This picture Shows the dad talking to his little girl and giving her advise about life. Saying that You can't judge somebody unless you know what has happened to that person or what they've gone through. I really like this quote because its making you realize that when somebody is going through something difficult you need to picture the situation if it was happening to yourself and then you can always help out that person.

I like this quote because it's saying to keep your head up and your strong and that means that know matter what you've gone through you can still work through it and just be positive out of everything.

I like this quote because it's telling you that you were given this life because you are strong enough to live it and make the most out of it and be strong through the rough times in life and fight back. I like how this statement makes you realize that your life is your chance to make yourself stand out and be strong. this picture is very inspiring in ways to make you more appreciative about the life you were given to you for a reason. And makes you take a step back and look at the world differently.

I really like this picture because it tell you that you cant have happiness without a little pain. And the pain makes you stronger and more appreciative about the happiness once you have it. I think that this quote/statement is what reality really is.

I chose this picture because it tells you that no matter what you go through and how much you change through life or how much life changes you that you have family in the beginning and in the end when you need them the most.

I feel that the Boston Marathon was very sad and very moving to me because I felt that all of those people were trying to help other people out by paying to do the marothon were very generous and, then a couple of people decide to just take more then half of those peoples lives. Immediately when I heard about what happened my heart went out to all the families who lost their relative through the marathon or being a by-standerd. I couldn't stand the fact that 2 people would just do that to innocent kids,parents, and elders. After I heard about this I looked at the world as a whole different place. That you have to be careful about what you do cause nobody is exactly safe in innocent places.

The Twin Towers may be gone, but we will always remember all the heros who died for citizens that day, who gave up their own life to save others. 9/11 has moved my heart and every time i think about all the true heros it makes my eyes water up. I think its amazing and so inspirational that FireFighters would climb up those stairs, knowing that they probably would not make it our alive, but they had no dought about doing it. The day 9/11, has changed me personally, by really appreciating all the heros out there. By appreciating the citizens/ heros on flight 93 for fighting back,saving everyone in the White House. It's amazing what people do to help others.

Soccer is a sport that I play and I'm really passionate about it. Soccer speaks to me like nothing else does. It lets me get rid of all my energy and lets me focus on life problems.I've been playing soccer for almost 9 years now and I love it so much. I think that soccer is such a fun sport to play and it just motivates me in life, by telling myself to pick myself up when i make a mistake or anything else.

This picture shows Scout talking to Arthur Radley from the book '' To kill a Mocking Bird''
All the characters thinks that Boo Radley is a bad man in the beginning of the book but as the book goes on, towards the end the characters and I realize that Boo Radley is a man who can be creepy at times but he is very protective when he needs to be. I chose this picture because it represents that no matter what you really don't know a person until you know them. This picture is very positive if you really look at it. Scout (a young girl) is trusting a man who everyone thinks is un-trustworthy, is helping him and thanking him for what he did. Even though some people still think that he is not reliable.

Recently I just finished the book To kill a Mockingbird. My thoughts on this book are very strong. I really like this book, because i feel that this book is easy to relate to current events today. This book has changed the way I look at certain obstacles in my life. I think that the quotes in this book are very strong and passionate. As I was reading this book I really connected to the text and I just wanted to keep reading on and on and never wanted to stop. When you read along this amazing novel you learn lessons about life. For an example Atticus ( the father of the two main characters) teaches his two young children about how life will aproach you with certain problems that not everybody has to deal with. If you like books with exciting,thrilling,sad,heart-racing moments then I suggest you read this book, And you know what....even if you don't like those types of books that I just listed I still really think that you would still enjoy this book.

In this photo moves me because I feel that everyone who does have an animals it's changed them from when that animal first stepped into their lives. Animals have always been around me for my entire life. I have 1 bird, 3 dogs and 2 cats. I'm an animals lover myself. I'm very passionate about animals because they are love-able and cute. Animals have moved me because I feel that they are just always there for people and they have taken up a huge part of my life and from the fist time I ever saw an animal i've instantly fell in love with them.

The beach is such an amazing place to be at. When I'm at the beach i forget about everything thats going on in my life and just fall in love with the beach. The beach is a big part of my life. The thing a I love about the ocean is how the waves sound when they crash on shore, how the sand sticks to your skin, how the water stings your throat/nose if you swallow it on accident. I mean what isn't there to love about the ocean. The ocean to me, is another world. It's like a place for you just to be yourself and have fun. I love going to the beach, I live about 5-6 miles away from it. During summer my siblings and myself do a program called Junior Lifeguards, located at Ponto Beach. In this program, we doing multiple things, each kid gets divided into a group, depending on their age. Then each group gets 2 instructors to lead them through the 3 weeks of the program, the instructor ( who's at least 22 years old) decides what activities we do throughout the day. Sometimes we do games,relays, paddling out to the buoy, surfing and a bunch of other fun events. I love everything about this amazing program. The past 4 years I've been involved with this program i began starting to learn how to surf. This past summer as I learned how to surf, it's so amazing surfing I love it so much and so much fun.

I feel that everyone should follow this modo cause then you would probably always be happy and enjoy what you can at the right moments in life.

About 5 weeks ago I started high school at High Tech High North County. High Tech is a project based charder school. I really love it here at high tech even though it's not the typical high school experience. Before I came to High Tech High I was previos in the middle school for 8th grade. At High Tech Hight I feel that it gets you ready for college and the rest of your adult-hood. And that makes me less worried about life in the future.

This quote is from a Taylor Swift song, even though I'm not the biggest taylor swift fan I still think that her music is very well written. I really like this phrase because I feel that it can move everybody in a certain way wether it's either that somebody is in a relation ship and they take this advise or if it's metaphorically relating to a different matter. I think that this can be talking about how maybe when you come across a good situation it may be hard to earn but it is real, meaning that you can really reach your goal.

This is a great saying to live by because you don't always appreciate things that certain people make an extra effort to make it happen, but you should appreciate it because one day (like the quotes says) your ganna look back and realize that you should live the small moments as big as you can cause someday you won't be able to. This moves me because this quote makes me want to look back at my past and celebrate the smallest things.

I chose this image because I just thought this was a very cute image and its really funny. People always get caught up in their head about a lot of things and they become so dramatic about those things that they think it is the key to life but honesty you need to have oxygen over love or happiness or money.

Recently I watched the movie 42 and this movie was about Jackie Robinson who was the first african American to play Profesional baseball. This was very hard for Jackie because everybody discouraged him and wouldn't play because of his color. Anyways through out this movie one of jackie robinsons teamates came up to him right before a game and said " Maybe someday we will all wear the number 42 so nobody can tell us apart." While watching this movie when I first heard this quote I instantly wrote down in my phone.This quote stood out to me because even though his teammate was rude to him before he realized that everybody was racist to him so he wanted to be the first one to be nice to him. I really like this quote because it ended up coming true that on April 15th every year everyone wears the number 42 in honor of his major league debut. While watching this movie when I first heard this quote I instantly wrote down in my phone.

When I saw this picture I thought about how I can be the one standing out in a crowd. Which means that you can be different from others in you own unique special way. This photo speaks to me even though it's just a flower I take it in a different way. I take it as an option in the way you choose to live your life. You can either be the one who makes a difference or just another person who doesn't speak their mind and what they believe is right. I choose to be the one who makes a diference in the group and I hope that you chose so too

I myself have to sisters and everything is always very competitive I dont know why but it is. Even though we fight and don't get along all the time I still love both of them and I really do hope that we have an amazing relation ship together in the future! I know that sometimes we just cant stand each other some times in the end we still nudge each other on and on but we do it because we love each other.

Today we had a guess speaker in class, this guess speaker was from the organization Break the Silence Against Domestic Violence. Kristen the founder of this organization had previously been in a abusive relationship she was threaten many times that if she left the guy she was with, that he would kill himself. He also physically abused this poor woman by slapping,biting, and suffocating her. Kristen was very brave and strong and finally told her mother. She is still recovering 2 years out of the relationship. Even though she is still recovering Kristen is a role model to me. She showed me that I can be strong if I push myself. Even though I relized may positive things through this presentation I also need to be careful of certain people and who I should hang out with. As I was listening to her presentation many times I felt sympathy for her. And I'm so happy that she is better now then she was a couple years ago.

Lately I haven't always been applying myself 100% to whether it's a school test or if its soccer(which is my favorite sport). But when I saw this quote it opened up my eyes and I realized that everything I do now will affect me in the future. That I really need to try my hardest and apply 125%. I think that everybody can succeed at anything that they are passionate about, because if you really love something and your really then nothing can stop you and that everything you do right now will make you that much more successful and smarter in the future

Recently I have started the book Night by Elie Wiesel. This book is a true story about a young man about 15 years old who was in the Holocuast and went through consecration camps. This book is a very strong and sad, but yet an amazing book. This book is sad because as you read along you feel what Elie feels and it also seems like that you actually are living the experience that he did. This book is also very good because it's so intense and you never want to stop reading. This book is very moving because Elie never gives up even though when he looses faith he never wants to give up. I'm still reading it and as I read my eyes start to water up because I put myself in their shoes and I just can't image everything that happens. I usually recommend every book only because I just like it but this book is very strong and moving and I think that everybody should read it because If people have a problem in their personal then they read this book and realize that they have nothing compared to the book night and they can see that it can always get worst and be thankful for what they have.

This specific quote is from the song Hall of Fame by the Script. This is one of my favorite songs just because I like the actually music of it even though the words are still up beat and enjoyable. i listen to this song every morning to get my day started and I never get tired of it. I like this phrase because it talks about how no matter what you can walk wherever or how far and still keep a smile on your face . I suggest anybody who really likes music to listen to this song.

The Movie aquamarine is one of my favorite movies ever! I love this movie so much because I personally love the ocean and they spend a lot of time in the ocean and also because the movie teaches a lesson about no matter what your dream or wish is just chase it until you catch it. This Movies is about a mermaid (aquamarine) comes to land to try and prove her dad that love is real, she wants to prove this because her dad wants her to marry a merman that she can't stand. Anyways, aqua meets to friends along the way (Claire,Haley) she promises her friends that if they help her find true love then she will grant them one wish, which they really want because haley is about to move to Australia and would leave claire. As they go along a wild journey aqua meets a man and she needs him to say "I Love You" to prove her dad wrong. So my point of this movie is that Aqua chases her dreams for them to come true and I think that this movie speaks to everybody in their own way. I think this is a great movie and it is really funny too, I really think this movie falls in the category of girls between the ages of 7-18. I know thats a large age difference but it's a great movie to see.

I shared this image to everybody because I want to prove that money can sometimes change people and make them who they are today. But what really counts is that if you didn't have that money that you have now, would you still be you? I think that people get to caught up with money and think that it can buy friends,family or even themselves. Just keep in mind that money doesn't make you. It may make you on the outside with the way you dress or the house or car that you have, but it will never make your personality.

Not long ago my classmates and I have started the book Romeo and Juliet. For those of you who don't know what this book is about it is a play about a young girl about 14 and a young man about 16 fall in love but both of their family's are enemies and can't tolerate each other. But as Romeo and Juliet refuse to quiet seeing each other which only makes there love stronger, they would do anything for each other. As the book goes on I think it's really sweet because everybody tries to break up the two lovers but they won't ever leave each other.

Ellen Degeneres is a huge inspiration to me because she is so nice and giving to every single person. She helps out random people if they can't pay a bill or they dont have a home. Even though some people can't even look at her because the fact that she married a woman, Besides that she is such a great and kind person. She has her ownn talk show and she is really funny and when she interviews people she makes the funniest jokes. I wish that some day I can be as kind and generes as Ellen.

Working together in a group or team is really important because not everybody has the capability to be able to understand other peoples ideas. When you work together as a team is really intresiting because you get to see what other peoples strengths and weakness are. Even though working with difficult people can be distracting it only makes you stronger for ignoring them and to just continue with the work your doing for the project. I like working in groups because then I get to listen to and talk to others about my ideas and there different creative ideas that I would've never thought about. In the end success can always be reached with the right progress and working together.
Working together in a group or team is really important because not everybody has the capability to be able to understand other peoples ideas. When you work together as a team is really intresiting because you get to see what other peoples strengths and weakness are. Even though working with difficult people can be distracting it only makes you stronger for ignoring them and to just continue with the work your doing for the project.

Halloween is just around the corner and is defiantly one of the most exciting thrilling adventures holidays out there. Halloween is the one day when you can get free candy and dress up as what ever you want. I still don't know what to dress up as but Im just excited to get to go trick-or-treating with friends that I have known for a long time now. I think it's just so much fun to walk around a neighborhood whiling getting free candy and getting to see what other creative ideas people dressed up as.

Christmas and the New Year was just around the corner, and I'm so happy with all the presents and people I got to see! These past few weeks have been really fun and relaxing specially since there was no school. Christmas is probably one of my favorite holidays because I just like coming home to see a christmas tree and a bunch of presents around it. I also like this holiday because on the nigh of Christmas our whole family gathers around and has a big Christmas dinner. The excitement is never ending while you imagine whats under the wrapping paper, I always get my siblings and mom a present for christmas just as most of them do the same for me.

Today during class we looked at 5 different pictures.Out of those 5 images were had to pick one and answer a few questions about the image. I chose this image because it immediately drew my attention because of the red canceled sign. I think in the picture the artist is trying to say that now everybody gets the chance to follow their dreams, and that not everybody has money to be able to follow their passion or they don't ever have the opportunity to do so. I also think that this image is saying that maybe if you aren't able to follow your real dream then you can try and find something more realistic to pursue. I think this work is valuable because you can interpret in many different ways weather you agree with him or not. And also it's valuable because he's trying to say a statement so maybe something has happened to him where he wasn't able to follow his dreams. So he's kinda telling people that following your dreams isn't as magical as people think.

I chose this quote because it was the one that stood out to me the most out of all 5 of them. This stood out to me because when I instantly saw this I thought to myself that I didn’t necessarily agree nor disagree but I had a strong opinion on both sides because people who have gone are part of the society and they are what makes the society a bad place. Sometimes there are people who have guns like the police or the CSI but they protect us instead of having more danger around and keeping us safe. But there are also people in the world who grow up around guns and when they become older they think it’s okay to have guns for either protection or threats to other people. My question to the person who quoted this was why did they think this because this was an opinionated statement.

This poster you see is the poster for BlackFish. Black fish is a documentary about orcas and the way sea world treats their animals. I have seen the trailer for this movie and it's very moving and sad. The trailer shows the way they catch the orcas which is very sad. Blackfish also tells us facts about orcas which are lies. For an example, they tell us that orcas usually live up to 30-40 years but they actually live up to around 70-80. They say this because when they are in captivity thats the age when they die but in the wild they live up to 70-80. After I saw this documentary I learned that even the most funnest places and coolest places to visit may also been the worst. When I was a child I LOVED SEA WORLD but now that I know how they treat and capture them I don't like going there anymore. Now sea world isn't all bad because they do rescue animals and save them but it's still wrong what they do with the killer whales.

Recently there has been a lot of people who are talking about going to mars. I guess people are allowed to sign up to go to mars and never come back,they aren't guaranteed that they will make it there but they would supposedly live the rest of there life on mars. I think this is totally insane and mind blowing because it's just crazy how humans have so much technology that we can send people to another planet to live on. I personally wouldn't go because I am scared of space and what can go wrong but I think it would be an amazing experience for all those space lovers out there. I do think it would be interesting if they do send people up there because it would give NASA and all the companies and stuff more information if there is life on space.

A few days ago I was assigned a partner in my class for an assignment. Me and my parter had to answer the question "Who is Jamito?"d from the book In The TIme of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez. But we had to answer this question with something artistic or any other ideas. So my partner and I decided to make a painting on a canvas using water colors,pastels and paint. We answered this question by involving a image of a car with a man inside it, this represented how her left to go join the revolution and how he was a brave man. We made little letters on the canvas to represent his love for Minerva and the sweet side of him. We also included on the painting a women who was supposed to stand for Minerva and then we made a house to show that she was stuck there with her father because he wouldn't let her go with Jamito. We also included 3 butterflies near the rode to represent the 3 mirable sisters. We made half the painting all dark and gross looking with dirt and dust and then the other half all bright and nice and happy. We decided to do this to show how minerva would've been happier off with Jamito but since her father made her stay she was sad.

I agree with this quote because I feel like everyone gets paranoid by something or someone and I think that sometimes when we lease expect it we do our most quality work. I believe that you can be more creative and become inspired by the people/things that you are surrounded by. Everyone can be creative in their own unique way if they really put your heart to it. I also think this quote is inspiring because some people may try this and it can help them become more creative for whatever they are working on.

Today my classmates and I went on a field trip to a graffiti place and a museum of Art, both in San Diego. When we went to the graffiti place it was really interesting to look at all the different art pieces that are made by cans of paint. I realized while I was here that when we see graffiti on the side of the street we think, Oh cool designs. But most of the time we don't see the true meaning behind a lot of these interesting pieces. This was a really fun field trip, specially because we got to actually create graffiti as well. The area we visited was really neat because we got to spray paint and make any design we wanted to. I also realized while I was there that graffiti is a career,you have to always be on the run in case if the cops see you. Most of the graffiti artist are trying to tell the public something that we don't always recognize.

The News can be important or it can be a total waste of time, it just depends on what type of news your into. I only watch the news if my mom tells me to watch a certain story cause its interesting. I think what makes a story interesting is if it rarely happens or if it affects people all around the world. What makes a story uninteresting is if it only affects 1 or 2 people and if it occurs on a good amount of bases. I think the news is important because it gets to tell the world who's not always in the event that it occurs. It also aware us to be cautious about the weather or about certain suspicious people.

Lately I've been realizing that we wont always have this moment. We should treasure every moment that we have and always make it the best one possible. Soon us teenagers are gonna have to grow up and face reality by paying bills and waking up at 6am to go to our job. So all of us weather we are young or old we should just appreciate what we have in the moment and make it always count, cause when we look back in a few years were gonna wish we made it as much fun as we can.

Minimum Wage: I think minimum wage should be a little higher then what is because if your only making about $8 an hour thats not enough to live off of. I chose to talk about this specific topic because I think it's interesting how someone can work so hard for a full day and only get about $45 depending on how long they work, but then taxes takes some of your income so your not really getting as much as you work for. I also think that if it gets raised to much then people will complain about it even more and more and then next thing you know minimum wage is $20.

In class today we looked at 5 different picture of different places in the world. We had to pick 1 or 2 that we would want to visit and why we wanted to visit that specific place. Here are the ones I picked:
Bottom Right:
I picked the bottom right because the lights are really pretty and it seems like it would be a really cool kinda town to walk around through. I also think that this place is really unique because there are a lot of different type of lights that stand out and make the area really pretty.
Top Left:
I also really found the top left one really interesting because it looks like there is water in between like shops or so. It would be interesting to ride a boat to a place like the supermarket or so. This place looks also unique because the structure of the buildings are something you see everyday.

“You may never know what results come of you actions, but if you do nothing,there will be no result” - Mahatma Gandhi
I picked this one because I agree with it. A lot of people today think that if they do 1 thing then something positive will come out of the situation, but you have to keep working for something that you want so that you get a good result. But if you just assume something will come out of you work then you won’t get a result, cause you have to keep working and working until you accomplish your mission
