Celebrate Hispanic-American Heritage Month

September 15th - October 15th by Janette Islas

In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared

the 3rd week of September 15th as Hispanic Heritage Week. In 1988, President Ronald Re-

gan declared Hispanic Heritage Month to begin on September 15th and end on October 15th.

Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the culture

and traditions of U.S residents who trace their

roots to Spain, Mexico, and all Spanish-speaking

nations of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.

Hispanic Heritage Month begins on September

15th because it is the anniversary of independ-

ence of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico celebrates its

independence on September 16th and Chile cel-

ebrates its independence on the 18th, respec-tively.

The word Hispanic is derived from Hispania,

which is the name given by the Romans to the

entire Iberian Peninsula, consisting of Spain, Portugal, Andorra, and Gibraltar. Some say that

Portuguese and Brazilians should not refer to

themselves as Hispanics. The term Hispanic is

used to refer to Spanish-speaking people in the

United States of any race.

Currently, there are over forty-four million plus

Hispanics in the U.S, which makes this Hispanic population the third largest Hispanic population

in the world, behind Mexico (106 million) and Colombia (43 million).

The first Hispanic member of U.S Congress was

Joseph Marion Hernandez in 1822.

The first Hispanic U,S cabinet member was Lau-

ro F. Cavazos from 1988 to 1990. T

The first Hispanic and the first woman U.S Sur-

geon General was Antonia Coello Novello.

The first Hispanic Major League Hall of Fame

inductee and the first Hispanic player to serve on the Players Association Board was Roberto

Clemente.

The first Hispanic Best Actor Oscar winner was

Jose Ferrer in 1950.

The first Hispanic Best Supporting Actress Oscar

winner is Rita Moreno in 1961. Source: Diversity News Online; Juan Rodriguez. September 23, 2007

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER AT AN OPEN HOUSE

Teacher of the Year-Eular Robinson by Stantavius Brown

JagTalk congratulates Mrs. Eular Robinson for her

accomplishment as Information Technology’s Teacher of

the Year for the 2011-2012 school year. We sat down with Mrs. Robinson to discuss her feelings after being recog-

nized with this esteemed honor. Here’s what she shared:

Q:Where are you from? A: I was born in Tunica, Mississippi, which is located in

North Mississippi approximately fifteen miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. I attended undergraduate in Missis-

sippi Valley State University, a historically black university

located in the Mississippi delta. Q: What motivates you to persevere? A: The idea that someone thinks that I can not persevere motivates me. I never allow an individual to determine my

outcome.

Q: What has being named TOTY mean to you? A: To be named ”Teacher of the Year” is an accomplish-

ment because I was selected by a jury of my peers. My colleagues understand the intensity and challenges I face

daily, and they want to simply acknowledge and reward me for staying the course.

Q: What made you aspire to become a teacher? A: As a young student, education allowed me the oppor-tunity to be more equal than most ideas that I encoun-

tered. Q: What do you want most from your students? A: I want my students to understand that knowledge is

the great emancipator; it can deliver them from all obsta-cles and challenges no matter how great.

Q:What do you say to students that want to be come a teacher? A: I convey students that want to become an educator that one must genuinely care first about the children.

Mrs. Robinson you are truly one of MJHS best. Congrats!

Meet Kenneth Ford

Mr. Kenneth Ford is the PTSA Presi-

dent for Maynard Jackson High School.

He is the father of 3 children and is a recently retired Deputy Captain with the

Federal Bureau of Prisons in Atlanta. His

son H.S. is assisting students with a

project that is sponsored by AT&T and Georgia Tech. The project challenges students to be innova-

tors of tomorrow’s technology. His message for any parent is to “not just drop off your

children at the school door, but come inside and get in-volved!” Mr. Ford welcomes parents, teachers, and communi-

ty members to become involved with PTSA. To reach him, please contact MJHS’s main office at 404-802-5200.

Real Jaguars Wear Pink During the month of October MJHS football players took

the field wearing crimson, gold, and pink in honor of Breast

Cancer Awareness Month. By wearing pink socks, headband, wristbands, and

towels, players on JV and varsity showed sincere compassion and support

for members of the Jackson H.S. family who are battling breast cancer. Demar-

quavious Daniels, a sophomore at MJHS

who has a family member currently battling breast cancer, shared his enthu-

siasm about the show of support by saying, “ I hope we will see this tradition for years to come at Maynard Jackson.

Hopefully, by next year we will

see more student organizations getting involved like the cheer-

leaders, the band, and maybe even parents.”

According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is

one of the most common can-

cers among women, accounting for nearly 1 in 3 cancers diag-

nosed in US women. Varsity Player, Quinton Bryant

What Should I Do? by Pamela McDade

Which life should I follow? What path should I take?

Should I go left or right

and make the same mistake?

Like I’ve done in the past?

Or should I move away and start

over again?

I guess what ever it comes down to I’m going to make my mother proud

because she is in heaven,

I know she’s wondering when all the

childish games will end.

So what ever comes to mind,

It’s going to change, But not for my

own good. But for someone who’s

always counted on me

No matter what mistakes I’ve made

because in the end I’m me so

whatever words you say, they

will never get to me!

Poem 26 by Taylor Ramble

Pleasure turns to pain

Lessons learned from the strain

Questions burned in my brain

About whether love is humane.

Swimming upstream in the tears of your deceit,

Separation is not as simple as

the distance between us,

My mind no longer possessed by demands,

That have been the overseers of

my enslavement to your lies.

The seeds that rooted so deeply,

they have cracked the foundation of

what we once shared.

I’m surrounded by darkness but I refuse to be

swallowed by it.

To give up and let love die? No not I.

Even though I’ve seen its darkest form of deceit.

Nothing else could be this warm

Or feel this sweet.
