End of the Year

Wow it’s finally here I thought that is would never come. What may you ask am I talking about? Well the last day of eighth grade. I know that I am going to cry because even though I have only been at Mariner for one year I have gotten to know all of my friends very well. I personally know that my eighth grade year was filled with tears and heartbreaks the loss of friends and the loss of family, but though it all myself and my closest friends Jabri, Donna, Shakeria, Alana, Colleen and many more have gotten closer. Not only have I gotten to know many students more I have also gotten to know many teachers very good as well. I have gotten to know what makes them tick and personally I some time use it against them. Now that it has come to an end and we are all moving our separate weather it is to new schools or new states. So I know that at on that day of our transition ceremony I will be in joys. Not just of sadness but of happiness.

 

I will Miss You all

Quote

My Quotes

“I believe that every person is born with talent.”

This is a quote by Maya Angelou and I chose this out of her many because many people believe that they were placed on this earth without a purpose when in fact they were not. Because every one has a purpose that they are born with weather it be to show something or to help people god gave everyone a birth talent and they should use is to best of their ability.

Why is this my favorite Poem

Phenomenal Women by Maya Angelou is my favorite poem because it tells that women don’t have to be super models for men to notice them. It says that you can still be intelligent and have people would still love to see you. And that is so true because many people are smart and have a great heart but many men don’t look at that they at that they just face at the face or bust size and that horrible. So I love this poem very much and will as long as I live.

Phenomenal Women

Phenomenal Woman  
  Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can’t see.
I say,
It’s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I’m a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
‘Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

End of The Year

End of School

Schools coming to and end

It feels like it just began

Like yesterday was the first day

And every thing was so stray.

But now we only have a week

Until we’re all gone

And the year is a streak n my memory that I will never forget.

** Semi-Formal **

Semi Formal

 

Wow was Friday so cool. Every body looked so beautiful and it was just a night that I know I will remember for the rest of my life and of course the pictures will help.

When I first got there I was stunned at how many people showed up. And all the girls had dresses in every color. Denise had a pink dress, Lydia had a blue one. I was just like a rainbow of beautiful dresses floating around the room. Even the teacher (Ms. Delcampo, Ms. C, and Mrs. Albanese) looked really pretty.

And when the music started there was no stopping us. Every one was dancing to almost every song and singing.

Well to end this I would have to say that my favorite part of this wonderful experience was when they announced semi formal king, queen, prince, and princess. The king was Brandon L. The queen was Aaliyah D. The prince Brendan M. And princess was Carly C.

LA

The most valuable part of LA this year was when I learned I make my writing more enjoyable to read. I learned this by listening to how she told us to add metaphor or similes to or writing. So that you can still make a point but the readers won’t be bored will reading it. For example we had an assignment were we had to write a letter to a local news paper telling how the mass media is hazardous for children. And I started my essay like this. “Last week 15yr olds Daniel and Timothy Lewis kidnapped 5yr old Amanda Graves from the park while her mother was on the phone. They took her to their house where they beat and tortured for two days. If it had been for their neighbor who heard her poor screams Amanda would have died. And when the boys were asked why they had committed this crime they said because they saw it on the computer.”

            Even though this was fictional just imagine if it were real. Well with the help of many things I learned in LA I made that a very great essay and got a good grade on it.

 

 

Most Memorable Moment

 

My most memorable moment it LA. Hmmm…. how and am I suppose to choose one with a crazy, outrageous teacher like Mrs. A.

Well I guess I would have to say it’s when she brought in the camera and was going around all day taking videos and picture. I am sure she got me in a few that look really crazy.

 

A lesson that made me think

 

The lesson that made me think was when we had to write essays on many things like a law. The government wanted to pass a law that said the any teens under the age of 16 had to been in the house by  9 o- clock and I felt trapped because what if our government decided to pass that law what would I do?

Person I Admire

Person I Admire

 

Many people admire super heroes like super man of wonder women. Or celebrities like Beyonce or Alicia Keys. The person I admire hasn’t been on television or won any awards, but I think she should have. The person I admire is my mother well she is not my mother but she should be.

 

The super women I admire is Katrina Morris. Katrina is my best friend Erika’s mother. She has been like my mother for about 6yrs. Ever since I’ve known her she has been there for me. When I first meant her I was like I am going to hate her, but then I got to know her and have loved her ever since. Over the years I’ve learned more about her and she has learned even more about me. Like what makes me tick or even what makes me laugh.

 

I learned things like she listen to you when you talk and really tries to understand what you’re feeling. She knows all my secrets and she never tells anyone about them even though she knows she should. And when I ask her a question she answers them to her fullest of her knowledge, because she doesn’t want us to ask the wrong person and find out the wrong things. So she tells use the actual thing then explains it to us so that we better understand it.

 

Thanks to Katrina I have learned to work up to my full potential. And also not to take life for grated live every day like it’s your last because you never know it might just be.

Powerful words

Words are a Powerful thing Recently in class we had to write a letter to thank some one who has helped you out this year. Well I decided to write it to my math and social studies teacher Ms.C. I decided to write it to her because this year she has been very influential to me.  When I first gave it to her I didn’t know what she would say so I didn’t give it to her until it was time for us to go to lunch so that I could escape any harsh comment, but before I could get away she pulled me aside and I just knew she hated it but instead she told me that it made her cry and I was like aww that’s all I could say.Then at the end of the day I was pulled aside by yet b another teacher and I was like oh man this paper is going to cause a riot. Then she told me that Ms. C had told her about the letter and how it made her cry. Then she said that she really liked my writing and that I should keep writing. So that night when I went home I took it into consideration and began writing a short story I don’t know the title yet but I’m working on it.
