Funny comercial (nigahiga)

2011 SuperBowl Volkswagen Commercial

Ad Campaign

I have seen so many different ads that it is starting to get annoying. But my favorite on was about a Volkswagen which I saw during the Super Bowl. A little kid dressed up as Darth Vader was trying to make things move by using his hands like "Force Wielders" do in the Star Wars movies. Every time he tries he fails and get sad. When his dad gets home, the kid tries to use The Force on the car, which is a Volkswagen and activates it. The little kid is happy, but it was really his dad using the remote star on the keys to turn on the car. This was funny to me at the end. Volkswagen tried to advertise a car in a funny way. What I didn't like about the commercial was that they hadn't explained much about the car, enticing less people to possibly buy it. This was still pretty funny. A little more entertaining than those old commercials that just show the car driving.

The College and Career Unit

Over the course of this unit I have learned many valuable things that will help me in the future. How to do research,write a resume, write a college essay, and even how to go through an interview! Also choosing which college is best for me.
  During the beginning of the unit I learned about high school schedules what colleges expect you to do in high school to be excepted. Later on, I focused in how to get accepted by the college of my choice. During this time I  even had to complete an application. Then I had to research different majors and which colleges offered the one I wanted and fit my criteria. And how to get along with my professors!
 For the remainder of the unit, I focused on choosing an occupation and how to actually get the job. I had to learn how to write a resume. Also, I had to write my own letter of recommendation and answer job interview questions.
After I had my interview with Mr. Figueroa and when all this is finished I will keep my college and career folder along with all the important papers I received ( resume, application, etc. ) in a safe place. By the time I am in high school and college I will take these notes out and study them so that I can be successful .

Personal Esssay; My Mom

There is a person who I have always admired. In fact, she is the one of the most important people I know. She is my mom.

My mom is a very hard worker.She used to always leave for work at 7:00 in the morning and come back around 9:00 at night. That was before my stepfather came into the picture. Now she spends her weekdays home looking after my two little brothers. But she works all day on the weekends and picks up overtime when she can. She does this because she knows that you can't support a family of five with only one person working. My mom wants the best for my brothers and I so she does what needs to be done. My mom shows great character qualities of responsibility, trust, and perseverance.

From when I was old enough I was taught to show these qualities too. My mom told me that there are many ways to show that I have these qualities. To show perseverance, I never give up on my ride to a lake in Texas with my cousin even though it is very hot outside. To show trust, I always watch over things when people ask me too. To show responsibility, I should always keep my things organized.

This is a great start which can lead to a great end. I believe that if I try my best to complete every small task in a responsible manner, I can have the finish that will allow me to prevail in my goals.

Technology

Technology surrounds us. It comes in forms of cell phones, television, i pods. and the internet. Everybody uses technology everyday whether it be for entertainment or education. Way back in the Dark Ages people didn't have all of this. If they wanted to get all the problems on their math homework right, they had to pay attention in class. Now, we can just Google an answer we don't now. If they wanted to do a report on someone, they had to read about them in the library. Now, we just Google them.

          Nowadays, people do almost everything on the computer. They read, watch videos, do research etc. Many of us think of better things to do with the internet other than homework. We go on You tube and find something interesting to watch while we study. The next day, even if we studied all night we wouldn't remember everything because of half your mind being drawn to the video. And since people would rather do something else they plagiarize to get the work done faster. These people get great grades if they are ever so lucky not to get caught.

          The internet can make peoples educational and social lives smaller.We have a huge world to explore and it all belongs to us. Even with six billion people living on our planet there are still things from ancient times yet to be found. And adventures people would rather stay at home and go on You tube than experience. Eventually, all this use of technology for entertainment rather than education will come back and bite us. Than those lazy people who wasted their schools days playing instead of preparing themselves will be sorry. Expand your minds by cutting back on your use of technology and go live life. Don't be alone in a room  missing out on great adventures.

Welcome Ms. Carroll

Welcome to Herbert Hoover Middle School Ms.Carroll. You are in for a surprise from your new students. MY name is Jayden. I am the oldest one in my family and the one my brothers and younger cousins look up to. I am from James Monroe Elementary School. I like to play video games, ride my bike, and play football with my friends. I get driven to school by my parents. I like middle school because I get to work with friends I don't see in other classes. Also, I like how we switch classes so the day goes by really fast.And this makes the school year go by faster. I work hard but I am a chatterbox which sometimes gets me into trouble. I hate homework, so please try to keep it to a minimal. I like English because it is easy and helps you a lot. I like doing vocab before tests and using the computers. I hope you enjoy teaching us.
