Facebook's new security process
Facebook has changed the many things about the privacy of the members. Now one can control the amount of information he/she wants to share. This was created because before a person which has mutual friends can see your information by seeing your friends posts like photos. I know that there are many pervs in the internet that only add you so they can stare at your photos. Before, even if you did not add them they could see your pictures. Now thanks to this new system this can not happen. I agree with this new precess.

Typing Master
I am not happy with how I am doing. I have to stare at the keyboard the whole time and it takes me a very long time to look at what I have to type and then type it. The short coming of this program is that the only thing we do is take the same boring test like 5 times. They should teach us how to type without looking at the keyboard or at least something not so boring like that test. I think that gross speed is how many words you can type per minute even with mistakes and net speed is how many words you can type correctly per minute.
Goals before winter break:
Gross Speed: 21 wpm
Net Speed: 19 wpm
Accuracy: 88%

Me
Hi! My name is Juan Pablo but everyone calls me J.P. I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico but when I was 2 months old I moved to Hong Kong. I basically grew up there. No, I don't speak Mandarin or Cantonese now but I used to know a bit. My first language is English (I used to speak in a British accent but I lost it coming back to Mexico). After living six years in China I moved back to Guadalajara and after four years there am here in Puerto Vallarta. This were I am for right now.
Let me tell you a bit about my family. I have a 9 year old brother and a 3 year old sister (I am the oldest). My dad was a tennis pro when he was younger but now he is on real estate. My mom is on real estate too. We are a pretty close family. Even though my family is Christian I am atheist (I don't believe in anything) but I am spiritual. A thing I really like about my family is that I have their full support. So those are my family members.
Now I'll tell you a bit about me and what I like. My passion is music. I play the electric guitar. My dream is to be a luthier (person who builds instruments). I am a huge fan of horror films. I especially LOVE the Saw series. I like to be different and stand out from the crowd. Sadly, I don't like sports (I like fishing but I don't think it s a sport). My favorite food is anything chinese. I like rondom humor and having fun. I enjoy reading Stephen King books. So that is me! I hope I can get to know you!

Map Tstings
I have been taking MAP tests for about five years now. For two weeks of the year we all suffer. I really dislike the map tests in many ways. The ting I dislike the most is that there is no possible way to study for this things. It is also very annoying to stare at a blue monitor for an hour. After twenty minutes I start getting headaches that don't let me concentrate! The map testing weeks are the worst weeks of the year after the quarter exams. You may like them but just don't!
MAP tests do affect our lives though. It helps the teachers see our understanding of different subjects. It also tells them if you have improved or not from the last test. That's why it is called Measure of Academic Progress (MAP). So all of this does have a good side after all. You are probably thinking all of this information is unnecessary. Well, you are wrong. For example, you get a very poor grade on one of the MAP tests (let's say math). They will probably assign you a tutor to help you understand and improve on the subject. So that means you better stop guessing!
There are a great amount of things I would change. First, I would make it so that the teachers give us a sort of study guide so that we know what to expect from the test. Maybe I would also change the background color to prevent the headaches. Thats pretty much all i want to change.
