Phenomenal Woman by: Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me.

Police Taser Innocent Student

On Jan 29, 2010, police officers used a taser to stun a student after a fight broke out between 2 girls in the hallway, at a high school basketball game in Monessen, Pennsylvania. The incident happened outside the gymnasium at Monessen High School during a game on friday, with Washington High. Officers say the fight grew to the point where players became involved. That's when police were called and the situation became dangerous. Police started to use tasers to brake the fight, but they targeted the wrong student. The victim, Mario, only wanted to get his sister, but staff targeted him as though he was the problem. A staff called a cop to assist him and tasered the innocent student. Mario was able to get away but he said after he was tasered, "I felt pain like never before". After reviewing video from the incident I think that the staff of the school are the blame, because they failed to control the problem. Fights happen, but if they're not controlled immediately it can become serous. If the problem was controlled their would not have and accidents nor would any one be injured.

The Story called "The Piano Lesson"

In my English class i'm reading a book entitled, "The Piano Lesson" by August Wilson. Based no my reading of the first scene, I think the story is interesting. Right now I don't have a favorite character, because each character is steadily showing their true colors. Like how a Character named Boy Willie urges to sell the family's' most sacred artifact, the piano. Just so he could help himself buy land to start his own business. While his sister Berniece, don't want to sell the piano but instead enjoy life without any problems. And the other characters like Doker, Lymon and Avery also have important roles in the play, but not any thing that catches my attention. In the next scene I think it would discuss weather or not Boy Willie will get the piano and if he's able to get the land he wants.   I

The African Chrismas

Kwanzaa is a holiday that is celebrated by some African-Americans in the U.S.A. which lasts for 7 days from Dec. 26 –Jan. 1. It focuses on the values of family, community, responsibility, commerce and self-improvement. This holidays name is from the Swahili phrase “matunda ya kwanza”, which means “first fruits”. A tool that is used in this celebration is the kinara, which represents our ancestry. The color black, red, and green stands for the candles and the 7 principals of the long lasting Christmas and New Years celebration. Each day of the holiday holds different principals. They are unity, self determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith. The principal of unity stresses the importance of family and community union. The principal of self-determination requires that we find a common interest and make decisions that are in the best interests of our family and community. The principal of collective work and responsibility advice us to look back in our past, see what’s happening now, find a purpose for our future, and find a personal role you play in the world. The principal of cooperative economics emphasizes our collective economic strength and encourages us to meet common needs through mutual support. The principal of purpose advise us to set personal goals that benefit the community. Finally the principal of faith focuses on helping us to have confidence in our ability to triumph over struggles. Out of the seven principals I like all of them the most because they all revolve around helping yourself and those around you.

A Frightining Tale

Under the hill in Clinton Hill Park, their once lived a bum who was as unique as can be. This transsexual was known to be an innocuous being, because he does not bother people for money nor food. But their is something really ponderous about what he find enjoyable. Even I the writer find it hard to explain his nebulous urge. He would go to the playground and sit there watching the children play on the monkey bars and pick out kids who he notices are accompanied by no one. Then with his bare hands he snatches them up and bring them to his home under the hill and torture them. not even trying to be solicitous, he would slowly saw off their limbs and force the kids to feed off of it. those who die he would consume in front of his hostages. Assiduously he would gorge on the dead and watch in aw as the kids weep in dis-spare. Sad to say he believed in living under apartheid and since he is African-American, he only target the white and Latino race. He flees back to his home when he spots indigenous blacks, for he fears he would pray on his own kind. He soon had a son, who quickly because he is his only complicity. together they raised hell. One day bums son was spotted snatching a child and was thrown behind bars. As a parent, the sons' father had to be his sons reparation. after all the wrongs were corrected the gov. arrested both cannibalism and charged them for murder. Days and years past and no one spoke of the story.

My Advance Class

I am in a math class called math B. Usually, students take geometry in the 9th and then trigonometry in the 10th, but this class allows me to take both classes in the 9th grade. Since I took the algebra regents in the eighth grade, I am now in a math B class. I'm going to take the math B regents at the end of ninth grade in June.

You Can Find Anything On YouTube

YouTube can simply be described as a place for entertainment. YouTube is a place where anyone can watch videos, clips or parts of a show and even exclusive videos. If an individual wants to upload a video, they must first create an account with YouTube. After the short process is completed, the hard part is uploading the video. Videos can be uploaded from your camera and certain sites only. The video will be there forever unless you the user decided to take the video off the site. The video can be watched anywhere and everywhere around the world. I must say, Youtube is one of the places that I use for entertainment being that I can listen to music as well as watch videos. 

Tech Word Hear We Go

I would give CNET thumbs up. I would also recommend this website to people. This website is where you can look for electronics, such as camera, games, tv, dvd player and many more. Not only do they show you pictures of it. They also show you videos of how to use them. I would recommend this website because I think that it is great for searching for electronics.

The Tale of 2012

If you click this link, Apocalypse 2012 you will be sent to a site that will explain a variety of things that may happen during the year 2012.  in this site there are people who be leave the world is going to destroyed in the year 2012. In my opinion, this may not be true because many people said that in the year 2000 the world was going to end, but it didn't. Even though global warming,  drouts, food shorteges, desieses and other apedemics exist, I still don't beleave the world is coming to a close . I recommend anyone who believes in this prediction to go to this site and read the post. Enjoy.

Another Lesson Learned

In my short life I learned many rules that must be followed in and outside of the home like proper manners. I remember in my pre-school, there was a sneaky girl who never got in trouble because one of her parents worked there. She would eye the class to look for someone to get in trouble and one day she chose me. I guess I attract a lot of bullies because I look innocent and helpless. So she decided to “bad mouth” me in front of my (at the time) closest friend. My friend started to join in the fun and made little jokes as well. Not knowing that the girl was serious. As the seconds went by I got very upset and since I did not want to be a “tater-teller”, I forgave my friend but told the girl a piece of my mind. I said, “The wart on your arm was your mother’s face and that you are as ugly as your ashy lips.” I felt good until I turned around and saw my teacher glaring at me. That day I lost 3 behavior stars. I still wonder where the teacher was when the little girl was teasing me. I learned that is good to be a “tater-teller” at times, because it’s better to snitch and get away from problems opposed to getting in trouble.
