Scholarship Opportunity To SJHA Drama Bulldogs

Scholarship opportunity,
Well I am proud to say that this year I was blown away by the drama performance that I would like to give away one 200 dollar scholarship to one special person. Grades don't matter, but one thing that does matter is how well you interact with the school and your references that will be called upon. I want to know, what brings you to the stage? What is your goals for doing this so? So, the person that woahs me the most will be given an 200 dollar prepaid visa card to use on whatever they chose to use it on. Whither it be for fun or for college savings. All I want to see is students becoming more active within SJHA and showing some bulldog spirit...... Unfortunately, this is an SJHA Scholarship only meant for bulldogs. Freshmen, great opportunity to earn some money and Seniors, start thinking about college.
A second prize will be awarded as well of 50 dollars of any store of that persons choice.....

Like I said before, grades don't matter but they will play an important part in this competition.

REQUIREMENTS:
-2.0 overall GPA of 1st semester and last 3/4 of second semester.
-Interactive within the school and drama department.
-1 to 2 page essay about your experiences in drama and school that made you who you are.
-3 references (Name, Job Title, Relation)
-phone
or
-email


So all I could say now is, good luck to you Bulldogs and keep up the hard work.
(Grammar and spelling doesn't matter as long as it is readable)

Always,
Tony L. Pereira

"The December Project"

I was impressed by the first few seconds when it nearly just started. The excitement and the thrills that just came to me by seeing these students perform on stage was outstanding. I was impressed and always on the hold of my seat waiting for something new to always come around the corner and surprise me and guess what? It came to me; came to me like light shinning onto a new day where all I could feel was awe the whole time. This is by far my favorite performance that I have gone watched that Mr. Calkins has produced. And all the actors and singers and musicians BRAVO is all I could say, BRAVO........ And to the drama department and all students at SJHA, keep up the bulldog pride. The best thing about going to SJHA is that you could be anything you set yourself to be. You could be a slacker that thinks your the coolest person on campus, or you could be the one that enjoys the whole school meets new people, gathers a lot of new skills, and succeed while still being outgoing and active with your school and community.
I still regret the things I was too scared to try back when I was in high school because if I only had tried, just even once, then maybe I would be more satisfied with my choices in my life. So this is what I got to say to all the people that where a part in the play, "Never stop" by that I mean never stop what your heart wants you to do because what you decide to do everyday is only going to effect the next. Honestly for 5 dollars, the money wasn't an issue, but being in there was something that I like to call, "Magnificent."
Keep up the hard work and I'm proud to be able to watch your work live and be thrilled by it.
The future has many opportunities still to come and by that I mean that things are going to still get better I could see that happening.
More info about the scholarship opportunity will be mentioned latter on.
But all I could say is, "Thank You Bulldogs"

Always,
Tony L. Pereira

How Much I Yet Have To Learn

I got not enough time to complete my life having to worry one day after another about wether or not my dad might loss the home I celebrated my communion and my birthday parties till I was 8 years old. Well, on my birthday he's supposed to loose the house on my birthday. Well, isn't that the best thing that could of happened. I see him struggle and struggle living each paycheck by paycheck and keep on telling myself I want to help but really there is nothing I could do. My mother I blame since she receives almost 50% of my dads paycheck towards her pathetic spousal support. I get no child support, yet my dad has not a single dime to his name and my mother, owns hundreds of thousands of dollars and could always sleep at night knowing that, neither of her children will ever go to college because we don't have the funding ourselves and knowing that nobody is willing to help with finical aide to actually go to college. I want to be a teacher so bad so that I could help someone one day see their true potential. I had to watch my dad cry today as he talks about how when he dies, he won't have nothing to give his kids and that he feels that his job as a father is a failure. I see him as someone that is getting hurt and not a failure. The failure I see is the people like my mother staying at home collecting unemployment and spousal support while everyone else has to work they're asses off to make sure she gets that money each month with the money she already has. I'm not going to college because I wanted to use my inheritance from my desist  grandmother to go to college but my mother and godmother refuse for me to get anything or any help to go to college. I'm actually looking for a new job that way when next year comes I might have enough saved to go to college. Honestly, people go through worst in this world but for me, I'm unfamiliar with any of this and it makes me feel lost and confused. I honestly don't know what to say or do in order to make things any better. I'm going to have to say goodbye to my whole entire past and all the memories that happened in that house to have to pass it again soon and know that I won't be welcomed in it anymore because it belongs to someone else. And also now I have to find a good home for my parakeets since I can't keep them here with me at my grandparents house because my grandpa is allergic to them and i've had them for such a long time and it hurts to have to give so much away. If anyone knows how to help me deal with this just go ahead and shot out some ideas. Oh also, when I turn 18, on October 3rd my mother is going to court to try to get even more from my dad. Honestly, do you think it is wrong to disown your own mother for causing a lot of this? Cause when I turn 18, I'm going to take legal action and take her to court to get my money so then I could go to college. Well, I ought to go to bed since I got work tomorrow morning at 10 am so I'll be back tomorrow. Goodnight or good morning  or good afternoon everybody.

SJHA STUDENTS

Well, just to start off with, I would like to congratulate the class of 2010 for finally becoming seniors. It's so wired being a senior as many things are rushing through your head as though high schools almost over. Well, honestly to say, it is almost over unless you make something out of it. So a word of advice, if there has been anything you been dying to do during your 4 years at SJHA and never tried, DO IT!!!! While you still have time there. I am coming down August 17, 2oo9 to come visit and drop off some things. Firstly, Mr. Calkins, if you're reading this, I'm sorry I never sent you those pictures but I am going to upload them still and print you the photos and stop by on the first day of school to give it to you. Also, NOTE TO ALL UPPERCLASSMEN, don't treat the freshmen's like there worthless little puny kids. Help them out and show them how much fun it is to be at SJHA because you know what, "ONCE A BULLDOG, ALWAYS A BULLDOG" and honestly, I could have treated all you other upperclassmen's like "freshmeat" like I was treated, but I don't see the point in that, it's only going to tear them down and then school wont be as much fun to them. COMMON bulldogs, we know we got the best school in San Jose so lets prove that our students are the best as well. Also a wired but interesting fact to know,  I'm going to college to become a math teacher so in approximately 5 years I'm going to apply at SJHA to become a math teacher. I know it's wired but I really love my school enough to go back in 5 years. But as for me currently, I've been seeing places in San Jose that I find to be rather interesting, like yesterday I saw Bambi and his family at Alum Rock Park and a HUGE turtle the size of like 5 fists or maybe even bigger. I still plan to go to Santa Cruz one more time before school starts in September to go for fun but I don't know exactly what's going to happen yet. My summer has been boring and fun but over all I miss high school and trust me, if I know there is a drama performance in the making, I will be volunteering a lot for you guys cause you guys are the best. Also with football games, if the schools band needs a little more help, I'll be there too. I plan to go to BIG BONE just to see people so let me know if you're going and well running out of words to say so if you would want to contact me you could always text or call my cell at (408)-903-5744 or email me at tonypereira10391@gmail.com

Summer & Misc............ 2009

Well, my summer is going wired by matter of fact and I don't know what to expect of what the rest of it is going to be like. My foster cousin today had to go to a new home for a week and then he might be back after that. So basically I have no plans for the summer, I might get my laptop shipped out next week or at lest I will try to. DHL is a dumb shipping company, thats only my opinion. My sister got cable this week on Wednesday so now I'm somewhat occupied with things to do. I got sunburned on Thursday and yah it's recovering, but I'm not upset I was working on a tan and now, IDK it is getting darker. I called Yolanda today to wish her a happy birthday since I'm unable to see her since she lives somewhere else now but thats ok we are good friends despite the distance. I am going to DeAnza college this upcoming fall. Listening to "Knock You Down" on my iPod touch. So bored, going with my sister to take her birthday shopping on Wednesday and Monday both of us are going to jog and work out. Still working on My album                            "Fade Away©2009"    Coming out in September of 2009 so yah I'll keep everyone updated. Wanting to post my pics up but haven't had the camera and the laptop at the same time together so yah srry people. I will send you the link when I get them but if you want the pics email me. People that want pics of me and them together let me know and I'll send them to you once I get the chance. 

Ok everyone,

Farewell, 

Always,

Tony Luis Pereira

P.S. "I'mma gonna be a BULLDOG 4 Life" 

Senior Picnic

OK so I woke up at 5:50 in the morning to throw my laundry in the dryer. After that I ended up going to sleep after throwing another load of laundry in the wash. So I go back to sleep and set the alarm clock for 7 am except that it didn't go off so then I was all worried because I thought I was going to miss my bus to Vasona Park in Los Gatos. So I wake up and shower, throw on some shorts and my chain and sunglasses. Then I run to school and found out that the earphones I have, were broken so I had to run back home to get my other pair of earphones and my sisters camera so then I could take pictures. So I arrive just on time to see that the bus is approaching the front of the school, so I hurry a bit and I go to Mrs. L. Pereira to find out where I am supposed to be placed for the bus ride. The ride to Vasona Park was fun, I was sitting with Jessica, and behind me was Bri and Stefanie. We listened to my iPod touch and the ride was full of laughs and enjoyment. When we got to the park we just started to explore then we went back up for breakfast and that was delicious. I had a blueberry muffin with a cup of orange juice and then went back for, a bagle with hella cream cheese, and more orange juice. The me and other people went walking around the lake and explored around and found turtles and geese. I thought I had found a snake but it was a piece of plastic.

My Last Day at SJHA

Yesterday was my last official day at SJHA and it was so sad having to say goodbye to all the freshmen's, sophomore's, and junior's and hearing their last words. I was giving some advice and telling them to work hard in they're classes. I helped type Alex's essay in room 40 and that was fun reading it and talking to her about my personal life. Alex is an awesome friend and a good listener. Graduation practice was fun and didn't last too long and it was a quick easy process. I like where I sit, I sit on the second row, last seat to the right. Such a good spot not like I'm going to be cluttered in there and not able to be seen so well by family and friends. I helped out being a TA for the last time for Mrs. Stone and Gloria and Mrs. Castro yesterday and walking those halls was one of the hardest thing I had done since I left that school in the middle of my junior year and then decided to come back to be with my friends and past friends. So after 5th period, I went to Little Caesars and came back to my 6th period with 4 pizza's. Sarah A. was outside and I told her to not look and she screams and starts screaming, "PARTY!!!!!" so then I'm like, "Shush!!!!" because I wanted to surprise the class with pizza. Then I get to the door and Dylan was closing the door and was about to scream and I told him, "shush!!!!". He asked me if he could have 2 slices since it was his birthday and I said ok no problem. So I walk in after Dylan closes the door and I shout, "DID ANYONE ORDER A FEASTA!?!?!?!" so then we had to put the pizza away till the end of the hour because there was presentations to still be presented and Mr. Calkins wanted to get that done. So I participated by writing comments and taking pictures of the students and their projects. So after all the projects, the little animals, (6th period drama kids) devoured the 4 pizzas with no problem and I got 1 slice out of 4 pizzas. Crazy it was because they were all shoving and wanting to get some and wow it was something. But no matter what I love them despite there little monsters that they are. I will miss them all and I hope to come back during the summer to help out with the fall play and many more to come.   

Suitcase Catastrophe

Ok so me and my sister Christina yesterday went to go shopping for a luggage bag for her trip to Mexico this summer with my brother in-law Mario. So we walk all the way to metro city to exercise a little and then we waited for the bus to go up to king and capitol. On our way there, we saw a hitchhiker on the entrance of highway 101. On the side of the highway on the curve, this woman with a dog had a homeless sign asking us if we could spare some change for her to buy her dog some food. I felt so bad not being able to help, but what could I do I'm only a kid and don't have much to give. I saw the dog and it was panting and I was like, "I want that doggy to take home," so that was that but I really wanted that dog even though I didn't have the nerve to ask for it since I know I wouldn't be able to keep it if I brought it home. So we waited for the bus for about 30 minutes and it was boring but I was talking with my sister the whole time so it wasn't that bad. We get on the bus and end up going to bank because my sister had to input some checks so we did that and after that we went to Ross afterwards. At Ross, we first searched to see if they had any luggage bags and we found them after like 8 minutes approximately. So while examining the bags, my sister didn't know what kind of luggage bag she wanted to buy so we were there for about 2 hours and opening bags and comparing them side to side. So she wanted a bag that would stand out so then she wouldn't have to wait and search for her bag to hard at the airport. We went through 5 bags before we picked out the one. The bag we chose was black, (I know it doesn't stand out but whatever) 4 wheels, easy to move around with, and big enough for all her needs. So we picked that so when we did she would test it by putting her sweater in it to see how big it was and an  idea of how it would be. What she forgot though was her sweater in her bag and we started laughing because it was silly and funny that she forgot about it. So after that we went to Target and bought groceries for the house and we spent some time at Target about an hour, so we got snacks and other foods and some other supplies for the house. So when I bought the stuff we sat down at the rest station at the Target area and we stuffed all the foods, snacks and supplies in the luggage bag. We then went to Burger King and I ended up eating 3 rodeo burger and i bought my sister a side salad and onion rings. After that we went to the bus stop to go home at about 8:40 pm. It was a fun day.

Well, today I learned what happens when you take cake to school. Well, funny story, people turn into savages. I found it to be amusing to see how people would react. I had 4 cakes and different stories with each of those cakes. My favorite story I would say would come from my 6th period drama class at San Jose High Academy. I had a funfetii cake and tons and tons of sprinkles on top. Well, what happened is, you get 30 really dramatic kids in a room with cake and they ATTACK!!!!!!!! Little animals they were always telling me and telling over and over agin, "I want more, Tony give me more." or "Tony, that slice isn't big enough I want a big slice." I loved it even though it in a way was frustrating. My drama class is like this huge big family that I like to call my support group. My teacher, Mr. Calkins suggested that I make a blogspot to stay in contact with the class in the future; which I plan to do. So back to the cake, Sprinkles where falling everywhere and people fighting over the last slice, my friend Maggie even saw a little piece just lying around so she snatched it and ate it like a little piggy. Then my remark to the situation was, "How the hell did she manage to take it without the mouse trap going off on her?" We just started laughing. So much fun my last day of school for me. I probably will save all the numbers that I got from friends to my phone today as well as create a facebook to stay in contact with my non myspace friends. I recently created a twitter account and still getting into the whole cyber chat/communication that is offered throughout the web. But yah the cake was so fun. Going off topic like usual, Don't worry I do that alot now a days.
