Blogging is the one of the best club I went to. I like blogging because it talks about mostly everything. What I like about the blogging is that you can express your feelings. I did not know that blogging had its own website and I have my own essay about homeless teens. My group is Tayonna, Rachel, and I our working on homeless teens and spirituality. Then we went on a trip. The trip was so fun we went to the soup kitchen. The soup kitchen was about when you have no food or no food stamps you can go to there. The food is free. That’s so cool because never in my life I saw free food. Mr. Anthony Butler is in charge of the soup kitchen. I like in the soup kitchen is that Mr. Butler told me that if you need a check up or anything. That’s really good because these people need help. Just in case you were sick and you don’t have anything to treat it you can go to the room where they give you pills to treat it or cure it. That’s one thing I like about the soup kitchen.

What I liked about blogging class
Rachel
I really liked my blog class. Although I wasn’t in class for the whole time, I still enjoyed the classes that I attended. What made my whole blog experience fun was that I had personal experiences with homeless teens and I truly wanted to learn more about how teens have survived through it all and how and if their religion was a big part of that. I thank my blog teachers for letting me attend the work in the soup kitchen and I enjoyed it all. I liked going to the soup kitchen very much and it was a great experience. We helped out so many people by serving people and cleaning up. To my surprise the food was actually pretty good. The pie was my favorite.
Otherwise, my classes were rather interesting. We got to choose a topic and make a blog about it. We would later post the blog on blogger.com. My partner was Tayonna. We wrote about homeless teens and spirituality. Tayonna and I have many personal experiences with homeless teens and how their religion would guide and help them while they are homeless. All in all, I found my topic great and very interesting. I learned a lot while I researched and wrote. I like the fact that I was able to do all that I have done. I have blogged and posted them on websites and I can’t really get the chance to do that at home. I learned a lot from my research on homeless teens. Most of them are girls and the majority of them or were pregnant that their parent did not want them anymore. Meaning they were kicked out of their house.In 2009, I would love to continue this class. I just don’t know if I would be able to because of my math tutoring at 3:00. If there happens to be no tutoring, I will try to catch up and continue on what I was doing. I would love to write a topic and be able to take pictures. I want to be a photographer and for that to be part of my experience would be awesome!

My experience
Tayonna
My blogging class experience has been great. My favorite thing here was going on the trip to a soup kitchen with Rachel, Stephanie, Charles, and Taino. For the first time it was fun doing the dishes. The food was good too. The information in that I learned was that most teenagers that are homeless are mostly females, because Rachel, Charles, and my topic were homeless teens and spirituality.
When I come back to blogging in 2009 I want to learn is pod-casting, photography, and how to make a video blogs. The thing that made blogging fun was the people. We also put up a blog on blogger.com and it was fun putting up my first blog.

How can we stop the poverty that leads to homelessness?
Hi I’m in the 7th grade and I picked homeless teens and spirituality because in my neighborhood there is a lot of poverty. My father works at a school where there are a lot of poor teens. One day my father told me about one of the students at his school a 12yr old girl that lives on streets. He notice that there was something weird she had ripped jeans, no jacket, and very skinny. So he brought her food and helped her.
I felt so bad when I heard about her because I heard that people are poor but I never knew that a 12 year old is and shes still young. I was very concerned but happy that my dad was helping her. I hope to learn how do teens survive and how can I help.

Schools NEED to pay attention to homeless teens
An interesting fact is that most teens go to school and try to act normal so that people won’t know that they are homeless and also they run away because there parents don’t want them, abuse, or other issues. It is important, stands out to me, and it connects to my topic because homeless teens shouldn't be hiding things as serious as this is. They should at least go to a shelter or go to an adult that they trust, a teacher or guidance consular, and ask them for help.

It makes me feel sad knowing that they are going through these things. If I were in their shoes I would feel scared as much as they do. I feel that schools should pay more attention to the students, by how the act, dress, talk and other things because that reflects what’s going in on in there environment when they leave the schools. For example the school should have a class for children to talk about their feelings and their problems in school and out of school. The fact that teens try to hide their homelessness makes me think differently about my topic because I want to know how do they live with this and how most of the people survive on the streets.

Welcome to Our Blog about Homeless Teens
I am a 7th grade student and I chose the topic homeless teens because I feel that people should know about them. I think that they should know because most people in this world don't really care about what's happening to them.
I have noticed that some of the homeless teens believe in God and most don’t, which reminds me of a story of a teen my Youth Night director told us. A long time ago at my church, when there was a different pastor, there were teens coming to my church. One who was about 17 years old, decided to become homeless in the subway and that’s where he died.
I’ve noticed that many homeless teens that believe in God have someone to talk to, but the ones who don’t believe in God don’t have anyone to talk to. What I would want to know is why teenagers, like the one I just mentioned, decide to become homeless. I also want to know how believing in God helps them.

Introduction of Homeless Teens and Spirituallity
Im in the 7th grade and I picked homeless teens and spirituality because this topic is very important to me. I have seen many teens on the street and I happen to be a friend with a kid who used to be homeless. I also believe that spirituality matters very much if you are homeless.
In the process I want to learn about ways we can help those people who are homeless. Especially to help the people who have no belief in God. I think not having a belief makes it harder to be alone on the street because you have no one to turn to and ask for help and guidance.
