G.R.A.P.E.S
By Ernesto Zamora
I remember the time I had just went to a museum for a field trip! I can’t
remember why we went, but probably for having good grades for that time
being.In the beginning we went to the cafeteria in my school first to eat
G That one time I went to a breakfast. Back then we would just go to our class first, our teachers would feed
us in the class. The school felt more like a home with this little touch out
museum teachers had with our breakfast. So when we ended our breakfast we got our
food then left onto the school bus. I can remember the buses light yellow colors
with it’s nice black stripes, along with it’s clear glass windows with its vibrant
black outlines. Inside the bus was two seat per row, their were some emergency
exits just incase in the event of something going bad. The bus ride was a long
and tedious bus ride with kids with their music blasting the poor bus driver ear’s.
After a few hours we had arrived a big hollywood sign and the museum. The
view was absolutely stunning, A perfect shot of the big famous hollywood with
this big old museum. When we went inside we went up some stairs, and got to
what I think was a second floor. The guide lead us into a weird sphere, Then in
a moment of realsion I figured out we were in the big sphere on the building So
we sat down in a chair and then a presentation appeared, The presentation was
about the dinosaurs and space and even the world. When it was over the guide
had lead us to plenty of very old dinosaur fossils that were up for display. Then
talked about them, Then we went to a telescope then we saw the very big
hollywood sign right in the middle. Then after all of that we went to say our
goodbyes to the museum. Then we got back onto the yellow bus. The ride back
was a little less painful since I got to think about the museum. When we got back
we got back into our seats then got a big assignment. I think the experience I
had, and all the good memories I had are ones to definitely keep
R The Grieving I'm not the person who will go to church every week, just for the sake of “ it being
church”. But the one time I did it was a time that I knew that I had be here one day
but I was hoping it was not this soon. The reason that I had to go to church that very
day it was because a week before my grandmother had been deceased. It was the
afternoon in my dad's nice slim black car. At first I didn't know where we were going. I
knew it was going to be a new place or a very old one that I haven’t visited in a while.
Then looking out of the car window I saw it, The large church that I knew that I had to
go to but I didn't want to. So my father parked the car in a parking lot. Then we got
out of it taking our belongings. We walked up to the church and opened the big
double doors. The first room was a white room it had tables and another door
naturally we opened the second door. When we opened it we saw crowds of people
in their seat. We took our seat on the left side more frontwards than the back. We
sielety waited for the priest to get up on the podium. Some volunteers gave the
people some bibles and them sat down their self. The priest told us to stand up and
say something about how we have to get over the dead and learn something new
from them. After a few hours the priest went down the list of people who had perished
that have been listed. After that we decided that we were going to leave. After that we
tried to have a good time. Our cousins were outside and gave us encouragement
about their and they said that they knew that she loved all of us deep down in here
heart. After that we decided to go and get these soft sticks of bread that had sugar all
over them. That made the experience a bit better. Well Im still happy that my
grandmother is my grandmother, and I couldn't love her more.
A My best Achievement In my own opinion I think that my own best achievement that I able to
achieve was how I was able to be in Compton Early College. In my own
opinion I think that this achievement was the best one that I was able to
achieve. First at the start I was still in fifth grade still when my teacher told
me to come over and let her tell me something. She said that since I had
one of the best grades in 5th grade I was able to qualify to become a
Compton Early College student. When I first heard this I never even knew
what was Compton Early College. When my teacher told me more about
it she told me to ask my parents if I was allowed. Of course they said yes.
My teacher had to do a ton of work of getting me into Compton Early
College. And I was equally scared. After a few days my teacher told me
that if I wanted to become a Compton Early College Student I had to go
take a test to see if I was worthy of becoming a part Compton Early
College. For those weeks leading up to that test I was stressed out. I
keeped up imagining myself falling that test. So to make sure that I would
past that test I went on and study the time leading up to that test. I studied
for hours and hours, until the day arrived. That day my heart was going as
fast as a lion chasing its prey. So I waited then I went into the test. The
test was fairly difficult, all of the standard 6th grade questions. After a few
hours I had finished it. Then it was time to wait. I was getting scared,
“maybe they found a better pick than me” I said. But after a few weeks
after the test My teacher called me and the other kids who worthy of
going to Compton Early College over and said they she got all of the
passing marks. Then in relife she said all of the people named and that
included me. I was ecstatic to say for the least. And that's what I think
was my greatest achievement.
P The reason why my When doing this slide, I had a very hard time doing this. The reason
parents don't talk about that it was hard trying to do this slide, is because I have never really
politics talked to my parents about politics. So today I went and asked my
parents don’t like talking about politics. During the afternoon I went
to my mother and said, “ Hey mom why don’t we talk about politics.
She looked kinda surprised when I asked the question. She replied
“Why do you ask ?” .I kinda expected that question so I replied” Oh,
It just for a project for class.She replied “Well Ernesto I’ll tell you
why because it’s for a class. I looked at her kinda amazed since we
just never talk about politics. My mom said “ The reason why we
don’t talk about because, I think that it's just a bunch of problems
that you don’t need to worry about. I don’t think that I looked at
politics in that way, just because it’s things just not for me. So I
replied “ Why don’t we need to worry about politics?” She replied ¨
Since we can leave the big things to the important people.” After
hearing that I decided, she answered all if my questions. So after
she said all of that .I said ¨ Ok I think that's it for all of my questions
for my project for my classroom. She gave a hat pat, then she let
me free to go and write up this project. So after my question, Why
wont my family won't talk about politics a lot is because. The politics
are things that other important people should discuss. It would just
a waste of time talking about politics and decreasing because we
aren't able to change the politics in any way. In a way I like it since I
don't have to make any big decisions about politics
Every time I get allowance I always spend it was too fast.
So in this story I learned how to stop spend my allowance
E every time I get immediately. So it was a bright summer morning, before I
allowance slept I did all my chores that day. So I knew that day i was
going to get a large sum of money. When I got out of my
bed I saw a grand 30$. So when we visited the store the
next day I immediately rush to the candy section. I saw kid
sprawling the section, babies on the floor toddlers walking
around, I was astounded by all the candy was begging to to
grab. When I finished getting the candy I wanted I went to
where my mother was she said that I had a lot of money
and your just going to spend it on something your going to
use one time. I realized in my tiny 7 year old head that I
should spend my money much more wisely and spend it on
bigger thing. The reason I included this is because im going
to get me a mouse the make my life a bit easier for a long
time, instead of a short one
S What is my family What is my family social structure, so in this story I try to figure out my
social structure? family social structure with my family help and also clues. So to figure out
my family social structure I would need to find out what my mother and
dad do for there placement in the social structure of class. So first I went
up to my own mother and then said to her“ Hey mom.” She replied “Yes
honey”. I said back what do you do for a job she said “ I work as an elderly
caretaker.” She also said why are you asking for, since it was just such a
sudden question. “ I replied “ Oh, Its for a project im doing right now for a
class I have.”. She replied “ Well go have fun typing that project out
honey.”. So next went up into my father room. He was in his chair
watching TV. I go up to him and ask what he was watching, He was
watching a Dodgers game on the TV. Then I asked “ Dad could I ask you
some question about our income and where do you think we come in
social structure class?” He replied “ sure son I want to be able to help as
much as possible, But could I ask you a question. Why are you asking me
this in the first place because you never talk about this stuff.” I replied “ It’s
for a question for a project that i'm having now.”. He nodded ,then replied
by saying “ Well if I were to rank myself on a social structure I think we
would rank middle since I have a decent paying job. After that I went out of
the room since I had all my information and I did not want to distract him
from his game that he was watching. After all of that I think my family
social structure is about in the middle. Since my family dont have the best
jobs, or the worse
