World Cup - ZA

The world cup happens every four year and this is the first time that is going to be held in South Africa. The world cup is an event where the entire continent participate in and most of this time it is always held in other places except South Africa because some people thought that South Africa couldn’t handle the world cup. This time it is going to be in South Africa and they are going to proof that they can handle the world cup.

The first time that South Africa is going to have the world cup. They don’t have anything like hotels, restaurant for the people to stay or eat. But they are constructing the things and also they are constructing new stadiums for the games to be held. This time Africa is going to show that they can handle the world cup and down there I have some links for these and also the continent’s where the world cup has been held before.

KY Test 10th Graders Go To College

The program is being organized by the National Center on Education and the Economy, and its goals include insuring that students have mastered a set of basic requirements and reducing the numbers of high school graduates who need remedial courses when they enroll in college. More than a million college freshmen across America must take remedial courses each year, and many drop out before getting a degree.

High school students will begin the new coursework in the fall of 2011 in Connecticut, Kentucky, Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont. The educations commissioners of those states have pledged to sign up 10 to 20 schools each for the pilot project, and have begun to reach out to district superintendents.

Marc S. Tucker, president of the center, a Washington-based nonprofit said, “That’s a central problem we’re trying to address, the enormous failure rate of these kids when they go to the open admission colleges and We’ve looked at schools all over the world, and if you walk into a high school in the countries that use these board exams, you’ll see kids working hard, whether they want to be a carpenter or a brain surgeon.”

I think about the program can help out for the people who are ready and then again if some people can effect the way they think. By I know most people do study as hard as they can, but even if they study there is still a chance to fail the test. Then, if that happens then the person who took the test can think to him/her self as they can’t accomplish anything. So some people do others things instead of try to reach the goal again. And for the people who do pass the test can help in the real world.

What happened when me and my dad was in the wrong place at the wrong time!

It started out being a good day, dad and I was finished working on our farm that day. My dad, in a tired voice told me “maneja tu” (you drive). We were on our way home when two big army trucks passed us sounding the honk trying to tell me to get out of their way. I was only going 65 miles per hour. Five minutes didn’t even pass when I saw a long line of cars, like about 50 cars. In front of us there were two white trucks, I kind of noticed that it was the L.F.M. (La Familia Michoacána/ Mafia). I was wondering what happened, in a firm voice I asked my dad “ que chingados paso” ( what the heck hapenend) when I saw the two big army trucks that passed me. I realized that the soldiers were searching every truck that drove by. But now it was the two white truck’s turn, the soldier made the stopping signal, when the two white trucks just dashed by the soldier making him prepare his rifle. While was trying to stop the truck to let one of the army trucks to go and try to stop the white trucks I heard four gun shots “BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM”. I got kind of scared and my dad said with a scared voice “ dale chingadoz, no me quiero morir tan pronto” ( Go, I don’t want to die at this time). While I made the U turn there was already another army truck behind us………..

All I Ever Wanted

When, I first time I see you I was little and didn’t what was going around my life. As soon as I came to notices that there was a problem in my life, but couldn’t figure it out. Every since you left me alone and my family, I thought that it was bad. Now as I look back into the past and I think to myself, “Man! I was so weak to think about that and not think what I do have in my like I have good friends and a perfect family.” I know your going to say, “But no one is perfect.” Yes I know that, but I won’t trade my family for nothing on this earth. I know family usually have fight and agree about things, but that’s normal in a life because sometimes when family fights are good to make sure you don’t mess up your life or someone you love. Like I can talk about one person who chanced my life forever, but I’m not going to say his name. I know I thought it was bad for us, but now since I notice more things I know it was for the better. So it doesn’t matter to me what if he comes back to my life because I’m finish and tried of him coming back and then leaving me alone again.

Believe

Well, today I want to write about believe in yourself. I’m writing this because I lost the truths with in me. Over this weekend something came back at me from no where, I started to cry right there where I was, and other thing I just don’t want to talk about it. So the message I want to you to get is simple don’t ever let someone to tell you what you don’t want to do and that you can’t do it. Just remember there are people whop care for you and try to not let nothing happen to you.

Art

Art is very important to me in many different ways. When I get mad or when I am stressed I draw to get rid of my stress. Art is important to me in another way and that way is that I would like to become and architect or an automobile designer. Some people think that art is just dumb but it is not dumb when it has its own reasons or meanings. Ill rather draw then do work sometimes!

3 IDIOTS

Life is all about listening to your heart and chasing your dreams, that’s the essence of the movie I recently watched titled ‘3 idiots’. It’s a bollywood movie. The movie is about three young college buddies who get to realize their selves at the end of the movie. They have their own idiot theory that is ‘I Do It On My Terms’. The movie shows not only hardships of college life but also try to teach us a lesson that every time studying in college is not all about getting degree but sometimes it’s more than that. It could just for learning and getting new ideas. The movie is good and I really liked it.
