coming of age final

Growing up I was one of those Rascal kids who thought everything was so simple. I would think that being a parent would be easy, or i would think money would come easy. I would beg all the time and tell my parents what i want and not what i need. I would get a lot of lickens because i would cry all the time if i don't get what i want. I used to always make trouble to my brother growing up with me and we would always horse play to make my dad get more pissed. I live in Kalihi and it is not like a rich play it would be dirty i would play out side and get muddy and walk back in the house dan make the house more dirty. My mom who would clean up all the time and i would walk in and mess everything up.

My parents asked me if i wanted to join any sports and I told them that I didn't want to play any sports because i was scared of failing or getting hurt. But my parents knew i had something in me. They made me try out for flag football. My parents told me to just try my best. I was about 7 years old at that time and i didn't really know what was happening. When I had my first football game i stepped on the field at ewa. I looked at my opponents and they were 5 times my size. My dad put me with the big boys so he could toughen me up.  I was so scared that i would make excuses that i didn't want to play but my parents would make me play anyway. I got plowed over mostly every time I tried to go in. My dad told me to never give up and stop being so scared. So i listen to him and tried harder and i finally got in there and pulled the flag .

Finally flag football season ended and my dad asked me if i want to go play tackle and the second he asked me i immediately said “no”. He kept motivating me to play because he said that failure is not what brings you down is pushes us to get up and keep fighting. He got me to try out for tackle football and I did. The coach put me in as the d line and i've been getting tackles all game. I knew i was strong enough to be the person i can be and i knew that God would always be  on my side. Tackle football for kalihi Jaguars really taught me how to be discipline and that parents work hard for us to play sports and to buy the gear for us. Football made me stronger and more tough so i don't cry anymore. My dad motivated me through my whole football times. 

As i grew older, high school came around and i had to focus more on my work, I wanted to be as smart as i can be so i can go to college. My dad taught me that if i wanted another way to go to college, i could get a football scholarship and they would pay for my college for free and i wanted to take a lot of pride in that so i don't have to let my parents pay for college football in high school was really tough because if the running i didn't do in a long time. High school football really changed me to becoming a grown teenager because the coaches really taught me how to set my goals and that hard work comes from your effort. They taught me that effort comes from me and only me. I could use the information my good coaches teach me in school so when theres work that is hard, all i have to do is put effort and the teachers would see that I'm working hard. Football changed my life from when i was a kid because it makes me want to make dreams that are very amazing.

  

Three people story

When Justin Bieber don't high five me. I was so sad that Justin Bieber never High five me because he's my love. I loved him like the heart in the background. I started crying and all the tears were on my glasses of mine. I opened my mouth and cried like a baby. He is like a hero to me. He saved my life in my dreams but in real life I feel like a loser because he never want to high five me.;(

This old lady came up to me and smiled with her fake teeth and asked me to give her money for her medical bill. I gave her money because i thought she was poor and lonely. she gave us dinner after that and she said sorry for robbing you.

I seen my father all dressed up to get deployed. I didn't want him to leave so me and my sisters ran to hug him and begged him not to leave and he told us that it is not his choice to leave us. He promised us that when he comes back from the war i will be set and ready  for you kids and i will never go back to leave you girls again. And when he said that i was so happy and felt so much better that he left. But when he came back he only had one leg and couldn't remember anything. So me and my sisters were really sad.

Coming Of age

Growing up I was one of those Rascal kids who thought everything was so simple

And i got a lot of licken’s because i didn't really know what was going on and i used to always make trouble and cry all the time. My parents asked me if i wanted to join any sports and I told them that I didn't want to play any sports because i was scared of failing or getting hurt. But my parents knew i had something in me.

I got runned over mostly every time I tried to go in. My dad told me to never give up and stop being so scared. So i listen to him and tried harder and i finally got in there and pulled the flag . My dad was so proud of me.

Finally flag football season ended and my dad asked me if i want to go play tackle and the second he asked me i immediately said “no”.

       Growing up i went to highschool and i wanted to play football for the Moanalua high school team and i had to get bigger and stronger. My dad told me that football would be much harder and he told me that i had to pick up my strength.

      

Joining moanalua football is great because it changed my life and it helped me set my goals for my future. It taught me that football is important and it can make my life successful. i want to continue my journey in football and see when football takes me after high school. I look forward to playing football in college if i really want it all i have to do is work hard.

Genki Sushi

Ala Moana

Honolulu, Hawaii

Dear Genki Sushi Administration,

My family And I have been eating at Genkis for many Months.  Your great sushi and your really good food has been keeping me a satisfied customer for a long time.

However, we been having some issues lately with the food. This last week I went to genki sushi with my family. When we ordered food to eat it was really good and we had a lot of plated that day. My brother had about 7 plates and my mom had about 10 and i had about 10 and it was really good I wanted to come back and get some more when we left. But when we left I was really full and it was a Good ride home. When I got home I felt a little sick and i was wondering what got me sick. I didn’t want to get sick that day because the next day I had practice for football. I found out my stomach was getting sore and i thought it was from the cereal i ate. But when i looked online I found out that genki sushi is closing because of a sign of Hep A and I got really scared because i thought i was going to get hep A but lucky I was not. I found out that I just got a stomach flu because of how much food i ate, and I wanted to know who is shipping all the food to genki and how genki should really find out what was inside of the food product before taking it.

In conclusion, I really like the food and even if you guys closed down i will still eat there because it is really good and after I send this message I hope they really look over their food products before sharing it. Thank you for making me a satisfied customer.

Sincerely, Javon Monico

Complaint Letter to genki sushi

Facts:

1. Officials have confirmed 168  cases of the virus since June, including dozens of people who required hospitalization, saying imported frozen scallops served raw at Genki Sushi are likely to blame. The scallops were imported from the Philippines, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, and distributed by the Honolulu-based wholesale company Koha Oriental Foods.
2. The The virus, which sickens those who consume contaminated food or water, is highly contagious and spreads fastest in settings where personal hygiene is subpar or sanitary conditions are poor. Those who are infected stay contagious for up to two weeks, and are often most contagious before symptoms ever appear.
3. This virus should be checked and whoever is sending genking sushi should watch what kind of food they are shipping out.
4. A lot of complaints towards genki sushi, I think they should keep working on it because there food is really good

MY personal experience, I didn't get hep a but when i ate there I got food poisoning when i got home i had a stomach flu and I didn't feel like going back there. But the food was really good and i want to know who was sending you the scallops  and get to the bottom of this

Depression

Depression is a serious part of some of our lives that we really have to watch out for. Mostly with teens, but with adults it can happen to because everybody has feelings. " As we grow up we take the voices of people who were significant with us". Depression can really be serious when it comes to your life. Depression can separate you from your family and your friends.

    Depression can be a good learning experiment for the person because she can get away with depression and teach other people to live a better live. Some things that can lead to   depression could be some things people say on the internet, or some other things could be what other friends say about you or what happened between your parents. Some kids don't really have married parents so they have to live with one parent. So some kids get into the depression stage which can cause life problems. Kids can have poor social skills and relationships. "teen fail to meet parental standards or peer group standards.

     Depression can lead to a low self esteem is the underlying cause of much of the depression people suffer such as things you can't do well. Always negative about your self, or when it comes to being successful things like negativity. Basic thinking and parent issues is a big thing too. Not being close to your parents is a really sad thing and now days we should teach our students how to start conversations and to teach them better life skills so our society doesn't really become negative.

      

     Some people lack the knowledge of knowing who they really are they have to look in the insides and stop writing about the outside of them. Depression is dangerous because it could lead to suicide problems. Depression is something we have to be curious of because when one person feels like suiciding it affects the whole family and it can really leave a permanent mark to our parents feelings and they could go through depression too. But the different between adults and teens is that adults can handle their own problems and with teens they just don't know where to put them.

  Depression could have a good and bad to it. The good part of depression is that when we get over it could be a good learning experience and we could teach other people how to prevent it. The bad thing about it is that it could lead to many things like what I said above. But we have to learn from our mistakes and be a blessing everyday.
