Remember what you HAD !

I recently realized how precious life really is. Your life can be taken in the matter of seconds and most people do not realize that. It really bothers me how some people take life as a joke. This past weekend my boyfriend was in a very bad car accident he fractured his knee even worse than it was already fractured he had an concussion and could barely walk after that terrible incident the next night he decided to go out rather than staying in bed in letting himself heal. when he went out with his friends that night they went to a nightclub and since this night his life will never be the same. in the night club him and his friends got into an altercation with some other men in the nightclub which lead to him and the others getting jumped very badly. he know wont be able to walk for up to 6 months and he is not even guaranteed that he will be able to walk then. he has bruises everywhere on his body both of his eyes are black his knee is even worse. from this it made us both realize that life is nothing to play. because of this we don't know if he will be able to finish his college basketball career. he took life for a joke and he is now dealing with the consequences of not being able to do the thing he loves most basketball !

The Long Lost Apostrophe

Those poor, lost, lonely apostrophes: 

You see them everywhere, looking for love in all the wrong places. Nearly every day, I see another apostrophe being abused or misused, far from where it belongs.They mean very different things. You can't put question marks where exclamation points go, or vice versa. Punctuation helps us make sense. Yet many people use apostrophes where they don't belong, and forget them where they DO belong. English is confusing enough without random apostrophes wandering around! Just like exclamation points and question marks, apostrophes change the meaning of a sentence, depending on where they are used.

Broken English

After reading the passage Mother Tongue by Amy Tan; I feel as if I can truly relate to her in some ways. I spent most of my life with my grandmother she practically raised me. People classified her as having "broken" English as people did to Amy's mother; although they were a totally different nationality, my grandmother never finished school so she doesn't know all the rules of the English world. She will say things like "turn on the zinc , and wash them dern dishes", however when I correct she always tells me she loves the way she talks and I should stop trying to correct her. I just hate when she talks likes this in public and others stare and laugh at her, I'm not embarrassed by it at all, i just feel like everyone judges her because she doesn't speak the correct way. To this day I'm still learning to deal with and accept that , that is just how she speaks.
