What I'm planning to do over Christmas break...

What I will do over break…
My plans for out 17 or 18 day off break include enjoying some nice quality time with family. Since my Grandpa has just undergone knee surgery, we will most likely be spending most of our time taking care of him. (He is not the Grandpa that is messed up in the head.) Our Christmas Eve plans are staying home and sitting by the fire watching TV. Christmas Day we are going by our friends so we can have a nice peaceful diner, and so my Dad can talk to his friend about hood ornaments, and other car parts that the names escape me! Then me and my brother will if we have snow we will go sledding! Where we are going, my Dads friend has a few big hills we can sled down, but will we get snow! I want snow, but you all know we want as much snow as we can get! Even you Ms. McEwen!!! I don’t get it, why do some people hate snow!? Really, Why? I like snow, especially when I can take the snow blower and run through a huge pile of snow! Also I like putting the snow in the street, so when a car drives down the street, they will most likely slide around or get stuck! Sad for them but fun for me! Hopefully we will get a huge snowstorm so I can have that fun. If you read the Farmer’s Almanac on the internet, it will tell you how much snow is expected for that month or week. Check it out. They are calling for a near 1 foot amount of snow in January some time. Hopefully that will happen. But with our Michigan winters, you never know what will happen. And now with the Livonia budget cuts, snow plowing and salt trucks will not be out as much! I’m happy because then they might have to cancel school due to that. Let’s hope that happens. Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Eva The Protector Story

A story about my very little friend.


Jonathon Boyer

And special Thanks To:
Mom and Dad,
Aunt Jerry and Uncle John.
A story about Jonathon and Matthew Boyer, and the struggles with our Grandparents, and the life without Eva, our good friend.
 
My story is sad but true, many will not believe that some people are like this, but yes there are. -Jonathon Boyer

It started in March of 2008 when my Uncles dog Eva was born. She is a 6 and a half pound Dachshund puppy, who took a liking to me and my brother within the past year and a half. She would stay at my Grandparents house during the day when my Uncle Scott went to work at Macy’s (and a Antique Outlet Store). And let me tell you this, it’s not easy living over there. We live a block over from them, and every day after school we would get off the bus, Eva would be waiting for us at my Grandparents house, excited as can be. I would stay over there until my brother arrived, and then we would go home. Now doesn’t that sound nice? Well not exactly. I would go inside the house, greet Eva, and then listen to my Grandparents complain about how bad my parents are, not to mention criticizing me and my brother in the process. We only went over there because Eva was there. And she always wanted to come home with us. Things changed soon after…
About a month passed, and every day, when I would come home from school, it would be job after job. And they were jobs that were not even necessary. At times, they would not even let us come near Eva, work was more important. At times we would take Eva by our house, just to get her away from "Happy Land". We all loved Eva, and she loved us. Eva soon became accustomed to waiting for use every day, and she even knew the time the bus would arrive. Until my brother Matthew and I had gotten so tired of them, meaning the harm and the rude comments. So we left, and this is when we had to say goodbye to Eva, sadly, for good. We were going on a trip to Vermont, for a Classic Car Tour with some friends. And on the way there, my Dad asks us, “How has it been by your Grandparents House?” And that’s when we had to tell him we could not go over there anymore. And the only thing that we thought of the whole time was Eva. We loved Eva, we couldn’t just leave her, what should we do?
We thought about it during the whole tour in Vermont, and we made our decision. We would not be going to our Grandparents house anymore, and that meant no more Eva. Our Dad said, “You can go over there if you want, were not stopping you” So now, instead of going to Happy Land, we visit our Aunt Jerry and Uncle John. They see the best of us, and are always happy to see us. And even though we don’t see Eva anymore, we know she understands. Matthew and I love Eva, and we always will.
It’s going to be about 6 months now, since the last time we saw Eva. Now every day when we get off the bus, I look at her and she looks at me and we both understand why. I would love to see Eva again, but with me now in High School, I don’t want the thought of my Grandparents telling me “You’re going to be a loser” And now, when I get off the bus, Eva is not sitting in the driveway anymore, the house is all closed up. And I ask myself, “What is Eva doing right now” Because I’m not there to throw her toy, or spoil her as much as she pleases. Yes I miss her, but I have my family, and that’s all that really matters. I want to thank my Parents, and Aunt Jerry and Uncle John for all the help and support through this one wild adventure. Eva was our Hero at our Grandparents house, no matter what kind of day, Eva was always there to cheer us up!
Thank You All -Jonathon Boyer

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,
This year has been busy for me! I started High School and it is a big change. Besides that I have not been a bad person this year.
School friends….
Well I met this kid 7th grade when I had just started Middle School. At first he was a real understanding person, but after a while his way of fun and my way of fun was totally different. He wanted to play his XBOX360, with some game that you kill people in order to get paid! And he thought that is what normal people do for fun. So I was nice and said “Maybe some other day.” So then I explained my way of fun. Talking to my best friend Harry Totten on the phone, mostly about school, and other random topics, about how much snow we will get and about the latest technology. But anyways, I told him about what I do for fun and he took it as some sort of offence! Don’t know why, he just did! He told me you should stop hanging around with that floozy kid Harry, and get into what the cool kids do! So I pretty much told him I do not care what he thinks and if he has things to say about my friends, keep them to himself. He did not talk to me after that until I started here at Stevenson this year! He called me up and wanted ME to apologize because I did not like his was of FUN! So I put him on my reject list on my phone and not 2 weeks passed by and he found my Skype name! And that just about set me off! Yet again he had to say something rude about Harry. He told me that “I have a new name for your so called friend, Floozy Armpit Harry!” He thought it was the greatest thing since the invention of electricity! I cannot say what I said to him but he has not called me in about 3 months now. I think he might be mad at me? What do you think? Harry soon found out and he was proud of me, and I was too!
Now let’s steer away from the bad and the ugly and read about now…
Yes I’m looking forward to Christmas and if I have any free time I could hang out with my best friend Harry, and see what is new in his life and mine! Thanks for reading!

The name of the kid I wrote about is not listed. Yes, it is based off a true story. If you want to know who he is, you will have to find out yourself! :)

You’re Friendly Writing Classmate!

Where in the world will you live?

Where will I live as soon as I get out of college.
My budget would be around $250,000- $300,000 for a house. I would like to be living in Livonia, or Dearborn Hights. An office Manager at entry wage makes around $47,000 per year, and each month you would be able to spend $3947 and thats money for heat, water, gas, & electric. After subtracting all the bills, I would not have much money to spend! I would also have to subtract car insurence and gas money for my car! When I think about it, life is not cheep!!! Now I am starting to understand why not many people drive new cars! A car payment can eat you alive! So I would have a pretty slim budget to walk on, so I would have to watch what I'm spending!

Thanksgiving Blog Post

Thanksgiving! But what most of us students and some teachers have been thinking about is our 5 day break!!! And yes, we have been looking forword to it. But what what I should really focus on is much more meaningfull. What am I thankfull for? Some find it hard to think about, but I find it easy. Here are some of the things I should and am Thankfull for...

My Family
Food
A home
Though I have much more, I just can't think of any right now!

My plans for this 5 day holiday are...
Going to see the new movie, 2012. I have been wanting to see this movie since it came out, and just maybe, I will get to go see it. Another plan is to relax and catch up on my sleep, since I get up at 6:00AM every morning, I can finally get some rest! And also most likely helping my Mom cook for Thanksgiving dinner, this is her first year cooking a Turkey, and we all hope it will come out at least edible!
My all time best Thanksgiving meal would have to be...

Obviously a Turkey
Mashed Potatos
Sweet Potatos
Gravy
Meat Balls

Desert Menu
Pumpkin Pie
Brownies
Cake
Or anything else sweet!

A very supprising early Christmas gift!
Not to brag, but my early X-Mas gift, a new Sony 32 inch flatscreen HDTV! How did you get it? Well thats a story itself! We simply went to Costco to buy some brownies, which turned out to be buying 2 new TV's! Yes flat screens are nice, but the price was unbelievable! Each TV was $429.99, and we bought 2! We walked out of the store paying $859.98! The TV looks great in my room, and my brother Matt has been enjoying his too! There were many other TV's to choose from, the biggest was an 82 inch, made by Mitsubishi. The TV weighed about 155lbs! Anyway, this was a Thanksgiving I will not soon forget.

Thanks for reading!!!

My Brief Follow up, of my future job!(s)

Wow!!! We are already talking about jobs! What next? So anyway, I took the career test and my results were just as or different than I had expected. But I was even more thank full that "Garbage Man" did pop up on my list! But anyway, here are a couple of the jobs that I found most "appealing" Enjoy! :)

Job 1...
Office Manager
Here in this job I can be "head" of the company or office. I like the idea of me being the one in charge, that's who I am. As when I or "if" I get that job, I would start out as Administrative or Secretarial positions. Though I would be glad when I become the manager, I'm not the type of person who likes to answer phones all day! So far the research on this job is going pretty well!

What about getting your training or Education first?

Well I'm glad you asked!
This job REQUIRES a two to four year college education not including training. So I guess you can say Jon would go for a four year college and then go for training, which would most likely take another year to two years. I have not yet decided what school I would enroll at, most likely U of M Dearborn or Ann Arbor.

How much money will you make?

Most people make at entry is $ 22.77 per hour, and your yearly income would be $47.370 per year. As you get more experience and or promotions you could be making $85.530 per year, and that's with the most experience. So it's pretty good. If I want that Lincoln Navigator sadly it will have to wait at the dealer until I "EARN" it. Hey, it's a beautiful SUV, that gives me a goal or something to think about, therefore I can work harder to get that SUV.

Next on my list... An Interior Designer!!!
Applause Applause!!!
I was even more happy when I found out that Interior Designer was another one of my future callings. I like moving furniture around finding out where it would look good and so forth! Here is a brief job description of what an Interior Designer does and anything else you might want to know. My way of designing a room would have to be just getting the furniture and placing it into the room the way I want it. Though that way of work would most likely be very confusing, mostly because your supplier would not know what furniture to supply you with.

My Education Preparation!
My Preparation for this job will be as the following...
In order to be an Interior Designer, you need to enter the field with a College Degree, (Recommended) Which I will take into account. Pretty much, i must go to College, not so much that my parents are making sure I go, it's just that I don't want to be a hobo or some drug dealer that gets arrested every chance he gets! That is why I must go to college to get an education and a good job. But anyway, I thought that an Interior Designer Would be a very good job for me! Education requirement's include...
Complete an Accredited Interior Design program.
But aside from all that, that could be my calling. And like I said in my Office Manager paragraph, I will have to yet again wait for my Navigator! Though, I might need a big SUV to help me out with all the heavy furniture! See, you never know when you might need a Lincoln! And the Navigator gets a new front end in 2011, along with the MKX, both get Ecoboost, the twin turbo charged V6, that gives the power of a V8! Navigator will most likely get a much different version of Ecoboost, the V8 that delivers more power. And even better, Ecoboost fuel economy averages at 29.4 city driving, and 35.7 highway!!!

My Paycheck or Salary...

Interior Designers make around...
Entry Wage is $18.69 per hour. Your yearly wage would be around $38,870 per year. As you become more experienced, your wage will or should increase, that's up to if your doing a good job! An Experienced Worker makes about...
$66,680 per year! Still not as much as an Office Manager, but if you like the job and that's whats calling you, go for it!!!

A brief bonus!
And if those jobs did not work out for some conspicuous reason, I would like to become an Auto Salesman!!!
Since I'm a people person, and working with my mental Grandparents, I think I could do it! It would be easy for me to bring in a sale, because I'm a pushy kind of person. "Get it done now!" That would be good for Auto sales. Of course I would be working at a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury dealer, or open my own. Called Boyer Ford, Lincoln or Mercury! It would be an instant hit!!!

Thanks for reading! :)

Top Careers for me :)

My top career job results were…
An Office Manager! A perfect job for me! I’m the type of person that likes to be in control. When I took the career test, I thought that in the results “Architect” would be on my career list. Though I would much rather be an office manager. I can be the one that runs the company and or office. I thought it was a very good match for me!
Another job that was on my list was…
An Interior Designer! That would be the absolute perfect job for me! I like rearranging things, like furniture and so on. That way I can design a room with my own style and be able to put things where I want them. It would give me a chance to work with many people, and learn new ideas from others!

Thanks for reading!!!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all!
My plans for this years Halloween night simply includes staying home and watching scary movies. My brother is going trick-or-treating once again, but not me! I figure I'm to old to go out now and I probably will not get much candy! My most favorite Halloween costume would have to be when I was 3 years old, and I dressed up as a Red M & M! I was so small and the costume made me look HUGE!!! That was the year I had most likely had brought home about 2lbs of candy! My favorite Halloween candy would have to be Candy Corn or Large Hershey Bars. Twislers are good to but they get stuck in my braces. My history of Halloween was already briefly explained, but I can still say more of my past experiences.

From about 2001-2004, me, my brother Matthew, and my cousins Brett and Paige went together. Brett would usually go with his friends, so would Paige. But most of the time we would keep up with them. My Parents, sometimes my Grandma, but mostly my Aunt Holly would walk along the sidewalk while we had our fun. We would get to my Aunts house early so we could get a head start. We would start around 6:30pm, and run until 10:00pm! Talk about a workout! After we finished, (Mostly because we were to tired.) we would combine all our candy into one big pile, then the candy that we did not like someone else could have it! Most of the time we got all the candy we hoped for!

Moving on to my favorite Scary Movies. Well that is pretty easy to figure out because I'm not a huge fan of Scary Movies. But I guess I could share some of my favorites with you!
My number one classic Halloween movie is...
Halloween(With Michael Myers) That movie freaks me out! Especially when I watch it with my Dad or even worse my Grandpa! I say that because right when something bad is going to happen, one of them will yell something out real loud, and I just about go through the roof!!! Most of the time it is my Grandpa. The one thing that freaked me out in that movie is his mask. It's pale white and those who have not seen it before might think it's not scary, once you see it, you'll feel the same! But now back to my favorite Halloween Movies...
My close second would have to be...
Night Of The Living Dead. Not the old version from 1968, the newer one from 1990! The color version. That one is much more realistic looking but some parts of the movie I still to this day do not understand. Some Zombies do not look real. Because they look like they are made of a rubber elastic material. Like how did the Zombies come BACK TO LIFE! Could that happen? And how were they so strong to the point where they could break through a window, and how they can climb up the side of a house. Most of the movie does not make any sense, how did they get out of their crypts? Many had just died and they looked like they have been dead for years. Like Some have been dead for 50 some years, their bones and muscles would have been useless or even gone! Even more, why wasn't the Navy or the Military called in to solve that MINOR problem! All they could have said was "Military, we have a slight problem, we have Zombies that have come back to life! We need Help!!!" I would say that movie is nothing but cornie make believe junk!
My third and final scary movie would have to be Paranormal Activity. The movie is currently in theaters and I want to go see it, but not alone! I'm the type of person that believes that ghosts are real. Why? Well thats because I took a trip with my Mom, Dad, and my Brother Matthew to the Moundsville State Pennitentary in Moundsville West Virginia. That place is downright scary. We had arrived for the final tour at 4:00pm, and while on the tour the Pennitentary seemed very cold and dark. And it was 86 degrees outside and the Pennitentary had no air conditioning. We had arrived at the Dining Hall and while our tour guide explained where we were, we all heard a mysterious knocking sound. As if someone was tapping on the door or ceiling! All the tables in the Dining Hall had been removed when the Prison closed in 1995. It opened in 1876 and closed in 1995. Though it sounded like some inmate was tapping on something. As we continued our tour, we arrived to the cell block. Though there are many in the Prison, we were in the one by the courtyard. The cell blocks rose to about 3 to 4 levels, each on top of each other. I stepped into one of the cells with my brother and the tour guide through the switch and the cold iron door closed. The sound of the closing doors was just terrifying, all you heard was a loud horn and within 5 seconds their was a loud slam! The cell doors were closed, and there was no way out. After we were let out, our tour was pretty much over, but there were a few more stops along the tour. Our next stop was at the Wagon Gate, a place where many inmates were killed from when the Prison opened to about 1959. They were hung. Well over 50 inmates were killed their in the Wagon Gate. Their were 2 riots during the life in the Prison, one in 1973 and another in 1986. Escapes were also a problem, there were 3 Escape plans twice in 1988 and once in 1992. The West Virginia Department of Corrections closed the Prison in 1995 because they thought that Prison inmates were being treated horrifically. Do you think the Prison should have been closed? But the sound of the cell doors slamming, not to mention you can shake the door side to side, that also makes a loud banging sound. Our tour guide told us about how people died horrific deaths their. She even told us how she does not like to go back and turn off the lights by herself, she said she can here the footsteps and voices of inmates walking back to their cells. Some were boiled in pots, some murdered in there cell. The souls of the inmates never left the Pennitentary, they are still serving their time behind the walls. When I got home the next day, I did some research on the Prison, and the cell I stood in with my brother, was the same cell an inmate was killed in. If you don't believe in ghosts, Moundsville Pennitentary will change your mind.
That"s pretty much it. Hope everyone has an awesome Halloween!! Thanks for reading!
Happy Halloween!!!!!!

My Perfect Day

My Perfect Day would start by having a nice breakfast with my Mom, Dad and my Brother. I would have a full pancake meal with some eggs and sausage. Then after that, I would take a trip to a nearby airfield, and I would go flying in a plane. Just a simple ride, nothing big. I would take that plane to New York City; there I would take a tour of the Statue of Liberty. Then go to the Empire State Building and go to the very top and see the view. There in Manhattan, I can see how life is and why they call it the city that never sleeps. After that, I would take a boat out to the Titanic wreck and have a team take me down there and see the great ship. Me, my Brother, Mom and Dad would come along to enjoy this experience. I would explore many parts of the ship, the places that they never go when photographing the wreck. After that I would return home. From there I would...

Well I don’t know? Since that day is sometime in the far future I’m not sure. I don’t really know how my perfect day will be or where it will be, all I know is that I want to be with my family. The passage above was a part of a perfect day that I would like to happen, though it won’t. I don’t know what my perfect day would be like, because if I was to have perfect health for one day that would make my family feel good that I’m healthy, but sad at the same time because I only have a small amount of time to have with them before I go. I would have to see how it would pan out.

A Perfect Day in most types is someone telling you about a fantasy or something that could never be possible. I don't want my last day to be like a fantasy, then it would sound fake or made up. I think of my last day as a peaceful day with the people who love me. I would be in no need for fancy cars or designer clothes, all I would want are my family. Anyway, how can I have a perfect if it is the last day I will be able to talk or interact with my family? I know that my family could not have a perfect day knowing that I’m going to die. Yes my family would most likely do something for me, but I would not want to have a final day with my family, meaning that they would have all this fun, and for what reason after I left. That would make them feel depressed and lonely. My Brother would not have anyone to play with and my parents would be a wreck. I just think of it as only time can tell. And my future is already written for me, yet I don’t know how it will be, I know that I will have a very good life. And that means a life with my family.

Thanks for reading!

Me in Ten Years

Me in Ten Years
What would I be like in ten years? I think I have a good idea.
Hopefully in ten years I will be living on my own in my own house. I plan on having a career in architecture, or an interior designer for houses. Hopefully ranking at one of the most well known builders in the country. That means Higher Pay!!! My dream is to build my own house; here are some of my future ideas…
· Have a beautiful home with an elegant foyer. For example… To have a replica of the Titanic’s Grand Staircase that will be two stories high. Going from the second story to the basement.
On the other hand my way of transportation would have to be a new Lincoln Navigator. How am I going to pay for all this? Well I plan to open my own business. We would do renovations, new construction, and Hotel construction. I don’t know if I will move out of the state, it all depends what state is doing well. Later on in the ten to fifteen year period, I hope to start my own group of classic cars of my own. Some cars on my list would be...

A 1955 Ford Crown Vic

A 1956 Ford Sunliner convertible

1957 & a 1959 Ford skyliner XL500

And yes, I have to have some more!

1958 Plymouth Sport Fury

1957 Chevy Bel Air convertible
1965-1967 Shelby GT350 or GT500

But I need a classic, a 1910 Ford Model T touring (Canadian Version)

Where am I going to store all of these cars. Hopefully I can build an underground garage under my house. That way my cars can't get stollen, my Bedroom will be overlooking the cars!

Cars have always played a major role in my life. My Grandpa is a car collector, see the front page of my blog and you will see what I mean. He has been collecting and restoring cars since before 1960! His first personal car restoration project started in January of 1960. When he found a rotted out, block of rust 1910 Ford Model T. And yes, this is the same car that is on the title heading of my blog! The car was a mess! Thats why my Grandpa has such beutiful cars, he takes his time and does things the right way! The Model T had her first debut at the Old Car Festival in 1971, 11 years after he found her. He showed the car and drove it all over the place, and even participated in long range driving tours. Then in 2002, my Grandpa thought he would restore the car again, and this time as a full blown show masterpiece. The car showed off her new restoration, the way she looked when she was born in the factory. The first show was at the 2003 Meadobrook Concorse D"Elegance. And our luck, the car had gotten drenched. And this car is pretty much all brass. So when brass get's wet, it tarnishes. And right as it started to rain, we were called up to get our award. My Dad started the car, using the crank, no starter moters. The grass had turned to mud, and the car has bald white tires, no tred, just smooth white tire. As we approached the judges stand, we had to go up a fairly steep hill, which was mud. My Grandpa and my Mom looked at eachother, and they slowly drove the car up the mud hill. As the tires slipped, the car pressed on. By the time the car reached the top of the hill, the tires were brown, and the underside of the car was filthy. But the car still won the award, and even if the car got rained on, it still won. It won the full 100 points, and to this day she has won all she can win. I hope I can be just like my Grandpa one day, a Car Guy!!!

This is who I want to be in ten years! I enjoy riding in classic cars, and I plan to have some of my own on day, so Me, my Dad, and My Grandpa can show off our wonderfull masterpieces!

Webster gave me so much help, and he always had a good positive attitude and you’re going to think I’m crazy, but I enjoyed coming to school, just to do my homework with Webster. He made all my work seem so easy. When teachers would explain it, it would be very confusing.

Webster’s main thing to talk about was SPORTS, and yes, he knew the players, and it was really cool to talk with someone that knew so much. When he was not there and we had a sub for about a day or two, we were all lost and confused. Webster and I talked about everything from sports to weather to cars. And I really enjoyed it. I had Webster for two years, 7th and 8th grade, and if it wasn’t for him, I would probably still be in middle school with my brother, who is starting middle school this year. So I thank him for that!

We also had good laughs, like when this one funny radio commercial came on, we laughed for about 10 minutes!!! He was also a concerning teacher, and a good friend. Even when there were those days, where you just can’t seem to be happy, that stopped when you walked into his classroom, it was 56 degrees in there that woke all of us up. And it kept us on track and helped get our work done.
But unfortunately, I moved on, to High School, hopefully hoping that he was transferd, no that did not happen. But all that matters is that I got through middle school, with his help, and now I need to understand that I can’t have everything, and that’s how it is. I thank you Mr. Webster, for all the times that you helped me, and for all the good laughs.

My Fantasy School.

My Dream School

OK, well that would be really cool to have. Here within the next few paragraphs, I will explain to you about my dream school.

Well, the first change would be for all students to be able to choose the classes that they want. For example, if a student didn't want Gym, that student would not have to take Gym. But the student would have to have their core classes. So you ask, "So what will the new school look like?" Well, I'll tell you...

My school would have a number of rail cars that would take students to their classes, reducing the amount of confusion in the halls. Many people might worry about students getting run over by a rail car. Well, no need to worry, rail cars will be controlled by a staff member's computer. Preferably, the Principal's or the Custodian's. One car would be on each hall, and they would all be parked in their halls at the end of the day.

A second change would be to change the desk arrangement, or, to lay out the classrooms as like a college classroom. The seats will be arranged as if you were in a movie theatre, with the classroom doors at the top of the isle way. That way you can have more students. Then in front of the room on the wall will be a nice Big TV screen so teachers can present notes, videos, staff announcements, news headlines, and much more.

At the start of our day we will get a 10 minute time to watch the news and write about it. Juniors and Seniors will get weather and traffic news. And we won't forget the bikers who ride their bikes to school. Many students worry about their bike getting wet if it rains during the school day. Well, not anymore!!! Now bikers will have a private garage so their bikes are protected from the elements. "Can my bike get stolen?" No! Your ID card and student password will open the door to the bike house. "What if I forget my code or my ID card?" Well, you can go to the main office and retrieve your code and password.

Shorter classes would be nice too. Many of us would like shorter classes. The problem with that would be that we would not have enough time to complete the lesson in each class. Another change would be the strength of the homework, and I say that in a very encouraging way. To make matters short, do your work, but should the teachers be less strict about homework? Should they give us students more time? You decide!

To end my comments I would like to mention that I would put in bigger lockers and a bigger school store so students could buy lots of things and have a place to put stuff. Another change would be to have a coat-rack in the lockers so after you go to the school store you don't have to set your coat or jacket down in the bottom of your locker.

So do you think my changes are good?

Thanks for reading!
