Dragons Den

I don't think theirs just one color that represents me because I have different moods and attitudes. If I had to chose a color to represent me it would be coral. The color coral is a very natural and simple color in my opinion. I am a very natural person and I like to be simple, even though sometimes I'm not. The color coral also represents me because it reminds me of nature and I am a nature person. Coral is definitely a color that represents me.

Portfolio - Improvement

Over the past two years I have improved my academic skills drastically. My writing skills before high school were okay, but I knew that I needed more improvement. My writing skills now are better than they were because now I know how to add details, use grammar properly, and use more advanced words to make my writing more interesting. Before I started high school I read books, but I don't read books anymore. The only books I read are the text books that we use in the classrooms. My reading skills haven't improved because I stopped reading books. My speaking skills were not good before high school, but they have improved. Now my speaking skills have changed and I don't use inappropriate language anymore. Before I became a freshmen in high school I didn't use technology. Now that I'm in high school I use technology for almost everything I do. In order to continue advancing my academic skills I plan to keep going to school and focus on my education. I also plan to be open to learning new and different strategies to advance my education.

Portfolio - Future

My future looks very bright in my opinion because I have good grades and i'm making good choices for myself. I want to graduate high school, go to SDSU, study business and go to cosmotology school. I want to study business and go to cosmotology school to try and make my own make up business. In order for this to happen I need to keep doing good in school and focus on not procrascinating. To achieve my goals I will need some support from family and myself so that I don't procrascinate and give up. I believe that I will achieve my goal because when I set a goal I push myself until I achieve it and not give up.

Playwrights Project Play Performance Paragraph

Today when the Playwrights actors came to act parts of our plays I felt amazed, very touched, and fascinated. I was amazed at how well the actors acted out the plays and it was their first time reading the plays. I was so touched because some of the plays were very sad and were based on life experiences some of my peers have gone through. Some of the people in the audience were very emotional when the plays were being acted and that shows that the plays were well written. I was so fascinated because the plays were so good and had many emotions. This was a great experience for me because it was great to sit and listen to plays that were based on real stories. I really enjoyed the plays, the actors, and the Playwrights Project.

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Achievement

Over the past two years of high school I have made many achievements, but my biggest achievement was earning a 4.0 GPA for third quarter. I was given an award and two hundred dollars at my school assembly. I knew I had a 4.0 GPA because I check my grades often, but when I received my award and the money I felt very proud of myself because I had achieved a goal I had set for myself. Earning a 4.o was a great accomplishment for me because I tried my best and pushed myself to the best of my abilities. One of my teachers Mr.Walker, put me to the test to see if I could get a 4.0 and I was able to achieve. Earning a 4.0 GPA changed me because I know that I can accomplish anything I want, all I need to do is trust in myself and push myself to get what I want.

Portfolio - My Educational Experiences

Due to my educational experiences, I feel that I am doing well in school and my grades show it. I haven't attended many schools so that is an advantage in my education because I wasn't moving around much. I have attended seven schools in total from kindergarden to sophomore year, but some of the schools I attended were in my opinion not good schools. Sometimes I procrasinate and won't do my work, but that will happen once in a while. The schools I went to had very good teachers that were disciplined and taught me to stay focused and try my best in all that I do. To make sure I am successful in school I check my grades everyweek and if I am missing assignments I check what I am missing adn make them up. I also talk to my teachers to see how I am doing in class and what I can do to be better. I try my hardest to be a successful person in school so that I can have a good future.

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Obstacle

The biggest obstacle I've had to deal with over the past two years is when I found out my mom was pregnant and she was having a baby. I was at my sisters, on an overnight pass and her cellphone rang. I had her cellphone and when I picked it up a guy said "your mom is in the hospital giving birth"! I was in shock because I didn't know what to think and I had no idea she was pregnant. I was also scared for the baby and my mom because of the circumstances my mom was in, she didn't have much to eat and the baby wasn't getting fed. This changed me because I started getting more concerned about my mom and what she was doing in T.J. This experience was a huge deal for me, but it was a good experience because I had a new baby sister.

I am so excited for school to be over and summer vacation to come. I am planning on going on pass with my sisters and hopefully going to Mexico to visit my dad. I haven't seen him, my brother and my little sister for three months and I really miss them. I'm not use to being away from them or not seeing them for a long time, so it's actually really weird for me. I am also planning on spending time with my family and some friends that I haven't talked to because I've been busy. Another thing I want to do is try and find my mom, that is lost somewhere in T.J. I haven't seen or heard from her in two years and I really miss her. I hope I have a great time over my summer break.

Playwrights Project Play Completion Reflection

For the past five weeks I have been writing a play called "Lost!" and today I entered it into a contest and I feel alieviated. I feel good about my play because I worked really hard to try and finish it. My play is based on a real life experience, so I wrote down everything that I felt. Since it was based on a real life experience, it was really easy to put it together. I am stoked to see the actors act out the plays next week because I know that my peers did a great job on writing their plays. I can't wait for next week to come because I know that the actors are going to do an amazing job at acting out the plays.

SPA Prom 2011 or Free Write

On Friday we had prom at Hotel del Coronado, but I didn't go. I had my dress and everything I needed for prom and at the last minute I decided not to go. My best friend was mad at me because she wanted me to go, but I didn't. On Friday I helped some people get ready for prom. I went to my best friends house before she left to prom and she looked so pretty. After she was gone I left on pass to go see my family. I had such a great time on pass and when it was time to come back to SPA I was not happy. I got back on campus and all I hear was drama that happened at prom and on campus. I was so happy that I wasn't on campus or at prom because it would of messed up my whole weekend.

When two people have a relationship at SAN PASQUAL ACADEMY they don't seem to workout and they end up breaking up in weeks or even days. Not all relatioships on campus work that way, but most of them do. A reason some relationships don't work is because other poeple are in a couples relationship and they either make up things or just try to separate them if they are happy. Many couples seem to have problems because they tell their friends their business and what i going on in their relationship. Another reason relationships don't work on our campus is because of cheating. Some couples think that they can go snooping around and messing with a guy or female when their partner is on pass or something, but they always get caught. Some couples on our campus are very manipulating and some even try to feel like they have to be in control and their partner don't like that and that is why some don;t seem to last. Jealousy is a very big reason why relationships don't workout. This reason mainly pertains to the females because they are insecure, but it can pertain to the guys as well. Many of the kids think that if their couple is hanging out with somebody else, they immediately like them, but it's not always the case. Some people are just friends and want to spend time together, but people don't see it that way. Also, people don't last because they have too many problems and have been on and off for sometime. I don't why people will go back out if they already broke up and tried to be together, but it didn't work out. I can go on with this list, but the point is most relationships on campus don't workout.

President Obama’s Big Announcement

To learn about Osama Bin Laden's death I watched the news and I learned that he was living in a mansion for over five years. First FBI had to investigate that it was him who lived there and not somebody that looked like him. After they were positive it was him they sent out Navy Seals to go after him. US troops went in his home and he tried to use his wife to protect him. He was shot on the head twice and was killed. Now I think that this event is going to make the Al Quida angry and they are going to make a plan to get back at the United States for killing their leader. The war on terrorisms will never end no matter if the main leaders are killed.

Now that I have read and watched the news about Osama Bin Laden's capture and death, I predict the Unites States better be prepared to protect it's land and people. One thing I predict is that Al Quida is going to get another leader and when the US least expects it, they are going to attack. I think this will happen because of Osama's death and capture and also because many people are celebrating his death. Another thing I predict will happen is that Obama will get shot and killed or the White House will be bombed and destroyed. I predict this will happen because the Al Quida are mad and because people are celebrating a mans' death. I hope this terrorist war ends so that nobody else dies or gets hurt, especially innocent people.

Posters in the Hall

I think that having only Caucasian quotes on our hallway isn't right for several reasons. The first reason is that Caucasians are not the only people that are inspiring in this world. There are many quotes that are written by Mexican or Africans or other people that are meaningful. Caucasian people are important, but so are other people and they should get credit too not just caucasians. I would like to see more quotes from different people, no matter their race or skin color, on our wall. Many kids in our school would benefit from it because they will read and learn lessons from the quotes.

CST Testing Reflection

I have been testing for the last three days and I am frusturated about it. The first day of the CST test, I took the English portion and it was extremely easy. On wednesday, I took the Math portion and that was easy as well. Today I took the history section and that test was difficult and confusing. Most of the questions that were asked on the test, I haven't learned so I had to take a guess. Tomorrow I am taking the biology section and Friday I am taking the science section. I hope that both of the test I am taking in the next few days aren't difficult and I hope the questions are about somethings I already learned. I hope that I don't have to take a test like this one anytime soon and hopefully I did well on them.
