College Bound

     I was very surprised to see my grade point average because I thought that an A was 4 points no matter what and I was very wrong this school is different to any other high school and it is GREAT. I think that a 3.55 is not that bad but I want to get a 4.0 or higher so I was a little disappointed because I want to go to Harvard Medical School. I was also very excited at the same time because I am very close to my goal. I am very proud of myself for getting this far the first month of school and I still have to December to raise my Grade to a 4.0.
     I learned that the schools I want to go into the GPA is higher than a 3.0 or a 4.0 which is very hard goal I have to keep through 3 years of high school I think that Diana and Chris did this for a reality check and that 3 years go by so fast. They are top schools which means a lot of students per classes. The Hispanic rate is not that high but i do not care I am going there to study have fun but not to much fun. My first choice would be Harvard Medical School then UCSD and last but not least the University of Columbia in New York City all of these schools have a great medical field. I will do my best to get into this school by working hard in Chris's and Diana's Classroom.
     I think since we are early in the year I still have time to improve and work my hardest. I have to try to get a 4.0 the 4 years I go to high tech Media Arts. this is a really big deal and very important for me because I will be the first in my family to go to college and I am pretty excited about it but have a lot of pressure so I will have fun this year and work my hardest to try to get into Harvard medical school and thanks to Diana and Chris for making this activity really opened my eyes to how hard it is going to be getting into college. I will take the path of hard work and Fun. I am very excited to be in your team.

Touch

While I was waiting for Diana to come around I was getting nervous as I heard the reaction of my peers. As Diana moved closer to the table all I could hear was Eeeeeeeeewwwwwww and What is this. When she got to my table I had a big Knot in my throat as she reached for my hand with her cold hands and put my hand through a hard,cold plastic container.I felt I was going to have a heart attack when she pulled my hand to touch the substance.  I felt a cold solid and watery substance in my hand. The substance felt like slime gooey and slimy. My hand when it went all the way in it felt as my hand was completely under cold water with ice chunks. When my hand was out of the container the chunks of ice started melting into liquid. The substance was nasty and sticky it felt as if my hands were on sticky paper it got stickier as the ice chunks started melting.
When my hand was in there I had a memory when I went swimming in a pool when it was raining the substance was really strange. To tell you the truth as my hand were in there I thought it was frozen animal blood becausse it felt solid but as liquid at the same time. I took a chunk with me when Diana pulled my hand out it was a very squishy substace like foam ball. The temperature felt like negative 60 degrees.

Art is sound

The Wind is a flute playing in my ear the soft sound of the waves mixing with our earth is a beautiful sound. The way the waves push out into the open is like a person grinding cheese. The laughter of children is a soft joyful music in my ears. The birds swooping down are like butterflies on a nice spring day. I like when the ocean and wind mix because they make a perfect when they are together. This is the sound the ocean and the wind make together it is like a Wish-Whoosh, Splash. It is a beautiful sound the splash reminds me when I jump into a pool. The birds sound like a harmonica in my ears. The soft white foam hitting the sand makes a beautiful sound like sand paper on wood. The soft sound of the ocean breeze are like spring flowers moving in windy spring day. I love how the gentle wind make you fee like you are standing in the clouds. The birds wings flapping against the ocean breeze hearing how it struggles through the breeze is rougher is sounds like to kids fighting for a doll. The collision of the water and the soft sand is like a baby sucking a milk bottle.The sound reminds me of a cool day I went to the beach with my family and just relaxed and had fun the laughter of the children is like birds singing in the beautiful sunshine. I love the way that the soft wind makes you feel very relaxed as if you were floating in mid air. The sounds of the waves of the way I feel in the spring and summer because it is when the beach sounds are the most beautiful because of the sounds at that time the birds flying against the wind and the sounds of children playing and laughing are so sweet to my ears it make me really happy. The sound of the ocean colliding with the earth was my cousin's favorite sound before he passed away for cancer and it was his favorite place to go and relax because he was only a 11 year old kid who liked hearing the sounds of the ocean so when I hear this beautiful sounds they remind me of my cousin. So next time you go to the beach relax and pay attention to the sounds around you because it is true art.

  I don't feel really feel out of place because of my skin color I am darker than my sisters but most of my family is whiter but one of my uncles is darker than me so I don't really feel out of place anywhere. At school I never had an incident like Danny ever before but I have seen people do that to other people and i don't like it when people judge people and they don't even know it just makes me really mad. When we go to a reunion i sometimes feel weird because I am one of the darker ones of my family and I don't really mind but sometimes it makes me feel really out of place. Since we are family and they never judge me because family loves each other no matter what. I feel what Danny feels but he should not care because his family loves him the way he is.

     I think that Uno regrets hitting Danny because he knows he did wrong hitting him. He knows he did not hit Danny just because of the Manuel got hit in the face with a bat and on accident. I think Uno feels really about hitting Danny just because he has talent and it was really wrong  to do that and he probably did not mean to hit him that hard to make him get a black eye and make him get stitches he feels really sorry but I think that he is afraid to tell Danny but  once they get to know each other after summer they will be the best of friends.

    I think that Danny froze in front of the Leucadia Prep guys because he is a really shy person and he can not be as good with people he probably sees everyday and that probably hate him being at that school and being a good boy. I also think going to National City helped him become better knowing that his dad had grown up there and that Danny's dad was also a baseball player when he was young. I also think he did not make it in the Lucedia baseball team was because there was no one to cheer him on while at National City his family cheer him  on especially Sofia.

I think that today's reading was really good. I do think that Uno was upset and mad when Danny hit Uno's stepbrother Manny on accident with the baseball bat. But Uno was already mad because Danny is better then him at baseball. Uno still had no right of using violence because Danny did not do it on purpose he threw the bat on accident and felt really sorry for hitting Manny and he even apologized to Uno for the accident. In my opinion Uno had no right to hit Danny as hard as he hit him because he was jealous and angry. It does not matter what reason he had to hit him either because he was jealous or because Danny accidentally  hit Manny violence is never the answer.
