“Through the Tunnel” Analysis Paragraph



I do find it somewhat convincing that Jerry takes a risk and survives from what he did. There are so many dangerous things that Jerry did, but he took caution before he jumped in the water. It is not like he decided oh since there are boys that are jumping from rocks then I'm going to jump from rocks. He first went to see the water and how it was and the rocks, and then he took steps everyday to learn how to hold is breath in the water for a long time. I just find it a little convincing because little kids and people are curious and they are going to want to wonder and find out what things are and what they are used for.

“Through the Tunnel” Prove Yourself Paragraph

I had a time in my life where I felt I had to prove myself by achieving something challenging or difficult. That was when I was in the ninth grade and it was already fourth quarter and in order for me to go to the next grade and not fail I needed to get good grades and a high GPA. My goal was to get a 3.0 or higher before I went to the next grade. I had to work really hard, be on time for school, study for quizzes and tests. Also I needed to have faith in myself and not just in others. As soon as the report cards came out I ran home and waited for 2 seconds to open my report card. When I opened my report card I looked at my GPA and I had a 3.0 exactly I was just so stoked, and proud of myself that I reached my goal. After looking at my report card I felt good knowing that I reached my goal myself and I can do whatever my mind and soul tell me to do. Know looking at my GPA I can do better and get a higher 3.0 GPA than before. I have confidence in myself knowing that nothing at all can stop me from reaching my goal.

House symbol paragraph





Family represents Girls one in my opinon because we are a family and we stick together. Even though my house may argue or get mad at eachother we still work together have eachother back and we stick together as one. Family also represents my house because evreybody's different and they have their own experiences. So by my house coming together and sticking together we know how evreybody works and what they are like not only in the inside but the outside which is a great experience. To most people a family represents a person that you known for a long time. But to me a family is not just a person that you known for a long time it's a whole as one that struggles together and sticks together and will not let eachother down.

Third Quarter goals

My greatest accomplishment of 2010 was getting a good grade on my reform essay that I did in English this year with my partner. The way I achieved getting a good grade on my reform essay is by paying attention in class about the directions and the expectations. My partner also helped me reach the point where I needed to be to get a great grade. I also took time out of my day to have staff read over the essays and help me fix any mistakes that I had in the essay. I had faith in myself that I would be able to get it in on time and I did and I felt great about it.

My goal for this quarter is to keep a 3.0 and A’s and B’s and at least one C. I would reach my goal by going to school and to all my classes and learn everything that I need to learn this year. I will also ask an adult or a peer to help me out on anything that I need help on. Last but not least I will have faith in myself to reach my goal.

Winter break Narrative

My most memorable day for winter break was in Texas on New Year's eve. My sister and I spent time together for the first time of the two weeks I was there for my winter break. We first stayed at home and cooked and danced and listened to music. While we are at home listening to music the ma noodle that my sister had on the stove cooking was boiling up to the top. So I told my sister and she said that the bubbles were floating to the top and the ma noodle is not cooked thoroughly. She came back in the living room and continued to dance and have a good time. I thought to myself this is the first time my sister ever payed attention or thought I was there.

It was almost time to get the ma noodle and pour it in a bowl to take to my grandmas house and spend a little time with them before I left to go back home. When we got the ma noodle and poured it in a bowl it was time to go to my grandmas house and so my sister and I was getting ready to get into the car and leave, until I forgot something and so I went in the house to go get my phone charger. I came outside and got in the car and we were on our way to my grandma's house. As soon as we got to my grandma's house I was carrying the bowl and I almost dropped the bowl because I had alot of other things in my hand and I had to open the door by myself.

After my experience with my sister having fun and spending time with my family was the most memorable thing that I have done while I was on my winter break. I have notice that even though I had fun two days out of the fifteen days I was there with family from the start of the New years.
