Nostradamus' 9/11 Prediction



Nostradamus was born in France in 1503 and published a collection of prophecies called "The Centuries" in 1555. Each four-line verse ,or "quatrain", foretells world events far into the future. Many quatrains have came true so far, but a little off. There is one prediction that people have been extremely curious about. This prediction even came with its own illustration(pictured on left). This prediction was supposed to come true on 1999 but came true on September 11,2001. When those words come up ,everyone gasps because that is the day that two brothers fell.


"Even more frightening is the following quatrain. Earth-shaking fire from the center of the earth. will cause the towers around the New City to shake, Two great rocks for a long time will make war, And then Arethusa (a ship) will color a new river red. " (Century 1, Quatrain 87,Nostradamus)


Nostradamus mentions of a "New City", which would relate to "New York City" and “the towers” which would relate to the twin towers.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi



Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was known all around the world after he succeded his mission. He was born on October 2, 1869. The British people loved India's treasures such as cotton ,salt, etc. Indians agreed with queen Victoria to establish British trading routes. Soon, Britian had taken control of India! After that, they made sevral laws that stated Indians would not be allowed to gather their own salt nor their cotton. They could only export the cotton to Britain so they could sell it to the Indians. Indians soon adopted British traditions. Others lived in poverty. The people of India grew angry.Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi solved this problem without hurting any one . He encouraged all the Indians to spin their own cotton. They did and then got arrested. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi told everyone to not fight back and they didn't. He also leaded several walks without violence . After many years , the Indians finally gained their rights and the British were forced out peacefully. Although, some Indians were angry with Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. A angry Hindu assassinated Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi while praying on 30 January 1948 (aged 78)New Delhi, Union of India .

The Warriors of Today


What is the hardest occupation besides military service ? What would you choose ? Well , thoughts are leaning towards teachers. Teachers have so much on there chest each day. 70% of today's children have an urge to not follow directions and talk. Who has to put up with that and enforce it? Teachers have to. Every day the teachers have to plan lessons for five periods or more. After that they have to grade all those papers the students complete. My mom is a science teacher at Caramel Elementary and she has to wake up at five o'clock . You can't go to bed early because you get home so late and you have so much papers to grade. It is extremely hard having to be a teacher. The real teacher-warriors out there are the ones that are nice ,but tough at the same time. Those are the ones I would like to really thank for there service. That means you Mrs. P, Mrs. S, Mrs. Z, Mrs. G., Mr. H. , Mrs. C and all the others at Mill Creek and my other old school ! Thank you very much!

My Ancestors


Over 500 years ago (1501 or 1507) a women was born ,her name was Ann Boleyn . She was the daughter of Thomas Boleyn and lady Elizabeth Howard. She grew up and became King Henry VII's second wife. King Henry wanted a boy to take over the crown. But, Ann Boleyn boar him two daughters . King Henry VII was angry and wished to divorce Ann Boleyn . She refused; if she did not divorce ,her eldest daughter would become queen. King Henry was angry ,he gave her a choice. She was to refuse the divorce and die so her daughter would become queen, or she could divorce and live, but her daughters would fall out of the royal blood line. She selected death, so King Henry VII chopped her head off and her eldest daughter , Elizabeth, became the queen after her father's death. Ann Boleyn died on May 19 ,1536 in hope her daughter ,Elizabeth, would become Queen of England. My family traced back to that time, we were some how related to her (cousins).
I pray God save the king and send him long to reign over you
,for a gentler nor a more merciful prince was there never: and to me he was ever a good ,a gentle and sovereign lord .....And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all ,and I heartily desire you all to pray for me . O Lord have mercy on me , to God I commend my soul .
-Anne Boleyn's speech at her execution ,May 19, 1536,Tower of London

Cooling Off with Drawings



Sometimes when I come home, I feel depressed , angry, and very lonely. It is hard being in Middle School . Every student is deciding what path to take ,where to go. They can't think, so they just are mean to everybody . Those bullies out their are just scared little people. It just makes them feel good when they bully. Yesterday, there was this kid that would not stop picking on me. I then said, " I WILL fight you ANY day and time you want!", he then turned completely pail and walked away. At the beginning of the school year I sat near this bully, he kept picking on me every class period. I finally elbowed him in the arm, he NEVER messed with me again. Now ,he respects me. But, every body in the school is still mean . I still come home depressed because I have no one to hang with. So then, I place my feelings in paper. I work on a drawing for hours at the time. On the left, you see a drawing I drew yesterday. It asks you which path you want to take. Do you want to be a servant of God, be loyal and be kind? Or, tease and bully everyone ? The stars symbolize the servants and the demons symbolize those who take the wrong path . I now have found the way to overcome depression, prayer, and drawing. Try this, see how it works for you. Yesterday I prayed ,asking God if he would send his angels to keep all the bullies away and let in kindness. Well, I went to school and NO one teased me that day. Even girls started talking to me. I know understand that prayer works .I have faith in God. I will follow him forever and ever more . God will stand with me when I get bullied, when I draw, when I am depressed. He will be with me always.
