Dragons Den:Life Lesson

A life lesson that I learned  the very hard way was not to disrespect my mom in ANY way! Because As she would say I put you into this world and I can take you out just as easily. But I would reallly have it in for me if I did disrecpect  her but  that was a lesson i leanred the hard way for sure because i love to argue and i found out the hard way not to do that.

Dragons Den 7: Would You Rather?

I would rather be smart. You can't buy a house, car, or get a job with looks. If you look like me then you got both. Pretty ain't gona help you pass the test, pretty ain't about to put food on the table, you can't pay the water bill looking pretty, you cant pay the gas and electric bill lookin pretty, you cant pay the cable/internet bill looking pretty. On the other hand you can be pretty and get money you can be a model but i doubt they would hire a high school drop out.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 4: Power Outage on Thursday        

 I came back from school and was chillen in my house for a little bit then the power went out it was so wack I was so bored and I was mad because my phone died so I really had absolutely nothing to do no TV no music no phone no nothing. But I’m glad the campus set something up we all got to go up to the café and chill for a couple of hours and I was on restriction so it was even better but overall I thought that the power outage was really fun and I hope it happens again

My phone is very important to me because that is the way for everyone to contact me everyone I know is in my phone, im on my phone a lot epically on the internet like on face book and stuff because the computers here at Spa basically everything is blocked so I just use my phone. I can also watch T.V, movies and I can play games and listen to music so I can do anything on it.

Response to Priester's Syllabus

Response to Priester's Syllabus

I feel really good about this year in English ten I have learned a lot last year like what to do and what not to do. I know that I have to stay on top of my stuff and not get behind and try to play catch up because that doesn’t work most of the time. One of the things from Ms. Priester’s syllabus is the class room expectations and last year I didn’t really live up to those expectations but im positive I can follow them this year. I also saw that the work is going to be harder and there is going to be more of it but it shouldn’t be a problem all I have to do is stay on top of it. The rules that Ms. Priester has for the most part are fair I agree with them all you have to do is be quiet and do the work!!!!!

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 1: Colors

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 1: Colors

A color that represents me is black but I also like purple a lot so it’s kind of a tie between black and purple. I am similar to this color because I am almost black. This color represents my attitude sometimes. This color is symbolic because we have sick new football jerseys that are black. But I wish our school colors were black and purple because that would be awesome if my two favorite colors were our school colors. If you’re around me a lot you will most likely see this color on me because it goes with everything and black is just a sick color.

First Day of School 2011

First Day of School 2011

When I woke up on the first day of my sophomore year of school at San Pasqual Academy, I was not excited at all I was so tired and did not want to go to school. But I went anyways. So the first class was aright I wasn’t really feeling good I started to get the “bubble guts” So in the next class I went home because it was bad. Then I went home and watched “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” That is one of my favorite shows because it has Kim Kardashian in it and she is HOT!!

Ms.Tia Moore
Program Director
San Pasqual Academy
17701 San Pasqual Valley Road
Escondido, CA 9205

Dear Ms. Moore:

I am writing to request that students at San Pasqual Academy can go on self-passes at a younger age. Currently, students must be sixteen to go off of campus without an adult. I think students should be allowed to earn self-passes at the age of fifteen.

Students should be allowed to go on self-passes at the age of fifteen because I don’t think that they should have to wait until the are 16. My reasons are that sometimes it gets really, really boring on campus and i would be nice if we could go to a friends house off campus instead of always going with the same people all the time to the same places.

Thank you for your consideration and your time. I appreciate it and look forward to meeting with you so we can talk about this topic more. I hope that you do accept this request for self-pass at the age of fifteen i think that would be great and a lot of kids would enjoy the opportunity to go on self pass at the age of fifteen instead of sixteen.

Sincerely,


Brian

A time when I felt trapped between two worlds is here at San Pasqual Academy is the difference between being on campus and off campus. Like when we go on outings or pass its so different from here so it feels like two totally different worlds. I feel like I’m trapped when I’m here because we cant go anywhere unless its like a scheduled outing. Were stuck seeing the same people every single day it gets really annoying. Also were like in the middle of nowhere we have to drive for like 15 minutes just to get to society it seems like.

When I look into the orange groves I see money because there are hundreds of trees surrounding us here at San Pasqual Academy, so I’m pretty sure that they make a lot of money from all the oranges that they sell. I see them pick all the oranges twice a year. The workers are out here for like a week straight picking all the oranges. I wish that they wouldn’t use pesticides on the orange trees because that is bad. Getting to live among all these trees makes me feel a little trapped but I like the orange trees so it’s all good.

Summer School Plan

Summer School Plan


I hope that I will get to pass Ms. Priester class this time so I don’t have to do it next year. I also hope to pass so I can play football. This school year I hope to pass my sophomore year with a 3.00 or better. I don’t want to fail any of my classes, because I don’t want to take summer school again. I want to pass summer school so I can get off of two-hour, because two-hour sucks. I think my goals for this year a fairly reasonable and I think I can accomplish my goals.

Period 2
My Broken Finger

I love to play football. I feel football is a great outlet for releasing stress. I also feeling l that football is something I’m very good at football. It’s one of the few things I feel I’m good at. I work extremely hard when I play and train, I can say football is my favorite sports to play. One particular challenge I overcame happened this past football season. I broke my pinky in the middle of a game. I still ended up scoring two touchdowns and finishing the game. I felt great but later found out the bigger challenge was still ahead.
After playing a great game I was pumped and excited about my performance. After getting home I had my social worker Nick look at my pinky, he decided to take me to the Children’s Hospital and from the Children’s Hospital I went to Palomar Hospital to go get X rays. Then I went back to the children’s hospital and they confirmed that my pinky was broken. At first I was really mad because I knew that I wouldn’t be able to play football for like 6 weeks. After waiting for another hour the doctor finally came in and told me that I wouldn’t be able to play for about 3 to 6 weeks. My only reaction was “Damn It” I can’t play football.
Here is where I had to challenge myself to overcome my injury. Without even knowing it I was depressed and mad about me not be able to play football and possibly not finishing the season with my team. Besides that, the injury was on my right hand so I couldn’t eat, write, or play video games. It was hard to do anything and I was getting angrier every day. But the worst was not having any control. How can a pinky stop me from playing, and how one doctor note can change the way I feel. I became rebellious and didn’t figure it would be worth doing anything, for what.
After days of not going to school and just sleeping long naps I became frustrated and started messing with my cast. It didn’t take long to start breaking it apart I was up all night till like 2 trying to take it off with help of my roommates. Then the next day I was ready to go to football practice I had all my gear on. I was waiting in the office then Beth came out and said “ What the heck did you do?” I told her, then they made me go home and had the nurse set another appointment for me to get another cast put on the next day. I knew then I needed to be patient and let time heal my finger.
In conclusion I was able to have the doctor look at my finger after three weeks and my pinky was healed! I was approved by the doctor to play football and the final four games of the season. I t was hard. I also overcame not using my right hand. I adjusted my everyday routine, I learned to eat and wash with my left hand. I think I overcame this challenge because it thought me to be patience and think about consequences. I still love to play football and I know there are bad things that happen but I can’t control that. I can control how I handle it though.

Persuasive Essay Final Draft

Throughout my short time here at San Pasqual Academy I have learned how important it is to work out and take care of my body. Exercise and a well balance meal are always preached to us. Water and healthy snacks are always provided for us. This essay will give a persuasive opinion on the benefits of working out and also try to understand why many students don’t make effort to do more.
I wanted to talk about exercising and how working out can help you in many ways. I have been working out for the last three months almost every day and I have improved my body a lot. I workout three days a week and have football training for cardio. According to Nurse Frank working out every other day helps a heart grow strong and healthy. He also said that if you work out and take care of your body your mind becomes stronger too. A lot of people say that the food at SPA is bad for you and not healthy I think it’s all in portions and if you exercise you should burn the calories off.
Another issue is laziness. Coach Serrano always push’s people to work out and train for football. He opens the gym at six in the morning everyday for kids can go in there to work out. He has played college football and says he can help get us into physical shape to play at the next level. Coach says 3-4 days a week with 45 minutes each workout can change your life. But not many people show up. I always hear people come it with excuses on why not to go “I stayed up late”, it’s way too early”, “and I work out later”. It’s a life change not a chore Coach says, that’s why many people don’t show up.
Lastly I feel exercise is important and people should start learning how to exercise would be the increasing of your life span. One study found that the average 65-year-old can expect an additional 12.7 years of healthy life –- meaning he will live disability-free until age 77.7. Highly active 65-years-olds, however, have an additional 5.7 years of healthy life expectancy –- they will remain disability free until age 83.4 (lifelong fitness). Plus you feel good and confident to go after girls. It also goes both ways women who workout and feel confident also can feel better about themselves but many settle for laziness.
So again I just want to persuade my classmate’s to start working out and start doing some kind of exercise to improve their health and body. I know I can do better myself at working out but I have started a workout out program and I feel great. I think anyone who wants to start exercising should write down the days they want to exercise and workout those days no matter what. Follow a schedule and write down your workouts to see your progression.

Symbolism in “The Skull and the Arrow” Underdog Paragraph


A Time when I was an underdog was when we played Murrieta Thunder hawks. We played them earlier in the season but that was when I broke my pinky so I didn’t get to play and one of our other players was injured to so we ended up losing 20-6 our only loss of the season. So four games later we play them in the Polmar Championship. So three plays into their first drive I get a pick in the back of the end zone and take it all the way back to the fifty. Which leads out team to score the first Touchdown. Then we kick it off and stop them so they punt it and I end up getting a touchdown I took it to the house because im a beast. But we ended up beating them and winning the Championship.

"Dog Star" Chronological Order of Flashback Paragraph


The story “Dog Star” wouldn’t have been as effective if it had been told in strict chronological order. I think the story was really good when they did the flashbacks. The whole story just fell into place it wouldn’t have been as fun reading it in chronological order. For example, the narrator was on the moon and thinking of his dog when the earthquake happened. For example when he visited his friends in Berkley when lika barked and there was an earthquake. I don’t think stories in chronological order are fun or interesting to read.

"Thank You M'am" Before You Read: Going Gets Tough


There is some truth to the saying “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” For example in a football game when your down and you need to score some people make big plays in tough times. When your down a touchdown or two and it’s the finale minutes in the fourth quarter that’s when the going gets tough and the tough get going. Those who don’t get tough are the ones getting frustrated arguing with the refs cussing yelling at their team mates doing all the things the team doesn’t need.

When facing heart-pounding fear, people perform well because people perform well because they are scared for there life. Like when you’re getting chased by a large drooling pit bull you would do crazy things to get away from it because you really don’t think things through. When people face heart-pounding fear they do unthinkable, unspeakable, unheard of things. Like the guy who his arm stuck in a rock he cut his own arm off to free himself.

Greatest High School Accomplishment - 9th

Greatest High School Accomplishment - 9th

My Greatest freshmen year accomplishment had to be… This one time earlier in the year when I had an A in Ms. Priester’s class. I was doing all my work is I was doing good work on top of all my stuff then I just stopped doing the work because I got lazy and didn’t want to do it and now im playing catch up trying to get my grades up. But that is my greatest freshmen year academic accomplishment because I have never really had a good grade in that class.

Greatest Obstacle of Freshman Year

Greatest Obstacle of Freshman Year

The biggest obstacle you had to deal with during the past year? The biggest obstacle I had to deal with was definitely doing the homework and not being lazy its not that the work was hard it was just that I didn’t want to do it. Then I finally learned that I was just hurting myself and I really want to play football so I was keeping up with my class work and homework. This is a valuable learning experience for me it teaches me that instead of being lazy and not doing the work and getting really behind and having to play catch up when I can just be on top of my stuff. That had to be my greatest obstacle.

Romeo and Juliet – Cause of Deaths

Romeo and Juliet – Cause of Deaths

“Do Romeo and Juliet die as a result of fate or a result of human errors?,” I think that Romeo and Juliet did die of human errors. I believe that they died of human errors because when the fryer sent the message to Romeo the messenger didn’t get the message to him in time , So therefore one of Romeos friends informed Romeo that Juliet was dead so since he thought she was dead so he decided to kill himself like a dummy. So yes they did die of human errors.

Romeo and Juliet – Rage

“What are the negative consequences of rage? The negative consequences of rage are hurting people, destroying property, and just doing things out of impulse because you’re angry can lead to very very bad consequences. Some people get angry and kill people. Like Romeo out of rage killed tablet Romeo killed tybalt because tybalt killed mercucio Juliet’s dad got mad and said he was gonna disown Juliet because she didn’t want to marry Paris. Then because Romeo killed tybalt got banished from Verona forever. I’m pretty sure that the caplets are going to get angry very angry when they find out or if they find out that Romeo and Juliet got married.

Do you think they truly love the other person or do they just like the idea doing something that is not allowed? I think that they are in forbidden love.

Never so I just think they are doing it because it is not allowed. Or maybe it is real love maybe it was love at first sight and they are doing it because they really love each other even know they don’t even know each other.

How would you feel if Tia Moore had permission to decide who you would marry? If Tia had permission to decide who I had to marry. I would really hope she picked someone who I liked and not just some random girl who I didn’t like that would be bad very very bad. What would suck even more would be if you were going out with someone and she married that person to someone else yea that wouldn’t be very good. So I don’t think that would be a good idea if she had permission to decide who we marry.

Some of the conflicts that take place in Verona are similar to the things that happen in San Diego. San Diego has gangs like Romeo And Juliet and there is fighting, drama, and love!. One thing that doesn’t happen in San Diego parents trying to get their daughters to marry older men witch is really wrong in America. They do that in some countries but not in the US. Also in San Diego there is teenagers that do fall in love.

Romeo and Juliet - Control or Fate?

Do you think people control their own destinies or the future up to fate? I do believe that people control their fate to an extent. Say like your driving a hundred miles and hour down a road when the speed limit is 20 of course something bad is destined to happen. Then on the other hand if some one is walking on the sidewalk and all of a sudden a car hits him you really can’t control that. So its like 50/50.In the play Romeo and Juliet I think it was fate that those series of events happened and choices had a lot to do with it also.

I haven’t read Romeo and Juliet myself, but I know about it because I have seen the movie. I watched the old movie in seventh grade.  It is about two lovers and it has fighting, drama, poisoning and so on. I know that Shakesphere is a very good poet/author.

Is the book really long?
Did you guys enjoy reading it?

Do you think it is wrong that SPA students just post the words of Caucasian men in our halls? Why or why not? Me personally I don’t think that that is an issue maybe the Caucasian man came up with the best quotes Because it wouldn’t make sense why it would be a problem because we have little to no white people  in our classes the students are the ones who picked the quotes . I believe that good quotes come from all people not just white men maybe it was just a coincidence that they were all white

CST Testing Reflection

CST Testing Reflection


CST testing was very very boring. It was cool that we got to have breakfast in the class rooms and that we didn’t have to go to all our classes but that’s about it. There was like eighty questions on each test. Some of it easy the really easy parts were in beginning of the test then towards the end they were hard. We only tested on English and math which was better than testing on history and science on top of that so I’m grateful we didn’t have to do that.

I am choosing to write about the NFL lockout. I really hope this lockout ends soon because a whole year with out football I don’t know of I can handle that. Because I could barley handle when the football season ends. Also not only is the lockout bad for the players but it is also bad for the people like the ball boys and the people who help with the teams and with out football they also don’t have a job and there not getting paid that much as it is. So I hope it ends soon.

My Ungoogleable Research for an Eight-Year Old

My Ungoogleable Research for an Eight-Year Old

Most NFL players aren’t very successful after the NFL. Because they usually spend all there money on useless things. Like cars there not useless but they don’t have to over do it with like 10 cars. Or buy a 20 million dollar house and a whole bunch of other things. It is important to know this information because if you ever be successful with that kind of money it is really important to save your money because if you go buying all sorts of things you won’t have it when you really need it.

Third Quarter Awards Review

Third Quarter Awards Assembly


The assembly was ok. We were just sitting for awhile so it got a little boring but it was cool to see the awards being passed out. One thing that is really cool is that if you get a 4.00 you get a hundred dollars from both Tia and Alex. It was funny when Johnny went to go get his award he’s been here for a while he deserves one. Also it was cool when they called everybody with a 3.00 I think they get like seventy five dollars. Next time I hope to get an award.

What i already know

What I Already Know


My focus question is “Are NFL players successful after they leave the NFL? I already know that the average NFL career is three years and that a lot of players after they leave the NFL aren’t very successful. They have signs of depression and many turn into drug addicts and or alcoholics. I also know that many college players who leave school early to enter the NFL after the NFL aren’t successful because lack of education. Additionally and most important for those who actually have a career In the NFL they have no retirement plans or benefits. By doing research I hope to learn that I have to get an education and to learn from there mistakes.

My Reaction to JFK’s Death

I have been very interested in the assignation of John F. Kennedy. I feel it is a conspiracy
but I know that’s not what was supposed to write about. I think it’s sad that a good man
died so young. I really want to know why he died and for what reasons. I know his
brother died too trying to become president too. Did people really hate him for making
equal rights for people? It sucks that his kids grow up with no dad. I would have been
real mad if that was my brother. That’s how I feel about John F. Kennedy.

I feel really hungry right now and I want a lot of food. Like a 4x4 hamburger from in and out with some fries and a shake. I also want some panda express with chow mien , orange chicken, Beijing beef and some honey walnut shrimp. Then to top it all off I would destroy some cookies and cream ice cream from stone cold. After all that I would go to sleep for a little bit. Then after I wake up I would play some Madden 11 with my housemates but they are no challenge for me cause I’m a “BEAST” at madden!!!!!!

My favorite is steak and eggs I get all my seasoning for my steak like, garlic salt, seasoning salt, pepper, and onion. I started with seasoning the steak and marinating it in olive oil before I cook it. Then I put it in the oven for 15 minutes after 15 minutes I put it on a pan medium low and I cook both sides for about 5 minutes because I like it medium rare. Right before my steak is done I put another pan and cook me three sunny side eggs and eat it with my steak. I think my cooking is technique is really good overall it was delicious. It tasted good it looked extravagant and delicious it also smelled good and it was very fulfilling and healthy. Here is a sample of a coulple weeks ago

I don’t really have a memorable Valentines Day, but today I woke up knowing it was going to be a good day. I currently have plans  that could possibly be a  memorable moment to date. However, time will tell. Valentines Day has always been a good day for me. I like girls and sometimes good things happen. Something memorable every Valentine’s Day is the chocolate.

My goals for the third quarter are to get above a 3.00 and to also have better behavior and listen more.

At the end of the third quarter I will expect to feel good at the end of the third quarter because I have done almost all of my wok this quarter.

"The Skull and the Arrow" Underdog Paragraph

“The Skull and the Arrow” Underdog paragraph


A time when I and my team were an underdog was when we were in the championship game against a team called the Murrieta Thunder Hawks. They were the only team to beat us that year so we were 10 -1 the score was 20-6 when they beat us. But when they beat us I wasn’t there because I had a cast because I broke my pinky really bad. So in the championship they were our opponent. So on the first drive of the game I had an interception from the end zone all the way to the 50 yard line and then we scored on that drive. I also had a punt return for like 70 yards but it got called back because one of my team mates roughed the kicker so they called it back and I was extremely angry. So the final score of the game was 14-6 us of course because I was there!

" The Grandfather" my tree trunk paragraph

“The Grandfather” My tree trunk paragraph

Like the narrator in “The grandfather” by Gary Soto, I consider some of the kids that I hang out with to be my family. These people are my family because we are just like brothers we hang out all the time and when I need help with some thing they always help me and are helpful. They give me strength by being supportive. An example of a time when I depended on them was that I needed some help with Mr. Priester’s homework because I did not know how to do it and they went over it with me. A tree symbolizes family because just like a tree there are many branches like people in a family

"The Grandfather" Three meanings of the tree paragraph

“The Grandfather” Three meanings of the tree paragraph


The most symbolic item in the “Grandfather” by Gary Soto is the avocado tree. The avocado tree represents the grandfather. The grandfather work so hard to plant and care for the avocado tree. After the grandfather dies the narrator takes over the tree and as the narrator grows so does the tree. Also the tree represents the family. Each tree branch represents one person of the family. The tree grew so much that the narrator said that each family member on each others shoulders wouldn’t even be as big as the avocado tree.
