B-High

The high school that I attended for 3 years was Berkeley high. It is a really big school with lots of freedom and flexibility. I believe this is a really good school, education is really top tier. I would definitely recommend it for students who are focused and want to make the most out of their education. I say this because with the freedom you are given it is easy to fall off track and get caught up in the social life. The atmosphere at Berkeley high was great, really had a positive experience, Supportive teachers, staff, and students. Berkeley High also has a rich sports atmosphere. I know a couple of people who went on to a 4 year collage on scholarships. Berkeley high offers many AP class and have a verity of support systems in place to see you succeed. All I can say is try to communicate to your teachers and staff and try to make the most out of your opportunity.

Greetings/ "Sup wit it"

I Believe My speech habits have been greatly influenced by my peers. Where I come from we use a lot of codes and slang. I usually talk this way when I am around friends and family. I am an independent person and my parents never really set a way for me. My foster mother taught me to be courteous, and respectful, and to think before I Speak. My older brothers I have to say had the biggest impact on my speech. They used to take me with them going to outside and I mimic them in many ways. I use a lot of slang because I come from an urban neighborhood. Understanding how to code switch become a means of survival. Being able to represent yourself is needed in any environment. Another big influence in my speech has to do with the music I listen to as well. I use music has a means to release stress and to relax but I often have the lyrics on my mind and I use some of the word I relate to. The way I use my speech all depends on the environment I am in. I know when to talk professional and when to be informal.
