Chapter 5:  Inside the Barbed Wire “Yuki”

We had to say good bye to everybody because we are being forced by the police. We do not know where we are going but I know that only Japanese are going. We have to get in these buses and we are traveling and see where we are going. Once we got here to the camp all we could see is barbed wire and nothing around us.

Chapter 9: A New Rumor “Yuki”

I am just a little girl but I already listen to the rumors that go on in the camp. Today I heard them saying that we might get sent to a new camp but I don’t want to move again. I am barely liking it here because i just went to school and having to move will mess it up. I hope that it just stays a rumor.

I know the water is not looking healthy because it is not clean. Why did my best friend get sick I don’t know if it was the water or something else because my mom said it was maybe TB. She looks really sick I am scared for her, I hope she is okay.

Chapter 12:  Dust Storm “Yuki”

I went to go see my friend today because she is still sick and we still have no idea what she has. I took her a get well present so she can fell better and know that she has a friend here. I was almost caught trying to sneak in and now I have to leave. There is a big sandstorm outside I can not see a thing.

Chapter 16 Another Goodbye “Ken” 

Right now the US need our help and they are asking my people the Japanese to help them out. First they locked us up and now they want us to fight the war with them. I decided to enlist and see what comes of it.

First Semester Reflection

This is my second year in the PLA and I feel like I am learning a lot more than what I what would of if I was not in the PLA. Image result for cartoon brain working out There are many things I like for example how  we can work with who we feel comfortable I also like how the teachers have more time for each student. I also like how we do not get a lot of homework and how we do out work on computer instead of paper. There are things that my fellow classmates and I do not like, that is Independent time not being in the Picture anymore. I grew in some areas like the working in groups because I do a lot of group work. I honestly feel better In the PLA because we all get to know each other better, students and teachers.

Discussion Post #1: Do you support or oppose Kaepernick’s actions?

I Agree with the quarterback Colin Kaepernick on what he did by not standing during the National Anthem. The Reason I agree with Kaepernick is because he is right on the police being racist, Some cops kill innocent people and don’t even get punished. Image result for colin kaepernick In this day in age there is still racism from some people who think they are the best and every other race is not as good. Kaepernick was trying to show that this country is unfair because not only black people get treated bad but also immigrants. In the Article written by Jaweed Kaleem There is a line stating “Having Officers come into his house “‘guns drawn on us”’ Because, he says, a roommate as moving out and “‘we were the only people in that neighborhood”” (Jaweed Kaleem) so this shows how some cops don’t even know what is going on and they are already blaming people. This is why I agree with him because some people that had not done anything wrong and have been killed by cops. But not all cops are the same!

Small Business Post

Personal Reflection: We thought of this idea when we were talking about something that could help our community. We talked about the problem and we thought that stealing was a big, also that people are not being caught. we taught of some sort of security program but there is already people doing that and so we said better and more security cameras that you can actually see the people who is committing the crime. we got the idea of 4k video but we needed more to make it unique, so we decided we will also use drones to aware in the streets for crimes. The project 4K video was not going to be cheap we had to borrow a loan in order to start the business. we will also have live footage so the cops can be called in a situation and we will try and cover as much of city as we can, not only vista but many more places.

Advertisement: For our Advertisement, we made a video representing our company. We made this for the people so they can find out about our company and get the government to get buy part of it, so we can samsung_galaxy_s5_camera_componentsstart recording crimes and the people who commit them.

Elevator Pitch: My Elevator Pitch explains the Personal Reflection but in more detail. The Elevator pitch also talks about why we need the money to start our company and I try and convince people to help out with the business.

The definition to be Financial wellness it to Not live beyond your means,To Think long term – set up a savings account, Learn to not let money be the driving force of your life, And Learn how to manage your money and establish a personal budget.

Image result for moneyTo think Long term and set up a   saving account means to think before you buy anything because most people get their check and will spend it really fast, before they know it they are waiting on the next check. This problem connect with many people, especially teens, teens have a manner of just going out and buy what they can because they sill don’t know what bills are and don’t get taught how to save money. This problem also happens to me too but a way to fix this is just to start putting your money in the bank, so you don’t have cash and just spend it.

“Limit your spending to the things that matter most and use the rest of your money to power your financial future.” (University of New Hampshire) I used this quote because it can help many people, if you out a budget on how much to spend you will spend less. People need to know when to stop spending because sometimes people want something and ask to borrow money and then they have a debt in their hands.

Money should not be what defines you, people think that the expensive stuff is what matters, it kind of is but people should not be spending like $1000 on shoes when they can just be using that money for rent or something important. It is common for people to spend a lot because sometimes they work hard and they deserve something good to pay of the hard word.

Spiritual Wellness: 20%

Spiritual Wellness: This is a very important wellness because it is what makes you what you are. I can say  that I have a good spirit because I have always been into doing stuff that are fun or adventuresses. When I was a kid for a my mom came to the US and I stayed with my grandma so I did not really get into too much trouble because she would not know what I would do. I would always go out with my older cousin and living a fun life even though we did not really have money we did what we could.

When I came to the US I made new friends and I always liked to do things that are fun and live life to its fullest. Another reason why I think my spirit is well, is because I always like to help other people, not in school stuff but with other problems. I am one of the people that does not like to see people going through bad times or making wrong decision.

When ever I have Problems I do not like to think about it unless it is really bad because I have already seen many things happen and so I just try and not feel bad when there are problems. Many people think that life is hard, and it is but some people just do not want to live, not me I love living because you can only enjoy life once, there is no coming back after death.

2000px-lotus_position-svg People should do what they like the most or else someone else will come and do it for them and what will be the point int that. Like I said you have to find the point in life to live it better and funner, after a while you start seeing the value.
