"Get rich fast" schemes do work. One reason schemes work is because some people are great at their job. Another reason they work is because people are willing to spend money on what they want.

Portfolio - My Educational Experiences

Due to my educational experiences, I am currently a average student. When I was younger I had bad grades. For example, I had mostly F's. Now that I'm older I know what is required in order to attend a university or a college. I already know adult school is another requirement, because of the grade back in freshman year. I won't need summer school, but I will barely pass biology. I passed the English CAHSEE which is a big accomplishment. Thought I wouldn't pass, but still was close to failing. I need more studying to pass the math CAHSEE, so next year I need tutoring in math. I raised my History grade last week from a D+ to a B.  As I prepare for the rest of high school, I will continue to work hard without assistance.

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Obstacle

The biggest obstacle for me in highschool is critism from student altheletes in sports. When I was on the basketball team, I had a hard time getting along with the teammates because of them criticising me everyday whether I missed a shot or lay-up at practice. It's stupid how some people think practice is a championship. But there are some players that take basketball seriously, there are more than just one player that does the similar things on any team you go to, understanding that made me want to stay at San Pasqual Academy. It really had an impact on what I am today, always making shots and always making easy lay-ups. The obstacle not only changed me, but made me learn how to deal with stress. Anytime I step on the court to play some pick-up games, I'm always focused even if you have a guy yelling in your face as you make shots. You can elbow me, foul me. If I'm winning, it's a done deal.

Should video games be used in school curriculum? Video games should be used in school curriculum because some students will get a better understanding to learn such as movement learners, visual learners, and people who have impaired hearing will have a better chance at reading the material within the video game. History would be a great video game learning experience, and it will also have subtitles. Math would be kind of hard to create because it's mostly used in computer games. I realize school curriculum's use math games and reading games. I'm sure that history games will be the best of all categories.

Should the fast food industry be allowed to target kids with unhealthy meal choices? Yes, because when you look at foods that are too expensive and your really poor.

SPA Policy Blog Paragraph

One policy that I wish could be changed is the on campus school, I would like the school having 3,000 students. I'd rather go to an off campus school., there would be more friends and more competition in sports.  Our school has 120-150 kids, that is like a preschool. There's a handpick of kids at San Pasqual Academy that play basketball. By having 3000 student's, it would be new challenges everyday. In college, I'm going to have the privilege. Until then, it sucks having to play the same people every single day. It would definitely be a challenge to play new people, it will get me better as a teammate.

A Picture of a Nike Sweatshop

Yes, because why else would they be sweaty. But that's not the issue, people are being treated like nobody's. If I was working I'm not going to deal with my boss yelling in my face all day 10 hours a week getting paid $4.50. There is a problem if your only getting paid $4.50 an hour. Do the math and your actually getting about $60.50 a week. What can you do with $60.50? Buying dollar meals at McDonald's is the only option, now you have to worry about physical health problems. You wouldn't have time for exercise, and being tired to even go to work will be the major problem. If I worked at a sweatshop, I would save my money and steal food.

My career goal is to become a video game concept artist. I will go to college and study, and eventually become one. But this isn't my only goal, having several choices. I won't name it all, being a concept artist is one of them. Since I'm gifted in drawing, and anything I see can be copied. It's weird how having two gifts, like basketball, and drawing. I'd rather play basketball, wanting to play college and see if that gets any further. I have a back-up talent, drawing. The average salary for a video game artist, levels of experience is $65,107. That's above average, it's not the greatest. I want to be able to excel in my hobbies, by doing them everyday. It's how I'm going to get there, to play college basketball; and be a concept artist is my goal.

Yes, phones should be allowed in schools because it keeps in touch with family and friends. But the misuse of cell phones should not be tolerated during school hours. Because of decreasing work ethic, student's tend to have the habit to text rather than doing classwork assignments. That's bad, the student wouldn't be learning anything. If I were a teacher and I had the power to take away student's cell phones for the rest of the day I would. Because it distracts kids from learning required material to proceed to the next grade. Taking away cell phones will increases good working habits.

Hitler's War Strageties

By not invading Malta, it was heavily  bombed but it was never invaded. If it was invaded instead of Crete, the supply problems in the Africa Korps were plagued with would have been a lesson. With that the case, Rommell and the Italians would have made it to the Suez Canal. The long term outcome would not have changed.

What kind of weapon's were used?

Poisonous gas was used in World War II even though it wasn't allowed. Which is another reason why mostly every country wanted to eliminate Germany. Hitler used "blitzkrieg" tactics, which is German for "lightning warfare" this involved a quick strike behind enemy lines with paratroopers and tanks, planes would also bomb vital points such as command centers and the infantry would just mop up.

This worked extremely well, because France was expecting trench warfare. they had dug a massive trench with impenetrable bulwarks and turrets and such called the Maginot line", but this was all useless because Hitlers troops were simply dropped behind the lines by plane, and the tanks simple rode over most trenches.

Offensive thinking was used and had been vogue ever since the 1870's, despite the more recent experiences of the Second Boer War (1904-05), where the machine gun demonstrated its defensive capabilities.

Yes, student's should know the required material in order to reach the next level of education. Which is basic fundamental's of math and science. A foreign language class is also required, it all makes sense. But why have a test that some student's may not have the ability to pass? That itself, doesn't make sense. Most student's now worry about failing the exam, student's give up and take the GED. Me personally don't even know that I passed, I hope so. Anyways, learning material from middle school, high school, would help you take along knowledge as you complete the test. I felt I was getting smarter taking the test, pass the test!

To curtain extent, yes. Parents that abuse their children should be held responsible for everything they do to their children. But it's the parents fault for whatever they do to their child like abuse. Teaching kids right from wrong without hurting the child is a very difficult task to handle. Is there any other way to stop children's actions other than abusing them. Time-outs have no effect to a kid besides yelling at them, sitting down on a table speaking to them doesn't do much either.In my opinion children should be abused but not to the point to where they cannot stand up or badly bruised. Violence does not solve it, discipline is what my grandparents showed me. So it's either being raised in a certain way to know it's normal.
