Closing

We have three more days in class before it is all over. This semester went by very fast. In this class I learned alot. I think leaving Comp 105 I will be a better writer and ready for the next level. The class was very intense at first but I think I got by pretty good. I meet alot of cool people in this class and Professor Stewart was really a pleasure to have. I love that she always wanted to help and kept our door open. I know I didnt utilize her as much as I should have but you live and you learn. I hope all of my Comp classmates continue to have a great journey in college and in life.

Fire up the Grill @ Benihana

18601 Hubbard Drive

Dearborn MI, 48126

(313)- 593-3200

Hours: Lunch- M/T11am-2:30 pm

Dinner: M/T5:30- 10pm Friday open to 10:30pm

When you first walk into Benihanas the smell of Japanese food hits your nose. You smell all type of different aromas. You hear knives slice and food fry. At Benihanas you have a choice of having your food cooked in front of you or you can sit at the sushi bar. The atmosphere is so cozy. The lights are dimmed its so soothing. When they sit you at the table you set with people you dont know unless your table is a party of six. They are very clean...they clean the knives in front of your and reclean the stove.

Benihana is a Japanese restaurant. They sell steak, chicken, seafood and shushi. As a Japanese tradition they close at 2:30pm and reopen at 5pm for dinner. Benihana is know for cooking infront of their customers and having very skillful chiefs. Every cheif has to know how to do tricks in order to work there.

The food is delicious. They gave me a choice of a soup or salad. The salad isnt that well its has this yucky dressing. However, the soup is great. I ordered a lunch duet with shrimp and steak with a side order of chicken fried rice. My steak was very tender, and my shrimp were very good also. They were marinated in garlic butter and lemons. Benihanas is very big on garlic butter. I absolutely loved my rice. While cooking your food the chiefs does really cool tricks. They make hearts out of the rice, put shrimp shells in their hats, and make volcanoes out of onions.

If anyone ever dines at Benihanas I would recommend the chicken friend rice. If you dont get anything else, you must get the rice. I would also recommend you go for lunch. The lunch menu is half as expensive as the dinner. Lunch rages for $8.50- 10.00 while dinner is $17.50- 45.00. I think everyone should try Benihanas atleast once. Its a really cool experience.

Acceptance Letters

My acceptance letters have been rolling in but not to any of my top picks...Well honestly I dont have any top picks. I really dont know what school I want to go to. Ive been excepted to Western, Grand Valley and Michigan State. These are all good school but I still think I want to go out of state. Im still waiting on my decisions from Emory, Spelman, Purdue, Hampton, UT and UofM Dearborn. I have filled out millions of applications and still dont know if any of those schools are schools I really want to go to. I never thought this would be so hard.

Restaurant Review

http://www.10best.com/Chicago,IL/Restaurants/Best_Restaurants/

My class is probably very aware of the fact that Im in high school taking college course. Going to college while in high school isnt as hard as I thought it would be however, its very time consuming. Its very difficult to do high school things while doing college stuff. I know next year when I go to college I will be very well ROUNDED. Having a job while in high school and college is pretty CRAZY!! I cant wait to the day where I can just focus on college.

Academic Paper

An academic Paper is by far the hardest paper to write. I dont know why but it is. Maybe its the fact that you have to have evidence for everything you say. I think its hard to right an academic essay if you dont feel strongly on the topic. Writing this paper will make me a better writer. Its going to help me write about things I dont really care about writing. In school all of your writing will not spark your attention.

A new job!

I was kind of scared that I wasnt going to get a new job because of my age. However, I got a job with American Eagle. I am very excited. I know this job is going to be different from Tall Girl but I love experiencing new things.

Midterm

I cant believe it is midterms already. This means we are half way done. With that being said I don't think I am as far as I can or should be. I never thought this course would be so difficult. In high school I was or am an almost perfect writer. I think I need to become a deeper thinker. I think I'm a deep person but I need to become deeper. I also think I need to have better time management skills. I feel so overwhelmed with the reading and keeping up with blogs. As a teacher I think Professor Stewart is great. She lends a helping hand its just up to me to grab it. It not that I dont think I need help or know how to ask for it I just dont know where to began.

QW

#1 Pg 45. There are a few issues that should be addressed in my community. However the one that sticks out the most to me is our school funding. I think that our schools spend "our" money wrong. Instead of buying new books they but scooters and install new cameras. Our school needs new sport uniforms and can even do with new books. I think instead of the district spending money on this for themselves they should be buying new wireless laptops or trying to expand our wireless access in our school. If I was a administrator I would do things so differently.

#1 Pg. 71 Through out my high school experience I think I learned the most in math and science. I used to think I had a very good English background until I started my college courses. The writing is so different. I think it was a better way high school could have prepared me for college writing. I think Math helped because it showed me study skills and help me with study discipline. I know use my study habits for math and science in my college course.

Finally a Aunt!

On saturday my sister have her baby!!...I am so exicted!! This is my first neice of nephew but I know hes going to be the closet to me. I watched him being born. Wow!! Was it a .... site!! I put ... because I dont know what to call it! Im so attached. My sister had a baby boy. She named him Cayden Jacob Hill. I have been with him everyday since he has been born! I love him to death.

MLK Quote

King famous quote "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." has stuck with people for many years. I honestly dont know how to take this statement!! I guess it can be interpreted many different ways.

I think injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Because a bad decision can damage alot of other people. We all are supposed to be treated equally and if one person isnt treated right it can lead to others not being treated equally. All Americans are connected one way or another.

I dont know if I interpreted the famous quote right however, I know that it caused many people around the world to fight against ending racism and violence. King was a powerful man and his words move many people of his time, and still moves people in my time.

Closing!!

The most horrible news was broken to me today! My job is CLOSING! I have been working at Tall Girls for 8 months. I have grown to love my co workers like family, its going to be really hard to part for me!

Its CRAZY how I found out we were closing. I was at word totally clueless. One of our customers called and asked were we closing! I told her No or I didnt think so. She said, "Well the website says you are closing!". I was totally lost for words.

I have been working at Tall Girl for about a year! I have became very dependent on my salary. I dont like how they told us oneday and then the next told us we were closing in a month, or maybe less. We are really in the dark here.

Its a sad occasion but I need to be optimistic and hope I find a new job FAST!

The Four Freedoms

The four freedoms written by FDR consist of Freedom of Speech, Want, Worship and from Fear. The freedoms that told out to me the most is freedom of want and fear. Freedom of Want is a statement that people can have anything they heart desire. This is a good thing but also a bad thing. Somethings that people want they dont need. One of the freedom of want posters was of an overweight person. Being overweight destroys people health. Carrying around extra fat has been the death of many people.

Freedom of fear also stood out to me. It made me realize its something our country as a whole dont have. I myself dont feel safe in this country ever since 9-11 took place. It was just so easy for terrorist to come into our country and ruin so many lives. Our country is not 100% fearless and never will be!

Love?? Or is it?

What is love??

How can the person who claims the love you hurt you??

How can the one person that can make your day can ruin it??

Why do some people stick around and give people second chances when they hurt them the first time??

Why do females wear their emotions on their sleeves but boys act like nothing gets to them??

Why do people lie while in relationships??

Why do people cheat? If you arent happy with the person you are with why be with them??

Why is love so confusing?? Or maybe if your confused its not love!!

~~~ Can someone PLEASE answer my questions!! Atleast two!!

Comp 105

I think this is going to be by far the hardest class I have ever taken or will ever take. Its not going to be hard because of the work but because of whats expected. I dont wear my emotions on my sleeve. That is a task I dont think I can complete. I have spent my WHOLE life to protray an image of what I wanted people to see. I think getting deep into who I am is back steping from all the process I have made to hide me. I have barried the real me so deep down inside I dont even know if I would recognize her if she slapped me in the face. On the outside Im beautiful and intelligent and EVERYONE think I have it TOGETHER but my inside in dark and shaped like a maze!.... Gosh!...This first paper is going to we a wowzer for me!! I hope the rest of the class isnt about who I am or how I should feel.

The Power of Words

The powerful words I remember....



"Yes we can"...Obama



"We suffer pain, we hang tight to hope, we nurture expectations, we are plagued occasionally by fears, we are haunted by defeats and unrealized hopes"...Sidney Poitier



"Everything happens for a reason"...Jackie Kelly

"Omg, Lol, Lmao, Ard"...peers

"I HATE you!"

"I LOVE you!"

Las Vegas

After class on Wednesday, I went to work. I got off of work at about nine oclock but I got home at about 9:45 because I took my co worker home. Once I got home I began to back for my trip to Las Vegas. On Thursday. my mother, father, little brother and I boardered the plane at about 7.

My family and I arrived in Vegas at 8am their time and 11am ours. We stayed at the MGM grand. While in Vegas I did many cool things. On Thursday my family and I went to see The Jersey boys, on friday we say The original Temptations and on Sunday we watched the fight Mayweather vs. Marquez. In between all the shows My mom and I went to fashion show mall. I got some really cool things from Dilards and Macys.

My trip was pretty fun the only thing I didnt like was all the smoke (it flared my asthma) and the fact that I didnt have internet access. If I didnt have facebook mobile I probably would of went insane.

Thinking out loud

When I was a little child I was very wise for my age ahead of my class..Instead of Playing with baby dolls I wanted to heal people and make them better. Every since I was a child it seemed as though I had a promising future and I was every one's Golden Child....As I got Older I became Naive,Lazy, and undependable...Why?Because I had no child hood always treated as an adult with many responsibilities, I began to think If I was Lazy then no one would ask me for anything of expect so much from me!..The Roles I played became an Permanent Mind Set for me as a Person.
What I looked at as a disaster for a child and something too much for me to Handle is something I wish I could have again It motivated me and Inspired me. Since High School It seems Like my life has took a down fall...New Chapter in my life a New Jackie...I became a nicer person and person reliable to my friends because I used to be so cruel to them and an unreliable person to my parents and teachers(the ones who used to expect so much for me)I thought that this new Change in my life would make me a better person...My mother always told me a good attitude will sometimes get you farther than a good education...I have always wanted to go far in life but I think I took that advice the wrong way...Some of the people I have let into my life has made my life a difficult life to live!...I am known to be loyal but maybe to loyal because lately my loyalty and dedication to my friends has gotten me into trouble. I had to learn the hard way that the only person who is by my side is God and the only person who really cares about me is MY Mother...

Boys will always be here so I have a lot of time to focus on them and now is really not the time

Material things are not important...those are things my mom buy for me and work hard for me to have...if I dont work hard and get a good education I will never have the things I will really need.

Leaving you I want to tell you that everything happens for a reason the timing the place, everything...Every person that comes in your life is there for a reason. From every situation learn something and take that with you!...Learn from your mistakes dont dwell on them because once its done you can never take it back, you can just never do it again
