assignment #16 The journey
The Journey
Early one morning i awaken in my cabin. As i wake up the first thing i look at is the digital clock i have sitting on my little wooden nightstand. I see how early it still is although its kind of bright outside. My cabin is little but perfect for just one person. I sleep on a futon as comfortable as can be, its a couch that opens up into a bed. A white and black zebra print blanket lays on my bed. A dresser that is the perfect size for me to fit my clothes. I have a mini T.V. on my dresser that i can fold up and take anywhere i go and on my nightstand i have a picture of me and my boyfriend♥. My bathroom has a shower and a tub with curtains of my favorite color pink with little roses on them. The cabinet above the toilet with the pink cover on it has all of my stuff hairspray, hairbrush, comb, etc. My bathroom always smells so good cause i always light the pink rose scented candle right by my sink. Every now and then ill change it. My little kitchen has a black refrigerator with freezer thats always filled with goodies. It has a stove and also a microwave right beside it. In the cabinet below the sink is where i keep my pots and pans. The cabinets above is where i keep my plates and cups. And a little pantry that i keep goodies in also.
As i take a step and walk outside the first thing i notice is two rainbows right beside each other one i can see way more then the other one. I start walking my way around the field and as i am walking Im kind of cold but at the same time i feel warm because of the sun. I could tell it just rained because of the smell. I love the smell of rain. As I’m walking across thru the wet, slippery grass I see lots of squirrels running up the tall trees that are about to lose their leaves.

assignment #14 Uniforms
My side of the argument would probably have to be that I don't agree with wearing uniforms at schools. The reason I think that is because there are people that follow dress code but at the same time, there are the gangs out there that cause problems. I think that all of the gangs are what is causing the debate on whether schools should make the kids wear uniforms or not. The gangs, groups, cliques, etc. like to wear colors that represent where there from. Also a lot of the school rules are affiliated with the gangs as well as the reason why we are not allowed to wear any color of bandanas in are hair or anywhere because of the cliques that again like to represent their color by using a bandana. Hats we aren’t aloud to wear them because that same reason but they have symbols that are normally used for baseball or sports teams but, now are used for all the cliques people come up with.
Back to the uniforms I think if schools where trying to stop kids from breaking the dress code then they should be more uptight about it and if one of the students are out of dress code then they should do something about it instead of complaining that kids are always out of dress code. I think that if all schools were to have uniforms there would be more kids out of uniform. More kids would not like the idea of it and would try to wear a different shirt but just with a jacket over it or something. I know how uniforms are because when I was in middle school nobody liked it. Everybody would try to wear clothes that were out of uniform and eventually get caught and get in trouble for such a little thing.
School is something important and every student should be able to learn and get the same amount of time to learn in class. If teachers were too busy paying attention to what every student is wearing trying to see if any students are out of dress code then students would get in trouble and we wouldn’t get any time to learn for the days we were in ISS or sitting at home for being suspended. When I was in middle school the ISS teacher would take each student to each teacher that they had. Each student would collect all their work that they need do make up and then we would have to sit there and do it in ISS. The thing that I didn’t get was why would the ISS teachers take us to go get work that we needed to do when some of the work that they gave us was hard to understand because we weren’t there in class to get it explained to or to learn what we were given.
That is why if it was my choice or if it was up to me I wouldn’t agree with uniforms at any school.

screaming, yelling trick-or-treat.
candles flickering
lights flash black and white
pumpkins glowing oh soo bright

The Concrete Rose
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.
To me I think that this poem is another way of saying that if nobody cares then you should still believe in yourself, believe in your hopes and dreams. Its within yourself to learn what you want to learn and succeed what you want to succeed.

assignment #10
I remember one time I was bullied. It was this year in my 11th grade at Atrisco Heritage Academy. It was in drama class. Well it started off as my friend getting picked on. They were talking crap about her saying that she walks funny and that she looks funny. My friend isn’t the type that sticks up for herself so I stuck up for her. I told them "you can’t say what you have to say or what?" and they replied talking crap saying I’m this and I’m that. So I walked out of class before I did anything stupid. As the days went on it still continued with them talking about me calling me names. I tried to ignore them as much as I can even though it just escalated and got worse. They started seeing that I wasn’t doing anything about it so they talked more and more about me. I eventually got tired of it and told them something. I was by myself at the time and they were all together it took place in my drama class in 7th period. After I told them something they all seemed very shocked and didn’t say anything they just all looked at me like I was stupid. When I told them to step up and do something they didn’t.
The bell finally rang. After school I walked to go meet my friend Maydeli as usual to meet her for the bus. I had told her what happened in class my last period and she was kind of having a bad day so it made her mad. I looked the other way and I seen them looking at us. We walked towards them and I had asked why she was still talking about it that if it was that hard to let go. Maydeli went off on her and then that’s when it all happened they started fighting, the girl that Maydeli was fighting, her friend wanted to fight me and I didn't even know her so she pushed me and i pushed her back. She then grabbed me by my hair, threw me to the ground and started throwing blows at me in the back of my head while I could not get up at all. The whole fight I just remembered that I was trying to get up the whole time. There was one point in the fight where they both were hitting me. All of a sudden I finally get away but than I went back for Maydeli because I didn’t want her to get in trouble for the whole fight when she was the one that had my back.
After the whole fight the security finally came three hours later. When the security got there and separated everybody. They grabbed me first to see if I was ok and then when I responded that I was fine they ended up putting me in handcuffs. I was still very furious about the whole fight, they took me first and then they had my friend Maydeli in cuffs next she was still trying to fight the other girl. The security took forever to put the other girls in handcuffs and that’s what made us more mad then we already were. They were paying more attention to us and putting us in cuffs rather than worrying about if they were in cuffs or not. They were taking us to the security office in our cuffs while it felt like almost the whole school was watching as we were walking there.

Assignment #7
What makes me Unique!
I believe nobody is perfect. Everybody has slips and falls. My life isn’t perfect but I am thankful for what I have. I’m mostly thankful for my mom who supports me for everything. People come and go in your life but my mom is someone who will always be there for me. I also think that everywhere you go your going to have somebody who doesn’t like you and is jealous of you. I think that you have to learn how to cope with it. My way of coping with it is to think exactly what they are HATERS and that’s it!
I don’t want to be labeled so I don’t label anybody else. I’m me and nobody else. I dress the way I want to dress and wear what I want to wear. My favorite color is pink and I like to play soccer. I like hip-hop and I like to dance. I can be loud or very shy and quiet. I look pretty with or without makeup. I have my tongue and belly button pierced. I like to go shopping but I hate big crowds. I like all genres of movies. I like to travel but with my family! I like to talk on the phone and text. I like to hang out with my friends. I don’t trust no one besides myself. I think all guys are the same because not one has proved to me that there not. I am ME and nobody else.

My Show && Tell
If I were to show and tell I would bring my BIG teddy bear that my ex boyfriend/best friend gave me. I would pick my teddy bear to bring because it means a lot to me. I received my BIG teddy bear on Valentine’s Day. The best Valentine’s Day I ever had. I have always wanted a big teddy bear and he got me one that day. He brought it to me at 4:00 in the morning.
It’s special to me because Jon was special to me. The boy that gave it to me, I had been through everything with him, ups and downs. He would turn my day into something beyond what anyone else would ever make it. He would also bring out the worst and best of me. Even though he isn't my boyfriend anymore he is still my friend and that's something that I promised him when we first got together in 2008 of December 11th. The teddy bear reminds me of him every time I look at it I get a smile on my face. All the feelings I used to have for him are still the same just not as much. Jon and I were together for a year and we knew each other for five years. I knew his whole family and he knew mine. We would hang out on the weekends and on the week days every day after school. I would stay at his house until 8 or 9 on school days and on weekend days stay till 11 P.M or sometimes 12 A.M. The thing I loved most about him was his big bear hugs he gave me. He would squeeze me and pick me up and spin me around in circles. I loved how we would stay on the phone at night for hours talking about everything and anything. We would never get bored and we would just fall asleep on the phone together. We would laugh about the dumbest things. Every time we were together we would have fun. Play hide and go seek, tag, monopoly. We would go to the park in the middle of the night and go swinging or we would just lie in the grass and he would warm me. On his birthday I baked him a cake and his little sister Alexis helped me. I’m not that good at cooking but I still made an effort to make him one. On my birthday we went to the Japanese kitchen restaurant and we got to take a picture together. Everything we do have and always will have a special place in my heart. That’s why Jon Mikal Vidal is special to me which makes my teddy bear special to me too.
I never named my BIG teddy bear so it’s unnamed. I think I like it so much because it always stands out because of how big it is. The first thing people notice when they enter my room is my teddy. If I brought it to show and tell I would say that I sleep with it by my side every single night. I would also say that when I’m feeling down or lonely I use it as my pillow.

A child called It
Pelzer’s child life, he was abused by his mother as he was growing up. When I first picked this book in the library I knew it would be a book that would interest me. I had heard of it before I got it and every since than I wanted to read it, so I got it and read it. It started off good just like any childhoods life. He went to school every day and had many friends. He had a loving, caring family that he could come home to. A room, a bed, clothes etc.
As the book goes on later on in his life he starts feeling like nobody loves him. His mom starts abusing him and he no longer knows the loving, caring mom that he did. She brainwashes him and tells him she loves him eventually she tells him she hates him and that she wishes he was dead. His brothers begin to grow up hating him and as some of his punishments they were allowed to hit him and kick him. He would get punished for stealing food from other students at his school when his mom never even gave him food. His punishment would be no dinner or breakfast.
Every night he would have to sleep in the garage and when he did have the privilege to go inside for any reason he wasn’t allowed to look or talk to anyone including his dad. When he went to school he had to wear the same dirty, smelly clothes every day that had holes and stains on them. When he was asked by a teacher or nurse what was going on at home he would lie and if they were to catch him lying or he would eventually give in and say the truth, they would call his mom and talk to her about it. After they would talk to her about it Dave Pelzer “A Child Called It” knew what was coming when he went home. He was punished. Dave Pelzer’s mom was an alcoholic and when she would abuse him with what she called her "games" and Dave had to learn how to play her games. She didn’t consider him her son at all to her he was a slave. He wasn’t even a boy he was an "it”.
His only hope was his dad he had gave up on everything else. He would pray to God and hope for the best but nothing he prayed and hoped for would come true. His mom got to the point where she made the father tired of it. His dad was the one to comfort him and tell him that everything’s going to be ok telling him that he wasn’t going to suffer for long.
Towards the end of the book the father finally leaves and Dave is scared because he has nobody to protect him anymore.

My Poem
Thursday, August 19, 2010
My trip to Ruidoso
My trip to Ruidoso was awesome! It was my very first time there and I went with one of my best friends named Alexus and her family. We drove for three long hours just to get there. It was a small little town that had a bunch of trees and mountains everywhere, it was pretty. When we got to Ruidoso first thing we did was go to alexus's step dads moms house, that’s where we were staying at. Me and Alexus stayed in a little cabin behind her house that was right next to a mountain. The next day after we got there we went for walks everywhere. We went shopping in the little mall that only has about six stores. They even had a mini movie theater and we got to tour it. We saw how they worked it and we saw the V.I.P section. After that than that’s when we saw out movie, we watched Eclipse.
Every time we would drive somewhere in that little town we would see heard of dears crossing the road right in front of us. I think that the funnest part about it was going to the mountains. Even though it took a long time to get where we went. First we had a picnic by a river and then Alexus and i went walking across the river on the rocks. It was fun until we fell.

My sophomore year
I started off my sophomore year at Del Norte High School. I think that it started off fun I met allot of new people and had allot of friends that went there from the year before. When I started my sophomore year I was kind of nervous at first than excited at the same time. I was nervous because I didn't know where my classes were but I was excited because I was going to see all my friends again. I had fun while I was at Del Norte for the first semester. My best friend went there too her name is Alexus Cortez.
I learned allot at Del Norte I learned about the periodic table of elements in Chemistry, I thought that was hard. I learned different solids and liquids. I learned rubber and plastic are different. Chemistry was my favorite class but yet the hardest for me. I also learned equations in Algebra, I liked to do Math but never really understood it that much. I was in Art and learned how to draw 3D and 2 point. I never really did that much in that class because all of my friends were in that class and I got distracted really easy.
I stopped going to Del Norte after the winter break because I was going to go to a day treatment program. That’s a different story. I was there for almost the whole school year. After I went there I started attending school at Atrisco Heritage High School. I decided to come to Atrisco Heritage was because my friend Alexus was attending it also, I live by it and it’s the only school that would accept me so late in the year. When I started at Atrisco I didn’t know anyone because Alexus had got kicked out. I’ve only been attending Atrisco for a couple of months but my experience so far is good.
I met new friends and I like all of my classes and teachers. My favorite class would have to be Art. I learned allot in art at this school. We draw allot and do shading allot. I like to draw when it comes out nice. I learned about scale factors, surface area and how to fold shapes in Geometry. I learned how to hang a light in stage craft. My favorite project in Stage Craft was to design the costumes of any fairy tale. I chose to design Alice in Wonderland. In English I learned how to be careful and watch where to put my camas, and periods and stuff like that. I learned how to use better grammar and better, bigger words. I also learned how to create blogs and correct them on my blogger.
I learned some lessons in life during my sophomore year. I learned you can’t always rely on your partner or other people. I learned I can’t trust anyone and sometimes that includes family. I learned you can only change if you want to and that you can’t make anybody change no matter how hard you try.
