Velodrome by: Chelsea

In order to become a pro cyclist you have to start somewhere. somewhere like the Velodrome. the Velodrome cycling center is an excellent place to go if you are looking for a positive enviorment. The Velodrome has a youth program called VeloYouth and i am a part of that program. At the Velodrome there is a lady named Tanya, she is the one that decided to start VeloYouth. VeloYouth is a 7 - week program that helps kids learn the sport of cycling, while there kids also learn track cycling, responsibility, teamwork, empowerment and pride. I personally love the velodrome. It helps me relieve stress. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to relieve stress try cycling.

Linkin Park:A Great Band, By: Nancy and Jessie

Linkin Park staarted 2000 and got turned down three times for a record contract in 1999. We want to introduce Linkin Park's past and present.

They were noticed in Los Angeles. The two most-listed songs at that time were ''Crawling'' and ''One Step Forward.' 'In January 2002, Hybrid Theory got three grammy nominations for Best Rock Album and Best New Artist.

I like Linking Park because when I listen to it I feel happy.I like it because it's kind of crazy . I listen to the band when I read a book or am just relaxing, because that's what you do with good music.

The History of the Mexican Flag By:Sergio

Have you ever wondered why the Mexican flag has an eagle holding a snake?



The history of the Mexican flag will explain this. A legend says the Aztec Indians built their capital Tenochtitlan (now Mexico city) where they saw an eagle perched on a cactus and devouring a snake.



The Mexico's flag was adopted in 1821. The green stands for independence, white for religion, and red for union. In the middle of the flag is an eagle eating a snake on top of a cactus. The flag shows the original people which were the Aztecs. It is a colorful flag which shows modern Mexico's, independence, religion, and union.



Spanish is my first language and it come from Mexico and thats why the flag means a lot to me.

Tears by Jacob

One day see my glory, hear my story

My tears drop like rain

in my heart I feel my pain

never let it out

in my mind I want to scream and shout

I want to show you whats it's about

but I don't in my mind

I can't

I won't

My tears drop so I lie and say

I never cry

but it hurt so bad

when I seen my mom almost die

My tears drop and you here my sad story

but one day I will

be free and have my own glory

Chris Brown By: Dakierra and Hajinne

Let's talk about Chris Brown. We think that Chris Brown has moved on from his problem with Rihanna. He is a good person now.

Ever since the whole Rihanna thing, everyone has had something negative to say about him. We think that he is now a better person because he learned from his mistakes, and he wrote an apology song. Everyone knows that we all make mistakes and no ones perfect, and yet people still judge others.

Chris Brown is now recording new songs, did community service and we even think he did a non violence class. We think that everyone should give Chris Brown another chance, and when anyone says his name, people should think of a super-talented and {cute} person.

Tijuana, Mexico has a lot of history and stories to tell.

Tijuana is frequently considered a place where dreams can come true.

One belief of where the name came from is an ancient Indian word "Tiguan " meaning "close to the water". Another belief is that the name came from a ranch, Tia Juana (Aunt Jane's) ranch.

Urban settlement started in Tijuana.

The actual date Tijuana was found in 1889. And the correct way to say Tijuana isn't Ti"a"Juana its Tijuana.

As you can see, Tijuana has a rich history. It is a big place with lots to see and history to learn about.

Mexican Food by Ramon and Keanna

Beans,Tacos,Chaybia,Tres Leches,tostilocos, and Tinga. What do these foods have in common?? They are all MEXICAN food, and we love them.We grew up eating MEXICAN food. Yummy-delicious food. Our mothers always cooked MEXICAN food; it tastes better than any Mexican restaurants. Our recipes been pass from generation to generation.
One our favorite food is tostilocos. We love tostilocos because its like a bomb going off in your mouth. Tostilocos are very spicy and sweet at the same time. Another favorite food of ours is Chayiba. Chayiba is shredded crab meat with lemon, tomatoes, onoins, and cilantro. Chayiba has a tangy taste in it. Next time your in a MEXICAN restaurant, don't be afraid to experiment and taste something different.

Rap Tells About Life, by Jacob

Rap music is my favorite music because most rappers tell about life and how it is. When they rap they also tell their life story and what they have been through.

Rappers like Mitchy Slick and South Park Mexican tell people about their struggles with drugs, gangs, jail and girls.

They have been to jail and have had many hard times in their lives. Rappers have a lot to say, and want to say it in a unique way, that's why they rap. They also rap about others' lives and their struggles.

Rappers can also write songs about love--like street poetry--and it doesn't always have to be violent.

Rap music, to me, is a way of telling stories about life.
