End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Obstacle

The biggest obstacle I had to overcome was getting back into the routine of going back to school. It was difficult to get back in to school because I missed five years of school. The reason I missed five years of school was because I was living with my mom in Mexico and she wouldn't let me go. She would tell me that going to school was a privilege not something I need to do daily. Not going to school affected me in every way possible because I was not able to read or wright in English. It also affected me in my social life because I never had friends or acquaintances so I did not know how to make any. When I entered school again I was not sure what I had to do or learn. Missing so much school motivated me to try harder in everything I do and make sure I complete every assignment. As well as to never give up on anything.

Playwrights Project Play Completion Reflection

I feel very accomplished with myself because I completed my play just in time. I am very glad that I completed it and did not procrastinate or not turn it in at all. Before I got to San Pasqual Academy I noticed that I was not so punctual with things and getting things done right on time. Even during my freshmen year I was not as worried or concerned. I started to care more about it as the beginning of my sophomore year kicked in and further on. I am very proud of myself because I know I can finish what I am doing at the time and right now high school is my priority and I am going to finish and graduate. By finishing this play and graduating I want to be able to show my family I can do anything I put my mind to and I can follow through with anything. I am super excited and looking forward to watching professional actors performing my play including my fellow classmates. I believe that all our plays are great!

SPA Prom 2011 or Free Write

This weekend I attended my high school prom in the Hotel Del Coronado. I started to get ready at around 3pm . My softball coach Sarah came to my house straight after work and put my hair up in curls. After I got my hair done for about an hour I headed up stairs and was ready to get my makeup done by a staff. She did a great job at it. I loved it because I looked so pretty. After getting my hair and makeup done I put on my dress, shoes,jewlery and whent to the bus that was waiting for those who were attending prom. Everyone looked amazing in there dresses and tux. We all got on the bus and everyone was so excited as we drove off to the hotel. We arrived at our destination around 6:30 and took pictures in a grass area. It felt really akward walking next to other people who were just statying there. After the pictures we whent to the ball room and hung as until it was time to serve our dinner. The food was delicouse but the meat was the best part. I had a great time dancing with my friends and house parents. For the ending of the night I sat down and watched everyone dance. I had a great time and enjoyed myself a lot.

Field Trip

I attended a field trip with my Spanish class with Ms. Beedle. I had a great time because we got to learn new information and admire different places and things. It all started Thursday morning at 9am. I headed to the bus and sat with one of my good friends. We arrived at the JCCS county office and admired all of the beautiful art work that all the students created and completed in our art class. After a good amount of time that we spent there we went back to the school bus and drove off to the Contemporary museum of arts in La Jolla. We got to see a real huge donkey stuffed with something to make it look alive. We also saw some beautiful art made by real artists that made me feel like the art was alive. Everything was beautiful including the garden of statues. We took many pictures and posted them on facebook. I had the best time watching the seals in the water at La Jolla beach. Overall it was a great filed trip and I hope we have many more.

My Wordle for Weekend Rap

Playwrights Project Scene 1 for Feedback

Quote, Summary, or Paraphrase Paragraph

Welcome students! Today, I am going to teach you about things to remember in a research paper. Evidence is certain information to prove that the work you have done is true. For example when a student says that they were sick from school and the doctor excused them they would have to have proof. In order to know it was true they would have to bring me a note signed by a doctor or parent served as evidence that what the student said was true. You summarize evidence when your giving a brief description of something that occurred over a period of time. To summarize you use fewer words to explain something. For example instead of telling the whole story in details and extra sentences you would tell the story in a shorter period of time. You quote evidence when you are trying to strengthen your point of view. To use a quote occurs when something is being said by someone. For example " Ms. Priester told me to right a paragraph" Joel said. You paraphrase evidence when you are retelling a story to an audience. To paraphrase you give a brief description of the events that happened. To help you remember this, you should verbally review the definitions and examples that I have mentioned earlier.

Today I had at 3:30 softball game here at San Pasqual Academy vs. Guajome Park. It was not as bad as I expected it to be. There was a lot of girls on the team including myself who were really nervous about this game but in the end ended up having fun. I realized that when I think negatively about something I don't do as well. Sense I turned my attitude around about the whole thing I was able to take a couple of the girls on the opposite team out. I was also able to hit the ball and send it to the outfield. I was really proud of my teammate Chanda hit the ball and hit a beautiful home run. I was so proud of our team because they all had fun and just played the game even though we knew we were not going to win this game. Over all I had a great time and I am looking forward to playing my next game.
