Yesenia’s Life
When Yesenia was six years old; she went to elementary school in La Jolla. Yesenia was a happy little girl during her elementary school years. She had a mother that at that time who was thirty-two years old. Her mother was a single mother, who had two kids. Yesenia always thought that the actions of her only daughter have always given her mom, Sonia, a hard time. Jesus, who was her only son, also gave her a lot of headaches. During this time Yesenia's family was small it was just three people. When Yesenia was ten years old, that’s when everything started. She had her first period. When she had her first period, her whole entire world changed. This event changed the way that she started thinking.
When she turned thirteen she had her first boyfriend, who at that time was eighteen. Her and her boyfriend started doing things that never were suppose to happen, (things like sex).When she was thirteen and half, she got pregnant! When her whole family found out she was pregnant, it was shocking for them since she was just thirteen. Yesenia was just a little girl, who got pregnant by her eighteen year old boyfriend. Yesenia thought that her life was going to be much better because she was going to have her baby’s dad supporting her during her whole pregnancy. Not everything was like she thought; it turned out to be the opposite. Her mother would always tell her a saying in Spanish, "no todo esta en color de rosa," which means “everything is not of color pink,” in other words not everything is easy. Her mother was always right.
Three years later Yesenia turns sixteen and her daughter is two years old. At this time, Yesenia is almost finished with high school. One year later, Yesenia finished high school and goes to college. She decides to become a doctor and goes to medical school. After fifteen years of struggle, Yesenia, on December 7, 2025, she becomes a professional doctor with her license. Her daughter is finishing high school. I believe her mother would be proud of Yesenia and all her accomplishments.

My Own Goals for the Future

What did I improve in this semester?
  • Algebra because I'am the kind of person who does not like math and these two months I improved a lot more.

A grade I could improve a lot more for this coming semester.

  • Biology by doing more work for example a independent book.

How am I going to improve for this semester.

  • I'm going to pay more attention and participate more in both classes.

Two important goals for this year for myself.

  • Go to church to listen to the word(preacher) of GOD.

Eboni's goals for these six months.

Tongan Sexual Tradition


Male Circumcision



  • In pre-contact Tonga, newly pubescent males were tefe, or circumcised by cutting one slit in foreskin, on the underside of the penis. Afterwards, the family held a feast for the new "man".

First Menstruation



  • In Tonga, a girl's mennstruation was celebrated by a feast.This practice continued up until the mid-1900s, at which point it fell out of favor.

Sexuality



  • In Tonga, female pre-maritial chasity was the ideal, if not the norm.Theoretically, a girl received suitors at a faikava, or kava-drinking gathering.She presiided over the bowl, made the kava, and handed out the cups.the suitors sat in a circle around the bowl, chatting, bragging, arguing, and showing off for the demure young lady.All was done under the eye elders, thus protecting the maiden from any unseemly advances.



  • There was less tolerance of sexual mistakes on the part of high-born women, who were expected to "demonstrate" their virginity by bleeding heavily on their wedding night.The groom's aunts would display the stained barkcloth(or later ,sheet),after bathing the bride to inspect her for cuts that might have been inflicted to draw blood.It is said that grooms might show their love and concern for non-bleeding brides by cutting themselves and smearing their own blood on the barkcloth or sheet.

  • In common with many other Polynesian societies, ancient Tonga also made room for the male homosexual.These men wore female roles, and had casual sexual liaisons with other men.

  • Commoners adopted the ideal of pre-maritial virginity and the display of bloody bedclothing.Divorce theoretically became formal, and difficult, though this may have only slightly discouraged informal separations and subsequent common-law unions.

Prop 4


I think everyone deserves to live in this world no matter how corrupted it is or the situation. Every parent deserves to know what their children is up to. I'm a parent and I wouldn't want to know that some one who is part of me is about to be killed. The best thing to do is to have that law approved. DON'T KILL A INNOCENT LIFE WHO DESERVES TO LIVE JUT LIKE YOU.
