The most impacting person

I think the person who has had the most impact on my life other than family is my friend Nate. Nate and I have known each other for a long time and he has taught me a lot about life in the years I've known him. He's one of those guys who believe in fairness and doing the right thing. For example if he saw someone steal something from a store, he would pay for the thing they stole with his own money. He's a pretty cool guy!

Ugly President

I don't think our country would elect an ugly president because they're our leader. He is supposed to be a example of what people should be like, and an ugly president wouldn't really show that. You never know though because we had never elected a black president until our current one.

Yesterday

Yesterday I planned on going straight home, but I ended up going to work for 3 hours. When I was there, it was pretty slow and this guy named mike left to get food. We only did one car while he was gone. Mike almost popped a car wheel by running over this metal pole but he dgaf'ed and just kept on going. It all turned out being fine though.

Journal Entry

Today I'm going to go home after school and clean my room because I've been busy on the weekends working. I work every Saturday and Sunday no matter what including days in the week that change from week to week. Today I don't have work so I finally get to catch up on cleaning my room.

My weekend

I worked a lot this weekend. On Saturday I had to call into my job at Bj's auto spa so I could work at Safeway. I worked for 5 hours and when I got off work I went to a ASU football game with my mom. She works at ASU so she gets free tickets for the games. During the game a Haboob hit the statium, it was pretty cool. Everyone started to throw paper in the air so there was trash flying around above the statium for like 30 minutes. On Sunday I worked from 7:30am to 3:30pm at Bj's and then from 5:00pm to 10:00pm at safeway.

TED 2

Who gave the talk?
Susan Savage
What was subject and summary?This talk was about the species : Banohbeu. This is a species of apes and they are very much like humans in a sexual way. Banohbeus have an easier time walk on two legs than the chimpanzees. They are very intelligent and learn very easily just by watching someone do it.
Did you learn something from the talk?
I learned a lot about this magnificient creature while watching this video. The mother Banohbeu normally grooms their baby with they hands in the wild, but after letting them see how to use scissors they started grooming their children by cutting their hair with scissors. They have a language of their own. They have a chart with symbols on it that mean different words. The Banohbeus write on the ground with chalk to let the humans know they wanted to go for a walk.
Did the talk make you think or change your mind?
This video talk made me realize how smart monkies are and what they're capable of.

School Spirit

I think dressing up is sick! It's fun to look at what people wear. I personally don't dress up because it's not really my thing but I do participate once in a way for like blue out day or whatever because I actually have the clothes for it. I don't want to go out and buy the stuff for spirit day because I don't want to spend money since I'm trying to buy a car right now.

Test 2

1. The purpose of the spot healing brush tool is to blend colors to match. For example, to get rid of bumps on your forehead in a picture.
2. It will make no changes to the picture you're using it on.
6. The magic wand tool, because they both select a certain color when you click on an image.

Feedback:

I think there was enough time to learn the tools. I believe I did learn the tools well enough. Maybe showing us a little more from your screen to explain the purpose of the tool would help me learn a little more in the future.

Today after school

I'm going to walk home and get my bike, then ride it to Zac's house. Then I'm going to go home and skate.

Today

Today after school I have a lot of homework that is due tomorrow. I have to copy history notes into one comp notebook and make those notes into a story in my second comp notebook. I also have to create a character of my own that is a made up but is a believable person. Another thing I need to do is read, but I have a good book and I actually want to read it.

My favorite place to eat

My favorite place to eat is probably at my grandparents house. She makes really good food. Both of my grandparents do come to think of it. They make completely different foods from each other. My grandma on my mom's side is 100% japanese so her type of food is more asian. On my dad's side my grandma is more italian so she makes a lot of pastas.

My Day!!!!!

Today after school I need to finish a power point presentation for my enviornmental science class. I need to do it about a pest in my world. In the presentation I need to explain what the pest's purpose is in the world. I'm doing mine on rats and I found out that they do actually have a purpose. In the wild rats eat grains and other seeds and some of their food sticks to their fur and it transfers to a new location.

After High School

I'm going to Arizona State University after I graduate. I'm not sure what field I'm going to but hopefully I'll know by the end of Senior year.

Yesterday

Yesterday I worked for my first day at Safeway. When I got there I got introduced to a lot of the main things to look out for. I was waiting to recieve my worker's I.D. number so I could punch in the time schedule. As I was waiting this other courtesy clerk that has been there for 3 months came into the room and introduced himself to me. We talked for a while and he gave me a lot of good tips. Throughout the day he showed me how to do a lot of the stuff my job required. When I was working I had to do these things called sweeps which are going through the store and checking if anything needs to be sweeped up or cleaned up. I have to do 1 sweep every hour. I also bagged groceries a lot of the time I was working. Another main part of my job was to collect shopping carts.

September 12th, 2011

Yesterday, I went into Safeway for my job training at 1:00. When I got there I walked around the store trying to just get a basic understanding of  where everything was located. After I was done I when up to my manager so I could fill out the I-9 forms and get my job training. She got me started and I started watching the videos. There was a series of videos that were from 10 minutes, to 50 minutes. I had to watch about 20 of them. I was there from 1:00 to 7:40 in the evening. I did learn a lot though so it was worth the time.

Test 1

1. The slice tool is used for taking part of an image and moving it to a new location.
5. The tolerance is the amount of flexibility that it has. The higher the tolerance, the more space will be selected. Likewise the lower it is, the less space will be selected due to it being more strict about the color.
8. The ruler is used for measuring a length on a image. You use it by selecting the edge of an image and moving your mouse to the other side of the image you are measuring. The purpose of this tool is to measure the length of an image.

My opinion of the test.
This test was fair for my skills. I did fine when asked to learn on my own, although I find it easier for you to show us. My overall experience was that it was kinda stressful keeping up with the test, but I did it anyways.

Friday

Today I get paid from my car wash job. It's going to about $200.00, but I'm very excited because it's the first pay check that I've ever gotten in my life. I'm trying to buy a car so after I get paid I'll have about 500 dollars and I worked an extra 2 weeks so I'll get another 200 dollars from that. I also got a new job at Safeway as a curtesty clerk makiung $7.35 an hour. I get a minimum of 20 hours a week so that's pretty cool.

Most important thing.

The most important thing in my life other than my family is my friends. Without friends I think you would go crazy. Suicide is a problem and people who are different that don't have many friends tend to not have as much self confidence as people who do. Therefore they are more likely to commit suicide. Another example is if you and your friends get into a fight and you stop hanging out with them, and you don't have anyone else to talk to, then you would be bored. Friends are a very important part of my life and I love meeting new people.

Voting!

When I am older I am going to vote. I want to help choose who is going to be running our country. I've never really been excited to be a voter but I would vote. 1 vote does matter so hopefully I'll be able to make a difference. I havn't really researched what kind of people I want running the country but maybe when I get closer to being able to vote ill get more into it. Right now I would not vote even if I could because i'm not really sure what my choice would be.

Journal Entry

This weekend I worked for the third week at my job at BJ's. I get paid this coming Friday and it should be about $200.00 or more. This will help me with buying a car. I'm planning on getting a car by December. By then I should have about $1200.00 plus my mom said she would pitch in $500.00 if I needed it. I should get a decient car with that amount. I'm planning on getting a Honda CRX, but probably won't due to my money limit. That would be really cool if I ended up getting one that runs good.

School Pride

School pride is kind of like talking about how great your school is and attending all the school events. People who dress up for spirit day and help out with student government. Wearing your school's logo or objects that are from your school is showing school pride. I've never really had school pride in the sense that I dress up for spirit day but I do wear Deer Valley stuff and I'm proud to say I go to DV.

SCHOOL

If I could change something about my experience at school it would be lunch. I want french fries back and I want the regular sized cups from freshman year. I'm a junior now so that means from 2 years ago. Also the pink lemonaid is literally 80% water and 15% lemonaid and 5% pink. I think we should have an asian section in our cafeteria. We have sub sandwiches, pizza, chicken sandwiches, mexcan bar, and once in a while in our random food of the day area we have like pasta or turkey and mashed potatoes. We never have asain food like rice or sushi. I also think they should supply us with chop sticks for us asains who had to take a summer class on how to use a fork. I would bring chop sticks to school, but then I might get made fun of by bullies. Okay that's all for today! BYE
