Senioritis

Well you see there this thing that happens to everybody when they are seniors. They tend to get senioritis. They procrastinate everything and tend to not show up to school. I have missed more days this year than I have any other school year. I usually turn my work in on time, but not anymore I haven't turned any work in on time in a long time. I have to get back on the ball and get my work turned in or they just could possibly fail me and make me come back again next year. That would be bad for me and the teachers because im sure the teachers are ready for me to leave haha. I have a tendency to get on teachers nerves. I am almost positive that my shop teachers are ready for me to graduate because i have five shop classes thats where i spend my whole day everyday. In the end im sure everything will work out and everybody including me will be happy when i walk across the stage and pick up my diploma.

Innocent

I would tell them that they are stupid because there are no such things as witches. To prove it i would show them that there is no way that anybody could fly or curse other people. If they still insist on hanging people because they continue to think they are witches then id hope that God would take mercy on their souls.

Baby Sam is Lucky

Tiffnie had a completely normal pregnancy. In fact, she told NBC News in a prerecorded segment, “I enjoyed every minute of it.”

Near the end of her pregnancy, Tiffnie Esquibel started to get very big, and her obstetrician suggested inducing birth. Tiffnie decided against the procedure, but a week later went in for a routine ultrasound scan to make sure everything was still fine.

Her doctor told her there was something wrong. What appeared to be a tumor had appeared in the baby’s brain. Whether it was cancerous or not could not be determined until Sam was born, and the doctor advised inducing labor immediately. Tiffnie agreed, and after four hours of labor delivered Sam.

‘Get him baptized’
On Oct. 2, Tiffnie and her husband, Manny, got the news no parent wants to hear: Their newborn son had a large tumor in his brain. A neurosurgeon asked them if they were religious. When they told him they were Roman Catholics, he advised them to get Sam baptized immediately.

The Esquibels had waited what seemed like forever for a child, and now that they had a son, they were being told he might not survive.

TODAY Tests showed a large mass inside baby Sam Esquibel’s brain.

“That was the toughest part that I went through — when they started saying, ‘You might want to get your son baptized.’ That was very hard to take,” Manny Esquibel told Lauer.

Sam was transferred to the pediatric center at the Memorial Hospital for Children in Colorado Springs On Oct. 3, neurosurgeon Dr. Paul Grabb led a team that operated on Sam’s brain to remove the tumor. When he opened the tumor, a tiny, perfectly formed foot popped out.

“A lot of us who have been in practice long enough like to think we’ve seen everything,” Grabb told NBC News. “Well, we haven’t. The foot quite literally popped out of the tumor. I stopped operating, since I’m not used to seeing a foot in the brain.”

One for the books
After going back to work, Grabb removed the tumor, which was found to contain other partially formed body parts, including a thigh and a hand. The tumor would prove to be noncancerous, and monthly tests on Sam have shown that it is not growing back.

When Grabb came out of surgery, he and other members of the surgical team told the Esquibels what he had found.

“They just looked at us and said, ‘It’s just remarkable. It’s for the books what we found,’ ” Tiffnie Esquibel said. “We were stunned. We didn’t know what to think when they told us what they found.”

What makes them think of Sam as a miracle is that if Tiffnie had agreed to induced labor a week earlier, the final ultrasound would not have been taken and the tumor would not have been discovered.

If that had happened, it could have continued to grow, and either killed or severely damaged Sam.

Rare or rarer
Dr. Nancy Snyderman, chief medical editor for NBC News, joined the Esquibels with Lauer and said that the tumor could be one of two rare birth conditions. The first and more common is a teratoma, which is a mass that contains various incompletely formed body parts that may include hair and teeth.

“I’ve seen quite a few teratomas in my life, in the neck, in the chest, in the abdomen,” Snyderman said. “Never one in the brain.”

She said that the other condition, of which fewer than 100 have ever been reported in the world, is called fetus in fetu. The term literally means “fetus in fetus” and occurs when one twin engulfs the other in the womb. The engulfed twin feeds off the other as a sort of parasite and continues to grow and develop. Unless removed, it usually proves fatal.

Doctors who have reviewed Sam’s case tend to think the tumor was a teratoma. Snyderman said that Sam will surely become a case study in a little-understood medical phenomenon.

At present Sam tends to fix his gaze toward the right side of his head, where the tumor was. He is undergoing physical therapy for that and is improving steadily. Other than that, he shows no effects from the tumor.

Whatever medical science calls him, Sam’s parents will always see him as their miracle baby.

“He’s turned our life around,” Manny Esquibel told Lauer. “That’s for sure.”

Through the eyes of a dog

If i was a dog i would want to be my dog bugs. Bugs is a mutt. I would lay around the yard and sleep all day and when B would come and try to play with me i would just chill like i always do. When night time comes i will roam around town and check out the scenery. My favorite thing to do is being let in the house when its cold. My owner lets me come inside and stay most of the day. At night he lets me out but its ok that is when i have to roam around town i have a schedule. Most everybody thinks i'm a depressed dog but im not really i just never want to play. I have feelings like i get mad when B bites me to hard or plays to rough but other than that i really don't mind alot of things

In my room 101 there would be a electric chair. It wouldn't be powerful enough to kill you it will just torture you. I hate being shocked by any thing whether its a little static shock it makes me mad. I usually get shocked a few times when im hooking up a system in somebodies car or truck. So being in a electric chair would make me confess almost anything.

Well as you all know i really hate cats. I can't stand them. So i decided to put the picture of this cat on here to tell you about the filthy animal that lives at my house. Well it all started off with just one cat. It turned out to be a female cat. Well it soon started having litters of kittens four times every year. My house is crawling with them filthy creatures. I hate cats we would have been just fine without them in the world they disgust me. I now have two dogs and about three cats left. My dogs run the cats away but no matter what they do they cannot run off the these three cats. It frustrates me i hate the cats they are annoying when they purr and when they rub on you
