Fourth Quarter Goals

My greatest achievement for last quarter was receiving straight B's on my progress reports and staying off of 2 hour. In order to acquire this goal I made sure I completed all my work, worked really hard to get everything done and mainly make sure I completed the assignment on time. MY goal for this quarter is to pass it with more then B's. In order to do that I'm going to do triple the work and make sure I do more then what is expected of me on it. I am also going to make sure I stay on top of my work and make sure I complete every single assignment that way I have no missing work to do in the future. Last but no least ask teachers for help if I do not understand something that way they can help me and I will do a good job on my work.

What I Learned in the Third Quarter of English 9/10

Through out the whole time in third quarter I learned many things. The main focus was poetry. For this years poetry we the students had to prepare a lesson plan and teach it to our fellow students. I got to experience being a teacher and created a lesson including the following a warm-up, Classwork assignment that lasted 30 minutes and a homework assignment. I also learned about personification and all the points of view. For example First person point of view, second person point of view and third person point of view. I also learned about primary and secondary sources and what there differences and comparisons are. At this time I am creating a portfolio demonstrating that I have learned the correct material.

Primary and Secondary sources are very similar because it is two main places were people in general gather all there information to rely to other people. Primary sources are normally hand written essays, letters, autobiography's about someones life etc. Secondary sources normally mean a person wrote it but was not there to witness the situation. Secondary source examples are celebrity magazines, biographies, newspapers, books,articles etc. Primary and Secondary sources are great to know for many good reason. If someone needs to back up a topic that they are talking about they can look up important information that they can use. It's important information and it's good to know that one has resources.

CAHSEE Reflection

Today I took the CAHSEE Test. I am not going to lie I am pretty scared to see the results. I was very nervous because I know that I do not take a math class at the time there for it was going to be hard for me to take the math portion tomorrow. Over all I believe I did a pretty good job on writing my five paragraph essay. It was a scary experience and I hope I passed it. I had a huge brain fart when I was trying to think of ideas it was kind of funny. I decided to take a break and came back and finished my test. It was great and I really hope that I as well as the other students who took it passed. I can't wait for my results.

“American History” Memorable Day Paragraph

Once upon a time there was a little 12 year old girl. This little girl had long hair was very skinny, light skinned and bruised up. Her name was Bella and she lived in Tijuana. Bella had to deal with her mother beating her everyday and receiving new bruises on her body. She could never keep track of her bruises until one day her whole body was bruised there was no spot clear enough to say it was not bruised. In the year 2007 her grandmother Celia Perez died. Bella and all her family including her sisters Grecia and Ayneeth Lomeli attended. Bella was left in the funeral place with some of her aunts and uncles on purpose. Bella did not notice until one of her aunts woke her up asking her if she was hungry. Luckily her sister Grecia was there and took her to her great grandmother's house. Bella had a great time with her other family because she was not used to being out of her house. When it was time to take Bella back home her mother was waiting for her in the garage. Bella's sister stayed outside with her fiancée while Bella went inside. Bella's mother yelled at her and said what time was it to be getting home and that she no longer lived there. Bella freaked out and did not know were she was going to go. Her mother yelled at her and told her to call her sister in order to pick her up. Bella left and Grecia told her fiancée to take Bella to her big sister Ayneeth. He obeyed her and took her to her sister. While on the ride in order to get to her sister Bella's mother was calling him in order to take her back home he refused and ignored all her calls. Bella and her big sister Ayneeth stayed 3 hours trying to pass the border and made it through. From there Bella was left with a foster parent because her sister could not take care of her. Bella entered the foster system once again she is currently 16 year old and has not been out of the foster system since then. . The reason I remember this day is because it's the day I no longer had to see anymore new bruises, cuts or scars and I no longer had to suffer. It was the day my sister saved me from my mother and the day my grandmother Celia Perez Aranda died.

“Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” Enlist Paragraph

I would never enlist in the military because I don't like being away from my family and friends. I would be upset to find out that something bad happened to one of my family members while I am not home with them. I want to be able to be there for my family and take care of them not leave for months and not be able to see them and hope there OK. Another reason why I would not enlist in the military is because I don't think I would have the guts to risk my life for people I do not know. I would only save my own family and protect them from harm. the last reason why I would not join the military is because if I was in it I can be drafted away. If I was for any reason join the military it would definitely not be for killing purposes and if one is drafted is to fight and participate in wars. I would refuse the minute they tried to send me from there I would spend some great qualities time with people behind bars. These are my 3 main reasons why I would not join the military.

Feelings about the CAHSEE

I am very nervous to take the test because I do not have the best test scores and missing all the school I missed I am afraid to not pass. I had been informed that I was not going to be taking the test this year until next year when I am officially a junior . I was kind of irritated about not being able to take it because I knew I had all my credits up to date so far. I had Ms.Priester double check and I ended up finding out that I was to be taking it the 8Th and 9Th of this month. I am very scared because I know that my math skills are not so well. I have this feeling that I am going to pass everything else but the math portion. I also know that I have to pass the math part so I'm scared that if I do not pass the math portion I will be asked to take it again. Overall I know I will do well thanks to Ms.Priester's help on all the English portions.
