I am

an 8th Grader in Mr. Allison's New Journalism class at East Bronx Academy for the Future.I 'am a cool person I could get kind of annoying sometimes. I like to spend time with my family. I 'am an 8th grader that has goals and my goals are to finish all my grades and graduate from college and get a good job to help my mom.I want my parents to be real proud of me.
Things I like in school is to make friends and hangout with friends. I don't have a favorite subject but i will prefer English class better than math class I am not all that good at math but i do try. I do way better in English class.
Things I like outside of school is to spend time with family and friends.I have so much family members but that sometimes we all don't fit in one place but lucky for us me and my aunt lives in the same building so when we do parties all we do is use both apartments mines and my aunts.I have three brothers and 8 nephews 1 niece i don't see them much but when i do we have a blast together even though they are way younger than me i make the best out of me and my nephews and niece to have fun.Also when am with my brother i have so much fun they are older than me i don't see them much but they always there for me like big brothers they are.

Darfur

Darfur and lots of people are dieing.30 thousand people have been displayed.Theres peace keepers that are protecting the people in Dafur.Since 2003 there has been lots of violence.1.5 billion people have been driven from their homes and 20,000 people have deid.

“In the meantime, more than 2m people are living in camps after fleeing more than four years of fighting in the region and they are vulnerable without peacekeepers.” I think this is an important quote because it is telling me how people have to live in camps because of the fighting in Darfur.

“The conflict began in the arid and impoverished region early in 2003 after a rebel group began attacking government targets, saying the region was being neglected by Khartoum.” This is an important quote becuase it tells me when the conflict started and how it started.

“Darfur, which means land of the Fur, has faced many years of tension over land and grazing rights between the mostly nomadic Arabs, and farmers from the Fur, Massaleet and Zagawa communities.” This quote tells me the things that Darfur has faced and what does Darfur means.

In Darfur people are getting burned I picked this image becuase it represents how are people living over at Darfur.
