Assignment #16 "The Journey"

  Once upon a time it was late at night and there was nothing but pure darkness. The night was shaded in a hot pink color. Reminded me of cotton candy. Just by looking at the clouds got me hungry. There was no food no water or clothing but a cabin. I went into the cabin. It was dark and at the far end I saw a bright light. It was fire flies in a little jar with a handle at the top. I’ve never seen it before. I went towards the light and their it was a blanket and a pillow. I was so tired that just by looking at it made me feel all fuzzy and warm inside. So I layed on it and once my head touched the pillow it felt like if I was flying in the air on a pillow I started counting sheep right away. That night I slept so comfortable that I had my first dream ever. I have no family or friends the only thing I had always wished for was a sister. I needed company. That very night she came alive. It was a miracle. I saw my twin sister for once. She had long silky black hair all the way down to her lower back. She was light brown skin colored and colored eyes. I went to the beach and their she was in a long white skirt and brown shirt. I couldn’t believe what was before my eyes. As I walked towards her she faded into the water. Next thing you know I wake up in the same ugly dripping with water cabin. But yet I saw something unusual it was the girl in my dreams doing a camp fire only by herself. Once I sat down she talked to me she said “You hungry?’’ I have never heard anyone with that type of accent. I was speechless. I stared at her as she handed me a rock with green looking stuff on it. I grabbed the rock and she smiled. “What’s this?” I asked. She replied “Monsushi” I thought for a while monsushi? What the hell could this be? Is it what I think it is worms and leafs? Naaah it couldn’t be. So I brought up the rock and took a little bit. It was not as bad as it looks. It really doesn’t have a real good smell to it ither. As we both munched on the monsushi I asked her questions “What’s your name?” Sadaf she replied. Does Sadaf mean anything? Yes it means Pearl. As the questions went on I told her my name as well which is Sabita. Sabita means beautiful sunshine.


As Sadaf and I got to know each other better we went for a walk. We went to go see what’s around the cabin. There were just rocks and a nice view of heights. As the sun went down the stars kept on showing up more and more. Sadaf was one of a kind. I had never met someone so different from the outside world. She knew how to do everything. She told me a story of the last moments that she had spent with her mom.

Once when I was 5 her mom came home from shopping for snakes to take on the trip. My mom and I were off to see the cabin stream hill. That place was one of the most dangerous place to go visit. But my mom had heard that it’s beautiful and green and nice for a summer vacation. So as they traveled towards the east to the cabin stream hills a few miles away from their a bear came out from the top of the mountain and as the bear approached my mother she scream run Sadaf I can take care of this. I turned around and ran as fast as I could but my knees were weak I knew I couldn’t leave my mom alone but I was too little to help out. At that very moment I didn’t seem to care so I ran towards the mountain and got a log and did a circle shape around it as I sharpened it and used it as a bow and arrow. I got closer to my mom seeing her struggle and fight for her life as a warrior I threw it hoping that it wouldn’t hit my mom. You just hear the stick grind and rip into the flesh of the bear. As the bear fell backwards I called out to my mom. Mama! Mama! Mama! She looked at me and smiled I am proud of you Sadaf. You’re soon going to be a big and could take care of yourself. She fell down and I kneeled down and kissed my mom on the four head meaning that she is very brave and showing her how much you love her. She said rubbing my cheek with her index and middle finger as she bleed to death from a wound the bears clause have given her. I love you Sadaf….

My eyes got all watery and I started crying. MAMA! MAMA! MAMA! NOOO... Ever since then I have been making my mom proud taking care of myself. You see this? As I looked around her neck was a bear tooth. She said that’s the only memory that I have from my mom. Sadaf and I have so much in common my parents got in a car crash on their way back to come look for mi. We were both lost in this world now we had to do everything to find our self and what made it even better. Amazingly we became soul sister and made a promise to always be together and ever since then I have been the sunlight and Sadaf the pearl which Indicates the moon we came together as family. As we both became warriors. Two of the toughest young ladies of this world. The cabins were home sweet home for me and my new sister.

Assignment#15 Multiple intelligence essay

   In my opinion I think that it’s true. Because when you get a stick and for example let’s say that the left end is happiness and the right is anger. Either way when you try to get rid of the anger no matter what you do it is always going to be there. All you have to do is that you have to take control of your life. Like that man was trying to teach that kid whatever you do there is going to be things that you don’t like in life but there is nothing you can do other than take control. Like the kid kept breaking a piece of the right which is anger and every time he would be breaking a piece their always ended up to be anger. He seemed confused at first but after he kept breaking the stick he got it could have been the smallest stick ever and it would still have anger. I think that should be turned into a wisdom quote.


My opinion about what that man was teaching the kid a life lesson is that you can do so much but sooner or later it gets back to you. For example if I would do something like kill someone I will eventually get caught and I would get jail time for more than 20 years probably even more. For example I think that the wisdom the man was trying to teach is also like karma in a way. Because whatever you do you’re going to get pay back either way. Like if you murder someone eventually that bad piece of the stick is going to get to you and you’re going to end up regretting what you have done.


I also admire that instead of saying it that he made him realize it by himself. Instead of saying “look sunny whatever you’re going to do there is always going to be a bad side” He made it simpler just by that stick example. I think that that man is very wise. When I heard that story in class it reminded me of my uncle. Because my uncle would see me doing bad things but he wouldn’t tell us but one thing that he would make sure that I wouldn’t get hurt really bad. He wouldn’t tell me not to do it because he would know that I was going to do it either way. After all of the things would happen he would laph at me and say that im very intelligent. At first I thought it was a complement but it really wasn’t. Now that I am a lot older and can actually think it is kind of offensive. But yet I thought I was multi intelligent when I just had one intelligence and that was screwing up in life.


My family lets us learn our lesson by it happening to us they don’t tell us because the culture I come from is very stubborn and we think what we say is always going to be correct which is a no not always true. We just get blinded by our self’s it’s like stabbing yourself in the back. Like that one quote that says love blinds. Well it is actually true. I should know from experience. Like the stick I was defending something that I knew was wrong but I was blinded with love. At the moment I didn’t think it was love it was stupidity. Because my ex would scream at me and I would cover up his mistakes by making myself look bad. Then I come back to the stick thing that there was always innocence and stupidity all over me. I was trying to get rid of the blindness which is in reality me being stupid. The stick that I had always ended up having the same anger as the little kid that was trying to get rid of it. Some people just have to learn the hard way. Like me all stubborn Hahaha

Assignment:14 "School Uniforms"

I personally think that there is no point in using uniforms. Because uniforms don’t change acts. Yes it may change appearance but there is always going to be someone doing something that the principal don’t agree with. For example the principal demands dress codes because teenagers now days wear dickies and sag and wear spaghetti strap shirts, mini shorts, skirts, shirts . My opinion is that when the principal notices a group of people wearing the same color and hanging out they think is gang related. Because I have seen it happen. I am a teenager who knows how it feels like to have to wear uniforms for a whole year. To tell you the truth it REALLY SUCKS.


It can be a good thing because when you wake up you don’t have to choose your outfit because your going to be wearing the same three colors everyday. Either way your still going to end up looking the same. You will sometimes be less distracted becase with the school uniforms that you will be provided are mostly button up shirts that way girls can’t show cleavage. Some schools seek improvement because most students choose who to hang out with by their appearance. Like that quote says “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Well that’s how students decide who are they going to be friends with. I know that is true because of my past experience. I was judged like that and I myself have judged people like that as well. The other good thing about uniforms is that you can’t be violating the dress code with gang related clothes.

From my point of view some people feel like if their right is taken away. The right of being able to choose your appearance and being able to were what you want to wear. We feel like if we can’t do anything were trapped in a small cage. That’s one of the reasons people tag they think by tagging in a way their getting back at the school principal. Some of us think that if you dress like if you respect the school and it’s property that you won’t get caught doing bad stuff you can make yourself as if you were innocent. I mean wee teenagers we still have to look good boys sag girls expose.
  I think that school uniforms are useless. If teachers don’t wear them it is not fair that students mandatorily have to wear them. My opinion about uniforms that they are uncomfortable and ugly. Yes, it is true that you show pride in your school and respect and also by representing school colors. Even though it is way easier in the morning still you get tired of wearing the same three pairs of clothes over and over again. I hate having to wear the same three shirts for a whole year.


I have had school uniforms through all middle school. It really sucked. I hated it. Because I would always see teachers and the school principal wearing whatever they want and we would be in the back wearing our ugly itchy uniforms. My middle school principal would not allow skirts, spaghetti strap shirts, shorts, or any clothes with writing on it. It pissed me off because everything we were allowed to wear was plain just one color.

When I used to go you would get signatures I think for doing something good that a teacher liked or something and you would earn a pass. The gold one was the best because if you got one on that Friday you would be able to wear whatever you want but how I said only plain stuff. I would wear a South Pole shirt or jacket and I would get it taken away because supposedly it was gang related. I thought that was dumb. I remember because I wore a South Pole shirt that was like the size of a muscle shirts “three finger with” I got it taken away. It was a cool shirt but the principal thought I was disrespectful because of it. The security came up to me and asked me where your pass is and I showed him the gold pass you know so they would know I had permission to wear that. They took me to the office. You may ask why and it’s because my name wasn’t written on the pass. I was like oh my god!! So yeah I went to the office and they gave me this ugly extra large shirt and pointed to the bathroom they told me okay go change so I did. I had to wear that ugly shirt for that whole day. After school I went for the shirt and I couldn’t get it my mom had to be the one to get it but my mom never wanted to so I have never seen that shirt ever again.

I didn’t get it I thought to myself huh maybe all schools are like this. But no. My cousin proved me wrong Truman was the only strict school. Yeah I know we have to wear uniforms for our own safety so if a visitor comes or someone else they would know if he is allowed on campus. That’s how they would see who is not supposed to be in our school zone.

I have nothing against uniforms I just strongly dislike wearing them. If Atrisco Heritage Academy High School would force us to wear uniforms I would transfer out. I know it’s dumb just to transfer out just because of that but that’s my strong feelings on how I dislike them. Oh and another thing I also hated that we couldn’t were opened toed shoes. No flip flops or high heels. I thought that was bull not being able to wear flip flops. But yet when you would ask for the principal you would see her all comfortable in opened toed her high heels, skirts and exposing. That was no respect for herself.

I think if they are going to make us wear uniforms we should all be equal teachers, students and everybody on campus grounds. I think that it’s cool to be able to have al little freedom being able to wear whatever you like. That’s one of the reasons that I can’t wait to go college. I hate when teachers say that the school you are attending is a college preparing school when actually you are treated like a little kid. Like at my schools they repeat the same thing over and over wear your id’s wear your id’s wear your id’s. I feel like saying oh my god just freaking do it damn!

If I were to run a school I would let student’s voices and choices run the school we would have a 30 minute period to be able to relax socialize and text. I would at least allow some freedom to use cell phones during lunch. That is my opinion about wearing uniforms. If you want to keep your student’s happy no uniforms.

Assignment 13 Haloween Haiku

Howling a warning

The night is shaded in black

Candy is what's free tonight.

Assignnment 12 The black cat

I think that the symbolisum of the first cat is vilence because he takes it out all on his pets. The narrator became an alcoholic and the result was that he became moody and violent. First, he abused pets such as the rabbits and the monkey. He admits that soon he was even violent towards his wife. For a while, however, Pluto was immune to the disintegration of the narrator’s personality. However, Pluto was no longer protected by his favored status. In a fit of anger, the narrator cut the cat’s eye out of its head. At first, the narrator feltt bad but he was soon able to drown the memory in alcohol.
The cat recovered but was scared of the narrator. The cat’s wariness irritated the narrator who out of a spirit  hung the cat. On that same night, the narrator’s house and all his possessions were consumed by fire. The next day, on a piece of wall that remained standing "a piece of wall that stood at the head of the narrator’s bed". The image had a rope around its neck.The narrator was shaken by the vision but quickly puts together a logical explanation for the image that was on the wall. Despite his reasoning, the narrator was haunted by the image of that cat and soon felt a need to acquire a similar cat to replace the old one. One night, while he was drunk, he found a suitable cat at and then  as he intended it to purchase it. However, it belonged to no one.the cat followed him home.
    The cat, like his predecessor, was missing an eye. Unlike his predecessor, the cat had a white marking on his chest that resembled the gallows. The cat became a favorite of the narrator’s wife but almost immediately, the narrator took an intense dislike to the animal. However, the more he detested the cat, the more closely the cat attached itself to him, and, in turn, the more he detested it. The narrator confessed that he got to the point that he wanted to kill the cat but the remembrance of Pluto and his crime staid his hand, as he feared the create.The narrator’s account breaks into superstitious ramblings and fear. One day the narrator, his wife, and the cat descended the stairs into the cellar of the building where they lived. The cat tripped the narrator. The narrator was enraged and lifts an ax to kill the cat. However, his wife stopped the blow. This enraged the narrator further and he buried the ax in his wife’s brai.The murder was intentional. He supplies irrevocable evidence when he says that with the “hideous murder accomplished” he could now set about the task of concealing the body. He goes into detail about the various possibilities he considered before settling on walling her up in the basement. The narrator goes on to describe in minute detail the process of walling up his wife’s corpse and of removing all signs of activity in the basement. As the narrator relays the details of hiding the body and of the subsequent search by authorities.further evidence of his unreliability comes to light in his referring to killing his wife.The narrator seemed to feel that he had found peace. The cat was gone and the narrator was sure that no one would discover his secret. Inquiries and searches were made and no evidence was found. However, doubt must have lingered in the minds of the policeman. A second search was made at the house of the narrator. The narrator was confident that he would not be found out and wanted to make a boast to satisfy his own triumph, so he rapped sharply on the wall behind which his wife’s corpse was hidden and boasted about the solid build of the house. Immediately an inhuman wail emitted from the tomb.The police quickly tore down the wall to find the rotten corpse of the narrator’s wife with the cat sitting on her head. The narrator then blames the cat for his situation saying cat was a beast ‘whose craft had seduced me into murder and whose informing voice had consigned me to the hangman.

Assignment 11 The Concrete Rose

Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.
 
 
The meaning of this poem means that when theirs only one their unique and hardly seen. When he says about the flower tht grew from a crack in the concrete it's an example of a baby. Because a baby can't provide what it needs he can't walk and all his looking in his family is love and someone that could love him. When he found somone it's when the baby is not in it's mothers woon. It comes out for the first time breaths air and sees the real life.When i hear this poem it gives me an image of a pregnant lady. Because how the flower grows out of the crack it the babe grows in the woond. No one else cares for that baby other than it's mother. If it's own mother dosn't care for that child who will. No one is taking care of other peoples stuff to have preety roses you have to water them and take care of them and keep things that are around their safe.Same here with the baby you have to take care of him feed it shower ir keep it in a safe enviorment. I think that 2 pac wrote this poem to all pregnant woman. I love this poem i think that it is so cute how it says something but when you think about it. the poem has a meaning that touches you. I thinnk 2 pac is so creative in his writing and composig his music he knows what to give public. I  can relate to some of his music and like this poem reminds me of when i was in my momys tummy. How the first months your all happy and exited and never had that warm loving feeling of carrieng a baby. That's how the flower that grew out of a crack you never see a flower on the sement unless someone drops a rose or something it's like the first time you get pregnant.

  I  think that it could also mean set your mind to something you will be able to accomplish it. Because think about it how many people set their mind to something and accomplish his/her dreams. It happens but it is very rare like the flower that grew on the concrete crack. I belive that you can accomplish anything you want you just need to put your mind to it.. no one ever said that it was going to be easy. Life is not easy. It's going to be tough but eventually it's going to pay off. Like going to college. It is going to be challenging. For example i want to be a pediatrition it is going to take me atleast 6 or 8 years. But your going to love what you are doing and get payed alot for that. It's going to pay off because when you have to do something that you don't want to.
  When i see the picture of the beautiful rose growing out of the concrete it's more than a picture it has a meaning. You have to look very deep and find your self like that in the world. You stand out even though you don't know it. Everybody has a diffrent talent you just have too look deep in yourself. Life is no game it's about creating yourself and preparing your self for the after death. Because im catholic and i strongly belive that when i die their is more than what we have lived. Like how it says in the bible if you do bad things without regreting it or saying sorry and commiting it to god because you  know that he sees everything.. its like a bird at a beach picking up one grain of sand a traveling across the world. Until it is finished with picking up every grain of sand that their is at the beach.. Like when god sees someone become a drug dealer and a gang banger.. He dosn't see oh hes doing this because he needs the money he sees more deep. He sees that he thinks this is the only way to have a father son relation ship with these big drug dealers. He sees that he had no father growing up he lived with his single mother. He fell in the wrong foot steps of being in the street..

Assignment 10 Bullying

I have been bullied before. I was bullied in all through middle school. I was bullied because i was a nerd. I dresed nerdy and just had that  nerdy attitude. Ok so i remember this day were their was this guy that i liked when we were alone or when he wanted to copy my work he would be nice to me. But noo when his damn friends came along he was a lil bitch to me. We would be laphing and i would be helping him and we were learning together. When his friends were their when he was with me he would call me rude names that put mee down like Skinny bitch miget and white ass. Big foot. When i would go turn in my work and was walking towards my seat they would trip me and when i was about to sit down they would pull my chair back and i would fall they would laph. When they would do that i would think of doing suicidal things. I think that people should not do that because it is a put down for the one being bullied. That's onne of the reasons why someone would think of dropping out. I have never bullied anyone. And what i think is wird they bullie people smaller than them and that seem weeker and they know that they won't fight back. When i saw the movie that Mr.Leh showed us i felt bad inside that i wanted to get up and stand up for that kid. I have always seen kids get bullied but i stayed queiet because thoes people bulling that person were bulling me ass well and no one alse did anything to help me. I though it was mean when the principal said boys will be boys. But i bet you anything if the bullies parents knew that they were gitting bullied they would be pisst. When i saw one of my friends getting bullied and eventually beat up and jumped because she stood up for herself it made me feel bad because i could have gotten help or stoped it but i didn't do anything i was just standing their in shock. I feel like i participated in the beating what i did was the most hurtful thinng that had happend to her. She told me your my best friend and you turned away and didn't back me up when i needed you. she called me a too faced freind witch i fellt bad because i knwe that i could have helped. If that would have happend to me i would like for her to be their tto back me up and support me. Now i realized how much of a good friend that i am...

  It breaks my heart to know that i turned my back on my own best friend. I don't belive in best friends anymore because of an experience that i have had. Once again i say carma is a bitch.. I don't like knowing that i got payed in that matter of getting beat up and tesed on all my life. But i have learned the hard way no one is going to be their to deffend you. You have to stand up for yourself and deffend what is yours. Don't let people push you around and don't make the mistake i made.. I was seeing friends and younger people get pushed around and i would laph why you may ask i honestly don't know. I think becasue i couldn't stand up for my self why do it for them.. i would laph and think mabe i would blend in and they will stop picking on me. their was a time just one time where i pushed around this little girl because thoes guys told me too and i would be cool from now on. so i pushed he around the hall and triped her she  fell and everybody started laphing and i didn't realize thath the little girl was someone i knew. when she saw my smile on my face she got up picked up all her stuff and left crying and ashamed.. Instead of feeling good i felt bad and i will always regret that day and that smile i had when i look at myself in the mirror that image of her on the floor teering and everybody laphing kills me from the inside..

Assignment 9 Alien contact

The otherday at school me and my friends took lunch in our little cute lunch boxes  but something oftly ocuard was happening to mine. I noticed the bright green glow across the playground. I told my friends look look lokk. They were all looking at me like if i were crazy.THey were all what are you talking about? You want us to see what their was nothing their.Once they turned in the direction i was pointing to the bright green light went away. I was scared.

I was so scared to even get close to mine. But eventually my stomach was grouling so much that my tummy started to hurt that i grabbed the lunch box without thinking. I opend it and layed it on my lap and reached in. Instead of feeling a lil bag that mysandwich was in i felt a furry thing.  looked in and their it was a fuzzy lil thing.
