I learned a lot during this first semester. Getting good grades this half of the school year was special to me. I loved my cooking class joining the panther cafe when I want to do it. Taking photos in photo class and enjoy how great it was to take great photos. Making things in 3D art with my brother so far. But the best thing was PLA. I loved learning in these classes. I liked how the classes are smaller and you can get more help than other class outside of PLA.  I grew in learning different things seeing new people and having fun.  PLA was great and I hope it would be great next year when we come back.

Chapter 2

This family was anxious about the husband and wandered when he was coming home. Yuki’s mom offer us tea and cake when we were there. The policemen left the house and then I heard the phone ring and answer it. I was told to return and I told them I was leaving. But before I left the house I told them I hope everything will be all right.

Chapter 3

I am Ken the eldest son of my family. My father was taking away and deported to Montana. I have to take my father’s place. I dropped out of college because of this and since my friends dropped out due to this problem I am having.

Chapter 6

I was happy that we got an apartment but only to figure out that it was a horse stall. Ken’s friend Jim helped us out with getting mattress for our stall. While they were cleaning I was visiting the bathrooms. There was no doors for the toilets and no dividers for the shower. Later we went to the mess hall waiting in line for hours. When we got our food we tried to find a table and when we did I felt like I did not want to eat like mother so we gave our food to Ken.

Chapter 7

Hi my names Yuki and I just meet Emi my new best friend/neighbor. Emi is here with her grandfather and grandmother. They came from San Francisco. Ken came over with lumber to tell us what he is doing. Mother and I asked to make things we need. Emi and I went to tour around the camp and found Mr. Toda playing GO with a bald-headed man.

Chapter 9

I am worried that Ken will be leaving me and mother for college. Mother and Mr. Toda said I should let him go and finish college. There were theses rumors that we will be moving to a different state in a couple of months. Around 6:30 pm Ken came in and told his news about the rumor. He decided to stay help me and mother move together just I his friend Jim. I gave Ken my chocolate bar from Mimi to say thank you for staying with us.

Discrimination is everywhere in the world. People discriminate against people with height, weight, color, bald, gender, etc. I am going to research on LGBT discrimination that people are always talking about. Lesbian is an individual who is a women that is sexually and romantically attracted to another women. Less than 4 percent of americans are lesbian. 60% of americans support people who are lesbians and 40% of americans discriminate against lesbian marriage. In 2008, California had 18,000 thousand people with the same sex marriage. Gay is an individual who is a man that is sexually and romantically attracted to another man. Less than 4 percent of americans are gay. 60% of americans support people who are gay and 40% of americans discriminate against gay marriage. In 2008, California had 18,000 thousand people with the same sex marriage. Bisexual is an individual who is sexually and romantically attracted to both men and women. Less than 3 percent of americans are bisexual. There are more than 50 percent of people who support it and less than 50 percent of people don’t support them. Transgender is an individual who identifies as the opposite sex from the sexual genitalia that he/she was born with. There are less than 3 percent of americans that are transgender. There are more than 50 percent of people who support it and less than 50 percent of people don’t support them. There is a program called the Welcoming Project that supports them. According to their website: “All are welcome”(The Welcoming Project).  People believe that people this could be a problem because they will eventually get married and then people we complain about it. The supreme Court rules that states should allow same sex marriage. “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family”(Kennedy). “In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than they once were”(Kennedy).

Many people assume that journalism is a boring and dangerous career. Journalism might be dangerous but it is not boring. In her article, Juliana Ruhfus maintains “I came to London to study and it was there that I fell into music journalism”. She talked about how much work you have to put in it. Also that it was a dangerous job because when you’re a journalist you have to stay alive. Ruhfus had a job that she did not like but it helped her with editorial and production process. Some people have started to try journalism and love it. So if you think that journalism is boring than try it first before you give your opinion. Ruhfus found her dream job and hopefully you guys find your dream job.
