My Educational Experiences

Thinking about all my past experiences in school I have been very inconsistent after the fifth grade. When I was in a steady home I was a consistent honor roll student, mainly because I was beaten if I did not get good grades so I earned them out of fear. When I started to feel more comfortable when I lived with my grandma I was more into friends at that age and starting socializing a lot more than doing work. But through everything I realized school is very important in life and I'm trying to get my act together now so I can live a happy life after this. My school experiences have helped me realize a lot of things in life, even things that aren't related to school. Hopefully I can leave here and be happy after this. It's up to me. I can't blame anyone but myself if it doesn't go as I dream. I guess I will find out in the near future. This is what school has done for me.

Greatest High School Obstacle

This year I decided early on that I did not want to take summer school so in order for me to do that I would need to pass all my classes with a C or higher. I got a D in biology first quarter but I found out Ms. Davis is not teaching biology in the summer. So from that point on I knew I couldn't get a D at all for the rest of the year. So I got my act together and always made sure that I didn't fall behind so I wouldn't have to stress to much near the grading period. But now I get to go to Idaho for a month and a half so I am super excited. This has been my biggest obstacle, so far.

Trip to the ER

Yesterday during football practice, I found myself in the waiting room of the Emergency room. You might ask yourself how does that make sense? But the way it was possible is because I left early because I had an accident with Labari during the first hour of practice. His elbow smashed into my chin and then my top two teeth punctured my lip and went straight through it. It was bleeding so bad that I had to go to the office. When I got to the office they told me I needed to go to the Emergency room, I went and waited their for 4 hours just so they can put glue in the cut and prescribe me antibiotics. It was a complete waste of time. Thhis is my trip to the ER.

Prom Night

Friday night was prom night and I have to say it was a lot better than last years. Everybody was dancing, the food was pretty good even though I don't like Roast Beef. Even the vegetables were good. They even had ice cream towards the end which was the perfect desert at the time. I went dressed in Green and White. Thankfully I was the only person who wore green and it looked good so I was happy with how everything played out. We got home from prom at about 11 o'clock. As soon as I got home I took everything off and went straight to bed. Thats how my prom night went.

Field Trips

This week has been a field trip filled week. Tuesday I went to the dairy farm with peers of mine from our biology classes, then on Thursday Mr. Beedle took all of his Spanish and Art classes on a field trip to La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art and to the San Diego County Office of Education to view art that was made by both great artist's and very artistic students. The trip to the Dairy Farm was very weird to me. The main farmer their stuck his whole arm up a cows anus. It was super disgusting! It just wasn't my type of job that would attract my interest. Pretty disgusting if you ask me. Then the field trip with Mr. Beedle was more relaxed and just view art at your own pace. I really enjoyed it. Especially eating near the beach. That was a fun experience to enjoy with my peers. Overall the field trips were very fun and interesting. Plus its always good to be able to have fun during school hours.

Kids in the Mud Scene

Characters: Sally, 6 years old and very outgoing. & Carl, 7 years old and very goofy.
Setting: On the driveway of a house covered in sand.
At Rise: Sally & Carl are playing in the sand talking about the fun they are having.

Sally:
(Rotating her arms and hands through the sand)
I love the sand Carl, don't you?

Carl:
(Playing in the sand)
Yes I love the sand and the beach, but we live far away from the water.

Sally:
I'm glad your mommy bought this sand.

Carl:
Yeah, momma says this is as close to the beach I'll get in a while.

Sally:
Your mommy is awesome.

Carl:
Yeah, she bought me a new shovel and bucket too.

Sally:
(Grabbing the shovel and bucket)
Yey! Lets make some sand castles!

Carl:
(Replying in excitement)
Lets do it! But I don't know how?

Sally:
I do! I'll teach you, my mommy taught me.

Carl:
Really? Your mommy is awesome too!

Quote, Summary, or Paraphrase Paragraph

As we all may not know, it is extremely important to know how to quote people of saying's you have used, to be able to summarize a book, or even paraphrase it. A quote would be needed to give a writer and communicator his or her credit for what they have said. Otherwise it would be considered plagiarism if you didn't. A summary comes important when a friend ask's you about a movie you just saw and what it was about. Some may not have time for a full summary so they can just give you the main ideas of the movie with a paraphrase. This may sound the introduction to my lesson but this is it! It is this simple! To summarize is to restate the story, a paraphrase is the restating of main ideas, and a quote is something said by someone else. Just go over this a couple times and I'm sure you will get the hang of this!

Posters in the Hall

I do believe that it is somewhat wrong because like it was stated in the directions, it needs a lot more diversity. Its not too big of a deal but I do agree that their should be quotes from people of every descent and not just one. It wont hurt nobody to hear the opinions of people other than just one race or ethnicity. Their are millions and millions of people on Earth and I'm sure it's not that hard to find a couple quotes from people who are not caucasian. Diversity is a good thing. It might even give you insight on a few ways people of a different ethnicity or race do thinks differently from you. This is how I feel about the hallway posters.
