Go Forward

This is my last blog in this school, so I decided to write about high school. We finish middle school and have to take the next step, which is attending a high school. Firstly, we are scared but eager to learn in high school. It is a great feeling that we get because high school is a big deal. Personally, going to high school was something extraordinary for me because I came from Jordan to the United States. I faced a big difference in culture, people, school, and the whole system of the country. When I arrived here, everybody who had been here from my country started saying that it would be impossible for me to attend L.H.S. My fear of repeating one more year at middle school grew. Everyone else discouraged me, but I had the hope in believing dreams, so I ignored the dissenters. However, I got to L.H.S, and people who disheartened me were shocked. Now, this is my last year here in high school. I have the same feeling for going to college as I had before for high school. I am glad that the four years of high school are almost done. I faced every obstacle in my way. I cried and smiled, but still I got stronger.  Every time I fell seven times, I stood up eight times. I now realize that life has many experiences, and every old man who is educated is still a child comparing what he knows to life.

It is not just a nail

 
 
 
Nails are solid covers for human fingers and toes. They consist of keratin material basis. There are five nails on each hand and five on each foot. The nails are classified as additional members of the skin, producing cells present in the skin. The cuticles of the nails prevent germs from getting into the human body. The nail is rich in blood vessels, which allows doctors see them during medical examinations. In healthy people, nails are a light pink color, while in patients who have a lack of oxygen they turn blue in color.

I love My Computer

Technology is essential. How? We all know; for example, the computer has become a necessary device in our lives. Computers have a big influence in our lives. Just imagine a world without computers: we would feel lost because computers have become a routine technology for our current generation. Computer technology invites us to activate the field of education in an innovative way, which is a tremendous development. The computer is the nerve center of the development process - economic, social, and educational. It is the main tool that processes fast data. Computers can work in all fields and disciplines, so it is important to become proficient, and only 1% of the population takes no notice of using computers. Many people cannot live without computers because they are a way of communication, which is why most people adore technological devices.  As a summary, we cannot live without gravity, the same thing happened to us with technology.

Give High School Dropouts a Second Chance




On opening days of school year, students seem to be glad and excited with their schedules and eager for learning. But by the middle of the year, the signs of joy turn into despair and boredom. Hence, they begin to ask many questions: Why do we have to go to school every day? Why all days are the same? Why do we have to attend same classes each day? And so on; which lead them to boredom and so they resort to improper activities and finally to drop out. Others, who remain in school, begin to go through behavior change; they take days off, they become irresponsible, neglecting their homework assignments, initiate trouble and last but not least, offend the instructor in the classroom. The relish for all of this behavioral change is because school no longer becomes a pleasant place.

Truly I was bored of the same classes and I was not the only student who was bored of her daily schedule. But I felt guilty of having these feelings and so I decided to find out why. I asked my friends, I asked other students, and I finally asked myself why everybody was bored of the same daily schedules. I believe new schedules is the key to most students who are really bored of their classes, and I am stating these facts since I am also one of the students, and I along with the rest look forward to become better students.  

When speaking to my friends and other students, most of them agree that if school had provided mix schedule during the week and variety of hands on activities in classes, we would interact and have more fun during classes. By implementing different classes with hands on activities related to the topics learning in class, I believe that the absences, skipping, and other negative things of the students will be decreased. There is a possibility to see higher grades and more energy from the students. I am absolutely positive that the teachers will see a big increase in the students’ activity and a huge change in the responsibility, character, service, and personality of the students. With this new offering of course schedules, it would be the key to opening new doors of happiness for the entire student body and our nation.

Some Food Bring Happiness

http://blogs.kqed.org/bayareabites/files/2009/07/cooked-fish500.jpg


Food, everyone loves food. Food is important; it gives us energy to work and stay alive and to keep growing. In this blog I want to talk about food that makes us happy, happy? Yes happy.

We know that the marine fish are important to provide us with vitamin D. They also contain a good omega-3 fat for the human body. This fat protects the heart and helps relieve sadness. Marine fish also provide iodine. Nutritionists advise us to eat at least two servings of fish a week.

Walnuts and chocolate are important too, as recent studies have shown that they benefit in lowering cholesterol as they contain useful fatty acids. They also help to avoid depression, in other words they help you to get into a good mood.  These kinds of foods have the Omega 3 fatty acids which make the memory stronger and helps improve mood.  People should eat these foods in moderation, as large amounts of any kind of food may be harmful.

Muscles are not for women


We know that sports are good for the human body, to keep us in a good shape and be healthy. We also know that men and women are not physically equal. A man cannot have a baby just as a woman cannot grow huge muscles. I think it is awkward that a woman can wrestle. A female is an affectionate and sympathetic living thing that can not hurt. She is created in beauty with a white heart and not meant to kill or harm. I am not saying that a female cannot learn karate or any other martial art to protect herself from her surroundings, what I mean is that a woman is the nicest creature on this earth. She cannot battle and grow big muscles. A female that grows big muscles loses her beauty and her femininity. On the other hand I think men should have big muscles for they look cool and charming, just like make up makes women prettier.
