Random Thoughts =)

This week has been good I guess. I get along with people in my classes and I've been doing good for the 1st marking period. I'm doing really well in English because that's my strength and because of Mr.Locker and ms.Shah who pushed me so I've been doing really good in that subject.In global I'm doing good too which is surprising. School has been going good for now.   I hate that my uncle isn't coming and i have to wait until February the week of my birthday. i really was looking forward to it though. I never really got to know him and i was really happy but something came up that he can't come which really sucks because my mom was excited too. Now i got to look forward to something else which is hard to do. Today was picture day and it was okay. Everybody said that I look nice which made my day a little better.

My uncle can't come for thanksgiving which sucks because I was looking forward to seeing him.I haven't seen him in so long & now he can't come because he has to get knee surgery:( hope everything goes good.I hope to see him for the week of my birthday.It would be awesome. I might go to Florida or maybe take a cruise & if I take a cruise he wants to come too which would be really fun. I'm glad that I can talk to him. I started to talk to him through myspace & then I got his number then added him on Facebook & now when he calls we have a long talk.He makes fun of me though but oh well.My mom & him just started talking like a couple months ago which I'm glad because my mom missed him. Hopefully I could see him for Christmas. Anyways I love my uncle & my life:)

      Today is my first day of High School. I'm really nervous but I'm looking forward to it. In the summer orientation I met a couple of girls, so I'm guessing my first day of school won't be so boring. In my school, (UASBYW) you have to wear Uniform. (Grey skirt, with a white polo and a vergandy vest.) Right now I'm in my way to UASBYW…       The schools great but the fact that I have to be surrounded by 400 girls every day is killing me. I cannot stand the drama. "But I have to deal with it every day." The cool thing about my school is that every body gets they’re own lockers, we have a dance studio, and every freshmen has a half a day every Wednesday. 10-12 graders get to go out side for lunch. We have a school Library were you can just hang out with your friends and read all you want.       Clubs available are (Dance, Step, Glee, and track). My favorite classes are Dance and Global. I like dance becaus...

I am stressed out because of school and all the homework but it's a part of school. I have to do a science lab report, an English essay about video games and if it should be used in schools, and in creative writing i have to write a long story that has to be at least 6-8 pages long. It's like the 3rd week of school and I finally opened my locker but my locker buddy can't open hers. In Spanish I'm doing good.=) I need to bring up my grades for science and especially math. Anyways high school for me isn't that good. I forgot how school is so exhausting. I don't get enough sleep so I get more tired which is very bad. The stairs are small not everybody fits. Only 2 minutes to get to class. Every night you get a lot of stuff to do for almost each class. The only class that doesn't give homework is creative writing which isn't that fun but its okay. I hate having to go up and down the stairs everyday i got to walk up to the 4 Th floor for living environme...

My week has been okay I guess.School was not that great at all.The worst thing is having algebra last period because the people in my class waste time laughing over something that's not even funny.I hate how small the room is and I don't really talk to most of my classmates only some.In my English class there's this girl that is loud and everything.I don't think that I'm gonna like this.I really miss a lot of my friends because i don't see them at all. I think that I'm gonna have a hard time sleeping during the week because I'm always worried about over sleeping and everything its really getting to me.I feel stressed out about school.When I was in UNMS it wasn't like that at all.I really miss UNMS even though i didn't like it but later on i did that was because i go to know the teachers and stuff.

I can't wait until November because that's when my uncle comes.I recently spoken to him and I told him that he needs to visit me.When he said in November I was so excited so now i can't wait. It's gonna be awesome. I haven't seen him in forever but i talk to him even though sometimes he cant text me back but he manages to call =) I'm just so excited but its too long to wait.

My summer has been good.On August 11,2010 I went to Pace University with Pace High School and it was okay I met some interesting and crazy people.The school doesn't play with lateness.In Pace University you have to take a quick shower which I didn't like because I'm useto taking a lot of showers and not being rushed.

1: Don't eat in class because than the teacher will make you through it out and that's wasting your food. 2: Don't chew gum in class because gum isn't allowed in school.The teacher will make you spit it out.If you don't throw it out you will get in trouble. 3: Don't pass notes in class because you will get caught no matter how secretive you think you are. 4: don't turn in your assignments late because you loose points. 5: don't get distracted because you wont know what your assignment is and you wont know what to do. It happened to me and I had to ask a classmate that was listening. 6: don't get into some stupid argument that's pointless and not important you will get into trouble. 7: don't scream or talk back to the teacher because there are consequences.

What I'm gonna miss the most is the teachers because they really pushed me and helped me to understand. I'm gonna miss my friends because they were always there near me. I'm gonna miss Ms. Rowe, Ms. Shah, Mr. Locker, Ms. Tynan, Ms. Peynado and the rest of the staff. I really got use to UNMS . The memories that will stay with me is the prom, school dances and the trips like the ice skating trip and the senior trip to six flags New England. I felt more comfortable in UNMS . The best class was 802 because we worked together as a class and we didn't have that many problems. I'll miss UNMS completely:) It's a great school!

1: I never really revised my writing but I always do it now. 2: I never really moved any of my sentences around that didn't go with the paragraph. 3: I never used different words or more specific words. 4: I didn't explain myself that much in my writing but now I do. 5:When I write at times I write the same word twice and it doesn't make sense.

I never really liked writing. I didn't like writing that much until like the 4 Th grade. Then after a while I started to hate it again. When I got to 8 Th grade I started to like it again. I use to repeat myself and than it wouldn't make any sense so I worked on my writing and I improved a lot. I wrote about many different subjects. When i use to write essays it didn't work out for me because I didn't really write any good essays but this year I can write a good essay about something that I know or learned about. This year I worked hard on my writing because it's important and I enjoy writing most of the time. I like writing about my day and memories about the 8 Th grade. I can pretty much write about anything that I know. I guess I like writing because both my parents like it and enjoy it. I hate when my writing doesn't make sense it annoys me and I fix it. I still repeat myself sometimes when I don't think and I just write. Writing is my favorite subj...

In the past I never really enjoyed reading until the 8 Th grade. In 7 Th grade reading wasn't that interesting to me it was always boring.One week before school started my mom was reading a book and I would always think about why my mom enjoyed reading until I decided to ask her. My mom said "Reading helps relax me and when I read an interesting book I get attached and I wanna finish the book to know what happened." When I started 8 Th grade I didn't really want to Read .When my teachers Ms. Shah and Mr. Locker did the book share I got to hear about different varieties of books. There's a lot of books that I want to read I put them all on my good reads to- read shelf. I look at my friends good reads books that they read and I add some of them on my to-read shelf. When it was October I got more into reading because it was fun. When I go to the library I already know what shelf to look at. To me reading is relaxing and enjoyable. When I'm bored I read a goo...

I will always indent. I will always control my capitalization.(capitalize the names Etc...) I would always re-read my work at least two times. I will always revise and edit my work. Give details explain what I mean in each paragraph I write.

No gum Do as Mr. Locker and Ms. Shah say. Try to finish your work before it is due. Take your time and don't rush through anything. Make sure to be the bigger person in any chaotic situation. Have fun(but not too much) Be respectful Make sure you put your voice in everything you write.

In the past six or seven months I’ve improved my writing a lot. Today I know how to select important details/evidence to write a well written essay. Today I know how to separate full  page of words into a couple of paragraphs. Today I know how to make a point with everything I write, or say. Today I also know how to write in formal English. I’m not great at it but I’m getting there. Being in Ms. Shah’s and Mr. Locker’s class helped me a lot with my writing, reading, and to become a better person. I really appreciate everything they have done to get me where I’m at now. (Graduating from the 8 Grade.) Ms. Shah and Mr. Locker  have taught me a lot. They never let me back down on anything not even when I say I can’t do this,Or this is too hard for me.They have taught me to never let anyone tell me that I can’t do something. They had also taught me to prove them wrong, to let them know the things I can accomplish if I work hard on it.  I remember when Mr. Locker use to...

Spanish War-Out Line     How did the U.S treat Cuba after winning the Spanish War?   · “The United States would not remove their troops from Cuban land until they accepted the Platt amendment.” · McKinley set up a U.S military government to take control of the island. · “The United States intervened to restore order and set up a government under U.S control.” Cubans believed that the U.S was there mainly for economic, business interest. · “Some Cubans hated the U.S intervention, which they saw as imperialist.” · “The U.S helped clean up public schools by providing people with basic services like picking up garbage, and going to school.” · “The United States insisted that their constitution include something called the PLATT AMENDMENT. *Cuba did not have the right to borrow freely form any other foreign powers.*The United States could intervene Cuban affairs.*The United States could set up two military bases on the island. 1 Draft The American imperialists...

Reading is not something I like to do. (Not at all) In the 7th Grade I wasn’t the kind of person who really liked reading. I use to hate reading, and I really didn’t care if I improve my reading level or not. NOW is a different thing. The Minute I started the 8th grade I knew I would get a chance to discover who I really am and what my hobbies really are. In the 8th grade I have grown and achieved a lot. I can possibly say that I am a more mature person then what I use to be in the 6th and 7th grade. One thing I realize is that I sort of like reading. (Not a lot) but one thing I could say is that if I don’t really like the book I’m reading, I would just not read at all. In better words I like choosing really carefully the book i want to read next. Mr. Locker and Ms. Shah helped me a lot with my reading this year. One way they helped me was by letting me read one page by my self and then ask me what I just read about. If I got to the point where I couldn’t understand a word t...

I think that it was okay to declare war against Spain because the U.S took in Cuba.The U.S was helping Cuba with the war because Cuba was a mess. I think it wasn't okay the way the U.S was acting like imperalist, we did help Cuba, but we didn't give them complete freedom. The foreign policy was unfair because it didn't give Cuba the complete freedom we were controlling them a little. The U.S fought against Spain and the U.S won. After that Cuba got a new constitution. The imperalist supported the U.S foreign policy because they didn't believe in people having a choice and people having their own beliefs. The imperalist wanted to tell people what to do and to control them. The imperalist believe in having their own way and not having equal rights for everybody. The imperalist believed that god has marked the American people as his chosen nation to finally lead in the regeneration of the world. The anti-imperalist were against the foreign policy because they don...

802 has been great since the beginning..Most teachers say that we achieved the most, out of all of the 8th Grade classes....................................802 is not the only class who has developed a lot this year, 801 has also developed a lot too.(No other class behaves, and gives respect better then 802. )  ............................................801,802 and 803 have achieved a lot this year, They've accomplished great blog posts, great projects in all classes.( Spanish :Mi Vida, Science : Fashion show, Humanities :________, (Etc...)803 is not a bad class, 803 just doesn't behave like 801 and 802 do. Most people in 803 are smart people who want to learn, but half of the class, is really rude.There are students that don't care about anything but there selves.( "people who don't care if they get in the way of there classmates learning)....... Overall we had our ups and downs we still have had great times together in the past three years. I can assure you that...

On Wednesday of this week I went to McDonald's with my parents after I picked up my glasses.My parents and I ate a Big Mac because it was 2 for $4.It was my dad's idea to go to Ms Donald's.When I got home from school I ate ribs that my dad made.When I was eating it I felt bad and I was thinking about the food.When I was at McDonald's I thought about what I was eating.After that I was talking to my parents about it.It didn't seem to bother my parents. I thought back to the documentary and how they made the food.I still eat meat but I feel guilty.The documentary didn't change the way I eat but i try to eat healthy but sometimes it's a weakness.Sometimes I eat other foods instead of meat,like pizza or that healthy pasta.I don't always eat healthy but sometimes my mom tells me what to eat.When it's Friday I have to eat the healthy pasta.However,sometimes we go to T.G.I Fridays on the weekend but I order the Jack Daniel's Flat Iron steak with mash pot...

Rebecca: How do you feel about the Racial Gap? Evelyn: What i feel about the Racial Gap is that it seems unfair.. The fact that Whites and Asians are engaged in learning then the Latinos and Blacks. Evelyn: What bothers you the most? Rebecca:What bothers me the most about the Racial Gap is that the whites and Asians have better skills in reading and math because their parents push them to do well and the Africans and Latinos parents don't push them. Rebecca : Do you think if the parents of the Latinos and Africans push them that they will do better ? Rebecca:If I was one of those kids I would work hard no matter what.I wouldn't just be in school just to be there.I don't want a bad future and drop out of school because then I won't have a good job. Rebecca:How would you feel if your parents didn't push you? Evelyn: At first I would feel like dropping out of school, but before I would do that I would have thought about the consequences on my life....If I wou...
