Who is the hero?

One person I see as a hero is my mother because she has done so much and gave up a lot of things for my brother and I. She would go a day without eating to feed my brother and I and she always said we would have a better life soon. She was right because throughout the years we progressed and she grew into a better person and showing us we can be whatever we dream to be and that nothing can stop us because nothing stopped her to get us where we are today as my brother is a hard working 21 year old and I’m a hard working 17 year old, going to school and not doing things I shouldn’t be doing.

My mother has done so much to get to where she is at today because she never stopped believing we would make it to where we are today and she never lost hope in the belief nor did she stop striving to keep that hope alive. She has been through a lot and i can’t thank her enough for everything she sacrificed for my brother and I and that how much she has been through for us and how she never gave up! Now I call that a hero!

Prom from a Teen

 

Prom is a night to remember for people all around but others think twice as some wanna go to prom for after parties or dinner or other activities after prom. Some do go to prom for the music and the dance but also to simply relax and have a good time with a date or group of friends they might go with.During prom a lot of dancing takes place with talking and the great music they start to play. All proms at least have one slow song or more then one but also there is something special about prom a lot of students, that are seniors, look forward to such as, Prom King, Prom Queen, and also best dressed

Most responses from students that are going to prom are;

*Are you going to prom alone, with a date, or with a group?*

“I’m going with a group because I feel like you can go as a group and a date but still have fun like you are there with just a date but when fun songs come on you can dance funny with those friends.”

-Kyree Carter

“I’m going with a date because it’s a night to remember and make memories and why do it alone when you can go with a beautiful girl and have a night of your life dancing for multiple hours.

-Brett Berry

Whether you’re going alone or with a date or even a group, just remember to always have fun and always make memories at your prom. I asked others what their opinion was because it’s nice to know who likes prom and who doesn’t.

*What is your opinion on Prom?*

“To me prom is a little overrated because people take it a step over then what it’s supposed to be.”

-Micheal Reyes

“Prom such be more dancing then anything else out there because it for you to still feel young and dance the night away.”

-Shakim James

First Transgender Clinic!

A recent UCLA’s Williams Institute study shows that Texas has the second-largest transgender population in the country. Just over 125,000 Texans identify as transgender. Right now, there is no Central Texas health care clinic tailored to their needs, but that’s about to change. On Thursday, a free transgender clinic will open to the public. This clinic will be the first Transgender clinic to open and it will be in Central Texas! This clinic will be free because why make people go to a clinic and pay and be judge if they’re a male or female. Some of the services that will be offered at the gender care clinic will gender affirming care such as feminizing hormones, masculizing hormones, STD screenings and HIV treatment and prevention drugs.

The Center Disease Control and Prevention estimates one in four transgender women are living with HIV. Everyone should be treated equal no matter what they are such as white, black, brown, male, female, kid, adult, or race still those shouldn’t judge you and classify you into categories. All these labels shouldn’t matter it should be about who you are not what you are!

“In the future, we’d also be able to offer some counseling services,” Dr. Brinson said. “This will be a wonderful opportunity to really find out how patients in Austin will seek out are care and we’ll get a better idea of how many people need this care.”
