Abuse cycle is basically a cycle of generation to generation abusing their children. For example if I abuse my child and make sure he does what I say, he would probably do the same to his child because of what I did to him. The reason why I think this happens is because when you are being abused by someone it hurts a lot. And you tell yourself that you will not do that to your children because it was so bad. But with out knowing you end up doing the exact same thing to your kids that your parents did to you. The pain you went through was still alive in your body and needed some comfort, but had to be expressed in a way. But you end up not controlling it and doing the same to you kids like Troy did.
I think the way to stop this cycle is to not be like your parent. For example if I was to be abused by my father, and I told my self I will not do the same to my children. The thing I would have to do differently is to be nothing like my father. That would mean move far away, do things that keep you happy and forget about the past. Unlike Troy and Cory where Troy was stuck in the past and kept mentioning what happened in the past with his mistakes and what he could have done. Which brings up another example, Cory was under Troys roof and had to live by his rules. But Cory mentioned he did not even want to go to his fathers funeral because he wants to be nothing like his father, he wanted to say no one time.
Abusing is not a good way to raise your kids, it has been proven in studies also. What Troy did was not acceptable but he did what he wanted to. But still today kids get abused by their parent or guardian which again is not right. The thought that goes to parents and guardians heads is that they were abused when they did something wrong when they were younger, so they think they should apply the same to their kids. But smart people will know not to do that.

(free post) Almost there
I know I have already posted about us being seniors and how we are all going to be happy and sad at the same time. But honestly it is kind of sad how each day gets closer and closer to graduation and us leaving. But I also can not wait until I Graduate and move on to another big part of my life which is college. Seniors may not feel like it is senior year right now but soon when all those activites start and those other things, people will start knowing like wow we are about to graduate.
My goal is to get into a decent community college and play some football. And transfer into a UC and hopefullly continue playing ball. I am not completly sure what I want to major in but maybe in the medical field or engenering field. It will take work to transfer in to a UC. So my two main goals will be school and football. But I will definetly be attending those parties as my break.
But high school is high school no matter how you look at it. There will be good times and bad times. But you will remember the good times, good friends, events, and so on when your looking at your high school year book a couple of years from now.

(response post) Senior year
I am responding to Brenda's post about senior year.
I like Brenda's statement but I would have to completely disagree. The summer of going from junior year to senior year is where it started. I may have not completed my tasks that I was suppose to do but still that was the best summer of my life. Plus I do not even have to worry about college applications because I am going to community college. But I do agree that second semester of this year will be funner because of all the activities such as prom, senior picnic, and especially graduation. I understand Brenda's case that she is very busy will school and college and I bet a lot of people are. But I am saying also have your fun because it is the last year of high school in your life. You do not want to graduate with a lot of doubt's. Because you only get senior year twice. But I do not even know how senior year for college would be like.
"Senior year is supposed to be your best, easiest, and most fun year out of your high school experience. Well, so far I am not feeling it. Maybe it will kick in second semester when college applications are over and grades do not matter as much anymore. "

(free post) All over again
I had a lot of troubles through out high school and one of them were having to much fun and not having enough time for other things. For example last year I did not care about my grades, family and all, all I was doing was having fun with m friends. I told myself I am not going to do that again but somehow I am doing it all over again right now. It is not as bad right now because my classes are easy and I am injured so football is not there either. I have tried many different things to remember things but I keep forgetting. Now I am trying out a new thing by putting all my important things on my calendar, hopefully this works.
Going back to the part where I did not care about any thing last year but having fun. Now that I think about it, it sounds scary. But I have been raised better than that and do not want my brothers to go down the same way. They say you should learn from your mistakes but for my younger brothers and sisters, they have to learn from their mistake and mine so they wont make the same ones I made. So basically I am trying to be that better person too, and now since college is around the corner my bad ass days are over for me. Also think and be smart but still have your fun.

Going for the Look
I agree with this statement and it is completely right about having good looking people in the front of the stores so they can have a good image to their company. For example in the past I have seen stores have good looking girls in the front. I think that it is wrong to do that but in the same time if your trying to make a living you have to do what you got to do.
It is funny how people hire by looks and image than brains and experts. Obviously your going to have a good business with smart people not good looking people. In other hands if your business is having a good visual look then by all means you should hire good looking people for your business.
I remember one time I walked into a shopping center and I was with my brother. I have never been to that store before but as soon as I walked in I started liking the store already. They had that whole Hawaii look with some really good looking girls. And my first thought was these girls can not work here, they must be here for something else. So I can see why people or mostly guys would want to shop at a store like that. In many readings and saying from experts have been saying that this whole process is true. For example, "It is important to create an environment that's enticing to the community, particular with the younger, fashionable market.
The part that really gets to people are that people are judged by their looks. The saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" is a good saying. But people do the complete opposite by judging people on how they look, how they dress, and if there in shape or not. I would understand some jobs or businesses require people to have certain looks or skills. But for a simple job people still discriminate one another. I guess that is how life just is, people doing things like that.
It is not just for the stores that sell clothing. But also for the stores that are trying to sell a certain product, basically stores that are trying to sell products that people would find interesting. For example you go into a GNC or gym, you automatically see male or female's that are in shape and have that look or image for it. But if you go to Mc Donald's there is not a certain look people have. I am neutral to this whole thing, you can look at it both ways. For example if you want to apply to Abercrombie and your a person that is not in shape, ugly, and poor but is very smart and are capable of doing very well, then there not going to hire you. Now that is not fair because there good for the job mentally but not physically. Where they might hire a person that is in shape, beautiful, and rich. But is not the brightest person in the world either, they have more of a chance of getting hired in this case. The other way of this is if you own a business like Abercrombie or are a high employee then you would want to hire good looking people so your business can grow. But some people take it serious when it is just business.
Cohen makes a lot of very good points in his paragraph when he was talking about howthe market works and how they get business. Cohen states that, “It’s really important to create an environment that is enticing to the community,particularly with the younger, fashionable market. A guy wants to hang out in a store where he can see good-looking gals.” So he is saying that the companies only are basically interested in young good looking girls, so there the only ones that fit the picture in the business. When I went to that store and saw good looking girls, I wanted to go back and not for the clothes, so Cohen is completely right when he said guys just want to hang out where the girls are. I am pretty sure there are alot of guys out there who would just like to go there for the girls not the clothes. Cohen alsostates that, “retailers defend the approach to hiring based on image asnecessary and smart, and the industry experts see the point.” So once againthey hire for looks not necessarily on brains and experience. I would much rather have someone who knows what they are doing than someone with no clue of what they are doing, because now that person has to take time out of his day to teach the person what to do instead of hiring someone who knows what to do and spend the rest of the day doing whatever the manager could of done.
I am not saying that just because you pretty or beautiful they will hire you in a second but also they probably want a smart good looking person. But some places do not even do that, they do not care about any of that just if your good looking or not. I would much rather have someone who knows what there doing then someone whos clueless. For example say you have a problem with some items in the store, and you need some help and you ask one of the employees and they do not know anything and gives a hard time. This world is a weired world of judging people on how they look for jobs, but you can always argue it both ways. I guess thats why everyone cares about how they look.

(response) parents
Im responding to Ming's post about parents.
I agree with ming a lot on this statement. I know there are a lot of parents out there who do not let there child leave the house late or come home late. But I also know theres some parents that let there child not come home for days at a time. For example my mom is pretty stict. but if you know how to talk you can find your way out. At one point in my life my mom would not even allow me to hang out with friends. But over the years it has been getting way better. I think for some people, it is about doing chores or work around the house in order to go out. But again for others they have to sneak out because there parents would not let them out. theres just so many thought to this.
Ming also mensioned he likes to walk around at night listening to music. I do not think thats weired. I have done that a couple of times and basically your just zoning out the word and it is just you and your music. It is the feeling where you do what you want, and no one can say anything. I do not think anyone has stopped me and told me what I am listening to but that would be akward if someone does. Many teens say my parents are so this and that. But I guess you never know how they feel until you are the parent looking after your kids.
"I believe lots of parents won't be letting their kids to get home late because of different reasons."

(free post) Events coming up
There are a lot of events coming up in my life that are really important. For example my cousin is getting engaged soon, I am going to a business trip, and so on. My cousin is starting to get to the age where he needs to settle down with someone and have kids and spend the rest of his life with. Hes having a small family get together with his future finance family. I am pretty sure it is going to be a lot fun, I have not seen my cousins cousin in a long time and we will be in L.A.
I am also trying to get into this business thing that I found out with my friend. Its something that takes time to make happen. Theres this meeting thats going to happen in novemeber but its in orgeon. But I told my mom it is in L.A. she would not let me leave the state for a business meeting. But I really want to go because its where I will know about the business and learn everything. Its a good experience. But the problem is its during the last football game of the year. But I know my team will make playoffs, so technically its not going to be our last game. It cost $130 but I think its worth it, plus its a business where you do not make money unless you spend money and are dedicated to the whole situation thing for the business.

(free post) Island Bowl
It all started Thursday night, I went to team dinner with the football team to a teammates house for dinner. After dinner our coach said one of the most re memorable and strong things to us. I was so juiced and ready for the next day which was the island bowl. That whole day I was so mad and ready for the game. But I knew I could not play. That morning I heard that encinal trashed our school and I got even more mad. So it finally came down to the game and I was totally in that game mood. At first I thought that we had the game in our hands because we were doing so much better then them, but we made a few mistakes and it was anyone's game again. But unfortunately we lost 45 -41. That was one of the best games I have seen in my life. But I knew were the better team and a few mistakes killed us, plus the referee calls were unacceptable. They were basically on encinals side, there were so many calls that they called that was there fault and stuff. But the worst part is that encinals coach told his players to try to injury some of our players. That is why a player on there team hit one of our players after the play and some ruff housing started to happen. That cost them thirty yards, and they were 4ht and goal on the thirty yard line. But unfortunately they scored and that was one of the few big mistakes we made. It was a tough lost but I respect some people on that team even though I lost forty dollars too. But hopefully we play them again during playoffs if possible.

(Bi weekly post) Writing prompt #2
I really did not know who I was before high school. When I started high school, I also started to play football. A sport that is sort of new to me, my first year was freshman year. Now that I am a senior and I look back in my life, football had one of the biggest effects on me. It is sad that I can not play football my last year, but it is one of my best personal qualities I got. Not only has football taught me to be smart and strong but to take life to another level.
Another experience that is important to me is high school generally. I have changed so much that I do not even remember what I used to be like. I remember going into high school, being nervous, scared, excited all at once. I had the set of mind of being the normal kid going to school and football. But there was many parts in my life where some people had big impacts in my life. For example life was normal but I started to hangout with my cousins a lot. I started to hangout with them and I looked at how they lived there lives and I listened to the stories they told me when they were my age, I really looked up to my cousins. Most people get their advice or there solutions from there parents. Ever since I started looking up to my cousins I always thought and took actions way differently than I did before. Now I always think outside the box. For example I used to put football, friends, and life in front of school. But now I know always put school in front of everything because I know my future is in school. My cousins were just like me when they were in high school. But they did not make the change or commitment for school, and now they regret it. I do not want to regret anything when I am there age. So I have a chance to be different and put school before fun.
I have a goal that every person in this world wants, and thats to live the american dream. Every body wants the cars, money, big house, etc.who does not want that dream. Many people say that they want to be successfull to have a good life, or for there family but literally who does not. I thinks it is all based on where your classs is. For example if your a low class person you can not expect to achieve the same goals the high class people do. It is all based on which class your under, but you can always change that but thats when the society or comminity comes in. In this world if your born in a low class family and a bad society than your looked as being low when your older. And the same goes for high class familys. They expect that person to make it far.
For me it is different, I came from a low class family but I want to challenge that and make it to the top. And all the people that doughted me or told me that I couldnt do it, to prove them wrong. And it gets me puped up every time someone tells me this because when someone tells me I can not do something, I take it as a chanllenge and make sure I accomlish it.

(response) to zacks weekend
I am responding to Zack's post about his weekend.
This weekend I plan to have heck of fun I want to do as much as I can because I don’t want to be bored.
I agree with zach, I hate it when Im bored during the weekend. It sort of just kills the weekend moment. We go to school five days a week and only two days off. We also have go to school for ten months and were off for two months. I think every weekend should be fun, or just exciting so its the same as school. My weekend is actually hopefully as good or better than zacks. Starting on Friday after school I will be with my team on our way to Encinal. I would be so happy if we win this year. They have been winning for the island bowl for the past four years. Hopefully this year we take the win. After that its basicllay a day but I might hangout with my friends. Saturday I will get up and go get a haircut because senior banquet it saturday night. So basically Ile just let time fly untill the event starts. But the problem is that I do not have the money for senior banquet. I think I will just borrow money from my neighbor and pay them back. Which remionds me I need to get a job as soon as possibe. A lot of people hasd been telling me that they voted for me as best beared. Hopefully I won, but if not I still think its going to be a good night. Then sunday its all about football. The niners better win. But zack likes the raiders, we will see how it goes. Thats my weekend and I totally agree with zack that weekends need to be fun.

(free post) NIners
I've been considering a separate call for writers for a little while
recently and Danny's move to FO makes now as good a time as any to post
this call for writers. Although the NFL Lockout has made story ideas
and conversation-starters a bit harder to come by lately, I think we've
managed to keep folks engaged and enjoying their visits to the site.
In spite of all this, I'm always on the lookout for new voices at the site. None of us on the front page can claim to be the be-all, end-all source of 49ers knowledge and information. While I've been running this site for 4 1/2 years now, this site is filled with people who could provide quality analysis and discussion above and beyond my own contributions. Accordingly, I'd like to try and get more voices involved on the front page.
Niners could really be a good team this year. They have what it takes but some little errors mess them up. For example the coaches call last game against the cowboys was horrible. He said he would rather have a field goal then a first down. I wont even make that mistake. But next week were for sure going to get the win. The raiders actually kind of stepped it up also. But they lost too.
But after the fight at the raider and niner game I dont think there going to be playing each other anymore because of deaths.

(Response) High School
It's crazy how fast these years has been. We came toAHS not knowing
anything about high school and then experienced our high school football
games during Friday nights, finally having off campus
lunch,representing our class during Homecoming, meeting new people,
attending all the school events, and watching the Seniors leave every
year... and finally,this year is our year.-Kristen He
So far its barley been a month of my senior year and I already know that this year is going to defiantly be the best year from the four years. I came to high school not knowing anything, but in the same time really happy for high school to begin.What I did not know is that high school will go by this quick, I mean its kinda sad how your going to go your different path from everyone but its life and we all have to make our lives happen like Kristen said. The only thing I can think of thats sad right now is that I am not playing football for my last year, but I know theres more in life than football. I know this is my last year of high school and I am really going to make something out of it because people never forget there senior year. Even when people have grandchildren they still tell stories of there high school and how there life was.
Kristen also mentioned that she learned a lot this year. I know for a fact I learned so much that I can not even remember how I used to think back freshman year and so. High school is probably the biggest experience everyone gets in there life. I know college is coming up next for us but I still think think the experimenting starts in high school and the next stage for all of us is college.

I came to high school not knowing anything, but in the same time really happy for high school to begin.What I did not know is that high school will go by this quick, I mean its kinda sad how your going to go your different path from everyone but its life and we all have to make our lives happen like Kristen said. The only thing I can think of thats sad right now is that I am not playing football for my last year, but I know theres more in life than football. I know this is my last year of high school and I am really going to make something out of it because people never forget there senior year. Even when people have grandchildren they still tell stories of there high school and how there life was.
Kristen also mentioned that she learned a lot this year. I know for a fact I learned so much that I can not even remember how I used to think back freshman year and so. High school is probably the biggest experience everyone gets in there life. I know college is coming up next for us but I still think think the experimenting starts in high school and the next stage for all of us is college.

[free post] my weekend
This weekend i am going to have heck of fun starting Friday i am going to go after school to workout at the gym on willow and shore line at my friends apartment complex, he has a lot of weights so we just go there and get yolked, his name is can not say, he is not yolked and we are going to make him buff. Then later on Ill go to the football game and support my team, and hopefully have a win this time against the weak ass San Lorenzo team. I can not play because of a severe injury due to my back, but our record right now is 0-2, but I am pretty sure we will have a good reason and make playoffs. Then after the game its pretty much a day. The next day I plan to hangout with my friends and probably study and go swimming and maybe workout. every sunday I watch football and forty- niners better win again. While the raiders better lose. But there last game and every game before that forty niners has been victorious against the Oakland raiders. If the forty niners loose that is going to heck of suck because i am expecting them to kick some ass against the other team, but i do not really care if the raiders win or not ahahah. and after i watch the football games i will just fall asleep then go to school the next god dam day. once i go to school on monday i will get to brag about the forty niners winning!

College Essay
I came from a hard world where I didn't know anything until I experienced it. For example my childhood was not like an ordinary childhood. My dad would never be home, and I wouldn't ever go out, always staying home and studying. My parents would always be overprotective because they would be afraid that something might happen to me. But unfortunately my dad passed away while I was still in elementary school. And that really effected me in school because I was depressed and angry and did not know what to do. Eventually time went by and I stopped thinking about it and then I moved and started focusing on my school work instead of worrying about the past. My life took a big step and I started to know that I was growing up. That was basically the start of the big change in my life. Now one of the biggest things on my mind is to be successful. Not only for my family but for my dream. It took me a while to figure out what I want to be or accomplish when I'm older. But now that I think about it, I want to be a nurse, doctor, or a physical therapist somewhere in that field. Ive seen people destroy their lives in front on me. I seen my past and I want a better future.
A personal quality is that I play football. I started playing when I was a freshman. I play offence and defence of line. I like playing football because it is fun and such a rough and non stopping sport. My cousin got me into playing football by telling me stories of times when he played back in high school. It got me reallly inspired and I tried out for the team. The funny part was I did not know much about football at the time, and when I tried out I knew I was not the best. But as time went by I was one of the best. From my family I was the first to ever play football but now my brother playing his first year. But now that Im a senior I most likey not playing my last year because of a saveer injury. Another quality I have is Im hardworking when Im dedicated to something. For example if I really want something or want to accomplish something I really work to get that. Im a kind of guy that likes challenges, because they test your skills and ability to put yourself into a test. Even though I really like football, my best quality has to be having that momentum of living life with going with the flow. I go with the flow with alot of stuff but some things you just cant. But I guess thats how time goes by quick if you just go with the flow. Thats not always the best thing to do but I guess in a way it can help me out in the future.

Football
Football is my favorite sport/ hobbie. I have been playing since
freshman year. To those that dont know football, its a weired sport.
Some people might think football is stupid because there a bunch of
people hitting each other for one ball. Others might think its the best
sport in the world. Now thats me.
When I tried out for football my freshman year, I didnt know anything about it. But as time passed I became a bettter player. I never knew I would find myself playing football. By the time it came to the second game I was starting on defence and made some good plays. Thats when I knew football is me. Later on in the season I got injured and i missed two weeks. And basically my first year of football was over, but I was really committed. Always showing up to weight room and other football practices during the spring.
Next thing you know, time goes by and I'm a softmore on jv. I started all year again, but this time i missed some games because of my grades. So i was on probation, but once again the year went by and had a 6-4 record jv and freshman year.
But now it was time for my first year as a varsity player as a junior. I missed our first game because of my grades from last year. But i managed to be good by the second game, while it was a competition for my spot. I missed some practices so one of my teamates took my spot. But unfortunatly he got a suvere injury and I was lucky that wasnt me. His injury basically killed the game, everyone was down and scared for him and everything. And as the season went on I got injured. And the season was basically over with a new record of injured players on a team.
Now I am a senior. I missed all of summer football because of a suvere injury that can take two years to heal. But even though I am not playing football right now, Im always with my team supporting them and not going one day without thinking to just play with my injury. Every day I misss it, especially because its my last year.
One thing I have looking for to is that my brother is playing. And I could see hes following my footsteps. But hopefully does better than me. If i cant play at least my brother can. Life goes on.
