What color represents you? Why?




The color that best represents me is Blue. I chose the color blue because it is a cool calming color that shows creativity and intelligence. It is a color of loyalty, strength, wisdom and trust. I know I am a very intelligent person and trusting, basically everything blue represents, represents me and who I am as a person.

Portfolio - Improvement






Over the past two years I have improved majorly with my academic skills. My writing skills in the past were great I have never had a problem with writing. It has improved a little because I have learned how to use educational words in my writing not just elementary school writing. My Reading skills before were fantastic, I've always loved to read it was my hobbie. My reading skills have improved some bit because now I can read longer chapter books. My speaking skills before high school were okay I never had to have speech therapy. My speaking skills now have not really improved I think it has gotten a little worse actually. My group-work skills were not the best before, I always liked to work independently. Over the last two years my group-work skills have improved because now I am able to work with partners. I am able to strengthen my life skills by learning how to deal with those I not particularly fond of. Before I had promoted high school my technology skills kind sucked. I learned how to type without looking at the keyboard, how to make websites, I have learned video programming also. To proceed with improving my academic skills I am going to stay focused and take advantage of everything I can learn within my life.

Portfolio - Future

I feel that my future is set for me right now because I am doing everything that needs to be done. A couple of my goals for my future are to recive a 4.0 GPA, Graduate from high school, Get my masters degree in Social Work and therapy, And get a job in the field of social work or marriage therapy. My previous achievement have helped me a little bit to achieve my goals, but i know that I have to work harder to get what I want out of life. I need to continue to focus on school and be self-fish about my education. My family, close friends, teachers, and hopefully my boyfriend will push me so I can achieve some of these goals. I believe I will achieve my goals if i work hard enough, it's all on me no one else, so I just need to stay focused.

Playwrights Project Play Performance Paragraph

Today four actors came to preform parts of our plays I felt three different emotions at once, I was nervous, happy, and a little bit sad. I was nervous because I didn't know how the audience would react to my play being preformed. I wanted everyone to like my play and not think it was boring or judge it. I felt happy because everyone did great on their plays and the actors preformed them well. I also felt happy because my play came out good and I was able to see parts that I could improve on. While my play was being preformed I looked over and my sister Genevieve was crying, so I kind of felt a bit sad and guilty, Because I did an autobiography on my life, but I didn't think about how my sister would feel also having to watch it happen over again. It was hard on me to watch, so I know my sister was having a hard time. All in all I think everyone did awesome on their plays and should keep up the good work.

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Achievement




My greatest high school achievement was when I received a 3.5. When I started attending Charter School San Diego May 2010 I was behind my ninth grade credits. Over the eight months I spent there I earned 20 high school credits and at that school you only needed 48 to graduate. I felt so happy that I was able to accomplish that much in that short of time. By having that incident happen to I learned that I can actually do it. It taught me how believe in myself and that I am not stupid. It gave me the reassurance and self-confidence I needed to be able to get caught up and stay like that.

Portfolio - My Educational Experiences





Due to my educational experiences, I am currently just getting caught up to the rest of my class in school. I have moved around a lot during my life and I missed important classes I had to take. I started falling behind in the sixth grade when I started getting suspended too much. After my dad died I really didn't care much about what happened, so I did whatever I wanted and it hurt my education drastically. At the end of the ninth grade year I thought if I kept that up I was never going to achieve y goals I have set for myself, So I worked hard and now I am finally all caught up with the rest of my class. I am getting excellent grades in all my classes and my goal for next school year is to have 4.0. Currently I am focusing on myself and what I have to do and it is working out to my greater advantage. Hey, sometimes it is okay to be selfish.
