Winter Break

My Christmas Present: Seeing my cousin!

     During break, I did a lot of activities. I starrted of my break with the biggest surprise I could have received. When I arrived home from practice, I saw my cousin coming out of her car. My heart raced as I jumped out and ran to my cousin Clarissa who I haven't seen in two years. Everyone started crying and us cousins, Nahomi, Ashley, Clarissa, and I, did not let go of each other. We were all together again-reunited as one like it should always be. 

Elves For The Day

     We spent time with each other every day that she was here. We helped set up for the children's Christmas event the day before and helped out the day of at my church. How did we help? We dresses up as elves and danced around to get the kids excited. At the end, we even gave out presents to all of the kids there.

   

Happy Birthday Nao!

Christmas Eve!

 On Christmas Eve, our family got together, and my cousins came as well!We danced for hours and did not go home until 4am on Christmas day. To be honest, I don't know why everyone left because the next day we all met up again! This time however, we sang Happy Birthday to our cousin Nahomi. She finally turned 15!

Goodbye :(

Last Picture, Yet Still Smiling.

Sadly, Clarissa had to go back home at some point-December 26th. After sleeping over my grandma's house with all my cousins, it was the best way for all of us to say good-bye. My grandma drove me back to New Jersey where everyone said their final goodbye's. Hopefully, we all plan to see each other again in the summer.

Broken Pinky Flow

To end off my break, I went back to practice. Thirty minutes into practice, I discloated my pinky- how great! I ended up going to the Hackensack hospital, getting my finger wrapped and recieving news I never expected to hear. "You can't play basketball for three weeks." This devastated me because I had to sit out for games that I desperately wanted to play in. However, I could not do anything about it. Instead of mourning over a broken finger, I decided to go out for my friends- Daphney, Sarah, Gracie, and Alyssa.

Flaming Grill & Supreme Buffet

53 New Jersey 17, East Rutherford, NJ 07073

              


     The Flaming Grill & Supreme Buffet is my favorite place to eat at and I'm not the only one. Just look at these reviews! Flaming Grill & Supreme Buffet is the best place because my family always goes together. My parents introduced me to this restaurant and it has been my favorite place to go since. This allows us to have some family time and get caught up on each other's lives. 

                             How to make Lo Mein 

This is the section of the buffet where you can watch the chef cook certain dishes.

     My favorite dish to eat at the Flaming Grill & Supreme Buffet is lo mein. If I had to survive on one plate of food I would definitely choose lo mein. Other than lo mein, they also give out french fries, pizza, broccoli, sushi, pork fried rice, dumplings, spare ribs, and more.

The prices per person are reasonable for the
amount of food that one devours.

There is also an ice-cream station.

     If this restaurant closed down, I do not know what I would do. I would have lost my favorite restaurant and my famly would have to find a new restaurant to bond at. Hopefully, Flaming Grill & Supreme Buffet does not shut down and I can continue going to my favorite restaurant.







                 

Do Now 12/15

     

     Mahatma Ghandi once said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Ghandi fought for change and equality and was sadly assassinated for doing so. Ghandi is an inspiration so many, including myself. Ghandi did not allow anyone to put down his beliefs. When someone tried, he would continue fighting for what he believed was right. He was showing the world the change that this world needs. He is a part of that change.
     I have always believed that everyone deserves to be equal- that there shouldn't be so many people fearing what is different. One of my life goals is to build houses in countries all around the world for those who desperately need them. This goal will not only warm my heart, but it will give a family a place to live. I also want to adopt a child one day because I believe that every child should be given the chance of being in a family. A family where he/she could play with his/her siblings and can spend Christmas with a family that loves him/her.
     The life goals that one plans you ones future should also build a path for one to help others. It does not have to be a change as big as having peace all around the world. However, standing up for someone for bullying, or even just complimenting someone on how nice they look can make a big difference even though you might not think so. "Be the change you wish to see in the work." Listen to Ghandi's words and change what you don't like about this world instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you.

RSS Discussion Questions

1. Why did you select the sites you subscribed to?

    I selected each of the sites because they were the ones that interested me the most. For example, for news I chose a website that informed me about what happens in Moonachie. This interests me because I live in Moonachie and I like participiating in the town's events.

2. Was it easy to find feeds and to subscribe to them?

    At first it was hard to subscribe to the feeds because I didn't know what I was doing. However, after being informed on how to subscibe, it was easy to find something to fit each category. Although at times websites didn't have RSS feeds, making it frustrating.

3. Which sites were your favorites?

    My favorite sites were the Moonachie News, the Billboards, and Updates on  Standford's medical field. The Moonachie News informs me about what is going on in my town, the Billboards tell me new music releases, and the Standford updates let me know what is going on in Standford's medical field.

4. What else can you use RSS feeds for?

    To be honest, I am not sure what else RSS feeds can be used for other than notifying me of news I would like to know about.

5. How likely are you to continue to use RSS feeds in the future?

    I might end up using RSS feeds for certain purposes that could help me in my future. For example the updates on Standford's Medical Field.

Do Now Writing Prompt

Wood-Ridge Jr/Sr Highschool has al kinds of classes included in its curriculum including art, financial literacy, web and more. As a teacher I have realized that many students love to dance, but cannot afford to pay for classes. I believe that there should be a dance class added to the curriculum as an elective for all to have a chance to sign up. The class take throughout the entire day. However, each student could only take a class a day. This class will show all to work together and how to follow directions.
The class could take place on the stage in the auditorium where there is enough room for atleast thirty students per class. there could be speackers and a computer in the room to play any kind of music that the teacher would like to use for that class. The level in which you would be put in would depend on your experience in dancing. You could be put in the beginner, intermediate, or expert section. If you have mastered the expert section and are entering a fourth year, you could join the class and put together a group to compete with others. Each marking period could be a different style of music and a performance can take place at the end of each marking period. As a teacher, I believe that having a dance class could change help the students have a bit of fun throughout their day while still learning a few lifeskills.
