What to think about the FIFA world cup this year?

This year is the new FIFA world cup, it’s the 20^th FIFA world cup in history. Brazil has won five times, with one title less is Italy. Germany has won 3 world cups and lost two world wars. Argentina and Uruguay which are rivals have won two titles each. France, England and Spain won once. Most people are in favor of Brazil, Holland, Germany, Portugal and Argentina. Why? Because those countries have people favorites like Neymar, Lionel Messi, Ozil, and Cristiano Ronaldo and so on.   

Everyone is thinking about Spain and those really good countries. Why not think about your country? Many people love soccer. There are over 270 million people who play soccer in the world. That’s 4% of the world population, exactly the population of the U.S. or more. I think that Brazil, Spain, Argentina, Italy, Portugal and Uruguay have a good chance of winning. Why? These countries always get a chance, they also have the best players.

If we count what continents won more FIFA world cups, it’s Europe with 10. South America has a total of 9 FIFA world cups won. There is a lot of rivalry between European and South American countries. Especially Argentina and Portugal. People can’t exactly tell what can happen unless they have a time machine (which we don’t have) they can’t tell. Anything can happen in the FIFA world cup. “We’re excited. We’re looking forward to the challenge and we think we’re a good team. We think we’re a good team that can get better in a lot of areas.” U.S.A. Soccer Coach.  Even the worse country can beat the best country in the world. We’ll just have to wait.

Never say goodbye

A legend has fallen on the May 28, 2014. Our dear beloved Maya Angelou has died and many people are sad that such and amazing person died. She was a poet, and artist, and a spectacular person. We will always have your poems.

Many celebrates such as opera is hurt broken. She knew Maya and she said she changed her life. “Dr. Maya Angelou's wisdom has inspired countless people around the world, but she definitely inspired me. I always will love you and your powerful words.

I know one quote that helped me get up every morning. The quote “still I rise” is what keeps I going and it is powerful. So even though she is gone I still have a piece of her.

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may tread me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?

'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells

Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,

Just like hopes springing high,

Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?

Bowed head and lowered eyes?

Shoulders falling down like teardrops.

Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?

Don't you take it awful hard

'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines

Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?

Does it come as a surprise

That I dance like I've got diamonds

At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame

I rise

Up from a past that's rooted in pain

I rise

I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,

Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

I rise

Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear

I rise

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,

I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I rise

I rise

I rise.

Maya Angelou she is gone I still have a little piece of her.

In loving memory Maya Angelou

The Incredible White House

The Incredible White House
Elizabeth, NJ
Random Topic (white house)

Have you ever been or wanted to the white house? The White house is, the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States. It’s the biggest house you can ever go to or have if you become the next president. The White house takes place1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. The white house has 132 rooms, 32 bathrooms, 3 elevators, 28 fireplace, 147 windows, 412 doors, 7 staircases, also 6 floors. At this point President Obama lives in the White house with the first lady Michelle Obama, and there 2 daughters named Natasha Obama and  Malia Ann Obama.

George Washington was also the first president in the world to attend to the White House. Suppose the White House been standing since the 1800’s, but it got burned down in 1814 and it had to get rebuild and after that is just been standing. At this point the White House has so many interest things in it like a Tennis Court, Jogging Track, Swimming Pool, Movie Theater, and even a bowling lane. Did you know about 6,000 people visit the White House almost every day? Also if you didn’t know, the White House is the president private home.

Since the white house can have a quote I would than tell one of the quotes the President Obama once said. President Obama once said “If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress”. This quote means if you’re doing something educational in life keep doing it don’t stop because something big might happen to you. It don’t have to be something education either just do things that is good so you can achieve something in you life.  Like example President Obama he wanted to become the first African American President and guess what he made it because he stayed on the right path and also he didn’t quit.

A Rhyming Poem

Fabliha Roza
In a classroom

                                    I am the Best

I am the best.

I can pass any test.

Whoever says I will suffer,

They are a duffer.

Whoever says mean words,

I make them fly away like birds.

I roar like a lion when I am furious,

The people run down the street to see because they’re curious.

Because I’m so fabulous,

They all get jealous.

Whenever I say I’m a genius,

They say, “Are you serious?”

Fabliha Roza is the name,

And I don’t play any game.

 

Student Behavior

Elijah Pineda                 7/303

 

Today, I would like to discuss on the topic of student behavior. I couldn’t help but notice but notice that during the overall school year, most of the students (6-8) are loud and rowdy, while the others (1-5) is more controlled and well-mannered. Why is this? It makes no sense…that is unless this is how our generation is going to end up. But at least there are {SOME} people like me who are normal.

 

“I guess over time, a student becomes more and more unbalanced.” I conclude. It makes sense on one part, but then there are some 5^th graders who are rather vulgar (They swear quite some.) There is an exception that everyone is different, but should at least be able to control themselves. It’s not that hard, but they make it look like it’s a real struggle. Why must our generation be so difficult to deal with?

Strict rules: are you a victim or suspect?

At iPrep Academy in Elizabeth, New Jersey, 4 students were interviewed on their opinion of the school. They all said almost the same thing. Students Nicole and Shalencia both said they would like to be valedictorian because it would show that the school was, but it would show that this school changed their lives and it would look good on their record. Both students said that from the beginning of the year till now, the rules have changed, they enforced stricter rules.

Both Shalencia and Nicole, “They took away our backpacks because multiple students have been eating during class. To be honest, I didn’t sneak in food so I find it unfair that this rule was enforcement.” Thy think they should have their backpacks for multiple reasons, books, laptops, binders and more. Our backpacks are checked every morning to see if we have anything vile but students still sneak in food. Shouldn’t backpacks be taken away from the suspects, but not the victims?
