The Oscar Grant Verdict

I truly feel that the verdict was totally unfair. It has effected a lot of people in the community of Oakland.2-4 years so not enough time for a murder case. I feel that he should of at least got 16 to life. Also i feel that the judge didn't have to set up a court date because when watching the video it shows and tells it all. He should of got life just for the video. It clearly shows that Oscar Grant was Innocent and cooperative. Personally it effects me because i don't think the amount of time he got was right because my brother received 15 years for robbery when it was clearly on the tape that he had nothing to do with the robbery. And Mehserle has a murder case and didn't get close to 15. Life is not fair. This life is not fair. But i guess life is not fair.

Week 1 Journal

Well for my first week of CAHSEE prep i can say it went very well. i been coming to class on time everyday.i feel like i accomplished a lot my first week.i learned how to do many different types of math problems just from the first week, such as graphing, fractions, decimals, and more. I can say i was very focused and ready to learn. I think Revolution prep is very very helpful and i also can say i learned a lot from it. I also like how it shows you what you did wrong and explain how to solve the problems step by step.A math skill that i know how to do well is algebra and some scientific notation.A math skill that I having trouble in is Geometry.
