End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Achievement

My greatest achievement from the past two years was finishing this year’s school yearbook. Even though I have helped create and complete two yearbooks at this school, to me this year’s yearbook was different. I feel that this is my best and greatest achievement, because I tried and completed my tasks most of the time. I also went around to all the houses and put in extra work to raise money. I also hit a bump in the road when I did not want to do anything, put my teacher did not give up on me and keep pushing me till I got things done. In the end this incident has changed me to become a better worker and organizer. I am proud of my work on this year’s yearbook.

First Day of School Paragraph 2011

I woke up excited for my sophomore year, I was so happy to not be called all the freshman names. I got ready and then went up to the café to eat breakfast. My first class is algebra one with Mr. Fenick and it was interesting. Second period is English 10 with Ms. Priester who is also the yearbook teacher for my sixth period class. Third period is Ms. Davis Biology class, which I was tardy for. Four is my favorite class; P.E. with Coach Burgo, his class is super easy and fun for me. I have second lunch and I sat with social workers and had great conversations. Fifth period came fast, its World History with a new teacher Ms. Kurger, he seems cool, but is kind of strict for me. Finally came sixth which as I said is yearbook. Over all it was a great day and I love all my classes!

Portfolio – Greatest Accomplishment

My greatest accomplishment was learning how to work with partners. In the beginning of the year I couldn’t work with a partner or partners, because it was difficult to do, I always never did work when they wanted to and when I did work I forgot I had a partner. It started to fail my grade and their grade also, so I had to learn and deal with working together in groups.  Now I am able to work in groups with other people and do better, I plan to get better at it though for my Sophomore year to be a better student.

Portfolio – Greatest Obstacle of Freshman Year

My biggest obstacle this year in this class was the time glider project. It was the most difficult because I couldn’t figure how to work the program or figure out the facts I needed to know. I needed more help, but when it was time to turn it in I didn’t get the help I needed so I gave up and didn’t care. I think it changed me because my grade went low, and I couldn’t afford to have a low grade. So now when I have a hard project I try harder and ask for a lot of help.

Romeo and Juliet – Arranged Marriages at SPA

In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is engaged to Prince, if Tia was to be able to engaged us to each other I would be mad. We wouldn't want to marry each other, maybe. We might not love each other or even know each other. We don't know if that person is truthful or even reliable. They could be a total jerk and what if we like the same gender and they were the other gender?! A lot of things could happen is she could marry us to each other, some of us would be happy some would be mad, it would be crazy and unfair. I would want to love someone before I ever married them!

SPA Prom 2011

I went to the 2011 prom of San Pasqual Academy. I wore like many others red and black, my dress was short and mainly red. I went with no one, I sat with Kristen, Mike F, Marcos, Bella, Ema, Ivan and Jennifer. Me and Kristen as the first two to go and dance, then everyone else came and danced too. When we had to stop was because it was time for dinner, it started with a salad, I didn't like it. Next was a bit more dancing, then the meal, I think it was steak, but I was really good. After that we were free to dance or go get desert, after a while of dancing Marvin and a couple of guys got up and went dancing on the stage. Overall it was a great day, and I was so happy that Teddy won king, because I voted for her!

San Diego County Third-Person Paragraph

When people go to the beach they park blocks away from the sand, they walk very far to the water too. People like it swim, surf, build sandcastles, get a tan, and like to float sometimes. When the sun starts to go down and the temperature lowers people leave. The parking lots get empty and the waves become low, Where they cant see in front of only the giant blazing fire in front of the people that are left. They can hear the crackle of the wood, the laughter of jokes being told, crashing sounds of the waves as they hit the sand.

Posters in the Hall

I think it not wrong and not right at the same time to only have Caucasians on the hallways wall. A lot of white men has said inspirational things, also it was hard to look African American quotes. It is up to the person to take a quote that they think is good enough, I did this not knowing if the men where Caucasian or African American. Both have good words and thoughts in mind, but mostly the Caucasians are heard more than the African Americans are. Either way to me I think that it shouldn't matter whether the people where Caucasian or African American, they both say something inspirational to me!

Campus Life Third-Person Paragraph

A girl named Jennifer lives at a place called San Pasqual Academy, and every morning she has to get up and get ready. When she first wakes up at 6:30am she turns her alarm off then rolls over and falls back asleep. Soon she wakes at 7:00am slowly getting up half asleep. She walks to the bathroom trying not to wake her roommate, but her roommate wakes up anyways. Jennifer washes her face first, and straightens her hair and puts on mascara. When she is back into her room she is fully awake and gets dressed, hopefully she tries to match, but soon fails. Playing her music on her roommate’s speakers she brushes her teeth, almost ready she looks at the clock. When it comes to 8:10am she is rushing out the door taking her medicine really fast. Jennifer is then off to school falling back asleep through out the day.

Third Quarter Awards Review

At San Pasqual Academy, we have an awards ceremony in the auditorium. Everyone goes even the teachers, and its held after every quarter. The first part of the assembly that we do is say the pledge of allegiance, I felt really bad because I forgot the pledge! Then they called up the people who got a 3.0GPA to 3.6GPA, I was called up and was mad because my GPA went down and not up. The best part of the awards ceremony for me was when Coach Burgos was telling his award and said great things about who it was for, and  it was me! My face was so surprised because I didn’t think that I was such a good p.e. student, I was laughing when I walked up there and it was really awesome and meant a lot to me. I liked the awards ceremony a lot because we miss two periods of school and then get pizza if we got an award.

S.P.A. Poem

(Metaphor) Life here is the same as watching a movie
There are actors
There are kids
What movie this is
A comedy so funny that its not
A horror so bad that I only laugh
A love story or just a lie
The people you see here
They go faster than the wind
How long will they stay
(Simile) And stay in a place like a tree’s roots
The teachers we see will soon go and we will flow
The memory of them will stay behind
(Personification) But soon this river of hope
Will turn to a river of hate
Forever
This place is in mind
The fights, the rumors, the life

Secret Place Poem

In this quiet place
No one else there
Looking straight above me I see clouds slowing passing by in the blue sky
Breathing in I can smell grass
Sometimes the smell of a grill being heated
I can taste the air that floats all around me
Laying quietly there I can hear the many voices of the guys and few girls
I feel underneath me prickly grass
This place is the -------- -----

SPA Movie & Games Day Paragraph

On Friday I knew we were going to have a so called fun day. It wasn’t that fun for me as a freshman. In the beginning it was really cool because I went to Mr.Walkers and was told that we were going to watch a movie about kids that aged out of he foster system. When we go into the middle room, where they had set up to watch the movie it turned out to be Freedom Writers!The movie was so good I wanted to watch it over again, and to save the little freshman. We all moved to the gym, they had a basketball game going on. freshman vs the juniors, seniors vs sophomores, I knew that we were going to loose. I was right we lost basketball to both the seniors and the juniors, sophomores where the champs. Volleyball next that's my sport, but we lost again because the freshman who played didn’t know how to and we all just kinda got confused. Then it was lunch which wasn’t fun at all, a cupcake eating contest and that was it. The BBQ was really good, I’m glad Jhonny cooked good that day it mad my day a lot better.

S.P.A. Theme Song

"You hit me once i hit you back
you gave a kick
i gave a slap
you smashed a plate
over my head
then i set fire to our bed
you hit me once
i hit you back
you gave a kick
i gave a slap
you smashed a plate
over my head
then i set fire to our bed
My black eye guess
no shirt on
your all i see
no place
your slaps dont stick
your kicks dont hit
so we remain the same
well love sticks sweat drips
break the lock if it don't fit
a kick in the teeth is good for some
a kiss with a fist is better than none
a-woah a kiss with a fist is better than none
broke your jaw once before spilt your blood upon the floor
you broke my leg with your touch
sit back and watch the bed burn
well love sticks sweat drips
break the lock if it don't fit
a kick in the teeth is good for some
a kiss with a fist is better than none
a-woah a kiss woth a fist is better than none
you hit me once
i hit you back
you gave a kick
i gave a slap
you smashed a plate over my head
then i set fire to our bed
you hit me once
i hit you back
you gave a kick
i gave a slap
you smashed a plate over my head
then i set fire to our bed"

This song "Kiss With a Fist" by Florence and The Machine, is the theme song for S.P.A.. At S.P.A. all the girls fight and some guys fight the girls. For the love of their boy a girl will go back to them. All the drama after a while the people just sit back and watch as the drama grows. In the end we all just fight and fight until the kicks and hits dont hurt any more. That is why this song is the theme song for S.P.A.
