Respond to Aleah

I took this quote from Aleah blog:
Today during P.E. my classmates and I were having a very serious/jokey debate on who can say the N-word. Another African-American students was on my debate side and two Caucasian students were together a female, and male. Keep in my this student was a sophomore. So the N-word came up. Usually it can be said just out of fun when African Americans Said it but it sounded really discriminatory, when this particular Caucasian student said it. Me and my debate partner stopped our football game and said “you can’t say that, your not black”, and then the other student said “Why not? If black people call themselves that than why can’t I” That’s when the debating started.
     I think it’s wrong when another race than African American say the N-word because it reminds African American to the past. It reminds them of slavery when white people where calling them the N-word I really think they will take it offensive because your just help them remember about slavery which they don't want to know about. They just want peace and mostly not being discriminated. I really think that if a African American would be called the N-word they will fight.
     I agree with Aleah but not all because people mostly call others the N-word most of the times for like a friend’s proper way. I mean like they say "whats up my N-word" and usually they will just respond like "ooo whats up my N-word" I don't want to say the word because I don't want to be disrespectful so I was just giving you people of an examples.
     Finally, I really think its offensive if you don't know the person and he's African American and you call him the N-word. But where I work at there is a lot of people saying that i just can't believe it this guy say it that guy this woman this person. I was just like why in the world are we complaining if you see millions of people saying and we are arguing about it. There is no point to it but to Aleah it really affects her and her feelings.

Me Not Doing My Work!!!

     I just came from work and I am wasted. I am completely out of energy so basically I’m just going to right why I didn't make my blog on time. First reason I was being stupid wasting time on facebook, second reason I was working, and third reason I was too lazy. I am very pissed right now because I am getting an F so far in Mr. Sutherland’s class and I am trying to make it better for my self but something is always in my way. I just hope that I just do my homework and then do what ever I want after that so I don't have to worry about anything at that time or that day.
     When I came back home from work I started to right this post and now I’m going to finish it for sure because nothing could stop me now I can't go on facebook because my brother BLOCK THE WEBSITE which I am happy for now because I don't have anything going in my way. Now I am still writing this for no reason because Mr. Sutherland said after 12:00 its tooooooo late to turn it in. Well Mr. Sutherland I went to work at 6:00 to 12:00 midnight that’s truly why I am doing my blog right now.
     Finally, this is me Saber Saleh being very honesty and hoping that you will still take my work. I was being not so smart about doing my work all I had to do was just do my homework and I don't have to deal with anything coming my way right now I can tell that I am doing redundancy because I am just trying to hurry up and do my homework and sleep. Then when I finish sleeping my dad will wake me up at 8:00 and take me to work with him. So now you know that you never ever want to live my life o.k. All I wanted is just to be a normal person that gets to go places that hangs out with their friends and get a phone I wonder why I cant do that I just wonder. Thank you. ( No applause No applause)

The Soccer Game!

      Yesterday I was playing fut ball which is now called soccer and I played really good. I was playing against the teacher and students and it was 1-7 our team was winning badly and then when Mr.Higashi, Mr.Fargher, and Mr.Fong came it was challenging. Then Mr.Fargher was playing dirty sliding and trying to hurt people which he couldn't do that to me because I was too good for him. After that they were just coming back on us real bad. They were scoring after another and another and another. I was like ooh hell no then I started to guard the good people and I blocked it most of the time. But sometime I didn't because they run really fast and I run really slow so I couldn't do nothing about that.
       Then, I started to stay back so I can have another chance to block all of them and I did but they still scored I can tell they have good strategies that I couldn't handle. Then they just started to pour on us like it was nothing. They scored one after another 2-7 3-7 4-7 5-7 6-7 then that's when I stepped up my game. I was like no I am sick of them scoring so the I blocked the ball and I got it and I took it from my side of the field to the other and then I kicked it to my teammate and they almost scored I was hoping he would of scored but he didn't. My defense just rose up and I was just blocking who ever was in my way. They were never passing it to my side because they knew I was going to take it or kick it to my teammates. Then it was the Golden goal and we made it 6-8 and Mr.Fong said one more.
        Finally, we were tired and they were still energetic then they scored one because of me I didn't kick it right and I was really pissed so we had another chance but then one of our player which I think is the best got hurt on his finger he was bleeding he went to go wash it then that's when they scored on us and we lost. The End

Response

I took this quote from Nawara Ahmed:
As a freshman, I was scared. I felt like I was not going to succeed even though I was accepted, I did not feel like I was ready. While the year went on, I became to fully understand the requirements and expectations to succeed as an ASTI student. I felt more relaxed. As a result, teachers should console the students about future classes so they can arrange themselves to be successful.
This quote was so compared to me because my brother and cousins always told me this school is hard and I was getting scared at that time. Then I realized they weren't lying and I feel the same way she does. They use to tell me you will get kicked out. They said that because they know I play around to much and I don't take things seriously but when I went to ASTI and that's when it struck me. I started to participate and try as best as I can. But this marking period I didn't because I was still use to middle school.

This quote also made me really get use to ASTI. Because I can tell it’s hard because they always say something about college in ASTI and I know college is hard. I can tell that she is feeling the same thing as me. I know what she mean and feel. I thought I wasn't going to pass a class but I am passing and I am trying to do as best as I can so that I can prove to her that she doesn't have to be scared and show her that if you try your best you will get the grade you deserve and you should believe that. I was doing badly in the begin but now I am doing good to make up for what ever I did badly. I was doing bad because I was still use to middle school I never use to do my homework and I didn't do it in the first week of ASTI and that’s how bad my grades our right now so I am trying to do my best to make all of it up so that’s why I am doing my homework right now.

Debate

“Cons On Medical Marijuana”

Medical marijuana has been a way for people to get help, but can be an easy way to get addicted.


Facts about the quotes and opinions listed bellow: So we know notice that marijuana is really helpful for people that are in medical care. But when we notice that people think they need it but they use it in a different ways basically like smoking it or selling it which people do that for money and do other types of illegal things.

People take advantage of the medical help that they can get. Some can become addicted to it, and it can lead to others getting addicted as well.


Medical marijuana can help people, but must be used with maturity.If you use it with maturity I am pretty sure that there will be no problem because its been tested so use it carefully and recommended. But if you use it in another way instead it was recommended their might be a serious reaction that may kill you or seriously damage your body so use it as recommended.


First fact is listed below: “EVIDENCE”
“Increased heartbeat.
Generally, it slows down in about 20 minutes.
Drop of the pressure in your eyeball.
Change of blood pressure.
Sense of cold or hot hands and feet.
Discoloration of the white of the eye to somewhat pink because of dilation of the vessels in the conjunctiva of the eye.
Relaxation of the muscles.
A dry mouth.”

Second fact is listed below:”EVIDENCE”

“THC affects the nerve cells in the part of the brain where memories are formed. This makes it hard for the user to recall recent events (such as what happened a few minutes ago). It is hard to learn while high - a working short-term memory is required for learning and performing tasks that call for more than one or two steps.

Among a group of long-time heavy marijuana users in Costa Rica, researchers found that the people had great trouble when asked to recall a short list of words (a standard test of memory). People in that study group also found it very hard to focus their attention on the tests given to them.

As people age, they normally lose nerve cells in a region of the brain that is important for remembering events. Chronic exposure to THC may hasten the age-related loss of these nerve cells. In one study, researchers found that rats exposed to THC every day for 8 months (about 1/3 of their lifespan), showed a loss of brain cells comparable to rats that were twice their age.

It is not known whether a similar effect occurs in humans. Researchers are still learning about the many ways that marijuana could affect the brain.”


Third fact is listed below:”EVIDENCE”

“Studies of marijuana's mental effects show that the drug can impair or reduce short-term memory, alter sense of time, and reduce ability to do things which require concentration, swift reactions, and coordination, such as driving a car or operating machinery.”
