Spanish essay in the beginging of the school year.

John



Spanish 2



As a person I am John Fitz. I am a skateboarder, biker, athlete, and interested in computers. Others see me as a typical white kid. Someone who skateboards, is crazy, will do anything, listens to death metal, and is just unnatural. Others see me as normal because they do not stereotype me are into the same things I am into. In ten years I see myself as in my prime. Not to old to settle down and too young to be told what to do. I can see myself with a steady job that I have already started working myself up the chain. When I’m twenty-six I want to still be skateboarding and want to be still athletic. I want to be one of the people that are well rounded in every field possible. I want to be good at everything know to man. Girls have always been my weakness; I would do anything for girls, well not really everything but a lot to make them happy. My knees are week from the sports that I do so now I have problems in my knees. I am very strong in endurance. I have that attitude that if people are expecting me to do something a win I will do it. Or if I am competing against other people I will make sure I come in first or pretty close to it. Most people give up too easily, not me. I just keep my mind think about something that will pass the time and keep doing what I am doing. My family is very funny. Like the first time you come over they will fart and burp and blame it on you just joking around. They are a big spending time together family, I’m still getting used to that. Most of my friends are athletic or are just cool to be with or were once athletic. They are only my close friends. I deal with problems by being alone. If I am alone I can just get over the problem and forget about it. That’s all problems are, things to get over and forget about.



I am a very good student. As long as I do the best way I learn and the teacher stays on me. I learn best by being alone. This creates fewer distractions for me while I’m working. From what I know about the ISP program so far, it’s going to be hard managing my own time. Normally teachers have deadlines for certain parts of a project. I’m the type of student that wastes time because I’m sitting there with someone and they keep talking and I can’t pay attention. I have learned that friends in high school done stick with you forever. Most of the people I meet I will never talk to again when I grow up. I learned that because I do not talk to a lot of people I went to middle school with, because most of them went to Pennsauken high. I mean every now and then I get and IM or a comment on myspace from some but that is about it. Some qualities of a teacher that I do not like is when teachers make the students do work over and over again. Also when they write the question down and answer it in a complete sentence. Especially when you get the really long questions where you have to explain. The only thing that stops me from learning is people talking or the teacher telling the students to do one thing then telling us to do another. Like teachers not being able to make up their mind. I am a serious student because I am hungry for knowledge. They only reason why I didn’t go to Pennsauken high school is because I wanted a good education in high school and I wanted to learn a trade and get a head start on my future job. For teacher to help me to learn, they must go over every single detail when I ask a question for it. If I do not know a certain part of something then it’s like you talking to be never even helped at all.



In a friend I look for someone who is relaxed and not all hyper. Someone who is athletic and into the same things I am into. I am a good friend because I do not create drama. I do not follow the theory of “hated by association”. And I will just tell you straight up how I feel about how you look, act, or talk to me. Even if you were catering to my every need I would tell you. The most difficult thing I have to deal with is people getting annoying. Some people are really cool at first. They make jokes, play around, relaxed, and don’t yell. Then some of them people start talking louder and more, and always playing around and always making jokes that are not funny. Then they start getting mad about how everyone is just sitting there looking at them. And at that time everyone is loosing respect for that person. Well enough about other people now. Some activities I would like to get involved with this year is weight lifting. But the way my knee is right now, I don’t thing I am going to be able to get into it. Also I’m not really excited about staying after school until five o’clock just to work out. By that time I’m not going to be getting home until six thirty, then once I get home I will have to do the tons of homework I have. Then I probably eat and sleep then wake up for school tired. All that right there just tells me its just going to be a hassle if I do it. And my social life is pretty good. I am happy with whom I hang out with and whom I talk to. I can tell from last year that my years in high school are going to be above average in fun then normal students.



First of all, what does diversity mean? Being diversie is being different. Everyone is diverse because everyone is different. I feel as if I am a very diverse person. I like to think of myself as modest. I am not like others neither. I have my own opinions. When I was growing up, I had a wide variety of friends I hung out with. Some were African American, Porto Rican, white, Christian, Muslim, catholic, atheist, and even bilingual people. Unfortunately I do not speak any other languages. I also find myself an open-minded person when it comes to information, if it is just rumors then I do not believe then and I become stubborn. The word diversity means to me that it’s a matter of differentials between you and the world. Tolerance is something I put up with a lot. I tolerate my uncle, family, girlfriend, friends, and some people I just do not like. Acceptance is almost the same meaning I guess but you don’t think of it any way. You just don’t think much of it, like it doesn’t even bother you. Well I think that my outlook on the world is different from my families and friends. I am a realist; I like to see everything how it is and the truth of it all. I do not need and pretty blanket or story to cover up what people may think I’m too young to know about. The people in my town don’t really think. They just try to get by and create drama because they have nothing to lose. And I don’t believe in god anymore, so religion does not affect me. This is little about me just in case you forgot who I am over the summer. Thank you for your time.
