Third Quarter goals Reflection

My goals for the third Quarter are to get my grades up at least to a 2.7 GPA. To obtain this goal I have been turning in most of my assignments in most of my classes. I have been trying to study for my tests because my test scores are whats been hurting me   more than anything else. I am still getting low scores on my tests so I need to find a different way to study. I also need to improve on my note taking to make my studting less stressful. At the end of the Quarter I expect to feel good about the hard work I put in to achieve my third Quarter goals. I will also feel relieved from people telling me you cant play sports if you dont have the grades.

"Animal Farm" Character's symbolic meaning paragraph

In the story “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, the character old Major represents wisdom. For example Old Major Gives a motivational speech to all his fellow animal friends that starts a revolution.Old major wanted equal rights for all animals and was the only animal on the farm to think of having a revolution.All the other farm animals agreed that all animals should be treated equally.Theres not really much else to say about Old major besides him getting shot by a Ricocheted bullet from farmer Jones rifle.All the animals remembered him after he died.

Animal Farm to the real world

I hated the story it was so stupid to me. I couldn't believe old major got popped in the first scene. Surprisingly thats the only idea that I could use to compare to our world. That was like malcom X getting shot, because he wanted to change his world for his people, so was old major. Even though most stories about animals are for children, This story was not. A pig started a revolution and got shot. That is so inapropriate for little kids. I dout they would even understand what the story was about.

"Animal Farm" Revolution at SPA

The first thing that the kids would do to have a revolution is overthrow the staff. There would be no curfew. We would establish our own eduacational system that would teach us the material we need to know without being so boring. Spa would definitely have a higher population due to the new rules. There would be way more freedom but you would have to keep your grades up to stay enrolled here. On the flip side there would be a huge amount of bad things going on. there would probably be fights everyday. People will most likely be doing drugs. There would also be a lot of inapropriate interactions going on around campus.

San Pasqual academy dragons symbolism

The school mascot for San Pasqual Academy is the dragon. I don't know why they chose this mascot for our school but I would guess it's because we are strong and and powerful individuals. A dragon is strong, powerful, and explosive. It feels so great to be a San Pasqual Academy Dragon.I wouldn't want to go to any other school because I love this school too much. Not to mention I have the best teacher in the world named Ms.Priester. She's the best teacher in the world and she has the best teachers assistant. Spa is so great I don't know why anyone would want to leave.

"through the tunnel" foster youth initiation

When I first entered the foster care system I didn't care about anyone. I was angry at the world and on a destructive path that surprisingly inspired me to make my life how I want it. When I first started to settle down Things started to look up for me. I knew school was the best option for me but I still continued to cut classes. I set some little goals for myself and worked on achieving them taking it one day at a time. There were days when I would say to myself I didn't ask for this life, bouncing from group home to group home. Thats when I would throw on my hood and hit the street. Now since I've been in the system for a while now I am more laid back and focused on my future.

"through the tunnel" analysis paragraph

I agree with Jerry's idea because if you to want achieve something you have to work hard and dedicate youself to the goal you have. Even though I dont agree with what he did I have to say his actions and efforts made the risk he took convincing. It shows that he's growing up and wants to accomplish something. Nobody was going to stop jerry from reaching his goal because he was determined to go through the tunnel. I still think he could of taken another approach or thought up a smater plan because he put himself in danger .

"through the tunnel" prove yourself paragraph

When I was eight years old I began my first year of football. I was very excited and could hardly wait to put on my pads. The first day of conditioning was the toughest for me because I was still breaking in my helmet so I was running up big hills with a huge migraine. I through up the first day we ran, because I ate a California burrito before practice. I knew I was the best player on the team but our running back was the coaches son. I had to work hard in the practice so the team and the coaching staff would know I was better.

House symbols

Saturday, January 8, 2011House Symbols

The Lakers symbolizes our house which is Boys 3. To most people, this item is just a famous basketball team. To us, it represents our house and our relationship because the bonding they have is more than what it looks like. In the NBA it is more than just a team to them and is S.P.A. our house is more than just a house to us. Like the Lakers our house is a family. Also, like the NBA, players get traded and students might trade house but we still try to stay close and stay as a family. That is why our house is just like the Lakers.

My goal for this quarter is to get higher than a 3.0 and stay out of trouble. The things I need to do to achieve this goal are, do my homework,pay attention in class, and hangout with the right people.

Winter Break Narrative

Winter Break Narrative It was Christmas night and my 3 older brothers from New York flew in from Brooklyn. I was so excited because I hadn’t seen them since November of 2009. I was pumped with emotion and could barely wait to see them. I knew they looked different because I remember them as my best friends who would do anything for me. Now there grown paying there own bills getting there degree’s and partying. At least some of them were. My oldest brother is Andrew, who is 23, my second oldest brother is Kevin who has been my role model for years is 21, then there’s Anthony my third oldest brother who bullied me when I was little. My dad drops me off at the Holidays Inn and walks into lobby with me. I then drop my bags on the floor and ran to all 3 of them. My dad came up to the room with us and talked as we waited. They had a whole different swag from the east coast which I thought was kind of silly. I couldn’t help but laugh when Anthony showed me his dougie. My dad then took off to go to a meeting. We all of a sudden hear a Knock on the door. It was my little brother Gregory who was dropped off by his dad. We then headed to Plaza Bonita mall to go to the movies. As we payed for the tickets I saw this girl who I liked in elementary school. She was growing and looked so beautiful. Her name was Brawnisha Johnson. As soon as I told Anthony I was going to talk to her he told me were late for the movie she will be out here when our movies over. I hesitated and said no she won’t. Gregory then hugged me and pulled me into the movie. I sat there wondering and anticipating if I would see her again. I came to a decision that I wasn’t since Gregory told me to forget about her. I gave up looking for her. We went out to eat after words and I could not believe Brawnisha was sittings right next to our table. That’s when we started talking and had a wonderful dinner.
