Invisibility

     The windy weather in Chicago was not helping the house fire that occurred on Foster Avenue. Standing across the street with most of the neighborhood, I was thinking if I should go help. As I was still watching the house go up in flames, no one saw me change into my invisible cloak. Not one person saw me go from Raquel to what the news and most people call "The Invisible Helper!" Walking across the street and getting closer to the house, I hear a dogs bark inside the house. It wasn't any kind of bark, it was Buddy. Buddy was not like any other dog, he was one of my friends. I knew Buddy ever since the Gene Family got him two Christmases ago. Every time the family went on vacation I would watch over and take care of him. I was guessing the family went out for a little bite to eat because they were not home.
     Since no one could see me, I ran into the burning house and kept hearing the barking. The barking continued until I found Buddy lying there just staring at me with fear in his eyes. I grab him and carry him out of the burning household. As I got outside, the fireman stared at the dog in surprise wondering how the dog just appeared on the grass in front of the house. As I walked away and back to my house, the firemen were still trying to put out the fire on the house and the citizens of Foster Avenue that were watching the house fire  starting chanting "The Invisible Helper!" Even though still no one could see me I held my head up high with a smile on my face and feeling like I was on top of the world.

Do Now 10/7

      If I were a teacher at Wood-Ridge Jr/Sr High School, I would add a fashion class to our school.  Since we don't have a class like this I think it would be a good experience for students to be the first to learn about fashion in this school.  The class would meet after school but only for at least  20 minutes.  Every Wednesday, the students would work on sewing and making cloth into clothing.  At the end of the year we would make an entire outfit to see who would wear it in public!

     The classroom would be full of many future fashion designers ready to work hard. Some classroom assignments would be to make your own fashion magazine.  The students would get their friends to model in their magazine.  I'd hope for the students to feel comfortable in the classroom atmosphere.  During the middle of the school semester we would take a class trip to FIT which is the of Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.  I hope the students enjoy this class a lot!
