make it interesting

One day when I was little, I meet a person who smoked. I was at the boys and girls club and I was going out side to play basketball. When I was playing by myself at the club, an older woman come up to me and ask to play basketball with me. I had a great time playing with her and was getting some exercise. We were both probably having fun, when in the middle of the game she told me "that I was a healthier then her." She also told me "to not smoke" although I little idea what she mean't I listen to her advice. I'd never smoke because of this advice and never will smoke. There is one thing I'd learned for this experience is that smoking is never good for your health.

Expertise

An area I feel I have an expertise is my ability to memorize. Unlike many people I am able to memorize facts, dates, words and other forms of readings without much effort. Once I am made aware of a new work for example, I am able to retain its meaning. My personal lexicon exceeds a vast amount of higher education words and meanings, more so than most people my age. This ability has helped me succeed on many exams, and other classroom assignments. The best part of my memory expertise is that it is an ability that came to me naturally!

3 wishes

If I was given three wishes by some all powerful being, in my first wish I would wish for a real live pet baby dragon that is loyal to me. The reason I would wish for a dragon as a pet is because their really cool looking lizards with wings that spit fire. In my first wish I also wished that the dragon would be loyal to me because it would be really hard for me to  rise a dragon that doesn't trusts me. I would also want a dragon because when it gets very big I would ride it every where I go. The second wish I will wish for are dragon wings, tail, claws, and its ability to breath fire. I would want these things because I want to be able to fly with my dragon, climb trees faster, cook my food a lot faster, and see what it feels like to have a tail. For my third wish I would that I would be indestructibly hard. This would make me bullet proof so no one can hurt me.

Role Model

I am a realist; I believe in making myself the best that I can be. When I think of a role model I think of myself. I do this not as narcissistic manner rather to remind myself of all the good I have done and how I can push myself and my talents to the next level.
I believe a person should be enthusiastic about life, humble, honest, loyal, sincere, passionate, giving, and polite.

Domestic violence

I think domestic violence is wrong in any given situation. The speaker we had visit our school discussed the serious problems associated with domestic abuse. The speech made me feel a little bit awkward. I have lived in a home where physical and verbal abuse have taken place. Therefore, I was able to relate to the different situations the speaker shared. Although the abuse has not been present in my home over the past year I find it hard to trust that it will never happen again.

happiest place

The happiest place on earth to me is my room. Its the happiest place to me because its quite, plain, and a "cool" place. I love to walk in to my room see my bed. I can do anything I want in my room, like play with my toys and play video games. I sometimes like to read in my room because its a quite place to read My favorite thing to do in my room is play video games on my Gameboy AdvanceSP.

my summer vacation

This summer I am going to the Boys &Girls Club and summer school. I gonna go to summer school to keep myself busy and preoccupied. I'm mostly going to summer school for the food. I love going to the Boys & Girls Club because they get to do a lot of thing over the summer. The things they do for fun at the club is go to the pool, go to soak city, watch movies, and play kick ball.

Roger Ebert's review of Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull was that he wanted what most Indiana Jones enthusiast wanted "man-eating ants, swordfights between two people balanced on the backs of speeding jeeps, subterranean caverns of gold, vicious femme fatales, plunges down three waterfalls in a row, and the explanation for flying saucers. And throw in lots of monkeys." I agree with Ebert in saying thats exactly what we got!

The movie was Harrison Ford at his best entertaining us with gut wrenching action and unexpected comedy.

Something that interests me and what I really like to do is get some exercise. I like to exercise because its healthy for the body and the mind. Getting some exercise is good for the lungs, legs, arms, and heart because it can increase cardio health, muscle endurance in the arm and legs, and expend lung capacity. If I can do all these things to become a stronger runner I would want to runner more then a mile. My favorite exercise is running. l'd like to play basketball, soccer , a little bit of football, and a little baseball. In basketball I enjoy jogging back and forth on the court. In soccer I love running up and down the field. I like trying to avoid the players in football, and trying to get to the base as fast as you can in baseball. Doing or playing these sports can sometimes help increase the muscles in my legs and arms, and sometimes increase my cardio and lung capacity.

assignment 17

I don't smoke because it is a health hazard to the body. None of my family or friend smoke cigaretttes. I wouldn't smoke because I've heard it does terrible things to the body and seen pictures of the effects it has on your body. My overall opinion is smoking is bad and the people should syop smoking no matter how much stress it relieves.

 what's interesting about the study is that maine is the most peaceful state. The surprising thing in Maine the most was the plummet of murder. I consider how neat and clean the place looks as my biggest factor when choosing a place to live. I wouldn't consider living in Maine because I'm use to living in Costa Mesa.

my spring break

Over spring break I didn't do much of anything on my break. I just played on my new phone, slept in, and went to the Boys & Girls Club. 

I got my phone on my birthday. I sometimes use my phone to call people, but i mostly use my phone for the games. I played many cool games on my phone, games like Unblock Me and Dots free. I also took pictures of my cute dog named Scooby as in Scooby Doo the cartoon.

At the beginning of the break I slept in. I love sleeping in because I love the feeling of being refreshed in the morning. As much as I love sleeping in, it made coming to school today really hard. At times I wonder what it would be like if I could sleep in on a school day.

I went to the Boys & Girls Club over spring break and had a good time. At the Boys & Girls Club I played basketball outside and enjoyed the fresh air. I mostly enjoy playing the Wii they have. I made some pretty good friends at the club and had a great time every time I go there.

 I may have had fun during spring break and enjoyed my time from school, but I'm looking forward to a better time next year. I hope next year I can do some thing cool for spring break.

Assignment 5- My time at Back Bay High School

I am currently in 11^th grader at Back Bay high school. I recently moved to this school 1 month ago. So far I had many positive experiences form the cafeteria to the teachers.

My favorite thing about Back Bay are the lunch choices. One of my favorite lunch items to choose is the turkey sandwich. Its a healthy choice and it's filling.
The second best part about attending Back Bay are the super positive teachers and staff members. Mrs. Migaki,(schoolloop) my horticulture teacher, has made a huge impression on me. Her encouraging attitude and active class has been very exciting and educational. for, example just last week we had the opportunity to fly airplane outside to learn about design engineering and wind rations. Her fun activities mixed with the supportive staff makes coming to school fun. 

Overall, I feel Back Bay is a great school. I enjoy attending Back Bay and look forward to gaining new experiences each day. I am excited to graduate in the class of 2013.
