Sportsmanship!

Sportsmanship

I think its very important to help others. It shows that your a good character. The video i saw today about the Central Washington team (Soft ball team)  helping the opponent was a very touching video. Sarah was in the other team (Western Oregon) and she injured herself while running to the base, she had no choice but to drag herself back to first base. None of her teammates went to help her. So the Central Washington team Liz and Mallary, carried her to every base. Everyone was very proud of what they did. It show what good persons they really are. I think everyone could learn a little something from them. Even if you are competing against someone, they are still people, and when someone needs help you should help them.

What is sportsmanship to you? Is it just helping others who have helped you back? Sportsmanship is helping people around around you, no matter if you don’t know them or whatever the circumstances may be. It makes you feel really good about yourself when you have done something good for someone else, and that person will always be grateful towards you. Sportsmanship doesn’t come easy to everyone, it takes someone with good character and a big heart.

I always try my best to help others around me. Even if its with little things, like helping my sister do homework, or working with a classmate on a new project. I feel very proud of myself, and i know if i needed help they would be there for me too. So that’s why i want to encourage every one to help anyone around you when they need help. I assure you it will make you feeling really good inside. It’s a great thing to be able to help others, so what you waiting for!

Huntington Park High Going Charter :o

On Tuesday May 10 2011 Huntington Park students walked out of school during nutrition to walk all the way down town.About 300 students went, It was a very long walk, 7 miles long, but the students didn't care because their hearts were set on saving the school and all the teachers they have came to know. But sadly, The Los Angeles Board of Education approved their plan, and starting July 2011, all the teachers will be expected to reapply for their positions.

It was too late for HP High. the board of education made their decision without even considering what the student had to say. They ranked HP as the lowest performing high school, with only 5% of students passing math. Students are worried that next semester everything will be a mess. The Los Angeles board of Education thinks the problem will change over night with their new plan. But what they don't know is that this can take years for a school like HP. We all need to work together and make HP the school its meant to be!

Vacations!

On my vacations i went to volunteer at my little sisters elementary school for a couple of days. I didn't have much to do at home so i decided to go and help out. All the little kids there were very nice and and well behaved.  I really enjoyed helping out in the classroom because because i felt like i was doing something to better our community. I too as well went to that elementary school and it felt good going back and seeing how far i have come. I wanna be a role model for my little sister. :)

These vacations were very stressful. I had to decide what college i would go to. it was a tough choice, but at the end i decided to go to Cal State Long Beach. I really liked the school, and i'm nervous and excited to dorm the 1st year. My dream has always been to become a registered nurse and i hope that i can make it because i know this career is a difficult one, but i know that if i put my all into it i will accomplish it!

The Weekend

One of the things I did on the weekend was buy a new bird for my little sister. I bought her one because last week her bird died. She was very sad and I wanted to do something ice for. When she saw it, her eyes lit up. I bought her this pretty yellow bird, when she saw it she named her tweedy. She was very happy, and it made me feel really good about myself to see her smile. I think it’s a great feeling to be able to make someone happy.

Another thing I did on my weekend was hang out with my friends. We all decided to go to the mall and just shop, with what little money we had :} I like to spend time with them because they make me laugh and its always fun when we are all together. While we were there, we went into almost every store, and we ate too. My friends and me like to eat a lot. We ate some cookies, fires, a burger, and some Starbucks. I think eating was the best part of the day haha. We took a pretty long time in the mall but time goes fasts when you are having fun. When we finally realized how late it really was, was when we got out, it was nighttime already. It was a really fun day.

Another thing I did on my weekend that was not very fun was clean up my room.
I’m not a very messy person, but this time I had a lot of cleaning up to do. It took me like a whole hour to finish cleaning. But after I finished I felt calmer seeing that it was clutter free. I felt less stress. I am always going to clean my room every day so I wont ever let it get as bad as it did.

Mission Statements

A mission statement is a declaration of a purpose or goal in a person's life. It is a brief summary, one or two  sentences that sums up the purpose and benefits of your goal. It is important to have a mission statement so you know what to strive for in life. When you don't have a mission statement life can be a little blurry. You don't really know what what direction to go to. Everyone should have their own mission statements so they can have a purpose in life. A mission statement could not only benefit you, but others as well. A lot of people's mission statements are designed to be the benefit of others. 

Some mission statements:

Volunteer more in my community

Make our world a cleaner and better place to live in

Inspire other people with my talents 

To find happiness, fulfillment, and value in living

To server GOD

Make a difference in peoples lives

To help others discover success. 

My mission statement is to go to a 4 year college, to become a registered nurse and be able to help others :)

Wellness, Health, and Fitness

Wellness is a state of well-being. When we feel satisfied with our self’s.  Wellness is like a process of improving where you want to be. To feel good about yourself means making the right decisions. The definition of wellness falls into being mentally and physically happy. These two characteristics are very important to everyday people. People need to be happy and feel good about how they look in order to live a happy life.

Health has to be the most important thing to a person. It defines what kind of person you are, it defines how long you’ll live even. Being healthy can help you accomplish more things then an unhealthy person. As mean as that might sound, an unhealthy person may have a harder time for the fact that they have problems with their health. People choose their health by the life style they live. People can improve their health by making good chooses like exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, sleeping enough, and avoid harmful things to your body. Parents should set the example for their kids if they are unhealthy, if they see their parents making good choices they will do the same.

Fitness, now this can be a hard thing for people, but for others enjoyable. There are commercials about gyms, video games that help you loose weight, and diet plans.

Every one strives to look their best, in this world appearance seems to be everything, and I think its wrong to see it that way. If a person is healthy and feels good about themselves, then no one should judge them. People shouldn’t strive to look like anyone they should be themselves.

Wellness, health, and fitness are all very important to a person. Its what makes us happy and makes us feel good about ourselves. We shouldn’t let any one influence us on how we should look. As long as we are healthy and happy we can do anything we want. J

The Beatles

The Beatles were one of the greatest bands ever. They were an english rock band, formed in liverpool in 1960. The groups members were John lennon, Paul MaCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Star. Their music was an influence to all the bands and artist at that time, everybody waited for their cds to come out. They achieved success in the United KIngdom in 1962 with their first single, "Love me do". During their studio years, the Beatles produced some of the finest music. For decades after their breakup, the Beatles continue to be popular. they are the best selling band in history. They have had Number one albums on the UK chart, and have held down the top spot longer than any one else. They have also sold more albums in the United States than any other artist. The Beatles will never be forgotten. There music will always remember us how great of a group they were.

Interest and Hobbies

My interests would have to be shopping. If I could do that every day, I would do it. I like going to the mall and spending hours there. Even if I don’t have that much money, I at least have to walk out of the store with something. I think I annoy who ever is with me in a store, I take a long time sometimes picking out clothes. 

Another thing I enjoy doing is hearing music. I like any type of music, and if there’s a song I really like, I’ll be singing it all day. Which I think annoys people too, but then I get it stuck to them so it’s okay.  I hear my Ipod every day at night or else I can’t go to sleep.

I also enjoy spending time with my friends. Now that it’s our senior year I think it’s important we all go out. I don’t want time to go so fast because I know we are all going to go our separate ways, but I try not to think about that.  I like spending time with them because they are funny and they cheer me up when I’m down. I’m going miss them after we graduate.

I don’t know if I really have a hobby, but I like to read. Back then I wasn’t so interested in it, but then in my sophomore year one of my teachers would make us read a lot of books, and they were interesting and from there on I enjoy reading.  I mostly like reading poems, I like the meaning behind them, I could spend hours just reading them. I like reading to my sister, she always makes me read her a book each day. I feel really good about myself that I’m setting an example for her. I hope she enjoys reading when she grows up.

Muggsy Bogues

Tyrone Muggsy Bogues at only 5'3 is the shortest NBA player in the game. People think that because he is short he isn't a good player but if they saw how he plays they will be amazed. He has a very big heart and is determined to show others that he is a great player. It doesn't matters what size you are, its how you believe in yourself and how you can do anything, its whats inside that counts. Muggsy shows determination and courage, and he is an example of what you can be if you set your mind to it :)

Freedom

Freedom is a very powerful word. Our country our people, fought for this right. Freedom is a privilege to have, not every one is lucky enough to live their life the way they want to live it. When you choose the wrong you may be put in jail and all the freedom you’ll ever have will be in that little room. Life is so much beautiful when you choose the right. Don’t choose the wrong path, and don’t take freedom for granted

Sometimes freedom is gained by winning the trust of someone. For example the trust of a parent, teens want a lot of freedom these days, and they should earn it by always choosing the right. Parents need to know their kids can make the right decisions when they aren’t there. Choosing the right will bring you great things in life, it will take you far, and help you succeed. The freedom to choose your path in life can be tricky, we may stumble along the way, but nothing is good without effort.

       “Dont take freedom for granted, it can be taken away as easily as given to you”

Every one wants freedom in life, the freedom to make decisions, the freedom to work somewhere, or the freedom to take on new adventures. But freedom comes by always choosing the right. You can get all the freedom you want if you always make the right decisions. Nothing in life comes easy, but if you always make the right choice, you will see life as a piece of cake. ☺

Red-The most emotionally intense color. It is a color that evokes a powerful emotion of passion, lust, energy, blood, and war.

Quote :)

I think this quote is really important for people to know.

Sometimes people are so caught up in their lives that they forget how to be happy or whats really important. They put their their feelings aside to do what other people say is right, and life is not like that. As corny as it sounds, sometimes the best thing to do is really to follow your heart. I know its hard for some people, but you will not live your life with "What If's." People have a hard time trusting their heart, they have a fear of getting hurt, but life is worth taking risks. Life would be boring if you always played it the easy way. I think this quote also means be honest with yourself. Take a look at whats in front of you and don't ignore it. See with your own eyes, and you'll know whats right from wrong. Theres not a lot of people that trust their first intuition, and its mostly the right choice in every decision you make, because you know deep down it's the right thing to do.

:D

Fashion Craze

Most teen girls LOVE to go shopping. If it was up to me, I would spend the whole day at the mall. I would say that most girls shop at Forever 21. Forever 21  is in every mall you go to. it has a wide selection of clothes for all body types, and not just for girls, but for guys and little kids too! They have everything a girl loves, from shoes, to hats, accessories, and even pajamas. All the clothes are affordable, you don't have to be rich to shop there, and there is always something on sale. The clothes are also good quality. Forever 21 also makes it easier for anyone to shop when you don't have time to go to the store. It is very easy to shop online, your purchase will get to you in perfect condition. They also offer free shipping if you spend $50 , which I think is a very good deal :)
