Trip to New Paltz Univrsity**Tuesday March 11th

The trip was fun i loved it. It was a great opportunity for all 11th graders to go and visit this University, because its a great start for us to think about what college or university should we choose, according to the program they offer, how much will you pay, how is the campus and how big are the classes.
What i liked the most about this university is their campus and all of the programs they have for their students. Also i like the fact that is far away form home.

Third week assignment*

Describe one significant activity or project that you have completed or are working on currently. BE DESCRIPTIVE!
Give as much specific detail as you can. Elaborate. Explain. Expound. Delineate. Illustrate. Use a lot of words. Treat this like an English class writing assignment. Use complete sentences with correct grammar and punctuation.

This week i have been working on two different projects.
One of this projects is scanning paper works and personal information about the people who are working there now and others who worked before there including interns. After i scan the papers i go the computer and re-name all of the files.
The other project i am working on is updating the "Immigration law and procedure"by Matthew Bender. Taking out and inserting new pages Example:it comes a package with lots of papers and it says the year, example year 2005,in it comes instructions that tells you the number of pages you have to take out and insert. Example: take out pages 256 thru 259 and insert 256 thru 257.
The work is easy but it takes lots of time and involves lots of papers.
This work is Important Because Tom gets calls everyday from low income people who want need information about their immigration status and their rights, this binders need to be updated because its easier for Tom to be able to answer questions.
