APA use
The way APA is used is very precise. APA format is used to cite authors quotes. Citing a source is giving an author or a book credit for a quote they used. A writer needs to write a source when they use a quote from a book. When using a direct source they need to write the authors name and when it is an indirect source it has to have the book name. A reference is where you found the research from. It is made by typing it on the source page. APA format is used to cite all the direct or indirect quotes in someones research paper.

I Pray for my mom
Last Night I realized that boy's just aren't for me. I'm better off just being there friends than dating them. My mom is really sick and she need's help. I cried myself to sleep just thinking about how much I need her and how much I love her and I don't need any drama from any guys on San Pasqual's campus. I really pray my mom get's so much better. Lastnight someone did something that wasn't funny at all and I don't know what came to mind when he did that. Now I think about leaving S.P.A because I feel like I can't be safe here.

April 29,2010 San Pasqual Academy's Prom
On April 29th was my first high school prom. My date was Marcus Bradshaw and we wore purple. I was excited when we first got there because the hotel was really big and we had waiters that served us. The dinner was really good. We danced all night long and I was excited to see the smiles on everyone's faces. I took lots of pictures with friends and family. On the last song of the night I danced with my brother Jabriel. I was excited when I got to announce the Prince, Princess, King and Queen. Shaeed won King and Tai won Queen. Jabriel won prince and Sarah won princess. After all the dancing I took more pictures inside of the bathroom. The bathroom was really nice and instead of paper towels they had actual small face towels. I thought that prom wouldn’t go so well because everyone would be dancing with everyone’s boyfriend and girlfriend’s but everything went well.

Blog Uses
Since I have began to use the blog I have learned more things on how to use my blog in a positive way. For example, I've learned how to express what I feel and how I feel when I'm bored and when I have no one to talk to I have lot's of things for people to see how my emotions are. I use the blog for killing my stress and just saying whats on my mind. Since I've been intorduced to the blog I've beem using it more than other websites such as Myspace and Facebook. It would be cool if we got to go around our school district tell teachers and princiapls how a blog works and what it useful for.

Buisness Letter
17701 San Pasqual Valley Road
Escondido CA, 92025
April 25, 2010
Principal
Mr. Ron Major
San Pasqual Academy
Escondido CA, 92025
Mr. Ron Major:
I’m writing to ask that you change the rule of kids not being allowed to ride their bikes, scooters, and skateboards to school. I ask that you set up a bike rack where the kids can put their physical activities away during class time. Since you are the principal I would expect you to know that most kid’s daily activities are their life. Not only do they enjoy riding there bikes and skateboards to school but it is an exercise in a different way that the kid’s don’t see.
I would like to see this change occur because kids get their play time activities token away because some adults seem to think it takes away the knowledge in the children’s life. If there was an outside rack for bikes, skateboards, etc then it wouldn’t be such a distraction with our learning. Summer is coming up and it’s very hot. Why walk in the hot sun when you can ride through it.
Thank you in advance for taking my concern into consideration to listen to what I have to say. I appreciate it and I hope that you will see the changes in children’s faces once you allow them to ride to school. I look forward to seeing kids enjoying riding their scooters and skateboards to school with out having to come home being on restriction.
Sincerely,
Shaurice

Wisdom teeth
Today I got 4 wisdom teeth pulled and they hurt really bad. I went into surgery and I don't remember anything at all. I find it funny that as soon as I woke up from my surgery I was really hyper. Melissa kept telling me that I needed rest even when I didn't want to. I told her that I didn't want to be in the house all day because everyone was treating me like a baby and I didn't like it. When I got into the car I went to McDonald's because I thought I would be able to eat and I wasn't so I gave my food away to Amy,Marcus,Becky and Tierra. Amy asked me what was it the bag and I told Her "buga" and she laughed at me and told me I looked like a chipmunk. I have to put gauze into my mouth after every meal to stop the bleeding. I can't brush my teeth with toothpaste so I just dip my toothbrush into mouthwash. Everyone thinks I' m really cute when I can't talk right.

Letter
Dear Daughter,
During my days I’ve learned a lot about internet safety. I want to be a great role model on how to be safe over the internet. First thing to be safe Is to tell me what exactly you want to use the internet for so I can be aware of what your doing and who you are talking to at all times. Second of all If I am not home please don’t talk to any strangers you do not know or who make you feel uncomfortable. If someone is making you feel uncomfortable call me immediately. If a spam pop’s up and requires you to give you your name and personal information don’t even bother to observe it. Click out of it when you know it doesn’t look like a safe website. Don’t invite strangers over if they say they are your friends because not everyone is who they say they are and most of them are just sick.
I’ am not trying to ruin the fun of you being on the internet but it is only because I care for you and I don’t want strangers showing up to my house with out me knowing. Don’t invite strangers over if they say they are your friends because not everyone is who they say they are and most of them are just sick. To help you I will give you examples on what could happen if you don’t follow internet safety rules. You could post a picture and send it to the one who “cares” for you and this person can send your picture all over the internet and he/she wouldn’t be the only one saying he/she cared for you.
If you feel like you want to run away or you feel like you need someone to talk to. I will always be here for you when you and we can talk about anything. I care so much about you and I trust that you will listen to what I ‘m telling you and see that I do care for you and there is no reason to run away from your problems. If you need a friend or a supervisor to talk to then don’t be afraid to say what’s on your mind. It’s a good thing to hear you say how you feel about all of the stress and drama you have in your life.

Earthquake
Yesterday when I was walking, I felt a random earthquake. I said “feel what?". I stopped walking to see what she was talking about. It was an earthquake that I had never felt before. I didn't know what to do so I just stood next to very tall glass doors and my staff yelled at me to move away from them because they could have collapsed on me. I ran home to see if my house was ok and all the pictures on my wall fell down. Blanca and I were laughing and were making fun of our reactions.
Read about it here.

Don't beat around the bush
Sometimes I really hate when people beat around the bush and are so fake. It's really hard to be nice when all they do is lie to you.Sometimes I just can't take it anymore and I blow up.Maybe I should choose the right friends.Fake people make them selves seem so real so you never know they are fake until you get to knolw them.

Cyber Safety
If my friend confided to me that he/she is thinking about meeting a person that he/she "met" online. I would tell them "Just because you say you know this person and you think you can trust them doesn't mean they are who they say they are, and that doesn't give you the right to mistreat your self by letting them get into your head". Not everyone has the mind of a good person. You and only your self can prevent and help protect your identity by not giving out your personal information.

Family Expectation Can influence Chlidren
The river sang to the earth
The moon of the farm along the river were men of the moon
The sun was good;men of the llano were men of the sun
Then I don't havve to be a Luna or a Marez,I can be both
No,my father agreed that's not the way of our people

Rhyme Zone Poem "A Brand new day"
Rest your head and close your eyes
Everything will be okay
For when you wake with the sweet sunrise
It will be a brand new day
Turn down the lights and pull me close
Feel only the beating of our hearts as we lay
For when you wake with the soft morning breeze
It will be a brand new day
Relax your body and touch my soft hair
Let all life's worries melt away
When you wake with the summer scent
It will be a brand new day
The rhyme scheme of this poem is ABABCADAEAFA

Still I Rise
You may write me down in historyWith your bitter, twisted lies,You may trod me in the very dirtBut still, like dust, I'll rise.Does my sassiness upset you?Why are you beset with gloom?'Cause I walk like I've got oil wellsPumping in my living room.Just like moons and like suns,With the certainty of tides,Just like hopes springing high,Still I'll rise.Did you want to see me broken?Bowed head and lowered eyes?Shoulders falling down like teardrops.Weakened by my soulful cries.Does my haughtiness offend you?Don't you take it awful hard'Cause I laugh like I've got gold minesDiggin' in my own back yard.You may shoot me with your words,You may cut me with your eyes,You may kill me with your hatefulness,But still, like air, I'll rise.Does my sexiness upset you?Does it come as a surpriseThat I dance
like I've got diamondsAt the meeting of my thighs?Out of the huts of history's shameI riseUp from a past that's rooted in painI riseI'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.Leaving behind nights of terror and fearI riseInto a daybreak that's wondrously clearI riseBringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,I am the dream and the hope of the slave.I riseI riseI rise.

Christmas Vacation
My writer’s vacation was not as exciting as I thought it would be. At first I was really excited to go and see my little sister. When I got there I got a little home sick and I was missing all my friends. I called them every day to see how they were doing and too see how much they missed me. I started to relax and tell myself that everything r be ok. I started to have fun and make myself feel at home. Christmas came around and I couldn’t wait. I got to open one present on Christmas Eve. I got to excited and opened my presents on Christmas Eve. After I went to a party for New Years Eve I threw a party. I had an experience I never thought would have.

Family Bond(Knott's Soak City)
Every year my family has a family reunion or some type of trip. A couple years ago at the age of 12 my oldest cousin took my sister Sharay,my two cousin's Tyece and Danika and I to Knotts Soak City on an early saturday morning. It was a really long ride from where my cousin lived so I feel asleep on the way there.I was really excited but shy at the same time because there was lot's of people and I thought they would be watching me in my bathing suit.After we waited in a really long line it was all worth it.It was even funner when we didn't have to have adult supervision.The first place I went was The Wave Poo. The wave pool is this really big pool that has lots of floater's for everyone.The pool started off at about two feet and on the other end was nine feet deep.About every 15 minutes automatic waves would come on.As I was in the floaty,the waves sent me flying on top of people and into the water.I started to get bored with the pool so I went to The Pacific Spin.The Pacific Spin is a really big pink and yellow tunnel.You need to stand in a really long line for a floaty,ten walk up lot's of stairs before you could reach the top.I finally reached the top.Tyece,Danika,and I got into our floaty and the person staffing the ride pushes us down a really long tunnel and before I knew it I felt were going round and round as if we were being flushed down a toilet and we ended up in a pool full of floater's.The line wasn't worth the ride so I went back to the Wave Pool.I ate lunch and started to dry off because it was getting really dark and cold out side.I went home and took a really long shower.

2010!
In 2010 I plan to keep my grades up and stay focused in school.I plan to stay out of drama and stay out of trouble.I plan to take responsibility in my consequence's and in jobs given to me.I will change my attitude and not hold grudges against people.My goal is to go the whole entire year with out getting on 2 hour or any kick outs.I hope to get at least a 3.0-3.5 this year.I hope to become more quiet because everyone knows me as loud.I hope to become the girl that has most improved and changed since the the start of 2010. 2010 I will be more than what I was in 2009.I will show everyone not to expect me as class clown this year.
