Technology

We can communicate much quicker now, thanks to technology. It however, actually does result in people learning less. People are actually learning more from what they see on the Internet or television. It gives us news about the people around us and the world around us. Sometimes, when I am on the Internet, I read about major things that are happening in the world today. I can see the weather, so I know what the weather will be like tomorrow. Technology has improved our lives one step at a time. Then again, we have used technology so much that we become addicted to it. Don't you think that we have to learn to do something with our own hands for a change? If technology was gone, there would be a major, major impact on today's world.
Some people do learn less. They are to addicted to games and unnecessary things like dress up games or whatever. They don't use the internet as a useful resource, concluding with learning less. They do not stay focused. If the Internet was gone, what would we do? We would have to use our textbooks, right? So now we see how technology can get in the way of learning. It changes your life, so make sure you don't become and addict. Remember next time that what would happen if it all disappeared? We'd learn then. Technology today has made a great impact on our lives.

Welcome Ms.Carroll!

Hey! I am Parthi Dasondi. I'm from Lincoln Elementary. My teacher was Mrs.O'Brien. I tend to be loud, and talkative, but I'm outgoing and weird sometimes too. That's what makes me, well me. I'm weird and I'm proud of it. I know, never heard that one before! I believe in making dreams happen. I absolutely love coming to school. Herbert Hoover is the best middle school on the planet. It's fun and awesome and not boring. I love coming to school everyday and seeing my friends and they can always make me laugh. Our English class is probably the best. We are fun to talk to, we get good grades,and we can make you laugh. The only problem is that we can get a little bit loud sometimes. My favorite period of the day is gym. I love meeting my friends and doing something active and fun instead of sitting in class all day, but the day goes by when I'm having fun, like usual. The only con about school is my teeny weeny locker, but I can live with it.
Our English class usually starts with a do now. We come in and take a grammar sheet and other papers from the back table and get started on them. Later, Mrs.Patalano, the most awesome English teacher in the world, goes over the grammar sheet on her handy dandy Smartboard. Then, we do everyday English work. We go over essays, read articles, act out plays, and we do many more things. The most hated one in our class would probably be the typing test. We have to type a specific amount of words without looking at the keys in one minute. We will get better at it, so it won't be a problem. Mrs.Patalano is the most organized person I have ever met. She is brilliant. She has a spectacular way of teaching English, she pushes hard enough to mad you improve and we do. The impossible has been achieved. I am going to miss her next year. She can be funny,too. So our class is pretty much the fun class. I hope to learn some things about you and maybe you could help us with our college career unit. I hope you enjoy your stay here at English period 1. :)

Career

I know this might sound stupid to some of you, but it's one of my biggest dreams. I have always wanted to be a musician. I want to live in California,and go to Yale University. Yale has been my dream college since I was four years old. I am also going to apply to Princeton University, Brown, and Harvard. But, I still want to get accepted into Yale. That's why I am going to start working hard in school from now on. I've always wanted to record a song in a professional recording studio, get signed with a record label, and perform on stage with thousands of screaming fans. The salary is fine as long it's a job I like. Let's open the doors to thousands of opportunities, you never know. You might be one in a million.

New Year's Resolution

The start of the new year is a great way to improve something about yourself. This year, I really want to stop biting my nails. That is my main new years resolution. I bite my nails very often and they start to look really bad and disgusting. Biting my nails only leads to gross nails and bad health. In order to stop biting my nails, I bought a clear nail polish that is called Thum. It is a clear fluid that you apply to your nails, so when you put your nail into your mouth, it tastes really sour or bitter. If I can accomplish this goal, then I will be able to have beautiful and healthy nails. This year will be the start of something new!
