Intro to Alex

     My name is Alex Smith. Some of my friends call me Smitty. I am seventeen years old and a Senior at Cornerstone Christian School. I do not play sports because my severe Crohn's disease somewhat limits me on my physical activity but I love being involved in other things. I am involved in SGA activities and I have to say homecoming week is my favorite week of the year. I make it my goal to win the dress up days as many times as I can. 
I live on a sixty acre farm in Montevallo, Alabama and my grandparents have a house on this farm also. We have cattle, two horses and a donkey named Barack. I also have a new Golden Retriever puppy named Sam and an orange tabby cat named Willie. I have an older sister named Addie who graduated from Auburn University and now works for the Auburn University athletic department. I have been working for Lucky's Foodland for about two months now in the produce department. I enjoy my job but what I really enjoy is getting that paycheck. Some people may think living in south Shelby County is boring, but if you keep an eye on my upcoming blogs you will see that very interesting things can happen in my neck of the woods.

    Well written Alex. I used to have a puppy, his name was Samson. He was a full bread blue pitbull. I Had to re-home him. I work at Foodland too!

    War Eagle! I didn't realize you had any siblings. I'm glad you dress up for Homecoming week, because at my old school not many people did. I love it! Definitely will keep an eye out for future blogs!

The Runaway Squirrel      One would think going to fill up your truck with gasoline would be a simple boring task without any possible risk of harm. It was a Sunday afternoon and I decided to run to the gas station and fill up so I would not have to do it the next morning on my way to school. My dad was bored so he decided to go with me. I always go to the station in front of the Wal-Mart in Alabaster. Even though there are a few stations closer to my house this one always has the lowest price on gasoline.      I filled up my tank with no issues and was about to jump in my truck to leave. Suddenly, a man appeared and told me there was a baby squirrel sitting on the bumper of my truck. As a looked around, I noticed two rather large people in pajamas that had a panicked look on their face. The large man approached me and asked for my help. As it turns out, his baby squirrel had escaped from his car. By this time, the squirrel had jumped down from my bumper and was running aroun

The Dangers of Technology      There are several things we use every day that are not dangerous, but can be if used improperly. For example, cars are necessary to get us where we need to go and make life a lot easier. But, if you speed or drink while driving cars can be very dangerous. Technology is also one of these things.

Every day people are being tricked into giving out personal information online, which is often sold by fraudsters to other people. Many people have lost several thousands of dollars because of scams like this. People are also tricked into giving out personal information when they think they have won money or other fabulous prizes.       Another danger of technology is too many children are left alone and unattended for hours while using the internet. This makes them an easy target for child predators to c
