My name is Wendy Tepoz, my capstone is Stress Reliever. I had to think about our school four core values inquiry, research, collaboration, and presentation. . Since the beginning of the year I knew what I was going to be doing. My main question is 'Do animals reliever human stress?’, the reason I pick this question because I thought of both, people and animals. Half of the world is suffering from stress that turns into depression, also half of the world's animals are being killed because there isn't enough space to keep a lot of animals at the shelters. I decided to make a survey to see what people's answers would be about relieving stress with animals. I seen a lot of different methods that are not healthy to reliever stress, which made me think instead of unhealthy methods, people could be relieving stress with an animal that will love you as much as you will. I decided to put my question to the test. I had two volunteers that had no clue on what was going to happen. I didn't feel satisfied with only my study and my survey. I felt as if I had to do much more and give back to the animals in this world. I decided through out the year to have bake sales to raise money to donate. I bought cat and dog supplies and took it to PAWS as part of a donation and a thank you to the animals that help people smile.

The source has provided useful information. I did not realize many people have notice having an animal has changed the way people live their lives. The article was very interesting to read. Reading this article has shown the many studies that has people noticing that animals have change the stress level in people homes and lives. I have learned in the UK the number of having an animal in a home has changed to 15 percent because of the way animals have improved people to have a healthy lifestyle. This source helps me know the knowledge that in other places in the world that animals are being viewed differently and not only has a pet wise but a pet that can is helpful for stress levels.

This article may not have as much detail but it has many questions to test stress levels which help me realize that my survey needs to provide many more questions other that a “yes” or “no” questions. Many questions should be about disagreeing and their everyday life, and things that can help with stress that is differently to many people. This article has made me open my mind. I have to think about other people and different situation people can be in. My audience is students, I should think of what the students are going through with school. This source has helped me because it is as an example that would help me with my own survey and I will be doing two survey which this will help me provide interesting questions.

This source has many interesting facts, more about the mental side of stress. Stress can provide many symptoms to many people. Stress should be worked on and less stress is better for the own body. There are many stress tests which can be mentally or physically. This source helps me because even though its not about animals helping the human body reduce stress, I have learned about many different types of stress and the symptoms that it can be medically serious. There can also be a stress while sleeping, there are many ways to test stress but I am mentally testing stress. This source has helped me learn more about stress.

Moskowitz, By Clara. "Animals Stressed Out, Too." LiveScience. TechMedia Network, 17 Oct. 2008. Web. 29 Jan. 2015.

This article I have read things that I have already learned. I have learned many things about the shelter and that animals have a lot of stress because of being in cage all day and the animals listen to each other barking everyday. The shelter employees have protections for their ears and animals do not which build up their stress levels. This article provides informations for me but its not exactly what I am researching because I am doing stress on humans and animals reduce the stress. This article has showed me that animals are having stress because of the shelter and because of being locked inside and can’t come out, learning that animals and humans reduce each other stress because having contact with each other.

"Dogs Help Humans Reduce Stress." Dogs Help Reduce Stress. AnimalSmart.org, n.d. Web. 29 Jan. 2015.

This article is a study that has been tested on kids that have special needs and different other children. The animals have shown that kids with special needs get real nervous around different objects and humans but having an animals warm and friendly has shown that the kids are calm around animals than other things. It has shown that many kids are happier in their household to come home to a pet to play with and walk, which improves the kids exercising because kids and animals(dogs) need a walk in the park and children need a playground to play. This article helps me because it shows the difference with the kids and the animals.

This source has a lot of great information, animals can provide so much without people knowing because when people get too stressed it is a good feeling coming home to a friend(animal), its a good way to look at your pet and feel happy because they greet being friendly. Animals have different ways of showing how much they love you, because you are the only person they love and know, and giving back to you, taking away the stress that comes from work and gives exercise when your pet needs a walk. This article has also made a study that men with AIDs have shown less depression when have a pet. This source is excellent because it has great detail of animals reducing human stress and how the animals are doing that.

This source explains the way many people can relieve the stress people are going through, how many people turn to technology, yoga and many other ways to turn away from stress but most people don't know about the animals that can reduce stress and the benefit of having an animal. This source has provided me with a lot of information that people can turn stress into something they turn into a habit. This article has helped me because it is a way to show me things people turn and not just turn to animals and it has helped me with my survey because I can see which questions I can ask and how many people turn to this kinds of different things other than reducing their stress with animals.

Goldman, David. "For Stressed College Students, a Doggone Good Way to Relax." For Stressed College Students, a Doggone Good Way to Relax. USATODAY.COM, 13 May 2012. Web. 29 Jan. 2015.

This source was unbelieveable, its is interesting that colleges are now turning to therapy dogs to provide to the college students and help them through stress while having major test in college. College students are now having more smiles and less stress because of having a therapy dog and spending time with an animal and forgetting their stress because they have a pet to spend time with. This resource has help me learn that real students with school stress are having positive effects when having an animal with them and having less stress levels and I can work off this source because its actual students have less stress in college which I believe is difficult than high school.

This article has a lot of great information because of the college students have finals, and have to stress and crying because studying is hard and getting nervous, but a study shows that most college students spend time with a therapy dog has shown the students are calm and focus on their own work because they have spend time reducing their stress and relaxing and sometimes students have to stop everything and take a break and spend time with an animals. Students have said animals are a better way to spend time, and communicate because the animal does not talk and it keeps secrets, as of other humans can talk and can't keep secrets. This source is very helpful because many students have shown great decrease on their stress levels and the students have spoken out how it is better to spend time with an animal.

Allison Lamond is the manager of donating to PAWS on 100 N. 2nd Street(at Arch) Philadelphia, PA 19106. Allison and I have talked about donating to PAWS and the material that will be needed at the shelter. My plan was to volunteer at the shelter, unfortunately I am not 18 years old, so that would not be happening. I decided I would give back to the animals and have bake sales to gain money to donate to the animals at PAWS and have better home to the animals.

Why We Broke Up By Daniel Handler

Posted by Wendy Tepoz-Pacio on Friday, October 25, 2013 at 2:14 am

Why We Broke Up

by Daniel Handler

Illustrator: Maira Kalman

Why we broke up was written by Daniel Handler and illustrated by Maria Kalman and Why we broke up is a fictional novel, i choose this book to review because it isn’t like other books i have read, its different because Daniel Handler actually capture the feeling of being in love, the feeling of letting go of the person you had a special feeling for. Having a significant other in your life for a long time and then breaking it off is hard, its hard to take emotionally but their is always a reason why it happens, sometimes your just no happy but because you break it off doesn’t mean it isn’t hard for you as well, it will be but it wont be as hard as it is to the other person. Having things that remind you of the other person may be hard to let go but while time goes by your start to realize its fine to let that person go, and the stuff that came with the other person, the memories that were left. Then you start to think of that person and the memories and how love can blind you, how love made you do things that you wouldn’t do if you weren’t in love. Daniel capture the look of the couples, what couples do, what happens when you do things. Maria and Daniel

Daniel Handler wrote this book and Maria Kalman illustrated the book, how this book started was Maria wanted to paint objects and Daniel could just imagine a romance novel, but he had to capture the prospective of a teenager girl, Daniel would take public transportation every day and he would over her young people conversations about love and their emotions, and he would capture that in this novel. This novel is an amazing book for all ages but the author wrote it for teenagers because the characters were teenagers and they were going threw that high school love that everyone goes threw. Also Daniel Handler has a pen name, its Lemony Snicket. Daniel Handler has written 13 books, he has a different kind of writing, he is careful of how he writes. Daniel Handler has known the feeling of being in a break up because like everyone else Daniel Handler has also been in a heart broken situation, he has a least been dumped three times in his high school years.

This book is a very good book, i would recommend this book to teenagers because the character in the book are teenagers and teenagers would actually relate to the break up of teens, as we would call it high school love but others would relate to this book as well. Reading this book while your in love and relating to their love it would actually make you smile while reading this book. Also Daniel has capture the feeling but also capture the image of love, how everyone does. This book is very interesting, very good to read. Different thing that have different memories, that have different reasons why they broke up.

Voces Inocentes En Silencio

Posted by Wendy Tepoz-Pacio in Spanish 4 - Manuel on Thursday, June 6, 2013 at 10:27 am

El proposito de mi projecto es mostrar que los soldado violaron los derechos humanos. Voces Inocentes es una pelicula en Salvador y hay una guerra grande y a los 12 anos los soldados lleban a los ninos para sir soldados tambien pero los ninos no quieren ir, entonces se esconden arriba de su casa. todos estaban alli ahoras hasta ellos estaban seguros. Yo voy a ser los derechos humanos de tortura, derechos a educacion y los derechos humanos de todos los seres humanos tiene derechos a igual proteccion.

En Salvador había una guerra grande y los padres para guardar a sus niños seguros y sobrevivir, Chava y los otros niños se subian arriba te la casa para esconderse encima de las casas para quedarse de los soldados.Tiene que cuidarse por que cuando cumplien 12 los soldados los lleban y los torturan para sir soldados. El tio de chava trata de ayudar los pero no puede mucho. Y chava y sus amigos se encuentran en un problem y los amiogos de Chava los soldados los matan. Tienen que ver la pelicula es muy buena.

El video que vas a ver es un video que los soldados estan violando los derechos humanos por que son personas mas grandes y mas poderoso no tiene que matar los ninos, es tortura por las mamas por que son sus hijos y tambien para los ninos por que los soldados lo madaron en la cabesa, ningun ninos debe ir por eso

En este video vas a ver que los soldados violaron el derecho de educacion por que los ninos que los estan llebando ellos quieren aprender y no ser soldados. Eso es violando el derechos humano por no dejar los ninos a ser ninos y estudiar, y no llebarlos a ser soldados para matar gente.

El video que vas a ver es un video que los soldados violaron el derechos huamanos de todos los seres humanos tienen derechos a igual proteccion, los personas no estan protegetos por que los soldados quemaron las casas de las gentes. Eso es muy mal por que son las personas casas y ellos tienen que vivir a y.

Cuando estaba videndo esta pelicula “Voces Inocentes” muchos sentimientos corrion por mi cabesa por que era triste viendo eso mucho los soldados llebaban a los hijos y las mamas llorando por sus hijos y tambien cuando los soldados quemaron las casas y matando a gente es muy triste viendo todo eso, yo aprende mucho videndo esta pelicula como unas personas tuvieron que sufrir. La impresion de la pelicula era muy bien. Me encanta esta pelicula, por que se ve tan real que es tan excelente. En mensaje de la pelicula, pues no creo que tiene uno por que yo creo que mas quiere dicernos que hay muchas personas en este mundo que pueden aser muchas cosas y sin sientimiento. El projecto es bueno como lo tenemos que aser por que mostra que aprendimos de los derechos humanos y yo aprende mucho de los derechos humanos.

Journal #1 :

IAGO

(to himself) I’ve rubbed this young pimple until he’s ready to pop, and now he’s angry. Whether he kills Cassio, or Cassio kills him, or they kill each other, it all works in my favor. If Roderigo survives, though, he’ll ask me for all the gold and jewelry that I stole from him and said I gave to Desdemona. I can’t let that happen. If Cassio survives,he’s so handsome and well-spoken that he makes me look ugly. And besides, the Moor might tell him about my lies about him.—That would be very dangerous for me. No, he’s got to die. Let it be so. I hear him coming.

Iago talks to reader/ audience in the writing. He changes the people who he interacts with. He first talks to the characters in the story, and its like he lies to the character, and he tells us the truth; the thoughts he is thinking in his head. In this paragraph, he talks to himself talking about the plan that will happen in the play. Iago in the first paragraph he tellls Rodrigo to stand and stab Cassio. When he starts to hide, he talks to himself and tells himself that if the plan goes well, Cassio and Rodrigo would kill each other, and it will be less work for Iago. The mood changes through this scene because Iago first is motivated to tell Rodrigo things that will get him mad, so he can kill Cassio. When he starts talking to himself, he becomes more evil, thinking the plan will work.

Journal #2

Act 3 Sc 3 Line 335

EMILIA

Oh, is that all? What will you give me now

For the same handkerchief?

IAGO

What handkerchief?

EMILIA

What handkerchief?

Why, that the Moor first gave to Desdemona,

That which so often you did bid me steal.

IAGO

Hast stolen it from her?

EMILIA

No, but she let it drop by negligence

And, to th' advantage, I being here, took ’t up.

Look, here it is.

Emilia knows her husband wants the handkerchief, so she sees it fall and thinks she will give it to her husband because he called her stupid. She only told him about the handkerchief to torture him.She had the handkerchief but she did not steal it. She took it because Desdemona dropped it. She changes through the story because first she is very nice to her friend but then she trades on her by not giving the handkerchief back. She gives it to her husband.

Journal #3

Bianca came in to a play, she had a bad experience with men and she got cheated on many times. It happen to her a lot and when she got in to the relationship with Cassio, he gave her the handkerchief. She knew it was from someone else. She doesn't trust men so much because of her past with them men have cheated on her lied to her, or used her as a toy. She felt insecure about herself. She tried to protect her self by hiding her jealousy and making it into madness and assume she isn’t the only women in a man’s life. As she says it the play, give it to your “whore” because in the past it happened before to her. She doesn't want it to happen to her again. There fore ,she was trying to stand up for herself.

Journal #4 :

What i am bring to my performance , is in my tone of voice anger, because I am supposed to be angry at Cassio. I am bringing a handkerchief to the class because Cassio gives Bianca a handkerchief. She gets very upset to hear that the handkerchief is something he just found in his room. She got very angry with his actions. Bianca gives the handkerchief back to Cassio because she thinks a whore left it there. I think this scene is powerful because there is a lot of emotion when with Bianca being angry, and Iago being sneaky with his plan that he wants Othello that the Desdemona is cheating on him with Cassio. What my group and i have agreed on is that when Bianca says her line, she is going to run off stage and Cassio going to run after her, we have to have a loud voice, and a lot of passion with our lines.

Journal #5 :

"What do you mean by the same handkerchief you gave me even now, a likely piece of work that you should find in your chamber and not know who left it there" The reason i think this line is important is because it completes the whole quote what she says because it describes why she is mad, why the plan that Iago has is going to work, and when Bianca came in it was just a coincidence. With the lines she says with the plan because if it wasn't for her, Othello wouldn't believed as much has he did. Bianca was clear why she was angry, those were the most important lines, threw all. Also i showed importance in my part is because when i did the hand movements and when i threw the handkerchief at Cassio, and my hand movements. I deliver my lines by an anger tone of voice, and the hand movements. My group performance did go as i expected and planned but when i ran out i got my hand stuck on the door which messed me up. I was mad because I got my hand stuck and I broke character. Also it did go as I planned, because everyone were in their places, and good actors. Now that the play is over, I am proud of that I remembered my lines, and I would have done differently by putting more anger in my lines, because i don't think I did good with that, I am not a very good actor, I was nervous, and I really don't like to talk in front of people, I am very shy, so I think I would do differently by speaking more louder. By preforming the play, it painted a picture in my head more clear and it made it more understandable. Reading the play was kinda hard to understand but when we all acted it out, it became more clear what i was reading. it was creative how we all acted out.

Pedro Machuca - "Dark & Surreal - Martin Diego"

Posted by Wendy Tepoz-Pacio in Spanish 4 - Manuel on Monday, April 22, 2013 at 11:24 am

Yo soy Pedro Machuca. Yo soy pobre. Tenia amistads. Mis valores son cuidar mi familia, mis experiencias del arte, pues no tengo mucho: puedo pintar, cuando encuentre papel y algo para pintar porque soy pobre. Las realidades de mi epoca son que cuando los militares vienen y los llevan a los grades ninos y los papas para ser parte de ellos es espantoso por que matan a las personas se no se quieren ir con ellos. Tambien y ve a mi prima que la madaron por que no quiere dejar a su papa, era tan triste, pero los militars no los importo. Y mas que lloraba mi prima los militars no se rindiean.

En la obra que yo estoy mirando es una mujer, que esta gritando como si estaba loca, tambien tiene como su pelo de la cola de un gusano, que feo en me opinion por que pello asi no es atractivo. Tambien se ve como que esta en una parte oscuro y la luz se esta sercando a ella y ella no le gusta la luz y por eso esta gritando. Los colores que estoy viendo son como oscuro cafe en el fondo y en el derech hay un poco en el lado, es un poco amarillo con cafe, y la mujer es color como negro. El tono de la obra que estoy viendo es como oscuro, como espantando, no esta feliz esta mujer.

En el ano 1973 ese dia era un dia muy feo,yo lo lamo “La Guerra”, todos gritaban, todos estan llorando, y mi primia gritaba para su papa, ella luchaba por el, por que no quiere que los millitar persons llevarn a su papa y luego la matan, muy triste, y es ridiculo, y era una cosa que no tenia que pasar, por que mas era una nina, pues asi lo veo yo. Tambien los militars cemaron las casas, llebarn los hijos de mis vecinos. Yo ve a las mamas llorando por sus hijos pero no podean aser nada por que los militares eran mas fuerte que las mamas, y ellos tenian armas. La mememoriea que me surge es cuando los militiars fue a mi pueblo, y cemaron todo, todo las casas, y no era bien por que era tan triste por que no teniamos nada nomas, las personas son tan malos, pero no entendo por que los asen por que ellos tambien eran parte de los otros. Los otro militares llebaron las mitlitars que nos estan asiendo esto ahorita y por que no entenden que mas tenemos las casas y nuestro familia, y somos popres, somos de poco recursos, por que no asen esto? simpre me pregunto eso. En la orba cuando lo ves, la primero cosa que ves es la mujer gritando, pues en el derecho de la mujer esta como una luz, y luego en la izquierda se ve que ella estaba en una parte muy oscuro, y luego abrio algo y luego la luz estaba reflejando sobre ella y ella no le gusta la luz y por eso estaba gritando, es como se ella ve la luz se va a morrir. Aunque creo que esta suffriendo. La mensaje de la obra es la mujer que ella quiere estar en un parte oscuro,y cuando la luz biene, grita, no le gusta la luz. Entonces creo que se espanda que personas la vien por que como se ve, y cuando la luz biene ella se puede ver y ella no le gusta como se ve, por eso grita. En mi opinion yo creo que Martin Deigo lo pinto esta obra es por que tal ves el estaba en una parte oscuro y era una parte muy dura en su vida, y estaba triste, y estaba furioso a el mundo y cundo vea afuera gritaba por que en penso que lo paso era la corpa de el mundo. Esta obra tiene una conexion a mi por que cuando las militars bineron y luego mataron las personas, cemaron nuestras casas, llebaron nuestro hermanos y paps, pues yo mi siente que estaba en una parte oscuro y no queria ver el mundo por que era tan terrible, mas quiera gritar. Cunado ve esta obra era como que fea, y espandosa, pero cuando no ve bien, y pense de mi vida, yo pense que las personas donde vivo son ase, cuando todo su familia lo matan y sus casa estan cemadas, creo que ellos y yo tambien estamos en una parte oscuro cuando los militaries bienen y no queremos ver el mundo por que lo culpamos.

Para mi en la obra dice mucho, creo que personas mas ven una mujer gritando, pero cuando yo lo veo, yo lo veo como mi vida, por eso me llamo atencion, por que ahorita mi vida esta en una parte doro, es tan ma que me siente que me quiero suicidar me. Mi vida no es como todos, ahorita estoy en una parte oscuro, cuando veo que es otro dia, la luz me espanda, por que es otra dia de la misma vida que estoy viviendo, Tambien estoy de acuerdo con el pintor por que el estobo muy creativo con el obra.

"Suffering with Love"

Posted by Wendy Tepoz-Pacio in English 2 - Pahomov on Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 9:23 pm

My sister Jessie Tepoz, suffering with love. Crossing boundaries to be with the one she loves. The people she thought she could trust which are her parents are making her suffer and pulling her away from the one she loves.

While doing this interview I learned a lot of things while doing this podcast. I learn that my family is really messed up, that they supposedly want the best for my sister and I. I notice that they only want them selfs to be happy, use it doesnt matter, as long as my parents are happy they think we are happy. Well that is not the case. Falling in love is scary, not because we'll get hurt, it's because they fact that the people we are suppose to trust, won't like our partner and try pulling us apart. As they are doing to my sister.

I learn my sister has so much pain in her. While telling her story she wanted to cry, but she didn't, she kept that smile I see her fake everyday. She tried hard not to cry while telling her story, I know it may not sound like she wanted to cry but that how good she is because she been trying so hard not to cry for past year or so. As my sister I know her well. She likes to hide her feelings from other. She keeps away to avoid me seeing her cry, but sometimes she breaks down and comes to me and cries in my arms. She is in pain, and the people we thought we could trust are making us go threw that pain. I am in a similar situation my self but not as bad as she is. I learn so much threw doing this podcast, I learn how to edit which I never knew. I learned how to understand how my sister is feeling.

The comments with my peers I agree with them. They were positive comments. I think I did good as well. Had a little mistakes around, I fixed them up and my podcast was like I wanted it to be. Doing this podcast taught me a lot. This was my favorite project because it was interesting to know how others cross boundaries, how other people feel.

Todos Somos Los Mismos

Posted by Wendy Tepoz-Pacio in Spanish 4 - Manuel on Monday, March 4, 2013 at 6:03 pm

Me llamo Wendy, soy Mexicana, en el barrio que vivo solo son blancos, cuando emperanzamos a vivir en la casa, los ninos blancos los llamavan a mi y mi familia differentes cosas, malas cosas, y a veces tiraban naranjas a mi puerta y eso para me es vandalismo a mi casa. Los ninos nos tratarnos como si no eramos humanos, nomas por que somo differente color, no significa que no somos humanos. Mi comunidad esta bien es como un chikito pueblo adonde todos los conocemos. Mi mural estara unbicado en 1463 South Water Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Yo elegí este lugar porque es el estacionmeiento de el cine y mucha gente va y pueden ver mi mural.

Para mi el arte es una cosa que es una cosa honesta porque tu no puedes fingir ser un artista, eres artista o no. El arte es algo que puedes expressar tu sentimientos. El graffiti es arte, expressas tu sentimientos, tus pensamientos. Todo significa algo para alguien. Si mi mural es arte, todo es arte para mi, todo es tan bonito como el arte. Mi mural es arte por que tiene different cosas que yo encontre y que lo encontre es arte y para yo ese el arte. El proposito de el arte publico es que la communidad son muy unidos, y asen un mural represenda algo de la cummunidad.

Las imagenes de mi mural y la palabras son muy basico cuando ves mi mural tu vas a ver que estoy trantando de dicer por que yo corte different colors caras y los pues para que se una cara por que todos somos los mismos no importa si somos diferente color, somos personas y y no tenemos el derecho de juzgar a los demás porque somos diferentes de un a otro. en mi mural dice “Todos somos los mismos” por que es la verda, todos si somos los mismos. Las significates de mi mural es de mi pasado por que el mi barrio nos juzgavan a mi familia por que somos Mexicanos. Elegí rojo porque un color brillante que llama la atención de las personas, y tambien por que me gusta rojo. El tema de mi mural es que todos somos los mismos. El mensaje que estoy tratando de decirle a la gente es que debemos respetarnos unos a otros, sin importar el color que somos o cómo nos presentamos a nosotros mismos. No importa todos debemos respetarnos unos a otros.

Si mi papel es publico arte porque tiene una manera de decir lo que sentimos como yo mi siento. Es arte porque dice algo con sólo mirarlo. Mi punto de mi arte mural es decirle a las personas que ya no jusgen, porque en la vida las cosas son diferentes. y somos de color diferente. porque todos somos los mismos dentro, no importa qué, todos somos seres humanos y no debemos tratar a los demás de manera diferente por que cómo nos vemos.

Posted by Wendy Tepoz-Pacio in English 2 - Pahomov on Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 9:52 am

My language affect my past, present and future, Speaking spanish with an accent and speaking spanish differently than other people around you, Its like speaking spanish with a spanish person,and your sounds like another language and then their face looks puzzled . It was an early morning in Mexico, I was visiting my grandparents for the summer, like everyday I always woke up next to my sister, and a spider on her back.

“AHHHH!” i screamed.
“Que pasa ?” My grandma said.
“Una..una..” i said forgetting how to say spider in spanish.
so i point to the spider.
“Una araña ?” she said.
“Mhmm” i say, remembering.
“Aver de araña” she says.
“Araya” with a face of scared i said it wrong.
“Ajaja” she starts to laugh.
“Asi no se dice” she responds.
“Oh...” in a face of disappointment.

Speaking spanish for me is difficult, I spoke so much english growing up and in school that when I go to Mexico, or go home, or even when I am with friend that speak my language and speak spanish it sounds like I have an accent. My family and friends have told me that I sound like an American trying to speak spanish. I couldn’t say some words like other spanish speaking people, I would sound weird saying the words, and when I did speak spanish, I would have someone laughing at me. My spanish speaking friends would expect me to talk spanish all the time like they do because I come from a Mexican family, but I cant speak spanish all the time, because of my accent in spanish. My family would expect me to speak spanish well because when I was little I use to speak spanish all the time and my parents are from Mexico, but growing up I start to speak english more and spanish less, or I would mix my spanish with my english. I started to get gain an accent with my spanish, it would sound like a spanish word mixed with english. I got made fun of with my family, and it was kinda funny, but then again that made me feel not confident with me speaking spanish, so now that I am in spanish class, I don’t like to speak spanish because I am scared to say a word and say it with my accent I have, I just wont speak. I would only say some words I know how to say them clearly, with the accents but sometimes my accent will slip out. This will affect my future because I would be shy to speak my second language because of the accent I have when I speak spanish. As well where I got the nickname “blanca” because my friends say I a “wanna be white” because I wont speak spanish around them because of my spanish accent and afraid to get made fun of because on how I speak spanish.
Most people would think, “oh she is embarrassed of her culture and her language” but thats because they don’t know what is really going on. I am happy being Mexican. I am fine speaking spanish but if only I could speak it with out the accent. It sometimes brings people to hate me, because people think I don’t want to speak spanish and I am embarrassed. I would only speak some sentences that I know my accent won’t come out.
As this quote says “The range (and reign) of accents on that damp little island make England coherent for the English and totally incomprehensible for everyone else. To open your mouth in England is (if I may use black English) to "put your business in the street": You have confessed your parents, your youth, your school, your salary, your self-esteem, and, alas, your future.” the day I opened my mouth and spoke spanish to my grandmother and she saw that I had an accent in my spanish she knew what would happen, as well as my friends when I spoke spanish to them, they called me “blanca” why ? because I would speak spanish with an english accent and everyone knew what would happen, I would be shy to speak my own language and speak it to them, because how I speak my spanish.
My spanish accent started with me hanging with my best friend Alexis, I was with her so much that I started to talk like her, then I started to realized when I spoke spanish I sound different than others, I felt sad because I felt like when I spoke spanish to others, they would just look at me like “what kind of spanish are you speaking” so I just talk to my spanish friends in english. As the statement says, they will tell my future because now I am not confident with myself speaking spanish, and when I am older, I wont be feeling any better about my spanish. What makes me sad about me speaking spanish with an accent is that every time I say a long sentences and my accent would come out, my family, and friends look at me in a strange way, that makes me sad because they look at me different. Sometimes I think, maybe if I speak spanish a lot, they will get use to it, or my spanish will get better after a while, but sometimes I am just not ready to speak spanish fully with other people. When the quote says “sland make England coherent for the English and totally incomprehensible for everyone else. To open your mouth in England is (if I may use black English) to "put your business in the street" It does feel like I am putting my business out there because to me my I don’t speak spanish for a reason outside my house because I feel like if I do I am telling everybody that I can’t speak spanish with out an english accent, well Wendy thats me, plus spanish my language equal oops, why? because I make a lot of mistakes when i speak spanish.

Su Vida - Wendy Tepoz

Mar Adentro

Parafo 1; Introduccion/ Sinopsis

La pelicula Mar Adentro se trata de Ramon y su familia estan suffrendo por que años despues Ramon estába en la playa y el salto de una como montalla pero cuando el salto, salto distraído y se pego abajo de la agua y luego se lastimo y luego de ese diá se quedó tetrapléjico y de este dia el dice que su vida no es digna y se quiere morrir pero sus seres queridos no estan de acurerdo con el por que lo van a extranar y ellos creeren que es un crimen, pero el dice que sus seres queridos le tienen que respetar la decision de el por que ese es su vida. Y por eso que Ramon no cre que su vida es digna, y no se puede mover el se quiere morrir. Y su familia esta suffrendo por que ellos no quieren que el pense asi, por que ellos lo aman y no quieren el que se morra por que el es importante para ellos

Las Preguntas:

¿Que es la vida?
¿por qué tenemos que sufrir?
¿por que la vida y la muerte es un opcion?
¿Que es digin@?

Para la sociedad, estas preguntas abren debates feroces porque :

La pregunta fue ¿que es la vida? muchas personas pueden tener muchos opinión, como ellos ven la vida, con sus ojos. Pues la pregunda dice ¿por qué tenemos que sufrir? la vida, unos puden dicer que la vida no tiene nada que ver por que nosotros sufrimimos, y otros personas pueden dicer la personas asemos sufrir uno al otro. ¿por que la vida y la muerte es un opcion? la pregunta es simple pero con mucho poder por que muchos personas pueden dicer mucho de esta pregunta. ¿Que es digin@?, pues muchos personas usan esa palapra “digna” “digno”, pero pero ¿realmente sabemos lo que significa? o mas simplemente creen que saben lo que significa? mucho que pensar.

Tu Posicion:

Preguntas del parafo 2 Mi perspectiva, mis ideas, mis opinions, mis comentarios
¿Que es la vida?
Bueno, para mí la vida es como algo que tenemos que vivir, es una lección de la vida, supongo que tu no vives la vida asta que te as muerto. no importa si tu tineste una buena vida, una vida mala. todavía vivista la vida.
¿Por qué tenemos que sufrir?
Pues la vida, creo que todos sufrin, si tienes una vida que es tan perfecta, o tan mal. Creo que todos sufrimos.
¿Por que la vida y la muerte es un opcion?
por que la personal es la vida de el o ella.
¿Que es digin@?
para mi, que eres respetosa a tu misma.

La Pelicula:

Me gusto mucho la pelicula, por que es muy interesante, y tambien me gusto los actors como actúaron y es una película que es una historia verdadera, y la forma en que poner todos los detalles en la película, me hizo sentir como si supiera lo que cada actor se sentía en ese momento y me gusta eso. La película es triste, pero no lloré, porque me gusta cómo Ramón actuo como si todo estaba bien con el morir. Ramón hacía parecer como si todo estaba bien, que estaba bien para él murir y su familia no debe llorar porque esto era parte de la vida. También me gusta la forma en que estaba hablando de la vida al final, cuando estaba a punto de morir. La película fue increíble, me ha gustado mucho. Por lo tanto, hay que respetar la decisión de la personas.

Para mi la pelicula de Alejandro Amenabar es un pelicula que si estoy de acuerdo, por que tenemos que respetar Alejandro decisións, y tambien a otras personas decisions. La historia dijo tanto. Mi gusto mucho cuando Ramon estaba hablando al final y estaba diciendo sobre su la vida que el vivio como yo lo entiendo que estaba dicendo que no esta de acuerdo que es un crimen que alguien quitando la vida te alguien que quiere por su propia voluntad. Estoy de acuerdo, sería mejor que morí , que ser tetrapléjico porque sería inutil, aunque mi familia me van a extranar, pero yo no quiero que ellos me digan que soy útil, cuando yo se que no soy. Seria muy deprimente no mover mi cuerpo.

¿Qué harías tú si estuvieras en esta situación?¿Cómo te sentirías?

- Yo Le diría a mi mejor amigo, que su novia estava besando a otro chico y no era el. Yo le sacaria photos pa que mi mejor amigo vea. y yo me sentiría enojada con ella.

¿Le dirías algo a su novia?

- No, no se lo diría. Sólo lo digo a mi mejor amigo y le dego que el le dega a ella.

¿Qué le dirías a Pedro?

Yo le digo "tu eres mi mejor amigo y te quiero, y sé que tu amas a tu novia, pero ella de está engañando con otro, y si no me crees tengo fotos"

¿Tratarías de ayudar?

yo ya le ayudó diciéndole, lo que su novia le está haciendo.

¿Qué le recomendarías a Pedro?

- Yo le decía a romper con ella.

Yo, en su lugar, … (If I were in his place…)

Si yo estuviera en su lugar que sería triste.

Si viera a la novia de mi mejor amigo besando a su primo, ...

Yo sólo pensaría eww.

Gatos Y Mas Gatos

Posted by Wendy Tepoz-Pacio in Spanish 4 - Manuel on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 7:41 pm

Yo quería un gato pero eso no fue suficiente

Entonces yo quería otro gato

si tuviera mucho dinero, yo le daría el SPCA

Moriría por todos los animales

Me encantaría tener todos los gatos

si un animal está herido, yo lo tomaría

Me encantaría ver a todos los animales felices

yo podría llorar por los animales que estan lastimados

Me encantaría todos y cada uno de los gatos si no eran amados

me gustaría ser un superhéroe para i puede salvar a todos los animales del peligro

The day

Posted by Wendy Tepoz-Pacio in English 2 - Pahomov on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 9:27 am

The day

Dear diary,

Today is April 17,2008, my name is Athena in case I forget my name when I get oder and read my diary, I just turned 12 a few days ago. I was expecting my dad to call me on my birthday, but another year and I didn’t get a call from him again. I called him right before I started to write this diary, he didn’t answer once again, he ignored my call. I always tell my self maybe he is busy working, or is sleeping, I just make things up in my head and try to believe them because it hurts knowing the truth that he is actually ignoring my calls. I can memorize the operating lady that says “I’m sorry but the person that you are trying to reach is not available at this moment please leave a message after the beat” I don’t leave messages no more to my dad because he never receives them he says, I don’t think he knows I’m 12 years old or when is my birthday, because i think he still thinks that I’m that 8 year old girl that use to call him everyday and leave a message to him and then he use to call me back once in two weeks, I always asked him about the message I left him, he says he never gets them, but now I know he does. He lies to me. I always seen my friends in school with their dads playing on the swings, and their dads pushing them. Yesterday I sat on the swings while waiting for my mom to pick me up from school and I sat on the swings imagining him pushing me on the swings. I always wished and still wishing to have my dad to play with me. He comes to visit me, not often as I thought he was. The day he comes to visit me; puts a smile on my face, but then I realize while I’m getting older, that the love I had for my dad, slowly is turning into anger. My dad has a son he is 2 years old, and when I use to go over his house I use to watch him play with his son, I’ll admit it I do get jealous, when i see him playing with his son, I always wonder why he never played like that with me. My mom, I love my mother, she has always been there for me, she tried talking to my dad on how I feel, but my dad doesn't seem interested in it. I act different around him when he comes to visit me now, I still smile but then I think of the times he didn’t answer the phone when I was little, or when he just comes to visit me to give me some money, or take me out to eat or buy me things. Maybe he feels like he can buy me things and everything will be okay, but its not like that. I have feelings, I hope he knows that. I’m not the little girl that use to believe everything he use to say, the lies he said to me. I’m 12 and I have grown, and my mind is understanding a lot of things now. Sometimes I wish my dad would understand the feelings I have, but there is only one problem, if only he would actually sit down and listen to me. Sometimes I feel like no one loves me, no one understands me. I try talking to my mom but she has enough things to worry about. I’m young why am I dealing with this kind of problems at 12 ? I’m suppose to be worrying if my hair is perfect, my nails are painted pretty, but no I don’t have that in mind. I have my dad in mind. Why doesn’t he answer the phone. Im going to try again and call him. (Picks up the phone and dials her dads number and starts to call, Ring Ring Ring). He didn’t answer, I’m not surprised no more. I’m getting use to my dad not answering my phone calls. What upset me the most that he didn’t call me to wish me a happy birthday. I sometimes don’t want to hear from him again, but he is my dad. My mom says, to just give him time, that he is busy working. I gave him enough time, since I was 6 years old and now I’m 12 years old and he still doing the same thing, not picking up the phone. Lying to me. Making excuses up why he couldn’t call me for my birthday. I don’t know if he knows it but I’m getting tired of all his lies, his excuses, soon I’m going to grow older and not think about him, well he could cross my mind, but I’m going to be strong and just ignore him. I’m tired of all this. I should start doing my homework, i had enough of talking about my dad. English, and math homework and my 500 word essay on someone you admire isn’t gonna write it self. If only I had my dad here to write about him. I always wonder if he would be a good person to look up to. I’m never going to find out. I have never felt a love of a father. I wish I did. Sooner or later he is going to come to me and try to talk to me, but as how he did to me was ignore me, then I’ll do the same. I know I will always love my dad, but while the years go on, the anger will be taking over the little love I have for my dad. Well here goes another same old day, with out my dad around. Mom; if you ever find my diary and read this, don’t show this to dad. Its a secret. I love you mom.

Wendy Tepoz

Yo soy fuerte por que muchas cosas pasaron en un poquito tiempo, y aprendí muchas cosas.Aprendí como haser fuerte porque si no soy fuerte muchas cosas te pueden haser sentir como que no eres importante. Me importan mucho las personas que yo les importo mucho, porque si yo no te importo , entonces yo tampoco. Me importa mi familia mucho, ellos son los que pouedo contar cuando los nesecito. Tengo novio, el mi importa mucho, lo amo. Es un buen novio. No quiero nadien más como un novio más que el por que se quedó a mi lado cuando yo lo trataba como si no era nada para mi. El paso muchas cosas conmigo pero en final todavia está a mi lado, y lo amo.

En el futuro quiero ser policia de animales por que yo quiero ser buena y ayudar los animales, por que ellos no pueden hablar, y yo si, y yo quiero hablar por ellos y decier que ellos sienten y que nececitan. Me molesta cuando mi novio se noja con migo por una cosa pequeña, y cuando personas pegan a los animales. Sueño con un dia aser policia de animales, ese es mi gran sueno por que yo encando animales.Tengo miedo de los fantasmas por que yo veo muchos peliculas de fantasmas y veo en Youtube los videos y me gusta espantarme, pero luego no pudo dormier en la noche.

Personas que ven fisicamente es que bien pequeña y también que soy bien tranquila, y soy timida, y tambien me dicen que me veo china pero no soy china soy mexicana, y no me gusta cuando me llaman china, por que no soy. Cuando me llaman pequeña no me importa mucho por que si soy pequeña y cuando me llaman timida, tampoco no me importa por que asi soy yo, pero mas cuando primero me conocen. Primero me importaba que me llamen penqueña por que yo sabia que era pequeña, no lo necsito que otra personas me digan pero ahora no me importa. por que yo se que es todo la verdad. Tambien soy realista, yo digo que estoy pensando. Y a veces no esta bien aser eso pero se mi cale. Pero cuando personas dicen cosas, yo mi puse madura , y ya no me importa que otras dicen de mi.

La gente no puede ver lo que estoy pensando lo que estoy sintendo, yo me gusta esconder mi sientementos porque no quiero que personas me juzgan, yo tengo muchas cosas que tengo adentro de mi, y no quiero decirlos. Otras personas me ven que soy bien timida, pero cuando personás me concosen muy bien me gusta tivirtierme con mi mijor amiga y mi novio, y hermana. Pero a veces me gusta estar solita por que a veces necesito tiempo para yo sola, y pensar cosas que me esta pasando en la vida. A veces quiero hablar con mi novio y contar le que siento por dentro pero a veces no quiero por que, que pasa si no me entiende que quiero decir, si mi juzca. No sé, por eso me gusta esconder lo que siento. Yo sé que a veces es malo pero prefiero esconder mis sientimentos que escuchar personas hablar de mis sientimientos de adentro con otras personas, o que mi juszquen a mi. También las personas no ven que amo a los animales, no hablo tanto de como amo a los animales porque, no quiero que me ven como si era extraña por que cuando amo a los animales. Sin duda que amo los animales, También tengo una imirasion para Ellen DeGeneres, por que ella es inteligente, expresiva,honesta, También me gusta como es bien cariñosa con los animales como yo. Muchas personas no le aprecian a Ellen por que ella le gustan las mujeres, pero yo creo que eso es bien al contrario las personas pueden amar quien ellos quieren sin ser insegura de si misma. Y no tiene que estar estresada si las personas lo van a juzgar. Tambien avece me pongo deprimida por que quiero hablar español como todos mis amigas y novio pero cuando yo ablo me escucho como yo no sé como hablar, y me pongo tímida, por eso no mi gusta hablar español.Me gusta disimular como me siento de una persona, por ejemplo con mi novio no me gusta decirle como mi siento de el por que me pongo huraña, y espantada , me pongo huraña por que no soy muy bien a expresar mis sentimientos, y espantada por que yo no sé que vaya a decir cuando lo digo como mi siento. Tambien cuando mi novio y yo discutimos, es mas por que el es bien celoso, por todo tiene celos, y se pone muy antipático con migo, y a vece me dice cosas malas, y muchas personas piensan que yo soy muy fuerte en las relaciónes pero no, soy bien sensible, pues cuando mi novio me dice cosas malas, yo me pongo disgustada.

Positive & Negative Reflection

Posted by Wendy Tepoz-Pacio in Art - 9 - Hull on Monday, April 23, 2012 at 12:37 pm

What is negative space (explain this concept to a fourth grader that has never heard of it)

- Negative space is a dark space around the image.

Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?

-In my cut out i saw my negative space by looking at the dark spaces.

Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?

- It helps them to see just the pictures and not the dark spaces around.

Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not

-yes because it easier for the drawing to stand out.

Q2 media Fluency Wendy

Posted by Wendy Tepoz-Pacio in Technology - Hull on Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at 6:54 pm

What I did about my slide, is that I wrote a few words about me in my favorite color and also that describes me, I also put a picture of me, to show how I do. I put a Mexican flag on my slide because people think I am Asian but i am not.I put red hair dyed because I love dyeing my hair when I am bored and one of my favorite colors is red. I also put a dog on my slide because I love dogs and every kind of animal and I also have two dogs. I put a piercing on my slide because I have my lip pierced and I think its pretty cool. One of my favorite stores is Hot Topic they have awesome stuff and sometimes have what I like; jeans, shirts (with cool writing on them) , another favorite of mine is Hollister I love that store even if they have high prices but there clothes are nice. I have Hello Kitty because she is awesome and so cute, and I just love it !
