Journal #31: FREE: Write about what ever you want.

Well this time I'm going to write about Halloween. I think this Halloween was so cool. I got to go to a Custom Party with all of my friends from High school. I dress like Cleopatria it was so much fun. There were a lot of people who went to the party. It was on Saturday night, after that I went with my friends to watch a movie and eat some pizza. I also got to spend Halloween time with my family we went to the Dorado Park on Scottsdale. They have so many games out there for kids also they had military people playing with the kids. I love the military so that’s why I had more fun.

Journal #30: How do you write an essay?

The first thing I have to do to start my essay is do my prewriting Example: mapping, brainstorming, listing and questioning. The second step is planning meaning outline or organizing ideas. The third step is drafting, in other words writing your ideas down on a paper or writing your rough draft with additional thoughts. The next step is revising taking or adding other words or phrase to reorganized your ideas or draft. Then, the editing checking grammar, spelling and punctuation. Finally rewriting your essay into the final draft. These are all of the steps you need to follow in order to write a excellent essay.

Journal #29: What is the best commercial you've ever seen?

The best commercial I ever seen was the one with a guy dog eating spaghetti with a girl dog. When He was about to kiss her he woke up he was day dreaming and right at the moment he hit himself against the window and saw the girl dog walking in front of his yard. I was laughing so much and then it came up to that it was a Disney commercial.

Journal #28: What do hate most about using technology in class, in life, in general?

What I hate doing the most using technology in class is the essays. I think we would learn better in how to improve in writing if we could do it in class so that way the teacher is able to help us when we are confused. Using technology is a big help also because we could send our work to the teacher without us being in school. Rather than that everything is just working fine.

Journal #27: What is the one piece of technology you enjoy using?


One piece that I enjoy using the most is the computer. The reason why I enjoy it more is because I could chat with my friends that are in a different state or a different school. It's a way to communicate each other. I also like the computer becuase now there's so many things you could do with it. Example now I could actually do my homework at home by online. I could always check what I have for homework for the next day and so on.......

Journal #24: What would you do if someone got in front of you when you were in line at the movies?

Well in fact someone got in front of me when I went with my boyfriend to the movies. Well I didn't want to sound mean to the person. The first time I ask the person if she could please move she refused to move from the line so I decided to aks her once again. She still refused to move. I got fustrated and told her that she was been disrespectful to me and other people and when she realize that other people were looking at her she left. Before she left she gave and ugly look at me and my boyfriend. I honestly don't care what she thought about me.

Journal #23: What would you do if you ordered an ice cream cone and you forgot to bring money?


If I ordered an ice cream cone and I forgot to bring my money. I can't even imagine myself in that position it would be so embarrassed not having money to pay for the ice cone. Well to pay I would even call my mother or my sister to bring money to pay. Or I would stay and help them on something to pay off for my ice cone. Well I hope in never happends to me.

Journal #22: Have you ever been discriminated against? When? How? Explain how you felt.


I have been descriminated by one person that I rather not tell his name. Well this person is always talking bad staff about Mexican people. He would say that Mexican people just come to the Unitest States to make it a worse country. He also says that hate it them just for the reason that they don't have and Education. Well he told me that I was ignorant just becausee he thought that I was going to stop my Education once I got out of High School. But he was wrong. He apologize to me for thinking I was ignorant and was happy for me on keeping my Education. Now he is at West Point Academy in New York and we still talk to each other by E-mail. I make him realize that Mexican people could also get an Education.

Journal #21: What would you do if you woke up in another country and no one could understand you?


What would I do if I wake up in another country and no one would understand me? I would go crazy just ny knowing that the people would not be able to understand me. That I have to be able to learn their language in order to survive. I alos have to learn it in order to start working. Maybe the first thing I would buy with my check would be a Dictionary. Although when I came to this country I did not speak any English but with effort now I' m able to speak English.
