"Marigolds" Summary Poem

There is this girl Lizabeth she lived in through the Great Depression, but she was in the poorest neighborhood. She remembers being a little kid and getting into trouble. She was very bored. As bored kids, she, the neighborhood kids, and her brother, went to Miss Lottie's garden and threw rocks at the marigolds. Lizabeth felt ashamed after throwing the pebbles and yellling "Old lady witch."

Later that night Lizabeth went home. She overheard her parents talking about money problems. Lizbeth heard her father crying and her mother humming.

At 4 A.M. she wok eup Joey and went to Miss Lottie's garden. Lizbeth started to destroy the marigolds. As  she did, she began crying. Then she just sat there.

Then Miss Lottie came out. Lizabeth looked up at her, feeling ashamed.

At that moment, her childhood faded away. Miss Lottie never planted marigolds after what happened.

Lizabeth also planted marigolds as an older woman.

Dragons' Den First Semester Week 6: Campus Donations

When people donate to San Pasqual Academu, I feel like people are thinking about us and caring. The Friends of San Pasqual donate school supplies, clothes, and sporting supplies. I feel like they are trying to help people in need.  Also, Phillip Rivers and Quentin Jammer helped to pay for the new footbal field.  I think it was really nice for them to do that.  Additionally, I heard that the Friends of San Pasqual pay for prom.  I feel like they do a lot for us.  When I see these people, I say "thank you."

Dragons Den:Life Lesson


A life lesson I learned the hard way is meeting deadlines. For example, when I don't do my homework, I have to make it up during "doghouse" time. I used to think if I didn't do them on time, I would have extra time to make them up. Then, I started missing a lot of assignments, especially warm-up assignments. My grade got low. I learned that if I turn in it late, I still get credit. I learned that I have to complete my assingments on time. Now, I try not to turn in late work. It has helped some.

Dragons Den: Power Outage

On Thursday evening, I was in Boys 4 when suddenly the power went out. In response, I blamed Andrew for the power outage because he was on the computer. Then, I just hung out and talked with Andrew, Waldo, and Robert K.  Later, I was bored, so I went to my house. This reminded me of the time when I lived in my last foster home. We were watching TV, and then the power went out!  During study hour, it was different because there wasn't power to do Ms. Priester's homework! When the power came back on, I was asleep. In the morning, I was indifferent to the power outage.
