All About Me

I have many interests and hobbies that I like to do outside the professional world. When I'm not doing homework or any projects I like to turn on the TV and catch as many episodes of the Degrassi as I can. This past summer I stared watching the show and I got really into it because it has a lot of drama and things that really happen in high school. When I'm watching TV Degrassi is not the only thing I like to watch, when I can I watch Sports Nation, Espn First Take and Nfl Total Access. I know what you're thinking there all sports show, but you right they are. I watch these shows because they talk about my favorite sport football, but because I like how they debate at who's the best Quaterback, Widereciever etc. Some of the analysts on the show don't really know what they're talking about but it's okay because I get a kick out of watching them make a fool of themselves. Not only do I like watching football and sports shows, but I love to play with friends on the weekends. Every other weekend I go up to Hayward with a friend to play flag football or tackle and I have a great time.

Strange! Random Birds drop dead!

This incident has happen two southern states; Arkansas and Louisiana. On January 1, 2011 residents in Arkansas woke up the morning with a 1,000 red-winged birds dead on streets, lawns and rooftops. The night before birds had dropped dead out of the sky. Motorist had a hard time driving down the street without running over or hitting the birds that were dropping dead. When reporters found out the news they interviews residents that lived in the area and a lot said they either thought it was raining or it was fireworks from New Year Eve. Some also made conspiracies about that the world would come to an end in the year 2012. After the reporters gathered information they came up with a theory that the birds dropping dead could be from being struck by lightning or of high altitude hail. When theories were made people believed they could have been hit in the air. Again, on January 4, 2011 in the state of Louisiana the same phenomenon happen. More birds were found and residents once again had no clue of what was going on. The previous incident was not yet cleared, because the birds had not yet been examined and this was the second time it had happen. Residents were upset because the birds also fell on property like cars, motorcyles and from lawns. Finally, the birds from Arkansas were sent to Georgia and Wisconsin. The out of state officals concluded, the birds were suffering head trauma from the New Year’s celebration and they were hitting buildings. The death of the birds came from a the loud fireworks on New Years. I posted a link if you would like more information of the invent. http://www.aolnews.com/2011/01/04/dead-birds-in-arkansas-and-other-stuff-haarp-has-been-blamed-for/

Expectations at Philip and Sala Acedemic High School

High school was an up and down road for me. In my first year I had many teachers who were nice but when it came to the grades I did not catch on that easily. The highest GPA I had that year was a 3.0 and the lowest was a 1.87. I had many struggles teaching whom not to hang out with and turning all of my work in on time. I would say my freshman year was my worst academic year, but it was the best time partying with a lot of the upper classmen. I came back with the mentality that my grades were going to be up and I would have a good football season. I thought that until report cards came out and my GPA was once again a 1.87. The next semester cam around and got the hang of it I ended the school year with a 3.57 GPA. My junior year began and I had two honors class and an AP class. My junior year my grades were good, althought sports was horrible. My senior year my grades were a 2.0 average until I slipped at the end back to a 1.87.

Language Growing-Up

Coming up in the neighborhood I lived in it was different learning proper English in a neighborhood where nobody really spoke it. When I was younger my mom would always correct me on the type of words I used like "aint" and "mines", but I didn't understand why she would always corrects me because all the others kids I played outside with would use it and there mothers never corrected them. At times I used to think she was doing it to be mean. When I was in fourth and fifth grade I played basketball for a youth league team and everybody called me "White Boy" because the way I talk. It didn't hurt my feelings or anything, but after a while people tried to label me based on the way I talked and considered me to be soft. I didn't have many friends and I ended up quitting because too many fights with other teammates. Then I transferred to a another Elementary that was mostly Spanish speaking. I never learned to speak Spanish, but it was totatly different speaking proper because I never had any problems with it. I learned my first Spanish song La Bamba and I heard others sing songs I had heard in English, but because of the melody I knew what song they were singing. It was a different environment for me and not only was I surrounded by a language but culture as well.
