College (PB)
I'm so passionate and dedicated about going to college. I finish sending out all my applications. All I have left to do is send out my transcripts and SAT scores. I'm now working on applying to EOP. I'm passionate about applying to this program. everyday I call different counselor from the college EOP program just so they can be familiar with me. EOP stands for Educational Opportunity Program. It provides academic, personal and financial support to New York State residents who hold a high school diploma or its equivalent, and who have the academic potential to earn a college degree. Although EOP applicants do not meet general admissions criteria due to historic academic or economic disadvantage, they demonstrate a high level of personal motivation and are receptive to receiving support. I feel like this program is fit for me because based off my financial situation and academic performance my college choices are limited.The EOP program will provide me with the tools I need to earn my degree. EOP will benefit me economically, socially and educationally. EOP will benefit me by providing financial assistance for my textbooks and supplies. I may not be able to afford books that I need for certain courses. EOP can afford whatever my family cant. The program will benefit me socially by meeting other college students who are in the same predicament as me. I will also be able to interact with students from different cultures. I can benefit from this by being exposed to diversity and learning how to adapt to other students lifestyle. EOP benefits me educationally by helping me get through college academically. I will be provided with academic support that I need. For example a tutor, I’ll receive extra help with my college work. EOP will benefit me because I will be able to take advantage of what the program is offering and succeed in college.

Health Class
When i first started taking health i really didn't like it, but now that we are learning interesting things i actually enjoy it. The things that we are learning now i can relate to because they target teens like me. At first i didn't understand the purpose of a health class but now i do. Health class informs you about your health and body, and how things around you in society can affect your life. In class we are currently learning about STI's. A STI is a sexual transmitted infection. We learned about bacterial STIs and viral STIs. Bacterial STIs are vaginitis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphillis and pelvic inflammatory. Viral STIs are genital herpes, human papilomavirus/ genital warts, hepatitis and HIV/AIDS. The most common STI out of all these listed is Chlamydia. Chlamydia is caused by a bacterium. Chlamydia can effect both men and women. It can cause serious , permanent damage to a womans reproductive system.

Dedication To TMA
6 Years strong and I dont regret any of it. Being in TMA I learned a life lesson I will never forget. Which is “ If you want something don't let anything or anybody stop you from succeeding. TMA gave me so much confidence and strength to work toward my future. Im so glad I grew up and remained focused. In TMA I've truly met some wonderful people who have impacted my life in many ways. During this journey I lost good friends and gained better ones. I made sure that I stayed with those who encouraged and believed in me. My close friends turned into my family and I couldn't have done it without them. Although It wasn't easy I succeed because god wouldnt put me through anything I cant handle. My journey at TMA has come to an end but my life journey has yet to begin.

Throughout history, the spread of beliefs has influenced the economic , social and political customs in many regions. The main religions that were spread were Islam and Buddhism . Converts of Buddhism and Islam moved around the world , the religions created change and were themselves changed. Between the second and twelfth century , believers spread their faith to rulers as well as travelers , merchants and local communities . Each of these two major world religions were transformed as a result of encountering different people and cultures , all of them have evolved over time.
The Spread of Islam expanded rapidly after the Prophet Muhhamed death . In a few decades the territory under Muslim rule had extended onto three continents , Asia , Africa and Europe . Over the next few centuries this empire continued to expand and Islam became the chosen faith of the majority of it inhabitants . One way Islam was Spread to African societies was by Religious leaders playing religious , social and political roles . They played the role of traditional priest in African Societies.This influenced the empire socially by Muslim men became peacemakers . Also Mosques became sanctuaries. ( Doc 1 ). Another way the empire expanded was by Askia Mohammed , who was the emperor of the Songhai Empire which was under the influence of Islam . Askia Mohammed expanded Islamic influence by introducing legal and social reforms . Also Islamic judges were exposed in all of large districts in the empire. This influenced politically by the court of Askia becoming the highest court of the land as well as justice was administrated rather than traditional African laws. Askia also remolded his Empire. ( Doc 3 ). Trade was a major influence economically in the Islam religion . Trade led to the Spread of food and industrial crops . The Islamic religion had a huge impact in Spain , it also changed the lives of many . “Some of the finest centers of Muslim life were established in Spain “. The Islamic religion really helped the Spanish. One way Islams improved their life was by building Public school for the poor children who needed to be taught .
