Assignment#7: My Self-Value

 Everyone has their jealous days. Everyone can say they’re not jealous but everyone has a green monster in them. I always thought I wasn’t going to be the jealous type when I had a boyfriend. At first I wasn’t but then I started to get more feelings for him so I started to get more jealous. When we would be together I didn’t even like for him to say hi to girls, I never said anything I just kept it in. and now I think I’m even more jealous because my boyfriend doesn’t even come to the same school as me, he goes to a different school. I didn’t want him to go to another school because now I don’t know what he’s doing or who he’s talking to. So many things run thru my mind it drives me crazy sometimes. I try not to let it get to me and it works sometimes but not all the time. I don’t like having to be the jealous one but sometimes when you really love someone it might just be worth it at the end of the day because we’re both still together and stronger.

 Being jealous of someone doesn’t make you any better than them. All its pretty much saying that you want to be like them or you feel like you have competition against them. Girls are jealous get jealous about everything, just cause they don’t have big boobs or a big butt, maybe even cause they don’t have the boy that they like. We girls get jealous about the stupid little things that don’t even matter to people.

 Try not to be the jealous one and help other people not be jealous either. Tell them it’s not worth it. Because if you get too jealous you could probably, most likely get into some problems with other people. So if you have a little sister or little brother you be the bigger person and don’t let them see that you are a jealous person, cause every little sister wants to be like the big sister and if she sees that you get jealous she’s going to think its ok for her to get jealous.

 So don’t be jealous and put everything aside and be happy don’t think about what the other girls look like everyone is their own person and there is no reason to be jealous of someone just cause you want to be exactly like them.

Assignment #12: The Black Cat

The whole point in the story “The Black Cat” was just a message to other people saying that violence isn’t the answer to anything violence doesn’t solve anything. You may be mad or angry inside or at someone. But you DON’T have to go out and hit or hurt someone, because all your really doing is hurting yourself. Use words to say how you feel. You don’t have to hurt someone to feel better. Just because your mad and you want to hurt someone does not make it ok. Just imagine how that person feels. What if that was you and some one just went up to you and punched you how you feel? You might feel better cause you hit someone but deep down you know it wasn’t the right thing to do and you feel guilty.

Assignment #10: Bullying

I think everyone has been bullied at least one time in their life. I know I have. When kids get bullied its not always at school, it could be at home by older siblings. I say that because I used to get bullies by my older cousins they would always pick on me and make me cry. They would make me feel so left out I hated it.

 Once I got to middle school the bullying started all over again. The girls that picked on me were way bigger then I was. There was three girls an I am not going to lie I was scared I even used to eat in the counselors office with my other friend. There was days where I didn’t even want to go to school I was scared that if I even looked at them they would hurt me. One time the girls had even told me that they knew where I lived and that they were going to follow me home and jump me. That day I stood after school because I was scared that they were really going to jump me.

 I told my mom and she wanted me to tell the counselors, the principal, and the teachers. I didn’t want to because I didn’t want to be the rat of the snitch. But I know if I said something it would stop, but at the same time I thought things would get worse because I told on them. So I just decided to tell the counselor and she said that everything was my fault she pretty much took the others girls side so now it was pretty much like four against one. I told my mom what happened and she got mad she was so mad that she wanted to switch me schools because she didn’t want anything to happen to me.

 On the second of the last day of 8th grade the girls came up to me and said they were sorry for everything and that they felt bad. I didn’t want to talk to them because I was so mad at them cause they picked on me for 3 years and pretty much on the last day of school they say sorry? What took them so long to say sorry, I just didn’t trust them after that but I didn’t have to deal with them anymore so that was the only good thing.

 This is my experience with bulling.

Assignment #9

This is Fabio. I met Fabio when I was 13. We ran into each other at Wal-Mart . I was going to go try on some clothes and Fabio happened to be in the dressing room. No one knew he was there, I wasn’t sure if I should tell my mom. So what I did was I got some baby clothes to dress him as if he were a little baby. So I was waling around with him, holding him as if he were a baby.

 I happened to run into my mom and she had asked who I was carrying. All I said was his name is Fabio and I walked away. We went to the car to wait for my mom and she noticed Fabio in the back seat and I told her that he was an ailen. She looked at me as if I were crazy. So I took the baby cloths off of him and she didn’t know what to say.

 So she let me take him home I wasn’t sure what I was getting my self into by bringing home an alien. So we all got to my house and we sat him on the couch and just looked at him, like what are we going to do with this alien? My mom and I decided to keep him in our house.

 We even made his own room. Fabio was like the little brother that I never had. It was fun he talked like a regular person he acted like a regular person he did everything like he was a regular person. Fabio lived with us for about 7 years I was 18 when he moved out. Well he didn’t really move out his reak parents came back for him.

 Fabio didn’t want to leave cause he had gotten so comfortable at our house. When his parents had came for him he introduced my mom and I to them. He said he didn’t want to leave but he had no choice.

 His parents told him that my mom and I could move back to Mars with them, and that was the only way we woyld be able to keep in touch with each other. Then my mom said well how bout he can come down every other weekend and the weekend that hes not here we’ll go to mars?

 So they agreed they agreed! We all kept intouch. We were pretty much one big family. We all got together every holiday. Thanksgiving was the best holiday for all of us. We all got together at my house there is at least more then 20 of us for thanksgiving. But we are all one big happy family!

Book Report

  The book that I currently finished reading was “The Lovely Bones”. Im sure you have seen the movie, but the book is nothing compared to the movie. The little girls name is Suzie. She was only 14 years old when her neighbor killed her. In the movie he traps her into a club house ha created just to murder Suzie. In the book it goes into detail. The book says that he raped her and he cut her up into pieces with a razor blade. The movie does not show that. Her dad tries to find out who killed his daughter. He doesn’t find out till the end when he goes over to the neighbors house and he brings up his daughter. And something clicked in the dads head that he was the one who killed his daughter so the dad calls the detective and tells him that he knows it was the neighbor that killed had daughter. And the detective got mad because he shouldn’t have been at the neighbors house in the first place. So now that the neighbor know that the dad knows the neighbor gets his stuff and leaves. The most important thing he took was Suzie’s body. He had it in some safe with every single part of her body. So he goes to a dump and leaves the safe there. The neighbor leaves out of town and tries to do the same to another girl but she didn’t even pay attention to her so she pushed him and he fell off a cliff and died.

  I honestly don’t like the way it ends I wish thy would have caught the guy.

Show And Tell

  For my show and tell I would bring my niece Alina. I would bring Alina because she is the most bubbly little girl she is 4 years old. Alina is never mad she is always so happy, you just cant get mad at this little girl she will make you feel bad by the way she looks at you with her big droopy eyes. She makes everyone’s day in my house. You could be mad at the world and you see this little chunky girl and she just makes you smile. Alina talks so much. You might not be able to understand everything she’s saying but she will just sit there and have the biggest conversation with you, all you have to do is nod your head and she will keep going on. I have three other nieces and don’t get me wrong I love them all they just don’t make me smile as much as Alina does. Alina loves to dance and eat. All you have to do when she’s sad is give her a cookie and she will forget why she was sad in the first place. Well that’s who I would bring to my show and tell.

My Final Essay

   Hi my name is Samantha Nicole Marquez, I am 16 years old and I am a sophomore at Atrisco Heritage Academy High School. My best friends are Irma, Marissa, and Mariah. I have known Irma since I was in the 3rd grade. She now has a little boy named Jovanny; he will be 6 months in the first of June. I have known Mariah since the 6th grade. Mariah and I have been thru a lot in middle school we would be real close then we would hate each other, but now were as close as can be! And last but not least Marissa, I met Marissa at the beginning of my sophomore year. We have gotten so close to each other, we tell each other everything! We are always together and we always know how to have fun! In this essay I will be telling you some of the different things I learned and some things I have been thru at this school.

 I came from El Paso. El Paso is so different compared to over here in Albuquerque. Some El Paso schools are trashed and some are in real good condition, depending on what side of town you’re on. All if my family lived in the lower valley part of El Paso. All my Tia’s and Tio’s went to a high school called Riverside. I some from a family that struggles a lot! Every family has hard times but it almost seemed like my family was always going thru a hard time. My mom, my sister and I lived at my grammas house where my Tia and her 3 kids lived at so there were 8 people living in one small house. You could only imagine how crowded it was. My cousins were always pushing me to do well in school. But once we moved out here to Albuquerque a didn’t care of what my grades were. I slacked off a lot; I was hanging out with the wrong people. I would get in trouble and I never realized how much I was hurting myself and my mom. I just didn’t care.

 I have made a big improvement on my grades and how I act towards school. I care about my grades because I don’t want to be held back a year just cause I wanted to go back to El Paso and be with my cousins. The only way I could go back to El Paso and be with my cousins is if I do well in school and get good grades. I might not have straight A’s but one day I will. I have learned that no matter what you’re always going to have to work for what you want. If you do badly in school just because you don’t care you’re probably going to end up working at some cheap place that pays you 6 dollars an hour. So just do well in school and it will help you later in the feature.

 This year as a sophomore I have learned many different things. I have learned that you’re always going to make new friends so it is ok to lose a couple. I lost a friend this year but it didn’t bother me because I knew that she wasn’t a true friend and I made 2 new friends and they are much better friends then that other one was. My friends and I have been thru a lot together. When someone needs help or if one of us is sad we all knew how to make everything better. We all had our ups and downs and the little fights that last like 10 minutes but we make up and everything goes back to normal.

 I have 2 more years left of high school I’m going to make the best if it and not let anything stop me from what I want to do!
