Greatest High School Obstacle

I have had many obstacles my last two years of high school but one to me stands out the most. The one that stands out to me is when I had to earn a 3.5 GPA to stay on the volleyball team. I knew I could do it but it took a lot of hard work. I had little room for error but with consistent focus and doing my homework everynight I was able to pull it off thankfully. I know I can do a lot better than what I am right now, I just need to put in the effort. This to me has been the greates high school obstacle, but I'm certain more will be on the way.

I don't get life

Sometimes I question why life has to be so hard. Like if it was easy no one would ever have to stress, tears will never have to be shed and anger wouldn’t be an issue. People say god did this for a reason but in my opinion why would you want to make us go through this? You say it’s so we learn and live out our problems. Well my problems are learning me like no one has before and tearing my world apart. I understand why kids commit suicide. Life is hard and they feel like they are alone. It’s pretty sad that some one so powerful such as god is making us go through this! Deep inside I cry out for help. I don’t know what else to do. Therapy, medication,”friends” but nothing seems to help. Maybe if I wasn’t so nice and caring people wouldn’t do me wrong. Who knows but it’s my turn to find out!

This weekend was the SPAfest. Friday I practiced from 1:30- 4:30 and found out that everybody in the talent show had to help set up after practice. Only five people helped set up including me. After placing tables and chairs all over campus I still had to come home and make a dessert. Marcus, Becky and I made rice crispy treats and then made two whole bowls for ourselves. Saturday morning I woke up at 8:30 to go get my nails done and find the finishing touches for my dance crews outfits. I came back and got ready with Tierra and Becky. Then our families started to arrive and we all introduced each other. We went to the talent show and my dance group went last. If it was a competition our group would have won it all. We got so many compliments as a group and individually. After the talent show I introduced my boyfriend Marcus  to my dad. They had talked over the phone before and my dad was really happy I found someone like him. Marcus, my family and I all played relay races with eggs, whip cream, pillow cases water balloons, and lot’s more. After family day was over I took a shower hung out with Marcus. There was a dance but Marcus and I did not go because we were super exhausted. After Marcus went home I went right to bed and slept like a baby.

"Switch" Play Audience Member Experience

Today the sophomores and juniors went on a field trip to see a play called “Switch”. In my eyes I felt that the play was about not just having a group home or a foster home to go to but, a loving home. As a foster kid you tend to go to many different schools and can’t find a safe, loving, and caring home. Today I learned that lots of people don’t know what it’s like to be a foster kid but they feel the pain we go through just imagining what it would be like to lose their kids.

Fourth Quarter Kickoff

When the day started off we watched a movie that I had no idea what it was about. I fell asleep like twice but woke up because everyone was laughing really loud so I just strayed awake. We then went to lunch afterwards and we had pizza. I didn't eat because both first and second lunches were mixed together which made the line even longer. I ate fat ball reduced Oreos which were very gross but I ate it because I was hungry. After lunch, my team and I were suppose to play softball but the softball field was flooded so we played "Wiffel ball". I didn't play because I just took up space so that I could get credit for the day. After "Wiffel Ball" My team and I played " Capture the flag". I decided to play this game also but I stopped because I got hit in the face. The last game I barely played but I still got credit. I went home then to practice.

Fourth Quarter Goals

My greatest accomplishment for 3^rd quarter was achieving a 3.0 GPA. To achieve that I was always staying focused homework and class work. I made sure that everything was turned in and completely finished and if there was an error with my work I talked to the teacher. My goal this quarter is to get higher than a 3.0 to get scholarships and make my college road easier to drive down. I hope that I achieve this goal because in the future it will really help me.

"Remeber" Paragraph

Entering the poets world, I think she wrote this story and published it because she wanted to let the readers know that we are one and we are the earth. For example, she could have wrote this because she felt that the world that we live in today is what we are. Another example, If i were a poet I would have published this because nature is beautiful can be apart of anything. A final example, If I were to make a poem and have it published I would have made plenty of nature because we make it beautiful , but we can also destroy  destroy it. This poem made me feel like I should take care of the earth more.

Imagery in a Song

The name of the song is “Never Say Never” by Justin Bieber. An image from this song would be I never thought that I could walk through fire”. It means to me that I’ve been through the most painful stuff in my life.  Also, an image from this song would be “I’m fast enough to run across the sea. To me it means that if a situation with my family or friends I’d get over it because I wouldn’t let it drown me. Last but not least, “Like David and Goliath I conquered the giant”. The biggest problems that I think I can’t handle, I will someday conquer them. When I hear this song I feel like I can handle any fear or problem and I won’t give up. I will never say never when it’s something I can overcome.



Send "Never Say Never" Ringtone to your Cell




See I never thought that I could walk through fire.

I never thought that I could take the burn.

I never had the strength to take it higher,

Until I reached the point of no return.



And there's just no turning back,

When your hearts under attack,

Gonna give everything I have,

It's my destiny.



I will never say never! (I will fight)

I will fight till forever! (make it right)

Whenever you knock me down,

I will not stay on the ground.

Pick it up,

Pick it up,

Pick it up,

Pick it up up up,

And never say never.



I never thought I could feel this power.

I never thought that I could feel this free.

I'm strong enough to climb the highest tower.

And I'm fast enough to run across the sea.



And there's just no turning back,

When your hearts under attack,

Gonna give everything I have,

Cause this is my destiny.



I will never say never! (I will fight)

I will fight till forever! (make it right)

Whenever you knock me down,

I will not stay on the ground.

Pick it up,

Pick it up,

Pick it up,

Pick it up, up, up,

And never say never.



Here we go!

Guess who?

JSmith and Jb!

I gotcha lil bro.

Justin Bieber Never Say Never lyrics found on http://www.directlyrics.com/justin-bieber-never-say-never-lyrics.html



I can handle him.

Hold up, aight?

I can handle him.



Now he's bigger than me,

Taller than me.

And he's older than me,

And stronger than me.

And his arms a little bit longer than me.

But he ain't on a JB song with me!



I be trying a chill

They be trying to side with the thrill.

No pun intended, was raised by the power of Will.



Like Luke with the force, when push comes to shove.

Like Cobe with the 4th, ice water with blood.



I gotta be the best, and yes

We're the flyest.

Like David and Goliath,

I conquered the giant.

So now I got the world in my hand,

I was born from two stars

So the moon's where I land.



I will never say never! (I will fight)

I will fight till forever! (make it right)

Whenever you knock me down,

I will not stay on the ground.

Pick it up,

Pick it up,

Pick it up,

Pick it up, up, up,

And never say never.



I will never say never! (I will fight)

I will fight till forever! (make it right)

Whenever you knock me down,

I will not stay on the ground.

Pick it up,

Pick it up,

Pick it up,

Pick it up, up, up,

And never say never.

Dream House Paragraph

My dream house would be something like a mansion. I see t.v's, pools, cars, and bedrooms. I can taste the dinner that my maid has made for me. The items in the house feel like a million dollars because they are so expensive. I smeel money everywhere and all over the house. I hear al;l the t.v's playing differnet movies and t.v shows. I will finish high school and get a job.

Third Quarter Goals Reflection

My goals are to have a 3.0 and to stay off 2 for as long as I can. Having a 3.0 is a high standard that I have set for myself. I will try my hardest to complete this goal. I have completed all of my homework assingments and classwork assingments that have been required of me. I'm working on focusing in class in order to get my homework assigments done at home. I need to not get distracted while doing my homework at home. I expect to get an award at the end of the quarter for my hard work.

" Animal Farm" Character Symbolic Meaning Paragraph

In the story "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, the character Boxer represents hard-worker. For example, he sets his mind to working hard for Napoleon."I will work harder for Napoleon and the revolution". This shows that he won't let anything get in the way of him. In addition, he also obeys Napoleon as his leader. This shows that he is also a good listener. People who are hard-working and good listeners usually get good things out of life that come back to them.

Animal Farm to the Real World

In the story Animal Farm by George Orwell, not following the commandments has allegorical meaning. For example,in the story if you didn't follow the seven commandments you would lose your life for disobeying. This represents the real world when you also disobey the law which could lead to prison, and if more than the death penalty. Additionally, if you didn't get put to death you would loose the trust in the world and be known for the world's most wanted. Even though most stories are written for children I enjoyed reading it.

San Pasqual Academy Dragons Symbolism

The mascot of San Pasqual Academy is a Blue Dragon. Webster defines Dragon's as a mythical monster generally represented as a huge winged reptile with a crested head, often spouting fire. First, I would like to analyze mythical. Mythical is a word that describes stories that are symbolic. When, it comes to foster youth society has a lot of myths about us. For example, were just like any ordinary kids. We cry, laugh, have dreams, aspirations and we hope to make a difference in the world. Secondly, I'd like to explain the definition of monster. Monster is defined any animal or human grotesquely deviating from the normal shape, behavior, or character.  Although, we don't always make good choices and our behaviors are hard to understand, we still do want to be successful. Lastly, the spouting fire thing. We our youth with troubled childhoods  and can be angry. We have to deal with our past so we don't mess up our future. Dragons are very strong and frightening and being a foster youth, we have the choice to be powerful and make positive choices. If we make the wrong choices, we could continue down the negative path that brought us into the foster care system which would be frightening to our future. I am happy to be a dragon.

"Through the Tunnel" Foster Youth initiation

Even though they don’t have to swim through a tunnel like Jerry in “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, foster youth are initiated in and out of the foster care system. Foster children move different schools and don’t get their full education. Second, foster kids move from family to family and have to meet new people which can affect the way they bond or the way they treat people. Last but not least, when foster children age out of the system if they don’t have some kind of learning plan, they will be in deep trouble not being taught how to prepare for the real world. As a result of this initiation, students can learn about opportunities they can have outside of the foster care system.

"Through the Tunnel" Prove Yourself Paragraph

A time I felt I needed to prove to myself by achieving something that was difficult and challenging was when I first started playing basketball my freshman year. I had to practice as hard as I could to get to where I am now. I watched the re-turners and I followed every step they took in a positive way. After all I got what I wanted, which was to become famous on the court. In the end of every game it feels good to hear how much my fans tell me that I’m so great at basketball. Now that I’ve reached my goal I want to help the new comers take my place and also share the fame that feels good to have on the basketball court.

House Symbols

This Volume button symbolizes our house which is Girls 9. To most people this item is just a volume button. To us, this represents people who can be loud and full of energy whenever you are down. Our house is very outgoing and out spoken. There is nothing you can do to stop us from saying what we have to say. I love this about my house because when it comes to right and wrong, either way we’ll get our point across.

Third Quarter Goals

      My greatest accomplishments of 2010 was being 2 points away from a 4.0 during the first quarter of the school year. I tried to at least get a 3.0 for Volleyball season which is what our coach required to play, but when I added up all my grades it made me 2 points away from somewhere I thought I'd never be.  I focused and studied hard and my goal was to try and have 2 A's.After I saw how close I was I thought positive to keep that GPA.

      My goal for this quarter is to keep a 3.0 GPA so that it makes my transcripts look good when I attend college.For me to achieve this I will complete my class and homework assingments everyday for each class. I will study hard to pass my test and finals I recieve. At last I will try to go to school everyday without missing as usual. This is my current goal.

My Up and down Day

So today for some reason just wasn't my day. I was happy 1-5th period, and I ignored eveything and eveyone I knew that would get to me. The sixth period came and I had alot on my mind. I went home and was happy all of a sudden. I spent some quality time with my ousemates and had lot's

Chilean Miners Rescue

As I read different articles I had many different thoughts going through my head, but the one feeling that hit me every time was staying strong. I say this because in one of the articles said “We had strength, we had spirit, we wanted to fight, we wanted to fight for our families, and that was the greatest thing” says Luis Urzua. Luis Urzua was the  33rd miner to be rescued. The article also stated “In nearby Copiapo, about 3,000 people gathered in the town square, where a huge screen broadcast live footage of the rescue.” I find that very caring that other people from different cities would support such a tragic moment like that. If I were in that situation I think that I would of cried and wanted to be put out of my misery. Everyone who was there to guide them through that horrible situation has a great heart.
