Working at a football stadium- Keith Britton

If I worked at a football stadium I would want to be a referee . They don’t play but its like they are right there on the field in person. I think that is by far 1 of the best jobs you can have. You have to pay attention 24/7 cause if you miss a call the whole stadium and everyones eyes would be on you. When I was in the game I would ne in charge of putting the ball were its belongs. That is a very hard job cause you don’t have any cameras or anything to pay attention to.
Football is a very exciting sport if you miss one thing you will not know what is going on and being a ref but not knowing what is going on is not smart> the game can be put in your hands if you have to make that serious of a call. Football is a very contact sport you can get killed ran over or anything and being right in the action without any pads on is very dangerous. Everyone has pads on except you so you have to be really careful of you and your surroundings at all time.
I think that is 1 of the best jobs you can have on earth. You also have to be really smart in order to make those calls. I would not want to be the ref that’s on the field that is asking to get ran over by a big 220 pound running back that would not be fun. I would want to be the line judge cause I can see very well and to do that you have to pay close attention to not only the ball but also were the player is at the end of the play.
Also it would be very fun I would be charge of everyone on the field. How would you feel if you can penalize people because you can. Or how would it feel knowing that you can tell other grown men what to do but only if you have to. I would try my best to be the best official I can be because some of them out there are just terrible cause either they don’t like you of they just care about their money and I don’t think that is fair to the players that play their heart out every Sunday to do what they love and that is to play football in front of millions of people and to earn your paycheck.

When I grow up - Keith Britton

How many times have young boys said, “When I grow up I want to play pro baseball.” I can not count the number of times I have told people that I want to play in the big leagues. Major League baseball players are my heroes and role models, I remember wanting to go to a major league baseball game to see how the pros did it. When I became 14 years old I finally had my chance to see my first major league ballgame. Ever since that day I stepped into the ballpark, I knew that I wanted to become a pro baseball player.

My family and I decided that we would go to Texas for our vacation that year. My dad did not tell me that he had purchased some Texas Ranger baseball tickets for us. When we arrived at our hotel the first words to come out of my dad’s mouth was “Get your baseball glove ready were going to the new baseball field to watch the Texas Rangers play the Detroit Lions.” As soon as I heard that, I was the most satisfied kid on the planet. I knew that this would be my first big league game and I would remember it forever.

On our way to the ball field it took longer than I expected it to because the traffic was so hectic from the people trying to get to the ball game. When we finally arrived, I was more excited than I had ever been. After we barley found a parking spot we made our way to the baseball field. I had never seen so many people having the time of their lives. The outside of the stadium was amazing, the size and beauty astonished me. There were people everywhere scurrying around trying to get in the door to find their seats so that they could get a good look at the players warming up in pre game.
When we finally reached our seats in the stadium, the atmosphere was awesome, it was the greatest feeling ever to be there among the players and the people. As soon as I stepped into the walkway and seen the field I knew I wanted to play baseball in that same park one day. The lights around the stadium were the greatest, they were so big and bright that they lit up the field like it was mid-day. I wonder how the players feel every time they suite up and take the field, I bet their really nervous.

My dreams may never come true or maybe it’s just that I have been living out a childhood fantasy. Thousands of kids each year work there hardest to fulfill the same dream I have. Maybe my dream will fade or it may just not be meant to be. I know the chances of making it to the big leagues are slim, but I think if you work hard and put your mind to something that anything is possible. You can accomplish any goal you put your mind to but you have to have the want and desire to chase after your dreams. But I will work my hardest so make my dreams come tru

When I am Famous - Keith Britton

If I was in the news for doing something great 10 years down the road , I would be getting my 3000 hit in the mlb. That would be the greatest day of my life if that was to happen. I practice so much on baseball and it would be only right if I turned into a awfully good player. They will call me and tell me that they want to interview me on espn the next morning. They will ask me “how does it feel to get your 3000 hit. I will say its feels really good to be in a group of some of the dynamic players ever to play in the mlb. 3000 is a lot of hits and if you dont stay with it you will not make it to even 100. That is a very rare feat that only the great can get and I hope one day I will be great. They will also ask me why do I love baseball so much. I will say because everything about the sport is great also you can fail 7 out of 10 times and be considered great but it is also a very hard sport. The person that inspired me the most was my aunt because she paid for all of my showcases and all of my college tours I really love her for that because without that exposure I wouldn’t have got putting out there to all of these colleges and get all the experience. Out of high school I was scouted by SJSU they wanted me to come in and play 3rd base as a true freshman. After that happen I knew I was going to be something great or close to it I love baseball and baseball loves me back by letting me get all of those hits.

Earthquake In China- Meily Sun

If I had the ultra ability, I will make all the corrupts disappear. So it wont have ANY corrupts in USA, In china, In this world. Can you image if this world gets no corrupts? Can you image if all the people in this world gets equal treatment ? fair treatment? Can you image that all the people get their own respect and something that they deserve to have ?I believe that every country have corrupts, Not just one, Not just two. How many corrupts in every country ? I cant think of it. How many corrupts in this world ? For sure, That is a astronomical figures. You might think that I'm kidding or I'm fabricated or i make up something. But everything that i say in the next paragraph is true.
I think everybody might know what happened in China. 05/12/2008 at 02:28:04pm, There was a magnitude 7.8 earthquake, Lots of people were dead and many were missing. According to the Sichuan earthquake and disaster relief informed of the newest developments, There were 69227 people have been killed, 374643 people were injured, 9404 people were buried, 17923 people missing and there were 3.46 million of the damaging houses.It was only few minutes in that afternoon of 05/12/2008, The whole town was leveled to the ground instantly, Lots of people all died at that moment. It was only "80 seconds", The whole town it was suppose to be a bustling city with a a lot of fun,laughter,and happiness. But now everything is changed and you can hear the whole town crying.
Lots of people might think this is an accident, a natural disaster or it was the Buddha wanting to punish the people! I do agree with that. It was a accident, a natural disaster. But why did all the buildings, houses and bridge fall down easily? Why all the building, houses and bridge doesn't have strong support ? Why after all the disaster happened, There was no one explain why all the building, houses and bridge easy to fall down ? The building, Houses and bridge's support is suppose to withstand of a magnitude 8 earthquake. On the news, China's Government said that the earthquake happened by accident and it was also because the Geography.I also agree, because nobody wants to see this happened and nobody wants get hurt. But can we do better for the support earthquake prevention measures ? Or Did we already do our best of the earthquake prevention measures ? Did we do the earthquake prevention measures of each building, Each house and every bridge ? I don't think so. If the Chinese government do the fully earthquake prevention measures I don't know it well be like that worse... Because there were some corrupts in china's government.
If i have a superpower. I'm pretty sure that i will make all the corrupts disappear. So people will have better life.

Healthy Body- Meily Sun

How does health affect your learning/grade...
I think everybody should know how to take care their body well. Because if you don’t have a healthy body,you might need to do a lot of extra work and you might not have a happy life like other people. And your parents and Your friends will worry about you. If you don't have a health body you have to do more work than others, Like walking, Jumping, or go to hospital everyday to clean your blood if you have cancer. If you go to hospital to clean your blood everyday. You need 6-7 hours a day. So this mean that you cant go to school, You cant go learn from teacher,from school. When you get older, If you don't have any knowledge or school's diploma, I think none of the boss will hired you. Also if you don't have a health body, You might need to stay in hospital everyday and don't have time to get a job. to find some new friend.
I have example of my friend. My friend Leyao had a disease when she was born. She went to Kindergarten with me and our parents know each other. When we were plan to go to Middle School, Her mom told us that she needs to stay in the hospital to do the medical treatment everyday. When i went to visited her. I still remember that moment, I was so shocked ! because she cut all her hair, She is a bald now. When i saw that my eyes were blurred. Because she is a very pretty girl. She has long black hair, and a sweet smile, but now She is bald and her smile has disappeared . When i went to go visit her She was still sleeping, So me and my mom went home. My mom frequently told me everything that happened in the hospital about Leyao. I will go visit her during the weekend. And every time i can see her painful face when i go visit her. Because she was doing the treatment. She will give me a sweet smile but i still can feel how pmuch in pain she was. One day on the 7th grade. Her mom call us and told us that leyao cant take it no more, Doctor told her mom that Leyao is gonna leave her. She almost die. When i go to the hospital, She hold my hand and we cried. She is gone,Because she didn't have a health body. She only have element's knowledge....
I really think everyone should know how to treat their body well and do exercise during the weekend or go outside to play some sports with friends. having a Healthy body is important.

Heroes - chanchoy pharn

Someone I admire is family, because you learn a lot from family that is around you every day, and no matter what the issue is, or what you have to say bad or good, family will always be there. The main reason why I say myself, admire family is because my family has been through a lot, and they worked hard for what they own today, being immigrants from Thailand, coming to America living in the ghetto of East Oakland California. In my family in general the person I admire most, is my brother from another mother I am not going to say his name on here though. The reason why, I admire him most is, he thought about dropping out of school, but then he thought about his life and what his future would be, so he started changing his ways of doing negative things to positive things. My brother from another mother went to Oakland High School, and graduated the class of 2007, after he graduated he didn’t go to college, he just stayed home thinking about what to do. So he decided to get a job, he started work at San Francisco Air Port, where he didn’t really like to work, but you have to get up and work every day to make money. He then thought about quitting his job, but his boss wouldn’t let him, because they valued how he did things fast, and they didn’t want him to quit, so they gave him a raise, and he decided to stay. I call him my brother from another mother, because we the same person, but just a different ethnicity, and we consider ourselves family, and if we ever get into drama, or a bad situation, we will always be there for each other no matter what it is. Why I admire him is, because he graduated out of high school, and even though he did not go to college, to achieved all his goals, and much more then what he thought he would. He worked for only about four years now to this day 2011, and he owns a Lexus 2010 ES 300 brand new already paid off everything , including his second car a 2007 Camry brand new as well fresh out of the parking lot. The house he lives in now, even though it is in a okay neighborhood, it is the biggest, and best looking house in the neighborhood, and he pays the bills for his parents. This gives me the motivation that all those times I thought about dropping out of school to do my own thing, to make me stay in school to it least graduate, then in the future be successful like him one day. That is why my goal is to graduate out of high school, but go to college, so I can do more things in the future. The crazy thing is even though we young and we think we got out future planned out we don’t know what will really happy because unexpected things can happen in the future and when those things do happen randomly they are always good things so keep your head up high and keep doing the things you do and you will be able to achieve your dreams make them a reality.The crazy thing is even though we young and we think we got out future planned out we don’t know what will really happy because unexpected things can happen in the future and when those things do happen randomly they are always good things so keep your head up high and keep doing the things you do and you will be able to achieve your dreams make them a reality. That is why he is one of the persons in my life that i admire and motivate me to do the things i do and stay in school.

Someone I Look Up To- Stoney HardyJr.

One person I look up to is my Mama Teresa Hardy I really don’t think no other women on this earth is a better mom than my Mama. I love this women a lot she have did so much for me an my sister it’s no way I can pay her back for everything she did for me. To be honest if it wasn’t for my Mama I don’t think I would be the man I am today she help me through so much stuff an situations that you can’t even imagine. My mama is a independent black women that took care of me and my sister by herself it’s not a lot of women these days that can say they did that. When I was growing up me and my mama was so close but as I started getting older I started to push myself away from my mama I don’t know why I just did it’s like every time she came around me I would get upset don’t get me wrong I never stop loving my mama I just started to distant myself away from her. I put my mama through so much stuff I think any other women would have been wash there hands with an just gave up on me but my mama didn’t an that’s one reason why I look up to her. Now I see my mama or she pick me up I love being with her, an when she hug me know other woman can hug me like that when she kiss me know other women can kiss me like she do. Another reason why I look up to my mama is that when I was younger my mama always wanted to be a registered nurse. When I was little my mama had to go to school at night to be a nurse she went to school for a lot of years an the hole time she was going to school she had to raise me an my sister at the same time, I know that was to much too handle at the same time for anybody it would be too much to handle but after a few years me an my family finally went to her graduation an got her certification to be a registered nurse I think that was one of my mama most proudest days I never really seen her smile like she did that day its like it was a permitted on her face. My mama always told me that at the end of the day whatever I do if nobody else is there for me My mama will be there for me an she really prove that to me even though she didn’t have to

Someone I Admire- Kimberly Septien

Someone I extremely admire and look up to is my mom. A lot of people refuse to have good relationships with their mom for some dumb reason, which I don’t understand. I love my mother she is like my best friend. She is the person I always go to when I need something. Whether it is a ride somewhere or someone to talk to she’s always there. Which is cool because the feelings mutual. I’m my mom’s best friend and she’s mine.
I look up to my mom because although she does not always have the best solution to something she’ll always try to make it work as best as she can. She’s not a quitter and she’s an extremely optimistic person, like me. I think that’s where I got it from. She taught me important things that I’ll carry on to my children. She taught me the importance of education and respect and manners and to not judge a person before knowing them. I am who I am because of my mom.
Another reason why I look up to my mom is because as a person, she has had to endure a lot of things. I mean my parents are divorced and she had to go from working wife to single working mother. And the truth is, life has been easier because of her efforts and her hard work. I can only dream to become someone as amazing as her. That I guess is one of my goals. To be like my mother. Well not exactly like her but to be the way she is. Because I know who I am, and what I believe in. And although our beliefs in certain things don’t coincide I can in a way still be like her. Because we’d share the same qualities. I want to be hardworking and loving and caring and joyful. Because that’s how she is. Truthfully that’s how her whole family is. That’s how my family is.
Maybe you think I’m exaggerating and that my mom isn’t as awesome as I make her out to be. But the truth is, she is. And it’s too bad that you can’t believe amazing people exist, because they do and it’s just been your misfortune to have not met any.
And if you can believe it ……. than good for you I guess. J

Something I Am Good At- Chanchoy Pharn

Something I am good at is playing sports, and selling stuff. When I was a kid in elementary school at Allendale elementary school, I loved to play sports. We would play kickball, football, basketball, race running against each other etc. My favorite sport to play in general was basketball. I played basketball on a daily routine, with my family, and friends we play basketball at the park every week on a daily routine. The reason I like to play basketball, is all my folks like to play it too, so we get together every week and play together from, sun light, to dark at night non-stop until we can’t walk no more. Also when I was young, I use to like to play it, even though I was not good, I was not the best, and I was weak, but I was not the weakest player on the court, and I use to love watching it on television and enjoy the games at night, because at night the best games were always last. My favorite team in the national basket ball association is the Golden State Warriors, because I watched them as a kid, and back in 2004 they beat the Dallas Mavericks one of the biggest upset in the nation basket ball association ever due to Dallas being the favorite to win the western conference ship. My favorite player of all time is no doubt
the best player of all time Michael Jordan, who was the one to always to go in the end and make the bucket you need to win the game, that is why he is in the hall of fame winning so many rings by himself, and today his brand is so popular and known. Playing basketball is fun for me, because I get to spend time with the people that I love, and we all enjoy what we do together, with the same passion we share for the love of the game. Second of all I am good at making money, selling a lot of random products. When I was in elementary school at the age of seven, I sold a lot of cards, toys, clothes etc, and made a lot of money. People tell me I should be a sales man, or have my own business, because I can persuade anyone to almost buy anything. I know for a fact when I am older, I will still be playing the game of basketball, and most likely still sell material clothes to people, and own my company. In selling objects to people, I have been doing it for a long time, so I have a lot of experience to persuade people to buy my products, that I myself have for sale, to beat other store’s prices. The main secret in selling a lot of products to people to make money, is the same key that every business owner will tell you. The secret is customer satisfaction, if you keep your customers happy they will always come back to you, and they will spread word to their friends, that will spread on to their other friends, passing over and over, making you from a small business in the bottom bringing you to the top, to become one of the worlds best business. Hopefully in the future as I grow older, I will pursue one of these things, that I am good at and make it a reality and make it my occupation, but for now I am still young thinking about what I want to do in the future,

Someone I Admire- Esmeralda Chavez

Someone that I admire is well I guess that it would be my mom because she has thought me allot of thing that I should do and not do although sometime I didn’t listen to her because them bad friendships I had I listen more to them than to my mom .and I remember that one day that my mom told me that watch you going to regret this some day for not listening to me and you going to see that everything I say to you is going to become true because she had told me that out of hundred persons only one maybe one is going to be a good friend and for now all the things my mom has told me had has happen because she knows that now and day the friendships that are they just want you to do stupid things like cut classes and do drugs and drink and stuff like that and it is true because I use to have allot of them kind of friends in my freshmen year and half of them I don’t even talk to them right know because there are fake just like mom told me. And some of them were like with attitude and I don’t like them girls that in everything they say they be tripen. And now that am in my senior year I only be hanging out with one friend and she has been my friend sciences middle school and she is also someone that I also admire because I remember I got mad with her in the 8thgrade for no reason just because I listen to this other friend that I had just because she was hating on her .and I do regret all of that but now I know that there’s only going to be that one good friend that I already have.

So yeah I guess the two people that I admire is my mom and my friend kevia. I admire kevia because she always has that good positive side that I wish I had because like am always saying what if I don’t graduate and she always tell me watch we both are going to graduate together and pass the stage and that’s why she is an other person that I admire to.

Who I Admire- Sequoyah Thomas

Who do I admire? When I hear something like that I instantly think things like, who I do want to be like, whose foot steps do I want to follow, or whose path do I want to walk. Well I’m not sure whose path I want to walk, I’ve kind of always figured that I want to make my own path. At first I thought that it may be kind of arrogant to not have someone to look up to or want to be like but, I soon realized that that’s just apart of who I am and maybe I just haven’t found that person to idolize yet.

I think maybe I haven’t found an idol is because, I never really just think about how great of person someone maybe and that maybe one day I can be as great as that person. Like my mother is a pretty amazing person. She has four beautiful kids my brother who turns twenty in a couple of months, my sister who is now eight, my baby brother who is two, and myself who turns seventeen next month. She goes to City College of San Francisco while juggling all four of her wonderful children’s lifestyles, not to mention how big of a hand full the baby and I are, with him getting into everything and me not doing so well in school. She also works at a hair salon in San Leandro from time to time and won’t hesitate to do anything for her family. That shows strength, initiative, and passion.

Another person who may be worth admiring would be my mom’s co-worker and close friend, Connie. She works at the hair salon full time Tuesday through Saturday from about eight to six. She makes a lot of money and she owns the hair salon that her and my mother both works at, along with others. She has two boys one that is about twenty-three-years-old and the other almost eighteen. I think the most admiring thing is that she owns her own business and has a lot of money. I want to own my own business and have a lot of money also. Money is power!

I sat here and analyzed two amazing woman and I am still unsure of who I admire. I don’t think it’s because I’m indecisive or anything, it just brings me back to my point I made early in this essay about how I would like to make my own path. I mean sure it’s pretty cool that my mom can put with four darling kids and can still go to school and work, and yeah it’s kind of fascinating that Connie has her own business and makes a lot of money but, I can’t or wouldn’t choose between the both of them; they’re both incredible women. All that I’ve been trying to say is that I really want to be like myself. I know your thinking, how can I be like myself it doesn’t make sense but, I never wanted to be like another person and I don’t think I ever can so all that’s left is me. I inspire me. I will always and forever be me.

Responsability- Kristina Lopez

Should children have pets to take care of? Can children actually handle the responsibility? In my opinion it all depends on the child and the pet in which you give them. For example when I was younger I had a bird, but I didn’t want to take care of it because I didn’t like birds. At school we had animals in the science room though and I would go in everyday during my lunch to take care of the bearded dragon and the geckos, cleaning their cages and holding them, feeding them and giving them all water. I was okay with doing that because I loved reptiles and I had the responsibility to know that without me they would die. As for my bird my mom was the one who took care of her. I hated the bird and wanted nothing to do with her except putting water and food in the cage so she wouldn’t die because no one wants to kill anything (except for maybe a bug...) I begged my mom and dad for a snake or a lizard everyday and I knew I would take care of it because of my love for reptiles but they wouldn’t get me one because all they saw was my responsibility for the bird.
The same goes for most children from what I have observed, one of my younger brothers is a dog person and my other brother likes cats. So when we got cats my younger brother was willing to take care of them and feed them every day, but my older brother just wanted to pet them now and then… When we got a puppy it was a completely different story. He wanted everything to do with the dog. Bring him out, play with him, the dog slept in his room, and he would freak out when he was outside for too long and was not played with. Every kid is different but I think if you get a kid the right pet you will have a very responsible kid and yes it will in the long run teach them more responsibility then they probably realize.
So do I think children should be given pets to take care of? Yes and no. Kids should be able to choose if they actually want the pet or not and I feel it should be something they think about a lot before getting it so that they know that is the pet they want to take care of and not just a phase of wanting a turtle that they are going to get bored of in a day. It will teach the child some sort of responsibility and if they really love the pet they will treat the pet as if it were a child to THEM. That is what kids need because then it really shows them how much harder their parents must work for a human child and it will give them better understanding of things in future situations.

Pets- Merecedes Lefiti

I think children should be given a pet to prove their worthiness. I know I’ve gone through a couple of pets through my whole lifetime; like 50 goldfish and 1 hamster. Obviously we all know fish don’t live that long so that’s how I had so many fish. The cause of my hamster’s death was it got out of its cage; my dad got frightened by it, picks it up, and threw it at the wall. He didn’t tell me he killed until a couple years ago. The only close pet I’ve ever had ever since is my grandparent’s dog but the whole thing is I’m allergic to pet dander and the dog sheds an enormous amount of hair each day. My mom’s boyfriend tried to get us a cat and my mom said, “Hell no!” and that was the end of that. But as far as responsibility wise I think little kids should at least experience the feeling of having a pet at least once in their lifetime to get a feel of some sort of responsibility.

Responsability- Loni Thomas

In my cyber high class we were given a topic on responsibility. The question was ‘should children be given a pet to take care of?’ and honestly I think you should be a certain age in order to have a pet, I believe kids should wait until they’re at least thirteen in order to take care of a pet. The reason I believe this is because when you’re a certain age you don’t know what responsibility is, you can hardly take care of yourself, let alone another creature. I got my first pet when I was around nine. I had a grey and black tabby cat. Honestly, it was hard work and I really hard but I still didn’t understand my responsibility. Sure I fed the cat, gave it baths but I really had no idea of responsibility, and eventually I had got rid of the cat.
I remember begging my mom for a dog for about four years until I finally got exactly that. One day I had came home to find the smallest, most adorable dog ever. It was a male brown and white Shih Tzu. If you don’t know much about these they’re an ancient breed of dog that comes from royalty. They are very cute, have quite the personality, but they are very dominant and authority resistant, so it’s best to train them immediately or they will take over your house-literally- if I had known that maybe a lot of trouble I went through wouldn’t have happened.
But instead this happened; I treated my dog like a baby and let him get away with everything. He was a handful. It took him half a year to become house broken, he scratched up a lot of my belongings, and my families, but he was a sweet dog. He was so resistant to my rules because he knew I wouldn’t get too strict with him. But my step father soon stepped in after he realized I was incapable of training him.
Almost immediately after my step dad started training my dog he responded almost immediately. I had learned that I still wasn’t ready to have an animal but I was going to try and do the best that I could. Eventually, I had become a good pet owner. Although my dog never listened to me as well as he did with my stepdad he knew not to cross the line-most of the time. That was all I could hope for I guess and I was satisfied with that.
So I think that children should wait for an animal to teach a kid responsibility. Maybe giving them a daily job would be better until you think they are ready. It doesn’t mean they can’t ever have one just not at this time. That’s just my personal opinion after learning from my experiences from animals.

Responsability- Sequoyah Thomas

I got my first pet when I was about eight or nine. My mom had bought me a bunny rabbit for my birthday. I had thought that it was the best thing that could ever happen because, I really wanted one. I had thought that my life couldn’t get any better because, aside from all the other toys I had got for my birthday, the rabbit was really what I had wanted. I had named him spot because he was white with black spots; he was the most adorable bunny I had ever seen. As a care-taker I had to refill his drinking water almost everyday or whenever it got empty and it was the same for the food. He pooped and urinated a lot which had a very unpleasant odor so it was important that I changed his litter frequently. I also had to refill his food, and take him outside. It was a lot of work taking care of him being so young. After a while all that work got tiring and it was too much responsibility because, I really wanted to have fun and it isn’t much that one can do with a rabbit; not to mention it’s difficult to pick-up a rabbit and as a child I often tried to avoid “difficult”. One day I was at the park with my brother and cousins having so much fun, then my mom had came to pick us up to go home and on the way there she had unleashed the unfortunate news that spot had died. In a way I was happy to not have so much responsibility but, looking back I regret being so selfish, inconsiderate, and careless. I know it sounds cruel but, I was only a child. I kind of miss him now.

I think children shouldn’t be given a pet to take care of. As you have read above, some children aren’t psychologically fit to do so. I wasn’t that’s for sure. My focus was on playing and having fun and not enough of it contributed to the well-being of my rabbit. I got bored with him and became irresponsible so I didn’t care anymore. Some would say, “what a cruel thing” but, that’s just the nature of a child. Some are not aware that animals are living breathing species just like we are. We need food, water, bathing, nurture and so forth. They also need to feel love, care, and safe as well as do humans and children younger than twelve shouldn’t be given the responsibility to take care of another species, it’s just too much for them; they aren’t ready. I said twelve because, when a child reaches age twelve they start to become more mature so they begin to realize what’s real, what’s important, and what matters.

Fortunately, when I was 13 or 14 I got a dog! A white and black pit bull that I, myself named chewy because, he loved to chewy on people. Since pits are so rough we had to get rid of him because, my mom was pregnant. It was the saddest day of my life; I had to get rid of my baby for her baby! I miss him too!

Summer- Meily Sun

As a student, I think everybody has a same dream, Its not college, Its not the weekend, Its not no homework, Its SUMMER! Even though not much students have something planned for their summer or what to do, but we just love it. Because we can wake up at anytime we want and hangout with friends and go to vacations or visit family.
My summer was boring this year, but i still enjoyed it. The best part of my summer was hanging out with my friends and spending time with my family. I went to shopping around twice a week, and went to Great America, BBQ, Hot Pot and learn how to make Japanese sushi and Korean sushi.I helped my mom clean the whole house,even the back yard.

During the summer days, One thing that is very Interesting was that I went to my mom's friend's shop to help her sell stuff. Her shop has some cute stationery and shirts and pants. I went there around 3-4 days a week. Helped her removed things and put on the price tag at every items and designed the room for her. I think it was a great experience for My future because I had learned how to be patient and use a better attitude towards people.

But the worse part that I hate about this summer was I couldn't go to China! I already bought the ticket during March and I was ready to leave at 6/29. I talked to my counselor she said I have to go to summer school so I choose to cancel my ticket and they charged me $250 for cancelling it. But the day after I cancel my ticket, the Summer School send me a letter saying that i'm not allowed to go to summer school this year! What a big joke for me! I didnt go visit my grandparents,My aunts and my friends about 3 years. I was about to cry after i read that letter, but life alwasy plays a joke on us, So i chose to go to china next summer.

Honestly i dont want to go back to school because I got use to my everyday plans and all the random things. But i understand i have to come back because Im still a student, and I need to graduate. So the day before the first day of school, I told my self I must work very hard this year, because I'm a junior. If i still gonna do something like last year ? Im not gonna graduate and I cant go to my dream collge, UC Berkely. So i promised myself, I will work hard this year!

Cyber High- Meily Sun

What is Cyber High?

Cyber High Schools is the term many school districts and private curriculum companies use to describe going to high school online. There are many other names for going to school online, including virtual high school, distance education , cyber charter school, internet high school, online charter high school or e-learning. Cyber High School means that a high school student has the option of receiving their public education at home, depending on their school districts current distance education policy. The Cyber High program was created to take advantage of the many capabilities of today's Internet. It offers students immediate feedback as well as a dynamic multimedia experience including sound, animation, and video. Cyber High's unique software has also been designed to allow teachers to access current student information. For security purposes, administrators alone have the capacity to access and generate reports of student activity at their school sites. The program allows communication between computers at the school sites and those at Cyber High headquarters, ensuring quick and accurate transmission of data on student enrollment, curriculum, and test results.


Because I failed my class last year, I chose Cyber High this year to earn some credits so I would have better grades to graduate. I care about my grades and wanna work hard this year. I dont know why i gave up on myself last year. I didnt do any homework, didnt pay too much atention in class, didnt "act" like a good student that i said i would. especially i feel so sorry for my history teacher. I didnt do her homework, didnt do classwork, didnt do some projects. But she still been very nice to me and tried to help me more. But i chose to cut her class and not be respectful to her. I know being in the USA for a few years is not a good excuse to not doing ANY work, But i dont know why i told myself i said i just came here not too long, I dont know how to do those work, Is okay doesnt matter! I'm very regretful right now, If i would have one more chance, I swear i WONT do what i did last year. I will try my best to work hard, and get extra help from teachers. I know the teachers in the USA are very nice unlike China's teachers! If i work hard and i do my best and i still dont get it and dont understnad, I wont blame myself and i believe all my teachers wont blame me, beucase they know I try my best!

Starting this year, I hope i can be a diligent student, not be afriad to ask teachers for extra help, work hard, and do my best in every class. I need to go to a good college, I want to be an Interpreter after i graduate from college, I believe i can!

Something I'm Good At- Meily Sun

What is something that I'm really good at ?

I think i am good at alot the things. I am good at playing piano, good at how to treat the elderly, how to cook, and good at how to design my house...!! But please dont misunderstand me, Im not an arrogant person. But I think im really good at thinking and talking!

I think i have a powerful and not constrained brian to have alot of ideas or opinion. My mom divorced when i was 2 or 3 years old. So, i dont have a dad when i was little. But i never thought i was different from anybody else. Because my mom gave me both a mother and father love, i am a happy person. When i was little, Before going to sleep, my mom would tell me some story about Fairy Tales, Aesop's Fables, CONAN... while my mom was talking, My little brain started to thinking, how they face act like, how they talk, where they live,how beautiful their house was....!!

I live with my mom and my older brother, When my mom and my brother have any trouble or something happened on them, They just walk in my room and start talking to me, So Im like a "Psychiatrist" in my house, how the way my family works is we act like friens. Everytime after they told me their problems, i alwasy gave them so good idea, Let them feel free and relax. My mom and my grandma always said i have a brain that doesnt match my age.

I love to read, and watch TV since i was little, but is not some cartoons or manga. I dont like to watch them when i was little. My mom and aunt told me, When i was little, I always watch some animal channels,paranormal channels, some talking show, even i dont understnad what they were saying. My mom always told me i was a very annoying baby, I asked her why, she laughted and said: You alwasy asked me alot of question, like why the sky is blue, I told you because the sea's reflection, and then you asked me, then why the sea is blue.

I also love to talk. Im not sure if its called talking orsharing my opinions, If there something happened in my family or friends, I will tell them my opinion and i will share my experince with them.I think this is something that im good at.

Someone I Look Up To- Meily Sun

The person that i look up to is....

She was born in 1993 in china, she has small but shiney eyes, she has beautiful long hair, she lives in a poor family. She has one younger brother. Her parents doesnt really care about her, because in chinese culture, most of the parents give more attention to their son. So when she was 1 year old, Her parents leaved her and let her lived with their grandparents in the rural.

She came to the city when she was in the third grade. She is a very quiet person. She doesn't like to talk that much. Every day during the reading time (around 7:30am) She would bring out her own book and started to read it. During lunch time,she would bring out her own book again. To me, seems like the book is her "food". When the boys want to talk to her, She would give them a smile and continued her "Lunch". When girls wants to talk to her, she would close her book and talk with them. Alot of the people like to play with her and talk to her, She also very nice to everyone,but expect the boys.

She is the Class representative, Which means that when the teacher is not there yet, she is the one who tell all the students what to do. Some people might don't know that when you're in China, your family has to be rich to go to school. If you are not rich,all the students,teachers,and princials will look down on you, no matter how good your grades are. I still remember when she first came to the class, my teacher gave her a seat on the last row of the classroom(in China, when you sit on the back, it means that the teacher doesn't like you or you dont have a good grade or maybe you are poor.) But she didn't care and she understood what are the "rules" in the city's school. In the next few weeks, She proved her self what kind of student she is and she showed to everyone that she is working hard. She has the strength to sit in the front. During those few weeks,she was one of the best students to score high scores on her exams!

Untill now, She goes to the famous high school in my hometown is called "er zhong", and she was the winner of reading books last year.I forgot to introduce who she is. She is my best friend. Her chinese is Win. her enlighs name is windy. We have known each other about 10 years. She told me she is about to come to the USA in about 2 years. I am very happy and looking forward to go to the same college with her in my future.
