Came From a Long Way

My name is Anthony Fiame; I was born in San Mateo, California. I currently stay in Pittsburg which is located in the Solano District. I grew up in a well-rounded community, a balance between relaxation and violence. My family did their best to support me, and I appreciate them for that, I was really blessed to have them in my life. During my education in school, people believe that I had a disability and place me in special education which was made for kids that were special. I was always interested in video games and Legos or stuff you can build with because of how it works and operates. Other than that, sports were my passion at the time during my education. In high school, I started to develop certain skills for computers like: making a computer from scratch, creating pictures using Adobe Photoshop for flyers, albums and video games covers, and pictures for websites. Now I am a student at a program called Year Up, Inc. and is proud to be part of this promising organization.

East Bay school districts scramble to get students vaccinated ahead of deadline.

This educated article deals with students trying to get ahead of the vaccine deadline. The Antioch district had ninety-eight percent of its student’s total use of the vaccine which is no surprise to me because there are always that few percentage that get left out. Schools from seventh through twelfth grade must have proof that the student has obtained the vaccine which is good and bad because for good, it prevents other students from getting sick and bad because if the student was unknown to it as the student didn’t know about the vaccine or was part of that few percent that couldn’t receive the vaccine on time.

The law indicates that students without the vaccine will be sent home and the school will notify the parents about taking their child to acquire the vaccine shot which is not a great thing but it is a law.  After deadlines are passing, a fair amount of students is unable to go to school which is sad because I would like everyone to have a chance to learn and be successful in life. A lot of health departments within or out of the district have free clinics which I agree with because it saves time for people instead of being far away especially if the deadline was near. This comment was from a lady name Lisa Wilcox ("It's tough right now. Without this, we wouldn't have been able to afford it,") this comment catch my eye and made me feel relive because that person couldn’t afford it, by this health clinic being free of the vaccine, really save her sons education.

Fair Days in School

San Mateo, California where i was born, but quickly move out east bay towards Concord where I live and went to school. The school I went to was name Concord High School. Being at Concord High was fair, reason why because it was balance between good and bad protaining to violence and nice days. So going there was almost anonymous because you never know what type of day it will be. It was almost like guessing a question on a quiz or test, but that's just me.

The atmosphere at Concord High was mostly mellow, laid back kind of school. Fights would break out at times because we had wanna be gangs there. The facilities where under construction at the time so we only had the hallways to walk through during my years there. Teachers were fair at my school, some care for their students, some didn't. I was one of the fortunate students to have teachers that help me throughout high school. Students there was one of the reasons why I went to school. They have an impact on my life in so many different ways and also because of the relationships you build. You part ways after graduating with everyone, you may keep in touch with some, but not all. The community support was good, the school help out a lot of students in many ways to make them successful.

Adapt between Slang and Professionalism

Being able to adapt from slang to being professional is like from being a child to becoming an adult because it takes time, effort, patience, growth, and a learning process. Starting from a baby, mostly parents would always be the influence until you get old enough to be expose to different environments. With new people besides your parents, you become influence and adapt by all these mixture of different languges. Thats when they choose how and what to adapt between slang and professionalism.

I'm thankful for being able to adapt between slang and professionalism. Before, friends had an influence on me and I would be like "fasho" or "What It Do Homie". As around my family, I would do my best to keep proper language to advoid being in trouble. My slang started to fade away when I was in high school. I started speaking out in a formal tone because of the classes I was taking. Now I like using professional langauge more than slang. So I'm happy to know when to use slang and professional speech.
