San Pasqual Academy Dragons Symbolism

What is mascot of San Pasqual Academy? happens to be dragon. It symbolizes power,wisdom and love even they dont really exist they probably are really caring things and not all mean and stuff like on the movies.Also because people thinks of dragons in different way like the chinese praise them and more we really dont know what they symbolize well i dont.i guess its okay i mean i dont see myself as a dragon but im gonna have to live with it for now but i guess its cool it kinda is cool though because some schools dont really have mascots.

“Through the Tunnel” Foster Youth Initiation

Even though they don’t have to swim through a tunnel like Jerry in “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, foster youth are initiated into/out of the foster care system. When foster kids go home to home of course its going to effect us because were just getting use to that place we were at and it probably took a long time to get use to that place to so its very tiering especially going in as the new girl or kid .Also getting use to the person thats taking care of you we dont know if that person is some type of killer or something so thats how i go into the situation kind of with my gaurds up and looking very carefully.And of course were going to miss or family and sometimes you wouldnt even be able to call them when you want to thats very irratating.Being in the system made us stronger and more mature about the situations we make and made we see more of the outside now.

“Through the Tunnel” Analysis Paragraph

In the story through the tunnel i find it convincing that jerry was so brave to try and accomplish something like going through a tunnel no ordinary eleven year old could really pull that off . Even though he didnt succeed he still tryed and alot of people give up after a little bit so i give that to him.He saw the big kids do it so i think he say why not . When he made his mom go and get the goggles he went swimming and never stopped intill that one day he tryed to go all the way down to the dark part and he thought he could stay under for long but he couldnt that was a down fall. Just because he didnt accomplish what he wanted he still could hold his breath for 3 minutes i think that was pretty cool .
