Senioritis !!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Senioritis is the WORD! Senioritis is when us seniors know we about to graduate, and become lazy about doing school work. Sit in the hallways and the gym and joke around. The school year is ending, Prom is next week! I can’t wait. It’s just coming like speeding light. I just want to leave TMA I’m tired of doing work, I just need a break. Summertime is coming, in know it’s going to be more fun than it was last year. I can’t wait. College! ahhh I don’t even have words for what I am feeling. I’m still going to miss it thou. Just some people not everybody, and especially not the work !

Closer to the end of the year

SOOOOOOO It’s almost to an end. THE SCHOOL YEAR, OMG! It went by sooo fast I can’t believe it. The closer it gets the more I’m saying to myself am I ready for what the world has to offer me. It is so scary. Thinking about college and being an adult. My mother told me that high school would end in a snap of a finger but i didn’t listen, I never knew it would come this fast. I am really going to Miss high school and the crazy things, and people in Thurgood Marshall Academy. It’s been a journey and many conflicts faced. I met a few college students who said they glad they left and they don’t miss it as much as they use to. I hope it’s like that for me, because it’s very emotional. Hopefully I’m strong enough for what’s out there in this cold world.

Definition of economics

This week in economics class we were reading about the definition of economics. Economics is a social science that studies how individuals, governments, firms and nations make choices on allocating scarce resources to satisfy their unlimited wants. We also read how economics can be broken down into macroeconomics. Macroeconomics is the study of individual economic units such as households and firms. We also learned about economic growth and Economic development. Economic growth is an increase in the quantity of resources. Economic development is a qualitative measure of a country’s standard of living which takes into account many factors such as education and health. I kind of enjoyed this topic. It was nice to learn something new.

Regents Prep

Today I went to regent’s prep and I feel like it’s really helping me. Before i did any regents prep I use to go home and just read about something that had to do with U.S history. I realized that what my version of studying was not working for me after i went to regent’s prep. I realized that I needed to practice doing regents questions and documents. Right at this moment I know I have no choice but to pass this regents because it’s holding me back and putting weight on my shoulders. I regret messing up and now I have to make it up it’s a priority. I know all I do is talk but know I have to show myself that nothing can’t be done if I don’t do it and put my all into it. I'm going to do what i have to do and pass the regent's

NYC news Man shot his wife

So today i read something on my phone about a actor, Michael Jace who shot his wife. He admitted to shooting her. It was said that the crime was believed to be domestic violence. Michael was booked into a Los Angeles jail and bail was set to 1million! It was also said during the shooting both of his children were present in the house, sadly they had to be put into children protective services.

His rage spent waay out of control, which lead to the death of his wife.

Interdisciplinary post (ID) Econimic Class

In Ms. Horne's Class, in which she teaches economics. We are reading about Corrections and the percentage of ethnicity that are put in jail. The U.S achieved the highest rate of imprisonment in the world, at the cost of $55 billion a year. 1 in 4 black men are in prison, on parole or probation, 10% stripped there right to vote. 70% of prisoners are locked up for crimes that did not involve violence.There have also been unrepresented numbers of children that are locked up, many sentenced until there adult life. Native Americans have the highest percentage  of their population in prison, Latinos and women are the fastest growing populations in the prison system. There have been new prisons which are being forced upon rural communities to revive there economies. All of these statistics is giving the U.S the highest incarceration rate in the entire world.

CRR(Eonomics)

In economics class we are discussing the history of prison labor in the united states. After 1861-1865 civil war, a system was introduced in order to continue the slavery tradition. Free slaves were charged with not carrying out their sharecropping commitments or petty thievery, which were not proven, and then were hired out for cotton picking, working in mines and building railroads. about 88% of hired-out convicts were black, African American. in Alabama about 93% of hired out miners were also black, African American. During the pot-civil war period, Jim crow racial segregation laws were imposed on every state, with legal segregation in schools, housing, marriages and many other aspects of daily life.

Class related response (Forensics)

In forensics class we are currently talking and observing hairs and fibers. We discussed how hair is encountered to be physical evidence in a variety of crimes. First you would need to observe the human hair, which is very difficult to individualize on a single head or body. Now if the hair is removed then there will be blood or skin at the root, which DNA testing can be performed. If a hair is properly collected at a crime scene, it can provide strong evidence for placing a person at a crime scene. hair is an appendage of  the skin that grows out of a structure, known as the hair follicle. The length of a hair extends from the root and continues into a shaft and subjected to the most intense examination by forensic scientist. Most hair observations, with the help of the cuticle, can be performed with a microscope.
