What would  I do to make school a more interesting and enticing place?
My Teacher asked me to answer the Question shown above. Here is my response in writing. Click on the link above to hear my audio response.
   To improve the school, I would make everyone start at 9am. By doin this, there would be less lates. The second thing I would do is renovate the bathrooms, because they are disgusting, and the last thing I would do is to put more money into books instead of useless things like the gameroom.

My Culture Upbringing.
 
 
I was born in Montreal, Quebec on May 26, 1990. 

My mom immigrated to Montreal when she was 9 years old from Italy and my dad was born right here in Montreal. Both my parents are Italian(from Sicily). My Grand-Parents immigrated here from a small town in Sicily called Montelegro around the year 1970. 
My maternal grand-father was in the war and he then married my grand-mother around 1955. My Grand parents on my mom's side then gave birth to my mom in 1956 who is the oldest in the family, and then gave birth to three more boys and a girl while my paternal grand-parents gave birth to two sons, one of which is my dad, who was born in 1961. My mom and her parents moved around Montreal allot and my dad lived in St-Laurence and then moved around with his parents and grand-mother. My parents are Jehovah's Witnesses, my mom came into the religion 35 years ago, while my dad came into it 28 years ago. In 1990 my parents then gave birth to me and moved obove my paternal grand-parents in a duplex in St-Leonard. I'am a only child. 
I started school in 1995 at Nesbitt Grade School then graduated in 2002. Then I went to Rosemount High later in 2002 and I'm in my 4th year at this school, but unfoutunetly my maternal grand-father died earlier that year. These fifteen years I've met many great people who I like to hang with all year around I love to eat tasty Italian food from my grand-mothers and mother. In the future I plan on taking a trade in plumbing and succeding in this profession but for now I will try to do my best at school and have a fun time with my friends.



 
What I would do to make this world a better place?

      To make the shool a better place, i would not give all the money to the rich.. i would give money to the poor, because they are the ones that need it the most.There should be noone in the streets, cold and alone. We are all the same in this world, so we should all be treated the same.
        The second thing i'd do, would be to make education free, because there are some children who need to go to school, but they cant because  they have no money, and no way to get there. i would hire special vans that would go pick them up , go to school, and bring them back home afterwards. i think that by doing this, there would be more students in school. not only would that be good for the children, but it would also be good for adults because there would be a greater need for teachers, and so it would create more jobs.
        The third thing i would do to make the world better would be to legalize drugs.. but only for people over the age of 20.
at 20 years of age, you are old enough to think for yourself, and drugs are only bad if you take too much. people should be responsible enough for themselves to know when to stop. if people under the age of 20 wer caught with drugs, they would have to pay a fine and go to a detox center. they would have to go there and get help until they did not wish to use them anymore.
        In conclusion, thats what i would do to make the world a better place.

My Prospective Business Venture. 

     Another assignment we had was to write a short memo to our teacher explaining what a possible
 business venture will be about. Below you will see a copy of that letter:

From: Jamie Diamond  Cell: 514-911-9111 [email protected]

To: Mr. Steinberger

Date: December 6, 2006

Subject: Business Venture

Ref: Memo to you dated: December 1, 2006
 

Dear Mr. Steinberger;

      The type of business I would chose for a business venture would be to open an accessories store. I would sell jewlery, shoes, purses, and other accessories that many people use every day. I would also have a section in my store in wich I would have many things that would represent italy. For example; jerseys, bandanas, or flags.
      The name of my business would be DiamonD Accessories. I chose this name because it states my name, and what the business is all about.
      In my store, I would have a total of 4 workers. One to clean up and put things away, two to be at cash, and another to surpervise.
      I would locate my business in a mall, ans I would be opened until very late at night so that teenagers can shop after work or after they finish school. I would also try to locate  near schools, or near any other place where young people hang out.
      This store is for all the people who try so hard to find accessories and can never find them. I think my products will sell alot amost young people from ages 12 - 19.

Yours

Jamie Diamond

          My teacher also asked me to answer the following question:  Knowing that you live in the Province of Quebec where the French Language and Culture are dominant, what have you or your parents done in order for you to remain and succeed in this province? 

          In order for me to suceed in this french province where most of the population speaks french, my parents enroled me in the bilingual program instead of french immersion or regular. Starting grade school my parents enroled me in a french program. Everything was mostly french until I started high school where I was enroled in the bilingual program. In secondary 1 and 2 there were 2 extra classes in french but when I started secondary 3 it was mostly English. I'm glad my parents enroled me in this program because it has helped me communicate better in the french language even though it's difficult.
