Dream House Paragraph with Imagery

My dream house is a cabin in Washington. I have an overview of the lake in front of my house surrounded by trees. As I walk outside I can taste the fresh pine of the pine trees that are right outside of my cabin. The items in my house feel smooth like the carpet, couches, etc. I smell the different varieties of the trees and animals that live by my house. I hear the birds in the trees, the crickets hiding, and the wolves howling. To achieve this dream I need to make sure I graduate high school and go onto college.

"Third Quarter Goals Reflection."

My goals for this quarter are to not only to maintain my GPA but to improve it. I have not been doing what I am suppose to be doing in order to improve this. I know that If I work really hard I can definitely approve the things that need to be achieved. I am going to try to do all of my homework everynight, because lately I have been lazy. If I don't understand something I am going to ask my teachers for help here on out. I want to be able to ask a question and go home knowing that I can understand what I am suppose to do. At the end of the quarter I expect to to have raised my GPA and gone above and beyond.

“Animal Farm” Revolution at SPA

It was a friday night when all the kids on campus were expected to be in the gym for a cofidential meeting. As Morgan walked into the gym she noticed there was no staff and a whole bunch of kids. Sherlene had managed to steal the keys from the office when no one was around. " Everybody sit down and pay attention!" she demanded. As everyone started to sit down Sherlene starts to talk.
" We all know that these staff get on our nerves, right? So how about we plan revenge!" Sherlene yelled. " I have an idea that seems fun." Nicholas replied. So Sherlene took notes on the idea that he had given her. Sherlene shared the idea with the group and everybody agreed. " So everyone's up for AWOLing tonight. Everybody meet back in the gym at 7:45pm and we will leave from there."
It was 7:45pm and everybody on campus was in the gym getting ready to have a blast. All the staff on campus were directed to follow the students like as if they were up to something. The kids huddled into a group, counted to 10, and ran everywhere even into the orange groves. The staff were heated that they had to stop what they were doing to chase kids.

San Pasqual Academy Dragons Symbolism

The mascot of San Pasqual Academy is a dragon. Just as dragons are a unique creature because they breathe fire so are the students of San Pasqual. Being foster kids, we come from unique backgrounds. Dragons are looked at as strong because they learn to face their fears just as we have learned to do. Dragons have a hard exterior but can be tamed. At San Pasqual Academy most kids are mean when they arrive, but once they settle in they tend to let their guard down. To be a SPA dragon means you are tough, unique and eventually learn to trust.

Symbolism in "Through the Tunnel."

“Through the Tunnel” Foster Youth Initiation

Even though they don’t have to swim through a tunnel like Jerry in “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, foster youth are initiated into the foster care system. An initiation by other students in terms of seeing how tough or weak you are. Another way is by a temporary placement until a hearing is held. When you enter into the foster system, all children are assigned a judge, attourney, and a social worker. As a result of this initiation, you are officialy a foster youth.

“Through the Tunnel” Analysis Paragraph

“Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing would be different if it were told from the first-person point of view because it would have more emotion to it. If Jerry were to tell the story, we would have had more detail of what he experienced and how he felt about the situation. Since it was third person limited we didn't really as much as we wanted to know about Jerry. Coming form they boys point of view, we would understand more why he dove off the cliff into the tunnel.

“Through the Tunnel” Prove Yourself Paragraph

In 2008 when I first got into the foster system my sister, brother and I went to a foster home in Ramona. When we arrived at their house they had us sit down and go over all the rules that they wanted us to follow. Their number one rule that they were going to teach us how to demonstrate proper manners. To me, this rule made me upset because they had already implied that being taken away from our family we didn't have those kind of manners. To prove and reach my goal I made sure that I was doing everything that they had asked me to do and wasn't doing anything wrong. By showing that I knew how to behave I got to have a lot more privileges that my sister and brother. At the end I was glad that I had the chance to prove to them that even though I was taken away I still had manners. Now that I look back at this experience, I should have helped my brother and sister instead of thinking about myself.

Third Quarter Goals/2010 Accomplishment

My 2010's greatest accomplishment was getting a 3.0 G.P.A In order to achieve that G.P.A I had to do multiple things such as make sure I went to school everyday, payed attention, turn in all of my work, and ask for help when I needed it. I also needed to stay organized as far as where my books were and what my homework was each night. My homework usually took more that what the minimal time requirement was given. It took a lot of work but in the end it was worth it.

My goal for this quarter is not to only maintain my G.P.A but improve it. I will try to do this by making sure I go to school everyday for all periods. Lately I have been struggling to do so. My biggest goal is to do my homework no matter how hard it is. My second goal is to ask for all the help I can get instead of being quite and confused. My final goal is to try to get along with everybody even if I don't like them.

"Winter Break Experience."

During my winter break experience I had a funny thing that happened. On December 21 I went to the E.R because I was having really bad chest pain and my arms felt numb and the feeling wouldn't go away. My mom and I sat in the waiting room for like forty five minutes. Then one of the nurses called be back and put me in a room. She made me change into a gown and then take a urinary test.

In the meantime, I was waiting in the room for the doctor to come in and see me. He finally came in like an hour later and asked me a whole bunch of different questions. Then he asked me what was wrong and I told him the symptoms I was having. The doctor told me that he thought it was caused by stress and I was having bad anxiety. He wanted to take EKG, where they put little wires that regulate your heartbeat, to make sure there wasn't anything wrong.

After the test was done, the doctor told me that I had costocongitis which was my chest being inflammed. He perscribed medicine and then talked to me about my urinary test. He asked me if there was a chance I could be pregnant and I told him no. He was like well your urinary test said that you were pregnant, but if you say that your not you need to take another one. I took another one and it finally took an hour for the results to come back. At last the doctor came back and said that I wasn't and he got this patient and my results mixed up some how.
