What is your favorite form of creative expression? If I were to ask you to pick one art that you could best express yourself through, which would it be? Of all the arts, which do you enjoy the most to view or listen to and which do you enjoy most to participate in. Are they the same?

Of all the arts I like to hear music. I would hear rap music, hispanic music, bascilly any time of music except rock. However if I would have a bad day I would like to hear slow music, and I would like to write poetry. When I'm having a good day I like to hear music that would get me all happy. Another thing that I like to is play music I have been playing music since I was in the six grade. I play any time of music, I just play the type of music that expresses the mood that I am in in that certain moment. Most of the time when I'm play music it's whrn I'm down so I like to play slow music, and jazz music. However I just make stuff up when I play music that is expressing my feelings at that certain moment, and other time I hear musc and I try to play a certain piece that I liked from that song.

If you could go back in time and fix three mistakes, what would they be? What would you do differently? Do you believe that fixing these mistakes would change your life today? Describe how. Do you think you would make these mistakes again later on in life?





If I were to be able to go back in time the three things that I would change is that I would try not to brake my ankle, I would try make everything right that I have done bad in the past, and I would try to pratice more in baseball. I think that if I wouldn't have broken my ankle my coach wouldn't treat me the way that he treats me now. I say this because my coach treats me like a son and I don't want that to change. So I think that I wouldn't want that to change, other then that I think that I would want to make everything right because I would get into a fight with my brothers and it would be fist fights and anything that you could think of.

I would want to pratice more for baseball because pratice makes perfect. So if I want to make it to the Major Leagues I got to pratice everyday and I got to work very hader. I say this because you work hard, but there is always somebody out there that is working harder then you. So I don't want nobody working hader then me.

Think about the person you were 5 years ago. Do you believe that you are the same now as you were back then? Do the same things interest you? Do you have the same friends? Do you believe that you will be as you are 5 years from now? Do you think the same things will be important to you? What do you expect to have accomplished by then?


Well five years ago I was very different then what I am today. I use to live in a bad neighborhood and I would do stupid things as well. However after living in Liberty City I moved to Miami Lakes where I am living a very good life. Other than that ifve years ago I was a very quiet person because I moved to Miami Lakes like six years ago and I didn't know nobody. I was also a chubby kid I wasn't fit and skinig how I am now. I was also very small I wasn't as tall as I am now. See I was very different now then what I am now because I was a quiet, lazy, and I didn't want to nothing for nobody. However now I am not quiet but I know when to stop talking, I am not lazy because I am a baseball player even though I played baseball since I was little I was very lazy,and now if I could help somebody I would because back then I didn't care about anybody except me.

Well I basicly have the same friends, but I made new ones because of baseball. I think that I have very different interests, but one never changes and that is baseball. I think that five years from now I would be basicly the same but, more mature and living by myself and doing things that I want to do. Well one thing that is still going to be important to me is baseball because that is what I love to do. Five years from I think that if I'm not in college I'm going to be in the minor leagues working my way up to the big leagues. Other then that I'm going to be living my life.

Read and interpret the following quote by Benjamin Franklin. Describe what you think it means. Do you agree with it, why or why not. Share any experiences that may help you describe your view.
“Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing”
-Benjamin Franklin
(1706-1790)

Well I think that the quote means that you should make a friend when you meet them you should get to know them first them see what type of person they are. I agree with that quote because if you make a friend right when you meet them you dont if they are a bad person if they do bad thing or if they are the type of person that would do things just to mess around. I think that way because sometimes people make friends for the wrong reasons. I think that the slower in change means that in time people would change and if you change just to be there friend you are dumb because you should change for nobody.

Other then that I think that if you make a friend you should know them for a long time because you could just know somebody and say thats your friend , but really that is not your friend. So chose your friends wizely and you would see that you made a very good choose.

As we approach the halfway point in the first 9 weeks, which do you feel is the most demanding of all your classes? Are you finding it difficult to find your footing in school this year? Are you working particularly hard in any one area? How do you feel about the pace of this class so far? Is it meeting your expectations? Do you find it difficult?

Well for me school always starts off the same. It always starts off easy because the teacher never starts the school year hard. I think that this year is hard then all the other years because this year is when you got to start working extra hard if you want to get into a good college, also this is the year that everybody all there SAT and ACT test.

Well I love the pace that this school year is going because because the weeks are going extra fast. This year for me has been goin faster then every other school year. Also I think that in all my classes all of my techers are asking for a lot since I'm in honors classes. So I dont think that this year is going to be that easy because all of my classes are very hard, I love how the school year is going hopefully it stays that way the whole year.

Describe in detail your biggest fear. Do you believe it is something that you can overcome? If so, can you do do by yourself or do you need help? When do you believe that you first acquired this fear? Do you believe that it is a rational or irrational fear? Do you think that it is a common fear or is it something particular to you? Do you parents know about it?


I'm the type of person that doesn't have alot of fears, but my biggest fear is to lose my parents. Alot of people would want to leave the house by the time that they get out of high school and I'm the same way but it would suck that one day they tell you that your parents past away. Just knowing that you would be able to see them again that would hurt because you would always do everything with your parents then once they pass away you could never do nothing with them again.


I think that I would never overcome that fear because they are your parents they are not just a little pet they were the people that took care of you and would do anything for you. I know that i would never overcome that because two years ago my grandmother pasted away and I would never overcome that because you lose somebody that you love and its just like my dad always tells me "You never know what you got untill you lose them". So that is my biggest fear and my only fear.

What do you believe is the most important right you have as an American? If you had to choose one right as being the most important to YOU, which would it be? Why is this the case? What would things be like if this right didn’t exist?


Every American has alot of rights that is what makes use different from every other country. I think my most in important right as a American is to make something of my life. I say that because every time we and as we I mean the young generation they say that we are the future. Also I say that because mostly everybody that we talk to as school they would always say that inorder for that country to be successful we got to to all of are class work because we are the future.

I also think that for me to be a important American I need to do what i think is going to make my future a big success. I know that what I want to do is just a big deam but I think that if I could accomplish my goal I could be a very important American. I also think that most important people in America are the doctors, cops, and firefighters I say that because without doctors we would be sick without cops are streets would be a big miss and without firefighters we wouldnt be safe from fires

What is the definition of being an adult to you? Describe what it means to be “grown up”. Is it just a matter of age? What are some of the characteristics an adult has or should have?





Well alot of people think that the true definition of being grown is just a matter of age but that is not true because I think that you start being grown up when you are mature and when you always know what you are doing. I also think that when you start being grown is when you start paying bills and when you start taken care of yourself. I say that because when you let everybody do everything for you your not being a man. Grown ups dont let people do everything for them they do it there selves.
