WHEN I THINK OF LIP

DeOnte Rawlings, also known as LIP, was a 14 year old boy who was killed by the police for some petty stuff. In 50 years he would have been 64, and he would have wanted a lot of stuff. But the police took it away from him, a smart funny little guy with a lot of energy and talent. He was from Wahler Place. To the police: I hate them for LIP and a lot of other things too. The police have been doing stuff like this for years. LIP was my lil brother and I love him to death. Everyday I wish to see him but I know that I’m not going to see him. In 57 years he probably would have still been with me and the rest of our crew. Old as dirt smoking some …… if you know what that is.
L is for boots loves
I is for intelligent
P is petty a** police

stop the BEEF

In 50 years, I will be 65 years old. I will be retired and living in Jamaica. I think there will be more violence I think there will still be wars and that certain areas in DC will undergo changes that will force their conditions to worsen. For instance, different areas in DC will get ‘dirtier’ referring to drugs and violence.

Now we are faced with issues such as HIV/AIDS, gun violence, police brutality, drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness, and global warming. If these problems persist the world will end up “a big mess,” meaning that everything will only get worse. If these problems persisted, I would feel bad for the people that didn’t get the help they needed and I would feel some sort of self-pity for myself because I didn’t do anything to try and change the situations at hand. In order to begin to make a change, we should stop the BEEF which will bring a decrease in unnecessary violence, and recycle more to preserve our ozone layer. These changes should begin now because there are so many kids dying which results in demise in future prosperity and economic growth for our world.

BOOTS' LIFE

Hi my name is Boots and I’am 16 years old. But in 50 years I will be 66 what I’ll probably be doing is chillin. Maybe thinking that I’m 16 again. I’ll be living on WAHLER PLACE SE. What I want is 3 children and to work for metro like my mommy. Right now I’m just chillin still thinking about the police and their ways. They have some wrong ways. If you read my blog from the last time then you understand where I’m coming from.

The world probably look really really different in the year 2057. It will look different because they are changing a lot of things today. But the streets will always be the same. In 57 years the world would probably have gone crazy, crazy like what don’t ask me cause its crazy now.

50 years from now..

In 50 years I will be 66 years old. I will be living in Maryland, and working as a firefighter. The world will become a worse place to live in. In the year 2057 D.C will be empty and dirty. If none of these community concerns are addressed more people will become infected with HIV, and more people will be dying from it. The neighborhoods will be dirty and the water will still be polluted. More people will be getting shot or will be dead. There will be more alcoholics and addicts with messed up lives. There will be more homeless people living on the streets. This is not a world that I would want to live in. In order to make the world better there needs to be more funding for HIV/ AIDS research. People need to make an effort to help clean up the environment. There needs to be laws passed to stop people from selling guns. Stores need to stop selling alcohol and people need to stop selling drugs. There needs to be more shelters for homeless people. I think that all this should happen as soon as possible, so we can save more people lives.

Dimitrious in 50 years

In 50 years I will be 63 years old. Hopefully I will live in Washington, D.C. In the 43 years after I turn 20, I would like to play in the N.F.L, and when I retire I would invest my money. The one thing I want to stay the same is me and my family. In 2057 the world will be more hi-tech. There will be bigger T.V, and more realistic games.I want the world to be cleaner and safer to walk around. I think the world will have to get rid of guns or violence, and drugs also. If none of these are followed the world would look dirtier and unsafe. I will feel safer if these rules are followed. I think these actions should be followed now in order to keep our community clean and safe.

50 years from now

In 50 years from now I will be 66 living in a big house me and my husband watching our grandbabies grow up. Some things will be the same as always, but some things will change. The streets will always be the same. But, I wish the killing the drugs, the violence, the everything, was gone. And, I think the world will probably look pretty different. All the projects will be out, they will have built new schools and new office buildings. They will hire teenagers, so kids will be able to get jobs. I hope the population of people with AIDS will be lower. I hope people will stop having unprotected sex, and having babies and stuff. I will feel good if all of that changes.

If that stuff doesn’t change, I will feel the same as I do now. Now I feel okay because I have hope for the future. I hope my kids will grow up in a better world, and will grow up to be better than me. Sometimes, I still do bad stuff but I still focus. See I’m street smart, a little school smart, but I try my hardest in school too.

The World According to Mark

50 years from now, I will be 65 years old. I will be living in D.C., retired from playing football. I got a scholarship to play in college at the University of Delaware. I played running back, and won the Heisman Trophy. The world is still pretty much the same as it was 50 years ago. I have stayed in Trinidad, in the same house, but I am now master of the house with a wife who is 67 (I married an older woman) and two kids. My oldest son is 50 years old, and my youngest is 43. The neighborhood still looks like Trinidad, and DC looks like DC. I have had a great life, because I won the Heisman trophy BIG GUY!!!!!!!
