My definition as GENTIRIFICATION.
As for me, this word means to my neighborhood is when rich people come to low/popor neighboroods & try to take over, in other words for me fix the neihborhoods, such as in better conditions as if for us we won't be able to afford living there. Like that they could take over that specific space.

Bridge Blog
1. Are you entering your bridge for strenght or looks? Explain..
Yes.. I'm going to enter it for strenght, I choosed strenght because for me it was easier to do then for looks.Took less time then it would've if I would of done it for looks.
2.Talk about the contruction of your bridge. (why did you build it the way you did?) I think that my brige looks okay, not with that much strenght but so-so. The reason I built it the way I did was because I wanted it to enter it for strenght and the way .I built a beam bridge, put 8 layers of sticks to make it last a little longer so it may resist a couple of more weights.It's simple but I like it.
3.How do you think your bridge will do at the competition? How much weight do you think your bridge will hold? I think it would do okay at the competition,well i dont have an exact number but I wish it will hold a couple maybe 30 and up i'll be okay with that.
4.Anything else You want to add?
Hmm Just hope my bridge lasts a while.

Precious
What were the the moments that stood out to you?
The moments that stood out to me where when how did Precious mother react like that to her, treat her that way. Meaning I can't believe that Precious could of stand everything she went trough with her family. That's what stood out to me the most.
How did they make you feel??
This movie made me feel really sad for Precious, but also happy for myself, the reasons for that would be because I see that I'am so lucky to have the parents that I have and that been with me since day one, & Nevertheless they repprouch me for the things I've done..
yeah they had maybe been dissapointed in me but luckly we have gotten through it.
How will they cause you to think about things diffrently in the future?
How they would make me think diffrently in the future is for sure not to stay quite when something or someone is hurting me to go out and look for help. Think about all the consequences it could bring to me and to think about things twice before I do something.

Goals
My two academic goals for my next progress report is to try harder in getting all my work done. Especially by focusing my best in
1.math and
2.english
Those are my two academic goals I have in mind for my next progress report card. How I expect to complete those two academic goals.
For example in math if I don't understand something or if something is hard for me ask for help and really focus in what I* dont understand and try to solve the problem.
For my english is pretty much the same, participate in anything that is going to get me points and or hours.
For my social goal is try my hardest to not miss any days of school, attend everyday and be here early, so I wont miss any work, and if I ever do first thing in the morning ask for the work they did the day before so I can get to work on it as soon as im done doing the work I need to finish that way I won't have work that I missed.
Those were my two academic goals and my social goal and thats the way I expect to achive them.

tears of a tiger book review
I did not read all of the book but I was here for the discussion. From what I read I really thought that this ook was intresting and I liked it, also in what we discussed i think that this books gives like alot of messages to the reader and makes them think about a lot of stuff, that may connect with them in realife.
I did like the discussion because everyone had a lot of diffrent type of thoughts and things things that connect with them. I am planning to read the book because in what I was here for it sounded intresting.
