My names is Gisella Vicencio. I am 18 Years old. Ive been to Italy, Puerto Rico, Mexico, California, Ohio,Indiana, Texas, Minnesota, Tennesse, and Florida. I like to travel especially to places that are out of the country. I hope to find a job that is a traveling job so that I can see the wonders of the world. I am Mexican and Polish. One day I hope to visit Poland since Ive already been to Mexico. I think its imporatant to study world history so that I am aware of the events that lead up to the way the world is today. It is also important because we will be able to learn about different contenents, countrys, island, states, etc. History is one of the most important thing to learn!

Over spring break I went to Italy. It was the most amazing Break. One of the adventures was walking. Walking was our way of transportation most of the time. Every day we walked miles and miles. Some of the greatest places was going to Sarento, the beach was beautiful. My friends and I went into the water. Mr dory joined us and we had a lot of fun. Some other adventures was having "free time" when we had free time we were able to go around by our selves. It was always an adventure to find our way back. This break was awesome I'll never forget it and I look forward to traveling everywhere in the future.... read more

Give a shoutout (AND EXPLAIN WHY) to 2-3 senior Firecats that you think are performing well academically or in class for some other Noble reason. My first shout out is going to Alexandra Villanueva because she has done all of her RIHlAS and it seems like she put good thought into them. Also, during advisory she helps with my homework for history which helps me during class. My second shout out goes to Mariso DeLo becaus edge always has pretty good responses to the RIHLA questions. Also because in class she has good conversation about almost very topic. My third shout out goes to Marshawn because he is known for his history skills he is always doing really good in class. Also his PSA videos are the best. They are long and very creative. ... read more

I believe in dreams. I believe in overcoming struggles. I believe in ambition and focus. I believe in the truth being told because it's the right thing to do, not because you're on the spot. I believe in having that one person who is always there for you no matter what and you returning that favor. I believe in long lasting true love, no matter how old you are. I believe in dreams.

1. Summarize your article This article is talking about why people cry during movies. It was interesting because when it comes to movies I can cry all day because I get so emotional. The article said that people usually cry because they have intentions of seeing a movie to let out certain expressions. 2. How does your current event relate to topics or ideas that we have discussed in world history. Explain fully This relates to what we learn in class because it is saying that people have intentions to do or see something because they want to let out certain emotions and sometimes with certain people. I think it realtes to class because it might explain why people have done things in the past history, they ha ve certain intentions and want to express their ... read more

Slavery has changed in many ways from back in the day. Slavery is not legal anymore. Now it is more frowned upon if it ever shown. Sex slaves are not being treated equally which would mean that is not going with Lincolns movement. he wanted everyone to be equal. They are notequal if they are slaves. The anti-traficing movement is important. The hotline is a great way because it can be annynomus as well as help many others who may call. It was a great idea because it helping everyone who might be scared to talk face to face but they can talk with out that face to face experience.This can help many communitities. I agree with this alot. I dont think anyone should have to be forced to do anything especially with their bodiessince our ... read more

I think schools ban books because they do not want to go against certain sensitive subjects such as racism, religion or any other subject that might be suported by family values or morals. I think it is reasonalble but I think not one book should be banned because it is good to know what else there is to read about. Learning from other countries, people, and difrent values is the best way to learn. I think if we learn about different topics our knowledge will expand and we no longer would just be on demensional to what we were brought up us. One day we will be old enough to chose what to believe what religion to be and what we value. I think they might have pressure because they might want to teach us ... read more
