THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE MORE YOU HAVE TO KNOW. (BRENDA A. YSAGUIRRE)


Dear Student,

As we get ready to head back to school let me take this time to inform you that there is more to learn. Learning never ends. The more you know, the more you have to know.


Be happy with learning something new everyday. If you can learn more than one new thing each day then that is even better.


Love,

THE SILENT EFFORT



Nothing won easily, remains forever. (Abel Desestress)

Many seek success through the "idea" that suddenly, overnight, they will have success. They seek the path of quick and easy success, which often are sold by the media and advertisements. Of course, I will not be the one who will discourage anyone in this attempt to achieve tremendous success quickly and instantly. I just want to illustrate in this article that generally the way to the greatest success remains dynamically different. Usually this is the result of what I call the "silent effort."
It is that kind of effort that leads a person to dedicate every day for one or more decades to building their business.
It is that kind of effort that makes someone spend several hours away from their work every day for several years to write the book they carry in their mind.
It is that kind of effort that makes a mother and a father give the best of themselves every day to raise children with values and responsible.
It is that kind of effort that makes no noise, but it steadily builds the investigations that cause researches in science to advance.
It is that kind of effort that focuses on improving steadily every day the mastery of some gift or skill.
It is that kind of effort that is able to withstand the difficult times that always appear in any process of advancement and conquest.
It is ultimately, this "quiet effort" that millions of people make everyday while pursuing their dreams and aspirations. That is where the big key is found.
It is taken in that part of building and effort as part of the reward.
It is the enjoying of the road.
It is making the effort rewarding because in the process you are becoming more of what you already were.
Instead of thinking that you are paying a price, you begin to realize that with each of those silent efforts you are each time closer to taking and achieving your goals: The effort like a reason for joy.

ANOTHER VOCABULARY WORD FOR YOU




Today's Word "bombinate"

bombinate \BOM-buh-nayt\ (intransitive verb) - To buzz; to hum; to drone. "Sometimes the computer bombinates way into the night, stops for a bit of rest, then resumes its hum at the early hours of the morning." Bombinate is from Late Latin bombinatus, past participle of bombinare, alteration of Latin bombilare, from bombus, "a boom."

My Dear Students,

CREATING A GOOD CHARACTER



Start building today, the man you will be tomorrow. (Abel Desestress)


The development of our character is a cornerstone in our own development as human beings. Much has been talked about the direct relationship between strength of character and leadership. Anyone who wants to develop to the most their leadership qualities, will always have to work primarily on improving their character. Thus, we see three relevant ideas that I wish to highlight in relation to one’s character:

1.-Character is shown by the things you do. Speaking is always easy, but the true character is not shown by speaking, but through our actions. All famous persons have forged their character so that they are always facts and their actions that speak for them. They do not lose time with empty words and beautiful speeches. Your power lies in your strength of purpose and continued action.

2.-We create our character every time we make a decision. Many things in our lives are given to us: The place where we are born, our parents, the environment in our childhood ... But it does not happen that way with a person’s character. It is not something we are born with. We have the ability to build it daily based on our decisions and our ability to succeed. At the very moment you begin building your character your conscience takes form, and you have the ability to create your character to your liking, to enhance all the best in you.

3.-The limits of your leadership skills are actually in your character. No leader or great director will ever rise above their own character. We constantly see examples of "fake" leaders who at the first sign of problems collapse as puppets. They had a facade, but lacked the basics: they did not use their character to achieve the rightful strengthening that is the foundation of true leaders.We encourage you to give the necessary attention to forge a character with real strength. In that way you will achieve a solid foundation to face any challenge that presents itself in your path.
With Love,
Profesor Abel
Dear Students,
You are resposible for what you become. We can guide you to see that if you want greatness it can be yours but we can't make your minds up for you. You hold the key to your future. Remember your name and your character should be clean and shiny so that people can look up to you.
Love Always,
Ms. Brenda Ysaguirre

TRIVIA AND VOCABULARY - TOOLS FOR A BETTER BELIZE




The person who desires success recognizes each tool and guide that appears before him as the means of a better life. (Brenda A. Ysaguirre)


Hi Students of CCC ACE,

Here are two trivia questions and their answers and a vocabulary word. Learning is power.


Yours sincerely,

Brenda A. Ysaguirre

Director/Teacher/Slave Driver/Friend



How tall was Attila the Hun?
Attila the Hun was a dwarf. Pepin the Short, Aesop, Gregory of Tours, Charles III of Naples, and Pasha Hussain were all less than three and a half feet tall.

How muscles are in an elephant's trunk?
There are 40,000 muscles and tendons in an elephant's trunk. This makes it very strong and flexible, allowing an elephant to pluck a delicate flower or lift a huge log. The trunk is used for touching, grasping, sucking, spraying, smelling, and striking.



Today's Word "ephemeron"
consanguineous \kon-san(g)-GWIN-ee-us\ (adjective) - Of the same blood; related by birth; descended from the same parent or ancestor. "...Descent in the royal house to which she belongs had always been confused by substitutions and adoptions; the effects of consanguineous marriage having been fortunately mitigated by impotence on the part of the Kings and gallantry on the part of the Queens, and by the fact that the beauty of Egyptian women far surpassed that of the descendents of the Macedonian mountain brigands." -- Thornton Wilder, 'The Ides of March' Consanguineous is from Latin consanguineus, from com-, con-, "with, together" + sanguineus, from sanguis, sanguin-, "blood." The noun form is consanguinity, "relationship by blood, or close relation or connection."

VOCABULARY WORD NO. 4



Power lies in our youths to know and to want better for themselves and their country. (Brenda A. Ysaguirre)


Today's Word "galvanic"
galvanic \gal-VAN-ik\ (adjective) - 1 : Of, pertaining to, or producing a direct current of electricity, especially when produced chemically. 2 : Affecting or affected as if by an electric shock; startling; shocking. 3 : Stimulating; energizing. "I can feel in my face that I have turned either bright red or ghost white, with the same galvanic tingle that would send a polygraph machine off the edge of the paper." -- Edward Allen, 'Mustang Sally' Galvanic is derived from the name of Luigi Galvani, a professor of physiology at Bologna, whose experiments established the presence of bioelectric forces in animal tissue.

TODAY'S WORD IS HETERODOX

My Dear Students,
These are difficult times. These are days that are numbered. Who knows what tomorrow will bring or if we will be there for it. But just in case we make it to CSEC in one piece lets practice these words and learn to use them in sentences.
Tomorrow is egg day. Today is vocabulary day. Be good and have a great Holy Saturday.
I miss you all,

Yours sincerely,
Brenda Ysaguirre
Director

AND TODAY'S WORD IS :
heterodox \HET-uh-ruh-doks\ (adjective) - 1 : Contrary to or differing from some acknowledged standard, especially in church doctrine or dogma; unorthodox. 2 : Holding unorthodox opinions or doctrines. "Already I was considered heterodox if not treasonable, and I was keenly alive to the danger of my position; nevertheless I could not at times refrain from bursting out into suspicious or half-seditious utterances, even among the highest Polygonal or Circular society." -- Edwin Abbott Abbott, 'Flatland' Heterodox comes from Greek heterodoxos, "of another opinion," from hetero-, "other" + doxa, "opinion," from dokein, "to believe."

Friday, March 21, 2008

VOCABULARY WORD NO. 2



Today's Word "foofaraw"
foofaraw \FOO-fuh-raw\ (noun) - 1 : Excessive or flashy ornamentation or decoration. 2 : A fuss over a matter of little importance. "A thousand pardons should you find this letter so soon tiresome in its self-aggrandizing. All this brooding over one's place in posterity, the foofaraw of these last things, December's fanfaronade. I can conceive of nothing more wearying than to dwell upon pelultimacy, as as it is the imminent state of one's own." -- Bruce Olds, 'Bucking the Tiger' Foofaraw is perhaps from Spanish fanfarrón, "a braggart."


Dear Students,

Please don't forget these words. I will want you all to use them in everday lessons.


IN Christ,

Brenda A. Ysaguiire

Director

YOUR WORD FOR TODAY



Today's Word "equivocate"

equivocate \ih-KWIV-uh-kayt\ (intransitive verb) - To be deliberately ambiguous or unclear in order to mislead or to avoid committing oneself to anything definite. "A woman does not thrill, blush, equivocate, and faint for nothing; especially such a woman as Miss Leavenworth." -- Anna Katharine Green, 'The Leavenworth Case' To equivocate is literally to call equally one thing or the other: It comes from the Medieval Latin aequivocare, from the Latin aequus, equal + vocare, to call (from Latin vox, voice).

READ ON. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER TO YOUR SUCCESS


Dear Third Years,
If you recalled when the school year started I told you that you had to learn at least ten good words to be used on your CSEC exam. So here goes. We have had quite a few in class before the Easter break but from now on we will have one a day until we get back to school. Also a little info on a term we use alot. Please read. Knowledge is power.


Sorry for keeping you in learning but there is no rest for the student who wants success and for whom all I want is the best.


Much Love,
Brenda Ysaguirre
Your Teacher and Director


Today's Word "idyll"
idyll \EYE-dl\ (noun) - 1 : A simple descriptive work, either in poetry or prose, dealing with simple, rustic life; pastoral scenes; and the like. 2 : A narrative poem treating an epic, romantic, or tragic theme. 3 : A lighthearted carefree episode or experience. 4 : A romantic interlude. "For the sake of our idyll I did not take her remark as referring to the missing Stiller, but to the still unmentioned gentlemen in Paris, of whom I was less jealous than of her Stiller, funnily enough." -- Max Frisch, 'I'm Not Stiller' Idyll ultimately derives from Greek eidullion, "a short descriptive poem (usually on pastoral subjects); an idyll," from eidos, "that which is seen; form; shape; figure." The adjective form is idyllic.
A LITTLE INFORMATION ON A TERM WE USE A LOT

May Day!
Q. I wonder why so many people use the phrase "may or may not," as in "I may or may not go." To my way of thinking, the word "may" implies either the positive or the negative (or both). The "may not" thus becomes redundant, doesn't it? -- Wayne Reece, Nashville, Tenn. A. Not always. You're right, of course, that "may" alone implies two possibilities. "I may attend the concert," for instance, means either you'll attend or you won't. But "may" tilts slightly toward likelihood. If someone says, "I may go," or "You may find it interesting," or "They may sell their house," there's an implication that these things are likely to happen. By adding "may not," you're making it clear that two alternatives are indeed possible: "I may or may not go": "You may or may not find it interesting"; "They may or may not sell their house." But, as you suggest, "may or may not" is clunky. If you want a cleaner way of emphasizing two alternatives, you can use "might"; "I might go"; "You might find it interesting"; "They might sell their house." Q. Practically every day, I read or hear the phrase "for free." Isn't this incorrect? I was taught way back in grammar school never to use the word "for" directly before the word "free." Shouldn't it be either just plain "free" or "for nothing"? -- Dorine DeLutri, Latham, N.Y. A. Grammatically speaking, you're right, of course. "Free" is an adjective not a noun, so it can't be the object of the preposition "for." After all, we don't say, "you can get it for inexpensive" or "you can get it for reasonable," though I've heard the abomination "for cheap" far too often. Though "for free" was once considered equally abominable, people use the term so frequently now that it's considered a standard idiom and therefore standard English. In some situations, "for free" actually enjoys some advantages over "free." It can help to emphasize: "I got it for free!" has more punch than "I got it free." And it can help to clarify: "I got my cat free" could mean kitty was stuck behind the washing machine. So when children see a motel sign reading, "Kids Stay Free!" they should cheer because they'll presumably have the run of the place. A sign reading, "Kids Stay for Free!" would more accurately convey the innkeeper's intention.

MARLON TRIMINIUS OF THE CREATIVE SCIENCE CLASS


Love is a state and a process. It belongs to your being. you can't love someone and give love if you don't love yourself and value yourself. You have to be able to love and show love to understand it.
On the other hand, life and death are two different poles, a positive and a negative. If we live our lives good we will have a happy ending. Most of us fear death. We shouldn't fear it. We have to die to return to our original state. People sometimes fear living and that is why they commit suicide. We should live our lives as if everyday was ging to be the last. Living is happening and we should not wait on anybody. If your life had been a celebration, your death will be one also.
This is whay I learnt in this class.
Marlon Triminius


We congratulate our students, for the effort placed in writing their commentaries in Spanish since the main language of the country of Belize is English and 95 percent of their classes are in English. Spanish is spoken by a large number of the Belizean population and the class and the course was given in Spanish.

YO PUEDO. I CAN. Keep it up, First Group of the Creative Science Class. With love, Prof. Abel

Xiomara Vasquez of the Creative Science Class says this:



There are only two words that signify a lot in my life. Very time you set a goal you should have these two words in your mind.
I CAN!!
Life gives us only one chance and we have to live it to the fullest. We should not fear death. The same way God sends us here, He can call us at any hour.
Every time you are sad, cry and celebrate your sadness. When you cry you show the real you that is inside. Don’t stand and act like nothing is happening.
When person tells you that they don’t like you, still give them love. Love is not material. It is a state that belongs to your being. From the day you are born to the day you day you should be love and give love.We should educate ourselves everyday. Education is not having a diploma and high grades. It is having respect and knowing to make your own decisions.
Xiomara Vasquez

ANELIE TREJO, ONE OF OUR YOUNG MOTHERS HAD THIS TO SAY ABOUT THE CREATIVE SCIENCE CLASS


In the Creative Science Class of “Yo Puedo”, I felt I learnt a lot of things. I learnt to celebrate my sadness and to value myself a lot more. Now I also know that I have to love myself to love others. From the day I learnt it for everything I say “Yo Puedo” because in this life nothing is impossible. Mr. Abel taught us many things. He knows how to explain so we can understand what he is saying in more than one way. He did not speak anything other than the truth. I really enjoyed his classes. I would love for this class to be one of our main subjects.Anelie TrejoWe congratulate our students, for the effort placed in writing their commentaries in Spanish since the main language of the country of Belize is English and 95 percent of their classes are in English.
