Dragons' Den First Semester Week 13: Saturday

My favorite thing to do on a Saturday is hang out with my roomate Waldo. During this activity I usually hang out in his room since he is my roomate. In front of him is his TV and PS3, after basketball practice I walk to my house. When we get to my house, boys 4, we play Mortal Kombat. When one game is over we find a new on to watch. I enjoy doing this because it's funny when Waldo plays his video games, it entertains me.

Academic Language Practice Paragaph 16

Should there be more restrictions on credit card use?  Marta: Thinks that using credit cards will eventually put you in a situation, that you do not want to be in. Especially if your having to due time in jail. Jeff: There should be more restrictions on credit card use because as the time your payment is due, many are in debt. Hunter: Restrictions on credit card use should because theres so many people who are loses so much money, many do not have a job. Behind that, this is the reason we in the United States have budget cuts as of now.

“Through the Tunnel” Before You Read: Prove Yourself Paragraph

A time when I had to prove myself was when my teammates on the basketball team, and this was recent last Friday. The coach kept on building adrenaline, so we had full court suicides. The coach says "go,"and I was gone. I pretty much burned everybody on the court, but when it was the second time I didn't do very well. But at least I proved to the team that I'm fast, sometimes I get lazy. It was my time to shine when I went full speed. Honestly, I never seen myself run so quick in my life, well only when I was six or seven. I surprized most of the team including the coaches, the coaches were like "are you going to let Andrew beat you?!" That made me feel great, fun days.

“Typhoid Fever” – Before You Read: Present-Tense Childhood Memory

I am seven years old and sitting on the couch playing spider man. I see myself playing to long,  then my cousin E.J. comes over and has a smile on his face. We go outside to play on the playground, my mom is working and my dad is watching us play. E.J is one of my favorite cousins, my Auntie Elsa went out for work and we are having fun. Me and my cousin went inside my grandma's house, we had vienna sausage and rice. Me and E.J always ate this most of the time we were growing up. I mean we used to pee together, spend the night over at his really nice house. As years passed, in middle school I ran away from my grandparents house because they were not really teaching me anything. So I headed to my moms house, as I were living there we had hard times with the roommates in my mom's house. I should of told my parent's, or cops that they were doing drug deals in the house. But I didn't, that is why I'm here at San Pasqual. Making bad choices leads you to group homes or even worse. I never seen my relatives for about 3 years, and when they saw me in 2010. They thought I was a giant, it was funny but me and my cousin's connection isn't active how it used to be. It is called a broken bond, so my life learn lesson is to never hide the truth. Always tell the truth, even if it costs your life.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 13.5: Thanksgiving

Many food on this day it was incredible. No wonder this happens once a year, I love Thanksgiving. Having fun with my relatives and I love playing video games like old times playing Halo:Reach with my three favorite cousins. My cousin’s names are Elijah or I call him E.J, there’s Jesse, and Christian. Most of my relatives were there including my other cousin’s Serena and Carlo; both my auntie’s Jeanette, Elsa. My uncle’s are, Jesse, Jr, it feels great for me just being there with them.

Symbolism: Symbol of Self

I think an item would be a person, and that is a picture of my brother. If he was in a life or death situation, I would risk my life trying to help him advance to the other side of this ledge. If he were ever in this situation, I think that if anythings precious to you. Anybody, it does not matter who that person is. They will put their life at risk to save something that is precious to them. Like Waldo for example, if his Playstation 3 was falling from some cliff I would not doubt Waldo throwing himself towards his system and probably save his system rather than himself falling and hitting the ground with such impact. He is maybe that type of game addict but that's something I would do if my brother fell. I would grab him in the air, and then use myself as a cushion to embrace this impact that he will feel. But at least I saved him leaving injuries, it's better than not living at all.

JCCS Academic Language Week 14 - Interview

Andrew: No but there's this conspiracy of human clones being grown in tubes like you see in movies like Pokémon: The First Movie, which had cloning. Never Let Me Go is an upcoming sci-fi movie that contained cloning. But the clone being fully-grown and not having memories of what you know. Marta: Cloning is almost exactly like copying someone in order to be replaced. A clone would be like an identical twin, the clone can be younger than your normal self. Hunter: They can not develop into normal child, having their own memories and personalities, and from genetics , would be unreal from a normal child. The clone would probably be considered a child of the mother. Jeff: What would be scary is that it would be the child of the mom that it came out of, regardless of it's genetic origins. But that's just my opinion, it's not solid info so don't quote me on this students of San Pasqual.
