This Weekend Post- Journal Topic 11

I really want to learn how to work on cars because I love cars, welding and construction. I really want to learn how to weld because it would help me with cars and construction would help me see the build of cars and see what goes in to making a car. Construction would also help me if something broke in my house I would be able to fix it myself and not call someone to fix it.

Just speaking from experience I was getting bulled  for a long time until I wrote a full paper worth of things they did  in that  month maybe it was just a week worth but it felt like a month and wrote they're names on the paper as well. Once I did that it just got  worse for me like I know it would . Until they really messed me up that's when  they barley started to do  something nothing major but it was something. It started to stop when I started to push back . I had to get boxing classes because it was that bad. I guess it went away when they went to a different school.
