Dear YouTube,

 Ever since I was little I have always enjoyed watching videos on your website. I have always enjoyed
watching what your site has to offer such as nigahiga. thedominicshow, wongfuproductions, etc.

 These past 3 years I have been bombarded with ads that start before a video. Although you have a
skip button on some ads I feel there should be no ads at all to begin with. Also I have also noticed ads
popping up during the video as well and I think it takes away from enjoying a good video because we
are forced to close it. As I attempt to close it, I sometimes miss the "x" mark and end up going to the site and miss a part of the video. I thought YouTube was just a place for home producers to share the videos online and not a way for businesses to advertise their company or products. I feel they are useless and I find it rare for viewers to actually listen to the ad or pay attention to it and look for the skip button. I believe other youtubers like thedominicshow hate these ads as well. In his video ANNOYING ADS, he shows how annoying ads are and how he guesses correctly on what we are seeing before and during the video. He also makes a good point that these ads are useless and no one pays attention to it except the skip button.

I understand that having those ads are necessary to keep the website free of charge and to gain money
but I think have those ads on the right side is better than it popping up during the video or showing a
commercial before the video.

I hope you make the necessary adjustments for the site to be a better place for viewers to watch videos.

                                                                                                                                Sincerely,

Risky Business Final

  Teens today have been so focused on todays trends. Trends can keep teens up to date with everything that goes on in the world.Teen trends can affect many aspects in life in a bad way. It could damage these relationships depending on the trends they decide to follow.

   Social networking has been the most dominant trend in teens today. Facebook, instagram, vine, are good ways for teens to communicate and express themselves. It often strengthens relationships with friends because its way simpler for teens to communicate instead of communicating personally. But there are many cons to social networking that breaks a relationship through cyber bullying. According to the National Crime Prevention Council about forty-percent of teens have been victims of cyber bullying. 

   Fashion trends are also another trend that is so important in teens today. Fashion industries have been pulling teens into thinking that these clothes define who you are. Nowadays teens now have created their own "cliques" or gangs. These cliques are oftenly made through what a person wears. These types of things also break any previous relationships you had before because teens would usually want to stay in their clique. 

    Although trends usually lasts very long, they will eventually die out. Once these trends die out most teens would do anything to try and keep up to date with whats trending. Being too trendy can break relationships because it could lose your focus on what needs to be done and what matters the most. 

    Teen trends can affect many aspects in life. These types of trends such as social networking, fashion type trends and trends in general are some of the things teens do. Although there are many positive effects of trends, there are also many negative effects of these trends and it could effect relationships in a bad way. But it all depends on what a teen chooses. 

Risky Business TRENDS Draft

   Teens today have been so focused on todays trends. Trends can keep teens up to date with everything that goes on in the world.Teen trends can affect many aspects in life in a bad way. It could damage these relationships depending on the trends they decide to follow.

    There are many good and bad trends out there for teens to choose. But there are a lot of teens that choose to do the "bad" trend and it could break any relationship with that teen. A relationship could break because that friend/relative could have bad thoughts of that teen and have different perspective on that person's perspective. Basically a teen that choses a "bad" trend, some would look at that teen differently.

     Although there are many "bad" trends there are also "good" trends as well. So trends could also affect relationships in good ways. It could help boost your reputation or make yourself look good. Trends could also build more relationships depending on what a teen chooses to do. Even though the teen chooses the "good" trends, it could also break relationships with certain friends/relatives if they have a different view on it and think its bad.

    Teens that choose to put trends first could also affect relationships in a bad way. Teens that chooses to keep up to date to todays trends could end up doing that first over his/hers priorities. When the teen chooses trends over priorities could break the teens relationship.

    Teen trends can affect many aspects in life. Trends affect relationships in many good and bad ways. It all depends on what the teen chooses and that teens decisions to whether or not break that relationship with that person.  

   

College essay second draft

Write an essay describing a person or event that had a significant impact in defining your scholarly, professional and personal goals. Your essay should also describe what part the Honors College plays in achieving these goal

     Summer vacation has just finished and it was the first day of school and my first day of being a sophomore. I remember praying to God before arriving at school and asking him that i would have a good school year and that i would do better than freshman year. I also asked him if i could make it in the basketball team this year. After that prayer i was reminded of my mom telling me that she knows i would've done better if i wasn't lazy. So when i arrived at school i was happy to see my friends again and my teachers. That year i was taking Geometry, Language Arts 2, Broadcast Media, Physical Education, Physics, and U.S History. Looking at my schedule I was excited that the courses i wanted was there and that i was taking "easy classes" except broadcast since it was very new to me and i knew it would take time for me to get the hang of it.
     The first month of school has gone by and my parents would always check on my grades and remind me whats due for each week.When she logged in, she was very surprised. Guessing from her facial expression i thought she was very surprised in a good way and that she was proud of me. But when she made me look at my grades, I too was very surprised. I really thought I was doing well in school and that i would have nothing to worry about for this year. But it was my tests that killed my grades and my mom was really upset.
      My mom grounded me and took away my iPod touch and my privilege to play basketball with my friends every last day of school of each week. I begged her though to let me play basketball with my friends every friday after school. But my mom reminded me if I was on the basketball team, do you really think that they would let you play the games with those kind of grades? I was really upset that day and luckily she really made me think about that question. Both my parents wanted me to do better, so they made me stay grounded until i get my grades back up. From that day on i took my classes more seriously and made sure that i wouldn't forget to study for my tests and of course do my homework.
       Homework and tests really hurt my grades in the beginning of my high school years. Although i never had a D or an F i was still struggling to keep up with deadlines. I finally learned why they would always get mad at me for making careless mistakes or having missing assignments when it comes to school. Its all because they want me to go to a good college and that i would have a good future. I also learned that the actions or lifestyles i made then could stay with me when i go out in this world. Thats why little by little im trying to act more mature and adult like so i would be able handle life without my parents constantly reminding me what to do
     This event really changed my goals on being a basketball player. My goal back then was to be on the basketball team and to also do well in my studies so that i wouldn't let down my parents any longer. From what my mom kept telling on the end of my freshman year really impacted me on how i looked in my classes. I used to always think that my classes were going to be very easy but now i would always think that they are going to be a challenge but all i have to do is to put effort into everything i do.

Describing the Picture

1.The woman was hesitating to pull the trigger. Staring into her lovers eyes, all she could see was guilt. Her

eyes filled with tears she knew she couldn't shoot him. As she was about to pull the trigger, her lover begged 

for mercy. She became dogmatic. She closed her eyes and allowed the gun speak for herself.

2. It was a ordinary day. We had our daily volleyball practices. While the radio was playing, the DJ went to 

commercial. "50% off all sports bra's and spandex's for women". This was a joyous day.

3.I have been waiting for this moment. I have been waiting for months in fact. I remember that day when my 

dad left to serve the country and to protect it. I also remember praying to God everyday just to ask for 

protection over him and that he would come back safe. Many months later, there he was. Coming out of the 

giant plane looking for us. As soon i saw him me and my siblings ran to him. With his arms open wide, we 

hugged him.

It was 6 am in the morning and my dad woke me up. He made my breakfast and wanted me to hurry up. I was too lazy to get up and so i chose to stay in bed and not listen to him. Then 10 minutes later i see my dad with water in his hands just sprinkling it all over my face. But i still wouldn't listen to him and tried to go back to sleep. This time my dad dragged me off the bed and carried me to the table and tried to make me eat my breakfast. I was very angry with him that morning because it was too early in the morning for me and i was so tired. Trying to keep my head up i used my arm as a stand for my head to rest on. Feeling annoyed by my dad taking a picture i was silent and decided to not eat the cereal he made.

It was our annuel "adventure night". My friends and I go wondering into random places and have a

adventure. As we were going down this suspicious rode. As we went followed this rode, we came upon 

what seemed to be abandoned house. While walking into the house we noticed that the walls turned into a 

green like texture. The suddenly the door slammed shut. Startled, I started screaming, then a voice said 

"Silence! you are trespassing on the holy ones ground" Then it appeared.. A sloth. This sloth wasn't a 

ordinary sloth, it had a lustrous gold with a majestic wond. It then said "Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding" 

Everyone blacked out... We woke up wobbled and woozy. We were all sloths

"If only you weren't lazy and stopped procrastinating you would at least have gotten a 3.8 or even a 4.0", my Mom said. That being said i was also very disappointed in myself because i knew if i didn't give in to video games and other things that would distract me i would at least gotten better grades.

Coming of age FINAL

     Sports was one of the biggest obstacles in my life when i was a kid. It was a big struggle for me because it was like a new word for me and i didn't know what it was until i had P.E in 1st grade. Whenever our teacher made us play certain sports i would always be the one that would make my team lose. Me not knowing sports was the cause of many of my friends putting me down. From then on i was the kid that was always picked last whenever we had to pick teams in P.E or whenever we had recess. It took me until 4th grade to finally get the hang of things when it came to P.E. I was pretty decent at it and my P.E  teacher was really proud of how much i improved. After 4 years of not knowing what sports was and doing so many of them i chose my favorite sport which was basketball.

     Basketball then was my only focus and goal that i wanted to achieve in life. I would always practice everyday on that one sport trying to get my shots down, to be able to dribble on each hand, and to work on my weaknesses. When I was finally felt confident enough to use the techniques i learned, I begged my parents to put me in a basketball team or basketball camp. But my fear of getting picked on really interfered with my decision in being in any basketball team. It was until my parents forced me into going to a 3 day basketball camp that's held almost every summer by my church.I was still very scared and nervous until I met the coaches and they said that I would be alright and i should be fine. 
     Ever since the sign ups i have been practicing and practicing trying to make sure that i get better so i won't get picked as much. When it came to the first day of basketball camp i was already nervous. There were so many kids my age playing like the pros. I felt very intimidated and somehow reminded at what happen before as a kid. When it came to making teams for the next two days i was really nervous. I wanted to be in the championships and i wanted to win. 
     When they called my name they put me in with these players who was very eager to win. When our coach called for a team meeting I was very scared at what my coach was gonna do. Instead of making plays and doing all that "coach" work, we bonded. We talked about what struggles we had in life or why we wanted to come to this camp. From that team bonding i left the camp with a happy face and made a lot of new friends. On the next day, it was the playoffs where the coaches will see who goes to the championships. I was very excited and eager to play the games. On our first game our team did not really start as well in the first half. We couldn't pass the ball to well and our shots didn't go in. But when it was the second half of the game we were able to make a comeback and win the game. As the games went on our team was really doing well. We were able to make it to the championships! I was very proud of our team on how we were able to work together. But I was actually proud of myself because i was able to score a lot of the points and no one bothered to say a bad word to me. Instead my friends were very amazed and happy to have me on their team.
     It was the last day of camp and i was very sad. I wanted to get to know my teammates a little bit more and most of all i wanted to play the games more too. When i found out our division was up first i was very excited and ready to play. I was ready to finally show those friends that put me down and show them that i am no longer that person who was always junk at sports. So when it was time to play i was in the starting lineup. It was our possession and i was shooting guard. I got the ball and i was able to dribble past my defender and make layup. Me making that lay up made me confident throughout the game. It was the last quarter and we were down by 3. It was our possession and my teammate had the ball. For the last two possessions he was able to make layups which shrank their lead to 1. We only had 10 seconds left and i was getting really nervous.So my teammate had the ball and was really trying to make another layup. When i was open he passed it and it was already at 5 seconds. So i rushed to the three point line and shot it. The buzzer sounded and i made it! It was a day to remember for me. I was now free of these constant put downs that would always stop me from playing the sport i loved. I thanked God that day because he was the reason i made that shot. The good thing from my story was not the championship but the will and practice i had to get to where i am now. I finally learned how to step out of my box show people that i am a good player. Today, i still have some people that put me down all the time but because of that day i learned that if i just went out there and step out of my comfort zone, I know i can do it. That is my coming of age.

Coming of Age Draft

     Sports was the biggest obstacle in my life as a kid. It was a struggle for me at that time because it was so new to me and i didn't know it existed. Maybe the only sport that i knew was running but I never thought of any other sports like football, soccer, etc. Whenever it was P.E, I used to hate it because of my lack of knowledge towards the sports they teach us and my friends would hate to have me on their team. It was not until the 4th grade where i finally got the hang of it and I was pretty decent at it. From then on sports was getting a little bit easier on me which led me to picking my favorite sport basketball.

     From then on i kept practicing on that one sport trying to dribble smoothly, getting my shots down, working on my weaknesses and finding out my strengths all on my own! I can pretty much say that the techniques i had was based on my own hard work. When i finally felt confident enough to use it i have been begging my parents to put me in a basketball camp or basketball team. But because of my fear of getting teased by teammates i took back at what i said to my parents and hesitated to play on a team. So from there i kept practicing and waiting until that one day at church where my parents signed me up for this 3 day basketball camp. I was still very scared and nervous until I met the coaches and they said that I would be alright and i should be fine.

     On that first day, I was still very nervous but excited to play the games. Trusting the coach's word I just when out and did my best in games and limit my mistakes. When it was time to make teams for the games that they were going to make i was trying to forget the past and just focus on the game. When they called my name they said they wanted me to be with these players who was very good and really wanted to win. When our coach called for a team meeting, I made sure I'd pay attention to him and that my teammates would trust me. The very next day, it was game time or the playoffs to see who could make it to the championships. So the games we played that day was very surprising. We were undefeated and able to play the championships. The next day I was happy. I felt very proud of myself. I myself doubted that we could win the championship but we were able to win it. As i received the medal i felt special and i wanted to come the next year. 

      That year i thought very highly of myself and i really considered myself as a pro basketball player. I also at that time bragged to almost everyone in my family. But when it came to last years camp things changed. On the first day i was very excited and i really expected a championship medal again. I was also happy because my cousins were able to come this year and we were able to have a family competition. On those two days of basketball camp, I was really confident on winning the championship. We were undefeated again and the first seed of the playoffs. That last day of camp was a day i had to remember.

     As i entered the gym and doing my usual warm-ups i talked too highly of myself and the team. I felt that i knew i was going to win the championship. When it came to playing the championship game i wasn't too confident anymore. Two of our best players had left and wasn't able to come to the camp. So now the team depended on me to win it. During the first half of that game i was surprised that we were up by 6 points. But during the second half our team had broken down hard. Our defense was not good and we gave too many wide open shots to them which led to them winning.

     Basically I had to go back to square one again.  After that championship game i just kept practicing and practicing on my skills and really worked on not being so cocky. The good thing about my story is that the result of my friends putting me down led me to become a better player. But me becoming like those friends led to no championship at all. I can now say i have changed from being too overconfident to being humble and learned to just play your hardest. When it comes to basketball i now just play for fun but still want to get better at it and maybe next year i'll be able to win next years championship!   

Mini Essay

   In the state of Hawaii there were many blowhole/park incidents in 2011. The problem was that there was no one to blame for the incidents of so many people/tourists. Like one Northern Californian man came to the island of Maui and visited the blowhole at Nakalele Point. He disappeared due to dancing around a blowhole when huge wave struck him from the behind which threw him into the hole. There were many incidents like these in the stat but sadly the state government wasn't gonna take any responsibility for him. But i believe that its both the tourists and states fault.
   First of all I believe that its partially the tourists fault because they didn't use common sense. Cindy Orlando, a superintendent of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, said, "It would be nice to assume that common sense would prevail, but that's not always the case and we have to be aware that our visitors are not in their regular environment and that they need to be made aware of the potential dangers." Its also the states fault too because some of these tourist attraction don't have signs posted anywhere. Signs are also important because it warns people about the dangers of the area and lets  people know when the place is open or closed. They also show tourists where to go and not to go. 
    Lastly, I believe that the state and tourist should be held accountable for the incidents. First the tourist/people should really use their common sense. Also the state should also put signs where tourists know where to go and not to go so incidents like these won't happen ever again. 
   

Position Statements Group work (Christine, Skye, Kainoa)

Common Sense is needed because tourists are not in their regular environments so they should be more cautious. If the area looks hazardous they need to be more cautious and not fool around. When in doubt, dont go out!

Signs are also important because it warns people about the dangers of the area and lets  people know when the place is open or closed. They also show tourists where to go and not to go.

Important information from other sources are also important because they can give people detailed information the sign may not give. Information from people with experience is more influential but before going to an attraction, tourist need to do research about this place.

Rewriting the future

The changes i made to my blog are everything except the posts. I changed the title first because i felt it was the hardest to do. The title process took me awhile until my sister helped me out and came up with rewriting the future. Then i tried to come up with a good header graphic would help explain/describe Coming of age. I thought of a book being open and pictures of what i've been working on since i was little.  Then i changed my wallpaper to match my graphic. For my Header graphic i used a website and photoshop. For the book being open i used photoshop and used photovisi.com for the fonts and picture frames. It shows my skills by i was able to use what i learned in the past and make my website look good. Then i organized my blog archives by just organizing them by months and to show the newest post first.

"What did you learn about your child's achievements and experiences in MeneMAC this past year?"

 Answer:
 MOM: I learned that he is more now into video productions and more interested in technology. I am proud of him because he looks like he knows what he is doing through the videos that he has shown us. But the most important thing that i am proud of is his improvement from last year. In his essays, he has shown us that he improved a lot on writing skills but he still has more ways to go. He also improved on making videos. Outside of school Ranyl always try to find ways to make a video for us. Right now he is trying to work on a video for his aunty's baby shower and i can see how much he's improved compared from what he learned from eighth grade. From now on I want him to focus more on studying for I know that Ranyl can do better especially in Biology. Overall this program was a big help for Ranyl to wake up and finally see that his education do matter.

     Curley is the son of the boss. On first impressions he tries to act superior and dominant to the workers, but he is actually just insecure about his status. He wants to tell everyone that he is in charge, but his physical appearance makes him a attraction to mockery. Curley wears high heeled boots to appear more taller and tough. His insecurity brings him to fight others, " Curley's like a lot of little guys. He hates big guys. He's alla time picking scraps with big guys. Kind of like he's mad at 'em because he ain't a big guy."(Steinbeck 26)
     Curley being the son of the boss makes him think that he also has authority over them. By doing so he marries an attractive woman to make other guys want to be like him. "The swamper warmed to his gossip.'You seen that glove on his left hand?' 'Yeah. I seen it.' 'Well that gloves' fulla vaseline.' 'Vaseline? What the hell for?' 'Well, I tell ya what---Curley says he's keepin' that hand soft for his wife'". He uses his gloves to show off to people that he has a wife for a small person like him. He also is very protective over her and beats up anyone that talks to her. Crooks and Candy are very hesitant on talking to her because they are afraid of getting fired since he is the boss' son.

Dog

I am a friend of many

Everyday I put a smile on a person's face

I'm loyal to others and

persistent on getting the things I want

I have the talent of helping others and i

 also have the courage to fight for my friends

Being alone is what I hate the most 

and I tend to be grouchy at times

I may be seen as just an animal, but to my 

master i'm seen as their 

best friend that is loyal, persistent, 

and helpful
