If you could be given one skill or ability, which would you want, why would you want it and what would you do with it?

If I were to be given an ability I would want the ability to tell the future. I would want that ability because if I know whats going to happen in the future I would never do something bad at all. Also I would never do something that I know would mess me up on the futue. Also I think that it would be very cool if I could tell the future because I would know what the future holds for me. However at the same time it is bad because then I would know when I pass away or when I have to go to the doctor or if anything were to happen to me as well. Also if i could tell the future I would try to make eveything work in my favor not agaist me that is why I the ability to tell the future.

Write about the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to you. What was it? What made it so frightening? How old were you? Would it be scary again today if it happened again?

Well not that many terrifying things has happened to me in my life, however there was one thing that scared me more then anything in my whole life. It was when I lived in Liberty City I was walking home from the store and when I was working I hear bullet shots I started to run. When I got to the corner of my house a car came behind me and stared to chase me. So I ran inside of my house and somebody knocked on my door and said, "let me in because somebody wants to kill me." When he told me that I didn't open the doorand then I hear a gun shot and a car left after that.

I was about 11 years old when that happened. And what made it so scary is that a man told me that if I don't let him in he was going to die and then I hear a gun shot that was very scary for me. And if it were to happen again I think that it would be very scary because that is a very scary scence.

Write about the most exciting thing that ever happened to you. What was it? What made it so exciting? How old were you? Would it be exciting if you did it again?

The most exciting thing that has ever happened to me was just a couple of weeks ago when I got invited to play in the Chicago White Soxs show case. A show case is like a game where you so what you are made of. What made it very excicting is that it was like the high school all star game so it was very fun. Also two other players from American got invited to it as well so we had lots of fun. Also I was 16 years old when I did that and when I went to go pitch I did good. I stoke out two batters and got the last out myself when the batter hit a little ground ball. So it was very fun and what made it batter is that there were a ton of scouts both college scouts and professional scouts so the next day I got alot of phone calls and I been getting different letters from diferent schools that saw me pitch that day.

If I would have to do it again I would because it was very fun and it puts your name out there for all the scouts could come see you play during the regular season. And if I can I would stroke out that last batter that hit the ground ball to me. However I would do everything that I did that day the same because that day came out perfect. So yer I would do that again.

Do you have chores or jobs that you have to do at home? What are they? Why do you have to do them? Do you like doing them?

Well the thinhgs that I got to do at home is walk the dogs, clean the dishes, wash my clothes, clean my room, sometimes cook, and sometimes babysit. I have to do all of my chores because if not Ill get in trouble and everything that I have to do would be all messy. Other then that I like doing my chores because I like to keep everthing that I own clean because I am not a messy person. Also I like to do my chores because I love to take care of my little brother because he always wants to be with me and I just love being with my little brother.

Also I like to do my chores because if I didnt do all of my chores I wouldn't be a responble person, and I think that I am very responble. So those are the reasons I like doing my chores and everything that I have to do around my house.

What holidays does your family celebrate (like Christmas, Kwanzaa, or Hanukkah)? What do you do on those holidays?

My family celebrates Christmas. Every year we always go either to my house or my uncles or grandmas house. We stay there on Christmas Eve so that we could all have dinner together and so that the whole family could spend time together. We also go to Santa Enchanced Forest every year with the whole family. Other then that I get to see all of my cousins and and family. Then on Christmas day the whole family just hangs otu together.

Another holiday we celebrate is Thanksgiving . On Thanksgiving we have lots of fun because we play game and we eat a lot of food. We also spend the whole day together talking playing games and having fun. We also go out that day so that we could have fun and be together the whole day.

Write about your favorite and least favorite teachers. Why do you like them or dislike them? What can they do to be better teachers in your eyes?


Well this year I like all of my teachers but my favorite teacher so far I would have to say is Mr. Martinez. I say that because he makes the class intresting and fun. Its like every time I have to go to his class I dont mind because time flys fast in that class. Also because I have alot of friends in that class so that makes it fun as well.

The teacher I least like this year is Ms.Usher. I dont like her for one reason and that is because she picks on me for everything. Lets say Im doing my work she would only walk around my table to see what I am doing and she would go sit down like is I was doing anything bad. If we have a test she would only change my seat not nobody elses so she basiclly picks on me every moment of the day she can.

Write about your best friends. Who are they? Why do you like them? What do you do together for fun?


Well I have alot of friends but I only have a certain amount of best friends and they are Chris but we call him Opie, Shannon , James, Darnell and Gio. They are my best friends because we do everything together and we have eachothers back and help eachother if we need help. We do a lot of things together we play baseball together, we work together and we chill and hangout as well. These are the people that I know that I trust the most and that I know would do anything for me if I need them to. And I would do anything for them as well.

I like them because we been friends since I was four years old and we basiclly do everything together. We have lots of fun together and in a time of need they are always there for me no matter what happens. Also we play baseball together that is how we met I think but I know that these are the friends that are going to be my friends forever. Other then that they are very good friends to me and I wouldn't change them for nothing.

Write about a time when you were dishonest. Describe the situation, do you regret being dishonest?


Well all I remember was a day when a girl wanted to go out with me soumewhere and I didn't want to go out with that girl because she is very annoying and I said I was sick and I was grounded and I didn't want to go out with her. So after that she felt pretty bad because she liked me but I didn't like her and she left me alone for the rest of the year. So then I tried to talk to her so that i could make things right but she didn't even want to talk to me she was so hurt that she didn't want to see my face.

Well I really do regret being dishonest because I hurt a person for no reason and if I did go out on a date with her you could never know what could happen I might have liked her and things would have been different. Other then that I think that the next time I would do something like that I would be honest and I would make up a lie just so that I could get away from that person. Cause you never know what you have until you lose it.

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Heroes may seem old-fashioned today. Many people are cynical and seem to enjoy discrediting role models more than creating new ones or cherishing those they already have. Some people, moreover, object to the very idea of heroes, arguing that we should not exalt individuals who, after all, are only flesh and blood, just like the rest of us. But we desperately need heroes—to teach us, to captivate us through their words and deeds, to inspire us to greatness.
Adapted from Psychology Today, "How To Be Great! What Does It Take To Be A Hero?"
Assignment:
Is there a value in celebrating certain individuals as heroes? Plan and write a blog in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.





Well I do think that you should celebrate all the heros theses days because they save peoples lives everyday. Like for examples firefighters they risk their lives everyday to save everybody elses lives. Another examples are cops they are the many people that put their lives in their on hands everyday just getting up to go to work. Like for example lets say there is a bank robbering going on and there are hostages cops do what ever they can to saves that persons lives that even means dieing in the scence. So if we dont celebrate are heros for helping use and letting use live are lifes in peace who will?

Describe the last vacation or holiday you took. what made it special? How long ago did it occur? Does having a fun necessarily have to involve a certain place or certain people? Hypothetically speaking, which would you rather take, a three day holiday spent at home, but with your favorite people to spend with your favorite people in the world, or three days anywhere you choose in the world (all expenses paid), but with no one you really know well.


Well the last vacation I toke was last summer to Dominican Republic. I went with my dad for the whole summer to go spend time with my whole family. It was very fun because I spent time with my family and it was so fun because I hardly ever see my family that lives there so I spent alot of time with all of my Cousins and my brother that lives there. We went to the beach, we went to go play baseball, and we just were having fun the whole summer.

Now if I would have to pick from going on a three day vacation with people that I hardly know or to spend a three day vacation at home but with the three people I know the most. I would chose the vacation at home with the three people I know the most because it would be very fun being on a vacation with people you rather then going on a vacation with people you don't know. I say that because if I would go on a vacation with people I don't know it would be very
