Parent Conference:

    
I feel my son Ryan Souza has expanded his knowledge in the world of media from just using a camera.  He developed new skills with using photo shop and made his regular assignments more personable and modernized.  I was truly proud of him when he received the Student National Award for his Science assignment.  In closing I feel by being in the Mene Mac program Ryan has become a more constructive and confident individual.

 I BELIEVE FINAL DRAFF
“KEEP PUSHING NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS”
BY: Ryan Souza
PERIOD 2
ENGLISH
 
    Keep pushing no matter how hard it gets. In my life, I will need to overcome many obstacles and fears placed in front of me. From there, that could lead me to being successful or lead to failure. The only way for me to become successful, is to overcome the defeats and keep striving for success. When everything settles and the pain and suffering has finished, I will be able to become successful in life. Just "Keep pushing no matter how hard it and gets".
   After 16 years a lot has changed about me and who I am today, the days where I was the cutest baby every till today a big boy. As elementary days came along I was the one to teased at every day because for one I was the biggest in my class, two I wasn't the smartest, and three well there’s not really a three. After 6 years of elementary here came middle school therefore I knew that I wouldn't be the biggest boy there and one of the smarter ones. So middle school was pretty freighting with a lot of different people there and bigger boys than me, it was just a whole different chapter of my life that I had to push through and get over it. I was thinking "ahh these years in middle school is going to be a breeze" then grades came out and it wasn't looking good almost not even passing, so from there I started realizing that I really need to buckle down and get my act together. I tried and tried to go in for help and get help from my teachers by going for help during lunch, recess, and after school hours but it all seemed that none of that helped. Then I then found out a way to get my grades up was to stop hanging out with my friends and go home and do my homework instead, then that helped me a lot and brought my grades up so that I can pass middle school. Then came high school just by saying those words made me scared “HIGH SCHOOL!”, so as I made my way through the first day of high school I was shocked, but as the year passed everything turned out fine.
     When I was young I was active into many sports I played baseball, basketball, volleyball, football, and judo. Those sports was a big part of my life and sometime I would have to go back to back practices because judo was always at night and that’s where, “keep pushing no matter how hard it gets” fits in because even though I would be tired and lazy I would always have to keep pushing myself to practice. In my life playing sports especially baseball was a big factor in my life because it was passed down from my great grandpa playing baseball, till my grandpa playing/ coaching baseball, my dad playing baseball, and now me. But there was only one problem from me being to my best ability was because I was a big boy and it made everything harder for me like to run, to bend down, to swing the bat, and even just to keep the paste of running with my team. But at the end every practice every game I had to “keep pushing no matter how hard it gets”.
    Every morning at 7:00 I will wake up and take a jog, I was still a big boy nothing loose and only some muscle gained. It was my first year of high school I went in the school wearing a double x shirt and still big. But then came along baseball a program where you had to train hard this is where everything counted and the chance for me to get skinnier and more buff. So this was my chance I started going gym lifting and lifting then run a mile because for me to make this jv team I needed to make a mile and keep it under 8 minutes. As the tryouts came along I lost 15lbs and I made the baseball team. Now judo was a different story I was going into judo as a brand new beginner and I lost so much technique because I never kept up with it.  I went back to back practices, going to two judo clubs, and then going home and lifting. Then that’s what changed me once I kept that paste going I just had the drive I was losing weight like a little kid eating candy. By then end of the season I dropped to wearing a xl shirt and felt good. I gained a lot more muscles and then season starts I ended my regular season with 10-2, I placed 7th in oias and went to states and placed 7th no so bad for my first year but all I had to do to get this far was to “keep pushing no matter how had it gets.
      In conclusion, “keep pushing no matter how hard it gets” would be the best saying that describes me and how I live my life. In the beginning I was the biggest boy and no one to talk to and I didn’t do nothing about it but just keep eating food and get bigger. Then I ended up losing 25lbs this year in judo and baseball and got more muscular and still having that dive to lose more and more weight, and lift heavier. Therefore I though no matter how hard it is for me to lose this weight and get muscle, I will keep on pushing and strive for my goals because I never want to give up on something that I haven’t finish and no matter what obstacles I will have to take no matter what work outs I will have to do, I WILL “KEEP PUSHING NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS”!

But at the end every practice every game I had to “keep pushing no matter how hard it gets”.

    My first year in high school, like I said before high school was scary for me at first sight. Then everything was settled and it felt good to be older and go more into the real world. Well when I went to Moanalua I was only looking to play one sport and that was to play baseball and follow my papa’s footsteps. But then came along some hard obstacles for me to play I had to keep my grades up to at least a 2.0. Keeping my grades at that level was pretty hard for me because I was put on AP my freshman year because my grades couldn’t make the 2.0 standard. But the came another problem in front of me was to make my mile 4 laps around the track less than 8 minutes. When I heard that for the first time my jaw just dropped, as we made our way to the beautiful field I just stepped on home plate and just looking out towards the field I look at left field (308ft), center field(385ft), and right(257ft) and just say to myself I will take one over these fences. As the week of tryouts just fly’s by I am prepared because I will “keep pushing no matter how hard it gets”. Even though my grades where no well and AP was a big factor for me to play I had to search for help and turn in grade checks every week to play our season games. In the end I just pushed through and was able to start at first base, and be 5th batter.

     As my sophomore year comes to an end a lot of things has changed for me I would go and play baseball but after baseball I would go lift and just max out in every workout. Then it hit me again my grades weren’t looking so bright, so many projects caught up with me. So as baseball season came around it went well I played, wasn’t on AP, and my grades where above the 2.0 standers. Then all of a sudden an obstacle just dropped right in front of me and it was to play varsity baseball, or judo which I both had experience in. Therefore I ended up taking a chance and do judo and it made me work hard and push and push and push until I got my first shot at states and it went well I did my best and came out successful.

      In conclusion, “keep pushing no matter how hard it gets” would be the best saying that describes me and how I live my life. In the beginning I was the biggest boy and no one to talk to and I didn’t do nothing about it but just keep eating food and get bigger. Therefore I though no matter how hard it is for me to lose this weight and get muscle, I will keep on pushing and strive for my goals because I never want to give up on something that I haven’t finish and no matter what obstacles I will have to take no matter what works outs I will have to do, I WILL “KEEP PUSHING NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS”!

My group and i are trying to make a difference in changing how teachers teach classes and we think that to get to learn the subject or topic better that teachers should include more hands on activities so that way people can have fun in doing what the learn and it may be a easier way to memorize the subject.
