Journal 05/07 So I got my haircut on last Sunday, and it looks great! I come to school and Monday and the first thing I hear is, “It’s Justin Bieber!” I should have realized that, that was going to come out of someone’s mouth sooner or later, dumb me. Kids at school, girls, are always talking about me and my hair, so I cut it to make them stop talking about my hair, but that clearly made them talk more. I mean it’s cool to so many girls talking about me, but sometimes I wish that they didn’t, but I have to get used to it, because that is how it’s going to be for the rest of my life, so. While I was at school this past Monday, people were calling me Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, David Beckham, Adam Levine, and I like that I get called Justin Timberlake because he is so successful in life and he makes huge amounts of money! So life is good right now and I hope that it stays that way!

Journal/Reading Log 05/05 What I read today was that when the stranger picked up Josh in the old truck, Josh had made his worst decision in his life. The stranger was driving and all of a sudden, the man stopped, and made Josh get out of the old truck, to beat up Josh! The man was kicking Josh in his ribs and punching Josh in his face and mouth. He lost some teeth, and of what I read, I think he probably broke one or two ribs as well. The stranger took Joshes shoes, his four hundred dollars, his jacket and wallet. Let me add his watch to the list of missing this. But some how Joshes plane ticket, a pair of jeans, underwear and sweatshirt was still there because the man didn’t take it. To me that doesn’t make any since because he took everything else, but the stuff in his backpack. If you are going to rob or beat someone up, you better take everything they have.

Journal 04/28 So this morning my whole entire school was testing. We were testing on either on English, Math, or Science. It was so boring. My class was testing on English, no affiance to Mr. Moss, it was the most boring times of my life. We had to sit there in one spot reading and typing for two and a half hours. I know the adults can do that, but twelve, thirteen, and fourteen year olds, which is torcher to us. We are not use to that at all. But us 7th and 8th graders are going to have to get use to that, huh. My point is that I'd rather take paper tests than online test.

Reading Log/Journal 04/25 Alright so what I read today was that the main character, Josh, didn't have a car to go to Dallas, because he hasn't gotten his driver's license yet. Josh was only going to Dallas to go to his aunt’s house because his mom died. How his mom died was by a big van was running a red light and hitting his mom as she was crossing the intersection on a green. Josh heard it from his house. Josh got invited to stay with some of his friends to go on a three week hiking trip, but he rejected it to go to Texas with his aunt. That’s what I read today for our warm up. I love this book!

Reading Log/Journal 04/24 So today for the warm up I read three pages. In the tree pages I read that the main character, Josh, just got a ride with this a stranger driving on the way, because he didn't have a car and it was raining in the middle of the night. Josh, tries to start up conversation with t6his stranger, but the stranger seem like he doesn't want to talk. But the stranger asked him, “Heading anyplace in particular?” the man asked, and Josh says, “Dallas.” So Josh tries to turn up the radio. But the man turns it down. Since the man turns it down, Josh tried to start up conversation again. Since Josh tried to start conversation, the stranger turns up the radio. I'm starting to really like this book, so far. It keeps leading me in suspense.

Reading Log/Journal 04/23 Phyllis Naylor calls the book that I am reading //Sang Spell//. To me it sees to be a very great book. So far of what I read, this boy named Josh, his car broke down and he had to hitchhike through mountains and dirt roads to find somebody to give him a ride. So he ends up getting a ride from a random stranger, I don't know what his name is yet, the book hasn't told us.

Journal 04/22 So for English I turned in a lot of missing work, and I got my grade up! It didn't go up that much but it went up, from an F to a D. it’s not the best grade in the world. But at least it’s not failing, it is passing. I am not very proud of my work, but at least I'm doing it. Now all I need to do is keep doing my work and turning in everything on time, to get full credit of my work. I still have two F’s but I’m doing everything I can to get them up. I’m staying after school, not playing my Xbox, or acting up in class. I am trying to pay close attention on what my teachers are saying and doing my classwork as well. I feel like I'm doing the right thing, just at the wrong time.

Journal 04/17 So ever since I made that promise to do my homework every night, I've been doing my homework every night. It’s been really great doing my homework for the past three days. I haven’t been for yelled at, and plus I am getting my grades up. I have been getting A’s and B’s on my test and quizzes. I’m getting B’s on my homework too. My mom didn't yell at me or do anything to me. I'm learning a lot of new things and I feel like I'm getting smarter by the minute. I’m getting more privileges for doing my homework every night such as, playing my Xbox until 10:00p.m, using my phone until 9:30p.m, and that’s about it.

Journal 04/14 How I would rate the overall blog posts are a 8.5/10. How I would rate the comments overall is a 6/10, because there were a lot of comments that were not appropriate, and some comments didn't even make any sense at all. our class comments are way more mature, and our class posta have more details and more words.

Journal 03/21 If there was something I could do this week mend, is to go to SeaWorld, & Aquatica. I would want to go there because I haven't been there in a while, and my cousins are coming down to my house this weekend. I only want to go to SeaWorld because of two rides, first Manta, and second Journey To Atlantis, and third Shipwreck Rapids. When you go on these rides, you get soaked. I loved to get wet and have fun, I like to feel the rush of going straight down the rails, and going upside down. I want to go to Aquatica because I have never been there and I heard a lot of good things about it. I heard that there are water slides, and water tunnels. I bet if my family took me, I would have the time of my life. Like I said before, I love to get wet and feel the rush.

Journal 03/20 So this week my P.E class has started a new unite, Soccer. It’s so fun because I choose the best team. We are undefeated and never been scored on. My team consists of four people, Andrew, Javier, Bryan and myself. Bryan actually plays soccer, Javier is sort of fast, Andrew is a great defender, and I am an all around player. I think that Bryan has scored like ten or eleven goals, with like five assist. Andrew had like three goals, with four or five assist, Javier has four goals, with six or seven assist, and I had like fifteen goal, with like nine assist. My team is officially the team to beat!

Journal 03/19 In my English class we were reading the book, //The Outsiders// by S.E. Hinton. Since I do not like to read books, //The Outsiders// book was very good. The book was way better that the movie, because it had more details and was more interesting. I think my favorite character was Darry, because he was the oldest and was tough. Anyway, my English class had to write a one to five page sequel to //The Outsiders.// I haven’t done yet, because I have a lot of stuff to do, and because I am very lazy. I know I am going to do it so yeah.

Journal 03/18 So today all of a sudden my voice starts to go out. Maybe it is because I was yelling at my teammates to pass me the basketball at lunchtime, or it is because I am getting sick. I hope I am not getting sick, but if I am, then I guess I will have deal with it. When I get sick, my mom makes me stay inside all day and night and I do not get to do anything the whole time. I have to do chores, which are not that big of a deal. My mom makes me do all of her things for her because she is lazy and makes me do everything. I mean she does some stuff, but that is like taking my siblings and me to school, or buying us food.

Journal 03/17 Ok so ever since the first day of school, the students haven't liked our principle, Mr. Klein. I don't know why, he doesn't do anything. Last month we found out that we were getting a new principle. All the kids are happy that he is leaving. Still to this day I haven't figured out why they don't like him. Anyway, we got a new principle today (03-17-14) and it’s a girl. She is like 60 years old, I think, and seems nice. I mean all older people are nice, right. Yeah I think that I will like her, as a principle, because of how she act’s and because of or some odd reason, older people seem to like me. That’s weird.

Journal 03/14 So today I got my progress report, and I'm either getting grounded, getting my phone taken away, or I’m getting my X-box taken away. If I do I will be super mad, but I deserve my punishment. I got one A, one C, one D, and two F’s. I am so mad at myself for getting such horrible grades, but I'm just not feeling school right now. My GPA (Grade Point Average) is at a 1.50. My citizenship is at a 2.33, that not that good at all. I can definitely get a 3.5 or even a 4.0, but I choose not to because I don't like school, or the homework. The homework is super boring, but it’s only like writing a paragraph, or doing IXL. Those are so easy right; well it’s boring to me. I wish that my teachers would make our homework more fun, but they have no choice. The school, district makes our homework for the teachers to give to us. I’m sure that I will be getting a lecture from my parents about my grades, but I can't blame them for my mistakes at school. I’m going to do my best so I can show that I'm smart enough.

Journal 03/11 English is so boring. All we do is read and write all the time. I guess we need reading and writing in our lives, but it bores me to death. That’s why I do so poorly in this subject. English has always been my worst subject because of what I just told you. I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one in my family that hates English, and wish we didn't need it. But I know that’s it’s good for me and I need it, but it sucks. I’m sorry I don't like your class, Mr. Moss, but it’s so boring.

Journal 03/10 Well since I don't like to read, I liked //The Outsiders// book way better that //The Outsiders// movie. The movie had horrible graphics and some of the things that the movie had they weren't in the book. The book explained everything better, and it was much more interesting.

Some of the things that the movie had in common with the book were that Johnny died because he got burned. Dally still died because the police shot him. Another thing that was still the same was that the church had burned down.

But on the other hand, the book and the movie had some differences too. On difference was that when the kids came up to Sodapop and ask him for some money. Another thing was that the movie had different then the book was that Ponyboy got jumped.

Journal 03/03

I’m trying to do my best to get my English homework turned in. My grade in my English class is at an F; it’s like a 54%. I stayed up about three days ago finishing my missing assignments from my English class. If you know me, then you should know that I don't like the subject, English. It bores me to death and I was never interested in it ever in my life. So I went out to breakfast with my oldest sister, she is nineteen, and she was talking about like how no one ever talked to her about how important school was, and that you use English everyday. Like reading and writing. So I really listened to her and I realized that I should be confident in English class and that I should use my smarts in school. I can get an A, no problem, but I choose not to, and ignore doing homework.

Journal 02/27 I’m just a normal thirteen-year-old boy that every girl likes. At the beginning of the year, there were two girls that liked me in my history class. Then when some kids got their schedules changed, two more girls were put into my class. So there’s four girls that like me I'll name them, Laura, Amaya, Marla, Hayley. That was already enough for me, and I had enough of it. I was about to change classes. That was pushing it for me. Now another girl changed classes on purpose, just so that she could see me more than she already does. Her name is Makayla. She is annoying. Makayla always tells on me, but yet she still likes me, I don't get it. So now that she is in my class, I'm really starting to think about changing my classes. Only to get away from all the drama, that they cause over me. They are always fighting, and yelling about me. All of what they do is very annoying.

Journal 02/26 So today my third period P.E class had to run the mile. I love to run the mile because running is my favorite thing to do. I play football and soccer, so I'm pretty fit, and athletic. I finished first and I was very tired. I think it took me about six minutes and twenty seconds. I was way ahead of my class and I was running with the eighth graders. I asked my teacher if I could go and get a drink, and to eighth graders was walking towards me. They said, “ Aye seventh grader, what was your time?” I replied, “Leave me alone I probably ran faster than you and got a faster time.” They probably never heard that one before. They shut up really quick. The look on their faces was priceless. Anyway, I was walking back to my teacher ask her what my time was. She didn't know, but she wrote it down. While I was asking her, a big group of kids ran up to her. She said, “I told you not to come to me in a big group, and she told them that they were going to have to run the mile again next week. All of the kids go so mad. I was laughing my butt off.

Journal 02/25 So in my sixth period class we are making movie from start to finish. My class is called Exploring Computers. There are both seventh graders and eighth graders. Exploring Computer is probably my favorite class so far in the school year. It’s still Mr. Moss teaching, but he doesn't really do anything. Exploring Computers is very fun. My movie is about these two friends having a close friendship, and one friend turns his back on the other friend and starts to bully him with some other friends. I think my movie is coming out great so far. I'm almost done shooting it, and my cast is awesome. There are good actors, and I like to be around people I know, that is are why I picked them to be in my movie. I am probably going to get an award for this move and hopefully get some money too. I know that movie is going to turn out just as I wanted it to.

Journal 02/24 So I found out that another student named Aisha, lives two three down to me. It comes to find out that we lived next to each other for three and a half years. She moved in, when a house two doors down from me burned to the ground. It’s a pretty nice house. Well my little cousins came over this weekend, and I told them that I knew one of my friends lives in the house three doors down. So two of my cousins went over to her house and started to yell her name, “Aisha! Aisha! Aisha!” I had no idea why they would do that to me, because they are five, and four years old. I should have been thinking when I told them. Anyway, she came out and she saw me because I was playing with my little cousins. She waved at me and I waved back to her. We are really great friends and she was very happy to see me. I think that’s cool that we live right next to her.

Journal 02/19 I was playing with my brother and cousins when they came over last Friday. I have to say, that was probably one of the best times I had ever had with them. My cousins are a little bit older now and they are starting to get things more clearly and understand more now because they are older. We were playing in the street with a Nerf football; the one’s that make the noise, and I almost got hit by a car. I was scared for my life because the car was like 10 or 15 feet away from me. I made the driver scared because he almost hit me and because he was old too. My brother wasn't so scared because he knew that I was going to get out of the way, but he got scared. My cousins were calling for me to move out of the way. They were super scared out of their pants. That made me realize that I didn't have to catch the ball every time. I learned my lesson.

Journal 02/11 When I was about seven or eight years old I got my first xbox 360. About two years later we moved and my xbox broke. It got something called red ring, that’s when the ring of the xbox button goes red. Just about three years later we moved in with my grandma, and got a xbox 360 Kinect for Christmas. My grandma bought me Fifa 14, Madden 13, WWE 2K 14 and Black Opps 2. I got all those for Christmas as well. I play them everyday after I finish my homework. My life couldn't get any better, but only if I had xb ox Live. xbox Live is a feature on xbox, when you can play multiplayer with your friends online.

Journal 02/04 This years Super Bowl was probably the worst Super Bowl in history. The final score was 48-8. The Seattle Seahawks crushed their opponent, the Denver Broncos. The Broncos have one of the greatest Quarterbacks in NFL history, Peyton Manning. He has the number one offence, and the Seahawks have the number one defense in the NFL. The half time shows this year was great. Bruno Mars performed with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They were great together. They gave us a fantastic time and had tremendous energy on the stage. In the fourth quarter, one of Seattle’s best players got hurt. But the overcame that, and came out on top to become the Super Bowl Champs.

Journal 02/03 I got my elective for semester two, Exploring Computers. It’s really fun because some of my friends are in this class, and I sit right next to them. We are working on trying to make short movies. I’m doing a cyber-bullying movie. I’m going to have the best actors that are possible. Mr. Moss just had this great idea so we could make movies. My movie is going to be the best of course. I’m trying to make ideas for my movie; it’s not as simple as you would think. You have to think of what scenes you want in it, you have to have an idea of how long the scenes are going to be. It’s kind of challenging for me. Mr. Moss does his absolute best to help us make our movie a first place movie. It’s definitely the best class I have ever had in my schooling career so far.

Outsiders Quiz 01/31


 * // 1) //** **// Ponyboy says about Darryl, "He's hard as a rock and about as human." Explain this simile. Use other evidence from The Outsiders. //**

This simile explains that Darryl is tough, mean, and that he could beat anybody up. Is also explains that he isn't as smart, that he is as smart as a rock.


 * // 2) Compare and contrast any two characters from The Outsiders (except Darryl). Better essays contain more inference. In other words, it's better to write about that you have to figure out, like personality traits, then to write about something explicitly stated in the text. //**

Ponyboy is different from Sodapop because Sodapop get’s all the ladies and he doesn’t. Ponyboy just likes to do things on his own, and Sodapop is the gang pet. On the other hand Sodapop and Ponyboy are brothers. They’re both are in a gang and are raised by their older brother.


 * // 3) Foreshadowing is when a story gives a hint to what's going to happen next. (Can you think of any examples from a movie or The Pearl?) When Ponyboy tells us "Things gotta get better, I figured. They couldn't get worse. I was wrong." Predict what that might foreshadow? There is no one correct answer, but your reply should make sense in the context of the book and be well written. //**

That is foreshadowing that someone might get killed or that somebody might turn to the other gang. Ponyboy might fall in love with Cherry, and he might leave the greasers, to join the Socs.

Journal 01/28

Yes, you can borrow my car, but you must return it by 11:00 P.M.

Journal 01/27

=== The book, //The Outsiders//, is a very good book by S.E Hinton. It’s about three brothers named, Ponyboy, Darrel, and Sodapop. I think what will happen next is that one of the brothers gets murdered. ===

Journal 01/22 My first semester at I Middle was pretty good actually. I had a lot of fun here. My friends are great, some of them anyway. I liked most of my teacher’s, but they are all good teachers.my grades could have been great, but I just wasn’t trying the best I could have been trying. I am probably going to receive a 2.0 for my GPA this semester. I am not too happy with that and my parents aren't going to happy either. I could of got all A’s but my attitude towards school is just holding me back. There is this girl who won't stop talking to me and staring at me every day, so that is a problem too. But that isn't much of a big deal to me. I am probably going to try way harder this upcoming semester. I feel like I could have got a 3.0 or a 3.5, but I just wasn't doing my best and that’s why I am going to receive a 2.0. I know that my great grandpa wouldn't be too happy about my grade. I am going to get into a lot of trouble when I give my parents my grade for this semester. I am definitely going to try to do my best next semester.

Journal 01/21 If I could go back in time I would want to go to the time when my great grandma was still alive. I would want to do that because I never got to see her to remember her. She saw me, but I was only like 2 month old, so I don't remember her or recognize at all. It would be cool to me because she is my grandpa’s mom and he loved her with all his heart. She died when she was in her 60’s and that is kind of old but kind of young to. I can't say that I miss her because I never met her. That would be the person and time that I would want to go back in time to see so that I knew who was my great grandma.

Journal 01/17 All the girls that want a hug from me are getting really annoying. Everyday they are begging to get a hug from me like Marla, Laura, and Hayley. In the beginning of the year it wasn't that bad but now I am getting annoyed and irritated. I will give some girls hugs but other girls are annoying. Like today, Marla was asking me to give her a hug during 4th period passing period, and now in 7th period too. Laura was asking me to give her a hug in 1st period, and now in 7th period. Now they are mad at me because I won't give them a hug. So now I just say hi, or bye. I won't give them any more hugs. It makes me mad because they are mad at me. You can't feel how I feel so you can't tell when you get annoying. But they are girls, so they don't get much of what we boys say. Anyway girls annoy and irritate me so much.

Journal 01/15 When I checked my grade on Power School, I had good grades. They aren't the best grades, but they are all right. But my English grade I have an F. I don't know why I have an F, oh wait yes I do, It’s because it’s boring. The homework is not hard, but it bores me to death. I don't want to have an F, but that’s why I have an F in my English class. I am probably going to fail this class this semester, but next semester I going to try a little bit harder to get my English grade up, and start to like this class better.

Journal 01/13 I got these fresh PF Flyers for Christmas, and I was so happy! They are like cream and tan. My grandma bought them for me, and I knew I was going to get them. I look great in them and I love them. All my friend liked them, so that was good, and plus they fit perfectly on me. I wasn't sure at the time if they were going to fit because they looked a little small and tight. My mom was going to take my shoes back, but I was like no mom, they fit perfectly. So she wasn't going to take them back after all, so I happy with the shoes I got for Christmas. Now I'm wearing them and the got a little bit dirty, I’m mean a lot dirty. But I thanked my grandma for getting me my fresh PF Flyers, plus they make me run faster and jump higher.

Journal 01/10 Last night I stayed up until about 1:30am finishing my homework for Mr. Mosses English. It seemed like it took forever to finish, bit I got through it and finished my homework. Mr. Moss doesn't like it when we don’t turn in our homework on time so I had no other choice but to finish it. Plus I need to get any points I can get my hands on! But the homework was kind of fun so I liked it. The homework for last night was to read an article called “Should we get rid of Sports?” the article was great but I loved sports way more then some article trying to persuade me to change my mind. Plus I play sports myself, I played sports my whole life.

Journal 01/09 The school day at I Middle should not be extended until 4:00 pm. If the school day extends till 4:00 pm, then you will have more kids ditching school, or even not coming to school. Their parents might have to work late and not come to pick them up, and they might not have someone to pick them up. Kids might get tired of having to stay in school, for most of the day and not have time to have free time when they leave from school. I personally don't like to stay later than I have to because I can finish my homework at home, and then have free time.

Journal 01/08 The minimum driving age should not be changed to 12 years old. It shouldn't be changed because some kids these days are not responsible, or trustworthy. I wouldn't want to drive because I could get into a car accident, and die even. If kids were driving around when they are only 12 years old, and get into an accident, they could die and then the parent has to deal with their son not being there and dying at such a young age. That would suck because we lost a friend or a brother, or even a sister. Anyways the minimum driving age should not be changed to 12 years old.

Journal 01/07 My day in the morning-I woke up today and it was like 7:00 am, which is when I leave to go to school. I thought that I was going to be late to school today. My mom was yelling at me to hurry up and get dressed so I can get to school on time. I got dressed and everything and I was on my way to school. I got to school and I was hanging out with my friends in the morning out in front of the school. It was fun because my friends were making jokes all morning long. That was this morning from earlier today.

Journal 01/06 It’s that time of the year again, Christmas! I had a great Christmas, and I hope you had one too. I was able to see my family, and friends. We all gathered at my grandma’s house, and we opened our presents. I got an xbox 360, video games, some shoes, clothes, a bike, and gift cards too. My cousins got some cool stuff and my grandma go kitchen supplies. I don't think anybody got hurt, but I'm not sure. It was fun because I don't get to see my cousins much, and I was with my family. My dad got a coffee machine, which he wanted for a long time. My mom got some candy and other things too. After all the ruckus, and chaos we all had a great time together.

Journal 12/16 This weekend was probably the best weekend of my life. I say that because I had a football tournament in O.B. at Robb Field. We came in first this year. It’s so important to me because last year my team and I came in third place. We had to play 3 games in one day. The first one at 12:00 am, another at 2:00 pm., and the last one at 3:30 pm, it was crazy. I had a great time playing, and got hurt playing it. But all that matters is if my teammates and I had a good time. We had to win because it is the last year that we were able to play because we were going to be to old. The 6 months of training and exercising was worth it because we got first place in all of San Diego.

Journal 12/10 My favorite class is definitely Gateway To Tech, aka GTT. It is my favorite class because it has a lot of my friends. I sit and they sit near me. It is just awesome. My teacher is Mr. Carmody. He is cool, because he is chill, he tells jokes, and he is smart. I like that class because it’s fun there’s always something to do, and we watch movies and videos sometimes. Mr. Carmody makes me like his class more because of how he is mentally, and physically. He has projects, activities, and substitutes. I like the substitutes, because they are calm and they let us do what we want, sometimes, that’s cool. We can play games if we have finished and turned everything in. we can talk to our friends, quietly. Gateway To Tech, aka GTT is just fun and my friends are in this class. That is why this is my favorite class!

Journal 12/9 My day today was nice. There wasn't any threats, or bullying. Not that I heard or saw anyways. But it was nice. I got to see my friends, and my teachers. They are all nice. But I got to see my three favorite friends. Bryan, Marla, and DeMontre. Marla is in two of my classes. DeMontre is in one of my classes, and Bryan is in on of my classes too. I saw all of them at lunch. We were all having fun at our table. I had a great lunch, which was tortilla chips, and chocolate milk. That was good. Now we are in English class with is the last class of the day. Finally after school is over, I can go to football practice. That should be way more fun than school, and I get to see some more of my friends.

Dialogue 10/14 “Hey Kino, what happened to your baby?” I asked

“Well he got stung by a scorpion.” Kino replied.

“He got stung? How did he get stung by a scorpion?” I asked shockingly.

“Coyotito was playing in his crib, and there was a scorpion on the blanket and he hit the blanket and the scorpion fell and stung Coyotito." Kino said.

“Wow I bet you were scared. Was Juana there?” I asked.

“Yea, but she was terrified.” Kino told me.

Journal 10/30 I favorite movie is Friday. I like the movie Friday because the movie has comedy, and seriousness. Friday is similar to my scary story because there is a problem, and a solution. The problem is that the character Craig aka Ice Cube, is trying to sell something to earn enough money to give to someone. But his cousin Dada was messing everything up, and now the person is trying to kill them both. The solution is that they get rid of the person trying to kill them, and they live.
