How I Feel????

2005-06-23T08:29:00.000-07:00

Today is the last day of our technology class which probably means that is could be the last time i would write a new blog. This year went by really fast, and it was really easy. I hope next year would be the same. I had some what fun this year, although it's a small school, but that didn't matter. I cant say that i would miss this school, because i wouldn't, and because i live like a few blocks away. i would probably miss the good times that i had during this year, not the ones in school but the memories of me doing stupid \things during the school year. Im not a very sociable person, so i really dont get invole with what is going on, but i got to say one thing, this school wasn't that that bad for it first year, i give them credit for that.
Hopefully next year would be much faster and a lot more easier. In the beggining of the school year i thought this school would be stupid and lame, but its not that bad. i kinda enjoy being a part of this school. In three more years i would really look up to, to see if thios school had really kept it's promise. I's promise to send the majority of students to college, but it's not up to the school for the students to go to college, it up to the students, and the choices they make, during their high school years. Personaly i think this is a good school, and it would be better through out the years, BUT ONLY TIME WOULD TELL.
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER EVERYONE, AND TAKE CARE.

My reactions of this these things happening around Animo Veince, are just caringless, i dont really care, i mean sure we got to put a stop to it or what ever but still, you never know if next year it could be worse, even if we stop whats happening like the stealing, and the tagging, it would forsure happen again.

ABC 7 REPORT

2005-05-06T11:08:00.000-07:00

The report talked about the LAUSD District, that there schools are failing in graduating there students. Then it started to talk about about the Animo school and how they are achieving to graduate there student unlike the LAUSD SCHOOLS. My opinion is that every school is a good school, it the student who make it a bad school, in any school anyone could get a good education, it's all on the students, for there education.

Steve Barr

2005-04-20T13:59:00.000-07:00

Last week Steve Barr came in my Read 180 class and he started to talk about his life, and what encouraged him to build these schools. The one thing that i found most interesting about him is when he was talking about his brother, and how his life went the other way, in school.
Mr. Barr is an alright type of guy, once you get to know about his life, he didn't say much, but what he said was enough to understand, on what he went through. Mr. Barr didn't really teach us anything about leadership, because of the lack of time that we had. It was either that or i cant remember.

Which hole are you in?

2005-04-04T12:52:00.000-07:00

1) Do you think the author really fell into holes in the sidwalk? What do you think the "holes" in this poem are a methaphor for? What kinds of "holes" have you fallen into in your life?
I think that the author had fallen into bad habbits that she doesn't want to do, but she keeps doing it because she cant stop.
2) When I first read this poem, I thought of what's happening to your grades. Some of you seem to be stuck in hole #2: your grades go down; you pretend you don't see it; you have "F"s again; you can't believe you're in the same place; you say it isn't your fault; it takes you forever to get out or you don't get out at all. Which hole are you in right now? Why do you think so?
I'm not in any hole, because when i see that i have an "F" i do what i possibly can to raise my grade, so i would say that I'm not in any hole.
3) In terms of your grades, what do you have to do to reach step V and not fall into the hole of letting your grades drop? If you have already reached step V, how did you get there; and what advice can you give to the students who are stilling falling into "holes"?
To fall in the fifth hole you must bring your grades up every time that you have a bad grade, then when you learn to do that then you'll fall in the V HOLE

Luis and Chris incident

2005-03-11T10:49:00.000-08:00

What i think about the incident about what Luis and chris did was wrong, but they deserve a second chance, sure it is wrong to bring a weapon to school, but that was a toy gun,if it was something like a knife, then things should get serious but they brought a plastic BB gun to school. First they should've thought about it twice of bringing that plastic gun to school, second they should've not been shooting it in the classroom.
My opinion about yesterdays assembley was a waste of time, it just lead up to more anger between the students. The assembly was about Luis and Chris, and the purpose about it was talking about what they did, what was the point of having that assembly if we can't get them back, it was a waste of time. The other purpose about the assembly was to prevent something like that in the future, there is no point because something else like that would happen again, something always happens. Like someone in the school said that everybody in this school is two face, that i agree with most og the students here are two face, including me.

Leader

2005-02-14T13:08:00.000-08:00

i was interviewing my suppose leader and it didnt't turn out good as Mr. HSU said some people dont consider them selves as leaders and thats what happened the person didn't consider himself as a leader so then i asked him

1. If you were a leader what kind of leader would you be?

he said " if i was a leader i would want to be a bad leader"

i asked him why, all he said is that he doesn't want to be a leader, and that he didn't care

What is a leader?

2005-02-08T13:07:00.000-08:00

A leader is a person that could lead other people and acheive their goal. The difference between a good and bad leader is that one leader would acheive their goal and the other wouldn't or wouldn't care if they acheives their goals.
There was only one time were i have been a leader, it was when i went paint balling with my brothers and friends they choose me to be their captin and that was the only time when i was a leader. I dont consider anyone a leader

Danny Trejo's talk

2005-01-28T10:37:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, Danny talked about the mistakes that people could make,the kind that would change their lives for the rest of their living days. Everything he said yesterday was true because i know someone who went through that, the person has life in prison, for stupid reasons. Like Danny said most of the people who are in prison right now isn't our falt, it is the fault of the people that they hang out with that make them do those stupid decisions, who make them do stupid things that reflect on them later in life. Out of all the things that Danny was talking about the one thing that connected with me the was that sometimes it;s the parents that make their kids end up the way they do, that is something that is true. I learned allot by listening to Danny's talk.

Martin Luther King Jr.

2005-01-20T13:59:00.000-08:00

i got the tour on Martin Luther Kings house, where is family lived, his family was a open hearted prople who would let strangers in when they needed a home. In the house there was a Piano were Martin and his brothers practiced to play then one night they went in the living room and started to pound the piano with a hammer, they did that oftenly because they hated to play the piano, but on the other hand Martin was the best on playing the piano

my grades

2005-01-07T10:47:00.000-08:00

My grades have are good i guess i just have to get more A's than C's and B's the only subject that im failing is Biology.
My grades have changed some of my B's went down to C's i'll try to get my B's back, I am not that satisfied with my current grades right know i know that i could do better, thats probably what i am going to do try harder. Like i said i'll try harder, so that means that im kind of disatisfied.
All i want say about Mr. Changs blog is that he sounds up set.

week

2004-12-09T11:49:00.000-08:00

IT IS THURSDY the 9th all day i have been kind of bored. All this week has been going really slow the time has been going really slow, i dont know why. it probably the change of the hour or somrthing. thats all i could think of writing

Why do you hurt yourself

2004-11-29T13:01:00.000-08:00

one situtation were i have hurt my self is when i choose not to listen to myself i have done terrible things in my life I'm not going to say what i did but i have done some stupid things, it not like drugs or anything because I've never tried them and never will it just the decisions that i make. That's only sometimes that my decisions i make hurt me. I'm basicly hurting my self when i make them, i dont really care sometimes my friends make a big deal of little things sometimes i hate them. i dont really care about other students if they hurt them selves or not, to tell you the truth i dont care about any students but my self i wouldn't do anything to prevent them from hurting them selves, because thats non of my business.
the letter made sense in some ways like if you take drugs the only person that your hurting is your selves, and like other things that other people do that not just do they hurt them selves but they hurt other people to.

My Grades

2004-11-08T13:05:00.000-08:00

some of my grades are alright im only failing two of my periods, i still like my grades though.
i could probably improve my failing grades if i try hard enough, i got to say i am doing way better here than at my old school, way better, i hated my old school.
nothing is unfair unless you make it unfair i wont complain about my grades, unless i know i didn't get that grade. (hope it makes sense)
I wouldn't care about other comments, their not important.

MY WEEKEND

2004-11-01T13:01:00.000-08:00

On Friday i went to the school's dance, it was kind of fun until i had to go home.
On saturday i went to my cousins house to find out what he was going to do on Halloween, he told me he didn't know yet, so i was just hanging out at his house all day Saturday.Until i had to go to home at 6:00, realy like to spent time with my cousins, because i never usually see them, any of them.
On sunday i was playing xbox all day until my little cousins came at seven, my sister was going trick o treating with her boy friends nephews, she asked me if i wanted to go trick o treating with them, but i just went for thr ride, they got a lot of candy last night. I kind of hate candy, but i love dark chocolate.

Homeless para.

2004-10-20T14:32:00.000-07:00

I dont know how some people become homeless, maybe its the choices that they made when they were young or something, or they got into drugs and got very adictive and threw everything away, no one would know for sure but the person and god himself.
Thats my opinion about homeless people, sometimes I do give them money when they ask me
(thats if i got any change on me) if i dont have any money than, than there's nothing i could do about it.

ENTJ

2004-10-13T15:00:00.000-07:00

ENTJs have a natural tendency to marshall and direct. This may be expressed with the charm and finesse of a world leader or with the insensitivity of a cult leader. The ENTJ requires little encouragement to make a plan. One ENTJ put it this way... "I make these little plans that really don't have any importance to anyone else, and then feel compelled to carry them out." While "compelled" may not describe ENTJs as a group, nevertheless the bent to plan creatively and to make those plans realiity is a common theme for NJ types.
We are larger than life in describing their projects or proposals this ability may be expressed as salesman ship.
our trademark is '' Im sorry you have to die'', that is something that we chukle about or something like that .
it says that i am a hard worker and would have good jobs that i could follow in path, as I would be on a great paths to great jobs.
Jim Carry is a ENTJ i think that's funny and cool, so is Whoopi Goldberg,Harrison Ford, General Norman Schwarzkopf, and someother interesting people.

c. What kind of candidate should you choose? Why? How will your kind of candidate affect you as a student at Animo Venice?
d. What can *you* do to make this a better election?

answers:
a. i think these elections are going to be based on popularity like Mr. chang said, i have been noticeing that too.
b. i think Mr. chang is right, like i said it on popularity, if you aren't known by the half of the school then there is a less like chance that they'll vote for you.
c. I would choose the canidate that i think would do a good and responsible job for the position that they are running for, and hopefully the people (candidates) that i will vote for, they'll do a good job
d. I can make the election better by voteing for the right, and responsible candidates that are running. www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=tommychang

Nabil

2004-10-06T14:54:00.000-07:00

Nabil likes to watch iraqi sports, nabil, he seems to like america by the way he writes to us [america]
He seems to like his country but so far he dosen't seem to write about the war that is happening in iraq.
Nabil seems to be a very athletic person, it seems that he likes his country but he dosen't like the terrorism that is happening in iraq.He even phrases "what is wrong with us "in the article WHAT IS WRONG IN IRAQ?
Nabil seems to care for what is wrong in iraq but there is nothing he could do about it the only person that could stop that war is the person that started it that person is George W. Bush.
Nabil likes soccor alot because that is all he writes in the articles, thats mostly what he talks about.
The school in iraq must be realy different, especially with all that stuff going on over there, like the war.
