“Through the Tunnel” Foster Youth Initiation

I was initiated in the foster system since birth. I dream of the day that I can graduate and say that I went threw tuff times and still be successful. I dream of the day when I can graduate from high school and become a man. Most foster kids get in at a later age and complain. If they were born in the system they would appreciate the things life has to offer. Usually they get in the system and stay until their parents get them back or they will run away. Most don't even graduate, they usually age out and become homeless. I'm trying to encourage more foster youth to graduate and become a blessing to the world.

“Through the Tunnel” Comprehension Paragraph

This story was not convincing because no eleven year old is willing to risk his life to prove to himself that he can do something. Also if the situation is drowning most kids would be scared. Even if you are a good swimmer, their is no reason to prove if you can hold your breath long. If he really wanted to improve holding his breathe he could of filled a bathtub with water and lay in it. Another thing is that no parent trust there kid to swim by themselves next to some rocks.

Ooops!!!

“Through the Tunnel” Prove Yourself Paragraph

When I was ten years old I was at a foster home in Grand Terrace. It was winter break and I was hanging out the park with my friend lucas. We were very bored because all of our other friends had plans. Then we started asking who is the bravest person we knew. Lucas said his dad only because he was a Navy Seal. I said me. Then he said,"If your so brave then run around the park naked." When he asked me to do that I was kind of scared. Then I took of my clothes and ran around the park. While I was running around I saw a police car and hid in the swirly slide. I was scared for my life. Then the police car left and I ran to put on my clothes. My friend Lucas stood there laughing at me. He said that I was brave and lucky.

House Symbols

If my house had a sybol to descibe it, it would be a video game controller. The reason why is because everybody in my house plays video games everyday for at least five hours. Video games in my house is like a drug, we are addicted. We have all sorts of games, such as fighting,sports,adventure and shooting. Games are very fun and apart of every day life in my house.

Third Quarter Goals

My third quarter goals are to get A's and B's.I am willing to put forth the effort to get those grades. Also I want to show people that I can be sucessful and not another statistic. I want to make myself an educated foster youth. I really felt like that when I was slacking off I was disappointing the people who beleived in me.
Now that I look back on it I was really making a big mistake. This third quarter I will have at least a 3.0 .

Winter Break Narrative

This was the most memorable winter ever.On the day of Christmas I woke up and went to see my gifts. When I opened them I was the most disappointed kid on campus. The reason why is because I got a video game that I already own,two Rubix Cubes and the second Indiana Jones movie that was a dollar at Walmart. I was really upset and wanted to turn in all my gifts.

I knew that I was supposed to be grateful that someone went out of their way to give me these gifts but I was at the point that if I got nothing at all I would have been happy. I called the office to see if I can trade them in to get something else but they said no. Then I tried to make the rest of my better by going to the brunch they had. The food there was great and I spent time with my mom.

Unfortunately my little brother wasn't there with her. I spent of the day with her until three. I said good by and went home. When I got home the Christmas dinner was done and I had Steak,potatoes and shrimp. It was pretty good and I kinda felt better about that day. Unfortunately it still was my worst Christmas ever!
