Although I see why Avid is a well-recognized program, I’ve personally had no benefit from it. It’s because of this that I predict exiting from the program won’t affect me. I know Avid will look good in my college transcript but I don’t worry about that since I have pretty good grades and keep them that way. When I need help, I can always go to my teachers for tutoring, as I already do. I’m aware that this is a new year and a fresh start but if it’s the same thing all over again, I know I would regret staying in the program for yet another year.…
Fortunately programs meant to enable students ability to achieve their goals such as AVID have been created to give kids and teenagers an advantage in numerous ways. I hope to join AVID because I want to improve overall as a person. Currently I would say i’m not the most preeminent organizer and I would like to improve on my organization and this is my first reason I would like to be in AVID. My second reason for hoping to join the AVID program is because I believe that the tutoring twice a week will benefit me in a positive way which would improve my grades and knowledge of what I am learning. Lastly, I would like to be part of the AVID program because I believe that AVID will motivate me to be successful and achieve my potential.…

AVID is a program that gives kids a way to get to college by giving scholarships which is the only way I’d be able to go to college because my parents say that they can’t afford for three kids to go to college. My parents tell me that I have to work my hardest in this class and stay smart so maybe just maybe I won’t have to pay but a small amount out of my pocket or even my parent’s pockets.…
Last week I have watched a few movies, but I found only one movie very interesting. This movie is called “Silent Hill”. This movie carries 3 important points which can attract my mind. First, it hides a mystery. It seems that there is a terrible place where there are a lot of monster, but we can’t know clearly where it is. This place always appears when a girl, who is the most important actress, walks or goes somewhere alone, and it always appears in her dream as well. But it disappears when the real people come near her. It frightens her every day and night. That place is very strange. Second, this movie shows the bravery of the girl. She dares go to find her father at that strange place although she knows that it is dangerous, for she wants to help her father who was caught by the monster there. She decided without hesitation, and then she started her adventure. Finally, she found a coin which can show her the way to go to that place that is called “Silent Hill”. She is a very brave girl. Third, this movie shows the deep love of daughter to father, and husband to wife. The love between daughter to father is when the girl dares risk her life to help her father from the silent hill. Another one, the love between husband to wife is that her father decides to continue to live in a silent hill to find his wife, who is caught into the silent hill for a long time ago, although his daughter can help him go out. So that at the end of the story, her father still lives in silent hill and let her come out. It is so sensitive. I really like this movie, and I will watch it again when I have…
I had fun in the convention but there were also problems that I encountered during the event. First is the place where we seated, I could barely see the emcees of the event, I do not want to rant about it but I just wish that there was a projector an screen in front of our side that shows what is happening in front, it was kind of hard for me to catch up on what’s really happening that time. And the second one is I ran out of seminar to sign up to, all of the workshops that I wanted to join is already full so I just signed up to the workshop that they added on that day to accommodate others who weren’t able to sign up for the workshop that they like.…

Global perspectives forced me to slow down and contemplate the world around me. Contemplate the human rights issues, the cultural challenges, and the historical adversities our world has overcome. The class project gave me a deeper appreciation for the importance of retaining cultural diversity. The class assignments developed compassion in me for victims of human rights violations.…
Does English mean ordinary to you? For me, I think English is extra-ordinary in my life since it is a subject during my school life and at the same time it is a language which is commonly used. In my secondary school life, I have studied in two schools. One was taught in English and the other one was taught in Cantonese. As I have tried a different teaching mode from others, I experienced the importance of English. In the followings, I am going to share my thoughts on the good aspects and obstacles in learning English and suggest further improvements on my weakness.…
The common I found in school is the nature gas which was in the canteen. It is the major form of energy that we use everyday. At most of time, people use nature gas as fuel when they were cooking and also in the hybrid vehicle. It is much cleaner than the oil and coal, but it still produce lots of carbon dioxide while it burning. Therefore, we need to save it, and use it sparingly.…
In completing this task, I have got many experiences. In my opinion, this task is one of the most challenging tasks. By completing this task I have learned that if we want to have something, we have to work towards it. We cannot get something that we want by just hoping and waiting only. Actually, it is not too easy for me. But thank god I have done it finally. Praise be upon Him for giving me the strength to complete this task and I have make serious efforts to submit the task before the due date.…
