My Name

My name is Shamaine Brown. My mother's nickname was Charmaine so when I weas born she changed my name to Shamaine. My middle name is Tasha. My god-mothers name is Tasher which was then changed to Tasha. According to a website, my name means princess. I'm not sure if this is exactly true but I can only say this based on a website. I must say I love my name because it is very different. I have never met anyone with the name Shamaine. I have met someone with the  Charmaine though. Hopefully when I have children in the future. I plan on giving my children names that are from the base of my name which originated from my mother's nickname.

A Gift of Friendship

Friendship is a priceless gift
That cannot be bought or sold.
But its value is far greater than
A mountain made of gold.

For gold is cold and lifeless
It can neither see nor hear
And in the time of trouble it
Is powerless to cheer

It jas no ears to listen
No heart to understand,
It cannot bring you comfort
Or reach out a helping hand

So when you ask God for a gift
Be thankful if He sends, not
Diamonds, pearls or riches
But the love of
Real, true friends

How Am I Doing at Benjamin Banneker Academy

So far, this school year has simply been ok. There hasn't been any fun activities that I was willing to take part in. This past marking period has been a bit rocky for me. I transferred into two classes a couple of weeks after the year had begun. However, my determination and effort helped me to pass not just those two classes, but all my classes. I earned and N which means I need in improvement in living environment. For me, it's a wake up call to let me know that I need to work harder and take my work more seriously. As for the rest of my classes, I managed to receive two E's and four S"s. I know I can work harder but its all up to me to do my best and show my teachers what I am capable of doing.

What Impacts Shamaine's World?

Slideshow of what Impacts My Life

There are quite a few things that impact my life. Technology is one of the main factors which includes ipods, television, music/ the radio, cell phones and computers. The majority of this world consists of technology and almost everyone is capable of using it. Other factors that contribute to the impact of my world is my family. To me, family is most important because no matter what happens to a person's friends, family will always be there. However, friends also impact my world because we all need someone to confide in outside of family. Although many children do not appreciate teachers and the privelage of attending school, teachers are the ones who help us to get an education. It is a sad thing to know that money makes the world go around, but there is more to life than money. Jamaica is another thing that impacts my life because it is where my family is from and my mother always told me that in order to know where you are going, you have to know where you are coming from.
