Today in class 10/27/10

Today in class we continued to watch the african movie. Today was probably the funniest parts of the movie. Especially when the John bul met his mother at the airport after 17 years of being seperated , when they thought eachother was dead. When John's bul's mother saw him she started to sing and singing and making funny tunes. Today was really fun.

Today in class. 10/25/10 (movie)

Today in class we all went over our blogs and talked about summaries and definitions of the words and things we were assigned for homework.Today we also watched how the Africans adapted to America . For instance Panther works hard at the restaurant and enjoys working there. John Bul enrolled at the college Syracuse to prepare for his future. John receives letters from his family that they are alive but his uncles died. John also got out of college to do three jobs to help his family to bring them to America. also today we went over how all the Africans felt about America and what they can do for their family. they also went down to show America about their country.

        The civil war that is going on in Sudan has killed more than 4 million southerners. The government that's in charge of Sudan are killing men , women , and even young children , no matter the age. The men in the government are raping women and girls. Most Southerners ran away to other southern cities like Juba. Some run away even further as Khartoum , Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Egypt, and other neighboring countries. These people weren't able to feed or make money for themselves on their long journey to a different city to get away from Sudan. They built refugee camps when they got to the city they were seeking to try to stay alive as long as they can.

        Today in class we watched how the Africans from Sudan like the United States. We watched how the Africans adapted to the United States. in addition the Africans talked about they eat with their hands to keep the tradition , how they miss their family back at home , and how after they make the money to pay back the government to come to United States , their going to send back money for their family. Also I watched the way the Africans tried new food and learned new things. Also I watched how people looked at them and I thought that was disrespectful. In the movie it was funny though , how the Africans acted compared to everyone else.

part 2

My parents are from this country. My parents have migrated from Baltimore City to Baltimore County. Me and my family lived in Towson.  I was born in Towson Maryland.  My mom and dad then moved to Randallstown to be closer to grandparents on both sides, and then we moved to Owings Mills.  We had lived in two places in Owings Mills because we had to wait for our new house that was being built to be finished in Harford County.  To me it was a long journey to Harford County; when we arrived in Harford County I was still going to a Baltimore County Public School because my parents did not want to pull me out during the middle of the school year. When I was transferred to a Harford County Public School it was different and I really had to adjust to the behavior and actions of the kids in my area and class. As my family and I adjusted we were very well known and had many friends. All my aunts and uncles lived and still live in Baltimore currently. One pair of my aunts and uncles that actually migrated from an area is my uncle Duane and my Aunt Jillian. They migrated to Baltimore with most of my family in 2002 from Arundel County.  My Aunt Jillian is from Jamaica.  Her whole family is from Jamaica, and she still calls and keeps in touch with them.  Only her mother and sister are in the United States.  My grandfather (pop pop Joe) was born and raised in Baltimore and lives there now. His wife, which is my grandmother (Me ma) lived in North Carolina when she was younger. When I talked to her last night she said “the adjustment from living in North Carolina and moving to Baltimore was a major transfer in her life , new school , new home , new people , a new life , basically a new everything!! Hahaaaa” also she said” North Carolina was free and not as cluttered at Baltimore was” My great grandmother Millie who is 87 that I  talked to today said “I can’t quite remember where your great aunt Teresa lived , but if I can jog my memory ; you know I’m getting old Darryn. But from what can I remember she lived in Trinidad. I think that’s in Venezuela. Hahaaa’ I’m still not sure I’m too old to be remembering these things Hun”.  As you can see the majority if not all of my family is in and from Baltimore County, my parents wanted to try and do something different so they moved to Harford County.

part one

            In less than eight years I will be done high school and in college. I would love to make it professional in either basketball or football. This change in my life to play any professional sport wouldn’t allow me to have one steady home in an area. The second thing I would love to do is become a lawyer or something that has to do with owning a business. One place I would love to settle or live in is Miami, Florida. Some pull factors of this place is the beautiful oceans, sun, palm trees, hotels, amusement parks, and resorts. In addition at the age I would be at I would love to party and Miami Florida, from what I heard is one of the most popular places for clubs and party’s. Some push factors for leaving and going to a different state is the dullness of this state and how boring it is. Another push factor is that the crime rate and irresponsible behavior by people in this state is dangerous, which makes me want to leave. Another place I would love to settle or live is Las Vegas, Nevada. If I lived in Las Vegas I would have a nice steady job, but the word going around about Las Vegas is that it is the city of lights. When I’m at the age I will be at I will love to party and I will enjoy examining and looking around Las Vegas. I will enjoy Las Vegas because of the person I am. Some pull factors of Las Vegas are the bright lights, the amazing acts/entertainment, the food, and the so many things to do. Some push factors away from Maryland are that nothing really goes on in Maryland besides the crime, and mostly I would just love to get away from my parents.
