Family Story

When I was maybe 2 years old, my parents and I moved into our new house in Staten Island. We had recently moved from our apartment in Brooklyn and I wasn't used to having stairs going up and down in the house. I wanted to climb up them in the worst way but my mom wouldn't let me because she was afraid I was going to get hurt. So, as a result of not being able to go up the stairs, I got mad and walked over to my dad on the couch. He was lying down so I took out my anger on him and slapped his face. My parents were hysterical laughing.

Pan's Advisory Helps Diabetes

On Friday my advisory decided we needed a fundraiser. We were the only advisory that wasn't collecting money for a cause or disease so we decided to collect money for Diabetes awareness. One of the students in my advisory went around the class with an envelope to collect a couple of dollars from each student. I thought this was a great idea because, for example Ms. Pepe's advisory is collecting money for Breast Cancer by persuading students to buy a bear or ribbon. The money will then contribute to Breast Cancer and help many women in need. I know a few people who have diabetes and I know the affect if they have to much sugar in their system. So, maybe by collecting this money we can help them live a better life. I hope our fundraiser for Diabetes will help these people in need and have a healthier life. And maybe we might give out ribbons for diabetes since next month, November, is diabetes month.
