SEPTA

If i was from another country I would think the SEPTA driver could have to try to do something. I would think that Philadelphia would be a be a bad place. Why I would think this is because the SEPTA driver did not try to help the man on the bus. It could be a false statement to make because there could be a different bus driver and they could have tried to help the man on the bus. To improve the society Philadelphia could start caring about the people more. Even though the job of a bus driver is to drive the bus they still save a life.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

I believe this quote means that you have to be an example to others. Being an example to other and helping others can mean a lot. Helping others can effect people and help them grow stronger. The quote is a good thing to know because it helps you know that you can be the change. The world is an important place and we all change it if we work together. We can all be the change if we work together.

What is Tolerance

Tolerance is when people try to be open minded about certain things. In a article I read explained how a girl tried to bring her girlfriend to her prom wearing a tux. The school did not allow the girl bring her girlfriend to her prom.

Five ways to promote tolerance in the school and community

* Talk about stopping bullying

* Have a class about showing respect

* Identify examples o respect to certain people

* Make a quilt and take fabrics from different peoples cultures.

Health Care

I think the government is waiting too long, and I do not understand why a person has to wait forever. It is making it harder for people because times are hard. I believe they should stop waiting forever and give the people what they want free health care.

What I like about Computers

I like the computers because it makes it easier for me to do research. I like the internet because I can go shopping, and I can talk to my friends. Computers just give a easier access to do certain things.

This Semester!!!

This semester I hope to do much better than the first semester. Even though I still struggle with Geometry, I believe I still can improve. Now that I have classes that I enjoy, I know that I can past. What I have did in the past I left behind because this semester is a fresh start for me!

first semester !!!

In the first semester was alright for me. I was still having a lot of difficulty with Geometry. I had gotten better in Spanish and I began passing a lot of my test and quizzes. I had been doing better in Biology and American Studies. I didn't do as great as I wanted, but I know that I can do much better.
