African proverb #7

Knowledge is like a garden, if it is  not cultivated, it can not be harvested.
I think that the proverb means that knowledge is like a garden and the things in a garden meaning that u got to take care of your garden meaning your mind/your knowledge you have to let it expand  by studying and reading. Its like water to a garden if you water it, eventually it would grow into a beautiful garden.

What it means when it says that it cant be harvested it means that you can not  gather your mind you can expand it but ,you cannot pick your mind and you cannot pick your mind  and serve it. it means  that  in order for your mind to grow/ or expand you have to study and read and work at it.

African proverb #6

A person who knows proverbs can reconcile differences!
I think that the proverb means that the  proverb means that when you know  a lot of proverbs that you would be able to solve many different problems that might happen in the future and that you will be able to solve it before it gets out of hand.

And  i also think that the proverb means that you are a problem solver and that you know how to stop different problems when they happen or that means that  you can also stop them so that they won't happen and just have peace, and ever thing would be cool.   

African proverb #5

A fool speaks, the wise person listen.
I think  the African proverb means  that you are a fool  when you speak when someone is trying to talk and you don't get all the information that you was suppose to get but you was talking to the person talking to you   instead of doing what you are suppose to do.

And   it means that the wise man/or women will listen to what she/he needs to listen to and not mess around. and they do what they have to do and they get the information they need to do what they have to work on or what they got to do.

african proverb 4

I think that it is better to be loved then feared  because when you are feared people would not want to be around you or even look at you. When you are loved you are going to have lots of friends  who like you cause of you and not because they are scared of you. when they are scared of you they are only hanging around with you because they fear you. So it would be better for people to just like for who you are and not just being around you because you told them to hang around you cause there scared of you.


You could use this in your every day life because in real life there are going to be some times when you are going to want someone to be your friend and you might think that they are going to want to be. so you might use fear as another option.  When you do that they are not going to really like you for who your are.

Extra Cash

   If I had an extra 100,000 and I had to give it away I would have to give it to a pet instead  of an person or and orginization.  And the person I  am giving the money to can not spend a dime of it on me at all .  So I would give it to a animal so if i can't spend it or cant get none of it at  all.  I'd give it to a animal it would not be able to spend it unless I go out to the pet store and get it.


I would give it to a animal because  they can not spend it unless I go out and get it for them. and if I give it to a animal it  would be basicly like I am keeping the money because animals and pets do not really want anything at all but food, water, or milk if it is a cat, something to play with to keep them occupied   and not get bored.So that is why I would give it to a pet.

08/09 school year


      I believe that my goals for the school year is to get on the ball and behave myself  and get good grades this year. no i did not accomplish my goals last year. what i did wrong is I  was acting up  and not behaving myself. The benefits of attending New Media Technology  Charter School is that u have to behave and not act up.

    I think  the subject that i was weakest at was math , Because i did not get it at all as well has i should have. My strongest subject last year was Computer Science. and I say that because it got it ,and i under stood it when Mathura Latoya would teach it to us. I think that i could have did better than i did . Last year I did not work up to my full potential  last year and i should have.
