Analy. #1<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1.) A- The nonfiction book that I chose to read as my second book is named Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. The summary of this book is Stargirl was homeschooled for a long time and for most of her school life and she then decided it was time to leave homeschooling and to enroll in the tenth grade of a public high school in Arizona. She was a very outgoing young lady who loved to cheer her teams on. She then joined the cheer team but during basketball season the fans began to dislike her and her boyfriend Leo. There was a girl named Hillari who really did not care for Stargirl at all. Later on after the dance, Stargirl never returned again to the school. She and her family left the state and her spirit did remain, however, in way like the small group of basketball fans who years lady at school basketball games always cheered the first basket scored by the opposing team. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">B.) All in all, the way I would narrow this story down to one statement is never left anyone tell or try to show you who you should be; always be yourself and know the importance of that. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2.) I have a feeling the author chose to write about this book because she may have been involved in a situation like the one she described in this book or she had it happen to her.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3.) I chose this book because I am always very interested books like this. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">4.) Yes, I really found this book realistic because I have seen this happen in real life. This is a situation that happens all the time. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">PEOPLE:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1.) I feel that she is very into the whole bully proof theory and to make sure less and less young adults get bullied. She just seems like she is really against this subject like it has maybe happened to her before or someone in a similar situation she has known. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2.) Stargirl- Her real name is Susan Julia Caraway and was a tenth grade girl with blonde hair and freckles. She was a very mysterious young lady.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Kevin Quinlan- He was a student at the high school and he was a good from of Stargirl's boyfriend Leo. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Leo Borlock- He is the narrator of the story and was also a student there at Mica High School along with Stargirl and Kevin. He was very interested in Stargirl and was always trying to understand her in anyway possible.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3.) All of these people play a very big part in this story and they are all major characters.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1.) Direct Characterization- </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“She was not dressed like the rest of the girls.” -Chapter 1</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“She had blonde hair and freckles, and wore no makeup.” -Chapter 1</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“She wore bright red overall shorts and used makeup to create over-sized freckles and reddened cheeks.” -Chapter 2</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Indirect Characterization-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“He feared that if stargirl was a planet, she could not be on Hot Seat.” -Chapter 2</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“She sang happy birthday to him while strumming her ukulele.” -Chapter 2</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“Stargirl went to the funeral even though she did not know him.” -Chapter 4</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2.) No, I don’t feel that the author changes at all while describing the other characters.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3.) I feel that the protagonist is flat only because he says what he says and if someone doesn’t like it he still doesn’t care.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">4.) Yes, I really did feel like I met Stargirl because I felt like I have been in her shoes a couple of times and I could most defiantly relate to some of her odd situations.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">STYLE</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1.) No, the author kept it plain and simple in the nonfiction point of view.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2.) She focuses more on the description because she feels that it is important that people know who and what they are like so that understanding the story because much easier which I see it the same way because I find myself doing the same sometimes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3.) She will mostly just start describing something or someone because that is the easiest way to set and create a mood.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">4.) I really feel like she wasn’t okay in the beginning with the whole bullying subject and who really cares what Stargirl wore and that type of stuff. I feel like she truly believes in being the person you really are and if people don’t want to except it then they don’t deserve to.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">5.) I didn’t notice anywhere in the story of the author using resources?</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">ENDURING MEMORY</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I really enjoyed this book a like because of two certain ideas. I really think this book comes to show that just because someone doesn’t like someone your hanging out with, something your wearing, or/and something you are doing; doesn’t mean that you have to stop doing that or stop wearing it or stop hanging out with someone who you really like. This book proves that you do not need to let someone tell you who you are or tell you what to do because no one should ever have to go through that. And on the other hand, just because someone is doing something you may not like, maybe they like it a lot therefore you have no write to make fun of or tell them that they should stop doing it because its not your actions it theirs so let them act for themselves. </span></div>

I am passionate about many many things but one thing that really catches my eye is Agriculture Business and I am more than excited to learn and further my future with this.<br />
<br />
2.) Using the tools from last semester I can put together many different blog post and learn how to combine it all into one so that I can go from there and take the main points.<br />
<br />
3.)I really need to start working and put forward all the effort to really have a fine grip in what I want to do and work at it until I know I have reached my goals. From there I will set higher goals for myself and from there on and on it will be that way, just keep pushing my goals further and further.<br />
<br />
4.) I have many personal experiences I am able to talk about so I have no problem doing that and interesting people even more.<br />
<br />
5.) I will really go out and look for other ways to put this certain topic to work.<br />
<br />
6.) I have many different resources I can choose from because I do come from a farming family ( Teixeria Farms) and so therefore I have my family to help me, I have experts like Dr. Preston, and of course friends always put their input in as well which helps hearing it from a person my ages mouth.<br />

Right now, I am seventeen years old and living the amazing senior life. I have everything I really need and I am so happy with the work I have been putting forward. I have really noticed my parents starting to put much more on my shoulders though. I love my parents and I know they are only trying to prepare me for what is to come in the near future and to be honest, I love it. I can't wait to have my own place, graduated and with a major in Agriculture Business. I have been realizing now that my eighteenth birthday is coming around things are becoming much different. I have much more freedom although I am still very under my parents wings which I will always be. My future I see so far is doing my two years of general education at Hancock and then moving onto go to take my last two years of college at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where I then plan on majoring in AG. Business and furthering my career through Agriculture. I have been raising around Agriculture my whole life and am following the footsteps of many of my family members which I love. I expect to put all of my dreams and wishes to work and make the best of my life. I have such big dreams and one is to make my family and parents mostly very happy. I know throughout my life there have been struggles but my parents have always been by mysids and never left once and that is the reason I am who I am today. I cannot wait to see what me along with my fellow classmates do with our lives in our near future. Everyone has something different planned and maybe even nothing planned. At sometime in our lives we will all figure out what we want to do and whatever that certain thing is we are going to put our minds to work and do what we do best.Lauren Reynosohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01226675125216507467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968463270421052985.post-80057424972260476272014-01-09T17:36:00.000-08:002014-01-09T17:36:11.419-08:00NOTES ON "THE CHOICE"<br />
<ul>
<li>Drawing attention in the first sentence using the certain words he did including poison </li>
<li>Hero or Execution? </li>
<li>How certain parents put this vs. how this guy was really writing this story</li>
<li>Parents= not sure what the feelings are</li>
<li>Patience or love?</li>
<li>Authors attitude is more loving now and a sight of kindness is showing</li>
<li>Conversational tone and emotion play a huge roll in both telling and reading this</li>
<li>Truth- when we write in nonfiction it is so much needed</li>
<li>Fiction- meant to draw in</li>
<li>Nonfiction- designed as a story</li>
</ul>

It is referred to the girl either wanting to take the poison herself or her parents having to force it down her throat.<br />
<br />
2.) Yes it is a real choice because either she takes the poison or she dies.<br />
<br />
3.) It is literally poison to keep her living and by putting it the way she did she really drew attention to the into of the article.<br />
<br />
4.) She feels that she will never live to be the age of 8 so she needs to play with it now and I do agree with her because if I was in that situation I would want to be allowed to play with a toy that I may not ever see.<br />
<br />
5.) I would want to travel and do all sorts of things that I would not be able to do past the age of 30.<br />
<br />
6.) I do not understand what is being asked in this question.<br />
<br />
7.) It is because some things you may have to fight for. Not everyone is given everything. Some have to work for it and some still may never get it for as long as they work. There are always wants in life but the needs need to be taken care of first.<br />

I really think that starting and ending my essay was the easiest because opening and closing or intro and conclusion is always a very easy thing to do but the one thing I do have a problem with is when I have to cite my sources I was not sure how to tie everything into and within that. The findings was another thing that I had a rough time with and I was not understand really having to tie it into my essay. I got help from other friends because of it and was making sure that all of our thoughts went together into making this essay as good as it could get.Lauren Reynosohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01226675125216507467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968463270421052985.post-27930085999305684432013-11-11T20:18:00.002-08:002013-11-11T20:18:21.930-08:00Term Paper<br /><br />Lauren Reynoso<br /><br />Dr. Preston<br /><br />English 1A<br /><br />November 9th, 2013<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> The Problem Of Racism Around The World<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Can you image how much welcoming, sweet, and happier this world would be without racism? Well, through my years of being on this earth, I have had the awful pleasure of being able to witness, hear, and deal with this world racism problems. I have come across many different facts about racism including, “ African- Americans comprise 13 percent of the U.S. population and the 14 percent of the monthly drug users, but 37 percent of the people that are arrested for drug related offenses in America.” There may be certain races that may be most known for a certain thing including crimes, theft, and those certain things but everyone is human, everyone is the same therefore no one in this world deserves to be mistreated because of the color of their skin or because of the way they look. It is absolutely wrong and awful. The other facts that opened my eyes are, “In a 2009 report, two-thirds of the criminal receiving life sentences were non-whites. In New York, it is 83 percent.” When I read this I think to myself, I wonder why African Americans are the way they are and why they are committing so many crimes and using drugs so often. Then a thought comes to my mind and it is that they have nothing else to do with their lives. They make these bad decisions because this world only thinks they are capable of those decisions so they don't offer any better than they think they deserve. I can tell a story that is from my own past and what actually happened in front of my one time. My three girlfriends and I went on a trip to San Francisco and there are so many different things to see and do there. So we decided we would get ready in our hotel room and dress up nice to go have a dinner down at the Union Square because we had gone during Christmas time and it was so beautiful, the tree was lit and there were so many amazing things to look for and see. So we decided we wanted to go to The Cheesecake Factory. So we are on our way to The Cheesecake Factory and as we are passing right by the tree and right by the ice skating rink; I look down to my right corner and I see a homeless black man who was sitting right below this tree. There were so many people walking by and looking and he was holding up a sign. So I decided to walk by and look at the sign as I was walking and the sign read, “I know I am black but I am willing to work for anything.” As I saw that I looked to my friends and I said did you see that and they both answered no and so I stopped and had them read it. They could not believe their own eyes and were so shocked. I; to this day, cannot believe that some man would ever have to think or describe himself in that way. Everyone is human and everyone should be treated the same. The fact that no one can walk this world with just a normal and happy life without having to be sat there and stared at by others who have different colored skin than they do, or who don't look the same as they do. This is not just in racism. This goes for anything as far as hairdo’s to the way your makeup is done to any type of disorder. It just amazes me that our world can be so cruel and judgmental. Nobody in this world is perfect. I don’t care what anyone says or who tries to avoid that statement but NO ONE is perfect therefore everyone has their flaws, everyone doesn’t do everything right and the fact that someone thinks that they can point out other peoples flaws and troubles is not right in anyway. Another big thing for me is that when I walk around school I see others hanging out in many different groups. Some of the groups we call jocks, partiers, nerds, asians, athletes and there are so many more. I feel that everyone likes their own things and no one should be judged just maybe because you don’t hang out with the nerds doesn’t mean that you never can. Someone may get into a fight in their group, say one of the jocks get into a fight with another jock and so one of them is kicked out of the “group” and then the jock wants to go into the other group of maybe athletes. The athletes need to be welcoming and sometimes you do find that and sometimes you don’t. It really just depends on what you like and what you want. Everyone should learn how to welcome others into other groups. Not everyone may want to hang out with all the same people and therefore meeting new people and hanging out with others is always a good thing. <br /><br /> In a lot of places you always see other races trying to act like someone or something they are which most of the time means another race. There are a lot of white people out there at my school that are always trying to act like Hispanics. They end up starting to hang out with them and do the things that the Hispanics do and then you start to see them dressing like the hispanics and then they start talking like them. It is all just a matter of who you are, who you want to be and who you are striving to be. I found a certain fact and it says, “A survey in 2011 revealed that 52 percent of non-Hispanic whites expressed anti-Hispanic attitudes.” There are always those type of people out there so in that case I feel that everyone needs to be the person they really are and not try to be someone they really aren’t because in the long run; if you are trying to make someone happy with someone you really aren’t and are acting to be someone then eventually they will realize that because you wont have any other ways to impress them or try to satisfy their every need and that is really not how the world is supposed to work. Everyone was made to be someone specifically and if God wanted you to be the way you are either wanting or trying to be then he would’ve made you that way. There is always a reason for everything and I don’t think people realize that. A lot of people have a hard time realizing stuff like that and they are always thinking that they need to be better and that they need to act like someone they are not and it is not good at all. <br /><br /> I have also began to notice that there are a lot of different black and whites in the federal and state prisons that go in for the same drug offense or murder sentence or something along that line but then the blacks end up getting and having to serve more time that the whites. I found a fact to relate to my point and to show that that is in some cases true, “In 2010, the U.S. Sentencing Commission reported that blacks receive 10 percent longer sentences than whites through the federal system for the same crimes.” I do not think that is right at all. And again that is what is wrong with our world today. There are always so many problems with racism and everyone acts like they are trying to stop it but it all just keeps going on and on and no one seems to be wanting to fix anything therefore I feel that if someone would just maybe start changing somethings and changing the way they do things and the way they treat certain people than I truly feel like this world would be such a happier, warmer and sweeter place. I really do look forward to looking and living in the future where hopefully we get to see a stop and end to this awful habit that others have and finally start to see a change in others attitudes and how others act towards each other and their actions towards each other because I truly feel that if someone were to start to stop their ugly habits that other would then look and that and then start to stop theirs are well and then it would all just go and flow together. <br /><br /> I remember; I can’t recall if it was my 7th or 8th grade year of school in Jr. High School, I remember being told that it was time to be shown the way it used to be in the older days and the way slaves and African-Americans used to be treated. So my class was very scared because we had always heard nothing about bad things about this movie and how sad it was and how many people would feel so bad and cry about this movie. So then came the day where we were finally going to start watching the movie. I can’t remember what it was called but I remember exactly what the boys name Kunta Kinte. He was the main character and was kind of like a slave. He was always being tossed around, always be told what to do and when to do it, he was always trying to do his best and when he thought he had finally reached the goal and the best he could do, others would always bring him down and somehow find a way to do whatever he did ten times better. I could not believe some of the scenes that were in the movie. It was just amazingly disgusting to see all of the different things that they used to make these poor African-American “slaves” do. It was so harsh and unhealthy. So mean and cruel. To this day, we get to look back on that and say how much we have improved and how much better we have gotten from that day but really you still look at these days now and you see the same racial discrimination going on on the streets in our own hometown city every single day. I just wonder to myself when all of this will stop, when will this all go away, when will people finally start to realize that everyone was born human. No one is the same and no one is perfect but it is what it is and hopefully one day people will look at themselves and finally say, “Well I am okay with the way I look,” or “I am okay with having dark or blonde hair.” I really feel that it is just a matter of time and that we are finally coming close to it. I know that somewhere in the near future we will finally be able to walk around and not have to hear racial slurs and racial remarks being said everywhere we go and everywhere we walk. That day is coming and we all know it is just a matter of time now. I am very happy to say that I surround myself with people from many races. I do not have all white friends, I do not have all mexican friends, I do not have all African- American friends and I am 110 percent okay with the fact that everyone of my friends are not the same and maybe we are not all happy and we are not all very wealthy but I am proud to say that I am not a big racial discriminator and that I am okay with everyone and I am always welcome to meeting new people and I am always there to help everyone and anyone. I hope to see more people trying to change the acts the everyone in this country and beyond has developed and change them around to what it really should be like. <br /><br /> The last fact that caught my attention was, “ Studies show that police are much more likely to pull over and frisk blacks or Latinos than whites. In New York City, 80 percent of the tops made by the NYPD were blacks and Latinos, and 85 percent of those people were frisked, compared to a mere 8 percent of the white people stopped.” I think it is ridiculous to see how crazy the racial discrimination has gotten through the years and I can not wait until there is someone out there who starts to take charge and really finally try to put a stop to this and succeeds. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">

You can walk around anywhere anytime of day around any type of people and you always hear the awful racial discrimination that goes on around in this world.

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">1.) A- My book is about a 13 year-old girl who is named Bethany Hamilton. Bethany is a champion surfer who has loved the water since she was a young girl. After an amazing night out surfing and what she thought would be a fun day in the water the next day, she is attacked by a shark and loses her arm. She is rushed to the ER and staying calm, remains her faith in god. They tell her they will be no way for her arm to be kept on and that the shark took it all. She now has to learn how to surf with one hand and one arm. It will take her friends, family, and her Christian faith to get her back into the water, but if that is where she is meant to be, she will find a way to get through recovery and get back in the water. B- All in all this is about a young girl who never loses her dream, keeps reaching for the stars and never gives up. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">2.) I feel that the author chose to write about this story and topic because this could be very influential to many other young girls not only young girls but anyone in this world.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">3.)I chose to write about this book because I really do enjoy this book a lot and I think it teaches you something every young human should know, which is to never give up on yourself and always keep reaching for the stars.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">4.) Yes, I know this book was realistic because this did happen in real life and if you think about it this could happen to anyone in almost any circumstance not only just in the ocean with a shark and a young 13 year-old girl. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">1.) She chose to write about this book because like I said, this could influence others a lot and really could change someones life.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">2.) Cheri Hamilton- This is the mom of Bethany and I really feel that she is an important character because this is the lady that kept Beth going. I felt like she was always pushing Bethany to her outer limits and she knew what she was capable of.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Tom Hamilton- This is the dad of Bethany and he does play a huge part in this book because a lot like me, Bethany and her dad are very close and Beth looks up to her dad very much so when her dad stayed by her side and helped her with everything that he possibly could, it really meant a lot to her a helped keep her going. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">3.) These two people just have a very interested and sweet personality which makes them much easier to talk and to write about.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">STYLE</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">1.) No, I do not see that anywhere in this book that the author uses any type of foreshadowing or shows or demonstrates any type of fiction writing.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">2.) The author focuses more on action because she knows that that is the most important part in this book. No one would have really felt the emotion if it wasn’t showed.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">3.) I think the author had a very loving and sweet attitude towards these characters and most of all Bethany because of all that had happened to her and I feel that she really gives her a lot of credit throughout the story because she is so competitive and does not take no for an answer. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">4.) She shows more of actions and explains why Bethany and the other characters are doing what they are doing and what it really takes to become successful again for Bethany. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">5.) The other did not refer anything as in interview or historical document which makes this very hard to tell from this.</span></div>

Our plan is to get one section and one assignment done every day so all in all we will be able to complete three different assessments in the matter of three days while you are gone. We are going to focus on also helping not just ourselves but others as well who maybe have questions and we are hoping if we have any questions we will be able to get input from others in the class as well.Lauren Reynosohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01226675125216507467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968463270421052985.post-26132525520732523482013-10-03T19:47:00.000-07:002013-10-03T19:47:11.978-07:00Melancholy GradTo my graduating class of 2014,<br />
I sure have a lot to say about these past few years... Where we have been, what we have been through, the reasons for some of our actions, the struggles over the past years and always the most important; what it takes to overcome the struggles. Now, I am sure all of us have different answers for these different questions but all in all I think they are around the same subject.<br />
<br />
In the past, we have all had those days where we wake up at 6:30-7:00 am to wind blowing, rain hitting the windows and the news channel in your parents room saying, "Well folks, it looks like its going to be a rainy day out there today." Yeah, I think I can speak for everyone in this situation. Those are the types of days where you just really do not want to get out of bed and you just want to watch movies, blankets on, hot chocolate in your right hand. But not all of us would choose to do that. Some of students had no problem getting up at that time no matter what kind of day it is they are ready to work and to learn.<br />
<br />
As we look back, I am sure we all have had a time or times where we wish we could go back and change the way things went or how the result came out. There will also be the times where we look back and say, "My goodness, that was a blast," like we could remember that date and the time like the back of our hands. All of us I can speak for everyone I am sure have had our good and bad days both. The biggest thing is to have more positive than negative in life and if that is the case then you know you are doing okay.<br />
<br />
All in all, each and everyone of you have made an impression and a last thought in this school and I want to thank everyone for such an amazing four years at this amazing school. Even the times when we were trying to go against something or the times we would try to change the rules; we all stuck together as one and I couldn't thank each and everyone of you ladies and gentlemen enough! Class of 2014, you will never be forgotten!Lauren Reynosohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01226675125216507467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968463270421052985.post-8592702633371972682013-10-01T20:09:00.000-07:002013-10-01T20:09:16.997-07:00Vocab #7 Fall<br />

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">A.) </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">To act or just to stay back and watch. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Should I just sit back and watch and let this happen or should I step forward and do what I really feel should be done and what he deserves to be done to him.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">No more heart aches for those that had to be involved in the death of his father and now have to witness the marriage of the uncle to the mother.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Should we really dread something after death, should I kill my uncle and get in trouble but keep him from the throne or should I let him go and do this.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">(Had a hard time understanding the ending of this)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">B.) I believe in to act on what you know to be true in order to hold yourself in higher esteem because I really do believe that a person should be able to speak their mind no matter what anyone says or does. Everyone needs to know that they have the freedom of speech and they need to understand how and when to put it into play.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">C.) The path I will take in life it to speak my mind no matter what time it is, if it is wrong or right and to always let people know what is right and what is wrong because I believe that is how people solve problems and even though someone may not appriciate it at the time, they will look back years later and realize how much you helped them out. </span></div>

The part that really caught my eye was when you first started this section out with the fact that you were going to tell us three stories, and it was not the fact that you just said three stories; it was because you ended up saying just three stories, thats all. I feel like you meant it was no big deal at all even though the three stories you told all had an amazing and different meaning to each one of them. It seems to me that you are one amazing and very fortunate person who had to work for your future, it was not just handed to you and to me that is one of the most meaningful things. All in all, thank you for sharing this and I really enjoyed it.Lauren Reynosohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01226675125216507467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968463270421052985.post-4468531152659911512013-09-29T11:02:00.001-07:002013-09-29T11:02:45.608-07:00To Act Or To Not ActThis whole section really does not make a lot of sense to me only because I could not really point out where the soliloquy starts and what is the whole meaning of it/the section. I think we need to analyze this a little more and really sit down and talk about it.Lauren Reynosohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01226675125216507467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968463270421052985.post-9978360869605457442013-09-25T20:16:00.003-07:002013-09-25T20:16:48.341-07:00The Value Of Choice<b><i><u>A.)</u></i></b> The biggest topic that really caught my attention was the topic called, "Roger Ebert: The Essential Man." I feel that I would love to learn more about this section and just really get deep into the text and analyze the different concepts, text, and different ways to learn this topic.<br />
<br />
<b><i>B.)</i></b> The skills that I would love to learn and acquire by the end of this topical study would have to be the different text styles. Also, another thing that interested me in this whole value to life document was the name of the topic I chose because it just seems like you never really know the Essential Man until you really understand and learn about the topic. So therefore, I feel like this document was made to give you a better understanding and a better view on the actual or what they say is more of the Essential Man.Lauren Reynosohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01226675125216507467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968463270421052985.post-88502633757654686232013-09-24T18:20:00.003-07:002013-09-24T18:20:51.565-07:00Netvibes DashboardI think this is an amazing website. I love how much you can see at once and creating the whole account only took about 5 minutes if that. This will help me be able to manage many different social networks and emails at many different times. I can be seeing what is happening on twitter while I am also seeing the news feed on Facebook and still waiting for an email from someone on my gmail account. I really feel this could help with a lot and I am looking forward into creating much more onto my dashboard and really figuring this website out. This is really a great idea and I would strongly recommend this website to other high school, college, or graduated students. Even parents could benefit from this, that is what I like most about it.Lauren Reynosohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01226675125216507467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968463270421052985.post-32736240376219147322013-09-23T10:49:00.003-07:002013-09-23T10:49:54.057-07:00VOCAB #6 FALL<u style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; line-height: 18px;">1.)
