CAHSEE Reflection

The CAHSEE was easy today. There was a few questions that were tricky, but I managed to do my best. The whole room was so quiet that I actually heard myself thinking. The essay portion of the test was pretty easy, but the hard part for me was the engaging opening and that's supose to be the easy stuff. I think I'm going to past the CAHSEE because I tried so hard to remember the material for each problem.Taking the test took me so long that there was only two people emaining, JoJo and I. I'm glad that I got that done with and over.

Feelings about the CAHSEE

My feelings about the CAHSEE are saying, "This is going to be a piece of cake." I'm not worrying about it. I know if I try my best I will at least pass it with a big star. I am going to prepare myself more on the English portion of the CAHSEE because I struggle a little bit. I'm good with numbers, so the Math section is going to be like nada (nothing). I'm excited that I'm taking this test because I just want to get it done with and move on to the next big thing, My grades. This is awesome!!!!

"Ex- Basketball Player " Paragraph

Athletics are important to me because I am an athlete myself. I do think that it prepares young people for life because you need to have grades in order to play sports. For example, you need at least a 2.0 or higher to be eligable to play all sports. Additional, it can be some sort of motivation for kids to do classwork and homework in order to stay on the team. As a result athletics are important in a young persons life because it would leave the kid looking forward and work hard to be an athlete and prove that they are one.

SPA Poem

Some days are good

and some are bad.

People say be grateful

for what you have.

Some days feel like it's lost

and some feel like it's found.

People say get up

if you hit the ground.

We may be surrounded by groves.

We may be surrounded by mountains.

You can say this place looks

like the bottom of many fountains.

This place has its days,

days that you would be amazed.

This place has its days,

days that you would try to get away.

They say this is the best place

out of many places.

A place with many different faces.

Faces of many different races.

We may have our downs

and we may have our ups,

it seems like half empty cups.

We come together.

We come as one.

We come as strangers

that like to have fun.

Tonight's Basketball Game

There is a game tonight. I hope we win. This is the last game of the season and we need to go hard. I'm going to eat a lot of chocolate and drink a lot of soda. Before my fun can start, first I need to do my homework. I feel like I am the energizer bunny when I'm at games because I get so hyped up. GO DRAGONS!!!!

"Grape Sherbet" Blog post 2011

I can relate to the "Grape Sherbet" poem because I can remember my favorite dessert when I was 8 years old, it was chocolate covered poppers. They were the best. The phrase that help me imagine this poem is "Each dollop of sherbet is like salt on a melon that makes it sweeter." Imagery helps the reader to visualize the story or poem in their head and understand it clearly.
