Rainier era un niño bastante tranquilo para su edad, gordito, bajito y un poco amanerado. El mismo siempre era victima de los dos Bullies más pesados de la escuela. Bobby era el Bully mayor de la escuela, siempre molestando a los demás, abría su gran bocota para disparar improperios para todo aquel que le parecía. Este se pasaba con Mencha que era una Bully pasiva, pues con mucha picardía y sosiego se burlaba de los demás haciendo presunciones de superioridad. Mencha le reía todas las gracias al tal Bobby que no perdía la oportunidad de molestar al pobre Rainier. ¡Rainier, feo!, ¡Rainier pato! “Vente Mencha vamos tirarle par de huevos a Rainier” y Mencha le decía “!Ay si, vete tiraselos!”.
Una tarde de Halloween a eso de las 3PM, Rainier se disponía a salir de la escuela y a tomar la guagua para su casa. En el camino se percata que el tal Bobby y la Mencha se disponían no solo a tirarle huevos si no también lo amenazaban de darle una pela de Halloween. Rainier con mucho temor corrió de nuevo a la escuela a decirle a la Directora, Mrs. Popcornhead, sobre lo que le estaba sucediendo y que esta vez temía por su vida por la amenaza que estos le hacían. Mrs. Popcornhead le dijo: “nene yo lo siento, te tienes que ir pa’la guagua porque voy a cerrar la escuela y me tengo que ir a hacer mis comprar de pre-x-mas”. Rainier no sabia que hacer y le suplicó que no lo dejara solo pues el tal Bobby y la Mencha lo estaban esperando al lado de la guagua. La directora sin mucho caso se montó en su auto y se fue dejando al pobre Rainier fuera de la escuela. A su paso vio a la mama de uno de sus compañeros y le dijo lo que estaba pasando y esta le dijo: “Mijo resuélvete que me tengo que ir a hacer las uñas en el Beauty de Loly y estoy late, vete por ay que no te va a pasar na’ ”.
A Rainier no le quedo otro remedio que ver de lejos como el tal Bobby lo esperaba en la parada de la guagua con la Mencha para darle una pela y tirarle huevos. La guagua llegó y el pobre Rainier no se pudo montar por no atreverse a estar cerca de estos Bullies. Así le pasó la guagua por el lado y el chofer ni miró pal lado; mientras comenzaba a llover y Rainier bajo la lluvia caminaba, por más de media hora, mojado hasta llegar a su hogar ensopao. Así la abuelita de Rainier lo esperaba preguntándole de su tardanza y de lo mojado que estaba y el le dijo: “tuve que caminar, bajo la lluvia, no coger la guagua y llegar aquí sin estar marcao como siempre me ha pasao”.

Wanda's Oratory UB 08
[Good (morning / afternoon) ladies and gentlemen in the audience, I will now deliver my speech on: Leader in Action.]
What is a leader?
According to John C. Maxwell a leader is a person that masters skills such as: disciplined, relationships, attitude and respect.
Some people believe that a leader is a person who speaks for others, or the one who raises his voice so his words can be heard. I believe a leader is someone that leads by example!
No matter who we are or where we come from, we can all be leaders!
Nowadays, some teenagers constantly express that they are not leaders; following others thinking is cool to perform the same way as someone else in order to fit in the crowd. Sadly, this is the reason why many join gangs and become followers instead.
In fact, this doesn’t have to be like that, because inside of all of us we have the capacity to be successful leaders. Probably, we are not good at everything, but there is always something that we are good at, so parting from there, we can become leaders at what we can do best.
-Take Martin Luther King Jr. as an example.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a leader who impacted the world with his mighty voice. He spoke; he raised his voice, proclaimed and said: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”. He fought, not only for his own rights, but for the rights of all living beings. An individual who spoke out his dreams to the world and those words were heard. His words were the cry of millions, but no one heard these cries until Martin Luther King Jr. stood up and spoke.
-Bringing freedom!
-Bringing peace!
-and stopping segregation!
These things were obtained by just standing up and speaking out loud. It only took one person for all of this to occur, so without doubts, Dr. King is one of the greatest examples of becoming a leader.
Another great example of leadership which impacted the world was Mahatma Gandhi. He led his country to independence, becoming one of India’s greatest leaders. Gandhi is known today around the world for his example of leadership and virtue.
On one hand we have to acknowledge some worldwide, well known leaders such as:
-Rigoberta Menchu: recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize and The Prince of Austria’s Award
-Nelson Mandela: President of South Africa. Leader of the African National Congress which led his country to the first multi-racial election
-Princess Diana of Whales: also known as Lady Di. An advocator of AIDS Awareness and Spoke activist against landmines
On the other hand we have leaders which are unfortunately only known at their own little neighborhoods, but nonetheless as important as all those well-known people!
Do you know who Julio Ramirez is? Maybe you do not know him, but I do! Despite his limitations, he decided to stand up and work for those in need within his community. Julio decided to become a leader in his community and make a difference, by remembering everyone to be loving and compassionate toward others.
By seeing the lives of these people, helps us to acknowledge that we have to raise our voices in order to be heard. We can and have to become good leaders and stop being followers, stop imitating the bad things that other people do. Leading not only with our voices, but with our daily actions!
True leaders always make their words heard. Leadership is not a word; it’s what one decides to be today. True leaders speak for those who need to be heard. A leader tries to make a difference in ones society, country and even the world.
This is my question: Are you a leader or just a follower?
-You select!
-You choose your destiny!
-Today is the day to decide!
We can reach leadership today, its right there for us and it’s not impossible to reach. Just by standing here and speaking about leadership helps to become a leader.
Today, I stand here eager and full of hope that my message could encourage every one of you to stand up and let others listen to your voice!
-Let us make a difference in the world!
-You can not wait for this to get any better by itself!
-You should stand up today!
Raise your voice; let everyone listen to your words. Let those words be filled with love and compassion. Let us lead not thinking of us, but in everyone else’s looking within people’s hearts, seeing what’s inside of them and by doing this we all can say:
-I am a leader!
Thank You!

[Good (morning / afternoon) ladies and gentlemen in the audience, I will now deliver my speech on: Equality for All]
“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”
These were the words of a very wise man:
- Abraham Lincoln,
who successfully led his nation through its greatest internal crisis, preserving unity and ending slavery.
This outspoken man fought the first steps for equality and justice for all,
beyond the conception of ones worth due to our skin color.
-The chronicles of our fellow humans take us to acknowledge the facts of Trujillo’s time.
-Rafael Trujillo killed an estimated of thousands of Haitians because he believed they were hiding his Dominican enemies.
His days were considered the bloodiest era for the Dominicans in the 20th century.
-Hatred, is not a thing of the past; it’s still present today
In the rejection of:
-Culture
-Religions
-Life styles
-And ways of thinking
Even, Pulitzer Award winner Junot Diaz in his book “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” presents the sad reality of people rejected by their ethnic background, obesity problems and skin color bringing to our modern days the facts of the cruel world full of injustice where love is no longer skin deep.
Many other remarkable citizens forge the first steps towards a new beginning FREE of discrimination.
For Example:
Award winners such as:
-KIM DAE JUNG: fighter of democracy and human rights in Korea.
-SHIRIN EBADI: Supporter of democracy and children rights in Iran.
-MARTTI AHTISAARI: Promoter of solving conflicts in Tanzania, Zambia and Somalia.
And even late,
-John F. Kennedy – Left a legacy by helping during the turbulent end of racial discrimination in his era.
Worldwide there is a lot of work to be done.
We should work together to fight against:
Bullying,
Sweatshops,
Censorship,
Female mutilation,
Homophobia,
And child labor
This generation should stand tall and follow the steps of the peace makers in our modern world.
Furthermore, contemporary icons such as Angelina Jolie and Ricky Martin, far beyond their popularity, have worked as goodwill ambassadors, advocators against child cruelty and supporting parity.
And Yes! Even YOU and I with our simple examples combined with daily deeds of kindness towards others can make a difference in the direction of equality.
This is the reason why our young voices gather here today;
-because we have chosen hope over fear,
-unity of purpose over conflict
-and harmony over discord.
-The challenges we face are real.
-They are serious as well as many.
-These will not be met easily, nor in a short span of time.
But know this, my friends!
We have to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises,
to the recriminations and worn out dogmas,
that for far too long have strangled our society.
Taking the spoken words of President Barack Obama, which stated publicly
that “we have to see our society as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions;
greater than all the differences
of birth,
of wealth,
or faction.
-We are a [society] of Christians and Muslims,
-Jews and Hindus –
-As well as non-believers.
-We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth;
because we have tasted the bitter swill of war along with segregation,
and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united,
we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass;
the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve;
As the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself;
It’s vital that we must play the role of ushering a new era of peace and acceptance for all”.
-Xenophobia is not just the conception of hate towards unequals.
-But it’s the ugliest reality that many have to face.
-Many, struggled till the end and others paid with their own life to make a difference.
-Let’s do as Martin Luther King Jr. once proclaimed:
And “…live in a nation where we will not be judged by the mere color of our skin; but by the content of our character”.

Pets for sale - choosing the right pet for your lifestyle
by Mel C
There are various kinds of pet shops that you are likely to find with the sign 'pets for sale' in your neighborhood. These pet shops allow you to choose from a range of animals that are suitable for owning as pets. But the fact is that not all shops that have pets for sale shall tell you that you need to be extremely judicious when you decide the pet that you want to have in your household. The first thing that you need to keep in mind while considering pets for sale is whom you are buying the pet for. Is the pet something that you are getting for your son or for your daughter or is it something that you are eager to own yourself? This is extremely important to understand because you do not want to get a pet that needs adults to ensure adequate care if you are buying the pet to encourage some sense of responsibility in your child. The second thing that you need to consider is the available time that you have. If you are a working person who does not have ample time to spend at home buying a dog is quite out of the question. Dogs need a fair amount of time and attention and care too. They need to be taken for long walks, especially if you have a large breed. In such cases, low maintenance pets like fishes, hamsters or love birds should be preferred. Last but not the least you also need to consider finances when you are looking for pets for sale. Pure breed dogs and cats are fairly expensive and if you want to be good to your pet, you will need to feed them good quality dog or cat food.

The Book of My Life
Antonio A. Vega Ayala Journal#7 Oct.8, 2009
I will title the book of my life?
Jesus Christ in my life. Why? Because When I grow up I can write about that. The titles are going to be my work, my finance, my temptations, the purpose, my decisions, my protection. My work I will write about because he will help me in my work. My finance because he will help me in the way what do I do with my money.

When Sick I ...
Antonio A. Vega Ayala Journal#6 Oct.1, 2009
When sick I…
Don’t do nothing, all day in my room. I just talk, play cards, eat, and other things. When I’m sick I have to clean my hands every 2 hours. When I’m sick I feel sad tired. When I’m sick I like to be all day in my bed sleeping. When I’m sick I don’t go to school. When I’m sick my mom spoiled’s me. When I’m sick my mother makes me soup. When I’m sick I see movies all day. When I’m sick my mom gives me medicine. When I’m sick and I I’m very sick my mom takes me to the doctor. When I’m sick I have to be apart of my family. When I’m sick I like to be alone. When I’m sick my mom checks my temperature every single minutes. When I sick I don’t go anywhere.

When I’m sick I like to be all day in my bed sleeping. When I’m sick I don’t go to school. When I’m sick my mom spoiled’s me. When I’m sick my mother makes me soup. When I’m sick I see movies all day. When I’m sick my mom gives me medicine. When I’m sick and I I’m very sick my mom takes me to the doctor. When I’m sick I have to be apart of my family. When I’m sick I like to be alone. When I’m sick my mom checks my temperature every single minutes. When I sick I don’t go anywhere.
Bad Weather...
By Antonio A. Vega Ayala
Bad weather makes me feel:
Bad weather makes me feel good. Why? Because it’s good when it’s raining because I don’t go to school. When is raining my mom make soup and we play table games. We can share a movie together in family. When the weather is bad we can’t go anywhere. When the weather is raining the plants that we cultivate grow pretty. When the light goes my mom singing praises the Lord. Also we read and study the Bible. When the weather is bad we can’t go anywhere. Something good about the bad weather is that at night is cold. When a go to sleep I like to feel cold. Also when it’s raining the reserves full up. Also when there’s bad weather we call our cousins. After we call are cousins they come and we play hide-and-seek. Hide-and-seek is cool because it’s hard to find people that are hiding.Thet what I think about bad weather.

Parts of Speech
The Parts of Speech
Traditional grammar classifies words based on eight parts of speech: the verb, the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection.
Each part of speech explains not what the word is, but how the word is used. In fact, the same word can be a noun in one sentence and a verb or adjective in the next. The next few examples show how a word's part of speech can change from one sentence to the next, and following them is a series of sections on the individual parts of speech, followed by an exercise.
Books are made of ink, paper, and glue.
In this sentence, "books" is a noun, the subject of the sentence.
Deborah waits patiently while Bridget books the tickets.
Here "books" is a verb, and its subject is "Bridget."
We walk down the street.
In this sentence, "walk" is a verb, and its subject is the pronoun "we."
The mail carrier stood on the walk.
In this example, "walk" is a noun, which is part of a prepositional phrase describing where the mail carrier stood.
The town decided to build a new jail.
Here "jail" is a noun, which is the object of the infinitive phrase "to build."
The sheriff told us that if we did not leave town immediately he would jail us.
Here "jail" is part of the compound verb "would jail."
They heard high pitched cries in the middle of the night.
In this sentence, "cries" is a noun acting as the direct object of the verb "heard."
The baby cries all night long and all day long.
But here "cries" is a verb that describes the actions of the subject of the sentence, the baby.
The next few sections explain each of the parts of speech in detail. When you have finished, you might want to test yourself by trying the exercise.

I want to study Italian. Italian is a cool language.I will like to learn Italian just because my brother studied the same language. I will like to learn this language taking online courses just like my brother. My brother learns a lot of Italian words. Every single time that my brother was studying I tried to understand every word. I would like to learn this language in my house relaxed with my brother helping me if I don’t understand. I just started learning Italian so I will like to keep learning. With an Italian teacher that really knows Italian. I know; hello, how are you? In Italian (ciao, come stai?). I also know Fine and you? (Bene e tu?).I can actually make a sentence in Italian like; my favorite food is pizza (IL mio cibo preferito è la pizza). Or I could give you one of the quotes you gave me on Friday like “To belive yourself brave is to be brave” (“Per te belive coraggioso è di essere coraggiosi”). This entire thing I have given you in Italian I learn them in Internet with my brother. I have an especial brother that helps me with everything I need.

The first day of school I had to go to the doctor. So I didn’t have the time to go to school. I didn’t do much just played on the computer and watch TV. I also played basketball with my brother and Ds with my cousin.
8/11/09
The second day, which technically was my first day, was cool I liked all the teachers. They are cool I actually already knew most of them. Most of the classes were cool so I like everything. I started meeting new people, most of them are cool. Although I all ready had some friends because of my cousin Zoryan.
8/12/09
The third day was interesting because I met a new friend named Natalie she is as crazy as I am. We love being in “Dulce Sabor “. I love the “frape” of Oreo; it’s the best flavor that I’ve tried.
8/13/09
The fourth day was the day that I had my first Homework (” ahhhh” that is so not cool I wish I never have Homework in my life). I don’t like Homework; my home is not for doing work it’s for being relaxed. I am not going to be relaxed with homework, you have to be thinking and I don’t like thinking.
8/14/09
Yes, it’s Friday my favorite day; I love that day. Today is the day that my Social Studies teacher came; I don’t like Social Studies so much because of the days and dates. My favorite classes are Science, English and Mathematics.

Language I will like to learn
I will like to learn French. I will like to learn it because it’s curious. French for me is something rare because it’s different from us. I will like to learn French in France because I think you can learn it with out mistakes. I also will want to learn it by somebody that speaks French. I will like to learn it when I have 20 years old. ¿why? Because I think it’s to hard for me now. I hope I can go to France to learn French. I always thought I can learn French. And I know I’m going to learn it. In France I think it’s hard to learn but that doesn’t matter. French is good. I know it. And I’m going to learn it with somebody.

Journal #1 MY FIRST WEEK Valerie Cortes Rodriguez 7-2
My first week of school was awesome! I like my teachers, and the method that they give the class. I think maybe pur uniform can be better but I can do anything. I didn't think that a yellow polo goes with a navy blue uniform. I like too that in this new school have many groups (clubs) to participate. I think that this clubs help to invite all students to participate in many things and different activities. I liked too that all class-rooms have conditionar air. Something that I dislike was that in this school we donot have space to play sports and go outside for Gym Class. And I dislike too much that was time to come back to school and the school wasn't ready to start this year correctly. That so weird to new students that wait a lot like me, to know teachers "really" class-room. The teachers needs they own room too to be ready and have all they professionalamd personal things in they place. Something that I liked is tha we have a variety of places to eat (without counting that now we can go outside of the school) But I can't forget always was the lunch-room. I can't forget to say, that was a really disaster to start a year with GOOD RICE. It something out of place that in our 1st day give the food that they give us when the childrens did not come. (in my old school we do it in this method). And then said "CHILDRENS BRING A BAG OF RICE". We do it, but in my opinion, we are a specialized school, we suppose to have good rice maybe onlly in the 1st day. Well I finish saying what I liked and Disliked. But I Liked it too much.
My Reflection #1, Valerie Cortes Rodriguez 7-2 Sergio Ramirez Hostos
The Love The love: In theory, a war. In voting, a problem. In chemistry, a reaction. And in drawing, a heart.Everything on the love is not bad. 90% is very good, dut there are wars formed by the same. That pain that causes problems. But the love is necessary to know how to understand it. HAS ITS THEORY! Learn to use it. It is taken place, but it is enjoyed!

My 1st Week at School August 2009
Hello my name is George I will be writing about my first week at school. The first week of school, for me, is was all about telling my friends what I did during the summer. Most importantly to see my friends again. We talk like there were no tomorrow. This week we had a lot of homework, from Math to English. On Prof. Leroy class we tasked to make a Journal and to look for the definition of Scribe. On math we needed to write the rules for ×, −, ÷ and + rules of integers and rational numbers (fractions). On Industrial Arts we need to buy a 9’’ x 12’’ drawing pad, an eraser, mechanical pencil with metal tip and 50¢ for cardboard. On history class we need to bring an autobiography of 2 pages and present photo. So I got an iPhone and all my friends envy me for having it. I also have the biggest backpack on the group. So first week of school was the best. Hope the readers liked my journal. The best school year 2009-2010.

Aug. 17- 21 2009
The week started with the announcement of a hurricane that was going to hit our shores. However, several brief rain showers were present at our school. I got soak and wet very badly. The 1st Journal was quite weird some people were lost others did not care. Some students were happy about the Weekly Scribe others were disappointed because of the adding of new work. Coming out early makes me very hungry at the last period and I don’t really matter if for lunch they are serving just Raviolis, I will eat them all.
On Tuesday I was absent part of the day because I had to pay a Traffic Infraction for speeding. Nonetheless, I was able to give class to 8-1 and 8-2; I know that they were “very happy” about it. The day when fast and so did the students.
On Wednesday I calendarized most of students Scribes and Reflections. Some were making faces, some were happy and others didn’t care again. Time when by very fast and I almost ended without a voice due to the non stopping verbal workout.
On Thursday I gave to the students the infamous and hated words of vocabulary. Yes, I know it’s a lot but we have to do it. Using the Swine Flu as an excuse I basically told the kids that they should take a bath and wash themselves properly. Some made faces on the words of vocabulary and thought same old same old.
Finally the end of the week! I was really looking forward for this day. I bet everyone was very tired and a bit sad due to the upcoming schedule from 8 to 3 that will start on Monday. Some look at the rationale and acknowledge the overload of work. My room still has holes on the sealing and is being used a storage place. Being a Scribe was ok for me, but I have to admit that is was boring most of the time. After all it’s just the teacher’s point of view. I bet the students have better things to say next time.

My first week at School
My first week at school was amazing. Although I wake up at 5:15 AM, knowing that it is only until 12:00 noon is exciting. I get home early and have more time to study and share with my neighbors. In the afternoon, I enjoy riding my bike. At school, I met two new friends. I got to see my old friends and teachers.
Monday was the best day because I got to wear new clothes. The bookback is very cool. The shoes are very cool; they are Converse. I did not like the changes in the uniform because I was starting to get acquainted with the white shirt. Pale yellow is not my favorite color. To me, this week has been exciting and will continue the entire semester. I am willing to learn and do my best. I am excited because I will graduate in May. This year is full of new challenges.

My First Week of School
The day classes started, I was very nervous. My mom dropped me off, wished me good luck, and left. My timidity went away when I saw my elementary school friends. I was slightly disappointed when out of all the six friends that entered the school, I only got to take class with three of them. In science class, I did not like my assigned seat at all because I had to turn my chair to see what was written on the board. The day had passed and it had been quite good and all of the teachers seemed nice. The next day, we talked about the rules that hadn’t been discussed the day before and what we were hoping to learn during the school year. That same day, the class took a Spanish test to see what we already knew. Wednesday, we had a math exam that I considered very hard. By now, I was starting to socialize with the rest of the class and school. On Thursday, the math teacher discussed the test we had taken the day before. I barely passed the exam. The last day of the week, I handed in a drawing of a forest to the science teacher. My elementary school friends and I were a bit sad because one of our friends was absent for the whole five days. I enjoyed my first week of school and I look forward to the rest of the school year.

Tome la botella de agua, you shake it, toma un poco de agua, se moja la cara, las manos y mira la etiqueta con detenimiento. Dependiendo el gusto te tomas una taza de cafe o de un buen chocolate caliente. Cada hora abre un gallon de paciencia y pour it gently. Mix the 60 ounces of love thoroughly. Use your mind and stuff it in your paper. At the end you could use your pen, start writing and enjoy!!!
Most of the time writing means work, research, paper entries and essays. Nonetheless, it means a post card, a friendly e-mail or a list for the grocery store.
I do not have time for writing for pleasure; most of my writings is done in computer and technically.
Honestly, I am looking forward to develop the type of writing that comes from the heart and could be shared in a creative way!
I haven’t realized I am a writing. I am just a very technical person. I hope I could develop new creative writing skills and who knows if some day I could write a book or a fun novel!
