U.S. History and Global History (CRR)

I always wonder, why do we need U.S History and Global History class?... I understand that all these wars and horrible people back then has done a lot of damage to this world... but it not like we will need to know this in the future. What matters is now... not the past! Well the past does matter, but what really matters is what's happening now. People should try and start to make a better change in their lives to become a better person. Global History and U.S. History is not really my favorite subject. I don't seem to understand and remember all the things that happened in the past. There is a lot of things that happened in the past that we need to remember, but it's just so many. For some reason these classes and I don't seem to connect. I try my best to listen and understand, but it seems like it just goes through one ear and out through the other ear. Others find this subject pretty easy and that's great! I hope I do well on all my regents ...especially U.S. History regents!

Struggles (FC)

Everyone struggles in life. School can be a struggle sometimes with all these projects, homework, exams, tests and quizzes! Right now I'm struggling because I was suppose to do this blog yesterday, but sadly I just couldn't, with all this homework I'm having. I'm trying my best in school and so far, I am doing great. I'm receiving 80's and mostly 90's in all my classes. But there is one class that I just can't seem to stay on the 90's. Sometimes I feel like a need someone who will be there to help me with all my problems/situations. I hope life in the future, I won't struggle with things. I'm in the 11th grade and I'm struggling just thinking about how college is going to be like; and how my future is going to look like. But I can't think about all the negatives, I have to think about the positives in life. What I know for sure is that I want to finish high school, go to college, and be successful!

My Puppy Jeter! :) (FC)

This is my puppy Jeter. As you can see his name says it all. He is named after my favorite baseball player. I'm a Yankees fan; and my favorite baseball player is #2, Derek Jeter. It was my sisters and I who decided to name him Jeter. I LOVE this puppy like crazy! Every time I get home from school, I have a huge smile on my face for 2 reasons; happy cause I'm going home and seeing my baby Jeter. Ever since I got this puppy I was full of excitement because I always dreamed about having a puppy. He brings a lot of joy and happiness to my life. He's my everything. I have treats for him and so I taught him some tricks. So far he knows how to sit, lie down, spin, stand, give me high five with his 2 paws and give me paw. He is a very talented puppy and I'm glad I have him in my life.

English Elective (CRR)

In my English Elective class we are talking about a story call the "Little Rock Nine". Its about how back in the old days were like when they use to have segregated schools. There were schools that only allowed people who were white, but didn't accept people of color because they thought colored people were different from the whites. When I read about this, I completely thought that was just ridiculous! Its horrible to read about how many people were treated horrible back then. People shouldn't be treated differently only because they look different. Everyone should be treated equally. That's why there's a quote that says "treat people the way you want to be treated". But I thank God on how some people decided to stand up and be proud of who they are; and helped make a HUGE change such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, etc.

Life & Money (FC)

I feel like without money you can't survive life. Life is mostly about money. I'm not saying life is only about money because life is about having a family that cares about you, living big, being successful and etc., but I'm just saying you do need money in life. Without money, how are you going to survive? Where are you going to live? And most importantly, how are you going to get clothes and FOOD? You need food to survive in this world and if you want food, you definitely need money, unless if you want to make/hunt for your own food in the wilds. But nobody wouldn't want to live in the wilds using leaves covering their private parts as clothes or hunting for their own foods and then getting mad if they haven't caught a rabbit or something. Everyone dream in life is pretty much about being successful, living in a big beautiful house, having a nice job where you get paid very well, going on vacations and things like that. But money can be difficult nowadays. Things are getting pretty expensive out there and there are things that people might really need and they can't afford it. This is why I say to myself, why can life be SO DIFFICULT?!?! People want to enjoy their life; not struggle in life and succeeding on what you want in life, is working hard for it!

English Elective - "Bullying" (CRR)

In my English Elective class we are talking and watching a movie about bullying. Why do people bully? Its horrible knowing all the bad things that had happened to the ones who got bullied. Some hanged themselves, some suffered, some stayed shut and not say a word about what's going on, and most of them commit suicide. Now, hearing all of this is very depressing and sad. A bully has nothing better to do in their life. Bullies bully others to make them feel better about themselves. I don't get this! Why would you bully someone to make you feel better? That's not helping you feel better; that's just getting yourself into more problems than you already have. Some schools would have bullies because some teachers or principles wouldn't even pay that much attention to their students. Some would think that by making the bully apologize to the one who is being bullied; it will stop the bully to do it again. NO! What they have should've done was warned the bully one last time. So instead of saying, "say sorry and shake hands", the correct way to say it is, "you are warned, next time I hear you bother this child or anyone else, you will have detention and I will speak with your parents about this". Therefore, the bully will now understand that bullying others will just get them in trouble.

Memories Of Being A Child (FC)

Now that I'm thinking about it, I kind of miss being a kid. I miss those good old days when I would be so happy about everything. I use to love when its Winter, Christmas was almost near and waking up in the morning running to my window to see white snow falling down. On Christmas eve, I would wait with my family until its 12:00am. As soon as it strikes 12:00am we would start to open our presents. Christmas is one of my favorite holiday when I was a child and still is. I miss playing games such as Tag, Hide n' Seek, Dance Contest, Singing Contest, and etc. I miss going to birthday parties and playing musical chairs, even though I would get mad sometimes if I didn't sat on a chair when the music stops. I miss going to the park with my mom and dad. They would buy me ice-cream, push me on the swings, pushing me down a slide and catching me before I fall down. I remember when my dad was trying to help me and my sister ride a bike for the first time without training wheel. I was scared at first, but he would be by my side just in case and then little by little I got the hang of it. It took a lot of practice, but I'm glad I learned. I remember going to Dorney Park and Six Flags. I was full of excitement on those days. Riding on the rollercoaster were pretty scary, but I loved it! There is so much to talk about when I was a child. I just really miss all those good old times when I was a child! 

Interdisciplinary post (ID)

This year I am taking a class about Theater. In this class, I am learning things I never knew before. I thought Theater was just about acting, but there is way more than that. Theater is about memorizing your part of a play/act. A antagonist is the bad main character. They provide the obstacle the protagonist tries to overcome. A protagonist is the main character whose success of failure the audience is most concerned. There are 3 different kinds of ways of how an actor can talk to each other or speak. A dialogue is a conversation between 2 or more actors in a play. A monologue is a long speech spoken by one actor without interruptions. A soliloquy is a speech given by a character alone on the stage where the audience gets  to know the inner thoughts and feelings of the character. Before the actors would perform they would all go to the Green Room. The Green Room is a room where all actors would stay and rehearse their part until they are up next to perform. There are so many new things I am learning in this class. I like this class because seeing actors makes me want to become an actor.
