Persuading You to Read a Blog

Commenting and taking the time to look at a students blog means a lot to a student her at San Pasqual Academy. By receiving a comment on ones blog a student may obtain more motivation to do a better blog post then before. For example sense freshmen are transitioning from middle school into high school these may not realize that there writing skills may not be all that great. Student need to be informed in some sort of way that they need either to revise there blog which may consist of checking their grammar, rephrasing sentences etc. What better way then to let them know by checking out there blog post that students post continuously day after day so they can improve in their writing.

"The Legend" Paragraph.

After reading "The Legend" the point I believe the author was trying to make is that life is not always fair but there should be hope. For example people can work super hard for something they really want but it may not always pay off. The guy mentioned a story being told by his aunt while baking. They mentioned how in the universe the stars separate two lovers but one day when the sky is clear the stars open up and let the lovers be together. The basic point is what happens on earth all the hard work we put into everything we do it will pay off in the afterlife. Our reward will come after all the struggles we went through.

Sophomore Paragraph

Being a sophomore is being one step closer to adult hood. It also means a step closer to being older and growing up which includes being mature. As a sophomore preparing to enter 11Th grade our state of mind should be at a higher level then any underclassmen. Understanding that academics should be ones main focus if we want to be successful is also a main part in all throughout high school. Sophomores may look up to juniors and seniors but must always set an appropriate and responsible role model for freshmen. When hitting sophomore year one learns many lessons throughout the year but it's all part of growing up and moving forward. As a sophomore I have learned to mature and leave the baby stuff in a box. This is high school and my academics as well as myself have changed throughout time.

SPA Poem

Life on Campus

There's nothing much to do here

There's so much drama

It's like a riot or a cow gone crazy

However the sun and the wind comfort me

I feel her freshness and his heat come straight towards me

he is so bright I need to wear glasses and she is sometimes to strong she can blow me away

The mountains around me make me feel like that's all that's left but then I go on pass everything is alright

I come back and there plays the same song it's just as if I never left

A broken record with no one left

It's sad to see they torture each other when we are all so strong

Well, that's the story of SPA campus

Be glad you don't have to be near this sadness!

Today was an ok day because school to me was not as interesting as it normally is. Boys and girls basketball teams had a basketball game vs. Saint Joseph Academy Crusaders. Our basketball senior girls had there last game of the season. The lady dragons put up a good fight to win that game but in the end we lost. On the other hand the boys basketball team played as well they tied at the end of the forth quarter. Leading to overtime the boys lost by 2-3 points. They were all devastated when they found out they were done and were not making it to play-offs. I felt bad for them because some of them cried. Both boy and girl basketball teams tried there best did a great job. I loved playing this year and I am definitely going to miss our seniors especially our point guard but I am looking forward to next season. Great job everyone!

My Lyric Poem

A Guy I Used To Know

I knew this guy this guy was sweet
everyone cared about him and about him only
I expressed my feelings to him and in return I received nothing
I wonder if I'm supposed to feel sad,glad, or mad
I wonder if he only changes his way of being because of what people say
I wonder if i am simply not to good for him
Maybe I'm just the typical girl you wouldn't want to date or be part of your life
Well guess what!
I don't blame you I'm moving forward
it does not bug me that you don't see anything in me
but I see me
I see beauty, strength, honesty and love
I see the things you will never notice in me

Reflection paragraph

Today I enjoyed teaching my 5th period class. I believe I did a great job going around explaining the lesson plan for Ms. Priester's class. I made sure I sounded loud and clear and I made sure the students completed the class work which was a graphic organizer. When it was time for the students to get to work I made sure I went around the class and assist any student who did not understand what to do or needed help. I appreciated getting the opportunity to teach and experience what teaching is actually like. I had a guest reader come to the class and read. She did a spectacular job reading the poem. Creating the lesson plan was not as easy as it seamed but in the end it worked out and I enjoyed the experience.

Memorable Valentine's Day

I have never really had a memorable valentine day. I am not very used to celebrating it just because I never really had a valentine before. When I was like 5 and I was in Kindergartner I remember making little card for my aunt in class. I had a great imagination when I was young. I remember cutting little shaped hearts and putting glue on them and sticking them on a color background paper. I was always excited to give it to my sisters and aunt. I knew they appreciate it very much after all I was a little girl.

"I am Offering This Poem" by Jimmy Santiago Baca,"

The emotion that "I am Offering This Poem" by Jimmy Santiago Baca expresses is love. For example in the story the line "all I have to give,and all anyones needs to live" is demenstrating that love is what one needs in there life. With out love from family and friends the people would not have any sort of support. Causing one to feel depressed or alone and in many cases lonley. One needs conforting and the warmth of one another. With out love then what is life. It would be impossible to be a happy person without noone in one's life.

"Same Song" Paragraph

I do not think looking good is a priority. I believe that looking good should be something one should want to do out of one's self and not to impress someone else. They should do it to feel good or because they simply feel like it. Many people like to look good in order to fit in with certain social groups. They also can try and dress nice or good in order to impress someone they like. I believe that it is worth putting effort into one's appearance when they have an interview for something or they are trying to get a job etc. They can also put a lot of effort into one's self if they just want to look nice in general. I strongly dislike the fact that people like to dress in order to impress other students or people because that is not there true identity. I also believe people should just dress how they want to dress and who cares what other people got to say it's our life.

"Heart! We will forget him!" Paragraph

I believe that the narrator talk to her heart as a human being because she needed to talk to her own heart in order to believe herself and listen to what she was saying. Her relationship was probably not the best and obviously did not turn out how she wanted. Personification is when a person or thing is typing a certain idea or quality. The one way I can relate to this poem is the fact that I have talked in my head to myself when I like someone. If I know I cant be with that person or that person is not right for me then I can get over him.

Imagery in a Song

The song I chose that represents imagery and has a strong meaning to me is " Como una flor" by Selena. The songs imagery is based on a beutiful red rose compared to someones love. The delicate soft peddales that I am able to touch remind me of his soft face when he is near me. The perfumed smell that I can smell across the room reminds me of the cologne he wears as he walks straight to me. The taste of his lips with mine when he kiss me with the minty flavor. When I see him walk to me I can tell he cares and smiles as he makes his approach. Every time I hear this song I feel like expressing my feelings to that one special guy.

Yo se que tienes un nuevo amor
Sin embargo, te deseo lo mejor
Si en mi no encontraste felicidad
Tal vez alguien mas te la dara

(Chorus:)
Como la flor (como la flor)
Con tanto amor (con tanto amor)
Me diste tu
Se marchito
Me marcho hoy
Yo se perder
Pero ay, como me duele
Ay, como me duele

Si vieras como duele perder tu amor
Con tu adios te llevas mi corazon
No se si pueda volver a amar
Porque te di todo el amor que pude dar

(Repeat chorus twice)

Ay, como me duele
Como la flor...

“A Storm in the Mountains” One with Nature

I was in my room resting my body on with my eyes closed. It was 12am and I could not sleep at all. I was only 12 years old and I was left alone on that cold cold deserted mountain. Noone was around and I was left with not enough warm clothing. the storm was horrible I could see it coming. It was freezing cold the rain was stronger and stronger every moment it hit my skin. I could hear the roar of the thunder coming down so strong that almost caught so many things on fire. I was afraid I could smell the little grass and mudd. I could reach a hand out and feel the rain touch my skin and run down my arms. The experiance changed me because it taught me that I should not want to be alone in the mountains. It also taught me that I do not want to be in a storm that strong without the right equipment.

Paragraph to Persuade You to Read My Poem

The name of my poem is "Grape Sherbet" written by Rita Dove. I believe that students should read the poem because it was a really good poem. It's meaning is very strong and demonstrates the feelings towards deceased family. Someone might not want to read this poem because it can bring up sad memories and how they miss there loved ones. The best part of the poem was when they explained the feeling about how she loved his ice-cream.

Imagery in a Selected Poem Paragraph

I really liked the poem I chose regarding the now. The imagery in " Crystal Cascades" makes one feel peacful and wanting to go to the snow more often. For example in the poem the line "Turnning my cheeks pink" appeals to the sense of sight and it creates a sensational feeling twordes the white cold snow. Another example would be " Softly falling, falling not a sound in the air" which is the sense of hearing. This sense makes one feel lonley as if there were no one left in the world but ones self. The use of imagery helps describe feelings because people can describe themselves to others through images and certain words mentioned.
