How Weather Affects Your Mood

The sunny weather makes me want to be outside and awake. However, sometimes when it is extremely hot I feel irritable and wish I could just be in a pool all day. In contrast, cloudy weather is the complete opposite. When it is cloudy, everything looks gray and dark. Because of this I too feel gloomy. I feel like being inside the house and sleeping all day. The nature outside doesn't seem to be awake and thus I end up feeling sleepy. On rainy days the drops of water make a splish splashy sound. Sometimes, not always, this makes me want to go outside and play in the rain. I want to feel the rain on my skin. Other times it makes me want to stay inside and stay warm under a blanket. When the weather forecast is heavy winds I sometimes feel like being outside just to feel the wind move through my hair. Other times, since I see the trees almost in a wrestling battle with the wind, I feel like staying safe inside my house where everything is peaceful and calm. I don't necessarily feel these ways every time the weather changes.Moods generally have either a positive or negative valence. In other words, people typically speak of being in a good mood or a bad mood. I do believe that when the weather is cold or rainy, most people feel mad, sad, or depressed. When the weather is good, such as warm or no too cold, people tend to be more in a good mood because they get to do more things and they can enjoy the outdoors.

Cats And Dogs

he cat, also known as the domestic cat or housecat[5] to distinguish it from other felines and felids, is a small furry domesticated carnivorous mammal that is valued by humans for its companionship and for its ability to hunt vermin and household pests. Cats have been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years, and are currently the most popular pet in the world. Owing to their close association with humans, cats are now found almost everywhere on Earth. Cats hear sounds too faint for human ears, they can also hear sounds higher in frequency than humans can perceive. This is because cats' usual prey make high frequency noises, so cats' hearing has evolved to pinpoint these faint high-pitched sounds. Cats rely more on smell than taste, and have a vastly better sense of smell than humans. The dog is a domesticated form of the gray wolf, a member of the Canidae family of the order Carnivora. The term is used for both feral and pet varieties. The domestic dog has been the most widely kept working, hunting and companion animal in human history. The word "dog" may also mean the male of a canine species, as opposed to the word "bitch" for the female of the species.

Dressing Formally and Informally

Dressing for a formal occasion is much different from dressing for an informal occasion. For one, dressing for an informal occasion requires less thought. Informal occasions can be hanging out with your friends or going to the grocery store. In these cases it is always an excellent idea to go with jeans. The top portion of the outfit depends on the weather. If it is hot, a t-shirt is a good way to go. If it is cold, grabbing a hoodie is a better choice. In contrast, you can not just throw something on for a formal occasion. You must first consider the type of formal occasion, for example it could be a job interview or a ball. For a job interview you must be professional. Slacks always work best. Pair slacks with a dressy shirt, vest or coat and you are well on your way to impressing by sight. However, this type of outfit would not be suitable for a ball. When you go to functions such as a ball or a dance, choosing a elegant dress for girls and a tuxedo for guys is appropriate. If you were to show up at a job interview with a long sleek red dress, a big beautiful pearl necklace, and long black gloves, you would look silly because in a sense you would be overdressed.

Raw and Cooked Foods

Raw food have absolutely not been cooked in any way, shape or form. In contrast, as its name suggests, cooked foods have absolutely been cooked. One clear example can be seen in apples. When you eat an apple just the way it is you can in a sense say you are eating the apple raw. However when you eat apples in an apple pie, the same can not be said. Apples in apple pie have to have passed time in an oven. Thus, the apples have been cooked. The difference between raw and cooked foods can also be seen in the texture of the food. Continuing with the example of an apple, when an apple is eaten raw it is crunchy, juicy, and hard. When an apple is eaten cooked it is the complete opposite. Once cooked, an apple is no longer as crunchy or hard. In fact, cooked apples soften up and are of course, warm. It is possible for the apple to maintain its juiciness, but that quality won't be as obvious as it once was. Raw foods also contrast to cooked foods when it comes to added ingredients. When you eat raw foods, such as an apple, most people eat it just the way it is. However, part of the fun of cooking foods is making different combinations. When you cook the apple in an apple pie, it is likely that now the apple has been mixed with cinnamon and other ingredients. 

Spice Foods Vs. Sweet Foods

A spice is a dried seed, fruit, root, bark, or vegetative substance used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a food additive for flavor, color, or as a preservative that kills harmful bacteria or prevents their growth. In the kitchen, spices are distinguished from herbs, which are leafy, green plant parts used for flavoring. Piquance or piquancy is a type of pungence specific to the sense of taste. Piquance is often quantized in scales that range from mild to hot. The Scoville scale measures the piquance of chili peppers, as defined by the amount of capsaicin they contain. It is not considered a taste in the technical sense, because it is carried to the brain by a different set of nerves. While taste nerves are activated when consuming foods like chili peppers, the sensation commonly interpreted as "hot" results from the stimulation of somatosensory fibers in the mouth. Many parts of the body with exposed membranes that lack taste receptors produce a similar sensation of heat when exposed to pungent agents. Confectionery is the set of food items that are rich in sugar, any one or type of which is called a confection. Modern usage may include substances rich in artificial sweeteners as well.

In contrast, cloudy weather is the complete opposite. When it is cloudy, everything looks gray and dark. Because of this I too feel gloomy. I feel like being inside the house and sleeping all day.

Public Schooling and Homeschooling

Homeschooling or homeschool, also called home education or home learning, is the education of children at home, typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, rather than in other formal settings of public or private school. Although prior to the introduction of compulsory school attendance laws, most childhood education occurred within the family or community, homeschooling in the modern sense is an alternative in developed countries to private schools outside the home or educational institutions operated by civil governments. Homeschooling is a legal option for parents in all 50 United States and some countries to provide their children with a learning environment as an alternative to public or private schools outside the home. Parents cite numerous reasons as motivations to homeschool, including better academic test results, poor public school environment, improved character and morality development, the expense of private education, and objections to what is taught locally in public school. It may be a factor in the choice of parenting style. Homeschooling is also an alternative for families living in isolated rural locations or living temporarily abroad.

Understanding Vs. Knowledge

For you to understand something, there must be a "click" in your mind. for example if you see a rose flower with thorns on the stem and someone tells you that thorn hurts, it is easy for something to click in your mind and you to see the sharpness to the thorn and understand that that thorn can hurt you. However, you do not know how much it could hurt you or what the degree of pain is. That comes from knowledge because the only way you can find out exactly how much it hurts is by experiencing it yourself.  Understanding comes from the mind while knowledge comes from an act. In other words you do not need knowledge to understand. You can understand something first and then choose whether you want to investigate it and become knowledgeable on the particular subject. Having knowledge is going beyond what a normal person would understand in a subject. Understanding and knowledge can work together or they can stand alone. Either way both are important.

Favorite Music Video

My favorite music video is "Y Que Quede Claro" by La Arrolladora Banda El Limon. I like this song because it is a love song. It is a really cute video. The video starts off with two couples in bed. The alarm clock goes on, and it is now time for them to get up. They get in the bills and they barely have money to pay for the bills. The girl is washing clothes and the guy is next to her drinking a cup of coffee thinking about something that is bothering him, perhaps the fact that they need money to survive. They go eat to this taco place, and later that night he cannot sleep because he is thinking too much about their economic problems. The next morning he finds out that his wife is pregnant. He immediately has a huge smile on his face. They start saving money and everyday they put in money into a jar. Later on he decides to go ask for a job at the taco place where he and his wife had gone to that one night. That same day his wife goes into labor, and the neighbor immediately tell him that she went to the hospital. He quickly goes into the house to get the jar of money and runs to the hospital. He finds that he does not have enough money to pay the hospital, so he goes and asks the owner of the taco stand if he can lend him some money. The man helps him out. The last part of the video is when the wife is in the hospital bed with the husband and the nurse brings in the baby. The husband kisses his wife in the forehead and they both look at the baby.

Effective Teacher

I believe that the most effective teacher I have ever had was my eleventh grade English teacher, Mr. Cain. He was a very great instructor. If  I had trouble with something he will explain it to me in a different way. He always pushed his students to do the best that they can do. With his ability to teach, I was able to understand everything thoroughly and effectively. I will always get A's or B's in his class. Aside from his professional skills, e was a good friend. He was easy to talk to and funny. However, I knew that he was still an adult so I still respected him.
The books he made us read were very interesting. He will make us rethink about things in other perspective, which was very unique. He will also teach us about life lessons in a way that we can understand. He taught me so much about myself and how I can pursue my dreams. The sad thing is that he is no longer at my school anymore. He is my favorite teacher from High School.

Not Enough Sleep

Many people nowadays do not get the proper amount of sleep they should be getting. They get so caught up with their favorite late night talk shows or just because they are talking on the phone, texting, or using the computer. If you are a student, it will affect you greatly. When a student goes to sleep late, the next day in class they feel sleepy and they do not pay attention in class. This affect them academically because since they do not listen to the teacher as they are giving their lecture, they will do poorly on their assignments and tests. Having a good night sleep will help them have a fresh start in the morning and they will be able to absorb all the information the teacher is ready to lecture on. It goes the same for those that go to work early in the morning.i do not get enough sleep, thenext morning i will not want to get up from bed. I will do everything slower than usual. If I were at school I will be quiet and keep to myself. I would not want to do any work but i know i have to. I will probably be moody also. I will probably back talk people who are getting on my nerves, like my sisters, or a teacher i do notlike. That is why I always go to sleep no later than eleven because I know I will not be myself. since i go to soccer practice right after, I will not want to go. I will want to go home and rest so i can be productive the next day or the same day.

Favorite Movie

In Beaufort, North Carolina, a prank on a student goes terribly wrong and puts the student in the hospital. Landon Carter, a popular student with no defined plans for the future, is held responsible and forced to participate in after-school community service activities as punishment, which include starring as the lead in the school play. Also participating in these activities is Jamie Sullivan, the reverends daughter who has great ambitions and nothing in common with Landon. When Landon decides he wants to take his activities seriously, he asks Jamie for help and begins to spend most of his time with her. But he starts to develop strong feelings for her, something he did not expect to do because he had promised her he will not fall in love with her. The two start a relationship, much to the chagrin of Landon's old popular friends and Jamie's strict reverend father. But when a heart-breaking secret becomes known that puts their relationship to the test, it is then that Landon and Jamie realize the true meaning of love and fate. Jamie was diagnosed with leukemia and it was getting worse. However, Landon asked his father, who is a doctor, to help because he did not wasn't to lose the love of his life. Landon decided to get married with Jamie even though they were teenagers. A few months after getting married, Jamie died. Leaving her father and her husband very devastated but they cherished every moment they had with her. Landon then decided to pursue a career for Jamie's sake and succeeded very well.

New Language

 will be spending a year abroad and I was told that I need to learn a new language to be able to communicate with he people there. They happen to be French, so now I have to learn how to speak French fluently. I only know how to say hello, thank you and please in French. I most definetely need to learn this language fast! I will start searching for a French teacher who can teach me how to speak French. Hopefully this will help me out. If the teacher is not helpful, I will take French courses in a school. I was also thinking of buying those DVD's and audio tapes that help you learn how to speak a language, but I do not know if that will help me out. I will try all three methods. I would make sure to spend most of my time learning to speak French. That will mean that I have to make up a schedule for everyday so that I can be organized. These would be my plans to accomplish my goal of learning how to speak fluent French.

Teenage Fad

Some teenagers are expressing their feelings for one another through a new fad, biting. This new fad came about because of the concept of vampires in movies and in the media. Most fads are brought about in the media, in movies television, and magazines. The vampires portrayed in today's media are not vampires of the past, today's vampires display feelings of love. There are plenty of vampire themes in the media. Biting is taking over this generations hickey. Biting is seen as a form of affection that symbolize ownership. If someone has a a bite or hickey, the person is usually connected with a partner. This fad came about because of hit movies that portrayed vampires as the theme, such as Twilight. These people became fans of the movie and of the theme because they want to imitate what they saw on in these movies. They saw the concept of the movies to be harmful and began to develop this fad to portray the characters they saw in these movies.

Relationships Between People and Animals

There are many people that spend a great time with animals. To some people, they consider animals to be like people or their best friends. Like they always say, a man's best friend is a dog. I have seen in some occasions that some people see their pets like if they were their sons or daughters. Others like to help animals because they have no shelter or home. The relationship between a person and an animal can be really great. Some people cannot live without their pets. They take them everywhere they go. One time when I was at the park I saw that this lady had her dog in a dog stroller. In my mind I was," That is crazy!" I had never seen nothing like that. I have only had a relationship with animals once. I had a goldfish once, but it died. I used to feed it when it was the proper time, clean its tank, and I would also pet it. I enjoyed having a goldfish, it was a nice experience. If you ever experience on having a relationship with an animal, you will enjoy it greatly.

Favoriet desert

As I was thinking of this, I definitely imagined something with chocolate. It all came to me! I imagined a chocolate chip waffle topped with jamoca almond fudge ice cream topped with hot fudge, almond pieces, whipped cream and a cherry on the top. I can imagine it right now and my mouth gets so watery. I have tried these things individually, so why not try them both together. That would make such a good combo. After I finish doing this blog I will go try it out and see if it is good. Im so hungry now! I can imagine the hot fudge running through the ice cream, the waffle then when it hits the plate itself. Hearing the whipped cream getting sprayed on the ice cream makes my ears tingle.

Life Without Cell phones

Considering that technology is advancing everyday and new inventions are forming, life without the invention of cellphones would be completely different. Now a days people rely a majority of their life on their phones. People can not step out of their house without having their phone in their hand. If they forget to grab there phone, they will go back in get it even if there drove five minutes away already.Approximately 4.6 billion people own a cell phone worldwide. All these 4.6 billion people would not have a cell phone if they did not exist today. I think that many people today would be devastated because there are alot of people who depend on their phone for personal or business use.Almost every one has a cell phone or wants one. People use it to stay in contact with other people. Text messaging has also become a popular bonus to a cell phone. Needless to say, modern life would be extremely different without cell phones. People would not have the luxury of pushing a couple of buttons and all of a sudden being in communication with someone far away. If cell phones did not exist, people would have to write letters for everything. If they want to say something to a person, they would have to write it or use email.

Spain

 Spain is very known for bullfights so I know that they will be very fun filled. I also want to try the cuisines in Spain, experience the rich flavor of the food Spaniards eat. It is always good to try new good from other places. I hope that one day I do get to go to Spain and get to experience all the fun things to do and see in Spain. Spain, without a doubt I would go see FC Barcelona play a soccer game in their amazing stadium. The food in any one of these popular places of Spain would be a privilege to taste. Best of all, the language of Spain would be no problem at all since I so happen to speak Spanish as well. While in Spain, I would be interested to learn about the royal history of such a country. I would also love to go see many of Spain most interesting attractions such as the beautiful gardens and architectural wonders of Alhambra in Granada. The running of the bulls is something I would never dare to try but I would not mind watching it from an elevated position. I also find Spain appealing because of its beautiful because and islands. Before I leave Spain I would have to do some serious shopping at their many wonderful stores and plazas.

College out of State

Before attending an out of state institution of your choice you must be certain that you have a place to stay. You can't very well be homeless. Arrange to live in the dorms or to rent an apartment. Be aware of certain deadlines the college of your choice might set for students with the intention of living on campus. Another task you must complete is figuring out how to move all of your necessities to the place you will be living at. If you are going out of state, chances are that you will have to take an airplane to reach your college or drive for quite a few hours. If you are traveling by airplane you should find out if it is possible to fly all of your necessities with you or if you will have to pay extra. After all, if I am correct, I assume you can not ride the airplane carrying a mattress :). If you plan on going to your college by automobile, you might have to make more than one trip to deliver any furniture, mattress, or any other large item. Last but certainly not least, before g

The 80's

If I could live during any decade I would like to live during the 80's. There were many amazing and tragic things that happened during this time. In 1980, John Lennon was assassinated. At this time Mount St. Helens also erupted. That toy every kid had made of different color cubes called the Rubik's cube became very popular among everyone. Ted Turner also established CNN. In 1981 they tried to assassinate both the Pope and U.S. President Ronald Reagan. We had never imagined that Sandra Day O'Connor would ever be appointed to the supreme court and it did happen this year. That was such a good accomplishment for her. That year a new plague was identified as AIDS. Pac-Man also became extremely popular among the kids and adults. IBM introduced personal computers. In entertainment, E.T. was released in theaters and Michael Jackson released Thriller. Cabbage Patch Kids became popular among kids. The eighties was also a time where money went a longer way. Things were cheaper and came in a greater amount back then. It would be a nice change to get more value for my money. Music from the eighties must have also been different. I would like to experience the music craze back then as well. I think the eighties was a decade where life was a little simpler and more relaxed. That would be a nice change in comparison to the now hectic, stressful style of living most Americans live.

Appreciating my Parents

i really thank my parents for giving me birth. My parents have been with me ever since year one, and they have guided me to a successful path. They are both hard workers and they have given me what I needed. They have also been in the good and bad times, making me feel better. I am very thankful that they have provided a roof over my head and have given me food and things that I need. I really love my parents they are the best ever! My parents have gone through many things and they have struggled to feed not only me but also my brother and sisters. They both work everyday, sweating a tear each minute of the day. Without my parents I think I would not be able to survive. They have given me the strength to continue in life and achieve my goal of becoming an elementary teacher. The main reason however is simply because they love us.

My Best Friends Birthday

If I were to celebrate my best friend's birthday I would first have to know what she likes. For example, her favorite color, her favorite food, beverages she enjoys drinking and also what cake she likes the best. I would inform all her family and friends that I was throwing a party for my best friend. I would then find the perfect place to have the party where all her family and friends will be able to enjoy it with her. After that I would go buy the decorations on the color my best friend likes, and also get forks, plates, napkins, and spoons. The day of the birthday party I would fix everything very early and since it would be a surprise, I would personally go pick her up and tell her if she wanted to chill but first we had to go do something. It would be amazing to see her face when we all scream," Surprise!" The music will be played and the party will start! What an amazing time we will all have. It will be a party that my best friend will always remember.

A New Person From Another Country

f I was asked to write an article about a person newly arrived from another country I would enjoy it. My parents came to the United States from El Salvador and I would like to see how my parents experience and the experience of the person I am interviewing relate. I would have to interview the person and then decide which information to include. I would include why they left their country and decided to come to the United States. I would want to know if they left because of a war or maybe even persecution. I would also include in my article if they are glad they came to the United States or sad about it. My article would also include what the person came to. What I mean by this is that I would ask the person if they came to the United States and had a family member already here or if they came to nothing. The majority of my article would include the person's experience in coming to America.

Family History

At times when we ask questions about our family history we could find out interesting things like something historical that occured in our family or family members that could have been famous. If we do not ask questions or are intrigued to know where we come from or how our family arrived where we are, we will not fully know who we are and not know things that occurred in our family. If i had a chance to ask an older relative about my family history I would like to know everything. I would like to know about every single detail, who are the members that first arrived ,who they were,and what they did. I would want to ask if any interesting fact happened within my family and if so what it was. I would not want to restricted to asking a certain amount of questions, i want to know everything eve if it might take days or even months to know about my family history. I want to be able to know where i came from and who were the people that have passed throughout my family history.

Choosing The Right College

Many students enter college undecided, which is fine, but it is best to have some idea of a career or major to steer your way in the correct path. When you have an idea of what you might want to major in can also help the process of finding the right college. You should also create a list of the colleges you are considering and the ones that you are not. Also ask yourself questions, Do you want to live close to home or faraway? Do you want a large or small university? Can you afford to pay for it? A major obstacle for students is the cost of the university. The cost is what holds back most students because they do not know how to pay for it. However, I do not think people should do that because if its their dream school they will do whatever it takes to attend there. You should consider attending college fairs, where you will be able to meet with representatives from the universities and obtain more information on the university. The best way to get a feel of a college is by visiting the campus. Take a tour of the campus and ask questions about the college to your tour guide. By doing this you will have an opportunity to see the college in person and having more information to base your decision on.

Master Plan

A master plan for my community that will make it a better place to live is providing more options for the kids growing up in the community, especially teenagers. By providing more programs and associations this kids will not get involved in negative situations. These programs will help them make beneficial decisions in their lifetime. They will know what is right from wrong and what will be useful to them in the future. they will also be taught not to give into temptation and peer pressure. They will know that their education should always be their priority ans this priority should not be intervened by peer pressure to for example experiment with drugs or join a gang. The way to lean into a direction where this standard would be possible is to create more activities and clean up after one selves. if every one were to clean up after themselves the community would be a lot nicer. So the next time you want to through a bag of MacDonald out of a car window, just wait until you get home and through it in the trash instead.

vegetable i dislike

The vegetable that I truly dislike are peas. I do not know why but I have always found them disgusting. If there is food I am eating that contains food, I always immediately take out all the peas. There has been many times I have tasted them and they have a weird taste. Since I do not like peas sometimes after I finish eating my food that contained peas makes me want to play with the peas and I start rolling them with my fingers or squeeze them all. My mom gets mad at me, but I find it funny. It weird because I like most vegetables, but I really dislike peas. I like carrots, and peas and carrots go together.Peas to me are nasty. When you eat them they are squishy and slushy. The inside part squeezes out of the outside shell and spills all over your mouth. It has a disgusting taste. When I have eaten peas i have felt like I was eating spoonfuls of buggers. Maybe my dislike of peas might change in the future but for now peas to me are horrible. Or maybe the ways in which I have eaten peas are what make me dislike them because I also can not stand onions but when I have eaten them grilled in animal fries from In-n-out I don't mind them at all.

Typical Day of my life

There are many things I do in a typical day of my life. The first thing I do is wake up at 6:30 A.M. to get ready for school. After I wake up, I fold my blanket, grab my hair with a scrunchie, put my sandals on then get my phone and walk out to the living room. I grab the clothes I am going to wear from the center table I laid down the night before and make my way to the bathroom. I wash my face with water then I apply my facial cleanser. I start to brush my teeth and then I use mouthwash. Once I finish brushing my teeth, I take off the facial cleanser and then clean my face with a towel. I quickly change into my clothes, then I wash my hair in the bath. I then fix my hair with mousse and hairspray. My hands are sticky so I wash them with soap. I apply my moisturizer before I do my makeup, which is just putting mascara and eyeliner. I head back to the living room and I sit down on the couch to put on my shoes. I am now finished so I get the clothes I was wearing before I changed, my sandals and makeup bag to go put it away. After I put my things away, I grab my perfume bag and spray myself. I make my way to the kitchen eat a breakfast burrito, then when I finish I got back to the bathroom apply lotion on my hands and arms, then I put my rings on. I grab my bag, put my water bottle inside my bag, tell my mom good-bye have a nice day, then I get inside the car and on my way to school to see what awaits me.

Favorite Season

My favorite season would definitely have to be fall. I like fall because for some reason at some point during Fall there is a combination of the other seasons. During the beginning of fall there as still sunny, warm days; days warm enough to go swimming. Then in the middle the leaves start turning colors and the trees look beautiful. Reds, oranges, and yellows start to line the sky as well as the floor. I rake the leaves in the back yard and then my brother and I run or jump through them.Fall is also the time I start getting back into soccer or in other words start getting back into shape. Then around the end of fall it starts getting cold. Some days are dark and gloomy. On theses days I love watching movies with my family. I cover myself with blankets to keep warm and then ironically eat ice cream. Fall is a medley of all the other season and I love it. I love the change in weather at times and the wind picking up.

Brothers and Sisters

Brothers and sisters fighting is not a new topic of discussion. It is more likely than not that if you have a brother or a sister, you have fought with them at least once. However, the limit to the fighting is very important. Like I said most brothers and sisters fight, but they also forgive each other usually within minutes and move on. They do not even have to apologize to each other, they just act like nothing happened and it is forgotten. However, there are brothers and sister who take their sibling fights to another level. These types of fights last for years and years and can end up in the destruction of a happy family. Sibling rivalry is completely understandable but how you handle that situation can either build a sibling relationship or cost you a sibling. For example, my dad and my sister have not talked to each other for over two years, and this gets my mom worried and stressed. I do not know if this will last forever, but hopefully it gets solved soon so that we can all be united as a family.

State Of The Art Computer

 Maya has been saving money for 2 years in order to buy a brand new state of the art computer. He thought he needed to replace his old computer and upgrade it. He had been having his computer for ten years. It was a Saturday morning when Maya decided to go to Best Buy, and then he started looking around where the computers and laptops were at. He was looking carefully at the details. You have to know the number of gigabytes, the brand kind and many other things. Maya asked one of the people working there to help him out chose a computer. Giovanni, the sale's person, said he recommended a Windows based PC with monitor. He told him that the memory should have a minimum 1 gigabyte of RAM, but with 2 gigabytes because it will give better performance. He then explained that it is better to have a bigger monitor. The kind of software needed on a computer Giovanni recommended is to get Microsoft Works and a free anti-virus. Once you have all these steps checked you should be fine and ready to purchase your new computer. Maya will be taking a good computer home and his savings of two years will be all worth it.

College Admissions

Most likely the subjects you will be tested on will be English and mathematics. That is an advantage because you know what subjects you will be tested on. If you need any help on any of them you should get tutored so that way you can understand the subject better. Once you get tutored you just have to study until the day you get tested. In this case you will need to get help from everyone or from a study group with other students that will also be taking the college admission test with you.The pressure can turn out to be unbearable and stress might start to overcome your days. All one has to do is follow a couple of steps and passing your college admission exam can be a breeze. You should study for at least for a couple of days before the test. Besides only studying for more help you could also ask someone to help you an explain anything  that is unclear to you, you could also have more sources and not base all your knowledge solemnly on your notes.

Ending A Relationship

For me it would be hard to end a relationship because I have never done that before. I guess it would just be best that you talk truthfully and let the other person know how you feel and just let it all out. Let's just hope that it does not end bad because then you will not want see each other not even by painting. If you are ending a relationship with your girlfriend or boyfriend they usually just stay friends afterwards. If you want it to end well you should not be aggressive about it and just be calm and truthful. Timing is also important when ending a relationship, for example do not break up with someone hours before a big final exam or on their birthday. That would be too devastating. Wait it out for a little while and do it at an appropriate time. However, do not force yourself to be in a relationship for a long period of time. That would be a lie and you would be unhappy. You must be prepared to explain why you are ending the relationship to your significant other. You can not just say it is over and not explain why. Your significant other deserves to know why you have made the decision to call it quits.

How to make a new friend

You can normally make a new friend in any setting. You have to keep your mind open for signs that someone wants to befriend you. You usually look for signs like if a person smiles or makes eye contact. To me this is the key because you cannot go up to someone who is angry. That will be a very terrible mistake, trust me! If you get a good intuition about someone, smile and introduce yourself. Begin to make a conversation with them about something general like 'what is your name?' or 'where are you from?'. Usually if that goes well that is a good sign. Begin to share some details about yourself with the person. They will see that you are comfortable talking about it and maybe they will share some details about themselves with you.

Favorite Game

My most favorite game is Football. It is a world famous game.
Football is such a popular game that it is played even in the most remote corner of my country. People walk long distances to watch a football match. Even old people enjoy watching this game.
To play this most interesting, I go to the field near my house  where my friends wait for me every late afternoon. My friends also love this game very much. We play until dark.
But it is a very hard game. It requires a lot of strength to kick the ball. They must also be skillful in controlling the ball. All this makes the game a difficult game indeed. Playing football however help us healthy and active.
I shall always love this game.

Prejudice

The word prejudice is most commonly used to refer to a preconceived judgment toward a people or a person because of race, social class, gender, ethnicity, age, disability, political beliefs, religion, sexual orientation or other personal characteristics. It also means beliefs without knowledge of the facts and may include "any unreasonable attitude that is unusually resistant to rational influence." There are alot of people who are prejudice towards other. It is wrong to do this. They should never judge a book by its cover. Prejudice is also caused by the result of parenting. Sometimes parents hand down their prejudice towards certain people to their children. Their children then become prejudice and the cycle continues.

Impulse buying

When a person is this way, they spend a lot of money. A person will continue to buy and buy more things eventually. Some people tend to do this because they feel the need to feel good about themselves, or either because they feel they have to have everything they see that they want. In some occasions, people just buy things to be up with the fashion designs. It becomes out of control and eventually they will have alot of bills to pay.  One cause of impulse buying can be related to a person's emotions. When some people get mad or sad they usually cry. However, other people try to mask that pain by shopping. They buy whatever is available without even thinking or planning to buy it. Impulse buying usually starts with little things. When an impulse purchase is made it could often lead to financial difficulties depending on the item , family dissaproval, or feeling guilt or dissappointment. Impulse buying is only a desired item, it is not a reasonable purchase and we do not hink about the details of buying when we are drawn to the item.

visitor from another planet

 Air pollution comes from both natural and man made sources. Though globally man made pollutants come from combustion, construction, mining, agriculture and warfare are increasingly significant in the air pollution equation. Motor vehicle emissions are one of the leading causes of air pollution. Another form of pollution comes from factories where they make things such as chemical plants, coal-fired power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, nuclear waste disposal activity, incinerators, and large livestock farms. Agriculture causes pollution as well because farmers spray pesticides and herbicides and also clear felling and burning of natural vegetation. Pollution is bad and it is harming our planet.Air pollution makes the air unhealthy and dangerous. Air pollution is also responsible for the damege that is done to the ozone layer. There are other types of pollution such as water pollution, land pollution, and many more.

Computers

Without a computer there are many things as we would not be able to do. Some of the things that most people would not be able to do would be to research things on webs such as Google and Yahoo. We need to research for school projects and also just for personal information in case someone wants to know about something. Not alot of people would know. Without computers modern life wouldn't have all these benefits. We wouldn't be able to type a paper for a class except on a typewriter. Our papers would come out with a lot more mistakes because there would be no spelling check. Computers have also become essential to students. Students no longer have to go directly to the library to get any research they might need for a project instead they can find mostly everything they need with a computer. Computers are not only used by companies and students ,but also but everyone else.

Good Driver

Before you are able to drive legally you have to take certain tests. If you do not pass the test you will not be able to drive at all until you pass them. You have to also be able to have control of the wheel and not be nervous while driving. A person has to be fully aware of their surroundings and pay attention to everything. As of behavior, a person has to be in a good mood to drive. If someone is feeling mad or sad it is possible that they might crash and have an accident becasue they will be worried about their situation. You have to be in a positive attitude to drive. It is good to follow all the rules when driving. If you are going to make a turn to either the right or the left, put your signal. Also a good driver would always follow the all the right things when it comes to driving. They will obey all the rules and make sure that they are being safe drivers while they are behind a driving wheel.

Favorite Performer

Jenni Rivera was born July 2, 1969 is a Mexican-American singer, better known for her work within the banda and norteña music genres. She's been active in the music scene since 1992 and her recordings include many topical songs and material dealing with social issues, infidelity, and relationships. Her parents were Mexican migrants who raised Jenni and her four brothers  in a tight-knit musical household. While still in high school she became pregnant with the first of her five children, and eventually married the child's father, José Trinidad Marín. She is my favorite performer for the fact that she speaks her mind just like i do.

Pride

When you are proud of your work it makes the assignment or project worth while because you get to be proud of yourself. Being proud of your work is important because it is the whole reason one works for. If we put effort, time, and dedication to one's work we would feel good about the outcome of our work. But if we did not put any effort into our work we would not do our best and not really think of it as important to us. We will feel forced to complete the work and not take it seriuosly.

Diversity

There is a diversity in humans, flowers, animals, colors, and many other amazing things that live or are found on this planet. When I hear the world diversity, the word different comes to my mind. Everywhere you look you will find diversity. Having diversity among us is very beautiful because we get to see different things. There are many things out there we see every day and also many other things that we are yet to discover. Every person is diverse, there are no two people alike. It would be boring if there was no diversity.However diversity is not only limited to race or color. Diversity can also be used to describe music. There is a wide range or variety of music and music classifications that would make diversity appropriate for describing music. There is rock music, classical music, pop music, rap music, techno music and much more.

cooperation

What cooperation means to me is that when you are placed in a group to do an assignment or when you might need the help of someone that group or person will be here to help you. In group assignments it is everyone responsibility to do a part of the assignment, this way the assignment will be finished in time and everyone will receive a grade because they put effort in the assignment. If certain people from the group did not want to do their part of the assignment then the assignment would be delayed, it will take more time to complete the assignment, and more work will be put on the other group members because they will now have to complete extra work. Now the group will no longer receive an appropriate grade because not everyone cooperated in fulfilling their tasks. This like in many cases cooperation plays a major role in the assignment. People are giving certain tasks and are expected to complete them, but if they do not complete them they have now put more work upon the other group members and may have jeopardized their assignment. This is why cooperation is important to me.

Communication

 Communication was around twenty years ago but the major change has been in the improvement of the technology used. Cell phones were available twenty years ago but they were big and clunky. Now a days they are slim. One of the major differences in cell phones back then to cellphones now is that we now have touch screens. We can actually work a phone and make a call without having to push big buttons. All we have to do is press the screen and everything works with the touch of your fingers. Another major revolutionary improvement in technology is text messaging. It has become very popular. Text messaging allows you to talk with another person in seconds without having to make a call. There are also bluetooths which allow you to talk on the phone without having to use your hands.
Computers have also drastically improved. They have become sleeker and smaller yet retain much more information and even work faster. Social networks have developed which allow you to chat with your friends and post up status' on what is going on in your life. It is another way of communicating without a phone. Communications continue to change even as we speak.

Techniques

A method they can use to make their job more effectively would be to always have their students occupied on an activity that is fun, but also about learning. The teacher should balance it out so that the students will be able to enjoy the subject. It would also be a great idea to give out prizes or rewards when they accomplish their assignment correctly and neatly. When I become a teacher I will do the same. A teacher should also always use visuals to help out the student understand the subject better. Teachers should also have some form of discipline in order for the students to behave like they should in class. Most of the students nowadays do not behave properly in class and they disrespect the teacher by talking while the teacher is talking. Some of the students even have the nerve to talk back to the teacher. They should make the classroom rules clear to the students. Another thing that would help is that if they have a long lesson for the day, they should do half of it and then let the students take a five to ten minute break.

Conveniences

When someone has conveniences at the palm of their hand they do not require to do any work in order to receive that convenience. You will become accustomed to not having to do any effort in order to receive something, you will expect to have the conveniences whenever you demand them. Conveniences can also be a positive thing because say if someone is having a bad day or something is going wrong, a convenient can make the situation better. With a convenience you day can go from being horrible to not so bad after all, and it's all thanks to the convenience. Conveniences are both negative and positive, but in my opinion you can turn a negative convenience into a positive.

fame and Fortune

Some people have achieved fame just by doing something unimaginable. There are reasons why someone who has fame and fortune might change their life. One of those reasons might be that they are so famous that everyone might know them and this can cause a major controversy in their life. This can also lead them to a world where they will get lost and start doing drugs and alcohol. Another habit they might get is that they will party everyday and they will not care about anything only about themselves. On the other hand, there are those that get affected in a good way because they will give to charities and support causes for those that are in need of a helping hand. In some cases it might be that a famous person was once poor and lived in the street, but then they become famous and they become filthy rich and live in a mansion and own various properties and cars. It might also affect them physically and mentally.

Environmental Problem

Air pollution is a major threat to the health of people as well as the planet in general. People, especially children can acquire asthma from air pollution. Air pollution makes the air that surrounds you dangerous and unhealthy.  As for the planet, air pollution is responsible for the damage done to the ozone layer.
I believe immediate action must be taken to help spare lives from air pollutant related diseases and make the planet a better place to live in. As previously stated air pollution is cause by both humans and by nature. There is nothing we can really do to stop the natural pollutants, such as wildfires, except to do our best and try to put out the fires as fast as possible. I think factories need to find a way to produce material in a way that doesn't require them to create so much smoke and fog. Cars and buses need to be replaced by hybrids or remodeled to emit as little pollution as possible.

Public Health Concern

A public health concern I believe is serious enough to warrant immediate attention is HIV/STD’s.People do not take it seriously and decide not to use protection while having sexual intercourse. They are putting their lives at risk. They do not notice it when they are doing it at the moment, but once they find out they have HIV/STD’s they will regret not protecting themselves while they engaged in any sexual activity. When teenagers are in high school, they should get educated about sex so they can know more about it. Some teenagers do not know anything and go ahead and engage in sexual intercourse. I myself have not yet been informed by any adult but I have heard things and I am informed a bit.

Reality Shows

Keeping up with the Kardashians, Jersey Shore, Bad Girls Club, Teen Mom, World of Jenks, and the list goes on and on. They are reality shows that are shown on famous T.V. programs. Shows that entertain us and show their “supposedly” everyday lifes. For all we know it could be all script.
Its clear that what their trying to do is entertain us. And by us watching their shows they make money. The truth behind reality shows is that its all business. By them making their life crazy and wild they grab peoples attention. The more views the program has the more money they make.
I strongly disagree that reality shows make good television. Sometimes shows expose too much. A small kid might be watching them and get examples from the. And in the future their path might end up going a whole different direction just because of that television show. While people sit at home watching shows they are just making them rich. While they could be making money or finding a job their at home wasting time.
I would consider good television shows that teach us something like national geograhics, history channel, or animal planet. Informs us about real life and we are able to learn stuff about everyday life.
Shows that don’t teach us anything, in my opinion aren’t worth watching. We have to watch shows that would give us knowledge and be ready to answer any question in the real world. Which the real world is our life. We have to watch shows that would teach us morals.
Jersey shore definitely doesn’t do that. It just deals with alcohol, sex, fights, money, cars, tanning, and partying. Many would say that is “living life” which its not. Real life is nothing compared to that. They party and get money like nothing when in reality to get what you want you have to work for it. So overall I really think that all these reality shows are bad television.

Deepest Fears

My deepest Fear will defineltly have to be failure and not succeding in life. Their are so many obstacles now in days that you never know when you might just fall. But i have learned that if you want to succeed im going to have to work very hard at it. Its very hard but noone said life would be easy. Im pretty sure i can overcome this fear.

Earning money.

There are several ways a person my age can earn money. One way is by helping neighbors water their grass and take out their garbage on the days of pick up. Once they see your helpfulness and kindness, they can reward you with money.Another way can be babysitting. One can babysit the neighbors kids and earn money like that. Or even babysit your own brothers and sisters and your parents can pay you for that.

If I were to be a doctor.....

If i were to be a doctor i would choose to be a childrens doctor. For the fact that i love children and there is nothing better then to see them happy and healthy. Ill make sure that i would be considered the childrens favorite doctor. I would have to check their heartbeat, look inside their ears for any infection, and more. I would make sure to give them the right antiniotic to clear up there flu or anything they have. When leavving ill make sure to give them a sticker or toy for their reward in being good patients.

20 Feet Tall

If i were to be 20ft tall it would be a mission. Their would be more disadvantaged then advantages! I would have to bend own just to get in my house, and other places. I would always have to sit in the back of the classroom to not block peoples view. The advantages would be I would be able to be a basketball player and i would not even have to dunk since im so tall. Or i could play soccer and with my long legs can out run everyone.

A Time I Won Something!

A time I won something was when i was at a carnival and there was a sign that said Eat As Many Watermelons and WIN a prize. I was hungry and what better deal then to get food for free. So I decided to enter the challenge. There were 6 other people competing for the prize. The competition began all of us were eating and eating one threw up and didnt make it. That didnt stop me! I kept on going. Little did i know i was wininng. Time was up and i had completed i won 50$!! I was satisfied and happy!:)

Teenage smoking

when teenagers live in an area where crime, gangs, and violence is prevalent, they might find smoking to be their only way out. Teenagers might also start to smoke because of peer pressure. Teens might come across a group of friends who suddenly won't accept them as part of their group unless they smoke. Scared to become exiled and deemed a loser they feel they have no choice but to smoke to remain in the in-crowd. Another reason is curiosity. Another reason is that their family member s might smoke and see their family as a role model and might begin to believe that smoking is a good thing. Or their family might not be attentive with them and are looking for attention and decide to take up smoking in order to receive that attention. Friends are also a major influence in whether a teenager smokes or not because their friends encourages them that its the "cool" thing that everyone is doing and they should try it in order to be"cool."

Math

Math is one of the important subjects we need to learn about. It is important because in a daily base we use math even though we do not notice it. It is also required if the profession you want to major in requires math. You will find math anywhere and everywhere. You cannot get away from learning math. It is really important that you learn math. Later on in life you will then see why it is really important. It is possible that math can help you save someones life. That is how important math is. Math is not only a subject that is used in your financial part of your life but also because its a subject that's used in all aspects of the daily world.

Foods People Eat

Many people are drawn to foods that are native to their country.People choose the food they eat is because of tradition. In my family, as in most others, it is a tradition to eat turkey during Thanksgiving. Another example of this would be birthday cakes. It is a tradition for many to eat cake to celebrate a birthday. That may not be the only reason for eating cake but it is an example of a tradition.People eats foods to celebrate.

Purposes of the Internet

The reason the internet is so widely used and popular is because you can literally find close to everything on it. The World Wide Web is just as its name states, world wide. You could use it to better improve yourself as well. You could use the internet to find a job. You could even take classes on the internet.
On the other side of the spectrum are the providers. Providers count on the internet to get their information across. News stations count on users to visit and use their site. Advertisers count on users to be persuaded into buying their product. It is just another way to constantly try to get you to buy stuff. For the providers the internet is easy money. Another purpose of the World Wide Web is communication. The internet is a way to reach audiences; it is a way to keep in touch with relatives and friends. You could be talking to someone across the United States and still see their face using a web cam. You could use chatting websites to meet people. It is also a way to communicate events to people. Providers might announce upcoming events and ticket prices.

Change of Plans

Ever been in a situation where your plans took a drastic toll? I have, last week my soccer game had a  game, but due to the weather conditions we had to have a change of plans and cancel the game due to the rain. The team was so excited to play because just before a game we get an adrenaline rush to play and do good. So when we found out that the other game had canceled the game due to weather conditions we were all disappointed. This is one main reason we were dissappointed another was because we believed that the game will be post pone but to our surprise it wasnt. An opportunity to play a game and might have received a chance to win the game was taken away from us.

Ideal Vacation

An ideal vacation to me would be magical and very relaxing. I would like to be near the beach, living in a beach house in Cancun. Every morning I would wake up to see the sun rise. It would be especially wonderful if that one special person was there with me. We would both sit down in the sand, hearing the waves and the sound of the ocean. The sun will set slowly, watching the wonderful colors of the sun. I would go in the water, feeling the waves through my legs. After a while I would go to the sand and build sculptures and bury myself in the sand. As the night is getting near I would build a bonfire. The oceans in Cancun are very clean, which makes it even better. At night I would like to enjoy the night life of Cancun. I would go to the night clubs and dance all night. If I had the chance, I would also drink and get drunk, enjoy my time and forget about my problems. I would also like to get a tour around the city so I can get to know new places.

Obesity

Obesity is a disease that comes with both personal and societal problems.  One of the major personal problems that attack an obese person is the issue of self confidence. Many obese people hate their bodies and thus hate their life. They are extremely insecure and sometimes as a result they depend on food to make them forget about their problems. Such a deep hate toward oneself can lead to depression. Obesity also increases the risk of a heart attack and raises cholesterol levels as well as blood pressure. Society wise, as the amount of obese people increases, the United States is becoming an obese nation. We are becoming an unhealthy America. I believe obesity is a societal problem because society is partly responsible for it. Although all the technology we have is great it is, to a certain extent, negatively affecting Americans. People are giving up more of the time they spent exercising or moving around to stay at home watching television or using the internet. If all these problems and things did not exist, it would be a better world and everyone would be healthy. Obesity would have never existed.

Ulikely Alies

It is likely that if those two people have different ideas, they will not change their ideas. Instead they will find people who have the same thoughts as them because they will be able to share whatever they believe in with them, and also express themselves with full thought. It is possible that they can become to hate each other so much because they have different ways at viewing things. If I was in a situation like that, I would stay away from that person and try not to make any contact at all. I am an nice person, but if it comes to this I guess I will come out of my shell and stand up for what I believe in. In that case, for this reason that is why segregation exists. You see it everywhere, at schools, at stores or even your own community. I agree that it is bad because when younger kids see this they will grow up to be the same way, and this will eventually happen in each generation of kids.

Outdoor Living

Life in the city is surrounded by honking cars and the voices of hundreds of people talking at once. In contrast, life outdoors is surrounded by peaceful silence and the whisper of the wind. Occasionally you even get to hear the echoes of animals talking.  Living in the city, one gets use to smelling gasoline residue from cars or intoxicating cigarette smoke from smokers, but in the outdoors all you smell is fresh clean air. Outdoor life is a great way to get away from stressful situations. It is a great way to clear your mind.  It puts you in a secluded area, kind of like your own world. Disadvantages include the fact that you might sometimes get lonely. Also, if you are not the outdoorsy type you might not like the natural atmosphere. However, I believe that the nature aspect that comes with the outdoors is one of the best parts. If you are so accustomed to city life and enjoy it, I definitely recommend you at least visit the outdoors every once in a while. Maybe you could rent a cabin out there and take a break from “the hustle and bustle” of city life. One of the best benefits of the outdoors is the scenery. In the city you are lucky if get to see one star. In contrast, in the outdoors you see millions.After expierencing the outdoor life maybe then you would take into consideration of visiting the outdoor life more often, or maybe even plan to move out of the city and into the outdoor living.

Afternoon with Family Member!

If I could spend one afternoon with one of my extended family memberss I would definetly have to choose my grandmother. I have only met my grandmother once and i really didnt felt close to her. I was 8yrs old and was only with her for 1 week. I would like to get to know how she is, how she got to know my grandpa and all of that. I feel that we would have a great time. :)  

The Moon!

If i had the opportunity to visit the moon i would totally go. Explore everything there is to know about the moon. It would be a great opportunity to face my fear of heights. I would like to visit it for the reason that i would want to float while up their. I would also want to see everything from up there and take a look how the night looks and see all the stars. And in the day see how the moon hides and lets the sun come out.

Whipe Out!

If i was to be on a game show it would definetly have to be whipe out. It is so funny. Well when i'll be going through the challenge and the machines would be hitting me it wont actually be funny. But i know for a fact I would have alot of adrenaline running through my body. And adrenaline is the best thing. Later i would look back at the video and just get a laughter out of myself:D

Baby Dragon!

Once upon a time in a far away farm lived Earl the baby drago. He lived with all sort of animals from pigs to cows to horses. All of the other animals treated him bad. Earl felt like the blacksheep. Alot of the animals had their own duty at the farm. He wanted to prove to them that he was part of the farm as well. So one early morning he got up and did all the animals chores he finished right in time before they woke up. When they woke up they were all amazed. They founf out that it was Earl and thanked him. They then knew he really did want to fit in. After that they all bonded and bacame great friends. :)

My Home!

What i like best about my home is that its my home. I am free to do anything from burping to walking bear foot. I could change the chanell on my television whenever i want to. I could shower whenever i want to as long as i want to. I can open my refrigerator as many times and grab as much food as i desire. Its my home and i have the ability to do anything!:)

Four Years Ago!

Four years ago I was 12yrs old. Back then i wasnt able to go out places like the places i go out now. Now im able to go to my friends house, go to parties, go to the movies,beach, park, concerts, and sleepovers. Also now im able to play soccer. When i was 12yrs old i didnt even know how to kick a ball. Now i kick and drop players! Their disadvantages and advantages of being older no. The advantage is that one has more frredom now and the disadvantage is that one has more stress and cant escape problems how we use to when we were little.

Monkey as a Pet!

I think if i was to have a monkey for a pet it would br great. They are so cute and addorable. I'll take him to school, teach him how to be funny like me, and everything. I think it'll be a good pet to come around. It would bring the house laughters and full of joy. i would name my monkey shweezybeeleezy! When going to the mall I'll hide him in my purse and we would shop together and have the best time ever.

Youngest Person

The youngest person i know is my little nephew Charles. He is so cute but a trouble maker. He is selfish and always wants it his way. Every morning he wakes everyone up and runs around like a crazy loonatic! He takes the longest naps which is a good thing. He would go to sleep at 12 noon and wake up till 6PM. When he wakes up he is the crankiest littke boy ever and cries like their is no tomorrow. But no matter what i still love him.

My Room

If my parents were to let me paint my own room the colors of my wall would be light blue and white. I would paint a paradise with palm trees and water everywhere. I would add a little bit of orange, red, and yellow for the sunset. It would be a soothing image just to walk in everyday to my room and see such an amazing painting.

The Bat Who Couldnt Fly!

One night on a rainy day Joey the bat was very hungry. He was determined to find some food even if it was cold and windy. He knew he couldnt fly so he had to find other ways to get food. It was going to ba a challenge since it was cold and he dint know how to fly. He called his friend robert and asked him if he could go get him some food. His friend said yes if he went with him. So Joey thought with his head and covered himself with a plastic bag and got on top of his friend. They were flying all over the place and finally got food.

Lunch with Espinoza Paz

If i could have lunch with a famous person it would have to be Espinoza Paz. I would chhose him because i feel we would have alot to talk about. He is humble person and i think we would have alot in common. I would ask him to sing love songs to me and i would sing along with him. I'll ask him all sorts of questions. I would even ask him some personal questions. I'll make sure to learn alot from him and where he comes from. We'll go to a real Mexican restaurant and eat all we can till our pants pop. we would share alot of laughters. And we would take alot of pictures but funny ones.

My Sisters

I have 2 sisters, by the names of jenipher and tatiana. We tend to fight ALOT! I would consider myself closer to Jenipher the 14 yr old. Jenny is a very aggresive person, she has attitude and moodswings all the time and just a bad temper. Theres times where we get along pretty cool, we laugh. talk, and share stuff with each other. When we get into an argument its on! We talk mess about each other and are very stubborn. We break it off when it comes to her needing something from me or me needing something from her. Tatiana is the same but has way more attitude. She likes things her way and expects thingd to be done when she asks. We fight cause i cant take that and she gets mad but oh well. I would say its tough love :)

My Pet

If i could have any animal as a pet i would pick a chimp. For the fact that they are cute and fun to play with. Ill take him everywhere i go. Ill put him a diaper and give him a bottle so he could be able to drink his milk. I'll make sure to play with him, take him to the park,get on the slides, and everything. At night I'll make sure he showers, brushes his teeth, uses the bathroom, and cuddle with him in bed. I'll treat him just like i would treat a baby.

My Journey On A Pirate Ship!

Once upon a time in the blue sea of the Bahamas lived a pretty young women on a pirate ship named Valerie. Her friends and her were on the look out for evil pirates that stold golf from them. Bobbie, Valeries best friend was in charge of controlling the ship. Victor was the bod builder, working out his muscles getting ready to fight anyone. Then there was Kenny, the computer freak he made sure to track down the evil pirates by computer and detect where are they. As the ship and the creqw was sailing north Kenny spoted a ship with a skeleton bodies everywhere. Kenny raned to Valerie and told her he spoted the ship. She immediately told all her friends, got her equipment, and sneeked into the boat. They were able to get away with it, grabbed the gold but then got caught. Victor got his knife out and got rid of them. At the end they got their gold and enjoyed it.

deepest fear!

My Own Restaurant!

If i was to have my own restaurant it would be called OFF THE HOOK. I would have all types of food served their. From crab to pupusas to sushi. I would have all my friends work their. Like Erika,Ingris,Yvette,Vianca,Lizet, Shawn and more. the girls would wear very small shirts and shorts. Which would attract more customers which means more money. The guys would wear some nice beach shorts and thats about it. My restaurant would me located in Miami by the beach. I would make sure i serve alot of my favorite alcohol beverages.

Theres A Dinosaur In My Backyard!?

One day as i was waking up from a goodnight sleep i get up and go straght to my bathroom to brush my teeth and my face. As im washing my face i turn to the indow and see a dinosaur in my backyard. At first i thought i was illusionating so i washed my face for the second time but then i looked clearly and it was real. I quickly reacted! I put on my shoes and ran to the backyard. I aproached the dinosaur with feear. He seen me come out and slowly started walking close  to me then he rubbed his face on my shoulder and smiled. I then knew he was friendly. I asked him a question and he clearly responded me by talking. I was amazed we then became great friends. I no longer needed a car he was my transportation.

Cooking For My Family

If I could cook any meal for my family i would cook chicken with lemon on top and seasoning, then pop it in the oven till its crispy from the sides and juicy from the inside. For side dishes I would make mash potatoes with small scallion pieces on top,next to that would be a caesar salad with tommatoes, lettuce, and coutants on top with a spread of ranch. Then I would cook red rice and pinto bean. And when the chickens done I would add a nice chipotle sauce on top of it. For desert i would get a chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream to the side and fudge on top, that would be my family meal.

If I Had A Hundred Dollars!!

If i had a hundred dollars i would give it away to my dad. My dad has never really received a gift from us. He always does everyting in the house as in pay bill, buy my sister and i clothes, buy stuff for the house, and buy food. i would give him those hundred dollars so he could buy anything he wants and let him enjoy the money.

Do You Remember?

Do you Remember when you drowned at a swimming pool? Well i do i remember it very clear! It was the summer of 09' when my friend ingrid invited me to wild rivers. She anted to go on a slide and it drops you in a 7ft pool! When i seen it I was like i could handle this, swimmimg is not all that hard. So i get to the top of the slide not knowing what was in stores for me and the lifeguard asked me, " do you know how to swim"? i said yes even though i didnt. She said go when your ready I went and got dropped all the way drowning. I seriously thought i was going to die. i was really scared. Then got saved right away from a life guard. Hoping for him to give me CPR but good thing he didnt wasnt all that cute :)

there was something about the way he....

There was something about the way he looked at me for the very 1st time we met. he gave me a deep stare and a smile that melted my heart. there was something about the way he kissed me, the butterflies in my stomache were out of control. there was something about the ways he hugs me holding me tight enough letting me know he doesnt want to let go. there was something about the way he makes me feel when im around him making me feel safe and comfortable. There was something about the way he makes me lauh so hard that i would be on the floor.There is something about him that just drives me crazy :)

When i wake up...:)

When i wake up i wake up kind of grumpy!! Knowing that i have to wake up early and take a shower in a cold weather just to go to school. When i wake up my hair is all over the place. i look all beat upp with mascara and eyeliner spread all over my eyes. I also wake up with very puffy eyes making me look like a fish. As soon as i wake up im like stuck on stupid and have no clue of what im saying or doing.

The first thing i want in the morning.....

The first thing i want in the morning is a big breakfast meal with a large cup of something cold to drink :) Every morning i wake up very hungry but most of all very thirsty. Its like i dream that im in a desert with no food or water . i get up and quickly go to the kitchen and cook myself fluffy and soft pancakes, with sausages, and sunny side eggs!! By the way are the best eggs ever :) And to dring i serve myself a cold cup of grape juice with alot of ice and a cup of ice with  milk for my pancakes i can not eat my pancakes with out milk. :)

Super Power

I think if i was to have the chose of choosing a super power it would have to be the ability to fly for the fact that i would be able to travel anywhere in the world. Ill be able to feel free and fly at night and feel the fresh air running through my body and removing any stress away.

One thing im really good at!

I would consider myself to be very good at giving massages. Im very good at it well my friends and family tell me i am.

favorite season

Every season has a differnt type of weather, from hot to cold. my favorite season is the summer. durring the summer i love going bike riding to the beach on my beach cruiser and feeking the hot air and getting that perfect tan. i also enjoy the suamer for the fact that i get to wear shorts which are my favorite qnd going to the beach with my friends. another great thing about the summer is that we dont attend school since we are in vacation so everyday were out with our friends having fun and finding new adventures and memories to create

I am poem

i am friendly and funny
i wonder how would i look when im older
i hear music playing
i see shawn looking at me
i want a kiss in the rain
i pretend to be a billionaire

i touch the fluffy clouds
i worry that my hair doesnt grow
i cry because my dog died

i say believe in medusa
i dream about becoming successful
i try to be patient
i hope for happiness
i am friendly and funny
