I personally think One Tree Hill is the best show ever because it is funny and it deals with real things in a teenager’s life such as dealing with drugs and pulling off pranks.

What Do YOU Want to Be?
By Tiffany Vasquez
What are you going to be? When you grow up, I mean. Because, when I went to career day today, it made me realize, what do I want to be? Who do I want to be recognized as?
Most importantly, what path will I choose?!?!?!?!?!?!
This is what kids and adults worry about. So, what do you like to do? Are you good at video games, or sports?
Then you can choose something to do with hand-eye coordination. You could also be good
at something else. Maybe science or medicine? Do you always help out your family member{s} and/or friend{s} when they get hurt? Then you could be a nurse or a doctor. Don’t like the sight of blood? Then you could be a nurse’s assistant. Oh, sticking needles isn’t your thing? Then maybe you could try something else.
How about…… music? You could be a song writer. Or, if you can’t write for your life, maybe singing is your strong point. Then you can try out for a music school. Or, maybe you can’t hit a high note and you can play music forever? Than maybe instruments are your thing. What about if you like to eat? Maybe you are a cook. Then, sign up for a cooking school!! Who knows, you might discover a hidden talent that you can make lemon strudel better than your old granny down the street.
As for me, I luv to draw and design clothes, so I’m going to become a fashion designer, or an artist. Whatever you choose, go for it! Hint :{ just make sure you don’t stink at it.}
Maybe you don’t know WHAT you are good at. Well, hang in there, it’ll come to you!!

I. S. 49 Hosts Career Day
By Hawa Barbar & Aaleiyah Kennedy
On March 20, the eighth graders of I.S. 49 were welcomed to a Career Day. We were first asked to “dress for success” and students (and teachers!) really looked their best. What we didn’t know was that there were a lot of representatives from every day jobs already waiting to meet us at the fair.
Downstairs in the gym there were many people representing their careers from police officers and firemen to lawyers and reporters. We met up with a very important person and thought it will be very nice to interview her; she is Miss New Jersey.
Miss New Jersey, Amy Polumbo, was excited as we walked over to greet her. She asked us for our names and the interview began. We asked her multiple questions and she answered each one with enthusiasm.
We asked her what she thought about career day at I.S. 49 and she said, “I think it is a wonderful opportunity for the eighth graders to talk to all different people in all different kind of careers”.
She also told us what the Miss America pageant is all about. “Miss America is a Scholarship organization.” When she was little she never thought of being Miss New Jersey. She ended up winning at her very first try.
As well as her interviews, she gave us all great advice when signing autographs. Her signature autograph comment states, “Best wishes. Always be true to you.”
After speaking with Ms. Polumbo we walked around the rest of the gym. We talked to members of the Curtis Nursing Program, Officer Pamela Smith of the NYC Police Dept, the NYC Fire Department and the city Sanitation Department.
I.S. 49 Alumni Malombe Toure, who is a Curtis High School Nursing students, was also at the fair, as well as and a writer from the Daily News. For Class 820, reporter Bill Farrell was a favorite at the fair since we had the pleasure of meeting him at the Dakota Diner at the Daily New s Breakfast Club meeting in November.
In the end we really didn’t wanted to leave, because we were getting so much information from these people about careers and how they started up their own career.
We received many pamphlets and in formation about different careers. Many of us left the fair having a better idea of what we wanted to be when we grow up. It was a great success to have that experience and we’re hoping to have that again. We can’t wait to Dress for Success in the near future.

Seafood and a Good Story
By Sarah Novak and Jennifer Luu
Seafood was served on March 12, but not for school lunch. It was part of the monthly Journalism book club held by Ms. Diacomanolis. Ms. “D” brought fish and shrimp because it was the kind of food Charlotte had to eat during her trip. Who’s Charlotte? She’s the main character in the novel The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by AVI. This book includes a lot of suspense, action, and adventure from the second Charlotte boards the ship, the Seahawk.
In the book, Charlotte Doyle had to take a ship to Providence, Rhode Island from Liverpool, England. Everyone runs away from the ship at the sight and Charlotte gets second thoughts. But she doesn’t have any choice. She becomes friends with the captain but when he betrays her, she decides to side with the crew who want to get revenge on the captain.
This is a great book and I would definitely recommend it. It’s good for teen-agers because Charlotte is 13. Chante Spence of class 820 says, “I think it was historical but (a bit) inaccurate and it could have done a better job.” Theodora of class 820 says, “I love the book. I own it so that should say enough.”
If you are interested in joining the book club, we are now reading is The Secret Life of Bees. For the date of the book club, talk to Ms. Diacomanolis.

Archuleta Loses Loses Idol But Wins the Hearts of Dreyfus Students
By Chyanne Gilliam 820
David Archuleta was one of the most popular contestants on this season of American Idol. He may have lost to David Cook but he is still our top choice at Dreyfus. Sarah Novak of class 820 says, “I like David because he is only 17 and he has a great voice, and I think that he is very talented.”
David was the ONE contestant that Simon actually liked. Simon predicted David Archuleta will win the singing competition. Simon said, “He’s cute. He’s likeable. [He has] a big voice. He’s the one to beat.”
David Archuleta’s full name is, “David James Archuleta”. He was born on December 28, 1990 in Miami, Florida. Archuleta lives in Murray, Utah and is a student at Murray High School. If he does not win American Idol, he plans to continue school and keep singing. He once suffered partial vocal paralysis, but avoided risky surgery and feels he has fully recovered. David started singing when he was six because he was inspired by a Les Misérables 10th-anniversary video he was watching, "That musical is what started all of this,” says David. At the age of ten, David started singing in talent competitions.
Archuleta won his ticket to the Hollywood final auditions at the San Diego tryouts. Archuleta was considered one of the front-runners for a series of popular performances. Despite the loss, we know there will still be big things in David’s future!
