American History Article

I never thought that day was going to happen. My name is Elena and I'm very skinny and have a flat body. I like to read and stare out my window because I could see in the house below us. Eugene is this really cute kid that I like, that just moved into the house below us. He is tall has blond hair and wears glasses. I got to know Eugene When I "accidentally" bumped into him in the hallway of our school. We talked and ever since then, we walk home everyday together. On
November 22, 1963 two things happened to me. Eugene asked me to come over to study for the American history test tomorrow and I told him I would. That same day November 22, 1963 I found out from my p.e teacher that president John F. Kennedy was dead. This day was important to me because I was actually going to get to spend time with Eugene. I learned that this day November 22,1963 is important to Americans because he was a very well liked president, when he got shot, the camera guy caught in on video , and he was the second current president assassinated. My family and I live in Patterson,
New Jersey in a place called The Puerto Rican Tenement know as El Building.

Career Day

This morning was Career Day. I had a good time walking around and learning about different job types. First we went to learn about occupational therapy. The ladies spoke to us about what the difference was between occupational therapy and physical therapy. Then we went into the auditorium and there was a whole bunch of different stands to choose from. Becky, Chanda, Amy, Nora and I went to the National Guard station. He gave us a book called "Guide To PAYING For Your College Education." Then we went to the Firefighters station. It was fun we were just talking about how they put on their suits so fast and what fires they have been in. Frazier also told us how much everything weighs when they put theirs gear on. It approximately weighs 30-40 pounds. Overall I had a good morning learning about the different careers.

Earthquake

At 3:45pm, I was sitting on the couch when the 7.2 Earthquake hit. I thought someone was moving the couch.I turned around and there was no one there. Then Teresa the staff, told everyone the table was moving.The items on the house started shaking really bad. Then all the kids from all the houses ran outside. If there was damage done, the students would of had got seriously injured. I honestly thought we were all going to die. Afterwards,I was in shock because I don't recall ever feeling an Earthquake that hard. Then we turned on the news and the news reporter's were talking about it. They said at first they thought that it was a magnitude of 6.9. Researchers researched more and it was a magnitude of 7.2. It had hit Mexicali and also Calexico. I watched the news this morning and 2 were found dead and at least 100 were injured.

Ten Second Sound Off

Yesterday I stayed at home and did my homework then I went outside. I had a pretty rough day. My social worker called and wanted to talk to me about something that my mom told my social worker.Then I called her and told her why I was upset with her and she said she was sorry. Then I stayed in the office from 9:30 to 10:30. Then I went home and took a shower and went to bed. I am kinda upset today but not because of anyone just the choices that I made.

Cyber Predators 2

If my friend came to me and told me he or she was going to meet up with
someone that they met online, I would have serious talk with them.
I would tell them about the possibilities that could happen if he or she followed through. Some of these could include rape, kidnap, robbery, drugged, or killed. I also would remind them that they don't understand what they got themselves into.

Cyber Predators

I have learned a lot from this film, to NEVER give out any information under any CIRCUMSTANCES. They might tell you that they met you at a party or something strange to get you to give them your address or phone number. They could tell you that their 18 but could really be older than what they say. There's also the chance of them coming to your house trying to rape you, drug you or rob you. He or she might kidnap you and end up killing you. I came to the conclusion that I am going to delete the people I don't know off my contacts, and to never add them.
