School Poem

Well, I had to do a poem about where I come from and I got a 95% on it. I should have gotten 100%. The reason I got an 95% was because my teacher wasn't clear in his directions. But, I'm still happy with my poem, so here it is:

I come from...

I come from the taste of rice and peas and sugar cookies

after I clean my plate.

I come from a family of four

where creativity and education rule.

I'm from the smell of frankincense,

in my home where Obama oversees our daily activities.

I'm from the sound of televisions and

the sound of Michael Jackson's

Blame it on the Boogie .

I am from the grandson of a Tuskegee Airman

and the granddaughter of the first

black woman to get her drivers license in Delaware.

I come from being free to fide my bike and feeling safe

when I hear the doors beep in my house.

I come from jumping jacks and situps

and tongue twisters like "Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers!"

I come from hoping that when people hear my name

they'll always know I'm going to use my BRAIN!

Well you might want to know

Well, you might want to know why I call my blog is named Spanglish. I go to a school called

Independence Charter School , and there is a Spanish immersion and English enhanced program. I'm in the Spanish immersion, so I speak Spanish and English. So I mixed English and Spanish and came up with Spanglish. I have many friends from Spanish speaking countries and so are my teachers.

I enjoy speaking Spanish and it'll end up on my college application I think. Some of my best friends also speak Spanish. But my Spanish lessons are minimized each higher grade. For example, since I'm in fifth grade my whole afternoon class is in English, but in forth grade I just had it for an hour and a half. I hope I'll continue speaking and learning Spanish when I'm older.

Science VS. Acting

9/30/09

Well, I'm in the middle of choosing if I want to quit my science program, Spark, or start my acting classes in January doing it for four months. The acting classes are only on Saturdays, and I miss it there and I love it there. I know this because I went there this summer. I wanted to get started this month, but I had a chance to join Spark and Spark is free, and Freedom Theater is NOT cheap! It makes a serious dent! So I really don't know, I'm going to need to think about this for a long time, or at least before this Saturday.
