I believe....
-Life is like a roller coaster, it has its ups and downs. It can never be in a straight line because something will come by and change that whether its good or bad.
-Things unexpectedly happen to you in life, whether you like it or not. Example: death of a family member.
-Working hard for something will get you what you really want.

Journal #20 Pro/Con Response to Fireworks on Oahu
Complaints or Compliments?
Hawaii is a beautiful, peaceful place to live. Once new years and 4th of July comes fireworks pop out and its big celebration no one can ignore. But some people take advantage of that by taking them apart and creating bombs that are so loud that people's car alarm go off. Fireworks are a brilliant way to celebrate occasions like that but they go overboard. There is so much smoke around that it's hard for us to breathe. People abuse the power of having legal and imported fireworks.

Journal #16: Risky Business Draft
Topic: Hazing
Thesis: Hazing happens in schools especially to the students. It should be prevented in sports, soririties, and fraternities because of the harm it does to the students.
Hazing has been detected as a humiliating or abusive conduct or method of initiation into any student organization. It has been increasingly problematic for society. Students see hazing as a stronger bond with their brothers, sisters, etc. and a taught lesson about themselves. Hazing doesn't only cause a bond but harm and hurt to the students therefore it should be prevented.
Hazing is generally caused in big groups such as sports and sororities or fraternities. It happens because of the initiation of one in order to be accepted into that organization. Its supporters acclaim the virtues of the practice by focusing on its ability to build character and a strong bond between each other. But behind that initiation the one being hazed has to do deeds that aren't so fun and exciting.
Hazing is any form of subjecting another student to abusive or ridiculous tricks to frighten, scold, beat, or harass him or her or dubject the student to personal embarassment. This is violence directed at specific individuals as part of the initiation process. It is both physical and emotional harassment of prospective members. An example of the most obvious method of hazing is to shave a members hair off.
Overall, hazing instills fear and respect in the hearts of younger members when interacting with their more esteemed and older teammates. Of course its more important to create a bond between teammates and put ahead that fear and awe in opposition. But respect should be earned and not demanded. Also, no one deserves to go through the pain of hazing. It should still be prevented because of the causes it had done to our students and their personalitites.

Journal #10 College Application Essay Draft
There is a time in life when everyone loses someone they love or know. It's either a parent, sibling, grandparent, aunt uncle, cousin, niece, nephew, or friend. Having to lose someone brings sadness, grief, sorrow, and weeping, because no one and nothing can bring that person back. When you receive the message that some you love passed away, there's nothing you can do but cry. Cry until the tears streaking down your face no longer fall and have puffy, red eyes afterwards. And the number one question is always "why did this have to happen?" There is no real reason why people die; its just the way of life. But what you do know is that you would need to take more responsibilites of your actions and for other people.
I had been through the stages, especially when my auntie passed away. I still remember the night we got the call from the hospital. The lady told us my auntie's condition worsened and so we had to go to the hospital immediately. At that momoent I didn't want to think anything negative but pray she's going to be all right.
The lady made us wait in the waiting room and at that moment I and the rest of my family know something was seriously wrong. The nurse looked at the ground and looked up afterward. She said they did as much as they could but my auntie's heart just stopped. Her next words she said was the same every other doctor/nurse says, "I'm sorry for your loss."
When we walked into the room where my auntie lied, we didn't know what to do but cry, wonder, and be more responsible. My auntie did a lot for us and since she isn't here to do those things we need to make sure those things will be done. She took care of us, here nieces and nephews, her father, sisters, and brother.
I still can't believe she's gone but what I do know is she's always in my heart. If I could be with here one more time I would. But until then I need to do my job and responsibilities like what my auntie had done.

Journal #9: Ophelia Speaks
Ophelia Speaks is a coming of age novel because in each chapter different girls talk about their adolescent stage in different stories. They then learn about their mistakes and make sure no one else will make the same mistake as they did. In the book there are different topics such as pregnancy, parents, siblings, annorexia, media images, etc. The book spoke to me and I think it can speak to other teenage girls so they know that others have an idea of what they're going through.
Journal #8 College Plans
For college I want to go to the mainland, especially on the West Coast, going east coast is just too far from home. I haven't really chose a specific college but I do have options of what colleges interest me listed below.

Journal #3 Vent
The clock is ticking and time is running out. Tick tock. Tick tock. I still can't believe there is little time left until my brother leaves for the mainland. I still can't believe he chose to go to the air force. I'm not against him for joining, I'll be happy with whatever he wishes to do, its just the thought of someone you love going to the army gives me a frightening vibe.
My brother and I have been through a lot. Its the typical: fights, arguments, disagreements, him being over-protective, etc. Of course some people, especially girls, who have older brothers sometimes wish they had an older sister instead. Others wish they had an older brother so they can know how it feels to have someone watching out and protecting them. There was this one time I wish I had an older sister instead of an older brother because we had a BIG argument and i was soooo pissed off at him. I know that saying that will never come true but I do regret it because he is just looking out for me and making sure I won't do anything stupid of that matter.
There are also fun and stupid times my brother and I had. When I was in volleyball and basketball, he would always practice with me. Like when we're at home doing nothing, we would call up our friends and go to the park so he could help me be a better player. If none of our friends could go then it'd just be me and him or me, him, and my dad. While all of us are playing, he would make jokes and all of faces would have smiles and you would hear laughter coming out of our mouths.
Having my borther there for me through thick and thin is something I can't forget. When the call for him to leave for basic trainig comes, he won't be able to be here to look after me or be over protective about boys or anything. He's going to be miles and miles away for 6-8 months because he joined the air force. I am going to miss him but I know I can't do anything to make him stay and do something else. Until then, I'll make the most of what's left before tome runs out.

Journal #6: COA Poster Draft
My coming of age poster relates to my essay and relates to my growing up. My plan was simply basic put a picture of God as a background and just organize it and be creative with pictures in front of it. I decided to put effects and polaroid them to make each picture stand out and represent their own meaning.In the poster it shows my retreat, my family, and my friends. They help build and learn more about myself inside and out. They came through with me springing into adolescence and they're going to stay with me til the end.

Journal #1: Writing Experiences & Goals
My writing experiences have gone back since elementary school. It has been improved throughout my school years. I have learned a lot of different techniques of writitng, such as the 6 traits. It helps with how I write my paragraphs: introduction, 3 paragraphs as the main body, and lastly the conclusion. Along with techniques of writing, punctuation, grammar, and spelling are also important. I learned that the more you read and write, the more your writing will be improved.
My goals for writing are understanding it more easily and making it flow easily through. I also want to improve parts of my 6 traits such as voice and sentence fluency. I know that once these goals are completed, I won't have much of a struggle with wrting than how I did before.
