MY SUMMER PLANS

2009-05-14T16:39:00.000-07:00

My summer plans for summer :).

So far I am going to go to HAWAII! I really can’t wait. I’m going to Hawaii with Luke Bota and their family. We invited them to go with us we are thinking on going to Maui and just relaxing and going to the beach. BUT we are also going snorkeling and skin boarding it is going to be so fun.

In Hawaii were going to eat their famous sugar cane. I love the tropical fruits that are there that is also why I would want to go there, they have guava, mango, star fruit, coconut, and a whole lot of others. And until August …!

Our family and I are going to… DISNEY WORLD in Orlando Florida. Were going alone this time and we are flying all the way to Orlando. I cant way because we get to go on tons of rides. We are thinking about going to Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom. And we might…go to Universal studios because that place looks really fun to.

My character clue is love and Initiative

Love vs. Selfishness- giving to others basic needs without having as my motive personal reward.

i think i really have a good heart because i love my whole family. I always share with my sisters. they are always there for me when i have no one to play with. I love my family, I am going to hate when my sister leaves to go get a house because she always helps me out with things for example: the science fair, maybe even homework.

Initiative vs. unresponsiveness - recognizing and doing what needs to be done before i am asked to do it.

I think i have had more initiative than i did before. I have started to clean my room without being told. I have also been taking my showers without being told( i know that is a little weird to say on a blog but i had to). I think i have helped my parents a lot infact i am going to go see if my room is clean right now... SEE YA!

This is my Current event blog.

This current event was talking about four Oakland officers who were terrifyingly shot. It said That Oakland was dangerous there was a lot of shooting. Inside the shooting of the four officers, two were killed the others were injured. The gun that the officers were shot with was an AK-47, as known as a Russian gun that Russians used so the person who shot the officers could be Russian.

There was this guy, Frank Rose, a militant reformer. Frank Rose was a witness in this event. Jane Brunner said that officers shouldn’t have guns that won’t protect themselves. Everyone was thinking, “Something like this would never happen again”. Diane Feinstein received many, many calls about the shooting of the officers.

The source that I went to was the Wall Street Journal. The story that I am going to summarize was an attack that happened in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The story was about a man who was sent by Taliban men. He was wearing a disguise, it was a police outfit when he was in his car they told him to go into the police station.

When he did he brought in the explosives and bombed the whole place. 11 policemen were killed and two civilians were killed, 29 were injured. The chief said he was probably sent by these men who were not on his side. He said that he was probably forced to do it.

President Barack Obama lifted restrictions on human embryonic stem cell research Monday (March 9, 2009), pledging that his administration will "make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology."
The decision angered abortion opponents, and while the president acknowledged their views, he sighted the potential treatments for many diseases. "The potential stem cell research offers is great," he said, "and with proper guidelines and strict oversight the perils can be avoided."

Baptist minister and civil rights leader. Born Michael Luther King, Jr., on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. The grandson and son of Baptist ministers, King grew up singing in his church choir. In 1935, his father changed both of their names to Martin to honor the German Protestant. Young Martin attended segregated public schools and graduated from high school at age 15. In 1948, he received his B.A. degree from Morehouse College in Georgia, the alma mater of both is father and grandfather, and in 1951 he earned is B.D. from Crozer Theological Seminary. While at Crozer, King was elected president of a predominantly white senior class. In 1955, he received a Ph.D. from Boston University, where he also met his future wife, Coretta Scott , with whom he had four children.

The African diaspora was the movement of Africans and their descendants to places throughout the world - predominantly to the Americas, then later to Europe, the Middle East and other places around the globe. Much of the African diaspora is descended from people who were enslaved and shipped to the Americas during the Atlantic slave trade, with the largest population in Brazil (see Afro-Brazilian). People of Sub-Saharan descent number at least 800 million in Africa and over 140 million in the Western Hemisphere, representing around 14% of the world's population

My CC blog is on Initiative.

Initiative vs. Unresponsiveness- Recognizing and doing what needs to be done before I am asked to do it. I wanted to do this Character clue because it is telling me to do that character clue all the time. It basically means to help out with out being told. Sometimes when I do that I get praised or get a reward. It feels really good when I take initiative.

My dad gave me and my sister a talk about initiative recently. My Mom has been doing most of the work around my house and she hates he said she doesn’t have enough time for everything. He told us to help out around the house, to take initiative.
So were starting to help out a lot more. It feels good to help out my Mom a lot more.

The ways that I can take Initiative is by doing the dishes. I can also show initiative by cleaning my room. My Dad said he would give us a reward be keeping my room clean for a whole week strait. It is making me want to do a lot of initiative so I can get rewards from Jesus that will be way greater. Hopefully I can keep it up with my initiative. For you, you should take initiative to and that’s great.

"Hedge of thorns"

2009-02-02T21:39:00.002-08:00

When I was nine years old I got a lot of stamps in my planner. So my Mom and Dad said if I got another stamp I would get punished for a week and not on that but that I wouldn’t be able to play basketball, I was very scared. The week after that I got a stamp! So I was very scared so I blacked out my stamps in my planner. I got home and my mom checked my planner and she saw the blackout! She said what are these and I said it says hello (I wrote hello for the blackout). Then a month later while still doing it my teacher found out, I WAS SCARED! He told me to tell my parents the next day and I said I did tell my parents. Then it was PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE! I thought he would forget to tell my mom and dad and he did, I was so happy. But not on the way back home, HE CALLED and tolled my mom and dad and I was in big trouble (I would rather not talk about it) the Hedge of thorns was protecting me from LYING, and being SLY

Hawaii story blog

2009-01-12T16:23:00.000-08:00

I flew on a plane to go to Hawaii. I flew with a few family members, my aunts, cousins, and Grandma. My aunts who went were my aunt Debbie. My cousin who went was Shelby. And My Grandma was, well I call her nana. Altogether it was about a 6 hour flight. When we landed we got off the plane, and boy, was it humid. My shoes were so sweaty it was like I couldn’t even walk because it was so slippery.

We went to our beautiful Hotel to rest after the flight we watched TV, played games and that is basically it. After, we went to eat at Denny’s in Hawaii. After we ate everyone wanted to get a souvenir. I wanted a sort of outfit that is pretty explanatory that I went to Hawaii.

We went to go get some sugar cane except when you eat it cut’s your mouth. In my exact words I said “mite as well eat it since were here it’s probably one chance that were going to be here. Then we went to a submarine ride that was so cool. We saw Sharks and schools of fish. We also saw a SUNKEN SHIP! That was the best part of all. The next day we went to a Luau which was really fun. WE saw a pig getting roasted and it was the whole thing. I went Hula dancing.

Next we went to a cruise it was so cool. They had really good food and really good beverages they basically have anything that you can think of. We saw the sun set. We landed on an island and we got stuck! Then the day was over :(

Then we went to go snorkeling I saw a jelly fish and I was so scared I ran out of the water I also saw an eel it was king of scary. Then we went to fly back home. It was’t humid anymore and we got to see our dogs I was happy :) and I was sad to leave Hawaii:(.

new Merry Xmas?

2009-01-04T21:01:00.000-08:00

Well I think Christmas, honestly means that we are celebrating our savior’s birthday. Now I know people always say that but I think there is a whole other meaning to Christmas. I think Christmas is all about your family, which Jesus comes in who created us. Otherwise we wouldn't have a “Merry Christmas".

People think Christmas is all about the presents... well think about this, who made presents? Answer: man. Who made man? And that's when people don't know the answer... well I have a simple 2, words, JESUS CHRIST. And that's what I think Christmas is all about.

Initiative vs. Unresponsiveness- Recognizing and doing what needs to be done before i am asked to do it.

I really like this character clue because honestly i don't do it but i would really like to. I can do it by cleaning my room before i am asked to do it, or i can get ahead in my homework. We were also taking about that in class.

Initiative can also relate to being responsible well just like everything i said is basically being responsible. I'm going to clean my room today so that my mom and dad will be happy.

The Thing I Like About Barack Obama

2008-11-11T14:09:00.000-08:00

Barack Obama voted yes to raise money for the family's in Iraq to end the war and to send the families to medical treatment. I think that is good because there are a lot of kids who wouldn't be able to live if Obama didn't help them , I'm not saying i like Obama at all I'm just saying i like him for this reason only. well for a start.

people are sponsoring to help stop the war in Iraq which i love. Because use just think about it if you were a kid and a man was pointing a gun @ your head what would you do @ that time?I would probably just want to get it over with .

interesting things

Queen Elizabeth- Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) was Queen of England and Queen of Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death. Sometimes called The Virgin Queen, Gloriana, or Good Queen Bess, Elizabeth was the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. The daughter of Henry VIII, she was born a princess, but her mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed three years after her birth, and Elizabeth was declared illegitimate. Her brother, Edward VI, cut her out of the succession. His will, however, was set aside, and in 1558 Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister, the Catholic Mary, during whose reign she had been imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels.
Elizabeth set out to rule by good counsel,[1] and she depended heavily on a group of trusted advisers led by William Cecil, Baron Burghley. One of her first moves as queen was to support the establishment of an English Protestant church, of which she became the Supreme Governor. This Elizabethan Religious Settlement held firm throughout her reign and later evolved into today's Church of England. It was expected that Elizabeth would marry, but despite several petitions from parliament, she never did. The reasons for this choice are unknown, and they have been much debated. As she grew older, Elizabeth became famous for her virginity, and a cult grew up around her which was celebrated in the portraits, pageants and literature of the day.

mayflower- The Mayflower was the famous ship that transported the English Separatists, better known as the Pilgrims, from Southampton, England, to Plymouth, Massachusetts (which would become the capital of Plymouth Colony), in 1620.[1]
The vessel left England on September 6 (Old Style)/September 16 (New Style),[2] and after a gruelling 66-day journey marked by disease, the ship dropped anchor inside the hook tip of Cape Cod (Provincetown Harbor) on November 11/November 21.[1] The Mayflower originally was destined for the mouth of the Hudson River, near present-day New York City, at the northern edge of England's Virginia colony, which itself was established with the 1607 Jamestown Settlement.[3] However, the Mayflower went off course as the winter approached, and remained in Cape Cod Bay. On March 21/28, 1621, all surviving passengers, who had inhabited the ship during the winter, moved ashore at Plymouth, and on April 5/15, the Mayflower, a privately commissioned vessel, returned to England.[1] In 1623, a year after the death of captain Christopher Jones, the Mayflower was most likely dismantled for scrap lumber in Rotherhithe, London.[4]
The Mayflower has a famous place in American history as a symbol of early European colonization of the future US. With their religion oppressed by the English Church and government,[5] the small party of religious separatists who comprised about half of the passengers on the ship desired a life where they could practice their religion freely. This symbol of religious freedom resonates in US society and the story of the Mayflower is a staple of any American history textbook. Americans whose roots are traceable back to New England often believe themselves to be descended from Mayflower passengers.
The main record for the voyage of the Mayflower and the disposition of the Plymouth Colony comes from William Bradford who was a guiding force and later the governor of the colony.

2008-10-19T17:05:00.000-07:00

My cc blog is Discernment vs. Judgment- the God given ability to understand why things happen.
I wan to relate to this because when things happen they happen for a reason. For example say someone in your family died maybe God is getting you ready for something to happen in the future because then you will be ready to live your life about it.

kind of like 9-11 i mean maybe god did that for a reason. maybe he is getting ready for us to happen in the future just like what happened on 9-11. you may be scared but just remember God is with you always even through the hard times.

"Economy"

2008-10-12T13:30:00.000-07:00

Economy means to manage our money. I think we should be responsible not with just our money but other things too. Perestroika, Soviet economic and social policy of the late 1980s. Perestroika [restructuring] was the term attached to the attempts (1985-91) by Mikhail Gorbachev to transform the stagnant, inefficient command economy of the Soviet Union into a decentralized market-oriented economy. Delano, city (1990 pop. 22,762), Kern co., S central Calif., in the fertile San Joaquin valley; inc. 1915. The city's economy is based on agriculture (grain and fruit) and related enterprises, especially vineyards and wineries. We need two be responsible with our money.

This will go back two taxes for me because I just hate them why do we need them. I think it is useless. Don’t we already pay enough? I just wish the government will fix it (like that will ever happen.) But if that happens that will be amazing

Money is probably the most important thing in a human world view other than GOD I hope. People spend it every day. I don’t think they should do that because they are probably not managing their money which is bad. It will come up to a bunch of problems especially with bills and they could lose their b and be homeless for the rest of their lives which is coming back to economy.

"intitle interviews"

2008-10-03T19:40:00.000-07:00

On my three interviews, there was something that kind of popped Wright in front of me it was that every body that I called, well first let me say I was interviewing people from my dads work and my dad is a police officer so what popped out Wright in front of me was that everyone that I called didn’t actually want to become a police officer they only became one because of the good retirement and the $ money $.

The other thing that also popped out Wright in front of me was that when I asked what their favorite part about their job everyone said they like the relationships instead of actually working. And that was what was really interesting to me on my interviews.

"Our Government"

2008-09-30T19:57:00.000-07:00

The thing I want to happen, is that our Government is to provide lower taxes. If things are expensive already they don’t need to make more expensive. I heard that in about ten years the gas prices are going to raise up to ten dollars a gallon WHOA! They really have to change that.

My Mom and Dad are really mad about these taxes. I think it is dumb I don’t know why but it just is to me. I am probably too young to say anything about this stuff. I just think it is true. Honestly don't you think we pay enough.
