Ironic Story Blog Post

I remember a time when my sister and I decided to go swiming in our little inflatible pool. I was little back then. We decided right after school to use the time we had to fill up the pool with water and when we were finished make it looked like it never happened. So we got home from school filled it up with air and the inside with water. We played until it got kind of late. So we checked the time and it was 10 minutes before our mom came home we rushed in the house and threw our towels in the closet. We threw the water out of the pool into the bushes. We looked around and it seemed pretty nice so we both rushed to the shower, got out and we saw her car just parking in. She walks into the house with a bag. She went into our rooms to check out how clean they were. I totally forgot about the towels. She took off her belt and her pants? We were ready to get in trouble and grounded but she told us to put our suits back on? She dressed in her suit as well and we flated it the pool again. She had brought us snacks to eat. She had never done that before. I didn't understand why she was in a good mood but all I knew was to enjoy the moment.:)

Academic Language Week 32 - Exit Exam

Should a student have to pass a high school exit exam to earn a high school diploma?
-distribute -obtain -vary 
I think students should have to obtain a high school exam to earn a high school diploma because that way they can remember everything they have learned during their past four years in high school.  I think each test is better when it varies each year because most things we learn we forget.  I think students should obtain to pass a high school exam because it motivates the students throughout all 4 years letting them know that they have to pass a test in order to get a diploma.

Academic Language Week 31 - Teen Vandals

-Parents of teen vandals  should not be held responsible for their child's damage. One reason is because some teens are old enough to handle their own damage and even work hard  to achieve the money they need to pay back. Teens should be responsible enough to even be careful enough to not vandalize. If teens are brave enough to vandalize then they are as well brave enough to stand up and specifically admit what they did. Teens should have to pay for their own mistakes because when they are adults they aren't going to have anyone to pay for their damage. In conclusion, teens should take their own responsibility. Parents should not have to be held responsible for child's damage because they need to compute their own damage and mistakes and take responsibility.

Spring Break Blog Paragraph

D: Describe the most memorable day of Spring Break.
My most memorable day of Spring Break would have to be Thursday April 12, 2012 because that day my house decided we should all go on a long day outing to LA and see Beverly Hills as well as Hollywood Hills. We decided to leave around 11 arrive there around 1 and come back around 7. This would have to be my most memorable day of Spring Break because I didn't do anything else the other days. Another reason why this would have to be my most memorable day is because I never had a chance to go see famous star's house so this was probably a once in a lifetime opportunity.When we arrived we had a chance to get on a bus and tour which also gave me another opportunity to see different things that I haven't seen before. In conclusion, Thursday would have to be my most memorable day because I got to see things and places that I probably will not see for a long time.

Academic-Midterm:story

                                                              Unique is Different
 She walks to school everyday worrying, making sure no one was approaching her to hurt her just like it always happened when she was there her first year of elementary. Emily only a 12  year old girl as a Freshman smart enough to skip a grade. She lives in the middle of Pierre the capital of South Dakota. Her first period class was Biology she had taken it last year but she didn’t feel confident so she asked for it again this year.Today at  lunch everyone was watching her like she didn’t belong there. She looked for a spot but most of the lunch area  was covered by Jocks, Drama queens,  and teachers. I forgot to say Staff.  She proceeded outside where there nobody. But unfortunately when the bell ran everyone came out pushing her to where she almost fell down the stairs. Most kids assumed since she was little she had to be doing good in school. Well they were correct she had straight a’s in every class cared nothing but about herself, grades, family and sports.  She was never an attention seeker like the drama queens I mentioned earlier. The most primary or important thing to her was her older brother, she looked up to him. He was her role model.  Sometimes her brother could be a complex person or someone hard to understand. But she loved him either way. He had a special formula. He told her when she reaches her teen age she should always keep her head up and he would always be there.  He had good potential, also had good grades and wanted to become a marine.  To make his process work he followed the method he told Emily. In response, he pursued his dream but not only that dream the dream to go to another world and see the all. Each and everyone on the other side.
She headed to Bio where she sat at the back of the class trying to avoid other students and of course their immaturity. During half her class their new asb president headed handing out everyone basketball try out flyers. The element of playing basketball struck her head. She had loved each and every sport she played so she knew she had to try out. With her great enthusiasm she headed to the office to initial the tryout form but first she had to grab a flyer so she could clarify when and where tryout where held. Knowing she had played many sports relevant to basketball she had to be good. Unfortunately their school had a tradition. Which was if you are a freshman, no game time unless short of players, juniors and seniors always starters and sophomores are mainly six man. This made her feel even more distinct. Which also meant no play time for her according to how many people signed the tryout sheet.
When school was over she headed home through the wood and an alley. She occured to stop near a group of cheerleaders and their boyfriends. She established they are the “cool kids.”  She tried to walk away and interact in a nice way by just going straight home but a tall guy looked around 6’2 250 lbs blocked her giving her a big push enough to make her fall on the ground. She thought to herself “not again” getting wildly beaten and the cheerleaders watching she had the opportunity and ran home. Even though she could hardly walk she made it she ran upstairs trying to avoid her mom asking questions. She transferred schools because her brother had been getting beaten the same exact way, so her mom had a feeling it would happen to her as well. It did now. Her first day of school seemed alone and quiet but she had emails from everyone even her teachers. Unbelievably she couldn’t take anymore. The source of knowing that this would continue wasn’t right. She would differentiate from other which is what she expected but not wanted. She did not want to justify anything with anyone. She felt like her head was going to explode. With her laying down tears on her face, beaten up badly thinking about what to do. She wasn’t thinking right enough. She wasn’t thinking about the pain her mom would administer through. She was behaving in a conductive way. She never interacted with others this way. Compensating an apology from those who have hurt her in the past and now was not an option. In fact she had never been noticed to anyone in anyway before. In fact, she thought of something, something that would change at least someone’s life. She opened her drawer and grabbed it. She fell on the floor only seeing red flowing through her white carpet facing her laptop. Nothing but white she was what she saw. Her last words were. “NOW THEY WILL REMEMBER ME”

Academic Language Week 30 - "D" Grades

No schools should not eliminate "d" grades because that just causes more stress for kids knowing that they have to keep their grades above a c to stay away from turning their grades into a F. It could compensate from an f because it motivates kids to move foward but the problem is it can cause stress as well. If schools eliminate "d" grades then students will have a hard time staying up late and working on school subjects so when they go to school and try to interact with other students they are already too tired. Initially we chose to leave as a d so I think why change it now when we could just leave it as it is. Schools should not eliminate "d" grades because again, of too much stress that is put on the kids.
