welcome!!

Hi, welcome to me and Kyle's page, my name is Jesus. I hope you have the time to read our blog posts, we are writing blogs to show our growth through out reading and writing. But not only in the class room and in school, also in life. The blogs are also to show how we grew as readers and writers in life outside of school, and what strategies we have picked up. We are doing this because #1 this is an exit project #2 also so that others like the seventh grade could look at what we are writing so they can learn from our information. But not to copy it only learn from it. #3 and most importantly so we can leave something behind because this is our last year in middle school.

My outside life

My outside life is all just about having a good time, especially with friends. After school I don't do much but at home thats when school work matters because I get the rest of the day to read and/or write. Since I lived in the same building for 14 years all of my reading and writing experiences stuck with me, I forgot what age was I when I started reading, I think I was about two or three. I know that by the age of three I already knew how to write my name, the teacher at my day care was surprised because....well you know, its not everyday where you see a three year old writing their name without any help. I think reading was the most difficult thing I learned as a child, because I talked with a lisp, even though I still though, I never pronounced stuff that start with a "th" correctly (I still can't), and the thing that was always annoying for me was that I alwaysed re-read the same sentence. I learned how to reduce the chances of that happening. Writing was really easy for me, the only challenges was writing neatly and writing the letters on the lines of lined paper, then again every one has that problem at a very young age. My outside life is mostly just about kick'n back, having fun and when its time to do work, I do the work.

Why do people come to America? Is it worth it for them and for us?

We chose this essential question because this has been a question that has been often asked through out the history of America. Especially at the turn of the twenty first century because that's when a lot of immigrants were coming to live in America. I think the main reason why people come to live in America is to start a new life because things might not be going well at their homeland. For example, at the turn of the twenty first century a lot of immigrants came to live in America to start a better life because bad stuff happened in their country. As a result, during this time period the immigrant population was very high. I think its worth it for them even though if things don't go well at first because they still overcome the challenging obstacles and succeed in life in their new home. I don't know if its worth it for us though, I guess it sorta is if you want to make new friends. I'm not sure because if you think about it, ever since immigrants started coming it has been more of a challenge to get a job. I think its about 50-50 for if its worth it for us. Its mostly worth it for the people who come over here because they come here to start a new life, to get a well paid job, and they get away from the bad stuff and disasters that happen in their country.
