Interstitial Cystitis

Add caption

About a week ago my friend sophia started getting weird pains in between her vagina, and feeling pressure/pain in her bladder area. The causes of getting Interstitial Cystitis is, having a chronic pain disorder, your skin and hair color (having fair skin and red hair have a greater risk), your age (around 30's), and during sex. 

So March 20th came by and we were in cheer practice sophia looked very dull and just not herself, i asked her what was wrong and she pulled me into our storage room and told me she has Interstitial Cystitis. When i heard the name i was confused because i didn't understand what she was trying to tell me so i told her to explain to me how she thinks she got it and if she is 100% sure she has it. I grabbed my coach and he came to speak to her, she was crying telling us she feels a strong pain in her bladder and in between her vagina. About more than 2000,000 women and men get this illness a year and sophia happened to be one of them. I went with her to the doctor after practice to go see if she can get it checked out and to see if there was a cure. She was scared but she understood that no matter what has to happen that she has her friends and family by her side. We went into the doctor they told us it can be cured in no time she was put on medications & had to go to physical therapies. It should take a couple weeks until her bladder is under control. Therefore sophia will be okay and this illness will get treated.

Would you Rather..

1: I would rather pick the way i die because i don't want to be sitting here waiting for the year i die.

2: I would rather have a college named after me because having people attend my college would make me feel very accomplished.

3: I would rather have free WiFi wherever i go so that i don't have to be bugging people for the WiFi password.

4: I would rather resolve my biggest regret because i've done a lot of things that i've felt very guilty about and have never resolved them.

5: I would rather have my own private island because planes are very debatable because you never know if u are gonna crash and die, so i'm not taking any risks.

6: I would rather be able to read minds because i would use it to read the smartest person in the class to cheat on a test.

7. I would rather have 100,000$ in cash so i can go on a shopping spree.

8: I would rather date my celebrity crush for 2 years because it's better than a "friendship".

9: I would rather have my dream car because i can show it off.

10: I would rather be a Ninja so that i can i can sneak up on people without them seeing me.

11: I would rather restart my life because i wonder what my life would be like if i chose different.

12: I would rather live the life of fame and wealth so i don't have to worry about being broke/homeless

13: I would rather have the ability to see into the future because i would like to see how my life is like 20 years from now.

Early release on Wednesdays - Proposal for change

 My proposal for change is administrators allowing ALL students getting out of school early on Wednesdays at 12:00pm, so us students don't have to be dragging the whole week. It used to be every Thursday in 2016 then they had to change it. We deserve to have it back.

 

Depending on the teacher/subject and what grade you are in students get lots of work, especially juniors and seniors. Some teachers don't even assign work they let u do it in class and if it's not done in class then that is your homework. On top of getting school work us students might be involved in sports, we either have practice after school or in the afternoon. So why should students be stressed about school work on top of sports? some of us get really tired from going to practice and just want to go to bed right away and just procrastinate and do it the night the homework is due.

 

For example having school get out of 12:00pm on Wednesdays can benefit some students as long as they take it into consideration that the school board of aps is allowing us to take a break because they know how hard working students are, so taking advantage of it is a really good thing! but if we disrespect it and just ditch that day then things can go really bad.

 

Another side of the argument is that attendance might be bad on Wednesdays because some students think "its not worth going to school since it is so short" well what administrators can do about that problem is maybe doing this for about a month so we can get the feel out of it and if attendance is really bad and no one shows up, then they can take the privilege away and we can all just be stressed and dragging the whole week waiting until its Friday. 

 In conclusion i think ALL students should get out at 12:00pm every Wednesday to relax, and not stress to much because school can be a pain in the ass, and looking forward to Wednesdays during the week would be so awesome because then we can get caught up on any classes if we are falling behind and not having to wait to the last minute to turn anything in. It can benefit students and teachers.

Book Tasting 'Perfect' ch 1 Review By: Natasha Friend

I read the first chapter of "perfect" so far i liked how it was relatable to me personally because i fight with my brother ALOT and if we do something guilty and the other person sees we beg each other to not tell and bribe each other with anything they want so they can keep their mouth shut. I did not dislike anything about this chapter. The one thing that really kept me to keep reading throughout chapter one,  was why Isabelle was throwing up her food? It gave me questions like "whats causing her to do it?" "Is she sick?" "Is she struggling with depression?" for example her "ex sister April" came in and saw her throwing up and Isabelle was trying to cover up by saying "don't tell mom, i just have the flu and and i don't want her to worry" and April said " the flu? really is that what it is?" as Isabelle had her fingers down her throat. Nothing made me feel grateful for not continuing to read, i really wanted to know more. I would recommend this book to teenagers because to me by Isabelle making herself throw up i feel like that is a sign of depression and i feel like a lot of teens have suffered that and have gone through a phase of depression. However i wouldn't tell the author anything about the book because i only read one chapter of it, and it was only 2 pages front to back so right now i have no feed back because i need to know more.

Everyone deserves a nice relaxing break before returning to school and going straight into testing. Plus Disneyland is the way to go! it looks like so much fun, and such a great way to spend quality time with your family.

How To Become A Tattoo Artist.

A tattoo artist is an individual who applies permanent decorative tattoos, often in an established business called "tattoo shop", "tattoo studio" or "tattoo parlour."Tattoo artists usually learn their craft via an apprenticeship under a trained and experienced mentor. If you are looking forward on becoming a tattoo artist in the future here are some steps.

1. Complete a Portfolio 

Tattoo artists should possess great artistic ability and creativity. Before an artist can gain an apprenticeship working in a shop, he or she needs to complete a professional portfolio exhibiting his or her best works of art. A portfolio can contain both original works and high-quality photographs of drawings.

Taking art classes, either in high school or through a local community center, can help an aspiring tattoo artist learn various art skills, including scale, proportion and shading, all of which are necessary to work successfully as a tattoo artists.

2. Complete an Apprenticeship

The Alliance of Professional Tattooists, or APT for short, recommends an apprenticeship of at lest three years. During an apprenticeship, a prospective artist will work in a shop alongside a professional tattooist learning to design tattoos, to operate a tattoo machine, and sterilize equipment. Additionally, some apprenticeships include lessons on business aspects of tattooing and may prepare aspiring artists to have their own shop.

3. Take Tattoo Artist Education Courses

Many skills needed for a successful career as a tattoo artist can be learned from an apprenticeship with a knowledgeable artist, but some health departments and other state and local regulatory agencies also require classroom experience. Seminars in disease prevention and skin diseases and infections and training in blood- borne pathogen prevention may be required for licensing. 

4. Get a License

Most states require licensure for tattoo artists; however, requirements vary by state. Oregon, for example, requires licensees to complete a minimum of 360 hours of training under an approved artist as well as 50 tattoos. A written exam and skills assessment also are typically necessary for licensing.

5.  Learn the Basics of Tattoo Art

Depending on Years of experience, location, and reputation, a tattoo artist can make upwards of $60,000-$80,000 per year. The art of the tattooing is more than just altering the body by inserting ink to the skin. A tattoo is often a rite of passage, a mark of status, or a symbol of bravery. Tattoos can be purely cosmetic - to enhance a person's appearance, or as a form of medical reconstruction and cover - up of scars or deformities. Even tho u make a-lot of money still, this is not a get-rick- quick career. Your ability to please your customers and gain a stellar reputation locally or nationally will ultimately decide your annual salary.
