Texas Common Application
My topic is about teenager mothers & fathers.
Many teenagers became mother and father more than before. It is not a bad thing, it make teenagers feel the feeling about being parents earlier. But it influenced the students on study. Some of them could not go to college to get better and higher education. Because they have to take care their babies in a long time, and they have to earn money to build their family. So every teenager suppose to think about it, and being safe.

Senior Plan
I will start to apply financhial aids in the beginning of the senior year. Then I'm going to make up my grade as much as I can. The most important thing is apply colleges. I will start to do that in the second month, because I need a little bit time to reaserch colleges again, and write some good applications.

My Choice About Colleges
After the college research project, I think I will apply the University of Houston.
The University of Houston is a major public research and teaching institution, serving more than 38,500 students annually with nearly 300 undergraduate and graduate programs. The mission of the University of Houston is to discover and disseminate knowledge through the education of a diverse population of traditional and nontraditional students, and through research, artistic and scholarly endeavors, as it becomes the nation’s premier public university in an urban setting.
UH is a really old university, also it has many traditions. Each year, the university celebrates Frontier Fiesta; UH has a long tradition of community service; At sporting events, the campus rallies around Shasta, UH's cougar mascot; Cougar Spirit Cord; etc. Those special points made a colorful school life to students.
My major will be Fation Design. Actually UH is not very good in art or design majors. But I just want learn that from the beginning, and I will find some better university about design after go to UH. Fation design can use in everywhere in our life. T-shirt, jeans, ear rings, shoes, necklace, bed, sofa, toilet, table, or doors. Make people's living more beatutiful and more healthy is my main opinion. I will use my major to everywhere in our live.
Or I want major another one is Communication & Media. This major is work for TV shows or something about movie. I really interest in that, I like the jobs interesting, not like do the same things every single day. That's too boring. And communication & media also can help me to make happiness to people in televition. I love to make people smile or laugh.
UH is not very difficult to apply, this also a important point why I chose here. UH only needs about 1400 SAT score to apply. And UH also has many scolarships to let students to apply. That's really helps us.
I think UH will help me a lot.

Reflection about Financial Aid
Financial Aid is a real good thing to our students. It not only can help the parents get less pressure, also can help students do not worry about money too much. The scholarship and grants both are very good financial aid for students. They are totally free, that's mean we don't have to pay money back. I will apply those two, I think that is a big help for me if I apply the financial aid.

My Improvement in Writing in AP English Class
Writing was a big problem to me before. I could not write anything more than 400 words, or something people could understand. After take the AP English by Mrs. LG, I started to know how to write essays. She made me know write an essay is not that hard, just write the things you want to say or you want to show to people.
"True feeling" and "natural" are the important things to essay. Such as you tell a story, readers and feel your real feeling, that just successful. We don't have to use too many difficult vocabularies, just make the essays get attention from readers as possible as we can.
Another thing I learned is own opinion is important for an essay. Some times people would have different ideas to you, but that is the point to make them think about the problem what your essay said. So clear own opinion also important.
My English still not very well, but I really got a big improvement from AP English classes this year. I will try my best to do other works about English, especially the writing part.

AP English College Research Result
About this time the research of colleges I learned a lot from it. Apply colleges is a big and difficult work for high school students, you have to know the colleges, and you have to decide which one you interest in.
At first you have to know the colleges. How many people in the college, how many students does the college wants every year, where is the location, or how much it will cost. Those are all really important questions you have to reaserch. And people know there have some better colleges and some second better colleges. So we have to deside which colleges we can go, and we want to go. If you always have great grade, then you may go some good colleges, such as ATM, Rice, etc. Or if your grade is not very good, then you can think about go to some second colleges, such as HCC, etc. The most important point is you have to pick colleges which can help you best.
After known the colleges, then you have to know what you interest in. Art, History, Law, Medical, or Business. Then you can find which college is good on those. Because some colleges maybe not very good in Art study, but it maybe have an amazing business major subject. So it is important to choose major in which colleges.
Actually "cost" is a big problem to every normal question(except the students who has a rich family), so how to get more money to go to college is a challenge for us, and you have to know which college can help you study and help you save money in the same time. Apply scolarship is the best way to get money for college. And you better find some colleges close to your house or apartment, then you can save some money for living.
After this project, I knew the college research is not that easy. So I still think about the college stuffs. College must is a important transport for every student. So we have to choose colleges carefully.

Animal Behavior Blog Project -- hedgehog
My topical animal is Hedgehog!
Everyone knows the Sonic!
Acutally, the Sonic boy is Hedgehog!
A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae and the order Erinaceomorpha. There are 17 species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and New Zealand. There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to North America; those in New Zealand are introduced. Hedgehogs have changed little over the last 15 million years. Like many of the first mammals they have adapted to a nocturnal, insectivorous way of life.
Hedgehogs love to do one thing when they fell unsafe - Balling-Up. They make themselves look like a ball, and make every thorn stand up to keep other animals away. This unique hedgehog activity is made possible by the orbicularis muscle, which runs along the edges of their body. When the hedgehog is frightened it tightens this muscle, that acts like a drawstring, and it enables the hedgehog to hide its head, belly, feet and legs in a prickly coat of erect spines. Also it will happen when hedgehogs are nervous, a balled up hedgehog also may snuffle, huffle or snort.
Hedgehogs sleep during the day in any dark place they can find. In the wild, they may hide in vacated burrows from other animals, under rocks, or in thick vegetation, but they typically dig a shallow burrow of their own under some form of cover. They enter and exit their burrows headfirst so the burrows or hiding places must be large enough for the hedgehog to turn around.

The introdution of Qin Shi Huang Di
Qin Shi Huang (259 BC – 210 BC), personal name Ying Zheng, was king of the Chinese State of Qin from 246 BC to 221 BC during the Warring States Period.[3] He became the first emperor of a unified China in 221 BC. He ruled until his death in 210 BC at the age of 49.
Calling himself the First Emperor after China's unification, Qin Shi Huang is a pivotal figure in Chinese history, ushering nearly two millennia of imperial rule. After unifying China, he and his chief advisor Li Si passed a series of major economic and political reforms. He undertook gigantic projects, including the first version of the Great Wall of China, the now famous city-sized mausoleum guarded by a life-sized Terracotta Army, and a massive national road system, all at the expense of numerous lives. To ensure stability, Qin Shi Huang outlawed and burned many books, as well as buried some scholars alive.

My NHS Applying Essay
1.
January 25, 2011 was the anniversary of my American life. One year ago, I was a regular high school student in China, studied hard preparing for college entrance exam. A phone call from my mother who I had not seen for more than three years changed the courses of my life.
At beginning, it was very difficult to fit in here. Using my second language to do everything in the new environment was a big challenge for me.
Fortunately, I met many excellent teachers who had helped me along the way. With their help and my diligence, I was able to accelerate and improve my English in the short period of time. I think my outgoing personality and strong will of overcoming obstacles were the main reasons I was able to adjust my life in the United States.
Procrastination is the personal trait I possess and wish to get fid of one day. I would have missed the opportunity of applying for National Honor Society if it was not for the extension of the deadline.
I really hope to become a member of National Honor Society, and receive more guidance and continue to improve in all aspects. I will work hard on everything in school, and try to eliminate my habit of procrastination, and finish everything quickly.
2.
I know the National Honor Society is one of the oldest and largest recognition programs for high school students in grades 10-12 in the United States of America. This organization gives lots of students impetus to study hard, because it is a huge honor to a high school student to become a member of this organization, and members can get excellencies from other members in the National Honor Society.
If I have the honor to become a member of the National Honor Society, I will strive to improve myself on Leadership, Scholarship, Character and Community Service, all four areas that National Honor Society values.
I really love National Honor Society’ mentor program and I would be honored to participate in it. I also think National Honor Society should start a tutorial program to help students who are struggling with school works.
I know National Honor Society requires a lot of work for various events, and I am ready to commit to all the hard work ahead of me if I am chosen to be a National Honor Society member.
