why do i want to go?

why i want to go to college is because college is going to help succeed later in life. Having an education will open more doors for me. I will get a job a actually enjoy doing, not having an education will not make life easier for me. i want to make my parents proud. i will give all i have to have a great future. i want my future to be bright, college is very important in our lives because without education you don't have anything. we always have to try our best and worry about us. don't let others bring you down and don't worry about negativity. always have a positive attitude because that will help!

Showcase Reflection

My presentation came out good because all my group members participated. our topic was poor diet in HP, i think it was a good topic because that is what we have here in our community. what i like about this project was that i was able to communicate with different people that don't come to this school. i was a little bit nervous but after i got the hang of it. i saw different groups and different topics. all the groups had everything ready and were able to present without a difficulty.

elvis preesly quote

" walk a mile in my shoes"

-Elvis Preesly

if i could be you, if you could be me 

for just one hour, if we could find a way 

to get inside each other's mind 

if you could see you through my eyes 

instead your own ego

i believe you'd be 

i believe you'd be surprised to see

that you've been blind 

walk a mile in my shoes 

just walk a mile in my shoes 

before you abuse,criticize, and accuse 

then walk a mile in my shoes

now if we spend the day 

throwing' stones at one another 

' cause i will think,'cause i will think to wear my hat the same way you do 

well, i may be common people 

but i'm your brother

and when you strike out

you're tryin' to hurt me 

it's hurtin' you, lord how mercy 

now there are people on reservations

and out in the ghetto

and whether they're for the Grace of God

or you and i,

if i only had wings of a little angel 

dont you know,i'd fly 

to the top of a mountain 

and then i'd cry, cry, cry 

reflection: i think it means that first you need to get to know the person before you criticize them or never judge anyone. 

to kill a mockingbird quote

" you are never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

using winter break time wisely

1. wake up early. nothing eats away the winter break like moping around beneath the covers. decide the previous day when you will get out of bed, then make sure follow through.

during the first few days of vacation, chance are that you will relish the opportunity to sleep in. its okay to do this and give yourself a break, because your body will naturally put it self on schedule to wake itself up earlier.

2. maintain good health and hygiene. brush your teeth and bathe often. make sure to use sunblock even in the cold, and remember that the only healthy tan is spray-on! winter is a great time to get in shape, or stay in shape. consider joining a sport, or at the very least go outside and have fun everyday.

3. study. particularly if you are a high school student, studying remains essential even though the school year in short recess. look over last year's notes, or do some research into what next year's courses have in store. when school resumes, youll be grateful that your academic knowledge and skills have not deteriorated. you will be ready and not panicking that you dont know something. 

4. follow a routine. dont play to many video games and even if it might be cold go out for a few hours a week. 

5. you will stay in contact with friends, have a great sense of accomplishment, stay active, and even help others! all comunities have some sort of soup kitchen, or place where someone might need your help.

6. some ideas include a working at a swap meet stand, babysitting,  law care, or getting a lead for a future job.

7. go to camp and learn something new. 

8. stay active in your society.

9. read at least one book.

school

1.what direction do you see the u.s going? why is it going this direction?
- well right now the government is going bad because a lot of people are out of job and the economy is so low. so i think they are a going down and in a wrong directions.

2. why do SAT scores in the u.s continue to go downward?
- the scores are going down because students continue to drop out or some dont take schools seriously. teachers are not doing their jobs of educating the students.

3. what are the solutions to low SAT scores?
- to raise the scores up we need to offer more classes to students that are low.

 4. make a bullet list of a few problems with education in california

• the fees are going up to be able to get into college.

• students are not taking school seriously

5. what are solutions to the california education problems?

6. " to educate a man in mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society" (theodore roosevelt)
