When they first told me at my home school that I was going to be transferred to Back Bay I was really scared. I really didn't want to come to a school where there was hardly anybody I knew. I also felt nervous because there has always been some rumors going around saying that Back Bay was a school for "dumb" students. I really didn't want to be considered as one of those. The day finally came, I had to move schools because all the trouble I got into at my home school. When I got here the first person they introduced me to was the security and he gave me this long speech and I was really scared because I thought I was the only one given that speech, but then I see an old friend I hadn't seen in such a long time and we both got the speech together. We got our classes and the first week in lunch was really uncomfortable because we were the new students and everyone already knew each other. That same week me and my friend kept hoping we could go back to our home school as soon as possible. The second week came by and we had meet most students that attended at that time. Many more new students started coming in and most of them were from my home school. So in lunch time it went from two people (George and me) to a whole crowd of friends we have known for a really long time, and also some new friends. Within time I got used to everything from teachers to friends to classes. One thing I really like about Back Bay is that majority of the teachers help you a lot when it is needed. I am really going to miss Back Bay High School because this school has really taught me a lot and had made me become a better person. There are many opportunities at this school and you have to take advantage of everything. I am happy to say I am going to be graduating from the best school. Back Bay has taught me many things and I certainly will be using all of them in my near future. Everyone here at Back Bay is like a big family and I know that will never fall apart. We all became so close to each other and got used to seeing each other everyday. I am happy to say I am going to be a Back Bay graduate in a couple of days and lets go class of 2011.

My Time At Back Bay High School

This Summer 2011
What I have in mind for this summer is that I really want to get a job so that way I could stop asking my parents for money when I go out. I also think it is really important to get a job so that way I could help my parents out with the bills, rent, etc. I am planning to apply at the Oc fairgrounds and Kmart. Besides getting a job I also want to be able to have my fun.
I am planning to hang out with my friends, cousins, and family. Some places we could go to is the fair, beach, or vegas. My cousins and I are planning to take a trip to Mexico and visit our grandparents and family over there. We also plan on visiting places in Mexico we have never visited before and experience the life style they live compare to where our parents are from. We are really looking forward to visit Mazatlan Sinaloa, because my great grandparents are from there and from what our parents tell me, they say that it is such a beautiful place.
This summer I am also planning on taking a visit to an Air Force Base because I am really want to join. Another thing I will be doing is preparing myself for college and will be taking my placement test in july to start school in August. I also want have sleepovers at my house or friends house because I really don't want to be bored at home.
I am planning on buying a car this summer so that way i could go places and not ask anyone for rides. I am really looking forward to this summer because Im sure it is going to be the best. I will also be turning 18 years old soon, so that way I have the rights to do certain things, for example go to an 18 and older club and party with older people. I really want to remember this summer because this summer is not only going to be a regular summer, but this is when reality hits for all graduating seniors.

Critical Movie Review- American Me
The movie American Me is a very inspiring movie to watch. It involves so much violence, gangs, drugs and romance. One thing that I truly love about this movie is that it shows how so many gangs have problems with each other and the way they like to resolve them. Not only does the violence happens to certain people but I honestly think it's genetic, because if one person is involved with gangs, most people in the family is as well. I think they are involved either way because not only do the people in it get killed but their family and other innocents pay for what they have done wrong or for the work that they have not accomplished. They are a couple people that make many mistakes and end up in prison paying for what they have done. There are also others who end up in jail at a young age and stay in there for a really long until they have served their time. In prison many things happen that do not happen when your out in the real world, for example wires and kites and getting sent to the hole. Once they are out they see the world as a whole different place. They think they could do the same things they did while serving their time and think they have the write to control what is happing inside while they are free. While being in prison you may not find love because you are stuck with a people the same gender as yourself, but when you come out there are many people you are willing to change for. Love is to be willing to take risks, getting hurt, and struggles, but at the en d if you are willing to stick through it all, then it is meant to be.I really recommend to watch this movie. It is very inspiring and I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Compare and Contrast- Mean Girls
My opinion towards this film is that it is such a great movie, for those who haven't watched it before really should. One thing I really like about this movie is that it shows mostly all the things that teenage girls go through. It becomes from fake friendships, to stealing each others boyfriends, to rumors. One thing a teenage girl should really have to understand is that there is plenty guys out there for them. There is no reason they have to fight for the same exact guy. I also think they shouldn't be talking about each other because that doesn't lead to anything good, it just leads to fights. One thing they also should understand is that they should try and get along with everyone because when they want to get along with someone it might be to late and they might not have the chance to get to know them. They also should understand that everybody gets treated the way they treat others and if you don't like it then they should try and change the way they treat people. One thing I really enjoy about this movie is that at the end they manage to show how teens are really supposed to treat each other.
