[x]Getting yelled at
[x]When someone is not listening
[x]When anger is taken out on me by others

I havent been on the right track with my school work lately. I havent really had an inspiration to help me get through the beginning of this school year. I really want to do good this year and complete my work. An activity that we did in class today was a quickwrite: What Pisses You Off. I listed above some things that come to mind when i think of what makes me mad. This is not a topic that ever came to mind and i thought about it for the rest of the day.
So many things can make a person mad. I am the type of person who doesnt hold a grudge so i get over things pretty fast. Things that help me calm down are listen to music, eat, or talk to someone, but i mostly like to be left alone. When other people are mad i try to be understanding and help them if they want it.
People can make me mad sometimes very easily and i try to control it but if im really frustrated you can tell by the tone of my voice. People that are disrespectful and dont care that they are really pisses me off because i think that it also shows that they dont have repsect for themsevles. People that are fake really piss me off because people should be themselves and be proud of who that person is. Being fake is irritating because sometimes its very cocky and it makes the person seem immature. When people are rude sometimes it'll cause other people to be rude after a while and that brings negative energy around.
Violence and racism piss me off because there is no point into it. Nothing is going to change the fact that people come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. Violence doesnt just hurt people but it also hurts all thr communities and families around it. Violence makes people scared and what why live life in fear? Every day people have to struggle to live and the violence makes everything harder. Its not right and i wish that all violence and racism will come to and end one day.
Racism is hurtful to so many people and no one deserves to be discriminated against. Raciscm also causes violence because it makes people angry. It can start off with hurtful words and lead to things being physical.

Expanding Web 2.0

Web 2.0 also know as the applications of Facebook, Youtube, and blogging has changed the life of people all over the world. Web 2.0 has changed my life in so many ways. I am apart of the generation that has been growing with this system, so I am up to date with most of the new technology and advances that come with Web 2.0. It is easier to do things such as reaserch and projects with the help from internet and information that you can see in videos on youtube or ask a friend on Facebook. Web 2.0 will continue to change because it is still growing and becoming more advance than it is now. So much technology is used for this application and its known world wide. Web 2.0 has already had an effect on the media because instead of watching it at home on t.v or listening to the radio you can watch or listen live from your own computer. It seems that media is an easier and somewhat faster way for the media to get news and information around.

Elections

Out of all of the candidates who are running for student body and class officers at Burton High School, which candidate(s) do you think can make a difference at our school? Explain why. You may talk about one particular candidate, compare two or more, or give an overall opinion on the common traits exhibited or themes that were raised.

The candidates that are running for student body and class officers that I think can make a difference in our school are Minh, Dominique, and Sam. I believe that their ideas will help us as a school and I know that they will put in the effort. Minh is responsible and knowledgeable and I know that he will make a great leader. Both Dominique and Sam have great minds and they will work to the best of their ability.

Saturation: The Field

A nice day with light winds. Students all around the field, bleaches, and walking on the track. The tone on the field is calm. People are talking, laughing, eating, and playing. Ipods and phones are seen everywhere in students hands. The boys yelling and laughing while playing soccer and football. There were workers on the side working on the new handicap ramp.

Three Oakland school janitors accused of stealing electronic equipment

Crime; a grave offense especially against morality. At a school in Oakland at the Webster Academy janitors were accused of stealing the school's property after one of the janitors appeared drunk on campus whom also was on probation. The police had then investigated his house after admitting to having some school property at his home. The police found numerous electronics that belonged to the school such as t.v's and dvd players. This show's one of the many ways that crimes are growing because it's not just in the streets. Crime can happen anywhere, anytime, and by anyone. People are having new ways to promote crime that's being added to the society so what can we do to help ?

Aug 12, 2008 2:30pm SF Excelsior Residents Demand End To Violence


In this news report about the Excelsior District in which i live in myself i am fearful now for my family and my neighbors. This is the first time that the violence in the excelsior community has been recognized by the media and now the police is working with our community to make it a harmless and comfortable environment again. Growing up i didnt have to worry about my safety, but today it seems we have to watch out because anything can happen. "I think that there's a lot more violence lately. I feel that they aren't doing much about it" said Adrina Arenas a student from burton and also a resident in the Excelsior, "It doesn't seem like police are doing there job!". Many police cars are seen everyday driving around, but i ask what does that do?
