Fourth Quarter Goals

For third quarter my goal was to get off two hour and to have a GPA higher than a 2.0. For me to achieve that goal I had to do my homework, stay focused in class, and work really really hard. I felt like giving up every once in a while but I didn’t. I got off two hour and I passed my classes with a 2.7 GPA.

For this quarter I will continue to work really hard, stay focused, and get a 3.5 GPA. It will be hard in the beginning but I believe in my self that I will be able to do it. In order to do this I must focus and not get distracted. In the end all my hard work will pay off!

Historical Approach Paragaph

Understanding history can help readers a lot while learning in school, reading a newspaper articles and so many others. For example if you want to become a geographer you must know all your facts about history. This shows that people are willing to take time and study all the things that needs to known. Now that I understand history I will pass most of with an “A” or a “B” no lower than that. I will also understand what is going on in the situation a lot better. History is not my favorite subject but I understand it a lot more than what I use too.

" What I learned in the third quarter of English 9/10

This quarter is Ms. Priester’s 9th /10th grade English class we have learned about symbolism, allegory, poetry, imagery, figurative language, primary source, and secondary source. We have also learned about the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy in 1963. We use blabberize to explain to the readers what has happened or what is going on in the story. We have group discussion to make sure that everyone in class understands what’s happening. We have started to make more graphic organizer to make our work much easier. Learning theses things have helped me out me learn things and understand things a lot better.

“American History” Experience with Discrimination


When I was 11 years old my casa took me out to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. I asked my waiter for shrimp fried rice and water and he told “you know there’s a soul food place down the street you know?” I was really upset and offended because most black people I know eat soul food and he only said it to me. He laughed as he walked away with our order. I told my casa that I didn’t appreciate what he said and I would like an apology so she asked to speak with his manager and told him the situation. The waiter didn’t say sorry so me and my casa left. It made me pretty angry because I didn’t know adults could be so harsh to kids. Later on that mouth we went back and found out that the guy was fired. We felt that justice was served.

“American History” Memorable Day Paragraph


When I was 14 I was enrolled to a P.E.T program. (Pre employment traineeship) I had to work at a preschool with kids who where like three, four, and five. When I first started working there I hated it because one of the kids threw my phone in the toilet, but later on I learned to like it. I had to work there for eight weeks Monday through Friday for four hours. I didn’t like that idea because it was during summer and I wanted to hang out with my friends. I worked most of the summer but in the end I was happy because it gave me something new to do and I got to help out little kids. I will always remember that day because when I finished the program I got a paycheck for one-hundred and ninety dollars out of two hundred!!

My Reaction to JFK’s Death

John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s death is a problem but also not a problem. He was an innocent man who became president of the United States and believed in the civil rights movement and was trying to make a change in the world we live in today. He was sitting in the back of a car during a parade and was shot in the head while sitting next to his wife. When he arrived at the hospital he was pronounced dead. His death didn’t really impact me because I was not alive during this time. The death of JFK shows that some people who believe in the right thing may get a bad consequence or just end up dead.
