1. West Virginia University- The reason I chose this school is because it has a really good academic program.  Also for a big name school it’s tuition and fees are pretty low compared to all the other ones. It also has a very nice campus and has many out-of-state students

2. Boston University- This school has 17% of its students that major in journalism and I am kind of intrerested in that. It has more out of state acceptances than in state and about 90% of people who applied for financial aid were accepted. It also has a great campus.

3. Penn state- its close to home and has great academics. It has a great campus as well that I can get used too. 63% were granted financial aid.

The Dream

November 5, 2009 by Jorge Navas

It was a dark rainy night. I couldn’t get to sleep at all. I was tossing and turning for atleast two hours but just could not get to sleep. I never have trouble sleeping at all. I thought of my day and what my day would be like tomorrow. I also felt pretty tired but just couldnt fall asleep! But just when I was feeling like I was going to sleep i felt something hit my head. I jumped up and looked around my dark room. I thought it was probally just nothing so I just went back to sleep. And then I felt something hit my head again! I jumped up and turned the light on in my room. A voice yells at me and tells me that he is your dream. I didn’t understand and asked him to explain himself. He told me the reason why humans dream at night is because of him. He decides what and when you dream. Sometimes he picks random people to go visit and show’s them something special. He decided to show me how he makes people dream. He was able to tell me what my whole entire day was like and that he can tell what I was thinking. So he decided to to give me a dream about that. But it would have to wait because he wanted to show the dreams of other people as well. He took me to different places and i actually thought i was in real life. But we were traveling the dreams of other people. He made up all kinds of dreams. Then he took me to my dream. I then woke up and couldn’t tell if it was real or just a dream.

College

November 2, 2009 by Jorge Navas

The college you chose to go to can be a very hard pick.  There are many different one’s that you can choose to go and all with different prices, and different degrees you can receive.  It can be a difficult decision in deciding where you want to go. Maybe you want to go locally or out of state.  Also you might not have the money for it as well. But there’s still something out there for you.

Although people usually look down on community colleges, it can still be good for some things.  One thing is going there for two years then transferring there to a bigger school for your last two years.  When your young and just out of highschool, a big college can be tough and hard to handle. It’s very affordable and you can earn an associates degree. But if you want to land a career in industry you should go to a trade/technical school. You get hands on training and it’s very short too.

Why I came to St. Mary’s

September 25, 2009 by Jorge Navas

I came to st. mary’s in 8th grade.  The reason was because my mom thought I should go to a catholic high school instead of clifton highschool.  I really didnt care so I said ok.  My mom  found the school st. mary’s from her freind and she really liked it.  So she decided i should go to st. mary’s in 8th grade so i can get use to a private school for high school.  What I love about St. Mary’s is that it is a very small school.

I think school spirit is very important because it’s important to show that you support your school.  Supporting your school makes your school a better place to be and make’s others want to go to your school too. It shows that your a proud school and makes an impression on others.

Yale Student Killed

September 18, 2009 by Jorge Navas

1. This article is about Raymond J. Clark and Annie Le, the woman who was found dead in a basement wall in the yale medical research center.
2. This article is taking place in Yale university.
3. This topic is comparing to other murders in the past.
4.This takes place around september 8, when she went missing and a week later was found dead in a basement wall.
5.I predict that raymond will most likely be found guilty.
6. Since I really couldnt think of something that reminded me of this article i asked my mom and she told me it reminded her about the “preppie murdere” where robert chamber killed an 18 year old in new york and burried her in central park.
7. This article looses my attention when they talk about what raymond clarks friend had to say about him. The reason is because i dont think it matters if he was a nice guy or not because i believe he killed her and what he did was very wrong.
8. If I could pick a particular ending to this, i would pick that Annie Le would be found unharmed, alive and well instead of dead and strangled in a basement wall.
9. I think the most important message of this story is how killing is wrong. I think it also sends out that if you murder someone, your most likely going to get caught.
10. No I do not agree with his decision making at all. The reason is because murdering someone so innocent right before they were going to get married is very, very wrong and cruel. Taking someone’s life is most likely the most wrong thing you could do in this lifetime.
