Why Students should work at the cafe

The CafeWorking in the cafe can open your doors in more then just one way, the student’s that choose to take part of the cafe’s work force often walk away with money in there bank, Life skills, and in the mean while the student’s keep their grades up. When the cafe opened for the students to work at they went nuts. The YES program gave them the option to work at a real job on campus.The YES program offered minimum wage to the student’s who worked. As long as the student met the requirements he/she could work four hours a day, two hours before and two hours after school. So for once the student got to take in first hand knowledge of what the culinary work field had to offer. Some student’s liked to work there and enjoyed it while others despised it and only went to work to get the check. The cafe is there to provide the students with the job opportunity so the student may choose to continue this particular field of work.While working in the cafe the student’s may walk away with more then just a lot of money. The student gets the opportunity to work in a real job and learn what it takes to work there. The students learn everything associated with cooking from cleaning to food prep. He/she learns how to prepare, how to present the food, and most important how to cook the food. In today's society people don't have time to sit with there family and have a meal. A lot of Americans eat on the go and they will always need to be someone to cook for them. As johnny always says “People always need to eat”.There are certain guidelines that the student must follow in order to work, and the biggest requirement that is needed is the students grades. The student must have a 2.0 higher to work in the cafe. So that a student cant blame his/her poor grades on work. Because as soon as the YES program finds out that you have bad grades they put you on probation so you cant work until your grades get back up. So there for working in the cafe can give you good grades.Working in the cafe allows students at San Pasqual Academy to get paid, Obtain some key life skills, and even working in the cafe can boost your GPA. Who knew that working in the cafe can provide the student with so many things. The biggest thing that you can get from the cafe is a opportunity to check out culinary arts as a profession. Because who knows maybe you will like cooking and maybe you wont, But at the bear minimum the student gets paid.

Firefighting Tax cuts

A Lack in Public Safety
In the quiet peaceful neighborhood the horrific screams of a women shakes the nearby houses as her house fills with flames and smoke. The screaming continues and people next door peep out their windows to only see what was once a house is now an inferno. Neighbors quickly call 911 and describe what is happening as others restrain the owner of the house from barging into the burning building to save her 5 year old son. People in shock scream for the firefighters, and what use to be a 5-7 minute response is now a 10-15 minute response. But to the terrified people it felt like an eternity. As firefighters arrive they try their hardest to douse the flames, but since their gear is faulty and overused it only prolongs the time it takes to save her son. “Sorry, ma’am. We couldn't manage to save your son in time,” says the chief. This all could have been prevented if only the fire departments were not suffering from tax cuts.
San Diego has one hundred and thirty thousand emergencies per year according to a reporter of City Hall ,and the City of San Diego would like to reduce the fire service to a total of 11.5 million a year budget. However, in order to accomplish this goal nearly 13 fire stations will be completely shut down, leaving several hard working men and women without a job. The city focuses too much on making their city look pretty rather than making it safe. Fire departments cannot train due to the lack of operational fire stations, which only means that firefighters are getting basic training.
There should be no argument in the fact that no matter what city one lives in the main concern should be the public safety. Because the citizens are what makes the city and without its people there would not be a thriving city. People who live in the city pay taxes for this very reason, and most tax payers would rather have their lives saved than enjoy a picturesque park. San Diego would be a safe city, but due to the recent budget cuts that have affected the fire service, safety has been a forgotten concern. Firefighters have been forced to work with faulty unreliable gear. Which not only prolongs the amount on time it takes to save a life, but also undermines what the firefighter relies on ,his gear, to save their own lives.

Odyssey essay

The Odyssey
By: Homer
Even strong minded men surcome to temptation, but it is the men that break free from that temptation that impress the god’s. The Odyssey written by Homer in the late 8th century B.C is an epic tale of a mans god cursed journey home to Ithica. After the 10 year clash between the Trojans and the Greeks Odysseus travels home after having fought for the Greeks in the Trojan war.
After the war Odysseus upsets Poseidon, god of the ocean’s by coming up with the clever plan to sneak into the Trojans castle by hiding in a giant wooden horse. Poseidon was on the Trojans side and because Odysseus made the plans that overthrew the Trojans Poseidon grew angry at him. Thus, Odysseus was cursed by him to never rejoin his wife and to never make it home. Odysseus’s strong love for Penelope was what made his will to return home so much more desirable. Odysseus was able to use his cleverness rather than his strength to fight off temptation.Odysseus’s journey home was filled with many rigorous obstacles such as escaping the cave of a man eating Cyclopes by stabbing him in the eye and blinding him, this cyclopes happens to be Poseidon's son, this act only infuriates Poseidon even more. His love is so strong that he is willing to go to the depth’s of hell literally to find a solution that will get him ever closer to his wife. He even fights off the irresistible Calypso's to return to his quarters and his wife and son. Telemachus his son was born the day before Odysseus ventured to the war and is a young man at this point in the story. During the time Odysseus is gone Penelope falls victim to several suitors that want to seize his kingdom for themselves.Finally Odysseus returns home and with the help of his son he kills the men that were trying to overthrow his wife and kingdom. Odysseus wasn't a strong man but rather a smart man, he used his smarts and advice given to him by Athena to help guide him through out his journey home. With the strength of his mind and not his body Odysseus defied Poseidon and returned home. Through out the story Odysseus falls victim to temptation which prolongs his journey home, but Odysseus manages to overcome and make it home.

My final letter to my lover

My dear Juliet,


Ill be waiting in the next town over for your arrival, The fryier gave you some potion that will knock you out for 48 hours and then you shall ride to this town and we will live happily. If only i could control myself when tibolt kill requeshio i wouldnt be in this situation. I plan on meeting you in the next town so dont keep me waiting...Wait what is telemachus doing here OMG he tells me your dead.

Girls in Greek Mythology

In Greek mythology woman are usually beautiful but are extremely dangerious and rude. Or they are servent ans slaves providing and supplying man with whatever he desires. And to me it seemes that all the greek gods that are girls have the best powers such as knowelege or god of war and a lot more. Wemon are both good and bad in greek myth's.

Breaking Rules

There are negative and postive affects to breaking rules such as The negative consequance is that you get punshed for breaking the rule and the severness depends on what rule you break. And the positive is that since you break the rulse you get the outcome that you wanted. So either way your gonna get in troubble but you will get your desired outcome.

Romeos letter to Juliet

My deariest Juliet,
During te fight Tibolt stabed Requsio in the chest killing him, In anger i chased down Tibolt and took Requsios revenge apon him. After this i can garentee you that our families will never be at peace. I am sorry. I hope this fight doesnt change your views about me. If you would like i am in the next town over waiting for you. I am no longer alowed in the town because the prince ordered me to be killed for what ive done to tibolt. Im sorry if this incident disrupts our love affaire.

Romeo

Juliet Voki

True love or Forbiden love

I tthink that romeo and juliet are in a true forbiden love beause they really love eachother but arnt allowed to be with one other due to the hostile fude between the two families. Romeo and his soon to be wife believe that there marriage will bring peace to the two families. So there for there love is real but they cant get married and they must keep it a secret so its forbiden all in all it is a real forbiden love

What makes a hero

What i think makes a hero is someone that does something brave even though there scared, Our risking something of your self for the good of a stranger. What makes a hero is that the adverage joe mannages to do a scary task and mannage to keep the cool, The biggest hero ive seen would have to be Tom my friends dad he was always at dinner. he alwaysed helped his don with homework and then when everyone was sleeping he .would stay up later a study the next chapter in advance so he can help him the next day.

Juliets letter to romeo

Romeo, Romeo ohhh Romeo I miss your embracing touch, your viciously soft kiss, i miss you. The distance between us only makes the heart grow more fuond. Even though our families despise on other our marrage will bring the two into a peace. Our marriage will only bring good apon us. I can hardly wait untill the day where our families are at peace and we are happly married.

Letter to juliet

Romeo and Juliet and San Diego

A conflict that happened in verona that can happen today in San diego ig a gang war, just like the two groups in romeo ang juliet when they fought in the courtyard. As would there be a battle between bloods and crips in a courtyard. also the same situation that the two main characters wers in could happen in San Diego

Hero

A fictional person that i believe to be a heros is Mr. Bacher, he has served the USA in Vietnam and represnted American in a fighting match. He has coached the olympic boxing team but the biggiest thing to me that he has done was working as a teachers at SPU for 36 years and has only missed six days of work now that is a real hero.

letter to juliet

ohhh juliet in despite of all the chaos in the courtyard earlier this evening my heart still morns for you and from our sensation touch at the party that lead to our monumentical kiss was flabergastic ohhh juliet even though our families hate eachother doesnt mean we must participate in there barbaric ways. i feel sick when i cant see you it is love at first site. I hope you feel the same as i. Juliet i love you, your the star to my burst and the captain to my crunch.

Two worlds

A time i felt stuck between two worlds was when i was in 7th grade my brother wanted me to be more like him and be a punk rockere an and my friends wanted my to be a athlete. I choose to be an athlete so that i could have more fun. I think i mande a right decession because ive had the best time of my life in sports.

Ballad of my Life

If i were to have a person write a Ballad about something in my life. I would have him write about how full my life was and all the accomplishiments that i have done. I would like it to be a happy Ballad so that people would remember me as a happy person.

The Orange grove

When i look into the orange groves i see a wall. A wall that surronds the campus and siginifies the borders of san pasqual academy. It kinda protects this campus and provides for us. so when i see the orange grove i see a thick green and orange wall that gives us food and protects us from harm of danger.

Figurative Language content paragraph

In a story, poem, or play the use of figurative language is crusial because without it regular readings would be boring. They would not convey the message as easly. A story without figurative Langusag is like a book without words. It just doesnt work

Biggest fear

When i was a kid the biggest fear i had was to go night swimming. The pool fetl like and ocean and i thought that there were other animal like beings in the water with me. I felt so vonerable and i couldent see anything. It was just an irie feeling it didnt make matters better when i was the only one in the pool also.

seven stages of life

If i were to tell my grand children about my life i would tell them that in my life. Was very advencious ive done so many things. Because ive waisted no time doing boring stuff. Every time i saw the opperunity to do something new i took it. I have been all over the world and ive fought in many wars. Kids dont waist your time doing something boring. And just cultivate several options in your life.

JFK'S Paragraph

JFK's death was horrific because everyone loved him. He took a strong stance against racism and civil rights. He believed in equal rights for everyone. Not only was he a good man he was a good father. People viewed him as the modern day Aberham lincon, because of his beliefes. His assissnation was such a monumentical death it shook the nation and the world.

Tribions BUR Paragraph

I can relate a Swimming pool to a pond because the both serve the same purpose. The swimming pool is manmade and the pond is formed by nature. People can swim in either on but humans most likly use a swiming pool more because of the there clean and warm, as to a pond that is dirty and cold.

Imagery Poem Paragraph

The poem Women's work Showes Imagery in several different way's, Such as the stuff she see's is clearly painted in the poem like "The White sheets flapping in the wind". And the sense of smell is convaied by "The freshly baked cherry pie". The author is very good at applying imagery to her poems.

Kennedy's Non-fiction

I would rather hear a story in first person. Because I would like to hear it from a person that was actully there, who actually saw the chaos with their own eyes. If a story gets passed down the information can get tweaked into something its not. But if the person tells you directly then the info is correct because its straight from the persons mouth. And that person can describe the feeling and location better then someone who wasnt there.

The American Responce

I think that she should have been mad at her parents. the death of the president should not have any affect on the minds of a little girl. The parents were upset so they want to drag everyone down with them. So that they arnt the only ones that is sad. SO because JFK died she could not study with a friend. The mothers logic mackes no sence. Personally i would just run to his house and ignore whatever he said. So all in all she was not allowed to expand her knowlege due to his death.

The time i felt most discriminated against was when i was trying out for the local YMCA. I was playing basketball and i never saw any play time. And to make matters worse i was the on white boy on the team but i was still pretty good at the game. He would never talk to me or even give me a chance. So by the end of the season i just quit and joined another YMCA team and we played my old team and we won.

Your post is unique because i have a perfect situation the has had my as the underdog and still winning. It was my second year of football for the dragons and it was our last game of the season. We had 11 players and we still had half a game left. People personified the opposing team to be just another team that will just run over us but something was different. It was like all the anger from all our previous games kicked in. We played hard and beat the team. This story reminds me of the underdog winning because we were the underdog and we won.

THe tiger, or the lady

IN the story The lady, and the tiger a princess falls in love with a prince that is put into her fathers new style of judgement. THe young prince must choose between two doors one will kill him and the other will save him. THe princess misleads the young prince to the door of the tiger to prevent him from choosing the girl because she feels as though if she cant have him know one will so she guides him to his death to sasitify her jeliousy. I think tthat she is so used to getting what she wanted that she is will to go to any extent to get what she want even if it means killing her lover to prevent him from being froced apon another women.THe princess should be forced to face the same punishment for what she did. She should be eaten be a tiger i think that it is only fair.

The lady of the tiger

the lio

I often do stuff that is good for others and not myself because i know the rewards that follow my actions. for example i once left my house late at night to bring my brother some food. I defied the rules to help another person and even though i recivied a punishment i still felt good for helping someone. I made the choice to bring him the food because i knew it would make me feel better

the lady or the tiger

The lady or the Tiger is about a barbaric king who decides to build a arena with two closed doors and behind the doors are either a hungry tiger or a beautiful lady. So it is utterly up to the crimminal to choose his own fate as either death or a lady to marry

gift of the magi

the gift of the magi is about a young married couple around christmas time. the couple are trying to get eachother a gift but the main problem is that they have little money to aquire these gifts. So each love thinks of a creative way to get money to buy the gift. so they wife went and sold her hair and the husband sold his watch with the money he got her a comb for her hair no knowing that she sold her hair to buy a chain for his watch. now that is a exact deffination of irony...hahahah

during summer school i plan on passing so that way i can regain all the misssing credits that i have missed in my freshmen and sophmore years. I need to have thoes credits so that way i can graduate on time. so that way i can go to the school of my dreams witch is seirra college. I failed about 80% of ms. priesters classes my first two years of high school because i was lazy and i hated hw because i viewed it as over time, we go to school for 8 hours the we have two hours of hw....i hated it so i didnt do it.

my prediction is to regain all the credits thats i missed my freshmen year.

class talk

i think that people have don't the motivation to do your school work and homework because they find little or no interest in your class. And they cant find the will power to find the motivation because they don't care... personally i need to start doing more of your work even though i find it boring to get my grade up to a b so that i can have the GPA that i want. The class discussion was about opinions and you know what they say" opinions are like assholes everyone got one and they all stink. I want to know what work i have missed so that i can make it up... and hey if you want to give us a real chance to make up our grades let us make up all the work we missed one day for half credit.

Testing

My personal thoughts regarding testing is that it is necessary because testing is the only other way that teachers can really give you a grade....And for the big state testing i think that it is a little ridiculous because a lot of the questions that were in the test i had no idea because our teacher had not tough us that material. But the state in which you reside needs to know how smart you are for some weird reason.
