12 3 24 Padilla Hello the limit today I'm going to talk about one of my students. I talk about my students to show the world of how great of citizenship skills they have shown to me. Today I'm going to talk about who am I going to talk about Padilla why does he stands out in my brain. Even though this student did something crazy in my class. No, he was very very talented. I believe that his brother recommended him to take my class. This student made great music. This student actually got together with other students and produce funny videos. This student also went by my guidelines. And this student also was a great actor. And he produced a movie short film that kind of look a little realistic. He did a great job on it and I suggest more students would be like him but yeah wherever you are. You make sure that you take care of yourself. I believe that you became a Marine and I saw you from a distance one year at the school and I believe I did say hello to you. The only incident I had a problem with you you know which one it is right so hopefully i'm sure you don't mess around like you did that one time but other than that we cannot take away all the greatness and the good citizenship that you did so for that I thank you for being such a wonderful student and all the other stuff that you did besides that one little mistake. Thank you for all the great work that you did in the classroom. Especially for creating the class song that I asked you to produce for me.
10 29 24 tribute to mr. Boiso
after
Boiso was an excellent student. It seems as if I keep repeating myself with these students; I always mention the great qualities they possess, such as their positive attitudes, going above and beyond the call of duty, being creative, and, most importantly, never giving up on the teacher's instructions, even when they seem impossible. For example, when I would give students footage, some simply said, "We cannot do anything with this footage; it's terrible." But I knew there were many things that could be done, and I told them so, yet they still would not attempt it. Mr. Boiso, however, did a wonderful job with most of his projects. I often used his projects as examples. I hope you are doing well, Mr. Boiso. I am sure that wherever you are, you are successful. Even though you never liked klaaash, I wish you would have played more. Have a wonderful day!

please correct the following paragraph for grammar. Boiso was an excellent student. It seems as if i keep repeating myself with these students. I always mention the great qualities that they possess. For example, great positive attitutes, going behond the call of duty. being creative and most of never giving up on the teacher's instructions even if they seem impossible. For example when I would give student footage, some plain and simple said, "we cannot do anything with this footage, its terrible". But I knew that here were alot fo things that could be done and I told them but yet they still would not do it. So Mr. Boiso, dida wonderful job with most of his projects. I often would use his projects as examplary. I hope you are doing well Mr. Boiso. I am sure that wherever you are, you are successful. Eventhough you never liked klaaash, I wish you would have played more. Have a wonderful day.

10-15-24 THE 2 BIG GUYS I remember these guys from Channelview HS. I remember that I had a project where I gave out materials so that the students could figure what the problem that I gave you all. All of the sudden we had a new student. So I paired the new student with one of my better students. As they all read the instructions, a problemetic student walked in. He always had a bad attitute and this day was no diffrent. Well come to find out that he was eyeing the new student. I then went to my office, left the classroom for a couple of minutes which is a big no no. Well the new student and the problemtic student got into a fight. I couldnt believe because I've had fight of this big nature and I went and called the AP's on the phone. I was thinking I have get in the middle to stop the fight so i said to myself "lets do this". However a Big Buy actually got in the middle of them and separated them. I was so happy to see that a student was that great of person to do this. I took out the new student out of the classroom and he was pretty cool, calmed and collected. It reminded of a gangster that he new he was in trouble but it didnt bother him. However i went back in to talkt othe problemtic student and this guy was charging at me coming to so that he could get to the new student. But thank God for another Big Guy who was football player because all I did, I saw he was coming I told him Anthony stop this guy, he is coming after this other guy. The problemtic student i guess he got scared and stopped when the football player told him to stop. Eventually the AP' s came in and took care of the situation. Of course maybe after a couple of hours like they always did in tought situation.s I want to thank the 2 Big Guys and let you all know that I have not forgotten you all. Thank you for helping out in that crazy situation.

I have to write about Mr. Adrian Rivera. I must say that Mr. Rivera display excellent citizenship skills. He always worked on his assignments and went behond the call of duty. I also recruited him to join TSA. He did. He worked well in his video game design group. He always informed me about the status of what he worked on particular days. This I really value because most of the other students, just left with out telling what they had completed or not. Thank Mr. Adrian for being such a wonderful good citizenship student. I hope life is treating you well. Oh, I forgot, you were an excellent Klaaash player. I'm even thinking that I think you won in one of our klaaash tournaments. Ok have a wonderful day Mr Adrian Rivera.

An example of somone showing good citizenship has to do with his or hers upbringing. If a child is born into parents that are criminals and always getting into trouble , the child will most likely grow up the same. However, if the parents are law abiding citizens, the child will will grow up the same. As a teacher, I could tell how the parents raised their children. The ones who did not listen to the rules and instructions, came from those parents. The ones who follow the classroom rules, showed that their parents told them to follow the rules. Also, this could also mean that it is not the child's fault, this simple is an observation. An observation is not a 100%. So there were students who had parents who were not respectful but their kids were. The same thing goes for the good kids, who acted up when they had parents that told them to respect and follow the rules.

An example of someone showing good citizenship relates to his or her upbringing. If a child is born to parents who are criminals and always getting into trouble, the child will most likely grow up the same way. However, if the parents are law-abiding citizens, the child will likely grow up the same. As a teacher, I can tell how the parents raised their children. Those who do not listen to the rules and instructions often come from parents who do not emphasize them. Conversely, those who follow the classroom rules show that their parents taught them to do so. Additionally, this does not necessarily mean that it is the child's fault; this is simply an observation. An observation is not 100% accurate. There are students whose parents were not respectful, yet their kids were. Similarly, some good kids acted out despite having parents who told them to respect and follow the rules.

YOU ARE A FANTASTIC STUDENT MR. SILVA
Another great student who comes to mind as having excellent citizenship skills is Mr. Silva. I truly enjoyed having you in my class. I believe you took three of my courses. I remember introducing you to the game Klaaash, and you really liked it. It seemed like the game was a challenge for you. I could see you concentrating deeply when you played. In fact, I remember that you almost won the year-end tournament. I was rooting for you so much that I felt disappointed when you didn't win. However, you still did remarkably well and even secured 2nd or 3rd place in the tournament.
I also appreciated how you listened to my class instructions and completed your assignments diligently. When we played Klaaash, I noticed it took you a bit longer to make your moves, so we introduced a 10-second countdown rule for you and others in a similar situation. Overall, I want to tell the world that you were a fantastic student, and I believe your excellent character stems from your upbringing at home.
Thank you for being such a wonderful student. I hope you are doing well and finding success in your endeavors. Take good care of yourself and say hello to Alyssa for me.

Mr. Soto, I thank you like many other wonderful students that I had, you were awesome. You were a quiet individual. But you were always on task. I had you for 3 years. I had you for Principles, Animation and Video Game Design. You were also an awesome animator. I always looked forward to seeing your finished work. I hope that you have pursued something in an area where you were so good at it. I did minimal teaching to you because you took the ball and ran with it. You would have been a great student for our Klaaash homeschool. Like Mr. Stephens, you taught me a few tricks so Thank you. I hope you are doing well.
7 2 24 Mr. boiso you made the list of one of my memorable students. I love the way you produce this episode of intense. Mr. llopiz actually has a different version of this episode but I'll give the trophy to you sir. This is a very good display of citizenship. Why? Because i gave my, i believe, 3rd year students this task. I gave them all the camera angles, song, and instructions. And all but boiso was able to pull out what I had in mind. However, he also produce other great projects so this is not the only one. He was a very quiet student. But I loved him. I hope you are doing well and taking care of biz on your own personal life.

Here's the corrected version:
Today’s memorable student is Mr. Miller. I loved this student because of his wonderful citizenship. He was always ready to help, going the extra mile, and exhibiting great enthusiasm. Sometimes, he even brought little presents. His creativity was evident in the way he introduced his project. On the last day of school, we shot a video which I've never shown to anyone, but I am sure I will. Thank you, Mr. Miller, for being such a wonderful student. I remember one occasion when I assigned my students to act as teachers, he thoroughly enjoyed helping others. It was heartening to see him enjoy teaching. Additionally, he was a great animator, and I admired his ability to accept criticism constructively. Mr. Miller, if you are listening or watching this, thank you, thank you, thank you for being a wonderful student. You are a great example of citizenship.

6 4 24 Today I will talk about another one of my memorable students. This student displayed pretty good citizenship qualities. There were a few times where we did have issues, however most of the time we did pretty good. Mr. Rivas, it seemed that at times, he felt he wasn't that good in animation. However, I told him that he was really, really good. I still remember the animation or animations he did for Klaaash. They were exceptional. Also, I'm so happy that he started his youtube channel showing off his work. Unfortunately, he forgot his password and he couldn't upload his work anymore. Or maybe, the school blocked him from uploading his work. I’m also thankful that Rivas was such a great sport that he would take part in our TV series INTENSE. Like I said before, a lot of the storylines in the show were improvised. We did not know what was going to happen. And this is exactly how I wanted. Reason being, is that I love to see Rivas' reaction to my intense character behavior. I think that many times Rivas thought I was a little KUKU. But it's ok with me because it was a form of entertainment. I thank Rivas so much for going along with my instructions and partaking in our shows. I hope that he is doing well and that he pursues a career in the world of animation. I thank Mr. Rivas for being such a wonderful student. You did most of the things that I asked you to do. I know most of the work that you created came from your creative mind. I miss you as I do most of my wonderful and great students. Sorry for some of the times we budded heads but we always got past them always. It feels good to remember my ex students with great citizenship skills. Take care Mr. Rivas and I hope that one day we will meet and talk about the good old days. Oh I just remember one of the times that we can get into an argument. I believe it was when we were playing Klaaash and you would get caught looking, you got very upset and I told you that it was part of the game to be very attentive to the moves that you would make. When you get upset, I never bother to ask you to play Klaaash again. As a matter, I believe you said that you did not like it.
5 21 24- Eppinette was a musical genius. He produce great videos and music. He was super talented. He parnter up with Stewart and produce a show called THE STATION. He and Stewart came up with some great story lines. I really enjoyed his work. He also produce music that I'm not sure if he actually had it online. As a matter of fact, I believe that he did have a sound cloud channel. let me see if I can find him. I was very happy to find out about my ex student Eppinnette. However, I only see on track and that was from about 10 years ago. Only God knows why, he only has this track. It did sound very good though. I still use some of his work, thank you Sir. I still watch your viceos and enjoy being entertain. Thank you for doing a n awesome job with your projects in class. I believe that I tried to get you to join our tech club but you were too busy all the time. It was great thinking about you sir. I hope you are doing well.

May 14, 2024 - Today's student is Mr. Estrada. He was a very interesting individual. I had him in my Technical Systems class in Channelview. I hope he remembers me. Mr. Estrada was very skilled both with his hands and, of course, his brain. On Fridays, I used to have an activity called "Tech Challenge." In this activity, I would provide my students with supplies such as popsicle sticks, rubber bands, magnets, and cardboard so they could complete the written challenge I specified for them. Most of my students liked this activity, although some struggled. Interestingly, the students we usually considered "smart" were often the ones who struggled, while those we labeled as "problem" students excelled during this activity. I remember Mr. Estrada always performing well. But what's more memorable about him is what happened when things got really chaotic at the school. There were fights breaking out between Hispanic and African American students left and right. It was a very tense situation. They had to call in the cops to be on duty during lunch, and many students called home to be picked up because they heard rumors of someone bringing a gun to school due to the escalating tension. Well, it turns out that Mr. Estrada came to me unaware of what was going on. He dropped by my classroom and told me he had just been in a fight. I asked him how it happened, and he said he saw two African American students attacking a Hispanic student, so he intervened to protect him. When I asked if he did it because of the ongoing tension, he replied, "I just wanted to protect him. I've been doing that all my life." He told me he had no idea what was happening. I found it incredible that he hadn't heard, but I commended him for protecting the innocent. Additionally, one day he came into my classroom and noticed a student who frequently caused trouble for me. He asked, "Do you want me to take care of him?" I declined because I knew he would do it, and I could get in trouble. Despite my refusal, he still approached the troublesome student and started bothering him. It escalated to the point where the troublesome student called me over and complained about Mr. Estrada's actions. I told Mr. Estrada to leave him alone. To this day, I believe he must have had a conversation with that troublesome student because he didn't cause me as many problems afterward. I'm not condoning his actions, but I'll leave that judgment to you. I miss Mr. Estrada and thank him for all the help he provided me when I needed assistance around the lab. I hope he's doing well, married with kids, and being a positive member of society and, of course, a great citizen.

4/30/24. Today I feel sad. Reason being, I'm going to my Uncle Jose' aka Tio Jose viewing. I made a video of pictures and music to be played during the viewing. I want to make sure that it all works. I assume that the funeral home will put the 2 mp3 audio files on a playlist so that it can be played throughout the viewing time. I have great memories of my Tio Jose. The one that stands out the most is when we asked our mom if we could go to the Mexican Wrestling matches. I knew that it would be hard for my mom to let us go. So I thought, what if we ask mi tio Jose to take us so that we can also take care of us. Sure enough, my uncle agreed and me and my 2 brothers went to see the Lucha Libre. I thank my uncle so much for making this childhood fantasy come to reality. I think my uncle was not too much into wrestling but he knew that he was doing something good for his nephews. I am sure that it made him happy seeing us being very happy enjoying the wrestling matches. I will forever cherish these memories about my uncle. I wanna say that it wasn't only one time. I believe that there were a few times that he took us. Those times were incredible for young little kids like me and my brothers. Now I'm going to see and pay my respects to my uncle and encourage my lonely aunt and my 2 cousins. I will end by saying thank you Tio Jose for those awesome times that you made it happen for us.

4 23 24 Another memorable student of mine was Mr. Flores. This guy was absolutely awesome. However, I did have a few issues with him. I believe that one time I told him that I was going to write him up for not doing his work. I believe that there was about a week that he just fell asleep and did not do his assignments. That drove me nuts. I got upset with him. Oh I remember why i almost wrote him up. I told to just work on something else just so that he can get his grade up.. He did not listen to me and grabbed a camera and without asking permission, we walked out of class and went to film whatever video he was working on. So when he came back, I told him that I was going to write him up. It didn't look like it mattered to him. I really did not want to write him up because deep down inside my heart, I knew this guy meant well and he was very talented and I had seen his previous work. So, I changed my mind and did not write him up. But did hide the cameras so he would not go out anymore. After a few, I approached and told him, when are you going to go back to your old ways. What can't you begin to do the same type of creative projects you use to do Mr Flores. And guess what, I woke up the beast again. I gave a camera, and without ill will towards me, he did his magic. I'm going to post some of his work but I have to edit it so youtube will not get on my case. He did the best project I had ever seen from a student. He did one where he was a physiatrist and he had about 6 patients in therapy. He played all the different patients and it was magnificent. You just have to see it. So Mr. Flores, thank you for being such a creative student. I really pray that you went into this business of media, video editing, storytelling, because you were the best. So thank you again. You are an example of a person with good citizenship skills. I hope you are doing well Mr. Flores. You were awesome.
16 24 My memorable student for today is Mr. Campbell. He produced
great projects. I believe that he was also going to major in video productions. he worked in the dream team. He was always ready to help. he was in the technology club. I remember that Mr. Campbell, Mr. Rami, and George produce one of the best 1 minute on demand videos. I absolutly love it. I went to protest why they did not win at state. They inform me that the song was copywritten. I was so devasted. However, I still enjoy the time with this beloved student, I also enjoy having Rami and George in our club. I will talk about this other 2 memrable students on another time because they do fall into this category. Oh i have to write about this. Mr. Cambell produce a great klaaash song that i place on this website. He also produce another song called Good mowning. He did it without me asking. I felt honor when he produced this songs. I do believ e that I did ask him to produce a klaaash song and I compensated him with Dj Brit. So Campbell, if you are reading this, thank you for being such an awesome student. I pray and hope that you. are having a wonderful life. Take care buddy.
4 9 24 Today I'm going to write about Sunny. Sunny was a very sociable student. He would always ask how my day was going. He was the type of student that I had to push. I differentiate the way I taught him. He would often get off task. But the great thing about Sunny was that he would have no problem being redirected. I believe that I got him to do his work by offering a special position in the classroom. Since I knew that he was very sociable with other students. I made him my supervisor of the computer lab. He would be responsible for handing out the equipment and picking it up. He would also talk to other students to get them on task. Of course then he would get off task when he did this task. Eitherway, I kept on eye on Sunny. I remember that one time, i took my son to school. He was very friendly to my son. But the most memorable time that I had of Sunny was when he saw me behind his bus that was taking him home. He looked like he was on the side in one of the windows. He urged the bus driver to stop the bus and for him to get out. I couldn't believe it. He then walked to my car just to say hello. I told him that I was doing fine and that he needed to get back on the bus before we had an accident in all this traffic. He shook my hand and went back into the bus. I drove off the parking lot thinking, "who does that?". I felt he really liked me as a teacher and I cherished that moment all the way home. In contrast with all the other bad kids, he made me feel spectacular. Thank you Sunny.

4 2 24 - Another one of my memorable students or should I say another "ones' ', are my kids. I had my boy santiago jr and my little sky in my class. They both took most of my classes. They did well. I loved their work. I think both of them produce great projects. As a matter of fact, I still enjoy watching some of their work online and videos of them that I have stashed away. In a few minutes, I will go to you tube and show you some of those videos. However, I'm not showing the whole thing for the sake of time. As you would understand, I love my kids just as I love some of my memorable students. They did what I asked them to do. However, I also knew that they had their own ideas and their own vision. So when I would notice that they kind of didn't want to do what I asked, i just kept quiet and let them do whatever they wanted. The video still came out great. I know some brought so much happiness to my life when I took him to a competition for the TSA. He won 7th place in speech in the whole state of texas. The speech was so good that the judge who judged him asked me what grade he was in. I told him that he was in the 10th or 9th, I'm not sure. However, by him asking me this, he told me that he could have him advance to nationals but he would rather get some senior instead of an under class man. You can imagine how upset I was in that situation. Thinking that my son could have made nationals and just because he was not a senior, the judge did not let him go. What a terrible situation. My daughter produced great videos and also, she was responsible for carrying the tsa team to state. She worked on all the half produced projects and got them ready for the contest. And we advance on all of them. However, that was the year of Covid and no one went anywhere. Still I love my kids and they will always be
3 19 24 RIDGEWAY
I have to tell you about Ridgeway. Ridgeway was addicted to Klaaash. He loved to drop by and play Klaaash in my classroom. Even during my conference period, he would show up and we played. The most interesting thing about Ridgeway was that he was really goooood. He got to the point to beat at my own game. This is the moment in life when I knew Klaaash would be a great contribution to society. Ridgeway got to the point of beating so many times, that I thought that there was a flaw with the game. Maybe there is but I have not found it. However, Ridgeway is the first player that brought to my attention that when you play Klaaash, you can have a strategy of how pieces can be moved to give you a predictable outcome. So when I played with him, I had to study what he did. I went home and I study his moves and found out what he was doing and then counter his moves and finally beat him. This was a tremendous challenge for me because i said, how can this be happening. I created this game so i should be able to win all the time. But my friends this is not the case. Endless students of mine have beaten me and all I can say is, they are smarter than me, lol. Ridgeway, I do know where you are at now, but thank you for the wonderful times we had playing Klaaash together. You really want to see how far we have taken this game. go to klaaash.net and find out. Maybe we can play some games in the future. Take care my beloved student.
