Classes

Well I'm going to talk about my classes since I got nothing else to say for now.
Every morning Monday though Friday, I always wake up at around 7:00 a.m. to get ready for school. Same thing everyday for school, brush my teeth, get dress, eat breakfast, and walk to school or sometimes get a drive from my mom. I hate waking up in the morning because I'm always tired and too lazy to get up, but school is school so i have to.
First period I have is physical education or P.E.. I got used to P.E. in the morning because I had it last year too, so I'm ready for anything that they give us. For me, I like P.E, in the morning because its not hot and sweaty but in the morning just a breeze. We play basketball sometimes and makes teams to play against other students. It's very fun in there when you got friends and the sports are fun to play.
Second period I have Spanish 2. Not so great, a bit boring but a least I'm learning a different language. My teacher is Ms. Kennedy and she is entertaining sometimes. She mostly speak Spanish all the time. It's kind of hard to understand her, but I understand the work she gives us.
Third period is world history for me. I have Ms. Casper as my teacher and when I first heard of her, the first thing that came up to my head was Casper the friendly ghost. She is very nice and she do fun activities in our class. One time we did a class activity pretending we were all trapped in an island and are trying to make rules like a government. We all voted for the rules and the jobs that were assigned to us. Our name for the class was called Narnia and was won by majority votes.
I have algebra 2 for my fourth period. We always do work and notes everyday. My teacher is Ms. Survey and she is easy to talk to. All the homework are pretty easy, but once she passes out the tests for it, I always seem to fail on it. Right now I have a C in there because I took one test this week and I took another one today. I have a feeling that I probably failed on this one too because I didn't get most of the problems. I'm trying very hard to get ready for the next one and retaking my first test.
For fifth period, I have you Mr. Sutherland. It's very fun in that class and I learned new things that are actually interesting. You are one of the coolest teachers I saw so far. I'm having a great time in there and I don't get bored at all in that class. You do new things that other teachers don't mostly do at all. For example you introduce us to this site and we write about mostly anything every week.
Lastly I have chemistry for my last period. The class is pretty small and packs a lot of students in there. The class is pretty noisy but Ms. Malik always control it. She gives out worksheets everyday during and after class too. We take notes mostly everyday, but sometimes do labs. The labs are pretty fun, for example we try to find out what this gooey thing was. We touch and smell it to see what it like. After that, we looked at the periodic table chart to see any similar elements it has in that goo. Its pretty boring in that class, but sometimes its fun in there doing labs.

Pretty much : )

Sup, as you all know I'm Nathan Tieu who goes to Alameda High School and I'm a sophomore. Right now I'm just going to talk about my life and my likes/dislike I guess.
For starters, I was born in Oakland and I lived here all my life with my family. I live with my mom, brother, and sister. My brother is the oldest and he is twenty-four years old, while my middle sister is eighteen years old. My mom well... she's like a mom who mostly stays at home to cook, clean, and take care of us. I am the youngest out of all and I'm fifteen years old. I, of course, the youngest of them all usually get bossed around a lot and have to do stuff for them. We all live together happily and I'm so grateful to have them. We have our ups and downs, but we are always there to cheer each other up and have fun.
I'm Chinese American who speaks English and Cantonese. At home when I'm with my family I talk Cantonese to them, while at school I talk English to all my friends and teachers. I love being Chinese and I'm proud of it because of their culture and history. I have a little bit of Vietnamese in me, but I didn't learn any Vietnamese at all and I'm mostly Chinese. I love the fireworks in Chinese New Years and the delicious food they have. I mostly love everything about Chinese and Vietnamese.
I have a lot of likes and dislikes. I like pandas because of their color like ying and yang. I also like sushi and ice cream because they taste delicious to me. I don't like spicy food though, probably because I can't handle the spiciness. One time when I was nine years old, I ate what I thought was a string bean, but I realized when i bit into it, it was a green pepper. I ran around with my burning mouth to get some water. I drank almost a gallon of water because of that, but it was still burning a bit. Ever since that day i vow to myself that i will never put anything spicy in my mouth ever again.

Statement of Purpose

I been thinking about what topic to write about in my life. There are so many things that I can write about. I could write about my food, pets, friends, or even my trip to Australia. But since this is my first one, why not write about my life in school. This is a great introduction to show you first on who i am, and what i have been doing in school. I picked this because it will be a good way of knowing and getting used to me on my personality. Once I explain all about myself, I can tell you other things about my life and what I do. Talking about school for the start is a great way to begin other things and it connects to other topics like friends or family.
My writing isn't all that great and I always get stuck or have trouble in it. I want to improve it and make me a better writer. I hate it when I get stuck and nothing comes to my head to write about, like now. . . Well I want to improve my vocabulary, also the length of my writing. I will keep on practicing until get better at it whenever i have time. I will try and improve my writing and hopefully become one of the best writers in class.
