Concrete & Specific Details

1. Clothes-Men-Ralph Lauren-Polo-Blue-Short sleeve shirt

On a hot summer a nice blue short polo shirt makes you feel like million bucks. Soft and smooth on the skin, it feels like a cloud is covering your upper body. It smells very rich, just the way it looks. When you see it, you vet a taste of rich dark and milk chocolate in your mouth.

2. Machine-Automobile-Sports car-2 door coupe-Black-Lamborghini

The Lamborghini smells of fresh leather. The interior is black and smooth like a chocolate baby. The black paint job with the tinted lights gives yu a picture of the "Bat Mobile." Just looking at the car makes you want to drink a monster and drive. A taste that gives you a rush of energy. The engine roars when you go from 0-60 in 4 seconds.

3. Shoes-Nike-Jordans-Red&Black-OG Retro 1s

The smell of a new pair of OG retro Jordan 1s is like the smell of a new car. They feel like clouds on your feet while you are wearing them. They remind me of Jordans best basketball games when he was young in the league,when I look at them. They don't give a sense of taste but they sound like the squeak of a basketball shoe on the gym floor during crunch time.

6. Purpose of the Internet

The purpose of the Internet is to obtain information from different sources. From those sources, your can obtain different types of information. Obtaining information that is put on the Internet is able to give you a lot more knowledge that is very helpful. The more knowledge you have stored in your brain, the more power that you can and will have. Another purpose of the Internet is for communication with others. In the past, the only to communicate with another person was by talking to them in person, or by sending them a letter if you were not able to see them. Now-a-days you can just send an email to that person if you can't talk to them in person. Sending an email, a person can respond to it very fast. Sending a letter, it takes a long time before you hear from that person again. It could be weeks, or even months. Another purpose for the Internet is to shop. In stores they may not have certain items. But at that same store you go to their website, and they will have the same plus better stuff on the Internet. The Internet has somewhat better prices too, than in the store. The Internet is one of the most powerful tools in the world. Everyone uses it everyday. It is a very powerful tool. I don't know what the world would be like without it.

8. Math is a required subject. Explain why it is so important.

Even though it is a required subject, I don't feel that math is an important subject unless you want to do something in the future that involves you doing math. If you like numbers, money, or anything in that area. Then math is very important. If you want to own a business, then math is very important too. Math is very important because you need to know how to count. Yes I know there are a lot of formulas that you don't need in everyday life, but the formulas in math are simular to some formulas in life. For example, x + 10=20. X would then equal 10. In real life if you need to have $100 and you have $20, how much more do you need? Your equation would be x + $20=$100. It is the same type of problem. Math isn't important if you don't want to to it when you grow up. It still has somewhat importance though. You need to know how to count your money. But the hard math courses are not needed. You just need to know a little more than the very basics. But math is very important in life.

Should schoolsStandards be raised?

   Schools today offer a lot of classes. From regular to AP, and from autoshop to photography. There is a wide range of classes your child can be interested in. Most children don't take advantage of all the classes that schools have to offer. It is not that the students are not learning enough from the school, because the school has a wide range of classes to offer. The students are just not taking advantage of it. They are limiting themselves to not get the highest of knowledge possible. Schools should not have higher standards because it is not their fault.
   Not all students, but the average student at a public high school doesn't want to take the more difficult classes. They want to take the easier classes and the classes that will get them out of high school and into college easy. If they can do enough just to get by, then that is what they are going to do. Not all students are like this though. Some want to better their learning because they want it to pay off in the future. Another reason may be just so they can get a new experience in their life. Not all students are the same.If everyone wanted thought the same and felt they had to do something, then where would the world be today. Most of the greatest things were invented by people that weren't like everyone else. Bill Gates did not finish his education, and he is one of the richest men in the world.
   With more and more people wanting to go to college, schools don't even have to raise their standards because the students are starting to take the more difficult classes becasue they see that it looks better when a college sees that. It looks better being at the top of your class with the highest grade point average in the school. Some students are raising the bar by themselves because of all the competition to get into the best colleges and universities in the United States. The students are learning as much as they want to while they are in high school. Whether they take full advantage of it or just do enough to get by, is totally up to the individual student.
   The standards that schools have not, should not be raised. Schools offer rigorous courses, and a wide variety of them. It is up to the students to take those courses and not just get by. Actually do the best they can, and learn as much as possible while in that class everytime they are in it. Not everyone wants to take these higher classes and do all that work. Some students cannot handle all of that and are learing a lot now. Why force more on them? Why set standards even higher, and some students can barely handel it now? That would do no justice to the student. It would not do any justice to the school either because students would start failing more, giving the school a bad name. Don't raise the standards, just give schools more money to make their programs and classes even better than they are so more people will want to take the classes.

5. Situation where change becomes necessary

A situation where change can become very necessary is when you and the people you are with, or if you are by yourself, feel what you are about to do is not a very good idea. For example, there are two parties that are going on, on the same night. Most of the cooler people are going to party A and less people are going to party B. You and the people you are with decide to go to party A because it is supposed to be better, which makes a lot of sense to go to the better party. When you guys arrive, you can see the something bad is about to go down before you even park or get out of the car. Instead of parking and attending party A, making a change of plans and going to party B is necessary. You can still go party A, but you just better be careful. Especially if you can see that something very bad is going to happen before you get inside. The smarter choice is changing the plans and going to party B. In some situations, a change in plans is very necessary for most people.

4. Vision of my ideal vacation

My ideal vacation would be at South Beach Miami, Florida. I would go alone bringing no clothes but socks, underwear, and the clothes that I wear there. In Florida I would splurge. Having a lot of money I would buy clothes out there. I would go to the beach to see the sights and to meet some ladies. When I see the badies, I would hit them with the flex and bag them all, as if I were to go grocery or Louie shopping. If I were to go on vacation with my wife, my ideal vacation would be at an island like the island of Maui, in the state of Hawaii. I would rent out a private home on the beach for just the two of us. We would have a lot of fun. Do stuff like canoe riding, swimming in the beach, and other adventurous daytime activities. If not, then just chill. At night we would have romantic dinners followed by action that would take place in all places of the beach house. That part gets very wild and crazy. But it is the best part of the whole vacation. I would like to take both of those vacations someday in my lifetime. I believe I will though, because I have "Guap," and I don't save because I splurge.

Essay-Children Getting Allowence

Many kids in the world today are very spoiled an believe that they are entitled to money that is not theirs, eventhough they do not do anything to help earn that money made by their parents. The parents of these children give this money to their kids as an allowence for not doing anything. Other parents only give their chilldren an allowence if they do chors around their living space, or just help their parents out with stuff that would be easier to do with another set of hands. Allowence is given to children to have them practice money management. If they learn at a young age it will help them greatly in their future, on how to manage their money. In the real world you arent just given money though. It will never just be handed to you easy. You have to work for everything you get when you are not living with your parents anymore. If the money is just being handed to the children it is not teaching them anything. Parent should give their children an allowence only if their child does chores/work around the house, or for good behavior if their child behaves really bad.
If the child just gets the money without having to put any work into it, he or she will never be able to make it in the real world when they grow up. In the real world, after college for some and high school for others, things are not just handed to you. You have to put in some type of hard work to get the money that everyone desires. If you don't then some else that was taught to work hard will get the money that you would like. If the child gets the money after he or she has done chors or work around their living space, they will grow up to know that whatever they want in life requires hard work to be put in. If nothing is put in, you will never get anything out. That is a law of nature. Unless you are just drop dead rich and you are to recieve the money when your mother or father dies, then that is different. But that isn't the case in most families today in America. I have a friend who is very rich, and lives in a really big house in brentwood. He doesnt have to do anything because the wealth will be passed down to him in his future. His parents still make him work for the things that he gets, and even money becasue they want him to apprecieate everything and not take it for granted. They know that at any point in life something can go wrong, and they lose all their wealth. This can happen to anyone and it does. People lose everything they have sometimes and are forced o live a life they wish they didn't have to.
Parents should only give their children money or an allowence if they help out by doing chors or little jobs. If parents do this they will only be helping out their children in the future so that they will know if they want anything, they will have to work for it. Nothing is given to anyone. If parents just give their child money without any work then that child will not have a good future because they won't know how to get something that they really want.

Obesity

Obesity is a huge problem in America today. It effects not only the person who obese, but the people around them. The whole country is affected from the problem of obesity. The person that is obese is looked upon not in a good way by society. They are seen as if they don't care about themselves. They don't care if they die from diabetes, or if they can't get up out the bed because they weigh so much their legs can't hold their weight. Obesity isn't coming from only adults either. It is starting at a young age. Many children in today's society are weighing a lot more than they should. By the time they get to middle and high school they are already huge, then have low self esteem. Then they get picked on by the people that are not fat or as them. Parents need to start feeding their children more healthy and have them excercising constantly everyday. The child should be active outside of school at least and hour and a half to two hours everyday of the week. People in not only American, even though we have the biggest weight problem, should watch their weight. Workout everyday to help burn off fat from your body and to stay in shape. Dieting doesnt do very good. Just dont over eat and eat the right foods. Have junk food sometimes, but not on a regular. Make it a treat for doing something good.

2. Two different people could become alies

It is very possible that two people of different interests and backgrounds could become allies. Those two people may not see eye to eye on anything. Them being so different can make them so alike at the same time. Them both not liking anything each other is already one thing that they have in common. They also can help one another by showing them things that the other person has never expericenced before and that person may like it. It is very possible that the two become very good allies and very good friends. They may not wanting anyone to mess with that other person about their interest but them. I have seen that before. The two friends or allies can mess with each other about something, but if an outsider tries to get in, they imediately have each others' back against that person. Another event i have seen this is when basketball teams have team fights. Although not every person on the team may get along with open another, or like one another, if they get into "it" with another team, imediately the team puts all their differences aside and helps each other out against the other team. This isn't a rare thing to see at all in life. Our country is like that. USA and  Britian have different beliefs, but when it comes down to war, they always are allies. This won't for every two opposite pair in the world, but for some it will. You just have to see if it ever happens to you.

1. Outdoor living to a person with an apartment in the city

A person with an apartment in the city would consider outdoor living as living on the streets. This would also mean that the person is homeless. Outdoor living is living with no roof over your head that you can count on to have on a regular basis. In the city outdoor living is dangerous because it wouldn't just be you out there by yourself. There are other people that are out there trying to survive. You have to watch your back regularly and hope you can find a safe place to sleep at night. You might have to sleep during the day so that the probability of something bad happening is not as great. most apartments in the main city aren't occupied by the rich, more the people that are close to out door living if something bad happened. To those people outdoor living isn't very far for them. It is not a good thing, and living outdoors may be in the back of their mind at times.

same sex schools

Single-Sex Schools

                All girl schools believe that girls can learn better because boys are not there to distract them. They also believe that they have to compete with the boys and that they get less attention in the classroom. In a school with both girls and boys, the girls are a lot of the time distracting the boys. Having attended high school that contained both boys and girls, where I had classes where girls outnumbered the girls. The girls would talk most of the class period, distracting the rest of the class. The other classes I had there were no distractions. Everyone wanted to learn. The boys would help the girls, and the girls would help the boys. No one received any more attention than the other did. Single sex schools are not a good idea.

                In the real world, you are not split up by boys and girls. When you get a job, you don’t just work with all women. You won’t just only talk to all women in your life. So why would you split girls from boys, if school is suppose to prepare you for when you are out on your own living in the real world? That is a big mistake. Girls don’t end up knowing how to work with boys. For example, if at an all girls’ school they had to do a project where they had to start a business and make the most money possible. In the nearby future those girls will have to work with the opposite sex too. They will not know how to interact with them in a business setting. This will be a problem in their life, and may cost them their job. When applying for a job and the interviewer is a male, the girl won’t be prepared to talk to the opposite sex.

                In the school setting boys are not the problem for the girls. The girls, if anything, distract themselves by trying to entertain and show off for the boys. In the classroom boys and girls also think different on things and have different point of views on topics. Getting and seeing another point of view, along with seeing how someone else thinks, can help a person not have tunnel vision, be more open, and see the world different. Separating the two sexes won’t help them in the future either. It will hurt them greatly. They won’t know how to interact with the opposite sex; they will miss out on opportunities that may come your way just by knowing someone that you may meet at that school that you could be at. Going to school with one another can also help the girls find their true love. Mostly every girl wants to find that special someone that they have been looking for. Most of the time, that person is found in college or after you are done with school, you see that person, years later. If you go to school with all of the same sex, the girl or boy will never meet that person. Keep the schools mixed with both boys and girls.

Brave

I am brave everyday of the school week. One day in perticular was on a monday in the month of october. This wednesday i was going to lunch and B.J's breath was smelling extra tart.

Till this very day, I still dont know how I was able to withstand it.

1. a hundred dollars that i had to give away

If i had a hundred dollars that I had to give away, i would find a kid that loves basketball, but cant afford the things needed for him to play. I would buy the things that he needs, and give it to him. Any money that i had left over i would give it to him.

Haku

water rising below
filling up my rightous soul
it drop with the moon

leaves falling very slow
the sky is covered by the clouds
it is wintertime

as life passes by
some people come and some go
but i stay the same

snow coated mountains
covering all my vision
wintertime is here

birds fly in the sky
they rest in their homemade nests
surviving alone

as the ball bounces
as the night time sky rises
determination

birds sing in the day
when the sun goes down and the night comes
the bats yell at night

a cool windy breeze
smell of a blossom daisy
springtime is nearby

warm mother nature
keeping the world beautiful
one tree at a time

the sound of a ball
going through the orange rim
it is beautiful

30. If i was a doctor

If i was a doctor, i would be an eye doctor. All i would have to do is give people eye tests, look at and examine their eyes, and tell them what i see. It would be a very easy job to do. The only thing is that it might get boring on the days that i don't have nay patiences because of the long hours. The eye doctor isn't the most crowed place in the world, but as long as i get good money, i wouldn't care about the hours and how many people i get on a daily.

29. Twenty Feet Tall

If I was twenty feet life would not be good. i would not be able to go into most places because i wouldnt be able to fit. I wouldnt be able to get with any girls because i would be too tall. The only thing i could do is play basketball because of my height. I would not like to ever be that height because i feel that it would be very depressing.

28. Describe one thing you're good at

I am really good at playing basketball. It is a talent, but i work very hard at it to be good. I have been playing since i was a little kid and i will continue to play for the rest of my life. I play varsity basketball for Inglewood High School, and i am in the starting 5. I was in it last season too. At my previos school, University High School, i was in the starting 5 there too.

27. Invent a new kind of sandwhich

My sandwhich would be called The Smooth Sensation. On the sandwhich it will have bbq sauce on the bread, lettuce, swiss cheese, cooked sliced turkey breast, tomatoes, black olives, cucumbers, and to top it of, thousand island dressing. This sanwhich will be made different every time because it would be a suprise.

26. Time you won something

I was awarded with making All-Ocean Leage. I won this award by working hard and playing very well during the 09-10 basketball season for Inglewood High School.

25. Superpower

I would like to have the ability to fly because i could go places that no other person could go. I would be able to fly to places without having to wait to get there. I could take a person with me too. With my powers i would also be able to pull pranks on people and be able to get away with them alot easier than now.

Free write-Do yo remember...

Do you remember when we were all freshman? We all wanted to be seniors. I know that i though i would take forever for those years to pass and i would be graduating. Now that i look back, those years have flew by. I remember my first day of high school, and now, in less than a year, i will have my first day of college. I will be independent, and i am ready for it.

Free Write-The first thing i want in the morning..

The first thing i want in the morning is food. I wake up very hungry. it doesn'y matter how much i eat that night. when i go to bed and wake up it feels like i havent eaten in days. Eating makes me very happy, and fulfilling my hunger makes me even more happy because i know i have a good meal in my system afterwards.

Free Write- In this dream i was...

In this dream i was a super hero. I had the ability to run very fast, jump very high, and had super strength. One day the city was getting attacked by a big montser and it was destroying everything. I used all my powers but it still wasnt enough. I called for the help of a couple friends with super powers. We all combined our powers and took the monster down. It was amazing. The city was very happy. As soon as i was about to get my award, I woke up...

I am Poem

I am silky and smooth
I wonder if i am misunderstood
I hear non-sense alot
I see sucess
I want to have it all
I am silky and smooth
I pretend I am ruler of the world
I feel that i am the best there ever was
I touch grey skies
I worry about my future
I cry if it is needed
I am silky and smooth
I understand that the world is full of suprises
I say that the sky is the limit
I try to be a good person
I hope i can be all I can be
I am silky and smooth
