Do you have an opinion? Your letters 10-10
Dear Rina,
You were a darling to speak to us Allen Seniors at “the drop of a hat”!
Excuse me, are you listening? 10-10
Dear Readers,
During the year, I visit plenty of students. 2011 has been especially important to me. Personally, I love people and I want to know what “the little people” (anyone still in school and under the age of 18) are thinking. It is very difficult to talk to your own children because they are not giving you the whole story. However, when you talk to other children, they seem to be so impressed that you at least care enough to ask about them

By Frank S. WashingtonDETROIT, MI – I test drove a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4X4 over a weekend and I was really impressed by what it didn’t have.
There were no leather seats. They weren’t heated or cooled either. There was no navigation system, no sun roof and no Bluetooth. What I had was what seemed to be a base model Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo without a lot of equipment. And that’s what I found impressive.

Walt Disney put it best with the line,
“For who could ever learn to love a Beast?”
But someone did love the Beast. That someone tamed him and showed him all the great things about himself and made him realize that being a Beast did not define WHO he was. It was just a condition under which he lived his life. Once he accepted this, his entire life changed.

A Grand River of Miracles
LANSING, MI — On the night Rasha and Vontresse Thomas got in their car with their 8 month old daughter Jaida, they were doing what any responsible couple would do, preparing themselves for a smooth ride in the morning. Rasha was starting a new job and they wanted to make sure he knew exactly where it was. They had no idea that a simple trip on April 7, 2004, would change their lives forever.
A few hours earlier, Vontresse went to see a passion play at a local church with 
her friend, Michelle King. A passion play is about the suffering, passion, death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter was right around the corner and the Thomas family was preparing themselves for a joyous time. Spirits were high because of Rasha’s new job and Easter would provide more time for them to spend at church and with extended family and friends.
