If you could be given one skill or ability, which would you want, why would you want it and what would you do with it be?

IF i had the ability to disappear. i would choose to have the ability to disappear because in my experience at times i come upon situations that i profoundly do not want to be involved in. if i had the power to disappear i would leave out of any situation, i would sneak in an air plane an travel around the world for FREE!. i see that i can also sneak into places and hear things that some people may be hiding. i would also, in fact like to use this power in order to over hear things that are going on in government as of now. i would find myself in many predicament s that i think i would enjoy. At times i really dont know what i would do but theres always something so i' ll just think of any thing that comes my way.

Write about the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to you. What was it? What made it so frightening? How old were you? Would it be scary again today if it happened again?

OMG! the most frightening thing that has ever happen to me would be the time that i lost my baby. it was in the mall that she let go for a split second . she; i guess got scared and noticed that she was lost so my sister started crying. i was terrified to know that i had lost her in the mall the size of that place; any one could get lost especially a little 1 year old baby girl. i was running around every where searching for the baby we were all calling and looking for her. i started running and calling her name, looking under the rackets and everything. i finally found my baby sister crying for us. luckily she was at an open area where they sold shoes in Dillard's and i got to see her there . i got her and gave her a big hug. this would have to have been the most terrifying moment in my life, at this time i was 15 yrs old.the fact that i was in a mall and so many people were in there made it even more difficult to find my sister, i felt my heart drop. i was bursting in to tears , screaming, running , all these negative emotions all at once. i never want to ever experience that moment again. at any time would that have been a frightening moment in my life.

Write about the most exciting thing that ever happened to you. What was it? What made it so exciting? How old were you? Would it be exciting if you did it again?



The most exicitng thing that has ever happened to me would have had to been the time when my cousin,sister and i went to bayside for my cousins birthday, during the time we were there we ate lunch and then we went to starbucks to get a cd burn ed. After we finish walking around i saw a tattoo shop open so i got myself a tattoo done on my arm. "J/K"=) but i did get a hannah tattoo on my arm, to see what it would look like when i actually do get a tattoo. finally when i was dropped off i called my mom to inform her that i will go back to mycousins house to go to the movies, she said find but then she said that my cousin would have to sllepover my house because she live in kendall and it was to late to take her back home. when we got to cousins house we decided to go and purchase some movies insted since she did not want to stay in miami and she wanted to go back to kendall. so since my sister could dive we went and drove her back home at kendall. my mom noticed that we were not in miami or any where near the house so we ended up getting punished and the keys to the car taken away. this was all so fun all at once. but it was worth getting punished , at least thats what i thought until i actually got in trouble. but o well. thats life, that just life experience.

Write about a belief you've discarded. Talk about why you no longer believe in this belief?

TO START OFF, I NO LONGER BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUSE. I HAVE IN THE PAST FOUND MYSELF BELIEVING THAT THERE WAS A MAN WHO CAME DOWN A CHIMNEY AND BROUGHT YOU GIFTS IF YOU WERE A GOOD PERSON THIS YEAR. I BEGAN TO BELIEVE THAT SOME OVERWEIGHT MAN WOULD BE WATCHING ME THROUGH OUT THE YEAR. I WOULD SOME TIMES BECOME A BIT PARANOID LOOKING UP IN THE AIR , LOOKING OUT FOR REINDEER'S.
LATER ON IN THE YEARS I TOOK THE TIME TO ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE I DON'T HAVE A CHIMNEY IN MY HOUSE SO WHERE IS ST. NICHOLAS GOING TO COME DOWN FROM. ANOTHER REASON FOR WHICH I DISCARDED THIS BELIEF IS FOR THE SAME REASON THAT HOW CAN AN OVERWEIGHT INDIVIDUAL FIT THROUGH A CHIMNEY. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT REASON THAT I NO LONGER BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUSE IS THAT AT THE AGE OF 5 I CAUGHT MY PARENTS PUTTING THE GIFTS UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

What holidays does your family celebrate (like Christmas, Kwanzaa, or Hanukkah)? What do you do on those holidays?

THE holidays that my family celebrate are Christmas, thanksgiving, new years etc.. the ways that my family and i celebrate these holidays is that we gather together and celebrate in one house, and just hang out we put loud music, dance, and eat the appetizers that are available on the living room area. this is what we mostly do on new years and then we wait to the count down. after the count down we give each other hugs&kisses and then go outside and fire up some fireworks. on Christmas my family and i would celebrate by gathering at the dining room table and eat our feast, then we gather under the Christmas tree, and open our present then we spend the dancing and just having fun. THAT'S how me and my family roll on holidays. or just do w/e we want.

Write about your favorite and least favorite teachers. Why do you like them or dislike them? What can they do to be better teachers in your eyes?



My favorite teachers are my history, reading teachers. these teachers are nominated by me as my favorite teacher because Mr.Goddard is my favorite teacher in history class because he gives lectures after we finish reading our section in our chapter he gives us notes and also has a presentable way of giving lectures and letting us participate without any penalty. Mr.Goddard is a comical teacher in his own way i really understand this class and his way of teaching. he really is a good person and teacher all the way around. Next, my reading teacher Mrs.Shierman is my favorite reading teacher because the class has fun and we learn all at the same time. she lets us socialize in the condition that we finish what is being asked. Mrs. Shierman is a funny and serious , understanding teacher. she does not give us much work but we mostly get every thing done, you can say she is more of a sociable teacher.
AS for any of my least liking teachers, i really don't have any. other than the teachers that i have mention as my favorite teachers i really don't pay to much mind to any of the other teacher i just try my best to do the task that is required in order to pass that particular class. " I don't hate i appreciate".

Write about your best friends. Who are they? Why do you like them? What do you do together for fun?

MY best friends are, Allyson, Andrea, Stephanie. the reasons for my liking of friends is that we are like family, we are mostly all the time together but some times we need some space from each other and hang with other friends but at the end of the day we are found together again. my best friends and i go to the store , we go out and eat , we also go to the movies. with my best friends i enjoy going out and just hanging out with each other. Allyson is like the head of the group she is mostly the one looking out for us , telling us what we should or should not do. Andrea is also serious, she fun to hang around with, we usually have fun doing whatever we do. Stephanie is the noisy one out of all of us she like to talk allot about just anything she sometimes finds her self talking a bit out of line but she s a good friend. they are all important to me in their own special way. when we hang out together we end up having fun then when we found ourselves not having nothing to do.this is why they are my best friends.

Write about a time when you were brave. Describe the situation, do you believe that the experience made you a stronger person?

A time that i was brave would have had to been the time that i confronted a certain person in my life that may have had a powerful impact. in doing this i must explain that i confronted my father. this was a situation where i found that he was speaking lies about me, he told me that i was not doing what i had said that i was doing. he then made me feel very awful towards myself he made me believe what he thought was true, so for that mmatter i build up all my courage and then confronted him. i told him that what he was telling me was not at all near the truth, and then explained my part of the story. i considered myself brave at the fact that i confronted him and was not about to be passive toward the situation.i felt brave full of courage because i finally stood up for myself. this event made me realize that i am not the kind of person that would let someone accuse me of something i know that i have not done.

Write about a time when you were dishonest. Describe the situation, do you regret being dishonest?


Well, the most recent time that i caught myself as being dishonest may be too personal. so i'll write about another time when i was dishonest to my dad. it was on a weekday and school was out on early release, so i was with my sister and some friends we went to go out and eat since we did not stayafter school and eat lunch there. so later we left the restaurant which we enjoy our scrumpcious meal and walked back to the nail salon. after get my nails done i went home with my sister and noted that we had 4 missed call. little did we know that the school had already informed my parents that we had early release. so then we called our parents back and told them that instead of leaving at 11:55 we left at 12:30 because we ate lunch in school.i do to this day as i reminice about that time i do feel sort of guilty that i was dishonest to my self and my loved ones for that insignificant 2 hours that i spent out i was punished for 2 weeks. thererfore i try to inform them when the school is having an early release so that way i wont find myself ling to my parents and i can enjoy my free time. from this day on i vow to hopefully not lie every again. "hopefully".

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Heroes may seem old-fashioned today. Many people are cynical and seem to enjoy discrediting role models more than creating new ones or cherishing those they already have. Some people, moreover, object to the very idea of heroes, arguing that we should not exalt individuals who, after all, are only flesh and blood, just like the rest of us. But we desperately need heroes—to teach us, to captivate us through their words and deeds, to inspire us to greatness.
Adapted from Psychology Today, "How To Be Great! What Does It Take To Be A Hero?"Assignment:Is there a value in celebrating certain individuals as heroes? Plan and write a blog in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.



BUT OF COURSE!!TO BEGIN, THERE IS VALUE IN CELEBRATING CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS AS HEROES, THE FACT THAT I PERCEIVE MANY PEOPLE IN EVERY GENERATION ENCOUNTER MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., MALCOLM X, ROSA PARKS, GEORGE WASHINGTON AS HEROES. THESE VERY SIGNIFICANT INDIVIDUALS SHOULD BE CELEBRATED .AS HEROES THEY ARE A VERY SIGNIFICANT PART IN HISTORY, THEY'VE OPEN MANY DOORS TO OTHER PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT TIMES APART FROM THEIR OWN.
THESE ARE THE TYPE OF INDIVIDUALS THAT I CONSIDER HEROES AND YES THEY ARE FLESH AND BLOOD AS ANY ONE ELSE BUT ITS THEIR ACTIONS THAT HAVE SET THEM APART FROM EVERYONE ELSE, THEY WAY THEY WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR SURROUNDINGS AND ALSO STAND FOR WHAT THEY FELT WAS RIGHT. THESE HEROES NEED NOT BE IN RED COATS OR FLY ACROSS THE ATLANTIC TO FIGHT EVIL DOERS, THEY ARE RECOGNIZE AS HEROES BECAUSE IF YOU USE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR, HE BELIEVED IN ENDING SEGREGATION THRU NON- VIOLENCE ACTS. HE SEEM AS ONE MAN STANDING IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS, EVEN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SO HE CAN BE HEARD AND DISCUSS WHAT ACTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE LED HIS ARMY TO VICTORY AND FOR THAT HE IS KNOWN AS THE FIRST PRESIDENT. ROSA PARKS ALONG WITH MR.KING BOYCOTT THE BUS FOR THAT SHE WAS ARRESTED BUT LEFT HER MARK IN HISTORY, SHE HAS SHOWN THAT IF YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING GO THUR WITH IT AT WHAT EVER PRICE YOU SHALL TAKE. IF IT WERE NOT FOR THESE GLORIOUS PEOPLE WE WOULD NOT ALL SHARE THE SAME CLASSROOM AND LEARN THE SAME CURRICULUM, WE WOULD BE SEGREGATED BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN.SO AS FROM MY RECOLLECTION I SEE THESE INDIVIDUALS AS A VERY SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN HISTORY AND I CONSIDER THEM HEROES. FOR THIS REASON IS THE FACT THAT WE CELEBRATE MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY, PRESIDENTS DAY MEMORIAL DAY, NEED NOT MATTER WHAT DAY WE HAVE OFF FROM OUR OCCUPATION WE LIVE IN REMEMBRANCE OF WHAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO CHANGE IN FACT OUR FUTURE AND FOR THAT MATTER THEY ARE MY HEROES...

Describe the last vacation or holiday you took. what made it special? How long ago did it occur? Does having a fun necessarily have to involve a certain place or certain people? Hypothetically speaking, which would you rather take, a three day holiday spent at home, but with your favorite people to spend with your favorite people in the world, or three days anywhere you choose in the world (all expenses paid), but with no one you really know well.

THE LAST VACATION THAT I RECALL TAKING WOULD HAVE TO BE IN THE END OF AUGUST30. CONSIDER THIS DATE TO BE MY MOST RECENT VACATION BECAUSE I HAD TIME TO SPEND WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DEAR TO ME AND WE ALSO HAD A CELEBRATION. GOING ON WITH THE FACT THAT IT WAS A WEEKEND AND ALSO MY SIBLINGS' B-DAY. THIS ACTUALLY GAVE US ALL AN OPPORTUNITY TO BOND MORE WITH ONE ANOTHER, WE ENJOYED OURSELVES IN A RESTAURANT, THE BEACH AND JUST "CHILLING" AT HOME WITH EVERYBODY.HAVING FUN IN MY OBJECTIVE DOES NOT CONSIDER HAVING TO GO OUT TO ANY SPECIAL PLACE AT ALL, ALTHOUGH IT MAY COME IN HANDY IF WE RUN OUT OF THINGS TO DO.I RECKON THAT IF EVERYONE IN THE GROUP IS COMFORTABLE IN OUR SURROUNDINGS WE CAN FIND A MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF THINGS TO DO. I HAVE FUN WITH JUST BEING HOME WITH MY SISTERS AND COUSINS AT THE HOUSE JUST HAVING A LONG NON-STOP CONVERSATION, BE IT ABOUT THE PAST THAT WE ALL ENCOUNTERED TOGETHER ;THE THE EMOTIONAL ROLLER- COASTERS WE HAD TO RIDE WITH FAMILY ISSUES ,OR JUST TALKING AND LEARNING THINGS ABOUT EACH ONE OF US. I KNOW THAT WE WILL END UP HAVING A GOOD TIME.
HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, I WOULD ENJOY SPENDING A 3 DAY VACATION WITH MY FAVORITE PEOPLE THERE WITH ME. IF I ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH MY LOVED ONES I WOULDN'T ENJOY SPENDING MY VACATION WITH PEOPLE I HAVE NEVER SPOKEN TO OR IN A PLACE I' AM NOT ACCUSTOM TO. "THAT'S JUST ME."
