Portfolio - Future

I feel that my future will be awesome and that I will succeed my goals. My goals in my future are to graduate high school, UCSD and med-school and become a heart surgeon. I haven't had much of previous experiences to prepare me to become a doctor. I need to have good grades such as: A's and B's and be positive in life. My teachers, family, friends and I will help me to achieve my goals. I do genially believe I can achieve my goals because I'm smart and I have the tools to help me go far in life.

Prom 2012 Blog Post

When we first arrived at Sea World I was excited and ready to dance and party. When we arrived at the tide pools, I was amazed at the sight of all of the star fishes and how they were multi-colored and they’re are a lot of them to. During dinner, they gave us food and it was really good. They gave us chicked with chicken alfrado. While I was dancing, I felt a little bit uncomfortable, because I'm not used to dancing in front of people and I felt like people were staring at me, so I just sat down most of the night. By the end of the night, I felt tired since it was a long day, and by the time we got back it was midnight, and once I got to my room I just fell asleep.

Romeo & Juliet - Love at First Sight

I do not believe in love at first sight, but, there is an attraction at first, possibly lust, which is what a lot of people mistaken for love. For example, my sister Nikki and her husband met at the SPCA in Canada, which was where my other sister worked at. At first they hated each other, but then they grew to like each other. Then they started to go out with each other and then they got married. Another example is my Aunty Linda and Uncle St. John (pronounced as Sinjin). They met at a park, it was when her dog ran away and he went and got him for her. They started talking and getting to know each other, then they got married and were together for a very long time, now he's dead so they can't really be happy with each other. Romeo and Juliet's love is not sincere because they don't know each other yet and they don't know what they're getting each other into.

Personal Changes Blog Paragraph

At the beginning of my freshman year, I was more shy. Now, I am less shy and don't get embarrassed easily when being around people. For example, when people would talk to me it would be hard for me to talk to them back. This shows that I was a very shy person. This also shows that it was hard for me to talk to people. In addition, I am more around people that I didn't really know before and I am more talkative to people. This shows that now I am talking to more people. This also shows that I have more friends. By my senior year, I hope to be more talkative and get along with more people.

SPA Policy Blog Paragraph

One policy that I wish could change is that girls should have guy CASA's. Currently, this policy states that girls  can not have males as their CASA's. One reason it should be changed is that guys get female CASA's while girls can't have male CASA's, which is sexist. Another reason is that a lot of girls need to trust a male so that way they know the male wont hurt them. In order for girls to trust males they need a male CASA to be a positive role model and lead by example. If this policy was changed, I would have a male CASA, but my CASA is already awesome so I wouldn't get rid of her.

Academic Update Blog Paragraph

My career goal is to  become a heart surgeon when I grow up and finish schooling. This job involves me graduating high school, college, and med school. I know this will take a lot of years of schooling but it will be worth it in the long run .I want to do this because ever since I could remember, I wanted to help people when they got hurt. I will achieve this goal by having good grades, not letting people get in my way and paying attention in school. I will remain motivated to become a heart surgeon by always wanting to care for people and not faint at the sight of blood.

Ironic Story Blog Post

Once upon a time there was a lady called Natalie Priester, who was a teacher. While she was taking a shower, her phone started ringing saying she got an email, and that email said that there was no work today. But Natalie P. did not pay attention to her phone because she was in the shower. After that, she got ready and went to work. When she got to her work she realized that nobodies car was there. 'Hmm...' she thought 'I guess I'm early then.' So she went into the Tech Center and went into her classroom and got it ready for the kids of her first period. While she sat on her chair she decided to do some of her own work for yearbook. As hours passed she soon realized that there must have been no work today and that she did not check her email, she was very upset that she did not check her email and that she was too lazy to go check it after her shower.

Spring Break Blog Paragraph

During spring break, I spent the whole time with Natalie playing games with her online. Some of the games we played were Words with Friends, Scramble with Friends, and Legend Cards. Something I also did during spring break was network on Facebook. What I did on Facebook was play games and talk to old friends. Then I went to Walmart with Natalie and spent ten dollars on food. Some of the things I did buy were a 24 pack of Coke-a-Cola for eight dollars and a bag of Hot Cheetos for two dollars. By the end of the week, I also spent 20 dollars on junk food, which was at the 99 Cent Store. Other then that, I got a lot of rest. I wished that spring break was a little longer because I had a lot of fun.

Trayvon Martin Paragraph

George Zimmerman should be charged with murder for shooting Trayvon Martin. One reason is that Trayvon seemed to be a innocent victim because he did not do anything wrong. Another reason is that George Zimmerman shot him because he was a different race, he had his hood on in the rain and walking alone. Lastly, I think that people should not murder other people; even if it's for self defense, even if they are doing something wrong, instead of killing them they should of shot them in the leg. That is why I think that George Zimmerman should be charged with murder for shooting Trayvon Martin.

Rain, Vacation, or Zombies vs Vampires Blog Post Paragraph

My dream vacation would to go to Hawaii. One reason is that there is a huge volcano, and knowing the fact that it would erupt and that I could die in any minute is so awesome. Another reason is that I would like to swim by the waterfalls there, because it is really sparkly and clean. Lastly, it is a really good place to have a honeymoon at. You can have many different activities to do their too. You can go swimming, scuba-diving, trying out new foods, learning new dances and see different types of musical instruments. That is why my dream vacation would be to go to Hawaii.

Testing Thoughts Paragraph

When I do take the CAHSEE I hope to feel good about taking the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). I know that I have to study really hard in order to pass it and graduate from school. I am a little concerned that I might have not studied enough in order to pass the CAHSEE. I am confident that I will be able to have enough time to study and pass the California High School Exit Exam. When I see my CAHSEE scores, I hope to feel satisfied that I was able to pass, comfortable with my score, and wonderful that I can graduate high school.

technology, reflection Technology in School Paragraph

Teachers use technology to help me learn. For example, in 4th grade, my teacher used a projector to teach us how to use computers. Also, in 6th grade, my teacher used an old computer and disassembled it and she put it back together and showing us how to out it back together in case we need to take apart a computer and put it back together. In addition, in 9th grade, my teacher let us use computer to do warmups & classwork, and we have to use computers to do our homework. Future teachers can help their students to learn by using more advanced technology, and being more patient.

Imagery in Poetry Blog Post Paragraph

    An unhappy day I had was when I got a new, free skateboard and some old man in San Diego stole it. I was in Salvation Army and then this old man came in and he took my skateboard when nobody was paying attention to him. I was looking at the magazine I was holding and I got really into it. Since I ate Peanut butter and bread earlier I kept on tasting and smelling the previous food that I ate. I was hearing my mom talking to the assistant, and then the old man came in.  The feelings I had felt from my skateboard being stolen were sad at first, but then I got over it because that man might have needed it so he could sell it and get money for food.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 18: Free Choice

I decided to write about kickboxing, I've always wanted to do kickboxing, and still do. One reason I like kickboxing is because my sister use to do it and she sometimes would teach me a little bit about kickboxing. Another reason that I like kickboxing is because it is for self-defense, so if somebody would try to come out and kill me one day, I can always just show them what I got. Lastly, I like kickboxing because sometimes it's just fun to kick or punch something. That is why I decided to write about kickboxing, and that is also why I like it so much.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 13: Saturday

My favorite thing to do on a Saturday is to go to sleep. During this activity I go to bed, and fall a sleep. I do this activity because I'm tired or I'm crashing from having too much caffeine or sugar. I enjoy this activity because I get some sleep that I happen to not have gotten it the night before. I hope to do this all the time because I'm very tired and I didn't get it the night before, and I really don't like going to school that much, so I would prefer to go to sleep everyday or just be really lazy.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 12: Veterans Day

I would not enlist in the military. One reason is that there are some jobs are perfect for some people and being a veteran is not something I want to grow up as. Another reason is that I don't want to die. Additionally, I'm not comfortable handling guns and killing people. Currently I do not plan to actually enlist in the military.

First Person Narrator: House Parent/Lead Staff Point of View Jackie

As I walked into Girls 5 today, I thought "They better hurry up, and open this freaking door!!!". Then, I went inside the house once the staff hurried up and opened the door. When I went inside the house I decided to go to the Tech center so I could finish my homework, but I had to stay til' 3:30, and in that time moment the house and I had to do teen topic. Later, I finally went to go do my homework, and once I opened my blog I found it all pink and girly and some chic as my profile picture, and to tell you now that I was really confused. As I went off shift, I felt annoyed and happy that I did my homework at the same time, and you know that I really don't have to tell you why I was annoyed.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 11: Sports & Grades

Student athletes should be required to have good grades in order to play sports. One reason is because everybody needs to be smart in order to survive in the adult world, so schooling should come before sports, or any other fun activity. Another reason is that you need good grades and have a 2.0 to get most jobs, and some sport jobs. Additionally, if you have good grades in high school there's more of a chance for you getting scholarships in collage and getting a good sport job. In order to help student athletes, schools should give them more work to do.
