Persuasive Intro

UPA home of the jaguars were they create warriors, artists and scholars. Urban Promise Academy Middle school is located by the Fruitvale neighborhood and it serves 300 students is a small school and is part of the Big Picture Organization just like MetWest . Upa serves the grades of 6th-8th grade and it mostly has Hispanic students because is in a communuty of mostly hipanics. UPA also has many things that students can do like sports and programs. Upa also offers many opotuniteies for parents to and it makes them be more involved. Upa also has many events like after school program programs and they show there work as well. One of the most reasont events was EXPO and there they had the chance to what they have learned in that year My 3 reasons why someone would want to intern at upa is because right when you come in you would feel so comfortable. Staff would welcome you and be really nice to you. Dont be scared of students that they might look at you hella mean because they wount they would smile at you and say hi or like what your name.

Hook: My little hall way

"J.J come over here you cant be just getting up your seat just like that you need to ask me for permission" yea that's what I always have to say to one of my students when I work with him outside. I think that through out my internship time at UPA I have spend most of my time in that little hall right outside room 20. I think that me working outside has really made me see stuff differently and made noticed the way that I spend my time. Yet I could say that been outside really helped me because I would get distracted more inside with the students talking to me. I really did like working outside because also I really got to know one of my students really good. I also learned that 7Th graders have it hard. What I mean by this is that they go through so many experiences that people might never think a little 13 year old might go through. One thing that I have to say is that 7Th graders are not little they could even be older than a few of us because all the stuff that they have gone through in life that people might not be aware of. I really learned a lot from been it that little hall way that is always going to be in my memories as an intern.
