Real Gangsta lyrics[Chorus]She don't know whyBut all she knowsis that her youngest childis a real gangsta nowyou see...[Verse 1]He was a good kid all through elementaryA's and B's and had no enemiesBut he saw all the G's as he walked homehe couldn't read all the words on the walls thoughSo many letters crossed out with X'sHe wondered he knew not to ask those questionsNo pops, and his mom worked through the nailShe managed to buy him some shoes on saleShe didn't know, she bought the wrong colorAnd they stayed in the closet all summerEven though the kid wasn't affiliatedHe knew what they liked, he knew what they hatedNow he's in Middle School, same individualBut this is where things seem to get a bit difficultThis is the life of a young MexicanFirst verse done take me to the second one[Chorus] - 2X[Verse 2]6th grade, why so much homeworkGot a pot pie sitting in the stove burntMomma still ain't back from her job yetSo he eats it cause that's all he got leftThen he plays with his little puppy CinnamonHis last dog was a victim of a hit n runThere's a knock on his door it's his homeboyYour mom's gone? He pulls out a chrome toyWhere'd you get that from? The kid askedWe broke into a house we got a bunch of shit stashed[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/s/spm-lyrics/real-gangsta-lyrics.html]It was the first time he ever held a real gunTo get one of these you gotta steal oneWe too young they won't let us buy a gatNow if they shoot at us we can fiya backWho is they and why would they blast at me?Cause you from the hood fool, this is family[Chorus] - 2X[Verse 3]A year passes now the kids Dickies sagIn his pocket got a knife and a nickel bagAnd the homeboy that showed him his first gunGot killed last week in a burbanPutting work in 45 jerkin'Lucky shot,hit, popped like a virginClosed casket touched as he strolled past itGot his name tattooed on two hoes assesSo he'll still be remembered after a whileHis little bitch

    I believe Margaret Drabble’s statement, “Our desire to conform is greater than our respect for objective facts,” to be quite true. Throughout history, people of all ages have wanted to be accepted and belong to a group rather than look at the facts and measure what is true and false. It is very evident in our society today that not only do we want to be accepted and belong, but we also are willing to do whatever it takes, no matter what the consequences turn out to be. I agree with Drabble’s statement and believe that it is true all around the world. If you were to step outside our society and look back at it objectively, I can assure you that you would see evidence of this.…

    I have learned much in my 11 years in California public school. I learned to write in cursive; I learned my times tables; I learned the equation for a line, and I learned a thing or two about Shakespeare. However, the most important thing I learned is that is that the Common Core doesn’t work. The Common Core Standards Initiative is an approach to keep all American students on the same page. The problem is that it keeps all of us on page 1. In my AP Calculus BC class, my 13 classmates and I are piloting a Common Core textbook. At first, everyone was excited to try something new, but now we groan at the sight of the textbook. While I passed the AP test for the first year of Calculus, it has been a challenge “reviewing” these concepts in the new style. Why change a system that was proven to be successful? California, one of the last states to implement Common Core, actually made a change for the worse. Therefore, I strongly believe that the 28th amendment to the Constitution should be the nationwide abolishment of Common Core.…

    In this task I will be reflecting upon an incident undertaken on area of my work. The model of reflection I’ve chosen is Gibbs (1988), which involves reflection on the description, feelings, evaluation, conclusion and action plan (Gibbs 1988). The Gibbs (1988) reflective cycle is fairly straightforward and encourages a clear description of the situation, analysis of feelings, evaluation of the experience, analysis to make sense of the experience, conclusion where other options are considered and reflection upon experience to examine what you would do if the situation arose again. The procedure in which I will be reflecting upon is Last offices; I chose this due to how constructive and valuable it was in my personal and professional development as a student practitioner nurse.…

    Metacognition

    A key element to understand the metacognitive process for a doctoral learner begins with oneself, being that our own perspectives impact thoughts and decisions. It is important for doctoral learners to build active metacognitive skills. As doctoral students seek deeper understanding into their own thinking, we start to problem solve by asking evaluative questions. Metacognitive awareness and strategies help to build stronger cognitive skills (Okoza, Aluede, & Owens-Sogolo, 2013). As a doctoral student, metacognitive awareness learning strategies are valuable for building reflective and evaluative thinking. Okoza, et al. (2013), asks participants a series of planning, monitoring, and evaluating inquiries essential for doctoral students. Several of the inquiries would be invaluable for determining the overall goal before beginning it, adjusting for potential problems, and stopping periodically to check progress on a learning task, as well as reflecting on what could have been done differently.…

    Back in 2006 I felt really disappointed when I accepted the fact that I wasn’t going anywhere outside my country after finishing High School. I had tried my best to score well on my SAT and on my grades, along with several extracurricular activities to build up a personal profile that would be good enough to enter an American University. But things did not work out back then. My family was struck by an inconvenient event, and I was forced to make a last minute decision to stay.…
