment on your appearance and not get to know you first.

In Ten Years... 9/15/08

In 2018, I hope to have already finished college & started my life career. I don’t really know what I want to do yet, but I know I won’t be in college that long! :) I would like to have a family by then. I don’t want to be an old lady and just have started my family. Other then that, I have no idea what my life will be like. But I do know that I’m going to make it as fun and as great as possible!

Journal 9/11/08

I was in 3rd grade on September 11, 2001 and I remember my principal coming over the intercom and asking the teachers to turn their t.v.'s to a certain channel. They sat and watched completely shocked to what they saw. Teachers began going to each others room asking questions. My teacher didn't leave. She just sat there looking at the screen with tears in her eyes. None of us knew what to say or what to do. We just sat and watched as the principal came in and gave her a hug, and she started to cry harder. She left the room and the principal stayed and talked to us. We couldn't figure out why she was so upset. Then, he told us that it was because she had family that lived in New York very close to where the Twin Towers were. She didn't know if they were dead or alive, but she knew it wasn't good. She didn't come back that day and we all got to leave early. When our parents were called they were all waiting outside for us. Everyone was in shock, but none of the kids knew why. And no one would tell us. When I got home, I was told what happened. But i was just in third grade, I didn't really understand what the big deal was. When my dad got home, I had more bad news. We were going to move the next week because of my dads job. I was so upset. I didn't want to leave my friends or family there. I was so happy where i was. When i went to school the next day, it was different. Teachers were crying, kids were sad, and I didn't know what to do. I wanted to stay there. Not leave. When I told my teacher, she just gave me a hug. And we sat there hugging each other and crying. I remember feeling a lot of things. And sad was the main one. I felt so bad for my teacher after a couple days as we found out that the family she had in New York didn't make it. She wasn't there when I moved to say bye. She was in New York. Just like a lot of families; at funerals. That was 7 years ago. And i remember it like it was yesterday. I think that we should remember everyone that died that day. And thank our soldiers fighting in the war. You know, it's true that you never know what you have until it's gone. So, make sure you let everyone you know and love that you're thinking of them and love them because tomorrow is never promised. You don't know what could happen to you or someone you love.

Journal 9/10/08

If I got the chance to change one thing about my life, I wouldn't change anything. I love my life, and if anything was meant to be different, then it will eventually happen. I love my friends and my family so i definitely would not change them! I think that everyone should be happy with the life that they have because someone, somewhere, has it way worse then you do. So you should always be happy with the life you have, and with what you have.
