Health Class (CRR)

   In healthy class we are talking about Different types of carbohydrates, protein, fats, and minerals. Simple   Carbohydrates are sugars that are quickly digested and provide a boost of energy for the body. Complex Carbohydrates provide the body with long term energy, the help digest starch such as rice, beans, and potatoes. Proteins are made from many amino acids connected together in different arrangements, proteins provide the body need to grow and repair its self. Fat is energy source for the body, more than carbs and proteins it helps protect and cushion vital organs as well as joints. Unsaturated fats contain fatty acids that are missing hydrogen atoms, at room temperature they seem to be in a liquid form and less harmful to the circulatory system than saturated fats. Micro nutrient also known as minerals that are inorganic and that are required by your body in order to develop and grow properly. Some important minerals are calcium, Iron, Potassium and magnesium. This is what i learned. A very interesting subject that i really enjoyed. I learned a lot about my body and about what we intake on the daily basis and what it turns to in our body.

My Passion For Animals (PB)

What I’m passionate about…..ANIMALS!! When I go off to college I’m hoping to become a veterinarian. That was my dream since 5th grade and I’m hoping to pursue that dream. I want to know the anatomy and biology of an animal. Why they can and can’t eat certain things. Since animals can’t talk and tell you what’s wrong, I want to be that person to figure out what’s wrong and make them that energetic, loving animal again. I’m willing to even take chances with wild animals, because there living to. God put all animals on earth for a reason. It’s the circle of life. In order to keep that going these animals need help when needed, and I want to help. I don’t think anything can stop me from becoming a Vet, if I don’t become one or have knowledge about it the first four years of college, then I will go back to school to do so, because I already set this goal when I was younger so I have to do what I have to do to get there.! I am DETERMINED!!

Forensics Class !! (ID)

This week in my Forensics class we are learning about Crime Scene’s, What, Who, and how it’s done. At a crime scene you would search for physical evidence. Objects that can establish that a crime has been committed or the crime can link to the victim or its perpetrator. Processing the crime, detectives would have to record systematic search for evidence, collect and package evidence. Anyone who touches the evidence is an accuser of the crime. In order to protect the evidence the first officer is there to secure the scene, until detectives and more officers arrive. The first officer also preserves the evidence, secure the witness or witnesses, request forensic services if needed and condense facts into a report. 

To record a crime a scene you would need photography, sketches, notes and videos. The photography has to be unmoved and unaltered. Sketches have to be rough and finished. Notes have to be taken to court, what’s included in the notes is the location of the evidence, time the evidence was collected, it must be documented in the exact order it occurred. NOT MISTAKES!

My opinion on this lesson is that a crime scene is the most important detail in convicting a person of a crime. This either makes a person guilty or not guilty. This subject is very interesting, because you learn what detectives, FBI, and police go through to catch people who committed crimes. You know from beginning to end. How peoples rights were taken advantage of, or how people never went to jail for crimes they did commit because there wasn’t enough evidence. I’m interested in forensics but I wouldn't want to major in this subject.

Self-Selected Response : An Article I Read

     
Lastnight i read an article that my mother was doing for homework. My mother goes to college for criminal justice so the article was related to a crime that a man was accused of. This article was about a man who was accused of setting a fire in his own home and killing his three children, he managed to get out the house alive. The man was lied on by police. They stated that he set the fire and refused to go save his children from the burning flames. There were witnesses who told police he broke windows trying to get his children out but he failed the task and made the fire worse.

            My opinion on this article is that the police did not look at the father’s point of view and how him and his wife was effected by it. They didn’t see the emotion that the father had on his face. They didn’t take his pain into consideration. I believe the police took him to trial because he was the only one that survived and the only one in the house. They didn’t look at the mechanical problems in the home or even try to have another option on how the fire was started. I feel really bad for the father because I know that any father love they kids and any father would do anything to keep their kids happy and safe. I also feel that the father probably didn’t care if he went to jail or not because his children were gone and it didn’t matter what was going on in his life, even if it killed him.

What Do I Have A Passsion For !!??

Ever since I was 5 I loved to sing. I would sing anything from R&B to Pop music. My main dream in my life is to become a singer, but sometimes it’s not easy getting people to notice you especially if you have a talent that most people have. I always sing, I sing in the shower, in my room, maybe even outside but i be really quiet. I don’t want anyone to hear me. My friends always get me to sing to them because they like my voice, they become very happy when I start singing and that makes me nervous. When i sing i feel like I express myself more, either when I’m happy or sad. I think that my voice comes out better and people feel my emotion when I sing how I feel. You may not understand what i mean or it may sound stupid but that’s how I express myself. Especially when I don’t express myself to loved ones i go home, pick a song that matches my emotion and sing! I want to practice a certain song for the talent show but the voice notes are really hard, but I’m going to work hard on it so I can make a good impression the day of the talent show, especially it being my last year in TMA. Even thinking about singing in front of a lot of people makes me really nervous. I believe in myself and i can accomplish anything I put my mind to.

Being A Teenager!!!!!!

People always tell you when you turn 13 everything will get harder as you get older, especially being a teenager. They were right. When I turned 13 I was in the 7th grade.  Thinking I was grown because I was in middle school and I had the teen in my age, thirteen! That was a big deal to me. Unfortunately I was no were near grown. At 13 girl’s start to like boys and boys start to like girls. There started t be a lot of new people and situations that were coming my way being this big THIRTEEN! I started to notice the people started to change, the girls I hung out with in elementary school started to not speak to me or we lost contact with each other. I felt hurt at first because I missed my old friends. I didn’t like the fact of having only two friends in this big school, which included high school also.
My time in Thurgood Marshal Academy changed me as a person. I say this because I learned a lot from other people and I learned how to handle certain situations differently. One example is when I told my friend something about my other friend and she went back to her and told her what I said. I felt hurt because she was supposed to be my friend but instead she was a trouble maker and instigator. Even though what I said wasn’t bad I just felt like that wasn’t her place to go back and tell. I told both of them how I felt and we were friends again. That situation changed me, I realized that you can’t trust anyone and people like to see you fall when they see you doing better than them.
As time passed I realized that my “clique” or group of friends started to get smaller and school work was getting harder. Trying to balance out school and friends was hard, because I was trying to keep my friends happy while trying to pass all my classes. I also noticed that friend will always be there and you will see them in school every day, and school comes first. Being 13 was an age of BECOMING mature and not BEING mature. 13 was just a number and there is way more responsibility that came my way as years passes. When you graduate high school you on your own and life is up to what you make it, either bad or good. That’s your choice.
