=SHORT STORY= Last Saturday Morning, my birthday week, I received some flowers and chocolates at my door from an anonymous. I did not know who it was from so I did not bother this first time. After my husband got back from work, we ate dinner and I asked him if it was him who had sent it. He said no and then i wondered.. He began to get suspicious about this problem. This was the first time it happened so we decided to just forget about. A couple days later it was a beautiful sunny day, I made breakfast and my husband and I decided to watch movies and relax for the day. We got a call on the house phone and they said to go outside and look. We went outside as he told us to and we saw two boxes waiting for us. We mysteriously took them in the house to open them. On the box it said anonymous, and inside were roses, jewelry, and lots of chocolates, like this person was trying to impress me. My husband repeatedly said that he was my secret admirer and that he was trying to take me away from him! I then began to get much more scared and nervous because of the fact that he can be stalking me and following me around. It passed a week and I was so much relieved knowing that the man or whoever it was has not sent me anything else, and so was my husband. Now I wouldn’t have to worry about anyone bothering me and sending me gifts that I did not need or want.

This person was very anonymous. It had no name, address, or number. But the next day.. The doorbell rang and I stepped out to see who it was. I saw that it was a stranger with again flowers and chocolates. I said sorry this is the wrong house and he replied with an intense no. I then asked what his name was and he said Jim Tran, I still did not have a clue of who he was. Of course I asked for him to not bother to come or send anything to this house, and he said okay then and walked away.

Jim Tran, the stranger, never returned in my life.

Man VS Nature This boy and his father are forced to leave earth and to settle in a new world, which is Nova Prime. Some ranger crops were against them and the Nova Prime. Cypher and his son Katai were in a space flight while their ship was caught by an asteroid shower. They both landed on Earth, Cypher with both broken legs and Katai safely wrapped to a wall of seats. His father immediately instructs him in locating the ship. Cypher gave his son equipment he would need in trying to breath in the new world and others to protect himself. If he failed the attempt they both would suffer into death. Katai then leaves on his mission and has to deal with many different dangerous animals. Soon after he was almost done with his breathing capsule, he reached the ship and a rescue team arrived to rescue him and his father. They then returned to Nova Prime, their world.

**Animals Point Of View.**
As I woke up to the early morning and windy trees, and also to my calf daughter cuddling right next to me for the cold night. I stood up high reaching for the trees to have a great meal. My long neck reached up to leafy green leaves. My baby calf was born with a short neck and had a possibility of dying because of not getting to reach up to the high tall trees. But each day she gets stronger and stronger but there is still a chance of dying. I try hard each day to be strong for her and support her. I then thought of an idea. I have a long neck and I can reach the trees and my baby calf. I don’t think a giraffe like me has ever thought of that. It was then time to try my idea. I reached up as high as I can to reach the trees and the leafy trees. When I got the leaves I then bent my neck down to give my baby calf the food. She was very sick and needed something to eat, but I knew that when I gave her the leaves she seemed very hungry and ready to eat. I then gave her much more because she had a day of starving. I would do this every morning when we awoke and also every night. I then saw my baby calf getting better and better each day. Day after day she recovered from starving. I would feed her each and everyday. She became healthy and her neck grew and grew to the point where I didn't have to feed her and she would reach up herself. It was a great change, seeing her sick to seeing her recover and grow.

The reason I chose this book was because I heard that it was a great book and when I read the back I thought that it seemed interesting and a bit sad. The main characters are Esperanza, Papa, and Abuelita. The setting is in Mexico on the family's ranch. The first ten pages showed how close Esperanza and her dad were. Every year when the grapes were harvested, Esperanza would turn another year and they would celebrate each and every year. Her friends and family would always come along and celebrate.Their family lived on a ranch and harvested. When she got pricked by a red bloom, she started gushing blood and she immediately thought bad luck so she bandaged it up. On the day of her birthday she would be serenaded by Papa and the men singing Las Mañanitas.

1. One of the conditions described in this poem that I think would be hard to fulfill is to walk with kings. I think that the easiest one to fulfill is to trust yourself when all men doubt you.2.
 * 4/21/14 | "If"**

3. A person should think of another person like themselves, and think of their feelings and how it would impact yourself. Yes, i think this is reasonable because it would help if people thought of how it would feel to them. 6. I think that young people today can relate to this poem because it teaches a lot about caring and counting on anyone or yourself.
 * 1) If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, which means to trust yourself when no one else does.
 * 2) Or being lied about, don't deal with lies, which means to tell the truth or to be honest and not lie.
 * 3) Or being hated, don't give away to hating, which means ignore the hates.
 * 4) If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, which means to not be shy and talk to crowds and still keep your happiness.
 * 5) If all men count with you, but none too much, which means that there is someone out there who counts on you.

**4/16/14 | "Me"** 1. I would like to meet the speaker of "Me" because he seems like a happy and upbeat person to be around.

2. Walter de la Mare compares himself to a tree and a flower. A quality shared by the things to which the speaker compares himself to is being on of a kind.

3. De la Mare says he shall always be himself. This statement suggests that people should be them self and be one of a kind, also to not be someone else because everyone else is taken.

4. De la Mare feels not so great about being himself because he feels alone and miserable. One specific word that shows that is "forlorn". A person is "just me"by being themselves but enjoying it.

**4/15/14 | "Song of Myself" & "I'm Nobody"** 1. I would rather spend a time with the speaker of "Song of Myself"' because they seem more positive and content.

2. In line four and five the speaker is celebrating and brings her soul so she feels like she is celebrating more. This action is a celebration of self because she probably feels better doing it on her own and probably people do it more often alone.

3. Whitman said that he is the one largest world that is enough. His image of himself is probably very important to himself. He is passing on advice that you should think of yourself as a good person.

4.Dickinson said that if it is revealed that she is a "nobody" she will be banished. She'd probably feel sad about this because she'd not want get sent away. Her poem shows some of the difficulties celebrities face probably because they are in public a lot and they feel too crowded or popular.

5. For Dickinson Nobodies are better than Somebodies because they are less popular, or less famous. Also she can stay and write poems. I do not agree that it is better to be a nobody than a somebody because being somebody can be very good and fun and also you get to do more things in life & meet new people.

April 9, 2014 Dear Ms. Labas, Welcome to iMiddle! I am glad you are here at iMiddle and that you are our new principal! But I’m sure that I’m not the only one that is proud. Imiddle is a great school and you will definitely enjoy it. Imiddle is very smart, which you will love. Being responsible is very important and you will find that here at this school. People are very kind and respectful. Honestly I love this school just how it is, but there is just one thing that I think pretty much every girl does not like, the dress code. Every girl has that cute tank top in their closet or shorts that they really want to wear to school on a hot day but the problem is that we can’t because of the dress code. Some girls have long arms so they’re shorts seem a bit short on them.



Character Matters Essay

Respect is very important. Respect can change the world and many people love respect. It is important because people can feel important or treated correctly. When people feel or are respected they feel much better than they usually do when someone says something mean or insulting to them. They also feel cared about or thought about and no lonely. If someone is disrespected they will feel like if nobody cares about them or if they’re hated, it just does not feel right. If you are respected it feels so much better. Respecting people around the world can make so many people happy and it can make a difference because there are many people out there who have been insulted or disrespected and if you give on nice respectful comment to them it can make them smile or brighten up their day. Being respectful or saying one important thing to someone that probably has been bullied or something. There is also responsibility. Responsibility is very important and everyone knows it. Everyone should have responsibility and be responsible. If you were not responsible, many things can happen like if you had to be responsible for carrying a net-book around school every day and you left it somewhere, that is not being responsible. If you are going to be responsible you have to show that you are going to take care of the net-book well.

The article “[|Thousands of sea stars succumb to disease on the West Coast]”is about sea stars are starting to die because of a disease. This disease is named the Sea Star Syndrome. Some symptoms are twisting in the arms, and white marks on the starfish's body. One way they could die super fast is after a loss of arms and softening of tissue. Along the west coast it is estimated to be a population of tens of millions of starfishes, and it is unknown how many are being killed by this disease. This has happened before as far south of San DIego about 2,500 miles away from the Anchorage.Scientists think that the disease is caused by an infection.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton was personally a good and deep book. It showed all the major friendships in the book like when someone thinks that someone doesn’t care about them but in the book it shows the process of how they do care about each other. That was actually my favorite part of the book. One part that I personally liked was how they ended the book, also how Ponyboy changes attitude and thoughts. This book shows people struggling through family phases and people changing. It shows people growing stronger and becoming what they wanted to be or just happier. One of the best parts was the ending where it said “stay gold” because it actually means a lot and was in the story so it just got you thinking till the end to think about what “stay gold” meant.

Two similar movies are //The Vow// and //Endless Love//. Although, they do have some differences. The reason I think these two movies are similar is because they’re about two young couples that are in love but still have school which is something that isn’t good for the relationship because they go elsewhere for college. Both couples try to sneak each other into their homes and try spending as much time together until they leave to school or separate from each other. Both these couples get in a car accident and the girls loose there memory. Although in //The Vow// she loses her memory for her whole life except the ones with her ex-boyfriend and not the ones from after that. In both movies both couples try to keep separated from each other and in the end they stay friends, but in //Endless Love// they were still in love.

January 28, 2014 20 Years From Now

Twenty years from now I will be 32. When I am 32 I will want to have my own house and I will want to have a husband and at least two kids. Being 32and having children will mean having lots of responsibility. Responsibility includes having money, so when I’m 32 I will have a good job. My present has to do with my future so if I study hard and get good grades and a good job I will have good money to care for my family. Twenty years from now I am going to have my parents spot. I am going to act the same with my children how my parents did because my parents are a big influence and help in my life so I want to be just like them with my kids. When I am 32 I will know how to take care of my own kids. I will be grown intelligent women. In twenty years I imagine myself as at least a doctor with kids and very busy women. I will be successful

January 27, 2014 Second Semester My goals for this semester is to keep my grades good such as A’s and B’s. By doing that I am going to do my homework every night, turn them in on time, study for tests, and concentrate as much as I can. When I am having trouble with homework to ask the teacher or a friend for help until I understand. My goal is to get A’s because I need to focus and earn pints and grades to bump up my grades or keep it up. Doing my assignments every day will bring up my grade but if I have any missing assignments it will drop my grade so my goal is to not have any missing assignments in any classes. These assignments can be worth many points and will bump up my grade if I have a bad grade. This second semester I am really going to focus on my work. Last semester I had a low C and my grade would drop a lot because of missing assignments and I feel like I was not trying enough but this semester I am willing to try much harder and achieve my goals.

January 16. 2014 Outsiders Theme Questions

1. Do you have friends whose social, ethnic, or economic backgrounds differ from yours? How do these conditions affect your relationship? Well I don’t really know but it doesn’t really change our relationship because it’s not about the money, so no it does not affect my friendship in any way. 2. To what extent does a person’s environment determine their success and happiness? Is it possible to overcome your environment? If so, how? Yes, you can overcome the bad environment by probably ignoring it. 3.. How is a gang like a family? A gang is probably like a family because they stick together. 4. What do you think it takes to make someone a hero? It probably does not take a lot because if you do one good thing someone will like you for your effort and hardworking. 5. What is your definition of an “outsider.”? My definition of an outsider is like a person who goes out a lot and isn’t home a lot and likes being outside more than inside.

1. I think that the meanest thing that Scrooge did in Act 1 was when he wanted his money back so desperately when he already his so much money and also when they said that if they don't give him his money he will jail them. 2. Jacob Marley is a specter. One clue he gave about his personality as a living person was when he said' "Oh, no, there is no doubt i am dead..."

12.11.13burial - bury personsolemnized - prayed bestow - pull cubicle - office chair profited - accomplished derived - done parliament - sickness intact - great loony - busy seizes - yells at

12.10.13Scrooges persona changed in time. he was a very mean and not understanding person who did not care about anything and think before he said anything. But after the one lady showed Scrooge around he became more understanding. He started looking back and caring about stuff that was important and that he didn't notice in the beginning, Also after the guy came to his house and took Scrooge with him by touching his robe, Scrooge understood that what he said hurt other people and that he should've never said those things. He also became to think that he was a very mean and disrespectful guy. When he become more caring and happy he started to change, he started to say hi to more people, say nice things to everyone. He changed a lot by understanding how of a mean person he was and that what he said was very uncaring.

12.9.13The Pearl and The Christmas Carol are both similar because there are in both stories rich people who are very mean, disrespectful, and with no heart. There is also poor people who are known as very caring, loving, kind people. I also noticed that in both stories the kids are injured like Tim and Coyotito.

12.5.13 Scrooge is a very disrespectful and not caring man. He is also very rude. “You don’t know us “, said a man. “I don’t want to know you”, said Scrooge. These people wanted money for the poor in need, but Scrooge didn’t give money because he did not know how they were suffering. Scrooge is a very lonely man and protective when he’s at home. He does not believe in ghosts but he is scared of them. In the movie it seems like Scrooge does not like Christmas but it is because he was neglected by friends. Scrooge was not an understanding person, but when it came to poor he did not care.

12.04.13Elementary and Middle school are both very similar and different. Some differences are that middle school has 7 classes and more than one teacher and elementary has only one teacher. Also that in middle school there is PE everyday where you have to change and in elementary you have once a week and you don't change.In middle school you don't have recess you only have about 30 minutes of lunch and in elementary school you have lunch for 15 minutes and recess for 15 minutes.

12.2.13 Logical – We used logical thinking in math class. Evidence- The evidence from the police was very helpful. Infer – With the evidence we can infer whether its true or not. Imply – The teacher asked me to imply my opinion. Personification – We had to put personification into our writing. Metaphor- The teacher used many metaphors in his writing. Synthesize- We like to synthesize information from the books. Apostrophe – An apostrophe is used to shorten two words. Theme (as it applies to literature) – The theme they picked was very colorful. Literature – Many people think literature is very important.

The Mystery (Story)

By Michelle Uriostegui

It was a Monday morning when the Jackson family suffered a crisis in their house. Someone had robbed them. They were missing 1,000 dollars from the money drawer. They did not k know when and who did it. They were very unhappy so they called the police. The police investigated thoroughly for fingerprints. The fingerprints were enough but the family wanted more evidence.

The police was very disappointed because the fingerprints were enough. So they investigated the fingerprints more. The family was not so happy but they followed along with the police's opinion of what to do. So the police searched more around the house and found out that the person who robbed the money was younger than 20. The Jackson’s thought about who it would be. But they couldn’t figure out whom. So the police searched more. They thought that if it was a family member they would know that they filled the drawer with money every day so the police put cameras in every room in the house.

The next day, they watched what the cameras recorded. They saw a tall man who looked recognizable to the family. They thought about who would be 20 or under. They thought that

// The Mystery //

maybe it was one of their cousins named Jake. They then went to Jakes house and asked him “Why are you stealing our money from our house”. Jake was nervous and did not know what to say. The police then suspected that it was Jake because according to his parents he was out all night and always came back with a bag. But they did not know what. They thought it was the money!

The whole Jackson family was very disappointed and did not know that it would be him. They did not know how to keep the house private and secure anymore. But Jake was arrested.

“Goodbye Family, I am very sorry for my mistake. I will never do it again.” Jake said in a sad voice.

“Well you’re going to be in prison for quite a while so you won’t and when you come out you won’t ever want to do it again” said the police officers.

The Jackson family was sad that he was leaving but they thought it was a good decision so that Jake could learn his lesson and never do it again.

A Few Months Later

A couple months after he was taken to jail, the whole Jackson Family got a call from jail saying that Jake was received dead in his cell. He had had a heart attack.

Jake was nervous and did not know what to say. The police then suspected that it was Jake because according to his parents he was out all night and always came back with a bag. But they did not know what. They thought it was the money! So they asked Jake politely to hand them the money. Jake was very honest and said “Yes I am sorry, I did steal the money” and then gave it back.

Michelle Uriostegui Period 3

Hi my name is Michelle Uriostegui, I am 11 turning 12 on September 29. I have one brother and one sister. My brother is 16 and my sister is 5. I was born in San Diego., California. My favorite subject in school is Math. My favorite colors are baby blue, light pink, and light purple. When I grow up I am planning to be a vet or a teacher. I really want to help others in need.

One of my favorite events in life was on Christmas. The reason why it was one of he best moments in my life was because I got everything I asked for and more! It was also lots of fun because I got to spend time with most of my family. We had so much food!!! There was even a chocolate fountain. Yum! I was really thankful for everything they got me. It was one of the best days ever! I was so happy and very thankful! Michelle's Homework Page

In my opinion, I think that my grade in English is good. My grade in English is a C. But I think that I can do better and that my grade could go up to at least a B or an A. I think that if I can move up my grade to an A or at least a B then that will be much better than an A. I probably got a C because I think that I should try harder, put more details, and write more.
