July 27, 2013

Today I went to my brothers graduation. I saw my dads side of the family there and we all sat through the ceremony. I don’t think any of us wanted to be there but it dosen’t matter anyways because we all wanted to see my kuya jester graduate. After that we went to my Uncle Ray’s house to eat dinner and celebrate my brothers accomplishment and we also played a little poker. I didn’t decide to write in this to just talk about how everything went but to just put my thoughts down on a page and hope that noone ever reads the words till I am long dead and forgotten. As the party went on we all were talking and having fun and the reoccurring subject that came up is my future. Well I do have a litlle bit of an idea  of what I want to be but not completely. I don’t think any of us know what we want to be but through our lives we keep searching and searching till we are in a hospital and if we are lucky we will reach the answer right before we die. I don’t know why but as I write this I have Emma Stone’s voice in my head saying these words. I keep trying to decide what I want to be but it isn’t a concrete thing yet. Anyways my mom started to talk to me about it in the car. I don’t know for what reason but every time she talks I just want her to shut up. Its not that I don’t love her or anything like that but its so annoying hearing her nag about everything. Also that made me think about how our family is completely split in 2 as far as personality goes. My mom’s side is all sophisticated and shit. While my dad’s side is laid back a little. Not that they don’t both care for education because in America who dosen’t. but they approach the same topic from different points of views. I think this creates internal conflict within myself which I think will help me become a complete person. I think when my mom talks to me though she kinda degrades me. Its like why the hel did you do this or that. I don’t know what it is but that makes me not want to listen to her. I know she wants to convey a message but she needs to convey her message in a different way. So I don’t know what I want to do with my life I think I will either be some kind of computer artist or a lawyer or a journalist. Its kinda scary to think that working is so close. Being out in the real world applying for jobs hoping you get an offer and then proving yourself to a company. I guess teens document everything because they don’t want to be forgotten. They want to be remembered by all the generations. What happens when we die? Do we go to heaven or hell or do we just rot in the ground. I hope there is somewhere else. I hate how parents want to know everything about you and then when you tell them the truth its like oh I am so offended how could you say that. Well you wanted the truth right now you got it. So that was my dad full of difficult thought about the future. 

Should Marijuana Be Legalized?

I think Marijuana should be legalized. I think it should be legalized because it is a natural drug that comes from the Earth. If it comes from the Earth I believe it should be good for you. Some hospitals have used this before but most people are hesitant on it. I believe it should be treated as any other drug. It should have to be prescribed and if someone gets it not prescribed to them they should be punished for it.  If they legalize it people will feel better when they are prescribed to take it. I believe people feel guilty right now when they are prescribed it because everybody thinks marijuana is a bad thing. If you legalize it then people who take the drug won’t feel so bad when they take it. I believe in today’s America if someone is seen taking Marijuana they are perceived as a bad person. I don’t believe these statements should go through the people’s minds in America. I understand that people can take the drug for the wrong reasons but you can do that with any drug. People take drugs for the wrong reason in anything from sports, television to everyday life. Legalizing Marijuana would be like legalizing any other drug. I believe if alcohol is legal so should Marijuana. They both are claimed to do bad things to you so then why should alcohol be legal and not Marijuana? I think the consequences when caught being drunk and driving and high and driving should be the same. I think if you legalize it less people will be in jail also. A lot of people go to jail for being caught with this drug. So if you legalize it then it will get people who have done nothing wrong out of jail. This will get cops that are looking for marijuana users off of that and onto more important matters. Also if you legalize the drug fewer teens will use it because they won’t feel as cool because they know it’s illegal. Legalizing it would also make gangs not have to sell it. If American companies sell it then it will help our economy and also gangs would stop selling it because the people would know they could get the same thing legally and not get arrested. As you can see from this paper legalizing this drug will keep people out of jail and the people that need to use the drug will not feel so bad when they use the drug they are prescribed. I believe if marijuana is legalized it will have a lot of beneficial effects.



A Memorable Christmas

  Christmas is always a memorable time but the Christmas of 2011 was one of the most memorable for me. On this Christmas we went to Germany and Brussels with a couple of my mothers friends. We started our trip very early at about 6 a.m. We took a van all the way there. It was a very long and tiring ride. During the drive we watched movies and played video games on the PSP. We took many stops at the Auto Grill’s and we took one detour to the Swarovski store. The Swarovski store was very big and was on a garden. We looked around there for a couple hours but bought barely anything because everything cost a lot of money. After we left we made our way to Belgium in Brussels. We walked around the city for a while. We saw many things in the city and when we were about to leave the city we had some of their world famous waffles. Then we went to Ramstein, Germany. When we got on the base I was amazed on how big the base was. We went to the mall on the base. The mall was really big and had a lot of stores. There was a lot of restaurants in their food court. When we got there I ate at this one restaurant called Jonny Rockets. They had American food there and the place looked like a 50’s dinner. We then went around the mall and looked at all the stores. There was a lot of things there that we could not find in Naples so I was excited to go look around. I went with one of my friends around the mall. We went in the electronics area and saw a lot of games, TV’s and computers. Then we went and looked at some clothes and they also had a lot of things that was not in Naples. After that we went to the hat store. There was a lot of hats there. They had a lot of different styles. I got two hats from this store. One was a brown hat with a S and a D on it for San Diego. Also I got a black hat with the Lakers sign. I was really happy to get these because I had not gotten one in a while. After a couple hours in the mall we went to our hotel on the Spangdalen base. After a long day we went to our hotel and opened our present because by this time it was already Christmas I got a shirt from my parents. I liked it a lot. After opening presents we all went to bed and had smiles on all of our faces. This Christmas was very memorable to me because we traveled a lot and saw a lot of things and also I got to spend time with friends and family.



Wellness Survey

Last week I took some tests to see my present level of fitness.  I found out that my present level of fitness is average. I found out that my flexibility is at an average level. I can improve this by stretching when I wake up and before I go to sleep at night. Another way I can improve my flexibility level is to stretch more often before exercise. I can also stretch more muscle groups and stretch more thoroughly when I do stretch. I also found out in these tests that my mile is above average. I can improve this by running everyday. This will help me because it will build my endurance and I will be able to run more in the future. I can also run more intensely by doing drills that require me to be quicker.  This will help me because I will be able to run faster and when you combine it with running everyday I will be able to run fast and for a long time. These are some ways I can improve my fitness.

  There are also other areas of my fitness that I have to work on such as abdominal strength and vitality capacity. I can increase my abdominal strength by doing sit-ups every morning.  I think this will not only help my abdominal strength but will also increase my other areas of fitness.. I can improve my vitality capacity by running more often. I can also do this by swimming. I think swimming will help me because I will have to control my breathing so I think I will be able to hold more air in my lungs by controlling how I breathe. I think these are ways I can improve my physical fitness.

  I think I can improve my fitness in many ways. A few ways I can do this is by continuing to exercise, eating well and to improve social wellness. I can keep my physical fitness by continuing to do sports. I can also do this by trying new sports. I can eat well by watching what I eat in the future. Also in the future I can eat less fatty food. I can improve my social wellness by talking to friends and family regularly and consulting them when I have problems. I can also improve social wellness by writing down my thoughts everyday. These are ways I can improve fitness.

My Favorite Vacation

  My favorite vacation was when I went to LA with my Brother and my Dad. We went to Magic Mountain and Nike Town. It was a great experience because I had time to spend with my brother who I had not seen in a while and we got to have a lot of fun. It all started with a trip to Magic Mountain. My brother and I went together because my dad wanted to stay behind because he couldn’t handle the rides. We met up with some of my brother’s friends later and stayed with them too.

  The day started when we got dropped off by my dad at Magic Mountain. We then walked around and found a ride. Then we went on it. The ride was a lot of fun because it was really fast and intense. After that we met up with my brothers friends at a ride and went on with them. Later through the day we kept going on different rides. On one of them we went through the ride and then went through it again backwards. After riding for a while we went and got something to eat. After we had lunch we walked around to let the food digest. Then we went on some other rides. My favorite one came at the end. It was called X. It was my favorite because it was fast paced and very thrilling. In the ride you were hanging off your seat. Then you went through a normal type roller coaster.  After a long and exciting day we went back to the hotel.


  The next day took a drive to Nike Town because my Brother had recommended going here. It was very nice there. They had tons of shoes there. We looked around to see what was there. We each picked out a pair and our Dad bought them. It was a lot because these shoes weren’t out in other stores and this was the only store that had them. After that we went home. This trip was my favorite because I had a lot of fun and I got to spend time with my brother who I had not seen in a long time. 

My Favorite Gift

My favorite gift was given to me on Christmas. It was and Ipod. It was a 64GB and had a black front that is a touch screen and at the top there is a camera on it. The back has a reflective cover with the apple sign in the middle. In the box it came with an adapter and headphones that both connected at the bottom. The headphones fit in to the ear and are white. This is how my favorite gift looked like.

  The Ipod came with many features.  On feature it has is a music app. On the app you can download songs off Itunes and listen to them.

My Favorite Athlete

My favorite athlete is Ichiro Suzuki. He is my favorite athlete because he is a very good hitter and I hope to be like him I also like him because he has a very strong arm and can throw very far. He is a great inspiration to me to get better at baseball.  These are reasons why Ichiro is my favorite athlete.


 Ichiro Suzuki was born on October 22, 1973 in Toyama Japan. He has 2 hitting records one for most hits in a single season and most consecutive 200 hit seasons. He started playing baseball in high school and later moved to America and started playing for the Seattle Mariners. In his rookie season he led the American League in stolen bases and batting average and also got a golden glove. He got one for his first 10 years of playing. He also has a hitting streak high of 27 and 7 20 game hitting streaks. He has become a international phenomenon and became so famous to mail something to him all you have to put is Ichiro. As you can see Ichiro Suzuki is a great athlete and a consistent hitter. These are reasons why he is my favorite athlete and one day I hope to be like him.

Health quiz observations

  I have conducted on an experiment on my father and me to see how we compare in how healthy we are. I have found out that we are very different health wise. I believe this is the case because of how we handle situations and how often and how intense we exercise and how what we have time for. Our exercise programs are very different I exercise a lot and intensely while my father exercises hardly and with low intensity. We basically have the same eating habits so that does not affect our differences in health. I believe we eat the same foods because we eat most of our meals together and almost always eat the same thing. Another factor that is in how I calculated our scores is age. I think age is a big factor because teenager’s metabolisms are higher than older people. Another factor is our lifestyles my father works many hours on a desk while I work much less hours at school giving me more time to do physical activities.  So I believe my score is higher due to more time to exercise and lifestyle choices.

February 7, 2012

Today I woke up and then went to school. In school I didn’t do much. In P.E. we watched a video. Then it was break. I talked with my friends a little then went to seminar. In seminar I worked on my Algebra homework I forgot to do. Then I headed to physics after the bell rang. In physics we watched a video. While we were watching Nikki and I were talking to each other. After the period ended we went to lunch. I had steak for lunch. It was pretty good. After lunch I headed to Algebra. In Algebra we turned in our work and took notes. After the bell rang I went home and got my stuff for practice. At practice Coach Lord wasn’t there so Coach Nichols took over. He made us run a lot it made us mad. We also got to play games and shoot a little bit which we liked. After practice I went home and ate. I had fried chicken with mashed potatoes and vegetables. It was good. Then I went to the Circe due cele performance. It was really cool. They did a lot of flips and did things I didn’t even know people could do with there bodies.

February 5, 2012

This weekend was long and a lot of fun. It all started on Thursday. We got out of school at 1:00. During the day of school we didn’t really do anything since the day was short. After school I went home for a little bit before I went to practice. Practice was very easy because we had a game against Aviano the next day. The next day I woke up and ate breakfast. Then I went into the room and played games for a little. By the time I had finished playing it was already 3:00 p.m. So I headed to practice. At practice our coach gave us the news that we were not going to play Aviano. We were angry we weren’t going to play them because we had been preparing for this game the whole week. He asked us if we were too upset to play but we decided to still have practice. We didn’t do much since it was Friday and we were not supposed to have a game. Then one of our coaches asked one of the adults if we could play their team. They accepted our challenge. We were excited to have a game after all. Then our coach let us go to change and get ready for our game. We played very hard and I even got to play at the end of the game. After the game I went home with my mom and dad. Then we ate dinner and went to sleep. On Saturday I woke up and started by eating breakfast. I ate Tuyo and rice with corned beef. Then I went to the tennis courts and had a lesson with Jan. The lesson was very useful and we worked on my serve heavily. After the lesson I went home. At home I didn’t really do anything. Then we got a called from Jerick’s parents. They called us to come and celebrate his birthday at their house. When we walked in I saw all of Jerick’s friends. It was kind of awkward being there because I didn’t really know them. I mean I knew who they were but I never hung out with them or anything like that. After a while I started to get comfortable around them. While we ate we watched Madea’s Big Happy Family. It was funny after this we went to his room and started to prank call people. It was pretty funny. After a good time of prank calling people we went to the bowling alley to go cosmic bowling. It was a lot of fun it was completely dark and everything you wore glowed up like light bulbs.  Jerick and I bowled for an hour till my mom picked us up. Then we both said bye and went home and went to bed. Today I woke up and went to church. Church was very quiet with the pastor preaching his words. I wasn’t really listening but I picked out some things. After church we went out and ate the donuts provided outside the building. Then I went over to my friends and we talked. After a while I had to go to Sunday school. We learned about the story of Martha. We talked about it deeply. Then I went home. I was not home for long because we had to go to a Fil-Am meeting. They ended up not having a meeting though so we ended up just eating. Then we went home and rested. After a while we got a call from Jerick’s mom inviting us for dinner. We then headed down for dinner. We had steak it was delicious after a couple hours of eating, talking, watching T.V. and having a good time we left. Then I got ready for bed and went to sleep. This weekend was filled with fun and I really enjoyed it.

Today we went to my mom’s sponsor’s house. At her house we ate, We wte pasta it was good. After we ate all the kids played hide and go seek and boogie man. They were a lot of fun. Then we left and headed home. At about 11:00 a.m. I woke up and watched T.V.
I believe this camp will be a great experience for me. I think this because I have never surfed before even though I have lived in California for almost my whole life. Right now I live in Italy and I am about to go back to California and I would love to learn to surf before I go back to my home. I think this camp can teach me a lot about surfing and I think I will meet a lot of new people. I love meeting new people. I think this camp will affect me because I will be on my own for one of the first times. Most of my life I have always been watched by my parents going to this camp could not only teach me to surf but also teach me to become more independent. I would love to go to this camp because I have been to Hawaii many times but never to surf. I think this is kind of funny because Hawaii has the best waves in the world. I would like to go to Hawaii to finally surf. I also want to go to this camp to go to Hawaii. I love Hawaii it is beautiful and very warm. I also love the atmosphere of Hawaii it is so mellow.
Being a part of military family has been a difficult but fun experience. The experience has been hard at times but has been a lot of fun. Because of being a part of a military family I have met some amazing people who live all over the world. For most military children it is hard to go a long time without their parents but I think this especially true when both of your parents are in the military. There are a lot of ups and downs to being a military child. The ups are meeting new people and being able to travel all over the world. Being a military child has brought me too many countries such as Japan, Italy, France, Poland and Germany. There are also downsides to being a military child. One downside is being away from my mom and dad for long periods of time. I know this is a part of their job but I always miss them. I ill always remember when they come. I would always be so excited waiting at the dock for my mom or dad to walk of the ship and for them to hold me in their arms again. We would always talk about their adventures and they would always bring me something when they came back and I would always be excited to receive the trinkets they would give me. Being a part of a military family has put a lot of great people in my life. I now have friends all over the world. I have friends from as far west as California, as far east as Bahrain, as far north as Germany and as far south as South Africa. Being a part of a military family has also been great because of sports. Sports has always been a very big part of my life but being in Europe has put the experiences of sports to a new level. I have been part of many teams in Italy I made both of the Little League All Star teams for Naples which took me to Rimini, Italy and the next year took me to Kutno, Poland. In these countries I met people from South Africa, Germany, Italy as well as other European countries As you can see because of being a military child I have traveled a lot and met many new people even though a lot of times I had to be away from my parents for long periods of time.

Macbeth Essay Prompt #1

There are a few characters that can be considered as Macbeth’s foil character but the character that fits the title as the foil character is Lady Macbeth. This is true because they are complete opposites at the beginning and end of the play. In the beginning of the play Macbeth is very cautious about killing Duncan. While Lady Macbeth is saying that he should just kill him and not think about it.. After the killing Macbeth feels a lot of guilt and is worried about what other people will think about him. Lady Macbeth tells him not to be scared and questions his manhood. She feels that he is weak and that if she had killed King Duncan she would have just forgot about it. This highlights both of them because Macbeth is seen as a noble person because of his regret and it shows the reader that Lady Macbeth is a heartless woman because she is so business like about the murder. At the end of the play they switch places Macbeth becomes the business like killer and Lady Macbeth is thinking about the people they murder. Macbeth kills Banquo’s wife and son. After the killing he feels no compassion. However Lady Macbeth says that killing them was unnecessary because they were just a woman and child. This shows her sympathy towards these people. Lady Macbeth and Macbeth are definitely foil characters because at the beginning Lady Macbeth is heartless while Macbeth is sympathetic and at the end they switch places. Lady Macbeth’s transformation as a person definitely highlights Macbeth’s characteristics because of how they react to the events that happen in the play differently.

Prompt #2

In the letter from Birmingham jail by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. he uses both religion and patriotism to try and explain to the clergymen on why he is in Birmingham. He tries to emphasize them both but he uses religion more often than patriotism to try and explain to them because he wants to appeal to their moral values more than the law. He uses this to explain to them about his predicament because at the time what he was doing was against what society thought to be patriotic. At the time they thought that segregation was a patriotic thing. His first use of appealing to their religious beliefs is when he says in paragraph 4 that he has to correct was is going on by saying that “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” He is saying that he knows he was parading without a permit but he was not brought to jail because of that. Dr. king says that he was brought to jail because the government wants to preserve the injustice that has been brought to the society.

  He also starts to begin to explain about just and unjust laws and how to determine the differences to the clergymen. He uses these examples to appeal to their religion because he says that just laws are something that goes against what God believes to be right. This is very effective because these people he is writing to are people of the church and they believe in doing what is right to god so for Dr. King to say that segregation is an unjust
Rodriguez pg. 2
law and goes against how God intended mankind to live appeals to these particular individuals better than if Dr. King were to say that his act was more patriotic. This is true because the history of the Christians involves civil disobedience and Dr. King says that he is doing the same thing as some of the prophets as he says “Of Course this is nothing new with this kind of civil disobedience. It was seen sublimely in the refusal of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to obey the laws of Nebuchadnezzar because a higher moral value was involved” (Dr. King ¶ 17).

Another way he tries to appeal to the men who wrote to him is as a patriotic way he says that even though something is legal it doesn’t mean it is patriotic. He says to the man in paragraph 6 that they took the legal steps for their case and tried to do it the patriotic way but the courts would not look at their case. He says that the court kept postponing their date on the case. Dr. King told the men that his people were tired of waiting for them and they took action and even though he did break the law of parading without a permit the real reason he was put in the jail was to preserve the segregation in America.


In the Letter from Birmingham Jail Dr. King appeals to the clergymen’s political and religious side. In the end the on that was more affective was the appeal to their religion. This was a better way of explaining to the men because in the Christian religion they did practice civil disobedience. So appealing to their religion would be more effective. Even though both were effective at proving Dr. King’s point emphasizing the religion was more effective.        

Health quiz observations

  I have conducted on an experiment on my father and me to see how we compare in how healthy we are. I have found out that we are very different health wise. I believe this is the case because of how we handle situations and how often and how intense we exercise and how what we have time for. Our exercise programs are very different I exercise a lot and intensely while my father exercises hardly and with low intensity. We basically have the same eating habits so that does not affect our differences in health. I believe we eat the same foods because we eat most of our meals together and almost always eat the same thing. Another factor that is in how I calculated our scores is age. I think age is a big factor because teenager’s metabolisms are higher than older people. Another factor is our lifestyles my father works many hours on a desk while I work much less hours at school giving me more time to do physical activities.  So I believe my score is higher due to more time to exercise and lifestyle choices.

Frank Lloyd Wright

I was born on June 8, 1867 in Richland Center Wisconsin. My mother was a teacher and my father was a preacher and musician. We were constantly moving and never really settled in one house. I would spend summers with my mother’s family in Wisconsin. While visiting them I fell in love with the landscape of the area. The hills there were so beautiful and fascinating. In 1885 I graduated from high school. After that my parents got a divorce and I went to college at the University of Wisconsin to study civil engineering. To help pay for tuition I helped the architect build the Unity Chapel and after the experience that’s when I knew I wanted to be an architect. (Frank Lloyd Wright-Biography. N.p., n.d.

We then moved to Spring Green Wisconsin and my mother gave me some land that was owned by my ancestors for us to live on. I built a house on that land 

Diabetes

Diabetes is a major problem in the United States and is the 5th leading killer to Americans. There are 3 types of diabetes. Type 1, Type 2 and gestational diabetes. There are 2 ways to prevent Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The first way to prevent Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes is through medication and the other way is through a good diet and exercise. In 2001 doctors conducted a study where one group of people only used medication with their normal diet and exercise and the other group had a good diet and exercise without medication to prevent their diabetes. A proper diet and exercise proved to be a better way to prevent diabetes. Out of this group only 14% of the participants were diagnosed with diabetes. While in the group that only used medicine and had the same diet and exercise routines as before the testing ended up having 22% of its participants diagnosed with diabetes. The third type of diabetes is gestational diabetes. This type of diabetes develops in 2-5% of all pregnancies but usually disappears when the pregnancy is over. After the pregnancy 5-10 % of the 2-5% who was diagnosed in the pregnancy develops Type 2 diabetes. As you can see diabetes is a very big problem in America but can be prevented with a good diet, exercise and medication.

The Crucifixion



The Crucifixion is a story about a man named Jesus and about how he was crucified by the Romans. The story begins when the high priests and elders of the San Hedrin want Jesus to be crucified because of his influence in the Roman Empire. Even though the Priests were powerful they did not have the jurisdiction to crucify him they had to get the approval of the Roman government. They then took Jesus to Pontius Pilate who was the Roman governor. At the end of the trial the governor found Jesus innocent of his accusations. The crowds were outraged by the verdict and demanded for him to be crucified. Pontius gave into the crowd and said that he shall be crucified. Before Jesus’’ actual crucifixion he was scourged (publically beaten). He was also mocked, hit on the head and spit on by the crowds of people who watched the beating. A crown of thorns was then put on his head and he was stripped naked.  On his way up to be crucified Simon and Cyrene carried his cross to Golgotha, the spot of the crucifixion.  He was crucified in between 2 thieves. One mocked him and said “ If you are the son of god then get of the cross.” While the other asked him for forgiveness and asked him if he could go to heaven. Jesus died before sunset when the guards came to break his legs. The guards then stabbed him when they got there. At sunset he was taken off the cross by Joseph and buried in a tomb by Jewish tradition. After 3 days the tomb was gone and Jesus was resurrected. This is the story of how Jesus was put on trial, then killed and what happened after his death.

The Goal

The Goal
By Aaron Rodriguez

Sports is what I enjoy to do.
Doing them makes me happy
Happiness happens when I win
Winning is why I train
Training helps me achieve greatness
Greatness is the ultimate goal
Goals are what I set to get better
Better and better I must become
Becoming this will cause me to win
Winning is the greatest feeling
Feelings must be pushed aside to focus
Focusing is the state of mind I must be in
In the game I am relaxed
Relaxed I must be to play at my best
The Best is the title I want to have when I play sports
