chipotle

A couple months ago there was an E. Coli outbreak is several chipotle restaurants. In January 27, 2016 the CDC reported 55 people infected with E. Coli linked to the food-chain. The outbreak involved 11 states, California (3), Delaware (1), Illinois (1), Kentucky (1), Maryland (1), Minnesota (2), New York (1), Ohio (3), Oregon (13), Pennsylvania (2), and Washington (27). There were a total of 21 hospitalizations. Most of these cases were reported in Oregon and Washington in October 2015. Chipotle closed 43 restaurants following this outbreak and were working with investigators to determine when it would be appropriate to reopen the restaurants. They are making sure to replace all the food they had and making sure nobody is sick when they come back to work. This issue could relate to me because maybe i could’ve been someone that ate chipotle and gotten the illness, but thankfully i don’t like chipotle.

failing and winning

The stories showed 2 types of examples. The good example was Malik Stewart. Malik was competing for a wrestling championship with Mitch Mckee but unfortunately lost. After the match he went up to Mitch’s father and shook his hand. This shows that he failed with honor because he congratulated his father instead of being angry. The bad example was Roman Chapa. He was a race jockey that won by cheating. What he did was use a shocking device to speed up his horse to win a race. This was a horrible thing to do because he hurt the horse and cheated just to win money. These are good example of choosing the right and choosing the wrong because it shows very strong examples. It's always better to lose honorably because you’re still a winner. Cheating doesn’t give you anything except a bad life.

memorial day

Memorial Day Weekend

This memorial day weekend i did absolutely nothing. It was just like every other weekend. All i did was watch grey’s anatomy on netflix and it is the second greatest show ever. It was really boring so i don’t really have anything else to type about on here. The most exciting thing i did this weekend was go buy chinese food and it was great tbh. I also learned how to change the wifi password which really isn’t that difficult.

memorial day

Memorial day is an american holiday on the last monday in May that honors and respects all the people that died while serving our country. It originated in the years following the civil war and became an official holiday in 1971. Ways to celebrate memorial day are attend a parade to show veterans that you’re thankful. You can also decorate with flags or the colors red white and blue. Buying poppies is also a good way to celebrate memorial day. It’s very important to show thanks to our veterans for everything they’ve fought for. For memorial day I’m going to buy poppies to show my respect and gratitude towards all the soldiers who have unfortunately lost their lives fighting for this country. The reason poppies connect to memorial day is because in 1915 Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae wrote a poem that included a line that mentions how in Flanders, poppies grew atop the graves of veterans.

world records

1. The smallest dog living is named Milly and lives in Puerto Rico. She measured 3.8 inches tall on February 21 2013.
2. The shortest donkey measures 25.29 inches on July 26 2011. His name is Kneehi and lives in Florida
3. The fastest internet connection is in South Korea. It has an average download of 33.5 megabits per second which is 3 times more than the second leading.

The record that fascinates me the most is the smallest dog. It’s just a really tiny dog and it’s odd how it hasn’t grown to be any bigger. It would be cool to break a world record but i don’t see myself actually breaking one.

sanke

This video was very educational. The snake talked to the indian youth and politely asked him to carry him down to the valley. The youth knew what he was doing and that the snake was dangerous, but he did it anyway. When he laid the snake down in the valley the snake bit the youth, even if the snake said he wouldn’t. Even if someone asks you to do something that’s dangerous but they say it’s not, make the right decision and don’t do it. The youth knew the dangers and risks but he thought he was safe. You’re never safe from anything dangerous that doesn’t help you. Always stay away from dangerous situations even if someone is very persuasive. Be assertive, say no, and you will be safe from avoidable dangers in your life.

space

Outer space is really cool. Like hella. It’s just a bunch of stars and planets forever. I like to think other galaxies are just parallel universes. The fact that planets just keep getting bigger and bigger trips me out. The universe is so big i don’t think we’re the only form of life. There are definitely aliens out there somewhere. Everything about outer space is really pretty. My favorite planet is Jupiter because it’s really big and creepy. It’s size compared to Earth is my favorite thing about it. In college i want to study about space because it really interests me and i want to know everything about what’s out there. I really like looking up at the stars but because i live in the city that doesn’t happen very often. I just really love space and everything about it because it’s so lit up there. Nebula's are also lit. Space is great but it's sucks that i'll never get to see it up front.

school break days

Spring break

I didnt do anything during spring break until the last few days. I went to mexico(tijuana) for the first time on sunday and monday but got there saturday night. I went to visit family members. First we went to rosarito which is a beach and there were a lot of people. I got to drive four-wheel motor bikes for an hour but it stopped being fun after like 30 minutes. After that we stayed at the beach for a while longer and then went to mcdonalds and then back to my aunt’s house where we were staying. On monday my cousin, my mom, my sister, and i just went to a mexican candy store then a swap meet. After that we went to a chinese food buffet that wasn’t that good tbh. At 7:00pm that night my sister and i had to say goodbye to my mom and tia because we were on our way to the united states. We had to wait 3 hours to cross the border because there were a lot of people going to the US. it took us 2 hours to get home and by that time it was already 1 in the morning so i didnt have much time to sleep. That was the most interesting thing to happen to me since i was born probably. I also bought zayns new debut album mind of mine which u should also buy :)))))).

one direction is trash

one direction is literally the worst band on the planet. right after zayn left everything went just fell apart. everything they do is for publicity like how much more publicity do you need when you're the biggest band on the planet. but other than that theyre greeeaaaatt. louis is the best one because he's small and precious. harry is the second best since he's not my favorite. niall is the third best because he goes missing a lot and it makes me sad. liam is last because im in a love/hate relatonship with him. he broke up with his best girlfriend sophia and they were supposed to get married like what the heck. they're all very nice amazing people. they're really goofy people and i like that because they're themselves and they dont have this fake personality. they have a lot of fake stuff going on in their careers but that will never change who they are. all they want to do is make music, make people happy and change the world. it makes me mad when people hate them for being a boyband because they're all amazing people. it's ok to not to like their music or whatever but doesnt mean you can entirely judge them based off of that. they've never done anything to harm people or anything so they deserve respect even if you don't like their music. ANYWAY i love one direction theyre great. i love them the same way i did before zayn left and after zayn left. i still miss zayn tho but he's gotta do whatever makes him happy and therefore i am happy too.

presidents day

Presidents day is a national holiday in which the american people celebrate all the presidents past and present. It is in February on the 3rd Monday. Presidents day was created to celebrate George Washington's birthday on February 22nd but in 1975 it was moved to Monday in order to create a 3-day weekend for the nations workers. Presidents Day is used by many patriotic and historical groups as a date for staging celebration, reenactments, and other events. Some states also require public schools to teach about the accomplishments of the presidents, often focusing on the lives of Washington and Lincoln. Facts about Presidents Day is cherries are often used for desert because of the cherry tree Washington cut down. On Presidents Day some focus on only George Washington, some focus on few presidents, and some focus on all presidents.

The student services given are helpful because someone might want to learn more about a certain something that LAUSD has. I can apply the services to myself in case i want to know more about something or if i have questions about the services.

winter break

During my winter break I didn't do anything interesting. The only place i went to besides HP was South Gate. I didn't meet anybody new or watch/play sports. The only movie i remember watching was star wars: the force awakens and it was a pretty good movie. All i did for winter break was chill but i was still stressed. I didn't do anything for christmas or new years so it was obviously boring. Most of my days were just sleeping so i didn't do anything or go anywhere interesting at all.

IDP summary

The interdisciplinary project was difficult because i had never done something like it before. The thought of presenting in front of a real doctor really scared me. In the beginning it wasn't that hard because we were just doing research and that's one of the easy part. Making the PowerPoint was also easy because I had already done a ton in middle school. The hardest part was the creative component and the presenting. For the creative component we had to find a time and a place for the group to meet so we could do a video and someone would edit it. But that never worked out so we had to do it all last minute during school. During the presentation I was really nervous because i was presenting in front of a real doctor that already knew all of this and i was scared i would say wrong information. The power point on the computer was outdated so when we tried to show the updated one we couldn't because we had used an updated version of PowerPoint and the computer was old. We only presented the half of the presentation but everyone still knew their lines without having looking at the PowerPoint. Our subject was stroke so it wasn't the hardest. during the presentation our video wouldn't play but we all knew what to say. I can apply my knowledge from this project by knowing how to prevent a stroke and how to know when someone is having a stroke.

places

places

The place i chose to go is Sinaloa, Mexico. The main cities is wanna visit is Sinaloa are Culiacan and Mocorito. Sinaloa is know for the seafood, cathedrals, agriculture, and culture. Mocorito is known for its history and culture. Culiacan is the capital of Sinaloa and has the population of 860k+ people. Mocorito is only a small city with a small population of 5k+. Sinaloa is a regional commercial center where they manufacture toamtoes and other foods, beer, paper products and cotton textiles.

thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated by many countries. All the countries have different origins stories. For example, the history of Thanksgiving Day in the united states started with a ship filled with a hundred white people coming from England, named Mayflower. The pilgrims dropped an anchor far north of their destination at the Hudson River and a month later made it to Massachusetts Bay. Half of the passengers on Mayflower died for exposure of disease and the cold of Winter, only half of them lived to see the first day of Spring. The pilgrims didn't know how to farm in the new land, so a native american, Squanto, taught the pilgrims how to cultivate corn, extract sap from maple trees, catch fish in the rivers and avoid poisonous plants. In November of 1621, after the corn harvest was successful, the governor of their town, Plymouth, organized a celebratory feast known as the "First Thanksgiving" that lasted 3 days. Thanksgiving didn't become an official holiday till 1817 when New York was the first state to adopt an annual Thanksgiving Day. Finally, in 1863, Abraham Lincoln made it a national holiday, scheduled for the 4th Thursday of November every year.

It is important to show honor to veterans because people risk their lives and have made great sacrifices to preserve the freedom of this country. Ways to honor and respect on veterans day is attending a veterans day parade, say thank you, and celebrate with a home-cooked meal and thank you note.

the twin towers

The Twin Towers

On September 11, 2001, it was a normal day in New York; children were going to school, people were boarding planes, people were going shopping in Downtown Manhattan, and families were saying goodbye to their loved ones who worked at the World Trade Center. Little did anyone know that this standard day in New York would change their lives. Around 8:40 am an unexpected plane was headed for the north twin tower. At 8:46 am the first plane hit one of the twin towers causing it to burn up in flames and immediately killing several hundreds people. Firefighters and paramedics rushed to save people but some died too. At 9:03 am a second plane was headed into the second twin tower. Both buildings collapsed and turned into dust. There were two other planes in the same attack, the third plane crashed into the pentagon on D.C., and the fourth crashed an a field in Pennsylvania.

My first memory of the 9/11 terrorist attack was on May 2, 2011. This was the day Osama Bin Laden was tracked down and killed by the US. i remember it was already night time and i was watching the news. My sister came into the room and was shouting that Osama had been killed. I didn't know he was the person who planned the 9/11 terrorist attack until she had explained it to me. 

 My thoughts on this attack is that it was horrible. I feel upset when i think about this day because so many lives were ended. People were jumping out of buildings and some couldn't escape the towers in time to save themselves. My personal insight is that Bush did 9/11.
