The rhetorical device that is being showed in this McDonald's advertisement is an analogy. It shows an analogy because it is comparing one thing to another. It's comparing how it looks on TV in the commercials & what it actually looks at when you buy it. The effect this device has on the reader is that it makes people not want to buy the product because it doesn't look exactly the same how it looks in their advertisement.

In this picture you can see a woman smoking, and smoke that looks like a rope that's tying around her neck. The message to this is how a person who choses to start smoking is already looking to bad lung cancer and mostly death.
So if you start smoking you see ur already killing your self.
People shouldn't smoke because it's bad for you and leads to death and just by smoking one cigarette it gets you addicted to the product where your losing so much money a year just on something that can kill you.

goals for a succcessful future c:

One goal of becoming a successful person, is to gat better grades in school, and be a better person. My first plan is to start doing more homework and pay more attention in class. My second plan is to pay more attention in school and take more challenges and risks. My third plan is to, ask more questions about the subject or the lesson I didn't understood. c:

My Goal

My Goal In School Is To Get Only As & Bs. In Eight Grade I Would Always Miss School For No Reason. I Would Always Miss Out On The Lessons. I Wouldn't Pay Attention On Some Of  My Classes. But For This Year Its Be Different. I Am Gunna Be Here In School. Paying Attention More In All Of My Classes. Putting More Effort In My Classes

Goal -Erick Dominguez

One goal that I have set for myself would be to graduate high school. I plan to achieve this goal by getting good grades. If it possible I would try to get straight A's and have a 4.0 GPA. I would also do the necessary work I get assigned. The last thing I would do to achieve my goal is attend school everyday and try my best to never come late.

My Goal -Carlos Alvarado ✌

One of my goals is to get good grades this year and start paying attention to my teachers so that I can be successful & get a good career so I can graduate from school to my parents proud (': .

Jasmine's Goals(:

My goal for this high school year is going to be working hard and completing my work. Although, I also need some practice so I'm going to review my notes or work that I don't really get. I want to become successful and be someone in life like my sister. I want to be able to be known as that smart girl that did all her work and understood things. If it helps I could stay after school to get the extra help. My second goal for this year is to be a little bit more confident with myself and stop getting intimated by people so much, I don't like the fact that no matter where I'm at people don't seem to know my name and one of the reasons is because I'm always been the quiet girl that never asks questions during class or sits and listens to the teacher talk. Yes, it could be very nice at times but whenever I don't get something I just stay quiet and try to figure it out by myself and that's not good. Ever since I was little I've been shy and that's why I want to change I want to become confident at least for once. I'm just tired of being invisible but somehow it's my fault too because I don't interact with other people. I believe I should start talking to more people because that's going to get me to step out of my bubble. So those are my goals for this year and hopefully forever.

Julio's # Goal.

Goal # 1 : Finish My A Through G Requirments . Action Plans - How Will You Achieve This Goal. 1. Join all the classes necessary to complete those specific requierments. 2. Have time to do the community service. 3. Be committed to do them for my family and also for myself and my future.

Comparing the Outsiders to my life

My life compared to the book "The Outsiders" can relate because I have cousins that were and some are still in gangs, in my personal opinion I don't think gangs are a nice thing to play around with just because once you get in one there's no way out it's either you stay or you die I mean that's my perspective of gangs. Another thing is that Pony boy's parents were killed in a car crash that's another thing I can relate kind of, see my parents didn't die in a car crash but somehow is similar since it talks about death. My mom passed away 5 years ago well because she had diabetes and she refused to go to the doctor, in the other hand my dad is still alive and whenever I go visit him I think to myself "I'm glad my dad is alive because at least I can feel like I haven't lost both of my parents" and to be honest I don't see my dad that much but I still love him a lot there's no day that I forget how much I love him and how important he is. Anyways, like pony boy lives with his brothers I can relate to that too except I don't live with my brothers I live with my sister and honestly she has done everything she can to keep us united just like soda pop sticks up to pony boy so does my sister. Just to think that a 23 year old girl has done everything to keep her little sister to get to eat and the change to go to school takes a lot of effort. 
Well there's my comparing to the book "The Outsiders"

My Three Goals

        

  My First goal that I will try to make in high school is getting my grades up higher this year. The one this tutoring after school to get my math grade up. I will also try and not get disturbed anymore by friends and class mates and pay for attention to the lesson so I could see what's going on. My second goal this year is to practice my volleyball skills so I could be really good and be ready for next year try outs since I was too late this year to try out .One thing I will do to achieve this goal is practice every weekend and I could still be active. I will practice more with my cousin since she's on the varsity team at her school and she'll help me out and make me a better player. Third goal is trying to not get an F or a D in my math class. I'll go to math tutoring Tuesdays and Thursdays to get more help. I'll try and practice my dividing since I'm not very good at it and need some practice on which helps because there is some dividing in math problems. Lastly, my last reason for this goal is to make sure to get as much help as possible and ask more questions.hat I will do to achieve this goal is not to be shy to ask for help. I'm willing to go to math tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Also, to make sure I get better on my dividing. Lastly, make sure to get as much help in class as possible and ask more questions.

                                                       For English

  Well there are many goals I have for myself like making him mine, and loosing weight, and looking pretty, but most of all making it through life everyday and promising myself to do my best to stay alive.
    So one goal I have set for myself right now is to make it through high school, and I mean make it out alive, and to graduate and go to UC Riverside college. Offcourse I have many other goals but my main is to graduate from high school. I wanna make my family proud, and I will do this by studying, passing my classes, getting good grades, and believing in myself that I can make it.


                                                                ( I really hope I become pretty some day and lose weight :) cause I really wanna make him mine) well thanks for your time.
 
                                                   For English Support
 
 
For the book The outsiders, nothing has been related to the book from my life style. I do not know someone in my life that has been related to this book. But my cousin has been in a gang before and told me that it was hard because he couldn't pass other territories, and had to stay within his boundries. At first I was shocked when he told me but as he started to talk about it , I became more and more interested with his stories. Also he told me that his gang and the other gangs weren't even aloud to even look at each other.(Imagine that!) Now I don't remember the name of his gang or I don't even think he told me but all I remember is that he was in one and it was pretty tragic dealing with all the drugs, and getting in trouble, or trying to stay out of trouble. I mean I couldn't of been able to gone through this. Well that's  what my cousin angel told me. I know I didn't speak much about it but he really didn't say anything that was similar to the book.

My Goal ~Francisco Velazquez

         I have many goals in life like going to a  university, being an excellent student and an outstanding football player. One of my goals for this semester is to become an excellent student. Being an excellent student is more then just getting good grades to me. In order to be an excellent student you need to have a positive attitude towards your teachers and classmates, put all your effort into your assignments in order to get the highest score possible and attend school everyday. I plan an accomplishing this goal one step at a time. The first step I will take to accomplishing this goal is not getting distracted in class and giving my teacher my undivided attention. I will also complete all my class work and homework. Another step I will take to becoming an excellent student is trying to never be late or absent to class so I will not miss any assignments. I have set this goal and I plan on accomplishing it one step at a time. 

My Goal (':

 My goal in school is to not only get good grades, but to always attend school everyday. In my eighth-grade year I wouldn't show up to school and I missed a lot of important lessons. I would always make excuses to go to the nurse that way my mom would pick me up early from school. But at Sweetwater I am actually trying and paying attention and I love going to school. The only thing I don't like is the lack of sleep. lol. I'll be fine. I know and will achieve my goal.

One of Rachelle's goals.

"You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing there will be no result"~Gandhi

Research shows that only three percent of the population set goals and objectives, and I'm part of that three percent. I set goals so I know what I need to do and when it is due; I set both short term and long term goals for myself. An example of my goal is to lose weight because I'm a little overweight and I want to pass my BMI test.
To fulfill my goal which is losing weight, I have my own ways to achieve it which are: running in weekends, eating a healthy diet, and playing a sport. Initially, one of the solutions for losing weight is sweating so I try running in the park on weekends, I run so I could get faster when we run laps in P.E. too. Additionally, I want to reach my goal by eating a healthy diet which means avoiding food that are too sweet and fatty, eating less in the evening and consuming more fruits and vegetables, I also maintain my diet by eating brown rice and watching the amount of calories I'm eating. Furthermore, I do try to play sports like volleyball; I want to be active by learning more sports like basketball, soccer and golf. Finally, I do these things to be successful in reaching my goal.

My Short Term Goal ((:

My one goal for this semester is to keep my grades up. I can accomplish my goal by completing all my homework assignments and projects correctly. I can also reach my goal by paying more attention in class & taking good notes. Then I can also achieve my goal by studying 15 minutes every night to score high on quizzes & tests.

One Goal :)


                                My one goal that I have for this semester is, having good grades throughout these four years and don't slip to my bad habits again. One reason, that has kept me from being successful is not doing my homework for my classes. Second reason, that has kept me from being successful is not studying for tests or studying for a short quiz. Third reason, is I always daydreamed in class and didn't listen what the teacher said. My one goal for my future is become an actress, I have the experience since I almost became one on nickelodeon when I was little. I've heard from people I have a good voice to become a singer, but for now just focusing on being an actress. :)

He was my math teacher to,but I didn't like him becouse he slap me in the face be becouse I was sleeping in his class (: and lastly he said to stay in high school becouse those years are the best. 

That's a picture of my dad when he was 14 

My one Goal

     For my goal these next 5 and more years is to have my dream job. I always want to become a actor and perform on either TV or Broadway. But for now I must be able to graduate high school and go to a good performing arts college. I can achieve this goal by doing my homework every now and then and when I have free time, I can study for upcoming tests so I can get good grades. Also, I must take the courses I need to maintain my goal and go to my dream college. The last thing to do is to practice and learn the steps of my dream job in order to become a actor. If I don't become a actor then I need to take medical courses so I came become a doctor or a science teacher.

                I interviewed my cousin Frankie and the two most important things he learned in high school and why , communication because it helped him to interact with others , patience because in his profession it helped him deal with other people. If he could travel back in time he would change his academics , so he could be more dedicated to his school work and get into a better university. His teacher , the most he learned from was Ms. Coroni because she wasn't just a teacher to him she was like a companion, someone who you could talk to and feel comfortable about it.

"Looking back" Survey

I interviewed my sister Bianca for this assignment called "Looking back" Survey  and these are some answers she gave me. First, the most important things she learned while going to high school was that self confidence, responsibility, self discipline and apply to everything in your life can be very helpful in the future. The reasons why they were important are when you get a job you have to have those characteristics in order to make the person like you. Well my sister learned self confidence in ROTC the program encouraged her to get out of her comfort zone and also in her A.P classes, they helped too. Second, If she could travel back in time she would probably would've become more involved in extra cuiricular activities for example Asb, track and field, join a club where you can learn how to play guitar and maybe would've tried cheerleading. To make high school expierence better she would've challenge herself in her senior year because she stopped taking A.P classes do to the fact that she just wanted to have fun in her last year of school. Third, the teachers my sister learned from the most are her English teacher because she taught them what college would be like. Also, her ROTC instructor taugh her a lot because he was honest with her, caring, and dependable. Although her counselor was great because she pushed Bianca to her limits to see what she's capable of and also she paid for her exams. Fourth, the advice my sister would give to high school students for them to have a good expierence is that try to do as many extra cuiricular activities as possible, try your best in all of your classes so you can get A.P classes, keep in touch with teachers or assignments, try to stay as focus as possible in all of your classes and last try to built relationships with all of your teachers so they can get a very nice close look at you. 

My looking back Survey: My Mom

     For this survey I interview my mom, since she always gives my advice even before I went to high school. I asked her the first question, about the 2 or three things she learn in high school why there were important. She said always have time to study and do your homework because it can help you get good grades and a better education and never get distracted by other stuff other than school work.
     For the second question, she told me that she would study more so she would of gone to a better college. The third question, my mom said her teachers from her electives because it taught her to be more advanced in high school and the outside world. The last question I told her, she told me that to always do your best and never hang out with the people who don't want to study or you'll get lazy yourself.
One of the goals I've had since as long as I can remember is to graduate from high school with good grades and a scholarship. My plan to accomplish this goal is to get good grades by doing all my work and paying attention in class. I am also thinking of getting more involved next year because I dint do my physical for the sports.  Also I want to meet new and smart people that will be good influence on me and will give some tips on how to get better.

"Looking Back" Survey, Interviewing my Step Dad

         I interviewed my step dad and these were his answers. He said that the things he learned in high school were to not cheat and to not bully people. He said that not cheating was important because in the long run, cheating won`t help you learn. He also said that it was very important to not bully people because all you are doing is creating problems. He learned that cheating won`t help in the future because you`ll never learned the material so you won`t understand it if you see it in the future. He said that he learned that bullying isn`t going to lead to a bright future. My step dad said that if he could go back in time and change something, he would change his attitude towards school and not commit the same mistakes like cheating, bullying, and not playing attention. My dad said that he learned the most from his teacher Mr. Mosley. He said that he learned the most from Mr.Mosley because he always had a positive attitude towards my dad and always believed in him. The advice my dad would give us high school students is to not make the same mistakes he did, treat people the way you want to be treated, and to pay attention when people are trying to teach you something.

Interviewing My Mom (:

This weekend, I interviewed my mom about her high school experiences. She said that the two most important things she learned in high school was to stay to her self and get good grades. These things were so important because there was no drama and she could focus on graduating from high school. If my mom could have traveled back in time, she would work on getting a Track and Field scholarship to make her high school experience better. The teacher that she learned the most from was Ms. Floyd, her English and PE teacher, because she would never let her give up and taught her that hard work & dedication pays off. The advice my mom would give to us high school students is to stay out of drama, do your home work, and study hard to get some where in life.

About My Sister-in-Law :)

       -Many people say, that High School is the worst thing even if your a freshman. Well things have changed  but, when you get advice from somebody who alredy went through High School you could follow their steps. My sister-in-law, Samira, helped me get through many challanges even when I needed help with a subject. Samira is a good personto me, who has teached me the  most on learning to be creative, she answers many questions I have for her. Samira, told me that the two important things she learned about High School was Electricity, and that in class the teacher expected you to do the best and that they didn't have to tell you to do so. She said that if she could go back in time, she would leave it as it is, that she learned from the best which was the best mistakes, and teachers. One teacher she learned from th most, was a math teacher Mr.llamas because, he wasn't just a Math teacher he was also, was a friend and someone you could count on for any questions you had even if it was with any other subjects.The advice my Sister-in-Law gave me was to stay away from truble makers, and not to get in truble, to enjoy every single minute of High School!!!!!..

My Uncles Interview.

The most important things my uncle has learned in high school is be the best you can be. You have to be presentable. try to be the best you can be, because what you do in the four years of high school depend on your future. He learned them from his mistakes. He was making bad choices. If he could travel back in time, he would change his way of thinking and he would of put more effort in school, he would of joined multiple clubs and join sports to make his high school years better. The teacher he learned most from was his math teacher because he wasnt the best in mathematics, so he would stay after class and she would teach him tips and how to improve himself in his thinking abilities. His advice to every student to help them to have a good experience in high school is to join and do many things in high school. to try your best and give it all you got. you wont regret it and have a really fun year.

I interviewed my step-dad.

1. Two important things were: study habits, and to inner-act with groups within his class. They were important because study habits helped him to focus on his school work, and develop research attributes, and inner-acting with groups helped him refine his classwork load by interaction with other students. (How did he learn them?)  By asking for help from teachers, and other student body members.

2. He would change his behavior, and his approach to high schools curriculum, and protocol.

3. The teacher he learned the most from, was Mr. Nick Kroska. He learned the moat from him because that was his English teacher, because he corrected the students grammar and made them speak more coherently.

4. Good advise he would give to a student for a better high school experience, would be  " To learn the most you can from every subject you take, so you can further your educational endeavors.

l o o k i n g b a c k

 For The Looking Back Survey, I Have Interviewed My Mom,. My mom believes that everything in high school was important, But most of all she said math because math is everywhere and its not only important in school but in life. Another thing that is important in high school is paying attention in all classes, paying attention will get you a very good education because without education you have no living. One last thing that was important to my mom was time. Time was important to her because you can never get it back when its gone. Time is everything.
 If my mom was able to travel back in time she would change her mentality About School and she would've took school more seriously.

Mr. Garcia Was one of the teachers that she learned from the most. He took the time to teach my mom step by step and comprehend math.
 My moms advice to all of you is "Always ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask and take any and all opportunities possible."

Reminisce

People say that you will never forget High School. It's the best experience and a huge part of your life. It's when you try to socialize, study, and have fun at the same time. It's when you first experience peer pressure and stress. It's when you get loved and hated for who you are, it's when you try to find real friends and search for your right path. 
My mom can still remember the first time she walked in Nueva Ecija High School, she was frightened of almost everything, she's nervous,she didn't have friends to start with. But as time went by, she started having friends and joining pageants and winning them. Although she was being active at school, she admitted that she didn't have time to concentrate on her studies; she spent all of her high school years modelling on stage and answering questions from judges, and it's when she realized that she should've done better in academics.
We learn from our mistakes and experience and from my mom's experience in high school, she learned to socialize, be independent, accepting herself, and having an ambition. They're important to her because a person needs to communicate with almost everyone and be flexible, not to always depend on everyone, loving yourself for who you are and having a goal and exploring. If she could travel back in time, she would focus on her studies and she would be more confident about herself; she said she should've studied better and should've loved herself more. She also said her Values teacher inspired her; she learned how to have a good attitude and right conducts. She learned from her Values teacher the most because she was an influential teacher and taught her manners.
What she would advice to us students is that we should study hard and listen to our parents. She said we would be successful if we focus on our studies and be MORE successful if we follow our parents' words. We should also listen to our teachers, read our textbooks and take test more seriously.

My Brother's (Anthony) expirience in Highschool By Kelvyn

One of the most important things he learned was that you have to get involved in sports or in clubs in order to meet new people and that education is essential.
These things are important because life is hard without education and any friends.
He learned these thing because played soccer and he is pretty good at it so he met people who helped him get through high school.
Anthony says that if he could go back in time and change something he would no let bad people influence hi into doing bad things like ditching or not doing projects that he has been assigned.
Anthony says that he learned most from his counselor because she told him many things he could do to improve his grades and what to do to get chances to get scholarships.
The advice he would give a student was to get good grades so you can go to a university because after high school life is very different and challenging without a well paying job or a degree.

Jazmine Regalado *:



  Hi , well my name is Jazmine Regalado I am a shy person but i'm really social at times when I get to know you more I am 14 years old , I was born in San Diego, Logan Heights next to Chicano Park. And I think introducing my family is a good way to start. My father is a chef at Luna Grill at Otay Ranch my dad and his workers make some make some bomb food over there. Everyday my dad has problems at work, but either way he always knows how to face them, and he has a passion for soccer his favorite team is Chivas because obviously he is from Guadalajara. And my momma bear is hilarious when at serious times she is like my twin because we look alike, from what I heard everybody says I look like her which I doubt and what can I say about her shes my idol I look up to her because she's always inspired me to do well at school I haven't got the grades she expects from me but this year i'm gonna improve in my grades just for her and me going to college. My mom likes cooking a lot whenever my friends come over she is always telling them if they want to eat and of course their answer is '' no thank you I just came from eating '' either way 10 minutes later she walks up in my room and brings us food what can I say about her she always wants my friends and I looking healthy ! her favorite soccer team is Mexico, because she is from Acapulco at the age of 18 she came to live in the United States since my mom didn't have enough money to pay rent a lady named Aurelia my mom lived with her for about 2 - 3 months then after that my mom would have a job as a babysitter. Now about my 2 little brothers they get in my nerves everyday but either way I still love them. My life would be incomplete with out them, each day when they meet a new person they always have a compliment for them, they are over protected with me not even my parents, they always make my decisions for my own and my parents go along with it once you know them you'll love them but not more than me. Now about my 19 year old sister well she got a scholarship and now she is in college at San Diego City College in Downtown she has a passion for soccer just like my dad she plays soccer in college and their going to be traveling from place to place i'm going to miss her, and she even has a GPA of 3.5 and people may call her a nerd but she doesn't get offended over that because she always says at least she isn't an airhead and the metaphor for that is dumb. Therefore I explained my whole family now so i'm going to talk about me now, I am a fan of Prince Royce and Mana i'm all about bachata and 90's music and a little bit from the popular music from now days, a nickname i've always been called since 5th grade is chappis for no reason, well I love chocolate with all my guts especially Hershey almonds, I have a passion for singing and running I know people might say i'm really skinny but i'm just trying to be in shape, i'm not a normal person when you get to know me I am gonna be like an unknown species to you I will be hilarious once you get to know me but if you get on my bad side you won't like it because it isn't pretty, I need to learn on controlling my attitude towards others, my goal of the year is to be more sociable with my classmates and have good grades and I am shy in the beginning of school years but once I fit in with everyone I can be really social well right now in class i'm really but really quiet I don't like making teachers mad or disappointed in me because I just feel like if their going to hate me. And now as you've read all this you can tell that my family and I are fans of soccer. People might call me a paisa but it doesn't offend me because I love the way I am and i'm not going to let anyone change me but me. I'm not going to say I have the perfect life everyone seems to have, but I have happiness in mines and even thought finding it is hard we all deserve it '' We all deserve happiness. Sometimes it just takes a painful journey to help you find it, so that you can truly cherish and appreciate it. '' well now you know alittle bit about myself and my family thank you for taking your time on reading this bye.

Francisco Velazquez

         Hello, my name is Francisco Velazquez. I am 14 years old. I am a student athlete at Sweetwater High School. I am the middle child of three children. I have two brothers, one is 16 and the other is 9. I live with my mom and my step dad. 
        I have many interest. Some of my hobbies are going to parties and having fun with my friends. I also enjoy listening to music. Some of the artist I like are Tyga, Yg, Sage the Gemini, Drake, Meek Mill, French Montana, Lil Wayne, etc. My main interest and hobby is playing football. I`ve been playing football since I was in first grade. I first played football for Lincoln Acres elementary school. I currently play football for the National City Diablos. When I play football I feel like nothing else matters and all the drama and worries goes away.                         I am a very determined, hard working person. I strive to accomplish my goals and won't quite until I have succeeded. I put all my effort into everything I do and try very hard to do well in school. I don`t have a favorite subject although I do enjoy certain subjects more then others. I hope to one day go to a university and playing collage football. Then after that, going to the N.F.L and graduating a university with a degree. I have high expectations for myself and I plan on accomplishing my goals and meeting those expectations.
Hello my name is Andrew Perez well I like to play soccer and play football for fun on the weekends. Also I  have one brother and two sisters their all cool to hang out with they have humor and their helpful. I like to watch a bunch of movies also play video games.
Hey my name is Jasmine Lopez-Graciano and I'm a freshmen at Sweetwater High School , and yes I'm Mexican. I might not say that I'm normal but somehow I believed that I'm sort of weird , well I'm not so weird when I barely get to know someone but once I really get to know somebody I'll get used to that person and I'll start talking to that person. I'm a very nice person and I like helping people a lot.
Although I believe I should start talking about my family first well I live with my sister a dog and a cute cat , my sister is been taking care of me for about three years now. My sister means the whole world to me , she taught me that everything in life is possible and honestly I look up to her a lot I hope to be like her when I grow up. Well I haven't really talked about my mom and dad and the reason why I haven't said a word about them is because my mom passed away five years ago , she meant the whole world to me and she still does even though she's not watching me grow up in person and to be honest it really hurts but I believe she's still watching over me and my sister. She was wonderful women even though I didn't really know my mom that well but I believe she was more than that. Anyways , now is dads turn well he's always been there for me since I was born and honestly I don't think I could ever ask for more because that shows that he is a true man and take responsibilities for what he made. He also means the world to me because well he's my dad and I love him and even though I don't get to see him everyday my love for him is very powerful. Whenever we go see him I notice that he always gets happy once we arrive and honestly I prefer to see him smile then see him depressed because I know that mom's dead really impacted him but what matter now is that he's happy and healthy. But although I'm happy living with my sister because she's practically a mom to me she had done everything to keep us together and alive. She already finished college and I'm very proud of her because she went to college even though she was taking care of me and that takes a lot of responsibilities and I'm very very proud of her.
I like a lot of different kind of bands and most people think I'm weird because I like rock music , but me and my friends are obsessed with bands we honestly don't care what people say about us. Well anyways one of my favorite bands are Pierce the veil and Sleeping with Sirens , I like them because for a moment I feel like I'm ignoring the whole world and just focusing on the lyrics. Music is a very powerful thing in my life because well I feel like I can express myself to anybody whenever I'm listening to music I'm not very sure if that made sence but for me music is my life. Also , I like Of mice & men , Mayday Parade , Artist vs. Poet , Falling in Reverse , Panic at the disco! , Paramore , The cab , Woe it's me , As blood runs thick , Toxic Holocaust , Forever the sickest kids , A day to remember , Blessthefall , For all those sleeping , Miss may I , The devil wears Prada , I set my Friends on fire , I see stars and etc.
Well my friends mean a lot to me especially because they've always been there for me no matter how silly things sound they're always there for me and I'm always going to be there for them. However we don't really know if we're going to be friends for ever but I'm hoping that we will, they've help me a lot because I've lost friends before either because they moved or I was making stupid decisions and choosing the wrong people over true friends and I honestly realized that the friends I'm with right now I really want them to be my friends forever. I don't think I want to lose more friends because of my stupid decisions although I'm a very shy person so sometimes I wonder how do I make friends , most people don't really know my name because I'm that shy girl in the classroom that doesn't talk and listens to the teacher talk but somehow I need to step out of my shell and start talking more during class and outside of class. Anyways I love food especially junk food or anything that looks good, for example like candy and pancakes they're my favorite type of food. I don't have more stuff to say so bye(:

Rey-chel not Ru-shell

Haii!!Ohayogosaimasu! Anyeong! Hola! Bonjour! Kamusta? Lol.
So WELCOME! I guess. If you're wondering who I am, sit back 'cause I'm gonna tell you basic informations about me.
          My mom named me Rachelle, Rachelle Nisperos (Rey-chel), but teachers call me Ru-shell XP. I was born on October 08,1998 and right now, I am fourteen. My mom's name is Cherry Escano and my dad is Julius Escano, yeah we have different last names but I'm not adopted. Lol . Don't even think about it. I'm not gonna explain how my last name is different from my mom's and dad's, I think it's too personal; hey, I have the right not to tell everything right? They should make an amendment like "Don't tell too personal infos about you" XD. Anyways, I have an annoying brother who is one year younger than me, he gets on my nerves 'cause he shows-off a lot!But I miss him 'cause he's in the Philippines and he won't be coming here for two to three months. In addition, I promoted from National City Middle (yay! Kingsmen!) and I am a freshman here at Sweetwater Union High School. I actually did pretty good when I was in middle school so I believe I'll do great here at SUHI.
Me when I was in second grade

          I was born and grew in the Philippines and when I turned thirteen, my dad petitioned me and my mom; so I do know Filipino and I speak it more than English. And Basically, It's my first year here and I'm still trying to learn new things about this country like who George Washington was and what happened between wars (I didn't know these things back then).

          For my favorite food, I LOVE ice cream, vanilla flavor; it's my comfort food. I'm really glad that ice cream was invented; I really like eating ice cream, I just don't overeat cause I might get diabetes. Lol. I like Bluish White and Red for my favorite color, I find Bluish White relaxing and when I see Red, I feel powerful. In school, my favorite subjects are Math, World History, Science and English; well basically everything EXCEPT PE, I don't like PE. Although it's not a real class, I still don't like PE; I like running though, just not the mile. I am really fond of pets, I love dogs. They are really sweet and loving but for now, I don't have any pets because our landlady won't let us have one and my parents say that they can be a hassle. 

   
Yeah, I drew this one
     I have an interest in music, sports and arts. I listen to Goot Music, Filipino Songs, and a little bit of One Direction songs. I play guitar and lyre (I was in Drum & Lyre once) and I also know how to read notes in piano; aside from those skills, I want to learn how to pay ukulele just for fun. I play badminton and volleyball and in fact, I was a volleyball player when I was in middle school and I want to try out for the volleyball team this year.I also am planning to learn how to play soccer. I have no idea if it's a sport, but I like bowling too.


         When I have nothing to do, I just sing although I don't really have a nice voice, I play guitar and try to learn new songs in guitar, or I just read. Did I mention that I like reading? If not, then let me tell you this: I'm one of the people who enjoys reading for their free time. I love reading fiction books which means I like reading books that are far from reality and won't happen in real life, yeah, I like those things; they make my imagination work. Sometimes, you need things that can make your brain be creative. People actually recommend me to read Hunger Games; they say it's a fantastic book and if that is so, I'll include it in my "To Read List". But as  much as I like reading informational books like Facts about insects, animals, peoples brain etc., It's also my delight to read teen magazines and guides like Candy (a Filipino teen magazine). 

         As a whole person, yes I am quiet, but there are times that you can't just make me stop from talking especially when I'm explaining something in Filipino; I love playing guitar, I love music (especially Filipino music), arts, sports like volleyball and badminton. I'm patient but I have a limit of course, I like reading and I like to be in quiet places at times like the library. Sometimes, I want to be alone, other times, I feel like socializing. I like balancing things and debates too. I am also a friendly person, I greet people, but when I'm not in the mood like if I woke up on the wrong side of bed or if I'm frustrated, I ignore people and I do't really talk to them. In addition, I'm a fan of Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson of One Direction.
So I think this is it; I think I've written enough about myself.Thanks for reading..! 
One more thing, try talking to me, maybe we could be friends. (; Okay bye for now!
Sayonara! Arigato! Salamat!Gracias! Xie xie! Thankyouu.. :p
