Finish this sentence: I was most disappointed when... describe in detail a time when you were most disappointed. What happened? What caused the events?
I was disappointed when my mom would go against me. She would always believe everything my sister said about me and its a shame because she is already 19 years old. I was highly disappointed at her. I tried to get myself out of trouble but some how i was always falling into it. I remember a time when i went to the store walking to get something i needed to cook with . When i get home m mom asked me how i get home so fast i told her walking with my two feet. Then she falsely accused me of getting a ride to the store and if that i was the case i would of never been hot i would of never been gasping for air. No but my mom was so caught up in with whatever my older sister said about me she believed.

You have an extra $1,000,000 to give away; you cannot spend it on yourself. What would you do with the money? Describe what you would do with it in detail.
If i had an extra $1 million i would probably go to an orphanage and buy stuff for the homeless kids. I would buy them food, and pay for a decent education for them. I would also buy them new clothing and i would buy them some type of entertainment, like a PSP or something. I would feel really good doing this, and especially since they have no family, at least while theyre there i can help them feel more comfortable and they would have a nicer environment.Another thing i would do is i would make a savings account with $250,000 and let it gain interest so that later on they can use that money as they need it. To me this is all i could do, i think that if i had an extra $1 million i wouldnt need to give anything to my family, i would have probably already given them everything that they could ever need and could buy.

What is something you dislike about yourself? Describe it in detail. Why don’t you like this particular attribute?
One thing that i dislike about myself is that when someone insults me i go ahead and tell them how i feel. Some people are just ignorant and start to argue for the dumbest crap ever. But i understand because they just dont get enough attention at home. To tell you the truth i dont like making enemy's i like making friends. Most of my friends this year are cool. But for some reason this year everybody that i want to get to know they have very bad attitude problems. I know i dont have a bad attitude. Im the type of person who likes making people laugh. Well sometimes i wish i could just shut my mouth but something inside of me just lets loose and pushes me to say something. This happens all the time with me. Because i even do it to my mom.
I think i do this because i've had my feeling hurt to many times. I guess i do these things to prevent myself from getting my feeling hurt.Sometimes i hurt others because they have hurt me in many ways and i want them to feel the way i felt when ever they have told me something that offended me. I really dont ike being this way but im just being me and defending myself for the most part.

Have you ever seen a ghost or heard a noise that could not be explained by any rational explanation? If so describe the occurrence. What happened? Describe the entity you saw or sound you heard. If you have not, do you believe that there are spirits of dead people dwelling in our world? Do you know anyone who claims to have had an encounter such as this? Do you believe them?

I went to open my room door and the lights were turned as usual, when i turned my face to look their was someone sleeping in my bed.So i quietly closed the door and i asked my mom if she was taking care of my little cousin. She was like what are you talking about. Then, I told her theres a little girl sleeping in my bed and by then she knew i saw a ghost because she believes in that to.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why? Is there any special location that you would like to go to? Have you been there before? What is your impression of this place?
most definitely i would like to live somewhere where their its drama. I want a place where i could go outside at any time of day and not be scared. So i would like to live in sunrise and now my mom and dad are thinking about selling the house . I'm a little scared because this is a big change for me. Its my junior year and ima leave my friends and my boy friend. Which i really hope we stay together because he's my best friend. I know its going to be a new and fresh start and that is what i want but its scary moving to someplace new. Because you don't know if your going to make friends and you don't know how people are going to treat you.
I just don't know what to do. Ive been living in this house since i can remember i grow up here and this is where my dad left and this is where he raised me . This is where all the memories are at. I'm just sacred of change.

What is your most indispensable possession and why? What possession of yours is most special? What make it so special? How did you acquire it?
One of the most indispensable possession i have is my phone. I would not throw it away for nothing in the world. I can not go a day without my phone i will be miserable. I even sleep with my phone. This is my company, my joy, my happiness, my out half, my best friend. No one can ever take my phone away from me. Unless my father tells me that he isnt going to pay for my phone anymore. Which he will wouldnt do because he loves me to much. Well basically i cant live without my phone it is the valuable thing to me. Becuse if im in danger i can just call 911. If im stuck on the rode i dont have to walk on the highway ( dangerous decision at night or day) 10 miles just to go to pay phone. All the emergencies are taken care of in the amount in minutes.
Phones are a very important matter becuase they are helpful and useful in many ways. Its a fast wa yto communticate. Father than writing it down and sending a message through the mail and then having to wait 3 to 7 days to get it back. Now we have the greatest thing ever that is called text messaging every one an use it old people, young people and even deaf people. They can get around moroe easier and have friends who are deaf also. Most people look at havinga phone a distraction but the system how it works is so time consuming its just amazing.We should now be thankful for all these new things ZUNE,ipods and digital cameras, and those nice expensive phones with internet and mp3 .

Read the article located at this link. Write your opinion on the matter. Is calling the man hispanic to describe what he looks like a racist statement or not?
I think that it is a racist statement. It is racist because being hispanic is not a race, its an ethnicity. To me just because youre hispanic doesnt mean that youre a certain way. If you are hispanic you dont necessarily have to be white or black or look a certain way, everyone is different and we dont all come from one country or same place. I dont think that by describing someone as Hispanic can help in any way to find what a person looks like, sometimes someone is hispanic and you wont even notice until they tell you or they speak spanish.If being hispanic is a race then so is being chinese and japanese and all those other countries. But its not, cause they dont all look the same. I think its very racist to say that someone looks hispanic, for all i know there can be hispanic people that are white, black, purple, grey and yellow, and they dont look like one.

If I were the teacher, I would... (finish this sentence and write at least 2 paragraphs describing what you would do if you were a teacher)
like to educate students into stop using drugs. Which will stop abuse and violence in areas around the wrold. There will also be less kid napping and less suicide. I will like to change the way some people think. You know now a days their are many crazy out there. I would hate for my friends to start using drugs as many as they do now i want to prevent all that i can so that i can help them understand and change the way they look at things. Some get peer pressured but as for me i dont believe in that because if you were another one you would refuse, explain, avoid, leave. Their in no why someone will put a gun against your head and say if you dont smoke it ima going to kill you. Unless you have sico friends and i highly doubt that.
If people will understand what drugs do to you :
Alcohol first acts as a stimulant, and then it makes people feel relaxed and a bit sleepy.
High doses of alcohol seriously affect a person's judgment and coordination. Drinkers may have slurred speech, confusion,Depression, short-term memory loss, and slow reaction times.
Large volumes of alcohol drunk in a short period of time may cause alcohol poisoning.
Also,This may reduce the amount of stress

Describe a dream that you had recently. Provide as many details as possible. What do you think the dream meant? Did it disturb you or did it make you feel good? Why?
One of the most recent dreams i have had was about a couple of months ago. Basically, i was walking across the street which my family a few feet away from me and some kids behind me . As i was crossing the street i box chevy passed right in front of me and a guy came out of it with a gun and started to shot. When i turned around to see what was all of the camotion i felt a sharp pain in my stomach. Then i realized that i was bleeding and i've beenshot in the stomach. As look up i see everyone surrounding me. But the weirdest thing was that nobody knew what type of car. Nobody saw the guy. And nobody even cared for if they found the guy or not. All they cared about was if i was okay and i was alert until the ambulance came.
I cant never forget the feeling i had when i woke up. I was so cold. My fingers were red and icy cold. My stomach were the "shot'' me at was hurting. That dream was something i never want to experience. This is also my biggest fear. this was like something in real life but it wasn't it just really really bad.

If you could be given one skill or ability, which would you want, why would you want it and what would you do with it?
I would like to be given the ability to sing because i can dance but i wish i could sing because then i would be able to attract a lot of people and everyone would know me for my beautiful voice. Also because i like being the center of attention. I could also live off of what i do i could dance on the weekends for money and i could sing during the week at clubs and that way i could make my fame though the streets before i go out in the industry. I would do a lot with the money i would like to open up some businesses so that i coulkd have some more money coming in and i wouldnt really have to work so hard because everything i do all day would be exercise and it woulkd be a daily routine. On top of all of that i really like listening to music. I listen to music everyday before going to bed and when i have time doing my home work and on the way to school.
It would really benefit from me because i will have money. I would be living life to the fullest and i would be a very happy person. I would also we an independent person i wouldnt have to borrow money from nobody. which usuall yhappens in my family they are always running to people for money. So really that will cause be to move out of state and come back to m home town when ever i wanted to because i will have the money to go places. I want to live a life i never lived before. I dont want my kids growing the same life i did when i was a younger.

I would do a lot with the money i would like to open up some businesses so that i coulkd have some more money coming in and i wouldnt really have to work so hard because everything i do all day would be exercise and it woulkd be a daily routine. On top of all of that i really like listening to music. I listen to music everyday before going to bed and when i have time doing my home work and on the way to school.
It would really benefit from me because i will have money. I would be living life to the fullest and i would be a very happy person. I would also we an independent person i wouldnt have to borrow money from nobody. which usuall yhappens in my family they are always running to people for money. So really that will cause be to move out of state and come back to m home town when ever i wanted to because i will have the money to go places. I want to live a life i never lived before. I dont want my kids growing the same life i did when i was a younger.

Write about the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to you. What was it? What made it so frightening? How old were you? Would it be scary again today if it happened again?
One of the most terrifying things that has ever happened to me was when my mom was so into a religion that she tried to bring me into. My sister baby daddy is in the same religion my mom is, its called santeria. Well anyways one day my grand mama was having a little get together and the house and my mom didnt want me to stay their because supposably i had a bad spirit around me that was making me act bad. So my mom paid this man, my sister's baby daddy to cleanse me, to take all the negative things away. Mind you she forced me to go to this place. I know this might not make sense but if i were to tell you what happen physically you will understand it more. (going on with the story now) i get to this place and the start taking plants and candles and white plates and a tub of water. They tell me to get in the tub wit my cloths on and they start cleaning me with some plants and the guy had a tabacco in this mouth with a bottle of rum in the other. Then she sprays the rum on me and and blows tabacco at my face and body. Then he starts ripping my cloths off .In my head im saying who in the right mind is going to rip he cloths of a child and leave her cold and naked standing their. supposably this was a relgious thing. I was pissed the fuck off the whole two weeks later i didnt want no contact with my mom. I called my uncle who had just moved to orlando, i then told him what happened. On that day he told me pack your stuff im going down their. I did what he told me . When i came out of school the next day he was waiting in front of my house. My mom had no idea what was going on. My uncle had a letter which my mom was suppose to sign stating that she will sign me off to my uncle until i hit the age 18. But she didnt do it. They had to call the police. I had to tell the police everything that happened that night when everything went down. The police couldnt do anything so they had to call dcf and i had to go through a whole bunch of counsling which by the way when something is bad and embarrassing you ready dont want to say it a hundred times but i had to it was for my own good. But by the deep end of it i was not saved my mother still picks at me and my sister will always be after her fagget ass boy friend.

Write about the most exciting thing that ever happened to you. What was it? What made it so exciting? How old were you? Would it be exciting if you did it again?
One of the most exciting things that ever happened to me was when i got my reward in the fifth grade for my writng score. I got a five point five on the writing test when i was just in the fourth grade. It was the most amazing thing that ever happened because through out the whole year i was struggling to keep my grades up because i got suspended but all that hard work throughout that year really paid off. On top of that i hated the teacher that taught that year she was so boring and she was lazy. She never wanted to help us. That year we had to write in cursive and it was just that same year we learn how to write in cursive but i got through it. My other teacher would always but me to write because i was late in learning how to comprehend. So in the class we would always read new and more challenging stories. So i think that really had something to do with my creativity in my writing. I believe that i made it more exciting because i always have been the class clown, who would always joke around and make people laugh.I was about 9 years old when this happened.Well i would consider doing it again because i am good in writing sometimes depending on the topic but yea i would do it again because i would get more attention.

Write about a belief you've discarded. Talk about why you no longer believe in this belief?
I use to believe in Santa Clause. I would save him cookies and milk and when i woulkd wake up in the morning they would be gone and in the sink. I really though that that was real because who else would have ate them whenn everyone else" was sleeping". I do not believe in Santa Clause no more because our parents buy the presents to make us happy. I stopped believing in go when my aunt told me it wasn't real.

Do you have chores or jobs that you have to do at home? What are they? Why do you have to do them? Do you like doing them?
Yes as a matter a fact i do. I have to clean my room before i go out on the weekends.If i don't clean my room it will be really hard for me to convicne my mother to go out because i have my responsiblity for things and i need to keep up with them. I have to wash clothes before Monday comes so i could have clothes for school the next week. I like to wash my clothes on the weekends so i could be fresh and so clean clean for the next week. I do this every week otherwise thats just nasty ya feel me. Anyways i like doing my chores because it makes me a responsible person and if i cant accomplish this how would i be able to have a pet, or a child in the future.

What holidays does your family celebrate (like Christmas, Kwanzaa, or Hanukkah)? What do you do on those holidays?
The holiday my family celebrates is Christmas. Well to start of with,We invite some of my family to sleep over and we wait until everyone wakes up. We never open the gifts when people are still sleeping. But first we make a big breakfast and talk a little. Then, when everyone wakes up we begin passing out the gifts. My mother gets out the camera and everytime someone opens a gift she snaps a picture or she waits until after and the person takes a picture with it. The next year you see how much you change your style, hobbies, interest, beauty, skill, attitude. Even though you dont notice things happening and occuring in your life you will notice when you look at that picture from last year and say i have grown alot. You expression of everything says it all. Sometimes a family member might die and you want to always look back and say you remember spending christmas with that person. You will always have lasting memories by you having those pictures. Also, when you get older you can compare the picture of you at their age and see how much you look alike or different. Every genderation changes people change their style so your children will look at you in those pictures and say maybe you dont have no style or the way my hair was even the music we listen to. You got to keep up with alot of things. Right now its a Hip hop world for me at least. Now we listen to soulja boy and lil wayne. In years from now who know we would probably all be listening to country music and say that their parents are some ghetto people who was raised around that Hip-hop rap stuff.

Write about your favorite and least favorite teachers. Why do you like them or dislike them? What can they do to be better teachers in your eyes?
One of my favorite teacher is Mr.Enriquez he is the coolest guy i know in my 3 years being here at American Senor high School. I could tell him things about my personal life and he wont say nothing as long as it is not something that someone is put in danger then he is suppose to tell someone, Mr. Fike, another cool person but she isn't my favorite just yet because i haven't got know her, I don't have that many problems in life that need to be touched by someone or heard. But she has helped my friend who was being abused by her mother so i thank her for that because i don't want to last see my friend at a funeral, o no no no no no. I got that girl out of that. Well anyways back to my favorite teachers, I would consider you, Mr. Martinez, one of my favorite this year because this class is fun we always got something to do. Sometimes we get a little carried away but still we get everything done. The class is never a boring class, we might yawn but we really don't mean it- its just a sign of waking up. Through out this year we learned quiet allot for it being only the first quarter at least. My reading habits has arose. My vocabulary is much greater. By us writing these blogs everyday has also improve my spend in doing things. The way my speech is now its unexplainable how i made it this far without knowing things thinking you know everything( a little brain teaser, i made you think ).
Another favorite teacher of mine is Mr.Mendez, he inspired me that i can do my work. Even though everyday through out the year those student would walk in talking and carrying on their own little conversation. I would ask questions do all the work and be the first one done with my math classwork. I would always do my homework in class. But the one thing i hated from that class, everyone would be talking when he was giving notes but then they would turn to me and say Cynthia can i copy then it just became a habit for them. By the time the fcat scores came the only people in the whole class failed except 3 students, me, Sunny, and some other kid their i don't even remember but everybody in the class would copy off of us because we would be the first persons done and if we had questions on something we would ask so we would get extra points for trying and participating when the rest of the class received F's. The class was so serious about getting their wok done that some boy actually payed me for doing his work and he would bring me chips. Honestly, he did pay me he gave me 10 dollars that day because he didn't have change.

Write about your best friends. Who are they? Why do you like them? What do you do together for fun?
One of my best friend is my boyfriend, Jonathon, I could tell him anything without him judging me. But when i talk bad to my mother he tells me that i need to respect her more. He watches my back for everything. Everytime i need something he is always their for me. He takes me out everywhere, when we go to parties, the mall, the movies, the restuarant, the store. Since my dad is not always around when my mom and my sister argue he picks me up so i could go to his house and study or do homework or just talk about what is stressing me at the time. He gives me good advice. We have a special bond. We fight sometimes but i think its because we are to much alike in a way. Like the music we listen to we both like the same music but at the time when their is a hip-hop song i want to listen to he wants to listen to one of his rock songs, not for nothing i like rock but i want to listen to the other song because i hardliy hear it and plenty of times we heard the other one so its like we argue for petty stuff like that.
My other best friend would be my dad. He is my role model. I look up to him allot. But one thing that is bad about him is his attitude and his temper. I understand his disabilities but he really needs to chill out with all the yelling. Some people communicate differently, in this case he does it by screaming. Sometime he hurts my feeling because he never lets me finish what i have to say and i know he means well for me but its just that he needs to learn that I'm not a little girl anymore and their is other ways to say things. Well my dad is only a phone call away. Whenever I'm in danger or emotionally sad i call him in some cases because i don't like talking to anyone when I'm crying or something. But the fact that my dad didn't leave me thinking my dad would be their for my i am glad in every way.

Write about a time when you were brave. Describe the situation, do you believe that the experience made you a stronger person?
One of the times when i was brave was when i resued my baby cousin from drowning. It was a hot summer day about 8 years into mym life my baby cousin was about 5 years of age. My cousin Chauntel was talkingn by the pool to a little boy from the complex who sheh had seen before at gathering at the pool. So she was talking to the little boy on the other end where i wasn't aware that she hadn't learned how to swim. Chauntel and theh boy were talking about treats they can do in the pool.
The first question he had asked her was if she could swim in the deep part of theh pool. Chauntel replied with a no. He keep on forcing her to jump in the deep part of the pool. Then, threatening to push her to the deep of the pool. She stepped back to tun to see an adult for help and before you know it she was drowningin the pool. I turned to see what was all the comotion about when i realised that it was my cousin in the pool splashing and gasping for some air. I just learned how to swim that month. I looked round for anyone but turned to nobody i screamed help and swam to her resue. An adult ran to the edge of the pool to help her pull up out of the water as i swam to the wall to put her on the ground to catch some air.
When i ran home to tell my god mother what had happened to her daughter.She told me she should have gone into the gate of the inside of the pool area. Then she grounded her for letting a boy push her. Then the little boy got in trouble for pushing her. I felt so bad that nobody even had time to say thank you. But in good deed i did what i had to do for my cousin.

Write about a time when you were dishonest. Describe the situation, do you regret being dishonest?
Let me start of by saying that i didnt mean to be this way but its just something that i cant tell the truth about. I once told my dad that i had good grades on my report card. I was actually going through depression issues because my sisters boy friend lied to the police and started to go against my dad. So the police arrested him for what ever the case was but to the judges decision he was falsely arrested. Well we had restriction against my dad and my dad had wrote me a letter and he asked me if my grades were still up and i lied to him and told him that i had A's and B's on the whole report card. Then when i finally got to see him he asked me for the report card so that he can give me money so i can buy something that i desired to buy for being such a wonderful daughter. As i hesitated to go get it i simply replied that i lied to him about the grades and i got an F on one of mid terms because i didn't study but really i was depress at the fact of how my mom and my sister will treat me once my dad moves out the house and when he was gone who would i turn to next. I then turned to my god mother and uncle and aunt for help. But it wasnt the same without my dad but now i just have to live with it. I learned to do my homework and start to study more if i wanted to make good money and go to college.So now when my dad ask me how my grade are i tell him the truth because the more honest i am with someone the more they trust me.

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Heroes may seem old-fashioned today. Many people are cynical and seem to enjoy discrediting role models more than creating new ones or cherishing those they already have. Some people, moreover, object to the very idea of heroes, arguing that we should not exalt individuals who, after all, are only flesh and blood, just like the rest of us. But we desperately need heroes—to teach us, to captivate us through their words and deeds, to inspire us to greatness.
Adapted from Psychology Today, "How To Be Great! What Does It Take To Be A Hero?"
Assignment:
Is there a value in celebrating certain individuals as heroes? Plan and write a blog in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
If you can make the argument with me i believe that their is a value in celebrating certain individuals as heroes for instants look around your surroundings and you will find plenty. For instance look at 9 11 for a number of people survived because people were trapped and the ones that they could save they saved. Those people are considered heroes. Its just a matter of timing and patients you have. Because when your in a situation where another person needs help and you are their at the time your going to be their and help them unless your a cold blooded person and walks away from things. But most people aren't like that until you may have did something wrong to them in the past and they was you to suffer. My aunt was in the one of the buildings of the twin towers and if it wasn't for those fire fighters to calm people down people would have died of heart attacks and anxiety. It was horrible. When we called her she didn't want to talk to anyone. She didn't call no one until like the 3 months later after the incident happened. I just thank god for the career in fire fighter that most are many heroes to people in the state or community. It makes people feel good when they save a life of another individual.

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the prompt below.
People are happy only when they have their minds fixed on some goal other than their own happiness. Happiness comes when people focus instead on the happiness of others, on the improvement of humanity, on some course of action that is followed not as a means to anything else but as an end in itself. Aiming at something other than their own happiness, they find happiness along the way. The only way to be happy is to pursue some goal external to your own happiness.
Are people more likely to be happy if they focus on goals other than their own happiness? Plan and write a blog in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
I think that people are more likely to be happy if they focus on goals other than their own happiness for the fact that if you focus in accomplishing your goals you will get far. Easily because you start coming up to your plan little by little and before you know it your dream of a life time is in front of your eyes. In order to forfill you dream you have to have a positive attitude toward what you want in life. If you dont want no problem excuse my language but send the you know where. Then you cant let nothing get in your way like family issues and personal issues get in your way because then you wont be happy you will let go everything you live for and everything you have and you loose it all.
Like me i want to be alot of things in life but i want to make a diiference in the world i want to be a part time dancer for any sport. I want to be a police officer for teenage violence or a probation officer either one. I also want to own a couple of businesses and stations and i want to go to school to be a pediatrition . Which out happiness i cant go no where. My attitude toward something i use to love may fail. Like right now i dont have the same happiness about going to do all these things which my parents being split up. I feel bad mostly because i dont have a father figure around to help me with what i need and help me understand life. Me and my mother dont have the same connection me and my father have. My dad tell me how to keep my mind on the right track so that i can move away from all the negative things. He always got my back when i need something for my career. For example i wanted to dance i had fun dancing my to years but now its time for a money break i know he want me to explore and find new things and hobbies so i can stay successful in life.
People are happy only when they have their minds fixed on some goal other than their own happiness. Happiness comes when people focus instead on the happiness of others, on the improvement of humanity, on some course of action that is followed not as a means to anything else but as an end in itself. Aiming at something other than their own happiness, they find happiness along the way. The only way to be happy is to pursue some goal external to your own happiness.
Are people more likely to be happy if they focus on goals other than their own happiness? Plan and write a blog in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
I think that people are more likely to be happy if they focus on goals other than their own happiness for the fact that if you focus in accomplishing your goals you will get far. Easily because you start coming up to your plan little by little and before you know it your dream of a life time is in front of your eyes. In order to forfill you dream you have to have a positive attitude toward what you want in life. If you dont want no problem excuse my language but send the you know where.

Describe the last vacation or holiday you took. what made it special? How long ago did it occur? Does having a fun necessarily have to involve a certain place or certain people? Hypothetically speaking, which would you rather take, a three day holiday spent at home, but with your favorite people to spend with your favorite people in the world, or three days anywhere you choose in the world (all expenses paid), but with no one you really know well.
The Last vacation I took was when i went to my little cousin, Valencia's track meet. It was special because i wanted to go and support her for everything that she does because she was competing with 10 years and she is currently 6 years of age.This happened during the summer. Well in order to have fun you have to be motivated and pumped to do fun things and to have a great time. In that case i had fun because my aunt, Gladys, was their, my god mother, Marcy, My other cousins, Chauntel and Trinity, My cousins cousin black ,we call her, and little Gerald and then comes Big Garold. On the other hand we were not so happy about Big Gerald's girl being their which is Val's father's girlfriend Nikki and her mom(I don't know her name).
We were up in Orlando. It only was a three day vacation. From Friday to Monday. To my perception i rather stay at home with the people that make me happy. The fact that i wont want to be somewhere where i don't know anybody in particular. It would be rather boring. I would have no where to go. No one to hang out with. No one to make me laugh and smile. So no i wont go no where where i don't know anyone.

What is your favorite form of creative expression? If I were to ask you to pick one art that you could best express yourself through, which would it be? Of all the arts, which do you enjoy the most to view or listen to and which do you enjoy most to participate in. Are they the same?
My favorite form of creative expression would mostly definite be dancing. I listen to lots and lots of music because i am a dancer, with out no rhyme their isn't going to be nothing interesting in my form of expression.I enjoy teaching and learning new moves ever so often. These things half of the time when i dance i never have the negative in my mind i always concentrate. It helps me take my mind off of things. I appreciate my teacher Susie Gracia for being their for me. I really miss her. I cant go to dance school no more because my dad cant afford it no more. I still remain dancing but for Ms.T now but i am not all that confrontable with her because the streaches arent really exercise or how ever you want to state it. I like a little push. Ms. Garcia made us streach so we can learn and be fit so that we dont pull a muscle or get hurt.

If you could go back in time and fix three mistakes, what would they be? What would you do differently? Do you believe that fixing these mistakes would change your life today? Describe how. Do you think you would make these mistakes again later on in life?
One mistake i would go fix would be paying attention to my family. I wish i had listened to my aunt, sister, and god mother about choosing the right person to be with. My ex boyfriend as you know from my privies blog, he cheated on me. The result was that i got my feelings hurt. I should have just listened to my family that he was just up to no good. He never came to visit me but when he did he would only come for a hour or so. One time i had found out that he was at the movies with another girl but no he flipped the script on me and said that he was at the movies with his friends. If i would have stayed single this would of never happened.It will have changed my life today because now i am over protected and cautious about my current boy friend.This could be a problem later in life it all just depends on the guy i am with.
Another mistake i have made in the past was that i didn't pay attention in school.It would be differently because i would be more intelligent i am but i just don't do good in my studies.this would change my life because i would have a higher grade point average.I don't think i will make this mistake later on in life i faced hard studies and work.Last but not least i would not have to feel bad about people. People never feel bad about m,e so why should i feel bad about people. I don't care if people think bad of me. I could care less.This would probably not change my life today because i would be emotionally stronger.This is a problem for me later on in life because i would not have any friends.

Think about the person you were 5 years ago. Do you believe that you are the same now as you were back then? Do the same things interest you? Do you have the same friends? Do you believe that you will be as you are 5 years from now? Do you think the same things will be important to you? What do you expect to have accomplished by then?
Due to the things i use to be yes i was immature and stupid. I believe i have changed in many ways. Such as i use to smoke because i was hanging around the wrong people and was influenced the wrong ways. And i have changed because i realize that i don't want to be one of those crack heads on the side of McDonald's asking for a quarter every time a car goes my way. I want to be the person who is on the other side of that same McDonald in my brand new Mercedes Benz saying to my kids hey ya want some ice cream. I also was not interested in doing homework now i see doing homework will make your grades go up and will educate you at the same.
In my case yes dancing will always be my hobby and my interested. I will never let nothing get in the way of my dancing. Unless i get into an accident that's the only way i will probably give that up. I always had dreams of becoming someone big and that soon will happen if i do a few music videos with Flo rida. You know the one that sings GET LOW and BIRTHDAY. In a way i have the same so called friends. Why do i say so called ? I say so called because they all talk smack behind your back but when you have money or a future or a goal the want to take that away from you like its a token of their friendship. Yea right the don't deserve anything for all the things they cant to tell you in your face but then again they can tell everybody you chill with.I don't think i will be the same person 5 years from now because i will be more wiser and i will be a more civilized person. Of course getting a high school diploma everyone is not capable of getting because they are lazy.Then going on to college not everyone is ready for then when they want to its to late because they are getting old.I would be a pediatrician and part time dancer for the heat or something.

Think about the way people look at you for a moment. List 10 qualities that you believe people perceive in you. Describe in a sentence why you think this is so. Are you happy with the way people think about you?
I believe that some people think I'm smart. Well at least in some cases. Lol I'm not all that but i have to challenge myself to do different things. In a sense I'm smart because i get decent grade and i have a very good sense of direction. Another thing people might look at me is a good dancer. Dancing is my passion. I can honestly learn anything you teach me but if it looks stupid i wont learn it. I don't want to look like a fool out their in the crowd. Thirdly, some people think I'm funny. When I'm at home my thing is to make people laugh but i don't rank on people i just make up jokes.Some people think I'm annoying and they just curse me out.Like my sister she always wants me to shut up because i talk to much. Some people think I'm crazy. They think I'm crazy because i laugh allot.Some people think I'm ghetto. People think ghetto just because they see a Puerto Rico and Caribbean girl with a little spice and flavor.Others think I'm organized for the fact that i always have my room clean. My room can not be dirty i hate that i cant think right when anything around me is dirty. People think I'm beautiful such as boy friend, my dance instructor, Susie Garcia, my daddy. Somenee people think I'm a b***h, they want to mess with my family they going to have to go through me blood is thicker than water.

Describe your opinion on satire in society. Do you feel that it is appropriate to make fun of political and moral leaders? Should this type of writing and entertainment be censored? Should we not allow entertainers, comedians and writers to make fun of our leaders? Explain your answer.
My opinion on satire in society is when it makes you think about change. It is usually comic, it will make you laugh. Satire always has a target to it. The point of satire is make fun of a situation but not strickly to get you thinking about change. To my perception, i think its just a matter of how you look at things. You can either take it seriously or you can take it another way as in a way of life. Some people think its not nice to talk or make fun of the past but things happen its the past. The joke just cant get in to the point where you get arrested for pretending to go bomb a building or something. Lol now thats stupid.
I feel its ok to make fun of political and moral leaders because its life everyone gets picked on. Just because they are in high power doesnt mean that we got to shut our mouths because they can send the police to my house and arrest me. If i was just talking about the truth its ok because we are only making matters different.Yes, its a way people and writers express themselves. We all look at things differently.No because they have to make their money too. This way if nothing ever happens we cant make fun of nothing only but the truth and the past.

Read and interpret the following quote by Benjamin Franklin. Describe what you think it means. Do you agree with it, why or why not. Share any experiences that may help you describe your view.
“Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing”
-Benjamin Franklin
(1706-1790)
I believe that the quote by Benjamin Franklin means you should not choose a friend so easily because you never know who are the back stabbers or who will be your ride or die chick. Some people might call you their friend but deep down inside they don't mean it. A friend is someone who doesn't talk behind your back someone who is their for you through thick and thin. Someone who got your back for anything even if your wrong. The slower in changing part of the quote probably means change will come upon slower. For instance, most people change their attitude around others. If you don't have that someone that changes you you wont have that problem.
I did have an experience with someone but i just didn't call her my friend i called her my best friend. Her name is Bianca. We would hang out everyday but all of a sudden she started hanging around this gay girl named Ely that goes to Carol city high. Then she started talking to her ex boyfriend again. Her ex boyfriend didn't like me so he lied to her and said that he heard from one of my guy friends that i said that she became gay. So of course typical her she believed him. Bianca got mad at me for a while. The girl Ely started to talk bad about me calling me names such as I'm soft and ima this and a that but you know what. She was the soft one writing to me on myspace when she knows where i live. Well anyways we are now aquatints no longer friends.

List ten things that you feel you could change in your life to become a better and more efficient person. Describe in a sentence why you chose each one. Think about ten things about you that you could change that would help you achieve your goals.
First of all, I can influence others to do the right thing. I can benefit off of this because i will feel better about how people respect me and themselves. For instance, an incident happened last night and my current boyfriend got arrested. He didn't do anything wrong at that moment but they had a warrant for his arrest for grand theft auto. I should have told him not to leave from my house and this situation would have been handled a different way. Secondly, I can learn to put myself before others. I think about satisfying others before i satisfy myself. I can also become a healthier person . I can eat things that has less fat. I can read more books to enhance my Reading skills because i don't personally think that i having the greatest vocabulary. I wish i had a vocabulary like you, Mr. Martinez. I can also get a job so that way i don't ever have to argue with my mother. I can think about what I'm going to do in the future so i can become successful in life. I would have to worry about supporting my mom. Also, i can get a job so i can possibly move away these problems I'm going through at home with my family. How my mom is takes everything out on me and how my sister tries to get me into trouble, that's how she gets her fun out of things. I can also have faith in myself so i can have a life of my own as soon i turn 18. So i wont have to run away again.Sigh, i just want to reach all my goals in life. This can also relate to the type of religion my mother is in. Which i cant stand that religion i think its all crap. Another way i can better my life is that i can focus on what i want to do think about plans for next few years. I know i want to keep dancing, maybe become a Probation officer or maybe even become a police. I also want to relocate myself. I don't want to live in this area. The area where i live isn't all that bad but its just i don't want to move next to family. I want to try to avoid as much people possible so that i can try to prevent problems. My social life can also effect me so i can keep track on what I'm going to do. Somewhat organize my life. On the contrary, i can put everything in a journal and i can put everything i have to do on schedule.

As we approach the halfway point in the first 9 weeks, which do you feel is the most demanding of all your classes? Are you finding it difficult to find your footing in school this year? Are you working particularly hard in any one area? How do you feel about the pace of this class so far? Is it meeting your expectations? Do you find it difficult?
To my point of view, My most demanding of all classes would be 1st period. My 1 st period is American History, Mr. Goddard. This reason being is that i have to remember a lot of important events and Dates. Then, i have to point out the dates that occurred and put then in order by years. In the book it states everything in its order meaning the subject is in its order but dates change naturally . In otherwords, everything is out of its order.
Due to gradeing in the class if you dont have the same answer or a little similar to the answer that he has the answer will be wrong in his point of view. Which i put things in smaller sentences and may not sound the way he wants it. History is the importance of our past. So you need to take this subject seriously. In that case i do take it seriously but i just can really remember all those dates and vocabulary. Maybe the outcome of this i will learn to study more so i can better understand for rememberance for this class.

Describe in detail your biggest fear. Do you believe it is something that you can overcome? If so, can you do do by yourself or do you need help? When do you believe that you first acquired this fear? Do you believe that it is a rational or irrational fear? Do you think that it is a common fear or is it something particular to you? Do you parents know about it?
My biggest fear would be being shot. I have had plenty of dreams where I've been shot. I really couldn't say this belief would overcome but to my perception it may be something i have to be prevent in future sense. The offal thought of being shot is a very tragic moment for love ones and friends. One thing i can start by doing the right things hang around the right people and stay out of trouble. To out come this fear i may need some practice maybe its a warning toward my character, my attitude.This fear i shall say is rational meaning many other people might have this same fear i have. Yes, my parents know about it because i have told them before about the dreams i had when i got shot (in my dream of course)
Despite the fact that i hate guns. I would not like nobody pulling out a gun on me. I would not do anything wrong to someone else if i wouldn't like to be be treated like in the way they handled business. Being pointed with a gun crossing the street is a scary thing. Honestly , in the dream i was crossing the street with some little kids. So what i am trying to say is i don't want to get shot.

The offal thought of being shot is a very tragic moment for love ones and friends. One thing i can start by doing the right things hang around the right people and stay out of trouble. To out come this fear i may need some practice maybe its a warning toward my character, my attitude.This fear i shall say is rational meaning many other people might have this same fear i have. Yes, my parents know about it because i have told them before about the dreams i had when i got shot (in my dream of course)
Despite the fact that i hate guns. I would not like nobody pulling out a gun on me. I would not do anything wrong to someone else if i wouldn't like to be be treated like in the way they handled business. Being pointed with a gun crossing the street is a scary thing. Honestly , in the dream i was crossing the street with some little kids. So what i am trying to say is i don't want to get shot.

What do you believe is the most important right you have as an American? If you had to choose one right as being the most important to YOU, which would it be? Why is this the case? What would things be like if this right didn't exist?
What i believe is most important right that i have in American would be The ability to learn and have the right of freedom. If i didn't have the ability to learn i wouldn't be able to get a decent job and or be able to learn basic skills for instance learning how to cook something, learning in general what to eat and what to not eat. Another reason would be medicine. How would u know what medicine to drink and what day to drink it on. This would be a difficult task of course if i didn't have the education that i do now.
Another reason i would believe is that i wouldn't have a decent job. Some country's in the world don't even allow minority to have jobs. the would work for hard labor and get paid like two dollars an hour. Honestly, i be a low income student financially. so would my mother and father put it this way my whole family because their would be some many problems in the world if we didn't have technology that we have today. So what i am trying to say is that u should go to school and get an education so that way you have better chances of being successful.

What do you feel is the most important thing in life? What makes life meaningful? Does living a meaningful life necessarily mean being financially successful? Does not having a lot of money make you a failure as a person?
I feel that education, being wealthy, and trying to deal with everything that surrounds you in the best way that you can. Education because you cant get a well paying job if you don't have a good education. Being wealthy for the fact that you need money in order to survive. Dealing with everything that surrounds you because you need to. if you cant then your going to have allot if trouble dealing with people that hate you or just want to aggravate you. All people want to do is make your life miserable. Its part of society. You have to live around this for a life time.
Of course living life being financially successful is basically paying your bills on time or earlier that needed. If your not successful then how are you going to live? Is the question you need to ask yourself. You cant live in a home with out having a kitchen then you will actually be spending way more money eating out then cooking on your own. Another reason is because you cant live in a nasty environment that can cause sicknesses and diseases. In fact, many areas that are low income they tend to spend more money washing cloths to times a week . Rather than washing cloths once a week in your house. This way you don't waste gas and you don't wast time doing all the necessary things. Not having money does not make you a failure is just means you have to work a little harder than what you receive. Its just not enough. In order to succeed you have to try.

Pretend that your parents informed you that you would be moving to live in Japan at the end of the month. What are some difficulties that may arise. How difficult would it be for you to live there and why? Do you believe that those difficulties would be eased with time, if so how? Now compare your thoughts on this scenario with some of the difficulties you imagine people immigrating to this country come across. Are the problems similar to those you would encounter if you were told you were moving to Japan?
One of the difficulities i would personal face is communtication with others. I woundn't be able to ask questions or answer people questions. It would be so hard to understand what was happening. God forbid, their was something bad going to happen and people were trying to tell me i wouldn't understand what they were trying to tell me. Some people would look at me as if i was stupid or something. I would be embarrassed most of the time because everyone would be laughing at me. They would also be talking about me, bad or good, i still would not be able to figure out anyhting. People would be talking about my race or what not. They will pick on me and say things maybe about my skin color. But no matter what i know where i came from and one day the same thing will happen to them they might be kicked out of where they live so they had to move out. Apart from where they would move there would be plenty of different people living in that area that will start picking on him or her.
I,Cynthia Saldana will face the fact that i live some place new and i will have to learn new skills and make new friends every where i go. This will be a great experience for me. So that way my parents can also realise that they don't like it their either and we can move back down to Miami in one peace. If they decide not to move back down here i can also have a knowledge of learning how to build things so that when i come back down to my home town i will show all my friends so that maybe they will find it interesting enough and might want to come up their with me.
These problems are similar to people that move. Mosat people get picked on for the following reasons, their color, hair style, cloths style , where their from , who they are. So i wouldnt be surprised if i was goingt to get picked on.

Who are the three most important people in your life? Why are they so important? Do you believe that you are as important to them as they are to you?
My niece, Kaylani, is one of the most important people in my life. She is so precious. The reason for her being important is because she is my family. She is my pride and joy. She brings laughter to my life. She is the one who makes me laugh when i get home from school. She is the one takes my mind off of things when i get home. She makes me want to enjoy the time we spend together.
On the other hand, My Dad, he is always their for me. Every time i need something he is always their for me throughout everything he was always their. Even after he came out of jail he came straight to the house to find out if we were okay and if we need something. No matter what he will always be my father. Through thick and thin. Even when i don't ask for anything he still gives me some money just in chase i want to buy something or an emergency.
Another person who is most important to me is my Sister,Angelica, she is one of a kind. She is smart, pretty,young, and challenging to work with she always helps me when her hands are not tied down with the baby. I can always look up to her if need anything because even though she has a baby she had a baby she never dropped out of school and always stayed to her words. She can be hard headed sometimes but i can work with that. We also get along because we both look alike, we fit in the same cloths, and we practically have the same shoe size.
