"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.

"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.

"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.

“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.

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.

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

Free Post

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."

Free Write

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."

“Switch” Play Audience Member Experience

Today I went on a sophomore field trip to a foster play. We all had to be in the front of the school office by 8:15 and we took a bus. When we went on the bus we were able to sit with who ever we wanted to sit with. I had sat next to Alex. We played a couple of games on the way there. Miss. Priester had made a little play of her own which was really funny. When we got there I had ran into old friends which were foster youth who had emancipated from the system. Once we had got into the theater they sat us down and from there the play started. The part when the actor pretended to be a little boy getting taken away from CPS made me cry. It brought flashbacks and old feelings that were still kept in me. I though that the play was real and very emotional. I thought that the characters had played their roles very well. The writer of the play wrote this play to show people what foster children had been through or what they are going through now. Two actors knew about the system and two of the actors knew nothing about the system until they were asked to play the roles of foster children. These stories were lives of real foster children who had been through all that emotional destruction. It was very touching in my opinion. After the play, we left and we had pizza. I did not have anything to eat because It was my choice, but I was able to tell that it was good because my classmates went back for more or they were just hungry. I enjoyed the trip. I am glad that I chose to go instead of refusing like I was planning to do, but I had a great time. Then we went back on the bus and headed back to school. The bus ride back was fun too. I know that everyone had a good time, they probably thought it was better than being at SPA and going to class.

Fourth Quarter Kickoff Reflection

In the morning we were told that all grades were to go to there classes that they were told to go to. I am a sophomore so I went to the tech center in room 8 with the Coach Burgo. We watched a movie and ate popcorn during it. Toward the end we had to write down on a piece of paper what our goal for fourth quarter is. Then we folded them up and passed them to the teacher. Then the bell rang and we went to lunch. Lunch was fun because I had friends that are funny and are not afraid to show there personality. We played gold fish and black jack at the table we were all sitting.Then after we had to go to our teams. I was on team six. Our teachers were Mr. Orozco and Mrs. Ramirez. We played capture the flag in the GYM and we won that. Then we went to the softball field and played softball. That was fun. If we were to mess up Mr. Oroczo made us do ten push ups to correct our mistakes. We won that game too. Then we went to the football field to play relay races and we won those too which Mr. Orozco was happy about. Then when we were done we played Duck Duck Goose until the bell rang. The day was great and fun playing with people who liked to participate in the activities.

Fourth Quarter Goals

Fourth Quarter I plan to get a 4.0 GPA. In order for me to achieve that goal I need to

• get all my homework done and turned in on time

• stay more focused on school than what is going on around me

• study extra hard for test and stay up until all my homework is done.

Last quarter I was almost there but then toward the end I began to slack off. This quarter I am going to try hard and not make the same mistake twice. I want that 4.0 and I am going to get it by doing what I need to do in school.

Enlist Paragraph

If I was living during Vietnam War I would enlist because it would give me a chance to help serve my country under a good deed. I think that during that time their may have been a great deal of confusion but I would still join because I had wanted to be a Navy Seal but unfortunately they do not allow women to become one. Over all I would like to become apart of the Navy for then there will be no discrimination against women and I can be apart of the U.S Coast Guard. I would like to be a Marine but they do not send out women because men would prefer to have other men stand next to them because they think women can't handle it. My answer is yes because it would give me a bigger chance to be and have a say in government problems. I would also be notified about what is going on around the world. I would be able to learn military time and still be healthy. It would also give me a chance to learn the ways of nature and skills that can be handy to most people. I would be honored to enlist in the military or marine corps and die knowing I at least made an attempt to help the people in my country.
