This place sounds really cool and what is good about why I think it is cool because I am going there for my sister’s birthday. And we are leaving like three days so I am really excited.  And we are staying in a three bed suite with a fold out couch so if the beds are really big I will get my own. We are thinking about going up just me and my sister with our grandparents earlier then my mom and my dad so we can enjoy some things and they cannot because they’re going to get there really late. And we are only staying for like a day and a half but it will be really fun even though they have a lot of water related things we will still at least go out to the ocean. I hope we can get as much stuff that is really fun into this trip as we can we originally looked at going to stay at Virginia beach but my grandma Linda found this suite for a descent price at the landmark resort and ever since then we shifted to myrtle beach. I am really excited to finally go to Myrtle Beach everyone says it so fun and awesome I am also excited to feel the ocean breeze on my skin when I get there.  And I really hope Alyson has fun to she has been on our case about how she misses the beach and we originally were going to go a couple of days ago but my dad had an appointment for his ears so we postponed it Aly was extremely upset so we told he we would go on her birthday.

How To Be A Doctor



There are many ways to become a doctor but they are challenging, I am going to tell you some.
One way you can become a doctor is volunteer at hospitals and clinics. I will help you get ready for the school so you know what you are doing. Although it will not make you a doctor just by volunteering you have to go to the school find a hospital and get the money to get into the medical school. (1)

The road to becoming a doctor is a long and challenging one. There will be long and stressful nights of studying and learning new things, but you can stay motivated knowing that when you finish school you will have a successful career. Because doctors have the knowledge and responsibility to relieve pain and help someone live. The journey to become a doctor is frightening because the process can be really complicated. (2)

One thing you will have to learn to use is medicine but you can learn to use medicine by going to free clinics to understand how much to give a person and what to give someone that is sick and you will have to learn how to use needles for giving some people shots. And you will have to study some really gross things like I think you will have to watch how to do surgeries and you will have to see some things they do in some laboratories and I am pretty sure you have to learn a lot about bacteria and germs. (3)

Becoming a doctor seems like it is a long and hard journey but it is worth it the money, the career and the feeling that you are helping others become healthy again. I wonder why you will have to spend like seven years learning medicine there must be a lot of different kinds. Although it would be really gross to sit and have to do surgery which is why I want to be a pediatrician. All I would have to do is take care of a baby and some other things although it will take me a while since I am not even in high school. I hope I do become some kind of doctor some day and when I do I will be so happy that I finished the school and everything else.

Genene Jones



Killings Genene Jones was convicted in 1984 of killing an infant and suspected of murdering dozens more will be released from prison without completing her 99 year sentence because of an expired Texas law that grants a "mandatory release" to inmates with good behavior. (2)

She had worked as a pediatric nurse. In 1882 Genene was giving shots to Chelsea McClellan her mother was extremely upset because emidetley Chelsea was having trouble breathing and couldn’t say her mother’s name Chelsea was fifteen months old at the time. Jones injected Chelsea with a lethal dose of the muscle relaxant succinylcholine while Chelsea was in her mother’s own arms. Chelsea shortly died after these injections and jones was held responsible. She was also convicted in hurting another child in an attack which the child had survived. She was sentenced to sixty years or so in prison. but it was ordered to be served concurrently with the 99 year sentence. (1)

Biograhy Genene Jones was born on July 13, 1950, in San Antonio, Texas, and given up for adoption. Jones worked as a beautician before going into nursing in 1977. She worked at several hospitals in the San Antonio, Texas, area before transferring to a medical clinic in the early 1980s. It is believed that while working at Bexar County Medical Center Hospital, Genene Jones killed between 11 and 46 infants and children who were in her care by injecting them with heparin and succinylcholine. The exact number of murders remains unknown because after the first conviction, hospital officials destroyed records of her activities to prevent further litigation and public outrage. (3)

What I Think This chick is really sick, how can she think of murdering little babies. And she should not be released from prison would you want her to be released if she killed a lot of children and one of them were yours? I mean I get that she has been in prison for almost thirty or so years but she should stay in. I would hate to be the mother of Chelsea especially because it happened to her mother right in front of her and she had no idea. Luckily she is not working for the hospital place anymore but they shouldn’t have let this go on I mean I would notice if all these little kids were dying and they all had the same doctor it is not hard to put those pieces together. I hope her parole hearing in 2017 decides that hey this chick killed a lot of people she should not be allowed to possibly get out of jail and do it again. Because I think if she gets out in 2017 she will either kill little kids again or at least upgrade to adults and I do not want that happening and I had no idea this was happening in Texas. I used to live there! I hope she has realized what she has done and how much heartbreak she has caused the family’s that have lost there children.

History of Manassas and Buckhanon



Manassas was founded because of the railroad’s influence. In 1850, the Virginia Legislature authorized the construction of a new railroad line that would join an existing line at the site of the Town. The point at which these two railroads came together was first known as Manassas Junction. During the 1850’s,a small rural settlement grew up and flourished as a direct result of these railroads. In 1861, Manassas Junction’s proximity to Washington, DC, and the strategic nature of the two rail lines, made Manassas an important prize to both the Union and Confederate forces. As a result, considerable fighting took place in the area, including the first major battle of the Civil War and a second significant battle a year later respectively called the First and Second Battles of Manassas. The Civil War gave Manassas an identity. However, true growth and development of the area did not occur until after the war ended. Much of what is referred to today as “Historic Manassas” is the area where that growth began. (1)


Manassas is an awesome place to live and they have a lot of things to do like the jubilee, the national night out and many more fun things and I cannot forgot the Christmas parade and the double decker train ride with Santa Claus.


The European-American history of Upshur County begins with the settling of the Buckhannon River Valley. The brothers Samuel and John Pringle were English soldiers serving in the French and Indian War (Seven Years' War) who in 1761 deserted their post at Fort Pitt (present-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). They traveled southward and upstream along the Monongahela and Tygart Valley rivers, continuing up what is now called the Buckhannon River. They were said to arrive in present-day Upshur County in 1764 and took up living in a huge hollow of an American sycamore. They lived there for 3 years, living off game and fish. Finally one went out for more ammunition and found the war was over. After his return, they moved to the South Branch settlements. John later went to Kentucky, but Samuel returned to the river valley with his new wife Charity Pringle (née Cutright), her brother John Jr., friends Thomas Hughes, and John and Elizabeth Jackson with their sons George and Edward. The City of Buckhannon was established on January 15, 1816, named after the river. Some accounts say both are named for ; others that they are named after an early missionary John Buckhannon. The city was chartered by the Virginia General Assembly in 1852. Buckhannon was part of the Commonwealth of Virginia until the secession of West Virginia on June 20, 1863 during the American Civil War. Because of its near-central geographic location, Buckhannon was long considered as a prospective site for the capital. In 1866, the legislature approved a bill including Buckhannon among the choices for capital, but officials decided the river was not wide enough to accommodate desired commerce.The first courthouse was built in 1854. It also served as an opera house and town hall. Electricity was installed in 1891 to replace oil lamps. The building suffered fire damage in the first six months of electrical service. It was razed in 1898. In its place, a Classical Revival style courthouse, designed by Charleston architect Harrison Albright, was begun in 1899 and completed in 1901. It is still in use today. An annex of the same style was added in 1995. In the cornerstone of the main building is a time capsule filled with turn of the 19th century artifacts. (2) (3)




I grew up in Buckhannon it is a very small town with a lot of people in it it is surrounded by mountains which is insane.
