This Quote really stood out to me, when I was in elementary school, I was in schools where some people were bullies.
While in my journeys of elementary I got judged and didn't know how to stand up for myself, so I ended up having friends always their for me. But now I look back to those times and learned how important it is to stand up for myself while being an individual. Now that I am older I am able to stand up for myself, I am glad to be able to stand up for myself because, most people go through things like this not only in Elementary but in all different grade levels no matter where u are.

“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
― Dr. Seuss
This quote really interested me because, I have been through a point of time, mostly in relationships, family situations, or a place I have gone that really interested me. In relationships of course I'm really happy to be with someone, sometimes things happen when I end up or they end up breaking up with me. I think negative about it or I try to move on as much as possible, but like Dr. Seuss says, ''Don't cry because, it is over, smile because, it happened''. Not just relationships this ends up happening, even in family situations.

This quote really drew me in because, I have tried to be like someone else instead of being myself. I have wanted to look like someone else by dressing like them, or by trying to look like them in some way. Oscar Wilde is definitely right everyone is taken, because we are all individuals and not everyone is perfect, or has to be like someone else.
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
― Mahatma
Gandhi
― Mahatma
Gandhi
I really liked this quote because he is letting people know that don't always expect or depend on someone else to change something you wish to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi, says to be the change. Most people depend on others but, I like that he says to be the change because, it is an easier process and much quicker than someone else making a change some how or in some way they think would be better because, you know what you want to change.
"Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing."
This quote really stood out to me from the book that we have started reading To Kill a Mockingbird By: Harper Lee. I really like this quote because, I have wanted to go a step further before in 3rd grade because they didn't even teach us multiplication and I wanted to learn so I learned all by my self. No one can ever stop u from doing something that you enjoy, or want to be able to learn for in the future when you will really find it very useful.

“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”
― Mark Twain
― Mark Twain
I remember when I was younger, I lied and had to remember everything that I said to cover up my story, or else I would've been telling two stories at once, which would've made it very noticeable that I was lying. And of course when I was younger I was telling two stories at once, which got me in some deep trouble because, it was very serious. From now on I have learned my lesson and try to not lie as much as possible, but when I need or have to I know the proper way. That's the whole point of by doing something bad or good you learn your lesson.
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you
did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
― Maya Angelou
did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
― Maya Angelou
I have always said or did something with my friends, sometimes it is fun but, sometimes it can cause some trouble. I have made someone feel really good about themselves because I complimented them in nice and respectful ways. Which usually when you make someone feel good about something they learn to be around me when there having rough times, because, I will make them happy and confident in themselves, while looking forward to the future.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you
didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from
the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Since I was younger and too this day, I have went on rides that I think will be fun and won't make me nocuous. At Belmont Park I didn't go on some of the rides because, I felt nocuous but, now I feel like I should've went on those rides because, I wouldn't have had as much fun as I did the second time I went to Belmont Park. At the same time I'm glad that I didn't go on some rides while feeling nocuous, cause it would've made it worse than it already was.
This quote really stood out to me because, I believe in god. Throughout my lifetime I have noticed that god always controls who walks into my life, and I control and decide who I want to walk away. This has happened to me as I have been slowly growing up that if I feel that I am going to loose someone I try to solve the problem as much as possible, if I feel that they are worth it, but we all make mistakes no one's perfect.
This quote really drew me in because, when I was younger and too this day, I have always judged my self, and have never really let go of what has happened in the past, and I have a little faith in what will happen in the future. Hopefully now or in my present I will learn to be faithful in what will happen in the present or future.

This quote really caught my attention because, a lot of times I am around people I know that are very pretty, and I always feel ugly around them and hate things about me that I have and they don't. I learned that nobody is perfect and just because, someone is pretty that I see or know doesn't mean that I have to put myself down for not being perfect because, no ones perfect no matter what.
This quote really stood out to me because, when I was in Elementary of course I wanted to be like everyone in order to fit in. Over the past years I have discovered that it is even better to be your self rather than being like everyone else. People will find you a lot more interesting and cool to be around. That is why over the past years I have tried not to be like everyone and people find me a lot more interesting and cool to be around.
I have trouble with always thinking bad about the future, and I do concentrate on what is happening now, but, I also think negative and a little positive about the future. But I need to learn to accept what I have even though it is hard because, I have trouble with that when I see someone have something that I don't have that is better than me such as personality, and appearances.
This quote really drew me in because, this is very true I have been through this multiple times, where I will say something and then no one hears me so I then have to repeat what I already had said before. But I have always been really quiet when I speak so that also might be a reason why people most of the time don't here me. But through out my years in middle and high school I have learned to be louder and not as shy, it helps a lot more than being quiet.
This quote really stood out to me because, this is very true because, every time I make a mistake with anything in general, I learn from my mistakes by knowing what's right and what's wrong, including how the persons expectations really are. I have never actually realized that I learn from my mistakes for example if I do something I know I am or aren't allowed to do. I finally realize that I learn from my mistakes no matter what I do.
This quote really inspired me because, throughout my years growing-up I have noticed more and more each day, that people only judge people from the outside and not from people's insides, such as their personality, along with many other reasons. When I first came to High Tech Middle North County in 8th Grade, I got judged because, people thought that it was ok to judge me, even though they really didn't know the true me, this year in 9th grade I have gotten to know a couple of people from the middle school that I never met, and now they know the true me and they think that I'm nice and funny. Not only do you have to see beauty from the outside perspective of a person, place, or thing is you can always see beauty from the inside of a person, or in a place, and a thing.

Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. –Joshua J. Marine
In Middle School I had went to San Marcos Middle School until 8th grade I had gotten accepted into High Tech Middle North County. During my adventures in 8th grade I had discovered that we do Presentation Of Learning and Student Learning Conference, which were new too me, after I had watched other people in my panel I had felt more confident in my self, at first it was a challenge, I ended up overcoming this challenge by learning and watching others in my panel doing their's before me
The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well.
This quote really caught my attention because, through out my years going from Pre-school to Kindergarten to 6th grade to 9th grade. The people I do know are really outgoing, loud, and funny just like me. I have realized that people I don't know seem really normal and quiet, it is different for me because, I have gotten used to the environment and have already been able to experience this school, others haven't so they tend to be more normal and quiet, because, they don't know the expectations also they don't want people to think of them as something bad.
“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.” – Carl Bard
This quote really drew me in because, I have been through this numerous times throughout my childhood. Over the past years I have not only learned but discovered, that you can never go back when you make a mistake of any sort, but you can always start fresh from that moment after anything takes place, then after you start nice and fresh then you can hopefully have a nice ending. I hope that in my future this will never happen, but we all make mistakes in life it is just normal for someone to make mistakes.

“No one is going to hand me success. I must go out & get it myself. That’s why I’m here. To dominate. To conquer. Both the world, and myself.”
I remember when I got accepted in 8th grade at High Tech High North County, I was ready for a challenge that I was always waiting for. Once I came to High Tech High North County I had so much fun not only the environment but the way the teachers taught. One thing that I really liked is that we do exhibitions and display our hard work and effort that we put into the art pieces. Another reason why I really enjoyed High Tech High North County is because, we do POL's and Slc's, POL's are when you share a Presentation about what you have learned in each subject that you are able to teach your parents and teachers. SLC's are a student conference where your parents still come and you also present projects that you have accomplished, and successes/challenges that you had with the project.

This image really caught my attention, Is because, cheetah's are my favorite also because, when I saw this image I thought Of the Wild Animal Park, I have had many great adventures at the Wild animal park. When I had say the animals in and on top of the car the first thing that came into my mind was the Wild Animal Park. The reason why I thought of the Wild Animal Park is because, at the Wild Animal park their is a great amount of landscape for the lion's to hang out and display themselves as much as possible while on the car sleeping or playing. I hope to visit the Wild Animal Park anytime soon.

This image really stood out to me because, when I looked at this image I thought that maybe she was in a nice quiet peaceful place day dreaming. One of the reasons why this image stood out to me is because, I love to on my free time when I am not busy doing anything, I love to look out my window or just take some time and day dream. I love day dreaming while in a peaceful place when not busy because, it keeps you busy, wondering, and suspicious. Being busy, suspicious, and wondering are always very nice to have because, you aren't one of those kind of people that do nothing, I consider day dreaming as something that you are being busy, suspicious, and wondering.

This image really drew me in because, if you haven't learned or know that not only are my favorite animals cheetah's, my other favorite animal are panda's. Panda's have always been my favorite kind of animal because, they are very interesting to watch, they are fluffy and really cute/sweet. When I go to the Wild Animal Park I first start off my tour by going to see the panda's, whenever I go to a place that has Wild animals, I always go to see the panda's first. My parents have taken me to the Wild Animal park since I was 5 years old, I never will forget my first time at the Wild Animal Park, I really enjoyed seeing animals that you don't see at animal shelters, because they are wild animals, hince the name the Wild Animal Park.

When I saw this, the first thing that had popped in my head was the desert. I remember when I went camping with my neighbors to the desert. My neighbors husband has a Jeep that he uses the jeep to go up the nice dirt hills, also just cruise around in it. My first time this summer going to the desert was very fun, I definitely had a great experience, hope to go camping in the desert anytime soon. The place that we stayed at was my neighbors friends that owns property at the desert, so we all went on a ride in our jeeps one morning and one of the family's have two boys one couldn't fit in the car so he went with his uncle, his uncle was going really fast and turned to quickly they flipped, it was amazing because, the little boy knew what to do, he didn't get injured at all but his uncle had gotten a broken arm.
This quote really stood out to me because, I am very random and when you are random you tend to think faster than people that aren't random. I find being random is really fun, can be weird at times when you really don't know what your trying to explain. Being random has it's benefits, you can confuse or leave people hanging for your joy.

"I can't go on. My stomach is bursting."
In class we have been reading Night by Elie Wiesel. This quote really stood out to me because, in Chapter 6 Zalman was warning everyone that he was going to die anytime soon, which the others wanted to begin walking and were trying to force him to walk because, they didn't know he was not feeling good until a while after when they had stopped walking cause he was feeling weird. After he says this quote he ends up falling down on the ground then he is dead. This quote was very touching to me because, he knows that he is going to die but, he is trying to explain to them as simple as possible, which is very hard for him.

I chose this image because, Matilda is one of my favorite movie's. This connects to me because, when I was Matilda's age I always loved to go to the library as much as possible and stock up on new books that I was fascinated in. On my free time when I was younger mostly when I came home from school I would read as much as possible For example, by reading Night By: Ellie Wiesel, I mostly loved reading because, it kept me busy and out of trouble.
I chose this image because, Deer's are my favorite animal. This connects to me because, my second house where I sometimes stay at is in the mountains where I get to see deer every day just grazing or taking a nap. This is one of the animals that I enjoy watching because, they always are in packs like wolfs. It is very interesting to see how they live there lives. The one thing that really scares me at times is when the deer will jump out in front of your car. When my parents are driving to our house they have to be cautious of deer crossing the street because, they will jump.
I chose this image of this quote because, this connects to me in many ways. This connects to me because, sometimes when I think of doing something it isn't always the brightest, most of the times are because, I have always grew up with my three brothers not always making good decisions even though they are older. As I have became older I have realized that I have gotten more and more mature in a way kind of like my brothers but, everyone has their times where they make mistakes no one is perfect.

I chose this image because, It reminded me of good times now in High school when I hear people say "WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY" Ring-Ding-Ding-Ding-DingRingDing! I always get a laugh out of this when I hear multiple people around the school expressing this to more and more people each day. I personally think a lot of people do it to get a reaction of some sort, which many times they do get a reaction by them first getting a laugh out of it, then by repeating after you.
This image caught my attention because, it had reminded me of a project that we had done in Humanities class the project was called The Kindness Study where we got to do a random act of Kindness for who ever we felt like while also choosing a quote from To Kill a Mockingbird that represented the random act of Kindness. This image also represents the same project that we had done except this person had just done it just cause to help others and be kind.
Ohana means family. Family means nobody get's l
Lilo and Stitch is one of my favorite movies.This quote is one of the famous quotes said in the movie, and it is definitely one of my favorite sayings. I like this quote because of the way it is phrased, saying that family means "nobody gets left behind or forgotten". I don't think this quote is just talking about people's biological families. My friends are like my brothers and sisters because, they are always there for me. Family is the meaning of always sticking together, while also caring about each other. Concluding that I have a large family that I respect and never will leave. My friends mean a lot to me, this quote sums up the fact that whether they are blood related or not doesn't matter either way they are also someone that you love and care about just like your family members.
"My only love sprung from my only hate!"- Juliet
I choose this quote because, we have began reading Romeo and Juliet, while reading Act 1 this quote really stood out to me because, Juliet is expressing herself by saying that her true love is the only person who she hates because, their families dislike each other . This also connects to me because when I was 13 , my older brother who's name is Stephen was 20 he had dated this girl that was a drama queen, after my family had met her after me they all didn't like her at all because, you can tell that she grew up being spoiled. My parents tried to be as nice as possible because, we couldn't do anything about it cause we can't control my brother actions. My feelings about this relationship were that it was Acquainted- they know each other not very well, I also felt that it was very Brittle- a brittle relationship or situation isn't very strong and could easily be damaged.

I choose this image because, I enjoy watching UP on my free time because,it is a great way of kicking back and relaxing with family members which are usually my Grandma and my Grandpa sometimes my brothers named Stephen who is 22 and my other brother Michael who is 15, This summer I had watched UP numerous times because, it was my first time watching it the first time I had watched this movie I really enjoyed it. When I enjoy a movie I tend to watch it over and over as many times as I can. Since I tend to imagine a lot while I am watching a movie, it tends to make it a lot more fascinating while watching a movie because, when you imagine you tend to imagine if you were in the same situation, what would you do? in UP I feel I tend to imagine the most because, the different parts are very imaginable for example, when Mr. Fredrick get's in trouble for hitting a man with his mailbox, he goes and hides so that he won't get in trouble then his house breaks from the ground and starts floating in the air the house eventually ends up in Paradise Falls where he always wished to go.
I choose this image because, this summer including today I have really enjoyed watching this movie with my brothers who are 21 and 15 the 21 year old is named Stephen and the 15 year old is named Michael. I not only enjoy watching this movie with my family members I also enjoy watching this movie by myself. In Brave my favorite part is when the witch gives merda a spell which she ends up giving to her mom which eventually ends up turning her mom into a bear.
Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie,
And young affection gapes to be his heir.
That fair for which love groaned for and would die
With tender Juliet matched, is now not fair.
Now Romeo is beloved and loves again,
Alike bewitchèd by the charm of looks,
But to his foe supposed he must complain,
And she steal love’s sweet bait from fearful hooks.
Being held a foe, he may not have access
To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear.
And she as much in love, her means much less
To meet her new beloved anywhere.
But passion lends them power, time means, to meet,
Tempering extremities with extreme sweet.
I had chose this saying in Romeo and Juliet because, this part had stood out to me the most not only did it stand out to me also the fact that last year(8th Grade) in Drama with Mr. Vega we had to try to choose and memorize a Monologue while also saying them in front of the class, I ended up memorizing this saying. Now in 9th Grade I have finally gotten to actually read Romeo and Juliet I would have to say that this saying was one of my favorites while reading this book.

In class we have been currently reading, In the Time of the Butterflies. While reading this book I had came across a quote that had stood out to me which was when Minerva was playing a board game in which you have to use a glass that you move around which tells your future, the quote was "I asked the talking board what I would be when I grew up, and it said a lawyer." I found this very fascinating because, Minerva has always wanted to attend law school in which she plays this board game that tells the events that are going to take place in the future which had read a lawyer.

This quote had really caught my attention. I can relate to this quote, there has been a time in life around the age of 10 when it had started in which is still continuing today, my friend hadn't accepted herself for who she was when really I had seen her as a young girl who had expressed a beautiful soul from the inside out. Beautiful girl in which she hadn't thought that she was pretty from the inside out it was more of critiquing her own self which wasn't ever needed. She had always told me that my hair was beautiful including everything else critiques after the other, which in a way made it easier in order to feel confidential within my self instead of letting my self down. No matter what, you can go deep inside someone's soul and there will always be beauty within them.

"Here ends my Little Book
Goodbye for now, not forever(I hope)"
In class we have been continuing on reading, In the Time of The Butterflies. While reading chapter 4, I was able to step in the shoes of Maria Teresa because, the journal that she had received from Minerva which she had reflected on her daily occurrence in life whether good or bad, starting off with communion and ending within her giving up on her reflections after she had left her journal in an area where others were able to read her reflections which made her conclude from writing any longer. While reading Maria Teresa's journal entries I had came across a quote which was, "Here ends my Little Book
Goodbye for now, not forever(I hope)" this quote had stood out to me because, these were the last words that had been written in Maria Teresa's journal she was trying to come to a point that after all she is going to conclude her diary entries. Minerva specifically got this journal for Maria Teresa, in Maria Teresa's opinion it is able to make others have constant reflections after one another. In this chapter Maria tends to seem very loyal and obedient within others, the diary had really helped Minerva not only to reflect but in order to let out her feelings/emotions. In chapter four, Patria had wanted to become a nun since she had been younger, in which when she was younger she had became very religious. Patria expresses lots of emotions within this chapter because she ends up having her third child that she had lost. After the death of the third baby had occurred she had begun to lose faith within God while becoming less and less religious.
"Everyone knew my public sorrow, the lost baby, but none of my private one, my loss of faith"
In class we are currently still reading, In the Time of The Butterflies. While reading chapter 4, I had came across a quote that had stood out which was, "Everyone knew my public sorrow, the lost baby, but none of my private one, my loss of faith". In the beginning Patria had started to have strong faith within god until after the third death of her baby she had began to lose her faith within god while becoming less religious. I can make a connection through my church friend that had just got married last year has tried multiple of times to get pregnant in which she had kept having miss carriages, at last before her trip to Australia she had kept silent that she was pregnant after 6 weeks she had came back and had an announcement that she was past the miss carriage stage so she didn't loose this baby and is hoping to give birth sometime in June. At some point she had been really sad because, at the time she was having strong faith within god and just like Patria she ended up wondering how god could do such thing after weeks had flown by she had realized that it doesn't always relay on god.

I can make a connection through my church friend that had just got married last year has tried multiple of times to get pregnant in which she had kept having miss carriages, at last before her trip to Australia she had kept silent that she was pregnant after 6 weeks she had came back and had an announcement that she was past the miss carriage stage so she didn't loose this baby and is hoping to give birth sometime in June. At some point she had been really sad because, at the time she was having strong faith within god and just like Patria she ended up wondering how god could do such thing after weeks had flown by she had realized that it doesn't always relay on god.
Quote: “You’re mind is working at its best when you’re being paranoid. You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation at high speed with total clarity.”- Banksy
This quote is very powerful, most people tend to just jump or feel a need to rush to conclusion. At times everyone gets in trouble and is paranoid about there stance in life that involves present/past. Being paranoid can be also known as a way of over stepping the thought about something that had took place or an event happening at the moment. When others over power themselves with thoughts one after the other involving an event that has or had happened which tends to end up with complication. In a result never let a person or thing get in the way of your life, just live the life u wanna live :).For example, In The Time of The Butterflies, Dedé the second Mirabal sister. She isn’t as certain about the revolution as her sisters, feels weaker because of that fact. She has mixed feelings about joining the revolution, so she doesn't. She uses her husband, Jaimito, as the reason she doesn't officially join. He doesn't want her involved in the revolution, and the conflict almost destroys their marriage. She is constantly worrying about her sisters, telling them they'll be killed. She has children, all boys, Enrique, Rafael, and David, Dede had let others get in the way of her dreams.

While at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in San Diego this art piece is a handmade rug that had been displayed, there had been multiple rugs that had different kinds of shapes in which this particular one had stood out to me. I had been able to point out my thoughts to my other classmates while focusing on this specific art piece that had stood out to me cause of the colors which are my favorite including the shapes there are two shapes in one but not which really drew me in by the way that the different shapes are and how the dimensions of the overall layout is designed. Another art piece that had really stood out to me unfortunately don't have an image but, I had studied to art pieces at once while seeing how they related in any way the first thought that came into mind was that in one image Martin Luther King was displayed on the right hand corner up above while the other image had Martin Luther King displayed on the left hand corner on the bottom, also the advertisements of alcohol.

This is discussing that Heroin has been proven to be as a big issue especially now a days in the U.S. Heroin is cheap also highly addictive. George W. Bush was celebrating the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman known for how/why he had been lead to death.

Of the 6 aprox. pictures that Mrs. Carol had displayed in class, I had specifically choosen this image because the Colosseum has always been in my perspective seen as a beautiful building with alot of history behind it, I would love to go more in-depth with the history behind this building. I personally love the different architecture that are displayed everything is amazingly gorgeous in Europe. Alot of bad had occured in the Colosseum, but I would love to hear the full history behind the building.

I had chosen this image cause throughout the years and too this day on my free time I enjoy taking the time to watch my favorite mystery show on T.V. which is Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family. An overview on what too expect in this clueless show is that in Pretty Little Liars, no one is able to wait any longer for "A's" latest cruel attack, Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer take matters into their own hands and try to finally put a stop to their tormentor. As relationships are put to the test, new and old secrets are revealed and the stakes are raised higher than ever before as the Liars come closer to the truth. The question is, "Will all of their sacrifices be worth it in the end?" In each episode Spencer, Hanna, Aria, and Emily, one goes missing after this person goes missing all the rest of the girls receive text messages from -A all the girls figure that it is the girl that died but, they don't know for sure.
"You may never know what results some of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results." Mahatma Gandhi
I took this quote into consideration that sometimes the decisions we make and the actions we partake in we take to create consequences that won't be known to us. But, if we fail to make actions, then there won't be any possibilities for any consequences to be in existence. I had chosen this quote overall because, I can certainly relate because, when i commit to an action then there is always a result but when I don't commit any actions then I won't have too partake in any results whether good or bad.
