What color represents you? Why?
The color that represents me is green because I enjoy nature and money. Mainly nature because it makes me feel free and helps me get away from problems. It is me best friend. Money just helps me pay bills and go to school.

"Research Paper Final Draft."

During the last couple of days I have been researching “how abortion emotionally impacts women?” I searched different web pages for facts that would help me look for stats, the effect, and the background of abortion. I learned that abortion affects people in many different ways whether it was physical, psychological, or even relationship. Women who have an abortion are recommended to go receive help from a therapist. The physical effects can be terminal which can cause them heavy bleeding. When it comes to sex there partner is not interested in having sex. 75% percent of all relationships with an abortion added do not last they break up or get an abortion. For women the psychological effect may be thoughts of suicide or them knowing that they have just killed an innocent life that had just been born. For guys them knowing that they had just lost the chance of being a father or giving the child a father child bond. Women who have an abortion and it affect them they are diagnosed with post abortion syndrome.

The background for abortion is a big history. Abortion has been going on for centuries in many countries including the U.S. A Black woman is three times more likely to have an abortion than a white woman. As for Mexican’s/ Hispanics it is two time more likely for them to have an abortion then a White women. It is also all about money the more money there is the more abortion there will be. The less amount of money; the less abortions there will be. People who are religious always say, “I do not believe in abortion” so they think that they will never have one. That is not true because the religion that has the lowest rate of abortions are Jewish people with 1.3% while Catholic’s have 31.3% of abortions. 52% of women under the age of fifteen account for 1.2% of abortions. There is a lot of background behind abortion that I had no idea about.

There are so many abortions that occur worldwide. Per year there are approximately 42 million abortions. Per day are approximately 115,000 abortions that occur. 83 percent of all abortions are in developing countries and 17 percent occur in developed countries. 48 percent of all abortions facilities provide services after the twelfth week of pregnancy. Most reasons why women have abortions are because they are not ready to have a child or because they are rape victims and don’t want the child of the rapist. 6 percent of all abortions occur because health problems regarding either mother or child and 93 percent of all abortions occur for social reasons. An estimate 43 percent of all women will have at least one abortion by the time they are 45 years old. 47 percent of all abortions are performed on women who have at least one previous abortion.

Women have the choice of having different types of abortion. It all depends on the week or month that they are on. They can have a suction abortion which is when they vacuumed out the child from there vaginal area. They can receive a Curettage which is when they scrape the child out which can cause them to bleed quite a bit. Another example is salt poisoning, they can put it in there drink and when they drink it the baby will die and will be taken out or digested out. Prostaglandin is another example that is used for having an abortion.

Drama Epic & Myth "Odyssey" Assessment Project Final Draft

"Literature Commentary Final Draft."

When people go home they are stuck in some kind of traffic whether it was a flight delay or freeway traffic. On the other hand Odysseus is a mortal man living at the same time as the Greek Gods. Odysseus had to go through a ten year delay in order to go home to get to his wife Penelope. On Odysseus journey, in the “Odyssey” by Homer, he proves that cunning and sacrifices where great aids on his way back home.

Odysseus proves that he was the most wise and strongest out of all his men that joined him on his journey. For example, when Odysseus tricked the Cyclops in thinking that his real name was “Nobody”. This showed that the trick he pulled on the Cyclops was a great trick of cunning because it saves most of his men. This also shows that not only being smart saved his life but it also helped him get things done and solve problems. In addition Odysseus was able to finish his journey and get back home to his wife although he was disguised as a beggar. This shows that when Odysseus got home his disguise as a beggar was cunning in helping him to find out what was going on and if the people around him were still here for him and not the suitors. This also shows that him dressing as a beggar helped him find who were true and loyal to him compared to those who were just trying to be with his wife.

Odysseus was smart and his cunning paid off big time in winning back his household.
Odysseus proves that sacrifice was a huge help in his journey back home. He knew that those sacrifices would be hard for him. For example, when Odysseus had to sacrifice his men in order to get back home. This shows that he would have done anything to get back to his wife but he didn’t want to lose his men at the same time. His men were eaten from flesh to bone till there was nothing left of them by Cyclops and the Charybdis. In addition, he sacrificed his physical affairs with the Circe to go back home to his loving wife Penelope. This shows that Penelope was the women that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. This also shows that his love for his wife Penelope was what he wanted and would give up anything to go back to her. All the sacrifices that he went through were helpful even if one of them could have destroyed his relationship with his faithful wife.

Odysseus was able to make it home safely thanks to his cunning and the sacrifices that he made although they were not always exactly what he wanted. Odysseus was a human just like modern people so having to make decisions and mistakes on his journey back home was an everyday thing. The Odyssey was a mythological epic about Odysseus journey home and all the challenges along the way. What he had to do and give up getting home and seeing his wife Penelope once more. To hold her and never allow her go through that again.

“Romeo & Juliet” Love Letter – Acts 4 & 5

Oh Romeo,

I am being forced to marry Paris. I do not want to but I did meet Paris with Laurence. I went to go see Father and told him that I needed help to get out of it. Father told me that he had a poison that will out me in coma for 42 hours. I agreed to him and he sent you a letter telling our plan. I guess you did not receive it. When I woke up from my deep sleep I saw Father their and he told me that we had to go. I kept on asking him where you were but he did not tell me. Then I saw you on the floor and Father told me that we had to go and I said no. He said that it was all a mistake and ran away. I began to cry and saw a bottle next to you and I tried to drink it but you had drank it all already. I heard people and did not want them finding out. Si I saw a knife in your bag an thought of no choice but to kill myself to be with you and no one else. I truly love you and hope to see you in the after life. To my Romeo you had made my life better than anyone had ever done. Always and forever you will be mine and I will be yours.

Love,
Juliet

Odyssey Part B - Content Paragraph - Women

In the story the Greek women are portrayed as really ugly, sexual, and evil. In the story the women would seduced the men to come to them and then the women would kill them. The only women that helped the men were Athena. That was because she is a goddess and is supposed to help others in need. She is known as the goddess of wisdom. The Sirens were the people who were ugly and sung good. To the men they were beautiful and they wanted to be with them In order to get away from them the men had to put bee's wax in their ears to ignore them and get away safely.

“Romeo & Juliet” Love Letter – Act 3

Oh Romeo,

I am glad to see you but now that you are gone I am not happy. My father is trying to force me into marrying his friend Paris, because he is rich and on my level. I do not want to marry another man because I made my promise to you by marrying you. I cannot marry another man I don't love. My father was telling me that if I do not show up to the church and marry Paris that he will disown me. I don't know what to do. I do miss you and wish you were here with me to comfort me. Why is it that you had to leave. I cry for every moment that you are gone. I wish I could have gone with you and not have to be worried about my family.

Romeo & Juliet Act 2 Content Paragraph - True or Forbidden Love

In my opinion I think that Romeo and Juliet was true love. They got married and knew it was love the first time they saw each other. If the did not love each other they would not bother with each other. Yet that is coming from my perspective. I would get how people would think that it was forbidden love because as soon as she found out that he was a Montague she started to like him even more. That is not the case because she liked him before she found out he was a Montague. It was true love and nothing else.

Oddyssey Part A - Content Paragraph - Heroes and Conflict

Overcoming an external conflict does not really make them a hero. What it does is it makes them think that they are a hero because they had overcome something that was hard for them or someone else. An external conflict can be anything; for example it can be as small as a relationship problem to as big as fighting a creature like the Greek gods did. In my opinion anyone can be a hero. You can save a man's life from a burning building to a nurse or a doctor saving an innocent life of a child that was dying. It all comes down to saving a life or making a dramatic difference in another person’s life.

“Romeo & Juliet” Love Letter – Act 2

Oh Romeo,

Today we got married at the church where father Lawrence made it official. I am glad that I am married to you and you are married to me. I knew that you loved me and you would make the arrangements. I love you my darling and wish that we did not have to hide our feelings. I want to stay with you and not go home. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I love the way you looked and how you were happy to see me when I arrived at the church. The purple that you were wearing looked dashing on you and I thought that it was a nice choice to wear. Oh Romeo, I hope to see you again tonight. I cannot wait any longer but we must. I do wonder what our families would say if they were to find out. I should not think that, they are not going to find out unless someone says something. I want to tell my mother but if I was to tell her there would be so much drama and madness. I do truly love you. During our wedding I could not stop looking at you with a smile. My stomach was happy and was fluttering with butterflies. When I hugged you I was positive I was truly in love.

“Romeo & Juliet” Love Letter – Act 1

Oh Romeo,
The first time I have seen your eyes after you took off your mask I automatically knew that I had fallen in love with you. My heart was beating quicker and my grin became a smile. My heart skipped a beat whenever I was next to you. I was so nervous because I thought I was going to say something but I knew not to so I decided to control myself. When I saw you looking at me when I was dancing and I could not keep my eyes away from you.When I danced with you I felt happy for once. I didn't want to stop dancing with you. Oh my, the kiss that I had from you was love and beautiful. I loved how it was passionate and smooth. When you left I was sad but glad and my heart was warm. I just did not believe how you were a Montague. I know that our families are enemies, but can they take away true love? What will they do if they were to find out? Romeo I do not want to be taken away from you.

Poetry Assessment Project

Life, life life
What about life?
In life, not everything
is what it turns out to be.
Life can be deceiving.
Especially in ones own eye.
Life is like an old toy,
a toy that is abandoned
and not cared for.
Our world that we live in,
it is nothing but drama.
It is a planet full of people,
people who don't care about there atmosphere.
Sometimes I feel like
I live in a jungle.
A jungle full of wild animals.
Like monkey's that swing from vine to vine.
birds that squawk,
and snakes the hiss up from the trees.
Life is all wrong,
there needs to be a major change.
On the other hand
life is beautiful
like a butterfly
hatching from its cocoon.
So beautiful that when it spreads it's wings
life is amazed with glory.
It is also a cycle that can be broken.
Who knows what can happen.
It can be a beautiful day in May.
and ride a bike
on a easy hike.

Figurative Lanuage Content Paragraph - Rhyming Poem

In the night
I see the light.
What might it be?
Should I go see?
This is real bright
Near a twilight.
Oh man this gives me a fright.
I am heading up the hill
In Brazil.
I get a slight chill,
I was untold
That the wind was cold.
"CRACK and KABOOM"
I see a broom.
I began to pray,
But did not know what to say.
Star light.
Star bright.
The first star
I see tonight.
I wish I may.
I wish I might.
Have the wish
I wish tonight.
I am now finished.
For I am going to be vanished.
"POOF"

"Legal Alien/Extranjera Legal" Before You Read

When I am in need of relaxation I enjoy meditating. When I was in my room about a couple of months ago I was really stressed out, but I did not know why. So I decided to meditate and get myself out of this world. So I put on comfortable clothes and closed my blinds and just relaxed. I was so deep into my thought that I did not realize that my staff walked in to check on me and asked if I was okay. When I was meditating I saw a lot of my passed memories and saw how screwed up my life was and me ignoring people and hiding from my problems. When I was trying to open my eyes I felt like I couldn't because I was thinking too much about my problems and how to relax and not worry about things too much. After about 30 minutes of all that I was really relaxed and felt good. I was not too tensed up or anything. I felt refreshed. The thing is that I did not even realize that I was out for that long. When I was trapped it was nothing but reviewing who I was and what I was going through. If I had not done that I would have been really agitated and frustrated with people. That would have made me look ugly. I am glad that I did that because I was a lot better after that.

"Romeo & Juliet" Before You Read (Presentation & Notes)

William Shakespear was a man of talent and a man who earned his way up into fame. When I was reading about Drama I saw that there was more than one type of drama. He began writing plays between 1596-1612. His plays became famous especially the well know Romeo and Juliet. To read and at Shakespeare you have to be dramatic and know how to act. Well at least have some well knowledge in knowing how. If I had the chance to go see one of his plays I would go because his plays are powerful and have well meaning to them. It coul dalso be the last play he could have ever wrote. At first I was feeling all happy because it was a love stiry and when you see two people who like each other and they do anything to be with each other is adorible. At the end of the story I was sad because when they thought eachother was dead that they killed themselves. It was all because of the rivalry between there two families. That was a shame, never keep two love apart because then you can lose ssomething that was valuable to you.

"Ballad of Birmingham" Before You Read

I was about 11 when I had a disturbing event happen to me. I was at school when I heard my father had passed away. I would like to make a ballad for my father. In memory of everything that he has done for me. My father was sick for a while. He was able to come home for thanksgiving but when he came home to have it with us he passed away a couple days when he arrived. I ran home from school and I held him in my arms and cried and cried non stop until the ambulance came. After all that we had a funeral for him and I cried non stop. I did not know how to control the way I felt. I didn't know what to say. The next day he got cremated and his ashes were given to my grandmother then me. I prayed on his ashes every time I saw it. I miss him and will never forget about him. He will always be kept in my heart. I love you daddy, so Rest in Peace.

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" Before You Read

When I look into the orange groves, I always wonder what I will see when or if I go into their. I see darkness and not alot of light. I also see workers who pick the oranges and put them into big crates. I see many orges that grow and the fall. I hear the leaves rustle when then get picked. I hear people talking and a dog barking. I also hear oranges fall. I smell a orchrid scent that smell really good. Mmmmm I do love the smell of it. I feel good for seeing them grow and getting eaten. I feel bad when they grow and then get picked and sold. I feel bad when I get get them because they do not belong to us. I wish that I owned the trees for I can pick them and I can eat them. I wish that they smely better and the odar of the things would go away and only smell the oranges. etting to live among these trees makes me feel proud and thankful because I live near them and they grow and feed me at the same time.

Figurative Lanuage Content Paragraph

I don't really know how figurative language makes me feel but I guess it makes me feel okay. I don't really have a feeling because I never knew we were supposed to have a feeling. I guess it males me feel good because I am learning something that I don't really know much about. In the poem "The Boy at the Window" by Richard Wilbur they were talking about a snowman and giving him some real life emotions and personality's. An example of personification is " Having no wish to go inside and die" is basically saying that if the snowman had a chance to go inside he would melt and die so he does not go in. An example of metaphore in the poem " The Seven Ages of Man" by William Shakespeare is " And then the lover sighing like funace." The meaning of that was when a man sighs it makes noise and the furnace makes a clinking noise and sounds like is sighs after that. An example of a simile in the poem " Tiburon" by Martin Espada is " A long red car stalled with the hood up roaring salsa like a prize shark mouth yanked open." It means The sound of the car is the sound of the when it was being opened. How do you figure out the meaning of figurative language comparisons?
I figure out the meaning of figurative language by reading the poem careflly and trying to figure out what it means.

"Boy at the Window" Before You Read: Silly Childhood Fear

When I was little, I was afraid of stepping on the small animals that were around me. I thought that since I was bigger than them That I would step on them and then crush them. The adults around me told me not to worry about it because they are not going to hurt that much. One time I stepped on a gopher and I was freaking out because I thought I hurt it. Now, I realize, it was silly because it was not hurt and I was just being over sensitive.

"The Seven Ages of Man" Before You Read: From My Rocking Chair

I am at a park sitting with a couple of friends telling stories to one another. A life that I have lived was when I traveled I felt good and when I was done with the areas that I have traveled made me feel like I have lived that part of me and I a beginning to start living another life. When I was a baby and I was learning how to walk was another life that I lived. Another was when I learned how to ride a bike and I accomplished that. Another one was when I learned how to talk and I became a chatter box. Another life I lived was when I graduated from middle school not knowing that I would make it that far. Another one was when I first learned how to jump rope and now I know hoe. Last but not least was when I made it through cheer leading when I was not that interested in it. I lived all those by choice and happiness. All those I was proud of. I hope to be remembered by people seeing the smile on my faces and knowing how excited I was for living through all that.

“Tiburon” Before You Read

A jacket is like a humans coat it keeps us warm on cold days and the fur that is on the bear is his coat that keeps him warm during the winter. In a way the two objects are a lot alike. The jacket is made of cotton which is really thick or thin that keeps our body covered. The fur on the bear is thick and heavy so the bear can keep itself warm during the winter and not have to worry about going into hyporthermia. They both us warm and are very good friends towards us. When I see the manmade object I want to go buy one because when it is cold and I do not have a jacket with me, I just want one to put on to get warm again.

"Kennedy Nonfiction" Content Paragraph

I was in class and my teacher was telling us about a story named "American History." So I went to go get the book, opened to the page and began reading. While I was reading I had no idea that at the time of Kennedy's Presidency there was a lot of racism. He did not like that and was working on fixing the issue. There was a lot of discrimination and bullying going on against immigrants. People made fun of immigrants because of there skin color. Students could not attend in Honor Classes because they were Puerto Rican. The other one was that they had to live in an ugly apartment called "El Building." Understanding History can help me understand nonfiction stories because not only am I just reading I am also learning at the same time. Learning something new is great especially when you have not been taught about it.

Imagery Content Paragraph

The poem That I have picked was (A Blessing by James Wright). While I was reading the poem I felt calm and it felt beautiful to me. I know that beautiful is not an emotion but it is to me. An example of imagery was "they bow shyly as wet swans." It points out loyalty and kindness with love mixed together. The image creates a soft and loving feeling. The bright colorful skies and the horses walking toward me in the pasture. Another example of imagery was "I would break into blossom." To me it says that I want to have something beautiful like the two horses. It creates a happy and calm feeling. Another example of imagery was "her long ear that is delicate as the skin over a girl's wrist." A sense that I got from that was soft. One feeling was happiness and comfort. It shows a lot and it helps by explaining our feelings for us.

Kennedy Nonfiction: Before You Read - Primary or Secondary Source

I would rather hear it from someone who had been an eyewitness to the crime. It is more interesting because you see and feel the way the person felt. Knowing that the person had went through all that trouble and is still willing to share what had happened to them. It is nice to hear about things and wanting to hear more about it with no stop. I think that it is also nice to hear it from the person themselves because if I had any questions I had a question I could get them answered right then and there.

"American History" Content Paragraph

On the other hand I think she should have been more upset the fact that Eugene's mother did not let her in the house just because she was Puerto Rican. It not the child who should not be excepted it should the the person who is discriminating because they want to be like those who want to be snobby. I think that the mother should have been happy that Eugene had met a new friend since they had just barley moved there. Discrimination spread all throughout where she was living. She could not be in Honor classes because she was Puerto Rican. Even though she had straight A's and was very smart. She had to live in the El Building apartments because that was where all the immigrants lived when they had just moved to the US. Another one was that she could not go over to Eugene's house because she was Puerto Rican and lived in the El Building apartments. Once Eugen's mother saw her she told her that he does not need help studying so she should go home. Then the mother closed the dorr behind her.When I was to read this story I was thinking to myself; wow, just thinking about the way they treated immigrants was messed up. I felt that treating people differently should have never came. I felt sorry for the fact that she had to live that way. The way she took things calmly was amazing. I would have been upset if someone was to do that to me.

“American History” Experience with Discrimination

When I was about eleven years old and was in art class. I wanted to sit at a table and three girls said I couldn't because I was not like them. So I just sat down anyway and they got up and moved to sit somewhere else. The table ended up to be the trouble maker table where we all just talked and did art. At first I felt bad because I had never had someone act that way towards me. I was not the popular girl but I was the tomboy of the class. When I sat down and did not listen to what they said I felt like I stepped up for myself. Then when other students came to sit down I felt better because we were all different. It was a great turn out.

“A Blessing” Break into Blossom Paragraph

On February 22, 1995 in the hospital a baby was born. That baby was me. Well my mother was giving birth and I had finally come out. I saw people surrounding me and lots of smiles. I heard people saying it's a girl and she is so beautiful. You guys are lucky parents. I touched my fathers hand and his hand was soft, chubby and big. I felt happy but at the same time I felt loved for the first time ever by my father. It made me feel lucky and glad to know that when I came to the world that I had a family.

Summer School Plan

In summer school I plan to do all my work and end the class with an "A". I am also going to do all my work and make sure that they are turned in on time not late. I am also going to make sure that when I get home that I make myself do my homework. During summer school I hope to learn something new. I also plan to help those in class that ask for help. During class I will concentrate on my work and make sure that I do not horse around. During class I hope not to fail summer school. I am going to make sure that I do not procrastinate. I will have two partners. My partners will be Kelsey and John. We will make sure that we get all of our work done.

Casey Anthony Trial

I can't believe this after 3 years has passed of Caylee Anthony's murder her mother was founded not guilty. That is all wrong, I think that the mother killed her own daughter. After all the science and investigation the jury still said she was not guilty. This women reported her daughter to police 31 days after she was missing. Don't you think that there is some suspicion in whether the mother was lying or not. Man, this is a shock and disappointment to me. Casey Anthony gets no consequence in the murder of her daughter. I still believe in karma and I know that whatever goes around will come back around twice as hard. Caylee was 2 years old when she was murdered. If she was alive right now she would be 5 years old and doing what she loves to do, but no she will never get chance do the things she would want to do. As the news lady, "THE DEVIL IS DANCING TONIGHT." This women is going to see hate all around her. Shame on Casey Anthony and I give Caylee my prayers. Rest in peace. The angles are with you now.

Portfolio - My Educational Experiences

Due to my educational experiences, I am currently now leaving Sophomore year and going into my Junior year. This year has been better than ever. I am understanding more about technology as I go. I am also gaining more vocabulary and speaking skills. I also learned how to pick my groups or partner more wisely when it comes to projects. When I was a freshman I did not use as much technology until I came to San Pasqual Academy. I did not know how to use it that well and during the last year and a half I have improved a lot. My teacher Mrs. Priester has our class do vocabulary cards that we have to write a sentence, the definition, and add a picture to prove that we know what the word means. I am also learning to talk to people more often and communicate with them properly instead of using slang words. When I have a group or a partner project I have been able to work faster because I have picked someone who actually does there work and work at my pace. I make sure that I do my homework and turn it in on time. I also make sure that my work looks presentable. I also make sure that I study for I can do well on my tests.

Portfolio - Improvement

Over the past two years, I have Improved a lot . My freshman year was a going good when I was attending Morse High School. My grades were not all that great but I was happy and had no problems. Then I came to San Pasquale Academy. I came here by choice. I did not know that I would have this much trouble with computers. I did not use them as much. On top of all that I somewhat failed my freshman year. I did a lot better my Sophomore year. My grades improved a lot, I got off two hour and received awards for my academic and citizen ship. I have to give myself around of applause. I was proud of myself. I knew I could do it, I just did not bother trying. In Middle School my writing skills were okay but could have been better with some practice. Now my writing skills are almost good and I have less corrections to make on my essays. I had finally chose to practice on my writing skills and started to do better each time. My reading skills before High School was at college base. I read a lot during the school year and during the summer I just stopped and didn't bother reading. I still don't read as much but my reading level has dropped to a 12th grade level. Not bad but could have been better. I did not improve on my reading level but still have the chance to bring it back to college level again. My speaking skills before High School were not all that great because I did speak Spanish in between my English so that hurt my English just a little. My speaking skills are doing better than ever and I am proud that I can talk without having to think before I talk. They improved by taking speech skills and taking an extra English class. My group skills before high school were horrible. I did not like working in a group. I disliked the fact that when I was in a group I was the one stuck doing all the work. I still don't really like working in groups but the groups that I am usually in are good at all of us doing our part of the project. They improved by choosing the students who actually do there work. I did not use the computers as much so they were not all that great. My computer skills have improved a lot since I had Mrs. Priester as my teacher. My tech skills improved by me asking for help when I needed it. I am going to continue to work hard and ask for help when I need it. I will also pay attention more and get along better with my peers.

Portfolio - Future

How do you feel about your future? I feel very confident about my future. I know that if I keep my mind straight in what I want to do I can accomplish anything. What are your goals for the future? My goals for my future is to graduate high school and attend college. I want to major in forensic anthropology and in math and science. I want to also get a degree in criminal justice. I want to become a Lawyer and a Forensic Anthropologist. How have your previous experiences prepared you to reach each of these goals? My previous experiences prepared me a lot. If I had never went to school or had help and encouragement from my teachers I don't even know if I could do it. What do you need to continue to work on in order to achieve each of your goals? I need to continue doing well in school and having the support from my friends and family. Who will help you to achieve your goals? I hope that my friends, family, and teachers will help me because I have helped them at least once since I have known them. Do you genuinely believe you will achieve your goals? Why or why not? I generally do believe that I will achieve my goals because I am field with confidence and if I don't make it the first time I just get back up and try it again until I accomplish what I have started and put my mind into. I don't believe in they words "I can't do it" because when you say you can't that just means you won't and you are setting yourself up for failure. So I try not to put myself down, I try to gain positive energy. That is my motivation in succeeding.

Playwrights Project Play Performance Paragraph

During the performances of the actors I felt suffering. I am not sure why I felt it, but I do have to say that the majority of the plays were really sad and had a lot of pain that was being expressed that was not shown before. The plays were very touching and amazing at the same time. The reason why I felt this way was because most of the plays were about death. Another reason was because it was about them not fitting in or not self confident. The last reason was because some were about getting kidnapped or just given up. I had lost my father when I was eight years old. My brother was shot and killed in a drive bye in front of me when I was only four years old. I was traumatized and filled with anger and sadness. My grandmother passed away a week before my sixteenth birthday. I was given up at birth and was put in the system when I was only three weeks old. I was raped in the system, I was also abused. When I was seven I had low self esteem but now I am confident about the way I look. I just told myself to be strong and don't let people get in the way of my goals.

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Obstacle

In the beginning of my sophomore year I was on two hour and was procrastinating. Then I realized that I could do better and needed to do my homework on time. As soon as I did that my GPA was higher then I had since I lived here. I felt good about that. During second quarter I was off two hour. I was doing good and proud of myself. Third quarter I was doing better. My grades were good and I even got Student of the quarter. I felt really good about that. It was unexpected. Fourth quarter I was struggling and still on task. I don't know why I was struggling. I still kept my promise that I made to myself. I got self passes and feel good about that. I am going to play football again. Happy about that. Have good friends and still doing good in school. I hope to continue this next year. This school year has been great for me.

Playwrights Project Play Completion Reflection

It is a relief that I am now done with my play in Priester's class. Now I can go back to finishing my research paper. This play write project was a fun experience to have. I enjoyed writing a play and soon I get to see someone perform all of our plays in our class. I am also glad that I am done because now I don't have to worry about it again. This whole play thing was fun but hard at the same time. I like to write but not something I am not good at. I liked the whole idea the we write our plays and then we enter in a contest. I know that at first I did not want to enter it but I think that it would be a great idea to find out where I am at. On the form it says if we want feedback yes or no. I put yes because I want someone professional to tell me what I need to work on and what is good. So from there on it will help me improve for the next time I want to write a play. At first I did not even know why we had to write a play in class. It had nothing to do with whatever we were talking about. I was thinking to myself, how is this going to help me in english. Then toward the end I found my answer. It was helping my writing skills and helping to learn the characters. Along the way I had fun and do hope I can do this again. To be honest I was really stressed out because this took forever and the fact that we had very little time was hard. I know that we had about two to three weeks but it was still hard. My brain does not think that fast nor does it want to think that hard. I did get it done on time but man, was that a good feeling. This is out of my way and now I am back on task. Yay! I thank Mrs. Olivia for introducing me in this section of english. I might think to myself whether I want to learn more or just stop then and there. I had a good time getting to know her. She helped me a lot too. Thank you Mrs. Olivia. It was nice knowing you.

SPA Prom 2011 or Free Write

On Friday of May 20, San Pasqual Academy High School had prom. Prom was at the Hotel Del Coronado. Our theme was Masquerade. Not every one had a mask but every one did look nice. We drove on a bus to get there. When we got there we all took a picture. People were complaining but the pictures came out looking nice. When we were walking to the room where we were having our prom people were looking at us and taking pictures. We did not know them but they were telling us how nice we looked. We finally got to the room and we were all amazed at how cool it looked. There tables were nicely set and the room was just wonderful. There was a photo booth and a D.J. She was cool and she knew what kinds of songs we liked. She even danced with us which was nice. The food was good from what I was told. It was shredded beef with mash potato's and asparagus. There was a veggie plate too. It was pasta with vegetable sauce. That was good too. The salad was great but the bread was really hard. The rolls were fluffy and good. Everyone had a nice time, mostly the guys. Some of the guys were taking off there long sleeve shirts and just had there vest's on. Then when techno music played one person decided to take his shirt off. Wayne came and took him off the stage and told all the guys who took off there shirts to put them back on. After that people were having a great time dancing. I had a great time with my group I went with. We took pictures and danced all together. We had a great time. When prom was over we went back to the buses and went back home. The ride back home was tiring. We were tired. When we got back on campus we said our good nights and went home. Some of us wished we could have went to the beach like we were told we could but we didn't. I was so tired that I did not wake up the next morning till 12:00. I was that tired. Prom was better then the other one I went to. Well that's how prom was to me.

Haunted Hotel Del Coronado

At the Hotel Del Coronado there was a tragic death that occurred. A woman in her middle age life had died in room 3312. Since her death people who go know that her room is haunted. She still roams the beach sides and the halls that she once walked. People every now and then rent that room and complain about seeing her shadow or hearing noises. Ever since that day, that hotel has been called “The Haunted Hotel Del Coronado”, because of suicides and deaths of guests. There would be ghosts or spirits dancing in the ball room. There are kids running around the halls. Well now I am really going to find out. I am going to have prom there and see if I see any Ghosts.

Field Trip Paragraph

So, this week I went to two field trips. On Tuesday the 10th of May, her whole Biology class went to the Dairy Farm on Milkyway Road. On the trip I saw a bay calf that waqs just born. I was hopeing to see the calf born, but we were too late. I also got to see the workers milk the cows and how they put those section tubes around the tits. It was okay to watch but, man did it smell. Yuck! Then they showed us how they put sperm into a cow. They freeze the sperm and then when they need it, they would take it out and place it in a plastic tube. Then after that they place the plastic tube in a medal tube and then squirt the sperm in the cows vaginal area. I noticed how the cows pooped a lot. It was disgusting because it smelt. Then toward the end we got to pet the baby calves. They were so cute. At the end they gave everyone a bag field with somethings in it. Then we went back to school and went to class. On Thursday the 12th of May I went on a field trip with Beedle. He took his Spanish and Art class to see art at the county and a Museum of art in La Jolla. The art was really beautiful and I enjoyed learning about it. I know that we had a couple of complaints, that was because kids were being loud and misbehaving. That made us look bad. Then after that we went to the cliffs of La Jolla and ate lunch. It was a gorgeous view and smelt good. I even saw seals and one sea star. That was cool. I enjoyed the peaceful breeze and the wonderful smell of the ocean. I had fun overall. I am glad I went on the field trip.

Week and Rap

Quote, Summary, or Paraphrase Paragraph

Welcome students! Today, I am going to teach you about quotes, summary, and paraphrase paragraphs. Evidence is something that proves or supports a statement. You summarize evidence when it is at the end of a paragraph or paper. To summarize you restate your main points. You quote evidence when your evidence comes from a certain person or source. To use a quote you use quotation marks and you credit the source. You paraphrase evidence when putting them into your own words and you site down the source from where you got it from. To paraphrase you you break things out into your own words. To help you remember this, you should study what the words mean.

Research

Comment-Seeking Post

Well, the past week I have been trying to find the real meaning of a friend. I did not notice the definition until I had something happen. I learned that a friend would not lie and switch your words around to give you drama. They do not assume, but are willing to ask before starting something. I also learned that a friend is someone who is going to be there for you no matter what happens. I also learned that in a friendship there are no lies or keeping secrets. Until then and there I limited those who I hang around. I now hang with a nice group that are interested in school and have good grades. When I need help they are willing to sit down and listen. Then after all that they give me wise advice that was once told to them. I also learned the hardest part about a friend. Being a good friend is being a good person and not to lie to them even if it is the truth that will hurt, but lies hurt more then the truth. It was difficult to find but it was worth the search. I know that there is such thing as people calling each other best friends but to me it is hard to do. I know that I have one person who calls me best friend but she calls other people best friend as well. To me it is just keep it limited and make sure that they actually like you and not there to just hear your business. I learned it the hard way. I never took the easy way because then I will never learn from my mistakes. Over all friends is for ever while people are for notes and information. I know that the say sounds wrong but if you read it clear and know how to interpret it you will know that t is the truth.

President Obama’s Big Announcement

To learn about Osama bin Laden’s death, I read the news articles on the internet and learned that people around the U.S were in shock and some others were happy. Well some people were worried as well. First, US troops went out to try finding him, which took about ten and so years. Next, they had final found him in a house where their was clothes all over the floor and other stuff as well. Then,they saw him and shot him. He was dead and with his death it will lower the control of his group that he has. Finally, the news was reported back to Obama and he announced it to the people of the U.S. Now that I have read/watched the news, I predict that anger will increase in the people who fallow Bin laden and after all that it will be okay. One thing I predict is that people from his group will try to attack in the death of there leader. I think this will happen because there leader was shot and they would like revenge. Another thing I predict is after all that everything will calm down. I think this will happen because the people will become weak and not know what to do without Osama bin Laden. I hope that the people would be okay and no one would have to worry as much any more.

Posters in the Hall

No, I don't I think that it is okay. It is up to them to post what they want. I think that every person has there own words of wisdom to spread, no matter what race they are. I think that every one is equal and words are words that are said to help people. So matter what race they are it does not matter that the majority of the posters that are on the wall or from white men because there is a lot more then where that comes from. I think that every word of wisdom is something special and they were written for a reason and for someone that they know. Every poster that is in the hall way are picked by students who might not look deep enough to find that it is not just white men who write all the quotes it is also Native Americans, Mexicans, Indians, Chinese, and etc. So, I believe that it depends on who you know more and how well you know them. Also it is how far you decide to look. The quotes that I had posted are from Native Americans who have words to say and would like them to be shown to everyone who is willing to read and take the time to figure out what it means. Take those quotes that are in the hallway and use them for your selves, it can help you a lot.

CST Testing Reflection

As everyone knows we have all been having CST testing for the exception of the senors. In the beginning I was confident about it. Then it finally came, when I saw the test I was looking at it and saying "WOW, THAT IS A LOT OF READING", well that was only for the English section. I am not going to lie, I did guess on the majority of the questions. I did not feel like reading all of those stories. I bet it was easy if I had read it and not have guessed on the questions. Sorry Ms. Priester, I just was not that into it. After English I had math. I was not taking Geometry I was taking Algebra 2. That test was hard. I only have one advice for those who are taking it next year, "Pay attention or else you are going to regret not listening." I do wish I had payed more attention in class. I do not want to take that test again. As for History, I thought it was pretty easy, but that is just my opinion. Even though we did not get to World War Two, I still knew some what about it. I go ahead in the book to see what we learn and I just read the book. So I am pretty good about the History portion of the test. Over all testing has been very tiring. Tomorrow we all still have the science section of the CST's. I am not sure about that yet. So, I will have to see how well I will do.

So when I tell someone something, I expect them to keep what I say between us. I choose to trust someone but it is hard to know who to trust. I just always wonder what happens if I chose the wrong person to tell. Well I just get a person who is dishonest, a liar, not worthy, disloyal, unforgiving, not trusted, and just immature. But when I do find someone they are well trusted, honest, loyal, worthy, and mature. I like the second sentence better than the first. Sounds like a good person to me. Sometimes I just have to show some love and be dedicated to the ones who I can trust. So never underestimate a person just because you think you know them. There can be wearing a mask, and when it is taken off you will revile a very ugly person. That only has one word to describes it which is "FAKE."

Testing Tips, Strategies, and Plays Reflection

Knowing tips and strategies can help me a lot in testing. It helped me by doing better better on tests. I learned that if I read the questions before reading a prompt or a story it will prepare me to know what I am looking for when I read. I also learned that when I rush on a test it is because I am either rushing to finish first or because I get tired of the test so I just guess. I have to take my time but not to spend too much time on one question. I need to manage my time given wisely. Knowing play writing to help me know what part of speech or what person it is coming from. It can also help me by finding what type of format it is.

My Feelings about the Upcoming CSTs

Taking the CST's make me feel ready and not afraid. I know that I will do well even if I have to stay up to study for it. One experience that I had was with the CHASEE and I was worried at first but then when I started I noticed how easy it was and got through it. When I was taking the CHASEE I studied a lot to get prepared but I was studying for nothing. It was not a big deal. It did not take me that long to take. Actually I finished it early. So the CST's is not a big deal for me, well in my opinion. I just have to keep my confidence and I will do great.

On April 14 we had football sign ups after school. I saw the new uniforms and they look very nice. I am having my same number and got to pick my position, but I doubt that I will get it. I am so excited for the new season. We have new people on the team and it is back to eight man so it is a fresh start. I enjoy having a fresh start because things are more organized and plans are better. I am looking forward to it. Today is April 15 and my day is going good so far. Well, fifth period was nice but someone just kept on getting on my nerve's but that is okay because I get that a lot so I am just going to have to live with it. There is going to be more in the future. I am looking forward to lunch because that is like a recess time for me to just hang out and talk to friends that have funny and positive personalities. Man they are a funny group of people. They can make you laugh no matter what. I like them a lot. Today is also Friday and that means tomorrow is SPA Fest and I get to spend time with my sister and my niece so that is my high for the day until tomorrow. Then I actually get to see them. I love my niece a lot. Then Sunday I don't know what I get to do. I just will have to use my imagination to have a great day. Yup, I guess so. You know what I signed up for surfing but I don't know when it is, whether it is this Sunday or next Sunday. Oh, well I will find out sooner or later. I also can't wait for Prom, so many things just happening all at once. I am also excited about doing my English project which is finding out, "How does abortion emotionally impact a man?" I also have a play write project for English. Science I get to make a power point about drugs. I am researching Shrooms which are mushrooms. I thought it was something else and not that, I was wrong. I am excited about that too, I am learning knew things every day. My quote of the day: "You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him."
