My story about ALS
A few months ago, my uncle Jimmy was diagnosed with ALS. ALS
or "Lou Gehrig's Disease" attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal
cord resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy. It doesn't just go away. It is not
contagious, but it is fatal. He cant talk very long without being out of breath
and it is very hard for him to walk around on his own. There is not a
cure or treatment today that stops or reverses ALS, but there is one FDA
approved drug that modestly slows the progression of ALS. My family and I are
having a rough time dealing with the fact that one day, he may not be with us
anymore. For me, I am having a very hard time dealing with it, because to me he is slowly dying from the inside out... I really wish that this disease did not exist!
Other facts you should know about ALS
- It can strike anyone
- The treatment for ALS consists of one drug called "Riluzole"
- About 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year
- There can be significant costs for medical care
- The life expectancy of an ALS patient averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis

My Life...
Have you ever thought your life was falling apart? If you have, you know how I feel. Things aren't going great. My uncle has a rare sickness and it's deadly. He is slowly dying from the inside out. He is constantly losing weight, out of breath, and cant talk much. It is very hard for me to see him like this. I don't tell many people, because I don't want attention. I had to just get things off my chest and tell people why I have been so down lately. It kind of gets tiring telling everyone what is going on so I figured I should just post something so everyone will know whats going on...

Eighth Grade Dessert Dance Theme...
Why do I want Neverland as the theme for my classes dessert dance? I want Neverland as our either grade dessert dance theme because i think that it would be cool to see all the twinkly lights and fun decorations. I picture this dance to be filled with things of nature such as; a bunch of sparkly lights all around, trees, and stars on the ceiling. The photo booth would have a bench to sit on and stars dangling down from the ceiling,trees and clouds in the background. It would be amazing! In my opinion,The other two themes are okay, but they aren't exactly what you would picture when you think of a dress up, dessert dance. When I think of a dessert dance, I think of something formal and pretty. To make this night special for my class, I would contribute my time and effort to make Neverland the best eighth grade dessert dance in the history of the dessert dances. Dont make the wrong choice and vote for something else. So please lean twoard Neverland, and don't ruin it for others by choosing something like zombies, or cats and dogs. Thanks(:
