Opinion and Response

2009-02-27T10:11:00.000-08:00

My opinion is that there are better things to do in this world besides
fighting, stealing, drinking or doing drugs. People want too much attention and once somebody gets beat up if they're fighting one on one they call for their family and they come looking for you with guns and somebody gets shot.

BOOK REPORT:TOUCHING SPIRIT BEAR

2009-02-23T10:30:00.000-08:00

BOOK TITLE: TOUCHING SPIRIT BEAR

Synopsis:There a boy named Cole, He has really bad anger problems. There a boy named Peter Cole beat him up really bad and when Cole went to court the judge sentence him to go to a island to control his anger. Cole met this guy named Garvey who said he will help Cole channel his anger.so every morning Garvey wakes Cole up and they go to a pond that is ice cold and they sit in it until they feel the anger going away.

My opinion is :I thought it was alright

Why:was bad before he even went to the camp
Now: he starting to turn good
Now:he is trying to apologize to Peter

Recommendation:I would not recommend this book to anyone because
at first the beginning starts slowly and in the middle of the book
it gets alright and at the end of the book it gets better.

The U.S. Senate approved the purchase of Alaska from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, for $7.2 million at 2 cents per acre, about 5 cents per hectare. When adjusted for inflation, the total sum paid equates to approximately $111 million in today's dollars.The land went through several administrative changes before becoming an organized territory on May 11, 1912 and the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959.

Alaska is one of two U.S. states not bordered by another state, Hawaii being the other. Alaska has more coastline than all the other U.S. states combined.[6] It is the only non-contiguous U.S. state on continental North America; about 500 miles (800 km) of British Columbia (Canada) separate Alaska from Washington state. Alaska is thus an exclave of the United States. It is technically part of the continental U.S., but is often not included in colloquial use; Alaska is not part of the contiguous U.S., often called "the Lower 48".[7] Juneau, Alaska's capital city, though located on the mainland of the North American continent, is inaccessible by land—no roads connect Juneau to the rest of the North American highway system.

TO BECOME A CERTIFIED NURSE ASSISTANT

2008-11-06T10:17:00.000-08:00

(To become a certified nurse assistant) In addition to a high school diploma or GED, you'll need to complete a 6-to-12 week CNA certificate program at a community college or medical facility. Classroom instruction generally includes basic nursing skills, anatomy and physiology, nutrition, and infection control. Students also gain plenty of hands-on-experience during clinical activities.
Nursing assistants earn salaries of between $23,663 and $29,801 per year.* The key factors affecting CNA salaries are years of experience and work environment.

TECHNOLOGY

2008-10-07T10:10:00.000-07:00

When i think about Technology I think about Playstation 1 2&3 There are so many things like for instance Ipods, Mp3 players, Walkmans, Cassets players, Laptops, Computers, Blackberry,Cell phones, Overhead projecters, Head phones, Digital watches, Xbox 360, Ipod video, Microwave, Radios, My life would be diffrent without Technology How for instance if I am hungry and I want to make something real quick and easy I would just throw it in the microwave.
And when you are in trouble or something and you did'nt have a cell phone u would stay in trouble and Exspeacially when your sitting on the buss an you dont want to hear all the noise and peoples conversation all you have to do is put on your Ipod or mp3 player those kind of things come in handy.If there was no kind of Television in the world people would go crazy because people have favorite Television programes to watch every week.And another thing is Some people love playstaions all they do is playgames all day.

THE REASON WHY I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO COME SCHOOL

2008-10-03T10:20:00.000-07:00

The reason why I think it is important to come to school I want to get my G.E.D and do better in life. If you don't go to school or anything u probably wont be anything in life without a Education or a High School Diploma so that's why I think it is important to come to school. For instance if You wanna be a Lawyer or a Doctor you have to have a High School Diploma or your G.E.D.
