Self Harm
I've decided to write my research paper on self harm, because I believe self harm is overlooked. Many people don't often see the danger associated with self harm.

Hello!
I am sending you a student's Prezi over _Stargirl_; please note that there are some typos throughout the presentation. However, this presentation is good in that there have been quite a few nice selected quotes that go along with theme topics. You may use this link to help you find a quote from _Stargirl_ to go with your theme. Of course, the books will be available to you as well. See here: http://prezi.com/ k50scsz4zh6e/themes-stargirl- novel-project/
Thanks!

My Spring Break
My Spring break was just staying at home. I did go over to some friends houses and played basketball and just hung out. But I also had baseball practice and I have fun there. But otherwise I just stayed at home and layed around the house. I also watched T.V, played video games, and played on the computer. On the computer i watched youtube videos and played computer games. Also I had easter with my family and got lots of candy.

This spring break I had a volleyball tournament on Saturday in Springville. I spent most of the week with Carli. She spent the night at my house and we went on the trampoline, had an Easter egg hunt, played around downstairs, and we walked all the way to Wilkins when it was dark out. I spent the night at her house and we watched a really scary movie, we skyped poeple, talked on the phone, and i went to prom in the middle of the night. We watched " The Orphanage " and it was kind of hard to understand because it was all in a different language but it was still really creepy. On Saturday i went to my aunts and hungout with my cousins. We made a bonfire and grilled out. On Easter i went to my grandmas and saw my baby cousin for the first one thats only a couple months old. We had lunch and then we went home. I got home and had dinner with my dads side of the family and then colored eggs and went on a walk and then everybody went home.
