School is coming to an abrupt end. It is an exciting as well as stressful time in my life. It is stressful because I know that reality and the real world is coming fast. It is exciting because its my last year to be in high school and I know I have plenty to look forward to. Some things I will miss and some things I won't. I will miss the every day going to school and being surrounded by my friends. I won't miss sitting in a classroom all day. I am on colorguard at Ea and I take pride in my school at its functions. I will miss performing in front of the big crowds and my family there to cheer me on for all of my events. The scariest part of leaving high school is the enviroment that you are leaving and going into. You won't have your parents to make all of your decisions for you and the same routine every day.I want so bad to be on my own now but I know when its all said in done I will wish to be back in high school once again. East Ascension has played a big role in my life as far as growing up and teaching me what I need to know in life.

Murder is the unlawfully killing of one human by another. Life is a precious gift and people do to have the power to take it away from others. Murder occurs around the world and nobody has conviction about it. Murder is wrong because it is not up to humans to decide who lives and dies. Everybody has the right to live.

It has confused many that the crime rate has decreased and the murder rate has increased in Louisiana alone. Baton Rouge is ranked the 328th safest city in America according to The Most Dangerous Cities in America rankings (Specht). This proves that murder just in our state is high and doesn’t stop. People that commit murders and take the lives of others do not feel bad about it. This is shown through the media and television. Serial killers that have been arrested do not feel bad about what they have done but that they got caught. An example of one would be Derrick Todd Lee. He was the Baton Rouge serial killer of 2002 that made big news coverage.

Murders that are committed are done every day by normal people. People commit murders like they have the power to do so. We have a higher power and that is God. God created the earth and everything that inhabits it. By taking the lives of others you are stating that you have the power to do so. That is over reigning the most powerful thing there is, God. He wrote The Ten Commandments for his people to abide by. The 6th commandment states thou shall not kill. By murdering you are breaking God’s law and sinning against him.

In conclusion, any persons who shall commit murder are not just breaking the Law, but are also breaking the rules of God. Everybody has their own opinions of murder and death but ultimately it is God’s decision.
