A TECHINCAL college is right for me. One reason is that I want to be a cosmetologist.

In conclusion, a techinal college would be great for me and for what I want to study.

"Get rich fast" SCHEMES do not work. One reason is that they take advantage of people. People are signing up for these things and sometimes even paying money to REGISTER because they think they're going to make money and then get cheated out of everything.

Lord of the Flies - Before You Read - Power Struggle

Whenever a group of people live together, there will be a stuggle for power. For example, kids here at spa are living in the same house and there is a constant battle for power. Especially children. Kids want to feel powerful and they want to feel important and they always try to out shine each other. In addition, our society instills with having a president and the way our government is run that power is a huge thing and should be fought for. Kids tend to want power and if they are all living together, they will all be fighting for it.

Portfolio - Improvement

Over the past two years, I haven't improved much. I can honestly say that I haven't tried as hard as I could have. Overall I've gone downhill but in certain subjects I've gotten better such as Writing and my speaking skills. I've become much more social and I can talk in front of people now without being really nervous. I've learned how to build stronger relationships and I've worked on bettering myself as a person. Academically, I definitely could have done better but as an individual I think I've improved a lot. I am going to try a lot harder my last two years of high school and make sure I graduate on time.

Portfolio - My Educational Experiences

 Due to my educational experiences, I am currently behind in school. I have moved around so much in the past 10 years of school that it has made it hard to kep my grades up. I am behind in credits due to missing school while moving around. I have a lot of gaps in different grades because of all the school i have missed and that is making it difficult to stay on top of my grades. Now I am going to have to go to summer school and probably take night classes to catch up and graduate on time. I am lucky because I went to such a good middle school, but unfortunately, middle school grades don't count for college. Now I have to stay on top of my work as much as I can so that I can get caught up and graduate on time.

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Obstacle

My biggets obstacle in the past two years of high school was having to come to San Pasqual Academy. It was the beginning of the fourth quarter of freshman year, I was going to Rancho Bernardo High School. I was involved in sports and school activities so leaving all my friends and the activities I loved was the hardest part. Things started to get rough at home around the second semester and eventually my aunt couldn't take care of my sister and I anymore. I missed about a month of school while my social worker was trying to figure out a placement for us so my grades started dropping and it made it hard to get them back up when I got here. I've had to become so much more independent and learn how to do things for myself by coming here. I've learned what true relationships are and that the only person I can truly count on is my sister. I've learned how to advocate for myself and form my own opinions and that's going to help me in life. If I could go back and change anything I definitely would. I would love to do everything over and not try to be so grown up so that I would have never gotten kicked out. This is the time in my life that I need a structured home with a mom and a dad and my stupid decisions put that in jeapordy. As a person I have grown a lot in the past two years and I'm happy I'll be able to take some of that with me.
