My Final Essay



Today is the last day of summer school and our last essay to write. The essay topic is about what we have learned in this summer course. Well Ive learned a lot these past weeks. I learned how important a persons voice is and how to your voice. I learned that we need to take time and smell the flowers and enjoy this beautiful earth. Also I learned how to treat others and this planet with respect. I learned that its important to be involved on whats going on in the world and in politics. I will take all that Mr. Leh has taught me and use in it my further school studies and in my life to become a better person.

Mr. Leh is all about respecting and treating nature and this earth. He taught me that man is very very greedy and does not care who they step on to get to the top. It is important to put a end to this greed man has and to make people aware that this earth can not just keep giving because soon it will have no more for man to take. Mr.Leh tells us to enjoy nature and he is rite people need to stop and smell the flowers and be grateful of what God has given us.

I learned a person voice is the only thing that can get him threw life. People listen to people who know how to speak and fight with there words. I understand now that to get heard you must make yourself heard no one can do it for you no one can speak for you. Your words are so powerful if you can learn to use them right you can make a change.

Respect respect respect that's what I have for this earth and people Mr. Leh made me realize how I should treat people and how I should treat this earth and nature and wildlife. Mr .Leh likes taking pictures of nature with his camera. Since he showed me some of his awesome pictures I also have started taking pictures of nature although I'm not as experienced as him but its a cool hobby. I thank Mr. Leh for teaching me all I have learned and I will never forget any of it and I will share with people what I have learned.

I learned that I need to be aware of what going on the world and especially in my own country. I need to make a change in this world by voting and being involved in whats happening. Mr. Leh has taught me a lot of things and I will use them to get through life and through school. Well I just wanna say thanks Mr.Leh for everything.

Persuasive Essay

The subject of this persuasive essay I'm writing about is school uniforms. I personally no not agree with school uniforms because it hides who we students really are and we cant express ourselves. I do understand that there must be a set of regulations or rules to follow that you must abide by to dress appropriate for school. Most  students obey those rules so I don't see a real reason for the need of uniforms as long as students can accept the boundaries that are set for dress code.

Uniforms take away the one thing us young people have and that's our style. The way we show people who we are and what we are about is the way we dress. What do you accomplish by having uniforms? Ill tell you what you get students that rebel against the administration its pointless and every body looks the same witch means your telling us we are like each other. I don't see any connection  between uniforms and getting an education. So why is it a big deal? This is my theory the school board thinks by having us dress the same we the control the student body better because we are all supposed to be alike since we look alike and we will act alike or something. I no its a really stupid theory but honestly learning and how a person dresses does not effect the way there brain works. So why they choose to make student were uniforms is beyond me unless they do it to make the school look professional or something I don't know.

I do understand that uniforms have something to do with people being self conscious about there clothes and affording a certain brand of clothes that other kids have but uniforms cost money and are really expensive so the same problem would just appear in a different form. I do understand that and see there point of view but  that should not effect there school work. Any way school is not a fashion show place so who cares what kids where  as long as its appropriate let them be who they are. I speak for every student when I say uniforms destroy who we are and who we are becoming. We cant look like every one else then how do we become who we are if we  cant find out for ourselves.          

Letter To Obama

Dear President, Obama my name is Gabe Hernandez from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am sending you this letter to inform you about a problem I and every other person in the United States has. First of all I am for Obama but dislike the way you are approaching the disaster in the Gulf Of Mexico. You need to treat this matter how it is and fight back with all your power witch we all  know you have. You are the President Of The United States so its time to start acting like it and get this problem solved. I'm not telling you that your not doing your job rite because you've accomplished a lot and changed so much. Well here are some quotes that might help you out in this time of need.

Unique Essay

Whats special about me? What makes me stand out from the rest? Well I'm not to sure what makes me unique but I think I have an idea. Ive been unique since the day I was born 1993 on the 5th of June. I was born in the summer and on that particular day it snowed. Snowing in summer is not common in New Mexico despite our already weird weather. I think that was the start of me being unique.

Since then Ive been out shinning other kids in whatever I put my mind to. I think different then everybody else and I think that makes me get the advantage. I look ahead of time and look at all the possibilities and a lot of people don't do that witch makes unaware of stuff. I'm unique because I'm going to make a difference in this world and in the eyes of people. I'm going to show the people who put me down and the people who didn't believe I could do anything that I will be successful in life. Ive already started making a difference in people I have really good listening and speaking skills I am very caring and if your one of my homies ill be there for you any where any time no matter what. I'm very trusting and all about respect.

Why I think I'm going to make a difference in this world is because they way I talk. I can speak to people and get in there heads and help them to see what I am saying. I'm unique because I do my own thing. I don't follow crowds I lead them. I stand out from every one else because I'm myself I don't act like something I am not I'm real not a fake wanna be. I don't try impressing people try looking or acting cool. I just impress myself I guess I don't really care what people think cause it doesn't matter to me. The only thing that matters to me is that I make a difference and become something.    

How To Essay (make arrows)

In this essay I'm going to explain the best I can how to make standard shop arrows. Arrows have been around for thousands of years. The Roman Empire used arrows all armies used arrows back then. Native Americas used arrows for war and for hunting. Almost every race and place has the history used arrows to name a few Africa,South America,Europe,North America and that's just a few. Today's Archers have evolved and arrows are not just made of wood anymore we have carbon arrows and aluminum. The bows have really evolved from back then now some bows are made of types of metals called "compound bows" they are the more high tech bows. A lot of people still shoot bows made out of wood "Traditional bows" they are less of demand then the compound bows but are really fun to shoot.

First thing you need to know before making arrows is the what type of arrow you want to make. The come in Aluminum,Wood and most used is the Carbon arrows. Well we will to choose the most common arrow the carbon arrow.(1) First thing is to take your arrows of the manufactured package.( 2) Next is two get this type of material its kinda like sand paper and at the back of the arrow you just pretty much sand from the nock down about 6 inches.(3) After that get a paper towel and put a good amount of alcohol on it and whip down the end you just sanded.(4)Once that is done then put the arrows on whats called a "Jig" a machine that hold the arrows in place.(5)Now you choose the type and size and color of the feather or vanes you want to go on the arrows.(6) Next with the feathers or vanes you've chosen put them in whats called a 'Clamp" this clamp has a magnet on its side witch connects to the jig that holds the arrows.(7) On the clamp it has lines that measure how far you want the vane on your arrow this all depends on you but most people put there feathers on the third line.(8) After your done putting all the feathers in there clamps its time for the fun part gluing them to the arrows.(9)Take one clamp and place it in your left hand then get the special glue designed for arrow making and barely squeeze it and put glue along the piece of feather or vane that sticks out of the clamp make sure the glue is neat and not too much glue because this will cause problems.(10)Now you can set the clamp on the jig and push a little on the back of the jig to make sure the glue does its job.(11) Once your done doing that to all your arrows then I recommend waiting about 25 30 minutes for feathers arrows a little less for vanes before tuning the knob on the jig to do the other side of the arrow.(12) The last step is to enjoy what you have made and go out and hunt or for competition either way your sharing the history with past and future.
A crazy day is what I had yesterday.
Before I came to school something scared me.
Cats big ass cats chased me.
Down the road the cats chased me.
Every cat in the neighborhood was on a mission to get me.
Faster and faster I ran but the cats kept coming for me.
Go away I yell at them but it didn't work.
Half way to school running with all my heart cats still on my ass.
I jumped a fence to get them off my tail.
Jumping over 5 more fences I looked behind me and saw nothing.
knowing that cats are very smart I knew they couldnt be far behind.
Laying behind a tree to hide myself and stay out of sight.
Moments later cats in every direction came at me with the instinct to kill.
No one was there to help me I had to fend for myself.
On three I counted and then I ran as fast as I could.
Praying to god "please don let those cats get me!".
Quiet as a mouse I was so the didn't hear me run.
Running and running is all I could do never looking back.
Suddenly I stopped I didn't hear them anymore.
Time stood still as i listened to hear the cats running.
Unexpectedly cats came from the sky and attacked me.
Violently scratching and biting me.
With all my strength I tried to fight them off.
Xylophone was sitting there on the street so I grabbed it and fought them.
Zero cats were left after the battle I had over come them.

My New Identity

I'm a new person with a new name a new style new everything. Sure everyone wishes they could start over but if you could what would yo do? well Ill tell you what I would do in this 700 word essay ill explain the best I can of what my new life would be like.

If I were to move from Albuquerque to start over where would I go?  I would have to move Anchorage Alaska. Your probably thinking why the hell would you move there out of any place in the world. Well I am a very outdoors person even if I changed my identity I would still love the outdoors and Alaska is the best place for that experience. To be honest I don't know why I chose Anchorage. My older brother has been there many times and said its beautiful and plus that's the only place I know in Alaska. Anyway I would choose to live out in the wilderness in a cabin by a big lake.

My name would be Antonio Sanchez 25 years old born and raised in the heart of Alaska I make a living as a fisherman I would tell people. My background would be that my family all moved to New Mexico and I stayed here. I would be hiking everyday going fishing everyday and just enjoying being alive and enjoying my new identity. The cool thing about a new identity is that you can be what you couldn't in your past its like living in dream. You can make up your past and future by having a new identity and no one will know the truth of who you really are.

With my new identity I will act different, talk different, and look different. Ill be completely new person and I will make sure I do more things in life that I didn't in my past identity. I will live life to fullest and become the person Ive always wanted to be and more. I would be a better person and not take things serious. In my new life I will notice more things and not worry about all life's problems.

Murder Was The Case

As I sat there in the interrogation room bright lights in my face detectives asking hundreds of questions threatening me. I just sat there asking whats going how did I get here? What did I do? All I member is sitting in my room when SWAT and cops busted in through my house and slammed me to the floor and knocked me out. Next thing I know I wake up handcuffed to this chair with these detectives yelling at me!"Why did you do it!?" one of the detectives said. Well your probably confused so let me take you back 24 hours ago.

It was an early Friday mourning and I was running late for work. I worked at Mexican restaurant called and I was an hour late my shift was at 9:00 and I left the house at about 10:00. Rite when I walked through the I herd it from my boss " your late again dammit the food ain't going to cook its self get you ass in the kitchen!!" As my boss laughed at me the servers were laughing there asses off. They loved to see me get chewed out every time I came into work late which was pretty often.

Its was a regular day at work the place got packed as usual. I was the head cook so I was really busy making food. My best friend rich also worked in the kitchen with me. I had known rich since First grade and now we are almost 26 years old and still best friends. My and Rich had this game we played with the servers. We would tell the servers the wrong tables the food went too and watch the servers get yelled at. It was our way of passing time when the restaurant was slow.

The restaurant was busy as usual. When I finally had a chance to take my break Rich and me left outside to the back to have a smoke. As were in the back we see the owner of the restaurant sitting in his vehicle just sitting there looked like he was sleeping. The owner of the restaurant was a very powerful man he was a known gang leader and drug lord its hard to believe that because he was a very nice man and did not have appearance of a gang member or nothing. He dressed liked a business man all the time in black tux's and diamond rings and gold chains. No one really paid attention to all that though. Even know he had all his drug meetings in the restaurant.

As we were standing there we noticed that the owner never seemed to move in his truck so we went over there to see if he was OK. As we approached his vehicle we saw the passenger door was wide open and there was money all over the ground. My mind was blank I had no idea what was going on. I looked into the window and said "Mr Hernandez are you OK" and soon as I said that I saw him. Blood was every were and dripping down his face. I screamed "what the fuck!" I jumped back. Rich who was on the other side of the vehicle didn't know what I just had seen. So he came to the front and was as shocked I was. We looked at each other in shock not knowing if this was a dream or what. I said "should I check to see if he is OK"? Rich look at me and said " bro does it look like hes OK his fucking head is almost gone!" "I said I am checking anyway" I put my hand on his neck and check for a pulse but nothing. Rich said "lets go back inside and call the police". As we walked inside there was complete silence witch was odd. "I yelled why is no one working im gone for 10 min and this restaurant thinks it can take break or what!". But no one was in the kitchen. I was confused so I thought everyone might be out by the tables because the only way the kitchen is empty is when we have to sing for a birthday person. We walked out to the dinning area and what we saw shocked us both. Everyone that worked in the restaurant and everyone dinning at the restaurant had been lined up against the wall and been shot in a execution style. I dropped to me knees and Rich dropped to his. It was like within the 20 or 30 minutes Rich and I were gone just in the back of the building someone massacred everybody in the restaurant. It seemed as if whoever did this was looking for answers and obviously didn't get them. I could not handle it I was so in shock and scared I saw the owner of the restaurants brains all over his truck. I saw everyone I worked with dead and people I didn't know dead!

I got up and ran out the door. Rich started to chase me "Gabe were are you going!?" I didn't answer him just kept running. He finally gave up and stopped I kept going until I reached the river. I sat against the river thinking and thinking if this was a dream. Before I knew it It was almost dark I had spent hours just thinking. I walk all the way home from the river. I got home went for the liquor cabinet and grabbed the crown royal shot after shot after shot. As I sat in my room gazing at the ceiling fan going round and round I thought to myself "hey there you ceiling fan me and you are just alike we go round and round and end up in the same place no matter how fast or how slow we are traveling". As I finished comparing my life to a fan I was about to take another shot when all of a sudden BOOM! BOOM! and then people were in my house with guns and flashlights. Then I realized these were not just people but SWAT team and cops. One of the cops I hit me in the face with his assault rifle and knocked me out.

"I awoke were am I!". Then bright lights came on and and I saw them the detectives. "Why did you do it!?". "What was your motivation!?". "Who are you working with!?". "What are you talking about where am I?". "Don't play stupid with us!" "I'm only gonna ask this one more time". Why did you kill everyone at the Los Hernandez Restaurant including the owner!?. my jaw dropped I couldn't believe they were accusing me of that. "Bullshit!!!!" I said. I explained everything that happened at work to the detectives. The said it was a good alibi but I needed to prove it to them. I told them my best friend Rich would tell them what happened.

They told me Rich was no where to be found. They said he called the police and when the showed up at the crime scene he was no where to be found. The detectives said since they had no proof I did anything they said I could leave but they would be in contact. As I walked out the door of the building I herd someone say "don't let him go!" As soon as I herd that my best friend Rich pulled up in a truck I opened the door grinned at the detectives and we sped off heading for Mexico with the money we got from killing the owner. Yes it was me and Rich who killed the owner and everyone in the restaurant it was all our plan. The cops probably just found that out when I was leaving because me and Josh are part of the rival gang of the owner and are whole mission of working at the restaurant was to get close and kill the owner and in return we would get paid witch we did . Now we were on the run heading to are to life across the border. Murder was the case but we got away.

My Bucket List


 Today I am writing an essay about the 25 things I want to do before I die.  The way I will accomplish these tasks is by setting my mind to it and keeping my goals in site.

1)      Travel to Alaska to hunt.
2)      Travel to Africa to hunt.
3)      Travel all through the United States to hunt.  
4)      Fish in the ocean.
5)      Go scuba diving in the Ocean.
6)      Travel the world and experience new cultures and food.
7)      Bungee jump.
8)      Sky diving.
9)      Be successful in life.   
10  Live life to the fullest with no regrets.

I am a very outdoors person so anything that has to do with the wilderness is fun for me. My most sought after dream is to go to Alaska. I would want to go there because my brother has been there a couple times and it looks so beautiful and peaceful. I would also like to go there to hunt and fish. I like traveling to new places and trying new things but Alaska is the place I want to go the most.

Another place I would enjoy visiting is Africa. Africa's culture, history, scenery and is none like another place in the world. It would be awesome to go there and experience this exotic place. One reason I want to go there is to hunt. I have a couple friends who have been there and hunted some of Africa's majestic animals, and I too would like to experience that. I like to learn new things about other countries, but I think the best way to do that is to experience is first hand and go to that place.
Some crazy things I want to do before I kicked the bucket is sky dive, bungee jumping, scuba diving,. I think sky diving would be so awesome because you jump you of a plane and have to depend on the cloth and string to guide you to safety and that's probably the biggest and best adrenaline rush ever. I would wanna go bungee jumping just too do it because a lot of people are scared to do it .I would do it just to say Ive done it.
I would really like to go scuba diving and swim in the ocean. I think that would be so awesome to see the underwater world and see all the creatures that live there.

In order to do pretty much anything on this list you need to have money . I hope to become very successful in life so I can do all these things and more. I will exceed what people think I can do. I will become the best at  what I plan to do.

Avatar/Change.org





Today in summer school I was assigned to go to the web site Change.org and sign a petition and relate that problem to the movie Avatar. I chose to sign the petition telling President Obama to stop offshore oil drilling. This is important because looked what already happened to the oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. I can relate this to Avatar because it’s the same concept.

In Avatar the "humans" go to the planet Pandora and try taking over the natives land and are destroying it just to get a rock type substance to make them rich. Same thing from drilling in the ocean us humans went to the ocean and took over all the creatures’ homes in the water and destroyed it just too get rich and look what happen they messed up. Now the animals are paying for the consequence for mans stupidity. The sea creatures are dying and the ocean is dying just so some people could make money. Just like in Avatar there planet was not the humans to take over. The ocean is not ours they belong to the creatures that live in it. Humanity has really gone out of control. We came from trying to survive and helping each other too stepping on anyone just to get to the top. People need to wake up and realize that this world will run out of things to give then there will be no more man can take. In the movie Avatar the natives group up together and fight the humans gaining there land and resources back. In the gulf it’s a different story the animals cant fight back or do much of anything because there trying to survive and get away from the oil that has killed their homes.

I hope the petition I signed gets to the President so he can ban off shore drilling before another catastrophe accurse. This oil spill is just the begging of mans greed and one of many tragedies that will happen if something is not done to protect our earth from stupid people making stupid decisions. Only people can protect this world not animals not nature just people make designs. That’s why we are the dominate species on this planet but with being that we have responsibilities. We were given this world so we need to take care of it and make sure it will be here tomorrow.

We are the voice of the nature and the animals and everything on this planet it’s our job to keep them safe and protect them. The oil problem in the gulf is a reminder that things can go wrong and change in a second. Even know this problem could have been avoided. This is life and what life brings we just have to be ready for it. We can choose to be like the humans that choose to fight against their own kind and help the natives in the movie Avatar. We can stand up and do what’s right. With our voices we can change the world it’s up to us to speak out and make a difference.

My Scary Story

The story I’m about to tell you is true and scary. It was my freshmen year in high school I was 15. It was a Friday and I had just gotten out of school. I was at my sister’s house with my nephew who was 13 and five friends who were about the same age. My sister had let our friends come to her house so we could have a party. My sister was leaving to the club that night and before she left we told her we were bored and she said "well Ill teach you how to make A wigi board so you guys can play". We didn’t believe in that stupid shit but we were board so we decided to give it a try. So my sis made us the wigi board and before she left she said " don’t play it by yourself there has to be two people playing it and never ask it to do or show you anything just ask it questions that’s it".

After my sister had left my nephew and I were first up to play this game. We put our fingers on the little device that slides on the board I took a deep breath and asked it a question. I asked "Is anybody here" and as I finished saying that the piece we were touching slid across the board to the word YES. I figured my nephew was playing a trick with me because I did not move the piece. He said he did move the piece either but I knew he was lying or I thought he was lying anyway. We played the game for about 45 min and then everybody else wanted a turn so we finished and got off. When I took my fingers of the board I felt tired and weak and I was kind of shaking.

I went to the kitchen to grab something to eat cause I thought maybe I was feeling that way because I was Hungary. While me and my nephew were eating pizza in the kitchen the door by the laundry room the knob started to shake like if someone was trying to open it. The only thing is that door is used for storage and no one goes back there. My nephew went to the door and the handle was still shaking he grabbed it and opened the door. We looked into the room and we saw nothing just storage boxes and other junk stuff but we did notice it was really cold in that room. We figured it was just the wind and went back to eating our pizza. My nephew went to the living room after he was done eating to join the rest of the people who were playing the game.

I stayed in the kitchen eating food. Once I was done I was walking to the living room to see what every one was up to I stopped and looked at these Indian dolls that were in a glass cases. I stared at them and playing around I hit the glass and flipped them off. As I was walking away from the dolls I heard a thump. I turned around quickly and saw one of the dolls up against the glass as if it had fallen over or something. I didn’t pay attention to it because I thought it must have fallen when I hit the glass and took awhile to fall or something. I went to see what my friends were up too and they were all freaking out on the wigi board having a good time.

I laid on the couch and started texting people on my phone and as I was texting someone. I heard my nephew ask the game to show its self and do something for us. My friends starting getting all scared saying "your mom said not to ask it that stuff" I got off the couch laughing thinking nothing is going to happen. Then all of a sudden the front door swings open and shuts then swings open and shut again then stops. I jumped on the couch trying to kick out the window so I could get the fuck out of there. My nephew pulled me down and after everyone calmed down. I said "It was just the wind guys nothing else' But when we went to the front door it was locked! Now everyone was freaking out! How the hell did the door do that if the door was locked? Everyone started running around the house scared out of their minds.

After about 30 min I got everyone to calm down and we were in the living room. My nephew and everyone decided to get rid of the game. We ripped it up and threw it away. In the living room everyone was just watching TV and joking around and still wondering what had happened? Then all of a sudden we hear the bunk bed in the kids room shaking as if someone was jumping on it . It was strange because the kids were not ever there no one was in there room. We all rushed into the room to find nothing but a dark cold room. We had no explanation for that either the wind could not have shaking a bed. So were freaked out and then my nephew starts screaming and runs out the door. Of course if one person runs we all run. As we were running out the door into the hall way. The door for some weird reason starts closing by itself and hits me in the face. I fell back but now even more scared I jumped up and ran out the house and every one followed.

As we are outside my nephew claims he saw a small person or small creature standing in the closet and that’s why he screamed and started running. We waited outside until my sister came home like 2 hours later and told her what had happened. Knowing my sister she just laughed and said "told you so ha ha ha " Ever since then I never touched another wigi board. My nephew’s house was never the same after that they always herd noises and saw shadows until they finally moved. And that’s my scary true story.

Why Am I Here???


Why am I here? That a good question but it’s not asked very often by people. No one really thinks about that they just go with the flow of life never wondering why there here. Well I know exactly why I’m here and what my mission is in life. I was put on this earth to make a difference and to be successful. Since I was born my family knew I was destined to become something great. I was born on a snow day in the summer! New Mexico is known for the weird weather but snow in the summer is not something that is not common. Thats why my mom thinks am supossed to be something great. June 5 1993 was the day I came into this world. When I was lil I always was thinking ahead of others and saw things in different perspectives. "I can’t" were never words I spoke as a kid. If someone told me I couldn’t do something I would turn around and tell them "watch me". I was fearless and kind of stubborn. If I couldn’t figure something out then I wouldn’t rest until I had the answer. Most of the time I got myself in trouble with my curiosity because I would break the rules, but rules were meant to be broken or there wouldn’t even be rules in the first place. If a teacher told me I could not pass their class or say I was not "proficient" then I would do my best and pass that class and show that teacher that I can. I was always eager to learn new things and to try new things.

I Am Poem


I am a strong person both mentally and physically.
I wonder about life.
I hear the voice of life telling me its secrets.
I see myself later on in life very successful.
I want travel the world and live life to the fullest.
I am a strong person mentally and physically.
I pretend that life gets better when it seems to get worse.
I feel the pain my family goes through.
I touch the oceans and the lands all over this world.
I worry that life is too short.
I cry for nothing.
I am a strong person both mentally and physically.
I understand that life has its ups and its downs.
I say live life to the fullest with no regrets.
I dream of the day I can travel this world.
I try to go through with life without getting in trouble.
I hope to live for a long time to enjoy this world.
I am a strong person both mentally and physically.

The Oil Spill

Its was an early march morning and I the Ocean was warming my waters from the early morning sun and all the creatures I housed were out and about enjoying life as they did every day. When I awoke This day I had a feeling the something was going to happen. I knew no huricanes or storms were goin to happen but still I felt like something big was coming. I talked to the wise creatures of my waters and they also could feel something was goin to happen. We asked the creatures of the sky and they too felt something was on its way. We talked among eachother for awhile and realized none of the creatures of this world could tell what ws goin to happen. We decided the humans must be doin something with all there technology and tools. We all decieded to give up and just wait and see what cool things the humans were up too. Later that day as I was thinking about this feeling I had. All of a sudden I feel a rumble in my stomache and then pain and more pain and before I know it all the water creatures are swimming away and going crazy. Then I look and this blackish stuff coming up from the bottom of my seas. I see the birds of the sky telling my that the oil rig the humans have been working on has exploded. They told my to leave. I told them I could not leave its my resposiblity to take care of the creatures in my waters. I was the oil spill and I tried making large waves to get my friends to safty but the more I tried the more I was weakening the black fluid was killing me. I decided to stay with my ocean friends till the end and if they die then I too die. As as the black oil started to take over me and the animals in my waters. I woundered why the humans would do such a thing to us. They have everything and yet they take and take and never give. Yes they are the dominate species on this planet but that comes with responsibility. In order to take you must give and the humans dont understand that. I see them in there boats trying to clean up the mess they made they have put alot of money into cleaning me up but it would have taken alot less to insure that this didnt happen in the first place. So as I die here with all my ocean creatures and sky creatures I hope the humans learn from this and not make this mistake again because next time this earth may not be so forgiving.
