Parkway West Health Fair

April 12, 2012 Parkway West held a Health fair. The health fair was informing people on what ways you can help keep your body healthy. One of the ways the health fair provided us with info is buy handing out panflicts that basically include the following things you should and shouldnt do to keep your body healthy. One of the most interesting topics to me was the drugs and sports. This was basically talking about why people should not do drugs while playing sports because in can take away big advantages from you. I thought this was very interesting because i can name a couple of people that love to play sports but can use drugs here and there. When i asked Sophmore Darion he said "I dont really like sports but the athleetes should really pay attention to this because it can hurt them and there future careers." Another thing that seemed to catch my attention was the condoms and lubricators that were given out at the health fair. The lady that was sitting behind the desk said that this is very important because it can stop pregnancies and safe sex is a very good way to help. A lot of people laughed at the fact that condoms were there and they seemed to want alot
(which can be a somewhat of a good thing), but the whole thing was to make sure that teens are having safe sex and they can stop pregnancies. This health fair was very interesting and i hope they do it again next year!

Trayvon Martin

One month ago a teenager was murdered by the neighborhood watchman because of nothing. Trayvon Martin, the victim, died on the spot and ever since people reactions to it has caused this story to be world-wide. The name of the person who killed young Martin was named George Zimmerman. George was known to be somewhat of a racist person and he always had something against blacks. When George was in court he was not convicted because a lot of proof was not found. I dont understand if someone is killed, people witness it, and you dont have enough proof from that, then the government is screwed up big time. I think that George should be arrested immediately. Every time people ask questions about Trayvon to George he has a different story for every person. George claims that Trayvon attacked the him and that what caused him to retaliate the way he did. Now to me he should be arrested immediatley because he just admitted his crime. People seem to find all the wrong things about people that makes the bad person seem so innocent. Files of Trayvon Martin was pulled up showing that he was not one of the bet kids in school. The files shown that Martin was suspended, always in detention, and getting alot of complaints. My thing is why look up the past, just because he had problems in school does not mean that he was doing something wrong that specific night. Why believe the killer? What is so special about the killers stories? Are people really saying that Trayvon Martins death was what he deserved? I cant believe the world i live in today!
