“Through the Tunnel” Before You Read: Prove Yourself Paragraph

The experience happened right after we won or divisional championship football game against Julian Eagles on our home field. It was a cold and rainy day when we beat Julians football team 38 to 12 for the Division 5 championships and we were able to go to playoffs. The next game was against La Jolla country day a team that was really hard to beat so we had to practice really hard. We had to practice almost every day and pay really good attention to whatever the coach said in order to reach our goal. Honestly we didn’t get what we wanted because we lost but everyone on the team tried their best and that’s all the coach wanted to see. At the end I felt sad because the whole season we tried our best to go this far but ended the season. Now I feel good because we started off as an individual team but in the end we learned to play as a team.

First - Person Narration from Andrew’s Point of View
I woke up with a smile on my face because i knew today some of the San Pasqual students were going to the Jammer Dinner and I was one of them. I was more then  existed, I got up from my bed and took a shower, brushed my teeth before i started school. I went to my first class and I already wanted school to be over I went throw my day thinking about how much fun it was going to be, I was more existed because of all the food that there were going to be and how I’m going to pig out. school went by slow by my day was almost over. We has 10 seconds before school was over I was counting down till I hared the bell ring. The moment the bell rang I ran to my house to get everything ready.

Third-Person Limited Narrator
It was five o’clock when I started to board the bus that would take everyone to a place called the Hall of champions for the thanksgiving dinner. the bus i was one was completely packed with students that were dressed nice and some were dressed casual.On the way there i was listening to music and thinking about what I'm going to do when i get there. It took us about an hour to get to the Hall of Champions because it was all the way in San Diego, but when we got there you could tell there was a lot of people attending the dinner because there were a lot of cars in the parking lot, and there were a lot of people in the doorway of the big building.
When the adults gave us permission to get off the bus I got up and waited patiently till it was my turn to get of the bus so i could stretch out my legs because my legs were starting too lose feeling in them. when everyone was off the bus i started to walk in to the building when i had to stop because everyone was told to be seated and then we could walk around. while everyone was walking around I sat down at my table and watched as everybody was roaming around. everyone was wondering around for a good half an hour when they were told to be seated so Alicia and Quentin Jammer can give a quick announcement then we could get our food. After the Jammer family finished with their announcement i got my food and sat back down at my table where I got to eat. while i was eating a man went up to the podium where he gave a brief story on his life and a demonstration on what he does for a living which i thought was pretty cool.

When everyone was done eating we were told that there were going to be kids preforming a dance performance before we leave so i started to move my seat in front of the crowd so I could see the show better. after their dance performance was over everyone got to take a picture with the friends of San Pasqual, and the Jammer Foundation. when we were done with the pictures i was told that everyone was getting on the bus so I decided to walk balk to the bus so we could go back to our campus. overall it was a good thanks giving dinner.

Narrator Expository Paragraph
A narrator can influence how much a reader understands the story and get a clear picture of the story.For example, in first-person narration the narrator tells the story from one characters point of view and says how the character feels. But in third-person limited/omniscient narration the narrator tells the story from all points of view so the readers know what the characters are feeling and thinking. The difference is that in first person the narrator tells the story from one characters point of view and only tells the reader how that one character feels like, and in third person narration the narrator tells the story from all characters point of view and tells the readers what all the characters are feeling and thinking.The third-person limited narrator/omniscient is more credible because the story is told from all characters point of view so the readers can know what the characters are feeling and what they are thinking. Many reader enjoy reading stories written using first person narration because the whole story is told from one characters point of view and tells the readers how only one character feels and what one character thinks...

Biographical Narrative


Phil
On our campus we got a new staff who use to play in the NFL his name is Phil and if you think about it you will know who he is because he stands out because he is a big guy. He started working here a couple of weeks ago after being a NFL player who was on a couple of teams like the San Diego Charger, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Cleveland Browns. A lot of people are drawn to Phil because his past career but if you talk to him about something else like why he chose to work here instead of playing football he will talk to you and tell you that he wanted to work with kids and that he cares a lot about us.
It was a calm Monday night I was wrestling with the other staff during study hour because I wanted to take a break from studying and I had a lot of energy and Phil didn’t say anything because he was watching TV. After a while he told me if I didn’t do my study hour my homework wouldn’t get finished and I would have to study longer. For a while I thought about it and he was right so I stopped messing around and finished my homework .After I was done I started wrestling again because I got all my work done and wouldn’t have to worry about it later.
Thursday night the breeze felt good and you could smell the citric in the air. I was wondering out front of campus because the weather felt good but I was not checking in with my house. So as I got to the boys Rec Phil stopped me and said that I need to check in with my staff once in a while because they are looking for me and if I didn’t was going to be on restriction the next day, he also said that he doesn’t want me to be on restriction especial on a Friday because I could be speeding time with my friends instead of being in the house because I wasn’t checking in with my staff. So after he told me that I thought to myself that he was right because on Friday nights I could be outside doing fun stuff with my friends instead of being bored in my house because I chose to not check in. so listened to him and checked in the whole time and I got to stay out on Friday.
On a crazy Friday night I was in my house being irritating and messing around because I was mad and didn’t want to listen to the staff that was in my house. So my staff had Phil come in and calm me down because I was throwing a football in the house, jumping off the couches and changing the channel when people were trying to watch TV. So Phil came in my house and he told me that if I didn’t calm down I would be on restriction, So I decided to calm down until it was time to go outside because I didn’t want to give him a hard time and he was one of the staff I think is pretty cool.
Phil’s careness has helped me to be a better and more mature person because I noticed that my actions can impact on the things my house wants to do for a fun activity, like go to the gym or go on an outing. If Phil didn’t care for me or the whole house we wouldn’t be able to do family night with other houses or go on outings as a house.

"The Storyteller" Another Point of View

I was sitting on the train on my way to temple calm station and in the both next tom me I saw what looks to be a mother with her three children but that wasn’t the mother it was their aunt. the kids were giving their aunt a hard time because they were singing, smacking the seat making dust to come out the seat, and running around. So I just stood there and listened to their try and calm them down by telling them a story. When she started telling the story the kids went straight into asking questions like they were trying to get her mad and it was kind of funny but she answered them and started again and was interrupted by more questions. Finally I got tired of the interruptions so I decided to tell the aunt that she was a bad story teller and she told me to try and tell them a story so I did. As I sat on the seat with the kids I told them a story about a girl named bertha and she was a very good girl but her goodness got her eaten by a wolf in the prince’s palace. After the story the aunt tried to say I was a bad story teller and I said at least I kept them quiet for ten minutes and then I got off the train.

The Storyteller" Before You Read: Memorable Books from My Childhood

My top five books I read when I was little were Goodnight Moon by Margeret Wise Brown, Gree eggs and ham By Dr. Seuss, Little mouse by jeff smith, If you gave a mouse a cookie by felicia Bond, and the giving tree by Shel silverstine. The book i like the most is Green eggs and ham by dr. seuss because every where the character the other character would ask if he wanted to try green eggs and ham no matter where he was at because he really wanted him to try it. so when the other character got tierd of getting asked if he wanted green ggs and ham he decides to try it and is suprised because he likes the green eggs and ham

Academic Language Practice Paragaph 9

In my opinion I think junk food shouldn’t be banned from school vending machines because most of the time the money that goes into the machine ends up going to school funds because it’s another STRATEGY a long side fundraisers. I also think it shouldn’t be banned because the food in the machines could be an ALTERNATIVE instead of the lunch or breakfast the school serves. One last reason junk food shouldn’t be banned is because the machines have been in the school for a while and it wasn’t a problem in PREVIOUS years. So that is why I think junk food shouldn’t be banned from school vending machines.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 8: Friends or Adults?

In my life, caring adults are more important because they care about me and the mistakes I make in my life. One reason is if adults didn’t care about me and what I do I would be some teenage boy that always gets into trouble and is a bad influence on kids that are trying to do good things instead of bad. Additionally adults that care for their kids are doing the right thing for their children because they are getting them a good education. One last reason is if all the adults didn’t care about what kids do in their life and let them go around doing whatever they wanted to do who knows what might happen. I let these people know I appreciate them by always listening to them and doing what they tell me to do because they always listen to me when I have something to say and they help me out when I have a problem or if I’m in a tough situation.

Biographical Narratives - Housemates Character Traits

Carlos R is very isolated because all he does is play video games in his room. The only time I see him Is when he comes out his room to eat and when he gets boerd of games. Rigo is very bold. I chose the trait bold because every time someone tells him something he has something rude to say. Carlos G is very artistic becasue when he has time to draw he will take that time to draw something and make it look good. Brian B is very ignorant because when he is told something most of the he will do the opposite just to get a reaction out of that person. Drew is very humoris because everyday when he is in class he will always crack jokes and make people laugh and some teachers laugh with the students. Michael is very melow person because he is not mean but could be at some point in time if you talk a lot of smack to him. And Tamarcus is very argumentitive because every time someone says something he will put his opinion in and argue with that person if he tinks the person is wrong.

Internet Safety Project - Public or Private Profile

Teenagers should set their networking profiles to private for their own safety. Students should set their profiles to private because if they have a friend or person that is looking for them they could easily go on the computer and Google up your name and your profile might pop up. Students should put their profiles on private because all their business is out for the whole world to see and if they accept someone they don’t know they could be in real big trouble because that person could be a kidnapper or a criminal. If a student doesn’t put their profile on private then I recommend they should because I know they don’t want their business to go out to the whole world, I would take advantage of the privacy police they have for social networks because it allows you to chose who you want to accept people you know and not some strangers.

Academic Language Practice Paragaph 7

In my opinion I think the popularity of vampires in literature and movies are fading away because not a lot of movies have PLOTS with vampires in them. The reason movies don’t have vampires in them is because ever since Dracula a lot of movie directors are trying way to hard to keep the vampire stage alive but its just getting old and vampire movies aren’t a FACTOR now. One last reason I think the popularity of vampires is fading away is because before people use to like talking about them and writing about so people could be fascinated about the subject but now its old they don’t have a VOICE in the subject any more those are some of my opinions about the popularity of vampire fading away.

"two kinds"analys paragraph

In the story "two kinds" jing mei is the main character and one trait that describes her is disrespectful. The reason that I choose this trait is because whenever her mom wants her to try something new she always talks to he mom in a rude way instead on telling her mom in a nice way that she doesn't think her idea is a good idea.
Jing meis actions towards her mother are unnecessary because she could talk to her mom in a polite tone of voice instead of shouting and disrespecting her mom every time her mom chooses an idea for her daughter of becoming a prodigy.Jing meis appearance is she is a small Chinese girl with a messed uP hair cut because her mom wanted her to be like sherrly temple. Some of her thought are that she will never be a prodigy of anything because she never wants to listen to her mom. Some feelings she has is that she feels like her mother is trying to boss her around and she doesn't like it.One thing jing mei said in the story is that she wishes she was dead like her other siblings after her mother forces her to play the piano after a bad recital she had the day before.jing mei is like a real person because there are people in the world that don't like to try in anything they do.

" two kinds " mother daughter conflict

The conflict between Jung-mei and her mother is that her mother wanted her to be a perfect prodigy like all the other little kids that she reads about in some of the magazines she reads. For example she wants king mei to be a prodigy of sherrly temple so she cuts her hair and ends up giving her a bad hair cut. This shows that all the mother wants to do is find something her daughter is good at. This also shows that Ning mei can't be a prodigy of sherrly temple because she has a bad hair cut and she can't sing.In addition her mother sighns her daughter up for piano lessons.This shows that if her mother thInks that her daughter isn't good at singing then she could be good at playing the piano. This also shows that all her mother wants to do is find something her daughter is good at because she wants her daughter to be a prodigy like other kids she reads about n magazines.Jing mei and her mOthers actions are different because her mother wants her to do something that will make her succesful but king mei doesn't take anything serious.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 6: Campus Donations

I feel very grateful about the people who donate money and supplies to San Pasqual Academy because it shows that they care for kids like us and that we don’t have to use old supplies that are on the verge of breaking because we used them for so long. And when they donate things like the football field it makes me feel thankful because if it wasn’t for them the whole team would have to go all the way to Romana for home games but now that we have a field on campus we don’t have to travel that far. I also feel grateful because if the people who donated thing to us didn’t care then we wouldn’t have the proms that we have every year, and we wouldn’t have most of the campus because this whole campus was built off of donations people gave to SPA.

Academic Language Practice Paragaph 6

Undocumented immigrates shouldn’t be given citizenship because it’s not fair that regular citizens have to work hard and pay taxes when they could just come here and not have to pay taxes like everybody else. Its also not fair because some people that are looking really hard for a job gets their opportunity taken away by someone that comes to California by illegal SEQUENCES. Also if a citizen gets pulled over by a police officer they are asked to give their license and registration to VERIFY their identity but if an illegal citizen is asked they can give it to the officer without worrying because they could get a license and ID in the state of California. One last reason undocumented immigrants shouldn’t be given citizenship is because they could just come here and SIMPLY be named a citizen when a lot of people are trying their best to be named a legal citizen.

"Two Kinds" Jing-Mei's Shoes Paragraph

If someone was pushing me to become a prodigy piano player I would feel overwhelmed. I would react as if at first I liked the lessons but if I truly didn’t want to be a piano player I would stop going to the lesson because I know suck and it’s not my thing. I would tell the person that I will go and try it out. And after a couple of days of going if I liked the lessons I would g but if I didn’t like the lessons I would drop out. And if I do drop out I would tell the person that I was sorry and it wasn’t my thing. Becoming a prodigy would sort of help me because I would be doing something I like and something I’m really good at. But it would also harm me because it would make me feel like I’m letting people down by not being what they wanted me to be.

"two kinds" something you didnt want to do

I was in an alley behind my cousin’s house. We were playing with fire works and cherry bombs and he decided to get the idea of put cherry bombs and other fireworks in a glass bottle and throw them in the neighbor’s back yard. The problem was I didn’t think he would have me throw the bottle over the gate I expected him to do it because he came up with the idea. At first I felt scared because I thought the neighbor might be right there and when I threw the bottle he would come out and catch us. But after everything I ended up throwing the bottle over the fence because I couldn’t handle pure pressure that good. I felt kind of ashamed because the bottle exploded and shattered all over his back yard.

Academic Language Practice Paragaph 5

Vaccinations should be required for all children because some parents and cautious about their Childs health in a POSITIVE way, so a parent might want to give their child vaccines just to be safe. Another reason vaccines should be required is because if a kid doesn’t get a vaccine ESTIMATE how many schools the child will get enrolled in. One last reason vaccines should be required is because if a child doesn’t get a vaccine when they are little and their parents try and enroll them in school they wont be able to get in because they didn’t get the proper vaccines and how does that ILLUSTRATE the parent

"Everyday Use" Before You Read: Tradition

Fifteen years from now, I will wake my kids up early in the morning on Christmas day and tell them that Santa left presents for them under the tree. This tradition involves me wrapping the kids gifts when they are sleeping and when I’m done put them under the tree early in the morning before they wake up. One of my happy memories of this tradition is that my dad and grandma did this for me and my brother, and when we woke up we were super excited to open our presents that we just ripped open the gift wrap to see what was inside. I will share this with my children by doing the same thing my dad and grandma did. By sharing this tradition with the future generation, I hope that my kids will do the same with their children and so on and so forth.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 5: Life Lesson

A life lesson I learned the hard way is what comes around goes around but twice as worse. I used to think smacking my little cousins and brother in the back of their heads every time we played tag would be funny so I would smack them super hard and then I would laugh at them.  Then one day when we were playing I was looking for my cousin because he was it all of a sudden I felt a really hard thump on the back of my head and I fell to the floor grabbing my head and it turns out my little cousin grabbed a dictionary that was on the shelf and smacked my in the head with it as hard as he could and laughed at me. Now I know every time I do something to someone be careful because it might happen to me but worse.

Dragons den power outage

On Thursday evening, I was out front watching the football team practice when suddenly someone told me that the volleyball team was playing in the gym without lights. In response I said why and I was then told that the power was shut off. Then I went to the gym because I had to work in the snack bar and saw that they were really playing in the dark. Later on I went home and was told that there is something going on in the café because the lights went out. When the power came back on, I woke up because before I went to sleep I turned my light switch on but forgot the power was out so while I was asleep the lights turned on and woke me up

“The Pedestrian” Before You Read: Life in 2053

In 2053 life in America might be awesome because by then they might have flying cars and new sports some people will never know. In 2053 people are looking forward to flying cars because in some of the movies like “Robo Cop” they have flying cars and robots as cops so that is why they might be looking forward to flying cars. And America might have new sports because we have football now but imagine football in 53 year what it would be like. The players with high tech gear and cleats, playing in a stadium that fits one billion people in it that would be exciting to attend and see how the game transformed.

“The Contents of the Dead Man’s Pocket” Minute Paragraph

I was getting warmed up for my first high school football game against Cali patria hornets. I saw the fans that were coming to support our team and I saw some other fans sitting in the stands with posters for the players. I also saw the other team warming up on the other side of the field just like we were, but some of their players were talking to their coach and some were just stretching individually. During that time I was thinking about what I will do if I drop and easy pass or if I fumble the ball when we need the first down really bad. I was also thinking what will happen if I got injured because that was my biggest fear me getting injured in a game and not being able to play for the whole season.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 2: Shoes

My favorite shoe brand has to be a tie between Nikes and Jordan’s. The reason it’s a tie is because Nikes have shoes that look good for going out to the movies or a special dinner and they also have shoes that look good for playing basketball or any indoor sports. But Jordan’s are the same because they have shoes that are good for dinners, going on dates and for playing basketball also. But those aren’t the only reason I like those shoes I like them because their shoe designs are nice and unique that’s what makes me like their shoes. Nikes have the check mark and they make it look good on any shoe with any color and Jordan’s have the Michael Jordan symbol on the side of their shoes and they also make it look good on all of their shoes with any color. So those are my favorite shoe brands.

“Contents of the Dead Man’s Pocket” My Yellow Paper Paragraph

The item I would risk my life for would be a picture of my dad and grandma. One reason why I would risk my life for the picture is because ever since I was a little kid my dad and grandma were the two people that raised me because my mom left the day after I was born. Another reason is because they both passed away when I was seven years old and now that is the only thing I have to remember them. One last reason I would risk my life is because I think anyone would risk their lives for a picture with their grandma and dad if it’s the only memory they had of them. I keep the picture in a safe place everyday and when I get back from going somewhere I look to make sure its there so that is how I keep my item safe.

Response to Priester's Syllabus

I feel very excited about English 10 because last year I learned a lot of stuff I didn’t know before so I am kind of curious about what we might learn this year. The class work says we’re going to be doing sounds like its going to be difficult. An other thing I saw on the syllabus was the class room expectations; I know I am capable of follow the expectations because I barely had any problems in last years class. I know I can do a better job when I read the list because it motivates me to do a good job on my work. I hope I can maintain above a 2. GPA this year, but I have to work even harder then I did last year because I am on the football team and I was to play all the years I’m here.

Dragons Den: Colors

A color that represents me is red because I have a lot of anger and to me red is a color that stands for anger. I am similar to this color because there are different shades of red and like me there are times where I could be calm but I can also reach the point where I get really mad. This color represents all my anger and frustration that built up all these years. This color is symbolic of all my anger because ever since my big brother and I were little kids we always had anger problems but since we’ve grown up we learned how to control our anger a little bit but there are certain things that could get us mad. If you are around me a lot, you will see this color in me because there are those people that know that I get mad easy and they try and test me but since I learned how to control my anger I just let it go, but if it’s something personal or unnecessary then I might get really upset.

Plot Lesson

Plot: Movie Plot Summary Paragraph

In the movie the “Gridiron Gang” the setting takes place in Kilpatrick juvenile detention center in Long Beach California. Some character that play in this movie some characters are (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) as Sean Porter the head coach, Jade Yorker as (Willie Parker) the star running back , and James Earl as (Donald Madlock) as star tight end. The conflict in the movie is some of the supervisor and Sean Porter see the lack of discipline, self-esteem in some of the teenage so they try and prepare a football team so they could try and play in one league with other private schools that are willing to play against them. But at first the idea wasn’t going the way the coach wanted it to because some of the private schools didn’t want to play them because they were a bunch of criminals and felons. But they convinced some of the teams to change their mind, and they did. At first the team was losing all their games because they were playing as individuals instead of a team but later on in the season they started becoming a team, and a family and then they started winning. Next thing they new they were in the championship game. Later I noticed that the team was changing their lives. At the climax of the action all their hard work paid off by helping them win the championship game. At the conclusion of the movie most of the kids on the football team either got out of games and got jobs, or went back to their games and ended up in jail.

First Day of School Paragraph 2011

 When I woke up for the first day of my second year of school at San Pasqual Academy I took a shower and went to the café to eat breakfast before starting class. Then I heard the bell ring so I threw away all my trash, put my backpack on and was off to my first class which is Algebra 1.  Later on in the day I went to my ASB class which was on the other side of campus in the tech center, and when I got there I got to meet the new teach his name was Mr. Kruger and he teaches ASB, World history, and Geography. Towards the end of the day I was getting excited because the first day of school was going to end and I finished the day strong and paid attention to the rules the teacher had for their class. At the end of the day I went home from dance class and I got ready for two and a half hours off football practice.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Final Draft

When an athlete is really good at a sport that’s all they think about . what they aren't thinking about Is if the career is good for them. When it comes to sports some people think diffrent things. kids play sports when they are younger from football to water polo, because their parents want them to be an active child. when kids get to the age where they start to notice that playing sport is what they like they might see it being a goal. Other kids might think that they are not good at sports and might just focus on school. playing sports can be a successful career because people can have things like fame, money, and can accomplish their goals, but sports can also be a unsuccessful career because people can get really hurt and wont be able to do anything that involves their legs.

Playing sports can be a successful career, according to New York times writer Rodney after an athlete retires after having a good career they try and spend some time playing the sport they use to play because they love the game so much. according to Josh from sports success "Ever since I was little I thought about the sport a lot so I set a goal and accomplished it." Michael Jordan said "after retiring my life has gone good I have fans, fame, and I changed the game. what else can I ask for?"  Those are some reasons why playing sports can be a successful career.            

Playing sports can be an unsuccessful career because in contact sports like football peoples careers can end in just on play from a little stinger to a devistating hit. Pro wide receiver Isaac Bruce said " when I was going up for the winning catch I thought we are going to win and then my lights went out .” Careers can be ended or crushed by hard hits. Another reason playing sports is an unsuccessful career according to an article in Sports illustrated is because when an athlete retires it’s hard for them to go out into public without getting bombarded by a group of reporters. playing sports can be an unsuccessful career because an athlete loses not only the sport but they also lose teammates, and coaches. Those are some reasons why playing sports can be an unsuccessful career.    

            When it comes to sports as a career some people think it’s a good career but not everybody thinks the same. There are people that think it’s a bad career because of the past. Some athletes said that “In this game injuries are bound to happen because it’s a contact sport. some hits can be a career ender, or some hits might sting a little bit and end up on channel five. Athletes train almost daily on perfecting skills and techniques required for their particular sport. Some skills such as team-work can be used in new areas, and there is likely to be new resources and skills required for thoses new jobs. Those are some reasons why sports careers can be a good and bad thing.

           
Playing sports as a career can be good and bad. It's good because people had fame, fans, and accomplished a goal. But it's also bad because people’s careers ended from one injury. So that is why playing sports as a career can be a good and bad. When the word sport comes to peoples mind people think different. Some people think that it can be good because it’s a high paying job, and most of all it can be a life accomplishing goal. And other people think that it’s just a bad idea because of the career ending injuries, or the hassle it can give to retired players. When playing sports as a career people might think it can be a good career because it gives people reputation, and they can help other communities with foundations or fundraisers. And some people think its bad because people can get hurt, retirement can also be bad for players that love for the game, and some also lose people that are close to them like their coach. playing sports can be a successful career if people are up to accomplishing and succeeding a goal.

Portfolio - Future

I feel good about my future. One of my biggest goals in the future is to go to Cal State Los Angles for all four years to play basketball and football. Before playing any sports I’m going to make sure that I’m going to stay eligible to play for all four years. My career plan is to be drafted to play professional football or basketball if not that then major in sports medicine. I chose to major in sports medicine because I have been playing sports for a long time and I know what to do if you are injured like with a sprained ankle or elbow or even if you have a back or rib injury. I have to work on keeping my grades up and paying attention to my teachers because they could really help me. Some people that will help me on achieving these are my science teacher, my math teacher , and my English teacher I chosen these teachers because I think these are some of the teachers that believe I can achieve these goals if I really reach for it. I believe I will achieve this goal because I can get really far if I work to my full potential in every class and subject from here to college.

Portfolio – Greatest High School Accomplishment - 9th

The incident happened in geometry my fifth period class. In geometry I really didn’t like doing my work because I thought it was kind of hard so I just pushed the homework aside and worked on something else. But sooner or later I noticed that I wasn’t passing the class because I never turned in the homework and it was really close for grades to come out so I had to do something fast about my grade. So the next day I went straight to my geometry teacher and asked if there is anything I could do to bring my grade up before grades go out and he said yes and gave me some make up work to do. So when I got the make up sheets I went straight to work and the next day I turned in all the worksheets that he gave me and told me that I grade went from a F to  a C  and I was super happy. The incident changed me because I use to think geometry is hard but the problem was me. I wasn’t working to my full potential.

The incident happened in the end of second quarter during Ms. Priesters English 9 class. It was the end of the second quarter and Ms. Priesters English 9 class was assigned a project telling everybody what we learned in the second quarter and was due in a week. So I thought to myself that I had a lot of time so I didn’t do it all I did was sit around and procrastinate. But after four or five days I started thinking about getting started so that’s what I did but I needed more time but I didn’t want to ask Ms. Priester because it was my fault for not working on it while I had time so I worked on it when I had extra  time in class and also at night so I could get a good graade on it. So finally when I was finished it was the night before it was due so I turned it in and went to sleep not worrying about my project because I got it done. The incident changed me because I stopped taking my time on some projects and I take my time to work on it instead of waiting till the last second to turn it in.

Romeo and Juliet - Day 6 - Wrap Up Paragraph

The people that are responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s death are Friar Lawrence and the kid that told Romeo that Juliet was dead.  One reason Friar Lawrence is responsible for Romeos death is because when he saw Romeo go to Juliet he could have told him that she was just in a comma and she is not really dead. Another  reason the kid that was suppose to tell Romeo that Juliet was still alive didn’t tell him that the plan was to put Juliet in a comma so they could see each other again and then they could leave but he told Romeo that she was really dead. One last reason why both of them are responsible for their death is because they both could have told Romeo that Juliet would wake up in five minutes so he wouldn’t kill himself but they didn’t so there for Romeo killed himself and Juliet followed him and killed herself. This topic is important because Romeo and Juliet is one of the worlds greats love and romance plays .

Romeo and Juliet - Acts 4-5 - Cause of Deaths

Romeo and Juliet both die do to human mistakes. When Juliet died the first time everyone thought she really died but she was just in a comma so she could be with Romeo when she wakes up but all she did was have Romeo kill him. Another example is when Romeo died from a human mistake because he didn’t receive the letter that told him that Juliet was in a comma so he automatically thought she was dead so he drank a vile of poison and died. Another example is when Juliet woke up from her comma she found Romeo dead on the floor and she tried to take some poison that she thought was on his lips but there wasn’t any so instead she stabbed herself with Romeos knife. The story relates to real life because some people can be really in love with someone that they will do whatever it takes to be with that person no matter what anybody says or does.

Romeo and Juliet - Act 3 - Rage

The negative consequences of rage is family members can get furious with each other, people can get really hurt or killed, and some people can be held with serious charges if they let their rage get to them.  One example of rage is when Juliet’s dad got furious with her when she told him that she wasn’t going to marry Paris.  Another reason is when Romeo was fighting tibblet because he killed marcusho and tibblet ended up getting killed. And another reason is after Romeo killed tibblet he went into hiding and the prince told everybody that if he was to be seen he was to be charged with murder. This story is related to now because people get hurt because of gangs, and when a person kills someone they run away so they won’t get caught but then they get charged with murder.

Romeo and Juliet – True Love or Forbidden Love

I think they are both doing it because they love each other and if they do get married then maybe their families can stop arguing a lot. I think they are doing that because they are willing to get married in order to make peace between both families. They are also getting married because they both see that they love each other and see something special in each other. Another reason they want to get married is because they think if they get married that their parent will be happy because they are married. I think their love might last. The reason I say might is because what if one of their parents convince them to get a devoice and they do.

Romeo and Juliet Love at First Sight

The problem with Romeo and Juliet falling in love at first sight is that, they were from the fighting families. Romeo should have never sneaked into the ball, where he saw Juliet. They also aren't allowed to talk to each other; while they do talk they are betraying their families. Juliet is supposed to be married to another guy and she doesn’t love him. Juliet wants to be with Romeo and Romeo wants to be with Juliet. This connects to modern life because when people are in love, sometimes they can’t be together because of family problems or because they just can’t be because of other people.

Romeo and Juliet – Conflict in Verona and San Diego

The conflicts that happen in Verona during Romeo and Juliet's time is like any conflict.  fighting between families or groups, like gangs. They both fall in love with someone they don't know like kids at San Pasqual Academy. They also have parents that are trying to make them marry diffrent people, or do things they want. For all these reasons both their families are in a feud, Romeo is in love with a girl, and Juliet is supposed to be married to a older guy that she hardly knows. This connects because we see that around us every where we go. 

Romeo and Juliet control or fate

I think people control their own destinies.  The reason why I think people control their own destiny is because people know the right decisions and the bad decisions. Another reason why is because if people didn’t chose for themselves then other people will be choosing their fate for them. And one last reason why I think people chose their own fate is because when people make a decision they must think ahead of time and see if it’s good for them or bad. Romeo and Juliet do die as a result of their own control because they both fell deeply in love with each other that they both killed themselves.

Yes I attended the 2011 prom. Our school prom took place at Hotel Del Coronado. I went in a black and red tuxedo. My date was Tierra and she wore a black dress with a red scarf, and a black and silver mask.

Who was William Shakespeare? William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's preeminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet. His surviving works, including 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later. The reason why this topic is important is because most of the plays that he wrote were copied and retold. And the books he wrote they were also copied and published all around the world.

"Romeo & Juliet Before" Paragraph

What I know about "Romeo and Juliet" is that they are two young lovers that fall in love and sooner or later Romeo dies and Juliet notices that she really wants to be with Romeo forever so she kills herself. Now when it comes to Shakespear I dont know alot all I know is that he wrote a lot of books. Three questions I have about Romeo and Juliet is 1) How do they fall in love? 2)  Does Romeo die for Juliet? 3) Does this inspire some readers.

Drama / Romeo & Juliet Word Cloud - Before

First draft

When an athlete is really good at a sport that’s all they think about but what they aren't thinking about Is the career good for them so they can provide for their family, and also be happy with their job, or is it just a dream crushing sport that might end all their dreams forever? When it comes to sports some people think it’s not a great idea for a career because of the injuries that occur. But to tell the truth if people know how to play the game and know what they are doing then they will be fine. Many kids play sports when they are younger from football to baseball because their parents want them to be an active child while they are young. so when kids get to the age where they start to notice that they love playing sport they might see as being a pro one day a goal. But other kids might think that sports are not their thing and might just stick to the book. playing sports can be a successful career because people can have fame, money, and can accomplish their goals, but sports can also be a unsuccessful career because people can end up in a wheel chair, or wont even be able to accomplish any dreams they used to dream about.



Playing sports can be a successful career. After an athlete retires after having such a good career they try and spend some extra time playing the sport they use to play because they loved the game so much. A successful athlete said "Ever since I was little I dreamed about playing the sport and I set a goal to go pro and accomplished it." Another athlete said "after retiring from the game my life has gone good I got fans, fame, and I changed the game what else can I ask for?" Those are some reasons why playing sports can be a successful career.

Playing sports can also be an unsuccessful career because in a contact sport like football peoples careers can end in just on play from a surprising catch, to a devastating hit. Isaac Bruce all pro wide receiver said " when I was going up for the game winning catch I said to myself , " yes we are going to win" and then CRACK!!! My lights went out and later I noticed that my career was over like that." Careers can be ended or crushed by a hard hit like this one. Another reason playing sports is an unsuccessful career is because when an athlete retires it can be hard for them to go out into public without getting bombarded by a group of reporters. Asking how they felt after the injury or retirement. One last reason playing sports can be an unsuccessful career is because an athlete loses more then the activity of the sport after they retire. They also lose teammates, coaches, and all those involved in helping the athlete to succeed. Those are some reasons why playing sports can be an unsuccessful career.



When it comes to sports as a career there are many people in the world that think it’s a good career. But not everybody thinks the same there are people that think it’s a bad career because of the past. Some athletes said that “In this game injuries are bound to happen because it’s a contact sport. It’s just that some hits can be a career ender, or the hit might sting a little bit and end up on channel five for top ten highlights. Athletes train almost daily on perfecting skills and techniques required for their particular sport. Some skills such as team-work can be used in new areas, and there is likely to be new resources and skills required for their new job. When athletes get hurt the injury is most likely going to happen in a game it is rare for an athlete to get hurt during practice. But if an athlete was to get hurt in a game the injuries would verify from an ankle sprain to a career ending concussion. Those are some reasons why sports careers can be a good and bad thing.



Playing sports as a career can be good and bad. It's good because people can say they had fame, fans, and accomplished a goal. But it's also bad because people’s career can end in just one play or by one injury. So that is why playing sports as a career can be a good and bad career. When the word sport comes to peoples mind about a career people think many different things. Some people think that it can be good because it’s a shape keeping job, it gives people fame and fans, and most of all it can be a life accomplishing goal. On the other hand people think that it’s just a bad idea because of the career ending injuries, or the hassle it can give to retired players. When people think of sports some might think it can be a good career because it keeps people in shape, gives people fame and fans, and most of all they can help other people with foundations or fundraisers. And on the other hand some people think its bad because people can get hurt, retirement can also be bad for players that have a lot of love for the game, and pros also lose some people that are close to them like their coach, but playing sports can be a successful career if people and athletes are up to accomplishing and succeeding the goal.

summarize, Paraphrase, and Quote Peers’ Posts

As we all may not know, it is extremely important to know how to quote people of saying's you have used, to be able to summarize a book, or even paraphrase it. A quote would be needed to give a writer and communicator his or her credit for what they have said. Otherwise it would be considered plagiarism if you didn't. A summary comes important when a friend asks you about a movie you just saw and what it was about. Some may not have time for a full summary so they can just give you the main ideas of the movie with a paraphrase. This may sound the introduction to my lesson but this is it! It is this simple! To summarize is to restate the story, a paraphrase is the restating of main ideas, and a quote is something said by someone else. Just go over this a couple times and I'm sure you will get the hang of this!

San Diego County Third-Person Paragraph

When people attend a Padres or Chargers game they should be super happy especially if it’s their first time because they get to watch the two different teams play in the same stadium and not in front of the TV they got in the living room. Also when people attend a padres or chargers game they should be thankful that they get to see pro athletes perform and be able to watch them on the field because if the athletes didn’t have a game that day then they would have to stay home and do something else. When attending a padres or chargers game people should limit their drinking because people might bring their kids or little siblings and it’s not good if people are getting drunk and starting fights in front of little kids especially at a sports game. Also when attending a padres or chargers game people should be grateful that they are at the game because someone else could have taken their spot or seat so that is why people should be thankful when they attend a padres or chargers game.

Free Write

Today is a free write so I am choosing to write about how kids on this campus need to stop complaining about little things. I am choosing this topic because today I noticed that there was a JR in my sixth period class that was complaining about a subject we were talking about because he couldn’t accept the fact that he was wrong so he made a bid deal about it. And honestly to tell you the truth he acts childish a lot.  Another reason why I am choosing this topic is because kids on this campus have to see that this place is better then most place. Most places kids can’t use computers, phones, sleep with the door closed, and in some places kids have to ask before taking a shower. Unlike SPA we are allowed to have our phones, computers, we can sleep with our doors closed and we don’t have to ask before taking a shower. That is why kids on campus need to stop complaining about little things that don’t need to be argued about.

President Obama’s Big Announcement

To learn about Osama bin Laden’s death I was told by a supervisor while I was lying down on the girls rec couch. In my mind I was thinking that we finally caught the master mined behind the tragedy of 9/11. first US troops were searching for him after the 9/11 attack, next they were sent to Afghanistan, then they were given a tip that he was hiding out in Pakistan, finally the Navy Seals took charge and took down the al-Qaida leader. Now I am starting to think that the US can focus on other things then terrorism.

  Now that I have read and watched the news, I predict that since the US took out Osama bin Laden that the terrorist might try and attack the US for revenge. One thing I predict is that terrorist might go for the same targets they went for last time to try and get their point across to America again. I think it will happen again because they did it once and we ended up killing their leader so for revenge they might go for the same target again. Another thing I predict is the terrorist level in the US will go up a lot because of what happened to the Al-Qaida leader. I think this might happen because the US and the president might want to be aware and make sure that no terrorist attacks will take place in the future. I hope that nothing happens to the US because what happened to Osama bin Laden was necessary because that man killed innocent people just to try and get his point across to America.

Posters in the Hall

The reason why it is wrong to just have a white men’s quote on the wall is because not just white men have good quotes some people are Michael Jordan, Malcolm X, martin Luther king jr, tupac. Another reason why it might be wrong is because what if someone thought it might be a little bit rasist and started flipping out. So that is why it is good to have quotes from different colored people so some people won’t get offended. Because I know some people that will get super mad if they think something is racists because it’s not right. So that is why its wrong to have quotes from just one race on the wall.

Campus Life Third-Person Paragraph

What some people do when they get ready for school here is they will wake up early in the morning so they can have enough time to get ready and when they are done they would spend the rest of their time either watching TV or eating breakfast before they have to go to school. Now when dinner hour comes around all the kids must be in the house from five thirty to six thirty and have to sit at the table for at least ten minutes before they can do something else. When lunch time comes around lunch is always in the café. The way lunchtime works is people have to wait in a line, get a tray and some eating utensils, along with some milk. After that people will move on and then people get to where the food is, and at the front of the line people will serve the food. And there is lunch.  So that is what we do here at SPA.

CST Testing Reflection

On the first day of testing I woke up and I said to myself “well only half an hour before I have to take the test.” So when I got to school I went to the class where me and some other students were going to take the test. As I waited for the rest of the kids to show up I was talking to the teacher about what his major was in college. So a few minutes into our conversation two students showed up and said the other student was on the way. While we waited for two minutes we were just sitting around. I was feeling kind of nervous because I didn’t want to mess up on the test. After a minute the student came through the door and sat down in her seat and asked what we are doing and the teacher told her that we are going to eat breakfast then we are going to start the test. On that day we had a burrito, juice, peanut butter bars, and milk. So after we were all done eating breakfast we were given the test book along with the answer sheet and pencil. While the teacher was reading the directions to us I was thinking to myself “wow the time has come for the big test.”So after listening to the teacher he told us that we can begin on our test so I opened and started to work. So after working for what it seemed like ten hours I was finally done with the whole test and turned it in. I could only think “what if I did something wrong or what if I forgot to answer a question?” but I did not let it bother me and sat back down until we could go to lunch. So that was my testing experience.

Testing Tips, Strategies, and Plays Reflection

Knowing some tips and strategies can be a helpful thing to people when it comes to test taking. Some tips people can use are highlighting important things in the passage, and cross out some answers that don’t make sense. Using these tips can help people because if you highlight some important facts then you already know what you are looking for instead of going through the whole passage again. Also some strategies people can use are budget the time, and go back and make sure you answered all the questions with the correct answers. Using these strategies are important because if you don’t go back and make sure you answered all the questions you could have skipped a question and end up getting that one wrong and have a bad grade for one little mistake. So that is why it’s important to know some tips and strategies for test taking.

My Feelings about the Upcoming CSTs

One word I would use to describe how I would feel about testing is apprehensive. When it comes to testing I am always nervous or a little bit scared because I might fail and get a bad grade.  I’m always apprehensive when it comes to state testing because I always have a bad feeling that I might fail every test and I will have to repeat the grade I’m in. Another reason I chose the word apprehensive because what if I do fail the test that mean I wont be able to graduate on time because I failed the state test.  Right now I feel nervous because this is the biggest test of the school year and if I fail this test I will have to take the ninth grade all over again and I won’t graduate high school on time. So that is how I feel about California standards test.

My UnGoogleable Research for an Eight-Year Old

Playing sports can be a good and bad career depending on the sport the athlete played. Some reasons playing sports can be a good career are, if the athlete is really good at the sport he can be one of the best players in the game and have lots of fame and fans. Another reason is if the athlete’s dream was to become a professional in the game then he accomplished his goal because they got to play in the sport. But also the sport can be an unsuccessful career because when you play some sports some injuries are bound to happen and a bad enough injury can end you career forever. Another reason sports can be an unsuccessful career is because once a athlete retires from a sport it can be hard for them to find something else to entertain them. Its important to know this information because if a person wants to play sports then they should think ahead of time and ask them “Is this sport the one I really want to play?” or “is this sport going to help me in the future or am I going to end up in the hospital?”

When I was in the fifth grade me and my friend we in the school playground talking about how we cant wait for the fourth of July because it was only a couple of days away and we couldn’t wait to light some fireworks. When I mentioned the word firework he looked at me with a huge but conspicuous smile on his face. So when I saw him put that look on his face I knew he was up to something and I knew he wanted me to help him with whatever he was going to do. So I asked him what was his plan, and his plan was thirty minutes before the bell rings we will go on the football field and put a bunch of cherry bombs in a water bottle and throw it in the air so it will explode in mid air. So while waiting for time to go by we were trying to find a water bottle to use and finally we found one in the bushes near the track fence. By the time we found the water bottle the yard duty blew the whistle and said there is half an hour left before school started so me and my friend went to the far side of the track and started to pack the water bottle with cherry bombs. When the bottle was finally full with cherry bombs he asked if I was ready to witness an explosion and I said sure. He took out a lighter and counted down from three all the way to one and when he got to one he light the fire works sealed the water bottle and threw it high in the air and ran to stand next to me. As the bottle was in the air my friend and I were waiting for an explosion and then all of a sudden there was a loud bang that sounded like a gun shot. When we heard that we both got super scared and ran to the swing set where we sat down and never spoke of the situation again.
