My Necklace

xocherryox — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 01:46:31 +0000

****What is the most precious item in your life?****

The most important item in my life is my 24 karrat gold necklace that I got about three or four years ago. This is really important because the necklace itself cost a lot and then we bought the pendant separately and that actually cost more then the necklace because it has real diamonds on it and it has a ”P” on it for my name . Me and my five year old sister both have the same necklace but her pendant has a”R” on it for her name, even though she is only six years old but she is lucky to have a 24 karrot gold necklace. I still do wear mine but only when I go out . Since I am afraid that it is going to fall off or something in school.I also find the necklace very special because its something special from my parents. (I am sorry i didn’t have a picture of it but here is a picture of gold.) =]

The Virtual Teacher thing…

An activity that a teacher can direct when a he/she is absent is a blog postor something like that that you can just write down the question and the students can answer it.The students should already know how to log in to their own blogs and they can just post the assignment and the teacher can check it while he/she is at home too.Then after looking at it the teacher can grade it on whatever they feel like basing it on, then if a certain student needs extra help they can just ask the teacher online, and the teacher will know that they are participating if they actually do the assignment and how much they understand it.So I do think that,that would be pretty cool.=]

High School!!!!! =]

I am actually looking forward to highschool but i am also really scared. I just hope that i can find all of my classes and i dont stay back….I also am hoping to become a nurse or a pedriatrician. I am going to work really hard in highschool and try to get all A+ or B+. I will study so much harder than i did in middle school and elementry school ,all the material that i learn in school in one day I will come home and study and if there were any vocabulary words i will study them and look over that whole section and i will learn to ask more questions and not be shy to. So i am very scared and shy yet happy but there are alot of emotions about how I feel about going to highschool. =]…=[…=/…=T…those were some happy,sad,scared ,and shy.

Martin Luther King Jr…=]

We don’t have school on Monday due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day.Schools across America close because he made a difference in the world for people of s darker skin color,before he did some thing about the problem before darker skinned people had to sit in the back of the bus and he stopped from having different bathrooms for white people and dark skinned people.Here is a famous quote from him:

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin,but by the content of their character.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.

I think that this means that he wants his children to live in a place where they don’t get judged by their skin color but by their personality.He was very important so there can be some people that celebrate the day on January 21st so i do not think that we should have school which we don’t have school anyways. Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15th 1929 in Atlanta,Georgia he died on April 4th 1968 when he was the age of 39 he died in Memphis,Tennessee.

Cell Phones(video thing)

xocherryox — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 21:51:13 +0000

I think that cellphones can be very hard to make but we have new ones coming out like every week.Unlike the girl the children thought that ,that can not happen….for example when she said that they might have music and it is like a little computer in your hands.The children were not very impressed but her mom was and she was very proud of her daughter and she had tears of happinness coming from her eyes.She would be reading that book all the time too.So cell phones can be and will be more and more advanced and filled with more technolagy they already have music,games,internet,texting,calling,cameras,and video cameras that i think is pretty impressive.There are already so many different companies that make cell phones to like Verizon,Cingular,T-Mobile,Motorola,and even Apple now which came out with the I-Phone.Those were just a couple of examples but there are more like Nokia.Our technolagy changes so fast that it is incredeble(if you look at the two pictures one is of an old phone the other is of a new phone that just came out,which I own myself & compared to my old cell phone the Juke is so much better. It has “get it now” things and mobile AIM,music,camera,text messaging and much more but my old phone did not have any of that so this proves that technolagy improves every single day…Like the little girl in the video was saying that is possible and true.

ONLY A 2 YEAR DIFFERENCE!

2005

^^^^^compare the two phones which one is “better”??(most people will probably say the Juke it is newer and has more in it and its design looks better.)

Who Has Influenced You Outside of Your Parents??

xocherryox — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 23:05:23 +0000

Hmmm…..who has influenced me other than my parents??Well that is a pretty hard question because there is a lot of people,but one person that really does is my aunt,Arti she is my uncle,Dilips wife and she has taught me how to be strong…ever since my uncle has died on December 15th ,2007 (R.I.P) which was very recent and we had his funeral on December 18th ,2007 …..but he had ,had cancer before that in like May and she had cried at the hospital when they found out but after that she had taught her self and taught every one to be tuff and that does happen in life so cherish the moments you have with your family and what ever happens just let them know that you do love them(even if you fight with your siblings a lot)… so when he actually died she had cried and so did I and her son and daughter and evryone but after we had all tuffened up and it was very sad and I know that she must have felt like breaking down and crying but she was strong about it so she…not only her but my uncle to…when he was living taught me to be strong and also that life is short …enjoy it and the person you loved like a dad can get hurt or even possibly die….but I still love them all very much and yes, I will miss my uncle but hey life is life………..

I Wonder……..

xocherryox — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 02:18:56 +0000

I wonder about many things but one is that I wonder what the world would be like with out phones and computers………if we did not have those than we wouldnt be able to get messages to each other quickly.Sooo if there was like an emergency or something we wouldnt be able to call the police very quickly and that would not be good.:( Even if you just needed to call or email your friend for something quickly…like help on homework.So we should be proud to have , had people who have invented all this technology for us and the people that are inventing new stuff right now for the whole world…i mean if we have like a house phone then we have a house phone but we really dont care like people would have back then………

What are the things that you think are so essential in the classroom that they can’t be outsourced to a virtual space? (Do they still exist? Will they always exist?)

xocherryox — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 01:37:56 +0000

Some things that I think that you can not do online are have a face to face conversation.If you had a project and it was on a poster the teacher can’t see it and you cant see a sample if you needed some help on it or need a visual to see.You cant even do a project say you had to do it with a partner and your internet didn’t work and your parents had trouble bringing you there and back you wouldn’t be able to get a grade for it.Last,if you didn’t have any internet you cant do any of the assignments,so there goes your whole school year.Some objects that really help you that are in school are the whiteboards,the teachers,and plenty more.

What I Want to Be….
