     A immediate factor that might have caused the brawl on the baseball field shown in the photo, could possibly be tension between 2 or more opposing team mates. This leads to other teammates verbally getting involved, to show their support of their fellow teammate, aside from their opposing one.
     A remote factor that might have caused the brawl on the baseball field shown in the photo, could possible be a teammate intentionally hitting a opposing teammate, but accidentally hitting another man. This leads to that man hitting another man, and so on.
   

Journal Entry
     One way to prevent situations like the picture shown of the baseball brawl, is making a contract where each players of a baseball team sign their name to not intentionally start a fight using their fists, bats, feet (kicking) etc. If they abuse that rule, they will not be allowed to play in the game.
     Another way to prevent situations like the picture shown of the baseball brawl, is giving a mandatory of 50 community service hours to complete, to players who engage in a fight and/or start it. The hard core completion of community service, will allow baseball players to think twice before engaging in a brawl.

     There is not much difference between the duty of work my mother and my father undertake. My mother is a foreign language teacher. She's the one who wakes all my family members up for prayer and for school, no matter how tired she may be. She takes my other sisters and I to school every morning, and makes all health appointments for my father, as well as dropping my sisters off to school when she needs the car. She buys all groceries, and makes my family of 8 dinner every afternoon.
     On the other hand, my father's duty is somewhat similar to my mothers. My father has been sick for about 6 years now, but he still works to provide for us everyday.  He takes care of all expenses of the house. He makes sure he has payed all utility bills, car part replacements, insurance etc.
     But the biggest duty that my parents have succeeded in, is supporting my sisters and I every day, and noting the fact that if you work hard and get good grades, you'll always be successful in the future.

Dear Grandma,
     How are you? Hope everything is well! I miss you tremendously since Sophomore year when you last visited me. I always think of you daily. I wish you were here with me now, to experience my last year of high school. I feel so grown up now that in less than 1 year, I will head off to college. My school schedule is pretty good, however my core classes are challenging. I'm too in the process of trying to join more organizations/clubs.
      Since I didn't do a lot of school service, I want to make the most of my senior year. I would love to look back on great memories. We actually had a fire alarm last week that went off when I was on my way to the restroom. It was so funny grandma, because it was so quiet in the hallway, when suddenly I was crowded with tremendous amounts of people speed walking out the school doors.
But anyways, senior year is starting off good. Send me back tons of letters and write often! Love you!

Best Regards,
Sana Ahmed Abuhandara


Dear Chef Lowrie,

     How are you? Hope your day is going well. Its been about two years since you've last seen me. I'm a senior in high school now. I've been actually trying to find a senior culinary internship outside of school. It hasn't gone so well these past few weeks. I get interviews, but in the end it never works out. I have no idea why, but I keep applying for more jobs.
     I've also been to the counselors office about 5 times since school started. Some reasons are because of class changes, others are because my request for a senior out.  So I guess you can say my senior experience so far is a little hindering. Hopefully it gets better. On the bright side, I did find out that I am applicable for the senior out! And on top of that, I recently applied to Intern for Irving ISD. Since I am a enrolled student of the district, I pray that they are impressed with me, and what I can bring to the table. What I can say that I will love this year, is that every other day I can leave at around 12:00 . Hooray for me right?! If I get hired for this job at Irving ISD, I can work more hours, which is great.

Till next time,
Sana Ahmed Abuhandara
