Are not allowed to play sports because they need do stand on there work and no by are going to to make the team or do have enough time to do there homework. They should also way think about school before any thing and there grade too because if they don’t have the grade to play then.

SPA Movie and Game Day Reflection


When I arrived at school on Friday I was ready for my first period class. I was walking to the cafeteria. I saw Derek and he told me that it wasn’t a regular school day, and that everyone had to watch a movie and play games. We watched a movie. The movie was called “Freedom Writers.” It was about teenagers who were gang bangers. The teacher was trying to teach them that life isn’t always about fighting and gangs--life can be so much better without having people killed for walking on the wrong side of the street. When it was time to play the games, it was pretty packed in the gym. Everybody was cheering for their class. Juniors won all games. Then Mr. Walker dismissed everybody. It was then time to eat. There were hot dogs and hamburgers. I really enjoyed that day because we didn’t have to do classwork.

SPA Movie & Games Day Paragraph

Homeroom Reform Essay

P'Jay, Andrew, and I wrote this for the KNSD Homeroom Reform Essay Contest.

I think SPA is a good school because there’s a series of sports that gives us chances in life such as Andrew Pascualgoing to college, playing basketball or any sport while you get there. I know most foster kids don’t make it in life but I know there’s a possible way to succeed in life. I love basketball, maybe when I get a chance I’ll be in the NCAA. There are positive goals, then there are negative goals. It all depends on how you achieve this goal. Making pointless goals will get you “nowhere.” That’s probably one out of many reasons kids drop out of high school.Now when you fall from where you became successful, you process positive changes that shapes your future.SPA is a chance of being a successful student that is if you do what is need to be done and then strive and get to the greatest advantage, and that advantage is getting a scholarship and proceeding through out your future. Accomplish a dream that you really want throughout your life whether it’ll be a professional basketball player, or doing something you enjoy.

We are writing an essay to let people know about SPA and what we need here and how life here at SPA is. San Pasqual Academy is a home for foster youth and the kids came here for schooling and a home. They have either come from a bad environment r this is just a temporary placement till the court knows what to do. Either way they still live here and need a family. This facility gives us foster youth a chance to get into college. According to statistics foster youth are less likely to make it into college or get a home and keep a job. There are various sports teams her at SPA but we would like another basketball gym, specifically an outside one. Although this is a foster youth facility we do follow the rules as though we are a normal high school. Our GPA’s have to be at a certain level to play our sports. We also have curfew here depending on your grades you can either come in earlier or stay out later but no later than 10:00 on the weekends and 9:00 during the school week. This awesome facility has been opened since 2001, and we really love it here. We would love it more if we had an outside basketball court.

Why does SPA need funding? Spa needs this funding to help us and stay in shape. That statement goes right back to us needing an outside basketball court. This could really help us stay away from the drama and drugs. We would have two gyms to keep the kids that like inside gyms and volleyball inside. Think about it on a day where everyone wants to go to the gym and it gets way too hot, this happens all the time then we have students passing out on the floor. We could even use the money to build another gym period for the kids that like other sports we could start a new sport here. I like gymnastics and so does a few other kids but we do not have that here or cheer leading, but we really want it. This prize could really be our chance to make our home a better place for us.

We as students need an outdoor basketball gym to develop our stamina so when sports come we can participate in sport activities such as basketball, soccer, football, track, and baseball. These sports would keep us active and healthy. Plus when we join a team, it’ll be no problem running back and fourth. Conditioning takes a major part in sport activities, making sure you breathe properly and focusing on movements during games. Having a prize would be good for our school, having kids get involved in sports they like instead of football, and basketball. Well how are we going to participate in sport activities if we get lower GPA lower than a 2.0

Our contributions to these hopes that all ready been made is joining contests just like this one. We are writing these to show how we need things the other kids have. It would be helpful if we had a other basketball court for us. Taking our hope publicity to ask Jammer to get us a other basketball court. So people will stay study and pay attention. In class and the wont have much kick out.

“SPA Theme Song.” Tie My Hands"

(Robin Thicke)
We are at war
With the universe falling whThis is
The sky is like when people are at war
and the only thing that can save us now And soen ther try to find out
is sensitivity and compassion what going on so then their mad at
But I know one thing's for sure the world.So that why it when thire need help they go and find what they need to stay happy at were their
I'm gonna get my kicks before it all burns down stay.

(Lil Wayne)
yeah, Some say tragedy is hard to get over
But some time that tragedy means its over, soulja
from the academy, league of rollers
I deny being down though they seem to hold us
my shoulders are strong, i prove them wrong
I ain't doing nothin but movin on, let the truth be known
But they talk that freedom matters, and didn't even leave a ladder, damn
(Robin Thicke)
I work at the corner store
We all got problems problems
Who was gon fight alone
No one's gon save us now
How you feel, you're not alone
We're all just jealous jealous
We don't reach the sky no more
We just can't overcome no

Chorus (Robin Thicke)
You tie my hands
What am I gonna be
What have I done so bad
What is my destiny
You tie my hands
What am I supposed to see
What have I done so bad
What am I gonna be

(Lil Wayne)
I, knock on the door, hope isn't home,
fates not around, the lucks all gone
don't ask me whats wrong, ask me whats right
and ima tell you whats life
and did you know?
I lost everything, but I ain't the only one
first came the hurricane, then the morning sun
Excuse me if I'm on one, and don't trip if i light one, i walk a tight one
They try to tell me keep my eyes open
my whole city under water, some people still floatin
and they wonder why black people still voting, cause your presidents still chokin
Take away the football team, the basketball team
now all we got is me to represent New Orleans, shit

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/tie-my-hands-lyrics-robin-thicke.html ]

no governor, no help from the mayor
just a steady beatin heart, and a wish and a prayer
lets pray

(Robin Thicke)
These friends they come and go
but I got family family
These kids so fast they grow
They learn so quickly now
But there's no where to go,
but there's future future
Don't make this seem so low
And we can't overcome

Chorus

(Lil Wayne)
and if you come from under that water then theres fresh air
just breathe baby, gods got a blessing to spare
yes, i know the process has so much stress
but its the progress that feels the best
cause i came from the projects straight to success
and your next, so try they cant steal your pride its inside
then find it and keep on grinding
cause in every dark cloud theres a silver lining
I know...

yeah, yeah... yeah
see... Right now we just riding on love
And shine in the dark, we aint tryna do nothing be at the heart
We need love, that's all now

Chorus:
You tie my hands, what am i gonna be
What have i done so bad, what is my destiny
You tie my hands, what am I going to see
What have I done so bad, what am I gonna be

Born right here in the USA
But due to tragedy, looked on by the whole world as a refugee
So, accept my emotion, do not take it as an offensive gesture
It's just the epitome of my soul
And I must be me
We got spirit y'all
We go spirit
We got soul y'all
We got soul
They don't want us to see, But we already know

The song "Tie My Hands" go alone with SPA because when thire stuff going on some people think thire in war with everybody. If some people just dont get alone with people here some they try everything smach what was going on so they make it the bigger promble it is. So when it end up done somebody is all ready going to hurt them self. So them when it came around the staff there dose help in a way. They do help us with our schooling or help us to help us with living skill.

"The Sniper" Fear

When facing heart-pounding fear, people perform well, because are they brave enough to put themselves in that position to help others. For example, during the terrorist attacks of 9-11, the people who were in the jet which got hijacked had to be brave enough to stand up for themselves. They also had to fight to save their lives. They also had to stay calm. All of these people, weren't expecting to go through the situation they went through, but they had to do whatever they could to save their lives.
