My goals for the future is for me and my girlfriend to go to UCLA together or go to NYU. We are still deciding. I want to major in Science Technologies. I plan to get my masters, and hopefully get a great job with in that. I believe that some experiences like form previous schools helped me like with my study habits. I need to work on keeping my grade up, and make sure that they stay up and don't get to comfortable thinking everyhings okay. My brother, my girlfriend, my foster parents & my friends can help me achieve my goal by being there to support. I believe I can achieve my goals, but I still have my doubts, I just need to stay confident.Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833203367295968825.post-42416760132926891742012-06-13T06:57:00.002-07:002012-06-13T07:03:21.407-07:00End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School AchievementMy greatest High School Achievement for me would be when I got a 3.5 at Lincoln High School, for my first semester. Our 4th period teacher Mrs. Seckington (homeroom) was passing out our grades, and she said only a few actually did well this semester. I had a lot of problems going on at home, and some of the time I would be late on things, or wouldn't be able to come to school. My last name is Williams so I had to wait last to see if I was one of the few that did good, and when she called my name and I saw her smile and her face light up, I knew that my grades were good. Another reason that was an accomplishment because when I showed my adoptive mother for once in her life she said she was proud, and she didn't hit me. Like that made me feel like I actually did something to make her happy, and make myself happy. This incident hasn't really changed me, because that's the last 3.5 I had, but I know I can get better, I just need that motivation back. There is not really no one I need to make proud of me right now but myself.Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833203367295968825.post-6035491666686993992012-06-12T09:50:00.001-07:002012-06-12T09:55:28.964-07:00Portfolio - ImprovementOver the past 2 years, I don't think that I have improved that much. My skills have always been great for my grade level. I've never really had low grades coming up. So I believe my skills have stayed the same, but myself as a person I believe has changed. Some good, and some bad. Now I'm quick to make sure I'm around the right people, and stay out of things I don't need to be involved in. I stand up for myself more, and I don't let people push me over, and I'm nice to an extent. Myself as a person has improved, but academically, I'm basically still the same.Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833203367295968825.post-47698760397129094552012-06-11T09:55:00.001-07:002012-06-11T09:57:25.472-07:00My Educational Experiences<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 20px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Due to my educational experiences, I am currently very caught caught up in school and my credits and everything except for 2 classes which can easily be made up. I went to a good elementary school, and an excellent High School. I had a 4.0 through out my middle school, years, and had a 3.1 -3.5 Freshman year. In elementary school and Middle school I was always on the Honor Roll and it made me feel proud that I had good grades, and a lot of people recognized me for it especially at church. This year is not so good, but I am getting caught up and learning at a regular pace. To make sure that I'm successful in High School I will always check to see if my grades are up to par.</span></span></span><br />

Coming here was very difficult for me because I had to leave all my old friends, my old school, my old life and drop everything to come here. At San Pasqual they teach very differently from a regular high school. I was supposed to take A.P. Euro history this year and couldn't take it because they don't offer it. They don't offer a lot of thing. I'm still not use to this kind of atmosphere with going t school with people, and live with them as well. It's hard sometimes to get my grades up, because I can never like study because I live here, and there's so much commotion.. This has changed me, now because it makes me more stressed then what I used to be.Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833203367295968825.post-41321706812417810702012-06-04T10:04:00.002-07:002012-06-04T10:04:55.731-07:00Personal Changes Blog ParagraphWhen I was a freshman I was very dependent with like plenty of friends, and we did everything together like no one was never left out. Me and my best friends went everywhere together, mall, beach, movies. It's like I couldn't do anything by myself. This year I think i'm more independent. This year I only had one best friend, one person I was usually around the whole time. Me and Ronnie were together most of the time but still gave each other space when they needed it. Last year I was more naive and when anyone wanted me to do something I did it, just because I thought it was cool. I never vouched for myself, and would let people push me over even if I knew they were wrong. I would never speak up for myself, I went with the flow. One of my friends named Demarcus treated me however he wanted and I never said anything to him, because I didn't want to lose our friendship. This year as a sophomore I spoke my mind and I let my voice be heard, and didn't let anyone talk to me the way they wanted to.<br />

I believe that if we do have a consenquence, then restriction should be the only one. Restriction means that you can't go anywhere. So i'm fine with that. But I need my electronics & it's very important to me.

The first reason is that all humans deserve to be treated equally no matter shape or size. Working in a sweatshop means that you dont have a CONTRACT , which is unfair because they are already struggling as it is and they can get fired at any given time. The second reason is that its hard LABOR the do more work then average people for low pay. Not to mention that they get beat as well. My last reason is that these workers APPLY so much into working because they can;t get another job and its the best that they can get. I believe that all workers should be treated fair so thats why I think sweatshops are a violation of humans rights.Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833203367295968825.post-4209124087391172172012-05-15T07:00:00.001-07:002012-05-15T07:00:23.882-07:00Academic Update Blog ParagraphMy career goal is to be a Computer Engineer. I will achieve these goals, by of course atleast trying to get a 3.5 , I know that I can't have D's or F's or colleges won't want me. I know I still need to look online to see the precise career that I want, and what colleges offer those programs. This job involves math, which I hate but also to have an eye for designing.

Then everyone started to take group pictures and Me and Jen hid because we didn't wanna be in them. We got to the starfish and started to eat a little and take more pictures. Then we got inside and they were playing mellow music and we were filling out the superlatives and stuff. Then a lot of people started to dance, I mostly stood by the fish until my favorite song Turn Up The Music by Chris Brown came on.Then I just walked around with Brandon & Jen eating strawberries and drinking punch for the rest of the night.Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833203367295968825.post-44420634183044611462012-05-04T07:13:00.002-07:002012-05-04T07:13:34.561-07:00JCCS Academic Language Written Assessment Week 33<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think American students are<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #3f1900;"><span style="line-height: 24px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> falling behind academically compared to students in other countries. There are kids in other countries who are very smart and know what goes on here as well as there. Us as America in whole don't have the technology that other places may have, so that's another reason we are behind. COMPARED to kids that live in China, us here in America only go to school 5 days a week, while they tend to go for 6 days. Also DATA can prove that a lot of kids who come from different place are a bit smarter academically. Like Tota for example. She came from Iran, and when she got here, she spoke 3 languages, got A's in her classes, and I asked her why she was so smart, she simply explained that everything that we're learning she has already been taught when she was younger. America is not all the way behind for students in our RANGE. But when you put other countries in it, we could be better. That's why American students are falling behind in Academic.</span></span></span></span>Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833203367295968825.post-2777947567429324572012-05-01T07:14:00.002-07:002012-05-01T07:14:35.079-07:00Ironic Story Blog ParagraphOnce upon a time, there was a couple named Aubrey and Jade. Aubrey was an upcoming rapper, he was getting into different projects and meeting new people and he was gaining more popularity as a person, he was still with his girlfriend. In fact he was madly in love with her. Jade on the other hand was a wedding planner, and Aubrey hoped that one day he could marry her because he loved her so much. He was going to propose in a month with some flowers and a ring. He thought to himself "It's ironic because my mother was a florist and that's how she met my pops, and not their garden is enormous. "Ironically she said that HIS life was too much and decides to move to Atlanta.

The first reason is that if the child did the damage, they take care of the child so the child is already their responsibility anyways. The parents need to ACHIEVE better parenting if your kid is going around damaging other peoples property. So anything that they do is reflected on the parents. The second reason is that if a child is in a store with their parent and they break something the parent has to pay for it so why cant the same rules apply for vandalism? I'm pretty sure parents can COMPUTE on why they would have to pay for that. My last reason is it would be respectful to pay for something that your child destroyed SPECIFICALLY if its private property. Children don't have any business to ruin something that isn't theirs. So the parents have to pay. That's why parents should be held responsible.Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833203367295968825.post-66268102828228781972012-04-17T07:05:00.000-07:002012-04-17T07:09:52.907-07:00Spring Break Blog ParagraphThe most memorable day of Spring Break was when I went to Belmont Park with Girls 3 and learned how to ride a bike. At first I just rode my scooter since I didn't know how to ride a bike. My leg started to hurt and I was falling behind everyone so I decided to learn how to ride a bike.

Means, just that. We could have all been in that position. Growing up in a black community where I see people wearing hoodies all the time, and always walking back from the liquor store it's a normal thing. Trayvon Martin was a typical teen just walking down the street, minding his own business then someone shoots him. That has to make you think. Why did he get shot? He wasn't armed. Because he had skittles & an Ice Tea. He didn't assault Zimmerman at all, because he was on the phone with his girlfriend. The "reason" was because he was Black & had an on an hoodie, and all of a sudden if you are either one of the two, or both. You are a threat to someone.What gives a person a right just because someoe looks "suspicious" to take out a gun, pull the trigger and a bullet comes out and ENDS a teenage life, that can never be tooken back.?

The first reason it should be ADMINISTERED is for their safety. If they ditched school, and wanted to go somewhere dangerous, the beeper would go off.Also if someone tried to kidnap them at school, or take them off campus the school will be alarmed. The second reason is also for the parents concern, so they won't get in trouble. If a student has a certain amount of truant days where they don't go to school, sometimes parent go to jail for not. For keeping their student absent. But not all the time is it the parents fault. So this way they can tell if the student ditches. The last reason is because the student can get more learning done, because they will be in school at all time, and they can't leave. Students will have more appropriate CONDUCT because they will be in school learning.Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833203367295968825.post-45456295912333010622012-03-20T06:44:00.000-07:002012-03-20T06:44:19.329-07:00Rain, Vacation, or Zombies vs Vampires Blog Post ParagraphThe benefits of a rainy day is that you can stay inside.

My first reason is that most need it for their safety. If you INDICATE danger around you, you would feel more protected because you have something to use to defend yourself. My second reason is that everyone has a right to bear arms, so if people want to ESTABLISH that right, and get their own gun by all means let them. My third reason is that most adults are responsible. So they know how to use their gun, and the appropriate time to do it. Adults have to JUSTIFY to get a permit for a gun. To prove that they can have one. That's why adults should be able to have guns.Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833203367295968825.post-16934572225997772842012-02-28T06:58:00.002-08:002012-02-28T06:58:49.832-08:00Technology in School ParagraphTeachers use technology to help us learn for many reasons. Everything we need is right on the blog, in the order that we're going to do it. The forms are there so we can submit them, and if we weren't sure we submitted them we look at the form to see we did. We also use Google docs, a lot so even if you lose something it's right there in Google docs, and it saves ever 5 seconds. The best thing about using a computer is that if it ever breaks or dies, you can always use another one because internet is forever and Google saves it all.Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833203367295968825.post-55332818509152776912012-02-24T07:09:00.002-08:002012-02-24T07:09:29.995-08:00Practice Paragraph Week 24Online learning is an effective way for students to learn for several reasons. The first reason is that if a student is at home doing their work they can easily CLARIFY with someone at there home or the computer to go for help. The second reason is that the DIFFERENTIATION of going to school publicly and goin to school at home, has benefits. Some people might not want to go to public schools or a certain AREA due to issues hat they may have, or they don't think it's safe. My last reason is that if they go to an online school they can get work done faster, maybe a family can't afford to drive a kid to school, or what if it's a teen, or a person who has a kid, online learning would help them.Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833203367295968825.post-51089629464871900812012-02-17T07:23:00.000-08:002012-02-17T07:23:45.014-08:00Academic Language Week 23 - Dog FightingDog fighting should be illegal for several reasons. My first reason on why dog fighting should be illegal is because it's DISTINCTLY abuse to the animals. People don't realize when they make dogs fight they are hurting dogs. Dogs are made to be friendly friends who are loyal and their POTENTIAL is to want love from their owners, and not hate. My second reason is hat if kids see this kind of behavior then they'll think it's okay to treat animals this way, and studies show they might become this way when they get older. My last reason is that people would not wanted to be treated this way so when people do this they should reflect on what they are doing and imagine if it was a family member Beating + Hurting is not a FORMULA that anyone should be capable of.thats why I think dog fighting shouldn't be allowed.Frannay Fentyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264890288517415573noreply@blogger.com0
