College Choices

• CUNY City C
• Drexel U
• Fairleigh Di. Metro
• Florida Inst Tec
• ITT Albany
• Lincoln Tech I NE Ph

The reasons why I chose these Colleges are the following:

1. I searched them up on college board and they matched my major and minor .

2. They are good Engineering schools.

3. My parents can afford it.

4.The schools have a comfortable environment.

5. The grade standards are enough for me.

Top 3 , starting with Fairleigh Di. Metro. This school has a good representation. I’ve been inspired by my aunt to apply to this school because she’s researched the school for herself and she explained the school to me, and I think I would love it there.

Florida Institute of Technology: I don’t know much about the school , but it has my major and minor. If I decide to go here it’ll be easy to commute because I’ll move in with my aunt and uncle which live in about 1 hour away which isn’t too bad.

CUNY: Also close to an aunt which I could go live with if anything. Very good school which I could most likely get into.

Brain Teaser

As you are walking down Limit Road, you see a mysterious smiling old man with a Boston Red Sox hat on.  You continue to walk on your path and you trip on the pavement because there was a small snail on the floor. You turn around and  happen to glance in his direction again because you wanted to see if he noticed when you fell, for you feel that maybe you know him. Seeing that he did not, you continue walking. In the matter of a second, he is across the street walking behind you.  Bewildered by this, you refocus on the path in front of you and start walking faster because you think he is following you.  As your eyes meet the end of the street, you notice a car crash on the corner, so you began to run to see.  The man begins to run too so now you know there is something wierd about this man.  When you reached the corner to see the accident, you began to think to yourself, “How could he ever move that fast, and now he is standing in right behind me!?”  Without him saying a word, he taps you on your shoulder and takes off his hat and says ” I noticed you was looking towards me , so I crossed the street to tell you that your shoes were untied.”

College Outlook ; Industrial & Vocational Arts

In the past years, jobs all around the United States have become scarse . Many people are un-employed and seeking for jobs daily. With a college level education, it is easier to locate jobs because less people can work in jobs with higher requirements (ex: doctors, lawyers, and policemen).

Some jobs become easier to start on then others. For example, anything under the Industrial & Vocational arts is a better and easier job to find. These are types of jobs that will never run out of things to do. These jobs are carried out on a daily bases, meaning people practice them and need them everyday.

• Every time I see Someone trip or fall on those videos it is just so hilarious. All you here is the person in the background,recording it , laughing hysterically.

2.The Cleveland Show

•Rilo is like the funniest character on the show. I love the way they make him seem like an adult when he’s only like 1 year old.

3.Spongebob

• The reason I find this show funny because the things they do are so dumb. They are suppose to be adults in a way, and at the same time they are little kids.

4. Michael Ward

• He has an nag for memorizing jokes he sees on t.v. It is like a natural thing he has that he just remembers all the jokes he sees on t.v. He says them exactly as they are said on t.v , its just so funny to watch and listen.

5. Friend Kenny M.

• He’s just naturally funny. He actually comes up with his jokes. He does not get them off anywhere. I could try saying his jokes but it would not be the same, everyone just stays quiet and all you here is crickets in the background.

6.  Baby’s Laugh

7. Natasha Saldarriaga

8. My father’s angry face

• My father can never be serious about anything. He can try to put a serious face but just seeing him try makes me laugh and that really gets him mad. Then after that I should stop smiling and be the serious one. That is if I want to stay neutral with him.

9.  Online Playstation 3

• The best thing to do while your playing online is to  listen to what all the other players say inside the chat rooms during a game. They come up with the craziest things that are just hysterical.

Earthquake strikes Indonesia

In the early morning , an earthquake struck Indonesia that killed about 500 people, injured more than 500, and caused massive destruction for revolving areas. “The 6.8 magnitude quake Thursday hit South Sumatra at 8:52 a.m. local time (9:52 p.m. Wednesday ET), about 89 miles (143 kilometers) from Bengkulu, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. The earlier quake Wednesday was 7.6 magnitude.” quoted from local CNN. Many people were still missing other than those who were dead and those who had injuries. Many people think they might be under collapsed house or buildings. “Worst hit was the West Sumatran capital of Padang, where officials estimate 376 people perished.” said one official.  On Thursday, many people were wandering the streets of Padang “stunned and dazed,” said CNN’s Mark Phillips. Some were searching the rubble for survivors, he said, but “there’s also a feeling that there aren’t that many survivors left.” “We had aid ready because this area of Indonesia is susceptible to this type of tragedy,” said Jane Cocking, humanitarian director for Oxfam. “Communications with the quake-zone are difficult, and we are hoping for the best but having to plan for the worst.”

Correct Posture

Can you do these stretches sitting down or standing up?

•Choose three of these stretches as your favorite.  Why did you select them?

• The Imagination Stretch- It is helpful for me because I have shoulder problems so when I stretch my shoulder blades out, it relaxes the muscles.
