Portfolio - Improvement
Over the past two years, I have improved my reading, writing and speaking skills. Before high school, I wasn’t able to understand what I was reading very well. Now, I am able to understand and verify the context and use context clues to understand what I am reading. I improve these skills by practicing and getting help. I practiced by reading out loud to myself. My speaking skills weren’t that good. I wasn’t really able to speak English. I had to learn a different language and that didn’t help my schooling. I had improved where I can spell words and put things together. Before high school, I wasn’t able to work well in group. I didn’t do any school work or anything that involved turning it work. Now, I am turning my work on sometimes and I know who to ask for help when I need it. I am always checking if I have done my homework. I have improved where I am turning assignments and always asking for help. I check my work to see if I turned it in. I will have someone check it over for me and help me. My technology skill before high school were a little bad than there are now. As long my as teacher helps I think it will get much better. It will help me for when I move on to college and it will help me in life. I will improve spelling things out and I will take time to write it out. The next two years I will take everything that I learned in school and it will help me to move on with my life. It will help me talk to people and help me to write papers. It will help me in life because the wrong grammar can’t help you with anything and won't get you anywhere.
My Educational Experiences
Due to my educational experiences, I am currently improving in my school work. For example, because I am now attending SPA, I am more stable. I also am more capable and have the support that I needed to pass my classes. For example, when I was attending Seven Hills Middle Schools, I was only there for a month and a half. I didn’t learn as much in my education because I was not at that school very long. I moved around a lot. When I attended El Cajon Valley High School, I felt that I wasn’t prepared because I missed school a lot in the previous year. After attending El Cajon Valley for a few months, I felt like I had some more education and stability. However, that didn’t last long, because I then came to SPA. In order to make that I am successful in school, I focus and try to attend all my classes.
End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Obstacle
The greatest obstacle I have had to face is keeping my grade up. Because I moved from school to school a lot, it messed up my grades. At one school, they would be on a certain unit, and then I would move to another school where they were learning something completely different. All these changes and new school settings annoyed me. I was annoyed because I wished that I could stay in one place. I would become very confused and felt like I didn’t learn anything. Now, thing are different. I can stay in one place. I also know that I can go to college.

Thomas: Greatest Support
Many students at San Pasqual Academy believe that Thomas is over-controlling and too strict. Thomas is a house parent, along with his wife, for Girls 103. Thomas is also a football coach on the school’s side. Instead of letting the kids do what they want, Thomas does not let them have their way. He does this in order to give them a sense structure so that they don’t stray down the wrong path in the future. And when you need to talk to someone he listens to you and he understands where you coming from. Thomas, although strict, has a very big heart.
For example, a couple of months ago, I received a phone call that put me in the grumpiest mood. I was by the cafe and I didn't want anybody around me. I wanted to be alone. Shortly after, Thomas walked quickly towards me.
“Go away,” I said as he sat next to me.
Thomas replied, “I am not going to leave you because I care about your placement.” He offered to go for a walk and I agreed.
“What happened on the phone? Why are you so mad?” he asked. I told him about the phone call.
“You shouldn't let that get you in a bad mood because there are people here who care about you him,” he said to me. “Are you willing to go home now?”
“No,” I said negatively. Thomas gained control of the situation and said firmly, “Well, I need you to go home so you serve your restriction.” Knowing that I didn’t want to go home, and that I didn’t want to disrespect Thomas at the same time, I followed his command. I went home.
As I walked home I realized that Thomas cared about my well being. He didn’t judge or criticize me. That made me feel that adults do actually care for me.
Two or three months ago, Thomas once again, saved me from myself. I was infuriated over actions that another student made. Anger consumed me to the point where I was breaking windows and cursing at everyone. Thomas was with me the entire time, making sure that I didn’t leave his sight. He stayed with me until I went home, making sure I didn’t get in trouble. A couple of times, I heard him say, “Think about your placement.” I cursed at him too. When I went home a few minutes later, he made sure I didn't leave the house. Had I left the house and fought the other student, I would have been arrested. Because of Thomas I still have my placement, even though I didn’t care about anything at the moment. When I didn’t care, he did.
It was me and hole bunch I don't how else because I wasn't worried about them at the time.I feel find after we got to talk. And then the next day I was really happy her was there because I would lost something it worth a lot right know. When I was cam down down I went up to everybody and was sorry for cussing them out and not hear them out because they do know what best for me.
When I try to move somewhere and he was all always there to make sure if I really want to do that or rethink that again.I was outside of my porch and sitting there think about what should I do and he saw me and ask me if I want to talk I said In a bite because I want doing anything dumb.
I need to talk to someone about what going on with my family how I don't want to be in the system.Just me and Thomas and some people try to come over and to try to calm me down but I tolled them to just leave me alone and he tolled them to gave me my space. After I feel a little better but I was still mad because I didn't want to be here anymore and I want to go home with my family.
It was when I just had come back from pass with my sister.I was at the front outside the girl side listens to my music with tear coming down my eye and he was walk around when he say me.
sister want to stay with her and she didn't want me to come back from pass.She want me to stay and come don't come back to these place.Me and Thomas I feel like I just lose my family because they don't want me to be here and they want me to stay with them.
I feel really bad because I didn't care about anything or any body.Then he talk to me and try to get me to calm down and have me realize that I do have the best place right know and I need to just think about what I am doing. I learned that everybody that is here dose care about you and just want the best for you and they don't want you to do anything stupid.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 11: Sports & Grades
I think they should be allowed to play sports if they do or dont have the grades. But they should also be focus on school because in high school your going have to have good GPA to play for collage or for other school that you want to play at. And If there at least doing good in school they should them play but they should study when there done. They should have a study group with the football player or people that play other sports.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 8: Friends or Adults?
I think that caring adults are important because they will always be there for u and they will always have your back from anything. And some friends can be back stabbing and they will not always be there for you when it come to important thing. And when you tell them something they might go off and tell someone else that why you should always be sure watch out who your friends. Because with adults they will never judge you for how you are and they will always listens to you have to say.

Dragons Den: Campus Donations
I think that it was a great idea for them to donate money for us to get a new football filed. Because if we didn't have that football filed we wouldn't not have games like how we have games because it will be hard for the people to watch because there will be not where for the people to watch the games. And we wouldn't have the snake bar like we have know and someone to record the games like we do. And we wouldn't have the someone play music like we have know.

Dragons Den:Life Lesson
My life lesson I learned was when me and my sister had lost our mom in the summer. That what the hard thing ever had to do and we every had been through. When we found out she pass the was hard thing every I feel like I just lose my best friend and someone I could talk to her about anything and she would judge me and she will be there for me. Most I feel bad for my little sister because she was the youngish in the family and was not used to be with her mom be there for her when she get hurt or if she has a trouble with something. Before my mom when she was sick she pull me a side and said If something happens to me can you please take of you sister for me. But know I am in the system I cant take care of her but I tolled my big sister to take her until I can able take her while I am in the system. When I get out I tolled my sister I will be there to take you home with me.
