my reflection

This hasn’t been the best year for me, but if I could go back I wouldn't change any thing. Everybody makes mistakes, and learn from them. So for me I will take all my down faults and put them to good use next year. In the beginning of the year I told my self I would only get A's and B’s, but things didn’t exactly turn out that way. I meant what I said about trying my best, and I did; but you don’t win every time you play a game. I know I will get it net time.
What this school year taught me besides my schoolwork, was trust? I realized I could trust ever one who called me their friends, because the ones who did are the ones who tore me down the most. I realized everyone wasn’t going to be loyal and trustworthy, everybody was different. And some, not in a good way. Yeah, I had to take it under the chin, that things like this happens, and things happen for a reason. (Hopefully a good one). Things this year really didn’t go how I planned it to, but this is only the start. I wont say I have time, but I have hope that things will smoothen out next year!
Have your opinions about people or the world changed since last year?
Yes it has. My school last year was like one big happy family, and coming to high school I thought it would be the same. With the teachers and students, but I have learned, its not! Maybe because I was use to the people I was around, wouldn’t you for 3 years? But since this was my first year I high school, I thought everyone would be mature and independent but it turned out people wee the complete opposite. The world is filled with different kind of people, and they all have a way of looking at life. Good and bad !!!!

finals are stressing

Finals are in a week , and a lot of students aren't ready. Complaining about what will be on these tests , and if they will past a lot. So I guess you can say , its some thing to stress about. The finals doesn't determine wheater you will go to the next grade or not , but it is an grade, that some students can afford and cannot afford. ( meaning if they score high or low ).

What if the more then half of students don't pass , then what ? We get punished, and get called names for that? I think the students had to learn their information from some where, so to get all the blame isn't right as a student. I'm not saying the test should be easy all the way through , but I think our feelings and thoughts should count. Now majority ( I believe ) of children will past and for the others , they did their best.
I don't think its right to put peopl down about their grades. Usually when a child gets a D adults see that as , a failure. They didn't try ,and they didn't want to try. But in most cases that is not true. What id they did try , just because they failed the first few times ( one or two ) doesn't mean they didn't try. You won't get perfect or score 100 every single time . Its a learning process that takes time. eventually they will get it , and keep on getting it , but adults don't see that half of the time. So yes , I think the finals are some thing to stress about for both students and teachers !

I Believe

One story we read in class was a "I believe" story. ABout a woman who believe that getting angry is okay, and it can be a good thing.In the story she explains how, getting angry lead her to a great place. When she was younger, she didn't exactly have the life she wanted. They told her, her parents belonged in an interment camp ( like in world war 2 with the japanese ). So when she got older, she got tired of people treating other they way her and her family got treated do she decided to do something about it. She got angry and took her steps, she helped 50immigrant families. she had down falls but she did what she had to do because she got angry

What do i think:I think getting angry doesn’t always help you to where you want to go to the place you want to go. I don’t completely agree, because to me it sounds like she saying being angry can only get you far and het you what you want. But the again it can help you for were you need to go (but that’s not the only choice you have). No more Mr. nice guy. Also I think she needs to be a little more clear on hat getting angry can make you do, it is a god and bad thing and doesn’t work in all problems. I think there’s a lot more to just getting angry, that a lot of people may not know about, so I agree and disagree.

brodacasting........whiteness

This Blog is going to be about TV shows that may be a problem for our world today. For example, TV shows that only have one race (two in a half men or girls) people think shows should be more diverse and not just all white or all black.

Why do you think there is not that many shows on network television (abc, nbc, cbs, fox) with diverse casts?
The problem with that is, they might not believe black people aren’t educated enough, or just not what there looks for. I also believe that a lot of people today are still races. And not only on TV shows. Television does have a lot of universe characters. Meaning, it seems like TV stations and TV shows are in two different world. White and black. IT shouldn’t be that way. People are marching around, yelling they love black people or they over white people or whatever the case my be, but in reality its all just for show or just to be on TV!

Have you ever watches a TV show you thought was racist? Explain what you saw and what you thought about it.
A TV show I show I thought was racist was ‘Family Guy”. Family Guy is very racist, they show how they think black people act or how they suppose to act, and that’s the am for white people. It’s a shame that’s what they think about African American people. For example if there were to be a hip-hop scene, they would make the black or white person speak wit slang language. I really don’t think that’s right; children watch that show and many others!

Gun Fashion

i think the idea of making clothes to hide your gun is a very brainless idea. I mean who in the world came up with this plan. I have a lot of questions to ask, but probably wont get answered. For example, why did they let clothes lines, and fashion desingers make clothes for this type of activity, it just doesn't make since!If we were allowed to carry guns just because, this would really be an unsafe world for every one. I thought they were trying to make the world better by taking away guns, not bring them in to our lifes even more. Why would you want to support this. “Do you think this ‘trend’ in fashion will continue and more and more clothing manufacturers will create clothes for guns?” I do think if this trend becomes popular more and more clothing lines will make clothes for gun. Only because they want money, they might not really care about the fact that every one is carrying a gun, they are just worried about how much money they will make off of the product! “Do you think Americans should be allowed to carry guns?” I completely disagree. Now I am for people carrying around guns with a license, but with out one am just asking for trouble. I have heard in America some K-Marts sale guns over the coner (with a 3 day back round) but just the idea scares me. Some one is able to just buy guy with out any papers signed. What about the children in this world, what about there say. Also the adult that disagrees with this new law or rule. It just isn’t far !

Our health here at Parkway west

At our health fair at parkway west, a lot of people learned a lot of different things. About STD's and the different types they have. the effects and the how they may occur. About safe sex, and our health. First i will like to talk about, STD's, I have read the booklet and it shared a lot informational things with me. For example, herpes, can be spead during sex ( unprotected) and possible protected. Also it cannot be cured and it can be prsented for many years with no symtoms. Another STD I will like to talk about is Trichomiasis ( trich ) it is mainly for men.. that also can be spreaded during sex. Contuining the man can get an unhealty infection !! Last but not least I want to talk about Hepatitis B. It is another STD. But this can be recovered completely if you take all the right treatments for It. Now I will like to talk about the health part of the fair.I have been seeing at our lunch , we have been tryin to serve us health snacks and I think that's a good idea. But I also think , after that 1serving of health food , child buy 10more thingsof bad food , from the machines & from the things they have been selling. So that hass a cause and effect. I also think they give us the health choice because its there jobs not because they really want to , and that is understandable. But they sould do it with at least a little more care ! :)

Trayvon Martin

I didnt know him, but I heard about him and his case.

What that man did to him was unexplainable, who would have know rascim still roamed the earth today. A lot of people have there sides of trayvon and his killer, but to me there should be no sides. There is a lot of edvidence on trayvon's killer. Youtube videos , abc news and more. they said his killer called the cops about 42 times beofore trayvons call, they also said the man was drunk and had a record of beating on his wife.
As you heard the story before trayvon was walking to the store for an tea, and candy and just happened not to return home :( . Trayvon had tatoo's , he got suspended , and sold drugs. One of many teenages. The man that killed him said where he lives, you shot first and ask questions later. But if you are running after someone who wants nothing to do with you, your the one who is asking for trouble ( hes running from you , but you go after him ). Even the cops told NOT to run after him, but the man still did. So to me, he's asking for trouble!
A lot of people are getting involed with his case, a lot of famous people too. I cant think of what his mom and family is going through. Knowing how he died and what he died for.
When they finally found Trayvon Martin he was held with the police for a hour because the thought he didnt live ( couldnt afford ) to be in that neighborhood. Trayvon is now gone and everybody is praying for him and are doing what they can to help his family !
R.I.P Trayvon Martin
