LETS BEGIN to commence, i have enjoyed this class as a whole. the teaching technique in this classroom has been overwhelming. the professor in this class has taken time to assure that all students understand the concept of the lectures. the professor has a strange but unique way of trying to grasp the pupils attention, for example the way the teacher hollers and shouts for everyone to have there undivided attention given to him. i am leaving this class with a meaningful and important information based on communism and capitalism. i have read some swell excerpts and novels. i enjoyed learning about the Mississippi river and reading about the adventures of huckleberry Finn. this was a good meaningful novel.This has been a quiet peculiar experience in this 3rd period. i had fun in this class getting to know my classmates and my morose professor. O .k now to explain the effect the teacher with his undefined attention has scarred me . the hollering that was held in this classroom has caused damage to my poor little heart. lol. j/k. overall i enjoyed the class and teacher he is different from other teachers he tends to show his personality and makes the students feel welcome, making the feel comfortable. SO BRING IT BRING BACK SON. 1. HOLLA AT YOUR GIRL. LOL. AU REVOIR , BON PROFESSOR(FRENCH).= BYE GOOD TEACHER.
SICERELY, SUZANE RIVERA .A.K.A.JUANITA. YOU DAMN PUERTO RICAN.

Please log on to cnn.com, fox.com or msnbc.com and read one current event. Give a 2 paragraph summary and your interpretation of the events.

The title of my article was Eight Students Injured in Florida Bus Crash. this article was about how Eight middle school students were injured Thursday after their school bus crashed with a minivan on their way to school in Valrico, Fla., MyFoxTampaBay.com reported A Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman said the students were not seriously injured in the Thursday morning accident. some authorities explained that the accident The bus had 28 students on board headed to Mulrennan Middle School, about 15 miles east of Tampa.The driver of the van ran a stop sign and struck the bus on the left side, authorities said. fire rescue has informed sources that the driver of the van needed to be extracted from the vehicle and was airlifted to Tampa General Hospital.

I feel bad for the kids that were injured. i hope that they recover soon. also i hope that they have a good place to rest and hopefully this chaos can recover pretty soon. hopefully the kids family can be supporting and understand that everyone was affected through this tragic event and they should all cope together, and see what they can do for families that may be in need because they may not have insurance for their kids. anything can happen, and so everyone should be involved. That's what i interpret from this article.

But he does want to know ... who's hot now and who's not and who's making this much dough and who's boffing this woman or that one. he wants to remain ignorant of all this.he wants to be totally outside and far away from all of it. Johnny Depp says that he has learn to keep his private life private. at times he enters restaurants through the kitchen and hotels through the parking garage. Johnny Depp does not feel that his life is any one else entertainment and i do agree with what he says. i believe that some artist want their lives to out in the open so that they can have more attention from the audiences. in a part i understand that he would like to keep his life private because in some part he does not want his whole life out in the open he does not want people to know his life like an open book. His friend and mentor Marlon Brando taught Depp to keep his private life private.
"That's your world and it's nobody else's business," he recalls Brando saying. "It's not anybody's entertainment."

the title of the article i read was titled Young women drink, party, post. this article was about a web page that was titled Thirty Reasons Girls Should Call it a Night" -- is humiliation and embarrassment. this web page shows what these women do when they are in clubs and all sorts of things that show a bad side of young ladies who had to much to drink.Many photos on the site are accompanied by full names and the colleges the women attend, apparently without much concern that parents, or potential employers, will take a look. T his web page should be a wake up call for some of these ladies that have not a care in the world on how people would look at them and say some negative things about them. the page catches women at there worst times. this shows on of the many consequences faced by the consumption of alcohol. in the page for instance it shows a woman who appears with a bruised and bandaged face ("I just got drunk and fell out of a car," she writes.) the woman take these pictures and put it in the web site as a form of pride. this situation has made many adults -- teachers, counselors, parents -- worry that students aren't thinking through the consequences of showing themselves drunk to the world. in one case a former member of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism's Committee on Campus Drinking says that You can't overstate how unthinking these kids are at 18, 19, 20 years old," said Robert L. Carothers, he also sates that They're not a thoughtful bunch, by and large." i think that he in some part is right. some of these pictures can show why some men degrade women and this is why some teen girls think that getting drunk and acting out is OK if other people do it as well.

O but of course; “when don’t I have a job to do.” almost all the time. I have multiple amount of chores to do, first of all I have to go and clean my room, then I have to clean my kitchen, wash the dishes, sweep the floors, do my parents bed.

On Fridays I basically clean my whole house myself. Why I have to these chores you ask; well because if I don’t then who will? “You, I think not.” I have to do these things in order to keep the house nice and neat. That way I don’t have to be stuck in my house cleaning on the weekends, that’s how I have a chance to go out with my family. If like doing these chores, well I really don’t mind on Fridays or Saturdays because that’s when I find myself alone and can have the chance to really clean without cleaning over everyone else in the house I can be by myself. I do enjoy cleaning my house because I know that I can have the advantage as to when I go off to college I can live knowing that I won’t have a messy house.

In this matter i belive that calling this man hispanic to describe what he looks like is not a racist stament. i can acknoledge the fact that hispanic is an ethnic but in the terms to get a better understanding of what the man may look like it seems to be alright. the way that police identify a person by saying if they are hispanic; thids has a better way to knoewthat the man probably speaks spanish.he may speak both languages. in a way they should have been specific and say that the man is a "dark skin" hispanic or white .to me just the fact that he is a rapist shouldnt justify if he is black, white or hispanic.

The best lesson i was ever taught by my grand-parent is that life has many challenges and obstacles, it is up to us that we learn how to cope with them.this is what my grandmother has always informed me.she has also told me that no matter what happens between you and a friend; friends come and go, but your family will always be there for you through thick and thin.my grand-mother has always told me these tips in life because she's been through allot , so she has informed me of these things because she says that she does not want her granddaughter going through the hard times in life that she has had to under go.

Describe a dream that you had recently. Provide as many details as possible. What do you think the dream meant? Did it disturb you or did it make you feel good? Why?

A dream that i have had recently was that i was dancing or doing something weird, all of a sudden i fell and then my tooth was pushed back. later as i kept walking i went to the bathroom, then i went and open my mouth as i looked in the mirror and suddenly all my teeth fell out at once with blood and all that extra stuff. i did not see through the end of my dream be cause i woke up. heck yeah i believe the dream was definitely disturbing. this made me feel really bad because i did not have a clue what my dream meant. i asked my mother what was the meaning of my dream and she told me that it meant someone close to me would past away. a dream with teeth falling may mean death in the family. this id my most recent dream so far.

Would you like to be on TV? Why? What would you like to do? What show would you like to be on?

Well, i would like to be on t.v as an extra. that's about the only way i would step foot in front of a camera. i would like to be on the Parker's. i would like to be an extra because of the fact that the seem to have allot of fun while the show is going on.i would not really want to be in front of the camera because i get butterflies in my stomach, and i just choke up; its really silly if i think about it. in these events of being an extra in the Parker's show is to just enjoy myself . i know that this show already has ended all episode but the one episode that i would want to be a part of would be the one with Kim having a Halloween party on her birthday, and everyone was in on a prank that a serial killer was after her. i would want to be a part of that show because i enjoy the Halloween spirit. that would be the only way that i would actually be seen in front of a camera. i don't know the spotlight does not really call my attention, but that's just me. o well.

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."

What is your favorite form of creative expression? If I were to ask you to pick one art that you could best express yourself through, which would it be? Of all the arts, which do you enjoy the most to view or listen to and which do you enjoy most to participate in. Are they the same?

MY FAVORITE FORM OF EXPRESSION IS THROUGH READING. THE WAY I EXPREES MY SELF THROUGH READING IS WHERE AS I GO TO MY ROOM AND READ STORIES OF NONFICTION, MYSTERY, AND NONFICTION.I ENJOY READING MOST OF ALL MYSTERIOUS BOOKS THAT DESCRIBE A CRIME SCENE OR STORIES THAT TAKE PLACE IN PROJECTS, SOMEWHERE WHERE IT INDICATES THAT THE CHARACTER WOULD BE FACING A DIFFICULT TIME. THROUGH READINDG STORIES THAT MAY IN FACT ALSO PRETAIN TO MY PERSONAL LIFE AS WELL, I LIKE TO TAKE THAT CHANCE AND WHAT THE OUTCOME OF THAT SPECIFIC CHARACTER MY ENCOUNTER .
I ALSO ENJOY EXPRESSING MYSELF BY LISTENING TO MUSIC THAT I FIND TO HAVE A RYTHM TO KEEP MY GOING. I LIKE TO ENDURE MYSELF IN THE BEAT OF THE SONG, AND THE LYRICS. I ENJOY LISTENING TO SONGS THAT HAVE A MORAL AT THE END OF THE SONG. BY TURNING ON THE RADIO I CAN JUST SIT AND LISTEN TO MUSIC, NEED NOT MATTER IF I AM MAD, ANGRY, FRUSTRATED, I RELEASE MY STRESS THRE THE SOUND OF MUSIC.

If you could go back in time and fix three mistakes, what would they be? What would you do differently? Do you believe that fixing these mistakes would change your life today? Describe how. Do you think you would make these mistakes again later on in life?

IF i were to go back to back and fix 3 mistakes i would first change the time my baby sister fell out of the bed. the fist thing i would change from my actions was when i went to the bathroom to get a towel to dry my sister up, at that time she was crawling so she crawled out of bed and fell. the second thing i would change would be ever ling to my mom about something personal. i perceive that if i would change any thing this would be one of those things that would not change but follow me through out this year.the last thing i would change would be to eat all my vegetables. i would go back and eat my vegetables even if i did not want to because i now see that they would help you grow, so therefore i wouldnt turn out so short. but thats life for you,you have to learn from your mistakes its part of life. people always make mistakes that is how we learn to become more wise.

To Initiate, I may perceive that certain close individuals may see me in various ways; but of course to narrow it down to just 10 qualities. I would have to say that to certain elite variety of close friends and family, some may see me as Strong, Caring, loving, open minded, intelligent, determined, sincere, mature(“at times.”), sensitive, and genuine. I perceive that my previous statement in fact could be considered direct, in doing so this may be because; I know that my actions at time can stand out more than words. As I portray myself I make sure to achieve my goals. I try to always keep an open-mind I distinguish this as a helpful tool in the future, I may come upon some events that I may have not been accustom to in the past by having this perspective of allowing things to flow as the proceed to happen. I may as well be considered to be a genuine person, because I am. I know that if I feel or react a certain way that is because I actually feel this way. I got nothing to lose; it’s just me against the world. That may just be my perspective. Everyone is different and genuine in their own way. I some times think that in every dark night, there is a bright day after that; so no matter how hard it gets stick your chest out keep your head up and handle it. That may be a better way of identifying my self and may explain how I perceive people see me as a whole and for this I feel great. If it is in fact the way my elite pupils look at me. I care for everyone that passes through my life because to me at least; I sense that we all have a purpose in this life time, and sometimes we come upon people who will indeed have a purpose and show us things that we were meant to find out. We all need someone to help us find our way. Its just me Suzane Rivera.

Read and interpret the following quote by Benjamin Franklin. Describe what you think it means. Do you agree with it, why or why not. Share any experiences that may help you describe your view.
“Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing”
-Benjamin Franklin
(1706-1790)

yes i agree with the statement that -Benjamin Franklin made, to be slow in choosing a friend ,slower in changing.i perceive that ,this statement is to be translated to be said to make sure who you consider to be friends with, but you should be also make sure what kind of influence you inquire from those friends be sure to stay positive and not to change as much. this saying may mean that someone has to be careful with who they hang around with but to also make certain that this friend does not change the way you see things differently, be true to your self. i can recall a time when i confronted myself with a friend that many people believe was a bad student. i was later thought of following in my friends foot-steps.i think that it may be true if you have friends that have a positive attitude you are most likely to have the same attitude as well, the same goes for friends that have a negative aspect of life. so choose your friends wisely is probably the best interpretation.

As we approach the halfway point in the first 9 weeks, which do you feel is the most demanding of all your classes? Are you finding it difficult to find your footing in school this year? Are you working particularly hard in any one area? How do you feel about the pace of this class so far? Is it meeting your expectations? Do you find it difficult?

As i approach the halfway point of the 9 weeks, I stop and deliberate about some of my 6 classes that i have this school year. the classes that are more demanding i have already narrowed it down to the top 2. The number 1 class is indeed this one in particular. my third period class which happens to be English, honors. I find this class to be as of now mild in difficulty, but then again the year is just beginning: this class may be difficult seeing how most of the work has to be done on computer. Some assignments that i am faced with have to come from videos on the Internet, which may come as a hassle when it has to buffer every 5 minutes. My second most demanding class is American history honors, I 'am not as overwhelmed with work so much as other classes but i do have to read and go over a large amount of note taking in the class. many quizzes and test in this certain class, as a student i have to have already come in the classroom ready to go over a long section in the class chapter.
the year is starting a little rocky to say the least, but i have to say that the classes are what and even more than i have expected. the classes may be a bit difficult, but as the time goes by i think that i will adjust to the changes in this years class activities. but i perceive that the classes I'm faced with this year may help as i go on to college in the future.

Describe in detail your biggest fear. Do you believe it is something that you can overcome? If so, can you do do by yourself or do you need help? When do you believe that you first acquired this fear? Do you believe that it is a rational or irrational fear? Do you think that it is a common fear or is it something particular to you? Do you parents know about it?

MY biggest fear ....I'd have to say, that my biggest fear of all may be death.. Dying at a very young age, may be the biggest fear that i think i will ever have. i fear that if i past on to another life so soon, i will leave many things behind that i never had the time to fully enjoy; i fear if i die so young i might not have achieved any of my goals that i have already set for myself. having this fear of death i perceive that i need not any help to overcome this dread, i perceive that as time goes by i will learn to accept the fact that death is indeed not an option at all. i believe that i first acquired this fear when i lost important people in my life an din the life of my family members that were also young, this happens many times when Young adults make absurd decisions.my parents know about this fear and they can see what caused me to developed this fear. one thing that i have learned is that i shouldn't follow my dreams, i should chase them. this may help me achieve many important goals that i have set for myself, before my time is up.

What do you believe is the most important right you have as an American? If you had to choose one right as being the most important to YOU, which would it be? Why is this the case? What would things be like if this right didn’t exist?

I'm an American Citizen and to start off the number one right that is important to me is the right to vote. To me the right to vote is an extremely important responsibility that most americans take loosly. I for one find the right to vote as a chance to have millions of people that live in this country have their voices heard. What would become of this place if we as American Citizens did not have a right to vote we would end up with any one taking over an as of now have people govern our countries in ways we may not agree on; seeing that as being a case we our facing as of now may me a righteousness of an example, if citizens would find the time to come togetheer and try to improve our economic downfalls instead of discouraging then we would all benifit..That is whythe right to vote may be a powerful right we as Americans have.

What is the definition of being an adult to you? Describe what it means to be “grown up”. Is it just a matter of age? What are some of the characteristics an adult has or should have?

TO COMMENCE, BECOMING AN ADULT IS AN ENORMOUS RESPONSIBILITY. TO BE CONSIDERED AN ADULT IS A CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL THAT TAKES RESPONSIBILITY UPONTHAT PERSONS ACTIONS.TO BE GROWN UP IS TO HAVE A CERTAIN AGE THAT ENABLES YOU TO DO OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT YOU WERE NOT ALLOWED TO DO PROBABLY ABOUT A YEAR AGO. TO BE CONSIDERED A GROWN UP MAY JUST BE A MATTER OF AGE. SOME CHARACTERISTIC THAT AN ADULT SHOULD OR MAY HAVE IS TO BE VERY COOPERATIVE AND UNDERSTANDING TO OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT MAY MISINTERPRIT WHAT ONE HAS SAID. AN ADULT HAS TO BE VERY RESPONSIBLE HE/SHE HAS TO UNDERGO MANY OTHER OBSTICLES THAT THEY WERE NOT PREPARED FOR IN THE PAST. AS YOU MATURE AND REACH A CERTAIN AGE YOU ARE THEN CONSIDERED AN ADULT.
