Blog Value

There are many benefits of using a blog, especially in school. Some beneficial of using a blog in school are that we learn more on our typing skills for the students who lacks of experience in technology such as computers. Learning how to communicate with others and our writing will get better everyday. They become very professional, instead of writing down stuff and losing them you can have them on a blog. Everybody can see it and learn from it too. It is great to have a blog where you can share and it is also a lot fun.

Dear Mr. Ron Major:

 

I am writing to you about our school rules. Since you are the principal, you have the power to help change rules.

 

I would like the dress code changed. I understand that cleavage, sagging pants, short skirts and short shorts are unacceptable. Tank tops should be allowed to be worn. Summer is coming soon and I think female students would feel, more comfortable if they could wear tank tops. I believe it is possible to wear a tank top that does not show cleavage and would not violate the dress code.

 

Thank you in advance again for taking your own time to read this. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Dear Elijah!

Dear Daughter,

This is very important; I really need to talk to you about this Facebook and MySpace thing your doing. I don’t want you to talk or anything just listen to what mommy has to say, Elijah you’re the only daughter I have and the only one for now although your daddy is always gone. I am very worried about the Cyber-predators online looking for young teens all over the websites you go on. They have been talking about it all over the new! I am terrified to lose you. Imagine how daddy and mommy would feel if you were missing like these young girls out there? I just need you to cut you time limit in half.

You may think I’m a crazy mother and over-protective but so should every mother. I know your smart and all and you’re used to MySpace and Facebook and all your chatting things. I just need you to follow directions. Many young girls are getting kidnapped everyday and a lot because of these online things you do and including your friends. Girls like you actually don’t fake your names and real ages! That’s what Cyber-predators are getting to you. Later on when we are done talking I am going have to check your Facebook and MySpace and just everything you do online that includes having contact with people. Elijah, I understand you’re young trying to have fun and all talking to people you don’t know but understand your limits.

There are many limits Elijah, I hope you don’t put out your real name, phone number, especially our address. Anyone can show up and take you away and I may not even be home. I know your old enough to be aware but trust me Cyber-predators are smart form what I hear lately. They can have a picture of a cute boy and you may not know what or who they really are. I can talk to you with my whole profile filled with pictures of a boy, saying that is me and its not. Sooner or later, I hope sooner you will understand me and not just stare off into space telling me it’s “stupid”.

Elijah, have you heard about those girls who were missing for the longest?! Aren’t you scared too? Later while still searching for those girls they found them dead! Dead Elijah! Can you believe that? Do you want to be like one of them? I didn’t think so. Well what I am trying to say is you just need to be aware at all times who you are talking to. It’s very important. Although, this may sound stupid, you are going to be on your MySpace and whatever else you do only for 30 mins maximum, longer for homework of course.

When you are done using the computer, daddy and I will check the computer and although you want to erase the History, go for it. Daddy knows how to fix things. We just want you with us and not dead from something that been going on forever and been warned about many times. We are going to need to know the people you chat with at all times, not some new friend you met at school. If you want to chat with them, we are going to have to meet them in person. I know it seems a little cruel to you and your friends but you need to understand us. This plan will work because there is no way your going to get away with talking to strangers you do not even know. You don’t have to say anything, we are doing this because we care and love you truly.

Exciting!

Yesterday was a great day, somewhat great of a day. We had a game against Jewish Academy, and we won. We have a home game today too and we are playing Escondido Adventist. It was so fun, I hung out with Liz all day and we talked a lot and found out some good news, everybody is so excited for Prom and I am too. I can`t wait to get dress, I am going by myself, it seems more fun without someone standing there with you all day and them getting jealous when dancing with someone else. I am wearing a long dress that is pink and black and getting long extentions in my hair and probably having it curled.

"American History" Newspaper

I feel somewhat selfish for what I thought was my more important than this. Hello, my name is Elena. I am fourteen years old and in my freshman year now. It is November 22, 1963. I always envied the black girls at school who jump jump rope so well, and I myself could not. The only thing that kept me happy and was the only source of beauty and light for me was a boy name Eugene. I live in Dallas, Texas by the way and Eugene move in next to my place where I could see him from my kitchen window. I always watch Eugene and his family from the window after school, even when I did dishes too. I like Eugene a lot, he was so cute and when school started back up I look for him in every one of my classes; I could not find him. I decided to "run into him", he was shy but I knew he like me too. I remember Mr. DePalma, our teacher came into the class looking as if he was going to cry while trying to say something but it was too hard for him to speak. All of a sudden students in my classroom giggled, that is when he told us, "The President is dead, you idiots". We go dismissed out of school early because of it, honestly I didn`t think anything of it. Eugene and I had a History test coming up so we decided to study with each other after school. I remember walking in the house and my mother sat in front of the grainy picture of the television set. She was crying so much, I didn`t know what to do, I again wanted to feel something for our President, but could not find it in me. I walked to Eugene`s house to study, I knocked a couple of times when suddenly the door cracks open. I won`t forget what Eugene`s mother said to me, it seem long. This is what she said that day, "listen. Honey Eugene doesn`t want to study with you. He is a smart boy. Doesn`t need help. You understand me. I am truly sorry if he told you could come over. He cannot study with you. It`s nothing personal. You understand we won`t be in this place much longer, no need for him to get close to people-it`ll just make it harder for him later. Run back home now". Standing there shock, I walked away after Eugene`s mother closing the door behind me. I won`t remember this day, November 22, 1963. Our President got assassinated, I wanted to feel something because a lot of American definitely felt something but I didn`t I wanted too.

My Experience with Career Day

My experience today with Career Day was AWESOME! I had lots of fun chilling, walking around, and talking to my friends. I actually took it seriously, I thought I would not (not trying to make myself sound bad, just being honest). I took it seriously to the point where I’m actually looking to which colleges I want to attend now, I learned many things. I went to many stands today. One was the Army, it was so interesting because the Army runs in my family. It was just cool to see that I knew some things that they expected me not to. Second one was looking into going Mesa College , the lady was so sweet to me. The lady was disabled and worked at the college, and she told me, Anybody and anyone can do anything". She also told me about many great things there that made me want to check it out, also having Clifton encouraging me to work harder each day made me feel a little more confident. Last one is our San Pasqual Academy Firefighters! We were all cracking up jokes with Mr. Frazier and the other Firemen’s. I couldn’t stop laughing! By the way when I was younger, I wanted to be a firefighter.

I really like this; they should do it for the next years.

Earthquake 7.2

Yesterday Jessica and I were sitting on the couch in the house, waiting for Debbie to finish with the roast so we could bring it down to the girls rec.I remember sitting there and all of a sudden the chair started to rock and the windows were shaking. My house parent yelled at us to go outside away from the buildings. It was pretty surprising because I never felt it like that before, I also haven't felt in long long time. It occurred in Mexicali next to Calexico, the magnitude was up to 7.2. It had many after shots, I believe there were about like three, I remember last night around 3 I woke up because another after shot occurred again but I wasnt`t scared at all, I was too tired.
