My Ideal Vacation

If someone were to ask me what my ideal vacation would be I wouldn't even know where to start. There are so many places that I would like to explore and just have a great time their but as I put some thought into my ideal vacation I realize that what a better vacation then spending it near the beach! Then, as I had thought of the place of where I would like to be near I decided to vacation in Mexico at a beach resort because they simply have the most awesome resorts. Cancun! was the first thing that came out of my mouth in a very thrilled tone that it sounded more of a shriek. What better place to spend an ideal vacation than in Cancun by the beach! Just the thought of listening to beach waves clashing onto the shore and the breeze flowing through my hair and feeling the sand massage my feet as I walk upon it. Listening to the birds chirping and singing their glorious melodies. I would just have time to relax and not think about work or anything that stresses me and all I have to do here is have fun and pamper myself of course. Now that will definitely be an ideal vacation for me not having to deal with problems and just have fun and relax and enjoy the beach and the pleasant company of other tourists. Just having the chance to feel the warm, crystal clear light blue water is splashing against my face is wonderful and tasting the saltiness of the see even better. Having the opportunity to encounter nature while being in the city is the best thing because that is very relaxing and soothing to me and breathe taking as well. Now, that would be my ideal vacation to have time to relax, encounter nature, be stress free, and be by the beach!

Obesity

Obesity is a major issue and epidemic facing America today. America is viewed and cataloged us as unhealthy and we have to change this view that the world has upon us. What can we do to change this? Well for starters we should stop making genetically modified food and lower the prices on organic food and raise the prices on fast food restaurants. Another major issue involved with the fact that children and grow ups are obese is for the mere fact that their are fast food restaurants in every corner and donut shops not that far from them as well. With all of the unhealthy food that the Americans consume how are they not going to get obese? When people are obese they develop many other illnesses such as diabetes, liver failure, strokes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and several other health issues. Besides with obese people having to deal with these problems they also have to deal with bullying and taunting and the blame and shame that other people instill upon them. It was not their choice to become obese why should you point a finger when you don't even know their side of the story. Instead of pointing fingers and mocking obese people we should make a stand and make a change in order for our nation to be viewed differently. In order for this to take effect we will definitely need to change our eating habits and in order for some people to start eating healthier food the prices will need to come down first. Every small step makes a huge difference by replacing candy and chocolate with a fruit and a vegetable you will be healthier and will need to exercise at least 30 minutes two to three days a week.

Unlikely Allies

Have you ever heard the saying that "opposites attract"? Well if you haven't and completely disagree with it then I must say that it is completely true. Two people that are completely different can become allies for benefits for each other. For example, one person might have various strong points  and weak points, while the other person's strong points may be the weak points from the other person and their weak points may just be the other person's strong points. With each person having different strong points and weak points they can most definitely work together in order to help each other out. It's the same thing when people have different interests and backgrounds because they can come together and help each other out in a time of need and a need for advice. By cooperating with others no matter their interests and background it can be very beneficiary not only to you but to the other person as well you can share a lot of things and won't have to worry about the other person taking your things if he or she does not like them or are not of their interest. You can open your surroundings and knowledge by interacting with someone who has a completely different taste, interests and background as yourself. You will be less ignorant when it comes to other subjects and things that you probably disliked or simply didn't acknowledge or know of. Also, by putting our differences aside we can survive instead of just fighting all of the time and going against each other for silly things. With us teenagers and grown-ups interacting with one another and cooperating we will teach the children a valuable lesson that they should interact with people even if they are of a different background and have different interests than you. 

Outdoor Living

For those of you that have never experienced the outdoor living because you are a city dweller then I shall tell you that you have missed out on a lot. Yes, the city might be a great place for opportunities, but you must get tired of a daily routine every single day. The city takes care of polluting the world from all of it's inhabitants driving cars and the factories. If you want to have a healthier lifestyle and want a marvelous experience every single morning and nightfall I most definitely recommend for you visit the outdoors once in a while, either taking a jog in the morning or going camping for a day. When you are woken up by the sun's rays hitting your face in the morning is just simply wonderful and getting in touch with nature is even better because your life will be more harmonious. Some activities that you can do while visiting the wilderness can be kayaking, bicycling, running, jogging, hiking, bird watching, etc. There are definitely various activities for you to do that will make your day pleasant. When the sun is about to set you can sit by the side and watch the gorgeous sunset and that will make your night. Then you can camp out under the gorgeous moon surrounded by sparkling stars and clear dark blue sky and fall asleep with the songs of the owls and the other birds and animals from the wilderness. So, I beg you to incorporate the outdoors to your city life because it will change your life and how you feel and even change the decisions you make.

Images In Class Assignment

I see a white lit Eiffel tower  and a very gorgeous sunset with  warm colors such as an orange, pink, dark blue, and a purple sky background. I hear people kissing, flashes from cameras and people contemplating the Eiffel tower and the traffic passing by. The picture gives me a sense of serenity and calmness. It inspires me to go travel and to bring happiness to my life! I can taste the French Cuisine  and the thick smoke in the air from the cigarettes and the cars. 

Is Bullying an Issue That Should Be Addressed?

Prompt #36: Elementary and secondary schools around the country are beginning to actively address the problem of bullies. In your opinion, is bullying an issue that should be addressed by schools or left to parents? Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
            Many people seem to acknowledge various problems in the country such as immigration, getting an education, taxes, etc. All of these are very important issues that should be looked upon, but bullying is another very important issue that should be as equally acknowledged as the others. It has barely started to get more recognition and commenced to be addressed by schools and the public, which was something that it lacked a while ago. This issue was just looked upon by parents if their child was the one being bullied and looked the other way if their child was the bully. Bullying is a problem that is affecting everyone in the world and should be taken more seriously, one small incident such as bullying might seem insignificant, but it can change the victim’s life forever. Therefore, I do believe that everyone should take action to this issue rather than just parents.
            Many students throughout the ages have suffered and undergone bullying and couldn’t get that much help or felt that they were alone and decided to bottle up all of their feelings. With the person being bullied not having anyone to talk to they might come to the point of wanting to take their life away for not having the need to be in this world any longer. Now, if schools and everyone in general addressed the problem of bullying all of the victims can be helped and will have someone to talk to when they feel that they have had enough and cannot go on anymore. By showing support to the person being bullied they will give them a motive to continue on with their life and show them that they are great just the way they are and that they will succeed in life no matter what and of course that they are not alone.
            A big problem with bullying is that many bullies don’t realize the trauma that they cause to their victims. They end up scarring them for life by the actions that they have done. An example of bullying is of children and even adults mocking and pushing around the people that prefer a different sexuality. The bully goes on to offend the person by name calling such as “faggot” or “gay”. With these names being thrown and pinned upon the other person they feel that they are superior and better than the victim and the victim feels depressed and that he/she may be different and that something is wrong with them. The victim being called these names may feel that they have failed their families and may want to commit suicide, because they may feel that they have nothing to live for. In my opinion this is very wrong and we should teach our children otherwise than to bully. Everyone is different and special in their own way and no matter what they decide to do or even their sexual preference; they should not be judged and criticized for it and more the less bullied.
With the name calling and bullying many children and adults have taken their own lives and I’m pretty sure we all have heard of these news stories all throughout September 2010.  We most definitely don’t want any of these stories to be repeated anymore and we should not stand for bullying any longer! With the schools addressing this major issue it will most definitely resolve various problems with the children and can shape them into better adults so they won’t be ignorant when it comes to bullying.

Is Genetically Modified Food a Good Idea?


What is more important to us as Americans and as human beings, our health or saving money?  If you were to be offered an all-natural food or a genetically modified food, which would you chose? Many people solemnly base a decision of that source by simply comparing prices, deciding which one has more zest and of course the size of the food. What many consumers don’t know is that most of the time the genetically modified foods are bigger and usually cheaper than the organic ones and decide to go with the genetically modified foods, not knowing that they are not healthy. In my opinion I believe that genetically grown foods are a good idea for making money but not a good idea as well because they cause a lot of health issues.
            With a recession occurring right now many people go for what’s cheaper no matter what the health risks or issues may be. For example, people decide to eat fast food rather than to buy organic food, because of the price difference. Since they cannot afford to feed their whole family by buying organic food they choose whatever fuels them for the whole day and what’s cheaper. By making such decisions throughout their lifetime and if they continue with bad eating habits their lives will be cut short due to obesity and diabetes, and they will be exposed to various other health issues. This will be due to the fact that the genetically modified foods are not good for you and because they are made with a lot of chemicals that we don’t even know of or heard of ever before. Therefore, the genetically modified foods are a very bad idea that has set our society back a couple of steps because most Americans are obese and hardly even care about their health anymore.
            On the other hand, it is considered a good idea business wise, because a lot of money is made. Since the food is genetically modified it tastes better, looks better, and it’s quite affordable for the lower class. With the recession in place everyone is bound to buy fast food no matter what or any food that is cheaper and it’s always genetically modified so they will definitely get money coming their way. With this sort of food we will have more options to choose from and it will make everything a lot easier for those who are struggling, money wise. I agree that when the times are tough you will have no other choice but to settle for what you can afford and if it’s the genetically modified food then by all means go ahead and purchase that sort of food.
            With this big innovation that is the genetically modified food it has at the same time brought us afloat and has brought us down. It has brought us afloat in the matter that it’s helping out the economy by money circulating and being invested and it has brought us down by cutting our lives short due to either diabetes or obesity.  If you have the money to buy organic food then you should definitely in my opinion buy it rather than the genetically modified food because of all the health risks it pertains. Why be unhealthy when you have the choice and resources to be healthy? On the other hand if all you can afford are genetically modified foods then simply just remember to be moderate with the portions and to balance your diet with a lot of exercise.

Is the U.S. the Best Country In the World?

Many people don’t like the lifestyle from their native country so they decide to immigrate to a foreign country in which they believe they will have a better life. That’s why many people immigrate to the United States because they believe that it is better than their native country. In fact, many people believe that the United States is the best country in the world. If you were to choose in which country to live in which would you pick, your native country or the United States? In my opinion I believe that the Unites States is a marvelous country although, I don’t quite believe that it is superior to many other countries.
            Many people decide to move to the United States because people speak so highly of it so they come to America with a high expectation and demand certain treatments. Immigrants come from their native countries in order to obtain a decent job, so that they will be able to sustain their family. Most of the immigrants that arrive in the United States find themselves with a great barrier, which is the language that they speak and of course legal documentation. For those that come to America aspiring a job won’t find it or at least find a decent paying job because they don’t speak English.  Other’s that may be able to understand some English may not be able to find or obtain a good job because they are not legal immigrants. Since, the good paying jobs require for you to have legal documentation the immigrants won’t be able to obtain these jobs.
            Once, the immigrants are here they may find life here harder because of the fact that the United States is very competitive and that immigrants aren’t given legal documentation until years later if given any at all. Does that seem fair at all? If the United States is so great then shouldn’t they do for what they stand for and represent? That I recall America stands for freedom, liberty and being able to live your dream. With all of these promises shouldn’t they help the immigrants that are seeking for a better life if the United States is so great?
The United States should not brag about how great of a country it is if it is unable to see to necessities of others. Also, the United States goes into other countries because this “great” country seems to get richer by sucking the natural resources from other countries such as Iran, Iraq, Mexico, etc. They are being dictators by going to other countries with no good excuse in order to abuse that native country to simply see out for themselves and nobody else. Being greedy and bossy are definitely no good characteristics for a “great” country to do or have. By being a great country you should help out your neighbors and seek for peace instead of wars.
            That is why when immigrants decide to come to the United States or to any other foreign country they should do their research first and not go by what others say of that country. They should not judge a book by its cover and go blind, because they will find a great surprise their and regret ever spending their life savings to go to a country that did not provide any opportunities for them.

My mother used to have...

When my mother was young she used to have a parrot as a pet. My mom told all of my siblings and me how much she cared for her parrot Juanito. She told us that Juanito knew how to talk and every time people would pass by the door he would say "hola" to everyone. Although he also learned some curse words as well and people would always get upset but others laughed at hearing him curse like a sailor and found it amusing. As I grew up the most exotic pet that I had was a very small chihuahua. I just hoped that Juanito hadn't flown away after being with my mother for three years so I would've had the chance to meet him.

The First Thing I Want In The Morning...

The first thing that I want in the morning is a vanilla latte from Starbucks. To think of it's warm  feeling in my mouth and its rich and creamy taste. It feels great waking up in the morning drinking coffee to keep you going throughout the day. I especially yearn for a vanilla latte when it's cold outside and I need something to warm me up. What can I say I love the coffee from Starbucks!

When I wake up...

When I first wake up I look at the time and think just five more minutes. Then after five minutes pass by I get up from bed and do my bed and get dressed. Then I do my hair either in a bun or let down and brush my teeth afterwards. It only takes me maximum ten minutes to get ready because I always shower the night before. After I'm done with my toothbrush and the toothpaste I put those items back where they belong. After I'm done I head out to the kitchen and drink a glass of milk and head out to the bathroom once again to brush my teeth once more and apply sunscreen to my face. After I'm done with those items I put them in their place of origin. Finally I grab my bag and tell my mom that I am leaving and head out the door to go to school.

...do you remember?

Do you remember the game in which the Chivas scored 4-0 to Boca Juniors? It was a glorious day for the Chivas. Scoring that many goals to the first division team of Argentina put the Chivas in everybody's mouth. In that one game the Chivas humiliated the Boca Juniors. The spectators that rooted for the Chivas were very ecstatic that people went out to celebrate and the people of the opposing team were devastated. Some players of the Boca Juniors team were very upset and agitated that one of them spat on one of the players' from Chivas that scored one of the goals. 

Veterinarian

If I could become a doctor I would want to be a veterinarian. The reason is because I love animals. I will have the patience that it takes to care for the animals and to figure out what is wrong with them. I will definitely enjoy working with the animals. I will have to go to some of my patience and in some cases serve as a dentist to certain animals such as horses and mules by not letting their teeth grow too big for their mouth. I will also help animals that are in labor. I would have my own veterinarian clinic in which I will take care of all the animals in need and I will also care for those that need to to drive to where they are located. By being a veterinarian I will be looking forward to my job every single day even on Mondays.

If I Were Twenty Feet Tall

If I were to all of a sudden grow to be twenty feet tall I would be scared. I would be scared because people would view me as a phenomenon and would want to shove me in a laboratory and study me. Although it might be cool because I would be freakishly tall and people will not be able to physically hurt me and I will be able to see from a far. I may not be tall but I am very satisfied with my height if i grow at least an inch more than it's fine but gosh I would never want to be 20 feet tall!

Something I Am Good At

One of the things that I am very good at is helping others get ready for a special occasion. I always pick out the clothing that best goes along with the event. I even help my mom, aunt, and my brother pick out their clothing. I enjoy doing this because I like it when people look nice and presentable. I got interested in clothing at the tender age of five. Seeing my mother in fabulous fabrics and in high heels and by watching the actresses and actors on television as well.

My Sandwich

The sandwich of my choice will have scrambled eggs with bacon, ham, and sausage in the egg as well. The bread will be toasted with mayonnaise on them and with ketchup as well. I will also add green peppers to the sandwich and any other vegetable that seems edible to me. On the side of the dish I will have some baked potatoes that are cut into small cubes. I will also add some ketchup on the side of the plate so that I can dip my sandwich and my baked potatoes to the ketchup.  

The Time I won Something

I remember being in elementary school on the verge of culminating to middle school. During my sixth grade year I won a trophy for the best female athlete. Just as I am now, I was very competitive and  always tried my best in order to win whatever sport I played. Thanks to my great effort I was recognized and won that trophy. It also helped having participated in the school Olympics in almost every event that they had and winning most of them.

Superpowers

If I had any superpower that I desired I would want the ability to fly. By being able to fly I will be able to go everywhere I desire. I won't have to get my driver's licence and worry about renewing it! I will be able to go back and forth without waisting any gas and spending money on the gas. With this ability I will be free to go and do what I want and when I want.

An Afternoon With an Extended Family Member

If I were to spend an afternoon with an extended family member I would choose my cousin Magali Reynoso. I decided to choose her because every time that we are together we enjoy talking and just being together catching up. It doesn't matter what we end up doing or if we simply do nothing at all because we will still end up having a good time.
Magali and I share same interests so we definitely get along and can pretty much do whatever we want with no arguing for what we want to do. We would definitely go to the mall, and then out to eat or just watch a movie.

Visit the Moon

I would love to visit the moon in any moment of my life. If I were ever presented with the opportunity to take a visit to the moon I just can't deny it! It will be a thrilling and exciting experience to go to the moon. Going to a place that we can only dream of seeing from earth and having the opportunity to actually stand on it and jump on it I would definitely not reject it. I would also love the fact that you would weigh less on the moon and that gravity doesn't apply on the moon.

Earning Money

Their are several ways a person my age can earn money. All I have to warn them is that they need to be open minded and take whatever they can. One way in which you will be able to earn money will be by watering and mowing your neighbors lawn. You can even offer to take out their trash on the day that the trash is picked up. You might even offer to clean their house and take care of their pets if they own any.
 Another option rather than neighbors is to apply for jobs online or go to the mall and the stores within the mall and apply their. I must say that just because you apply doesn't mean that you already got the job, because you have to go through a interview first.
Another thing that you may be able to do is babysit children from people that you may know. You can even serve as a tutor for young children in your community or you might just want to go small and do your neighborhood first. Being a teen and not having any prior experience it will be difficult for you to obtain a minimum wage job, but never stop trying.

The Baby Dragon

There was once a dragon named Alejandra Guzman that still lived with her parents Margarita Guzman and Pedro Pablo Guzman. Alejandra grew up in her parents ranch in Sunland, CA where she learned to love nature and others as well. She liked to help around with whatever she could even though she had several servants that would do whatever she wanted if she ordered them to. She also loved to go flying just like her father. She was very close to her father because she shared many of his likings beside hunting.
            She always liked to play outside and be active and enjoyed taking walks towards the creek that was further down than the corrals, because she found it to be relaxing. Once, when she was outside near the creek just sitting on a rock, an asteroid fell from outer space, close to where she was. Her hair became short and blond. As she was walking back home she could hear a lot of voices but didn’t see anyone in site and when she came across others she could still hear the voices, but their mouths weren’t moving. That’s when she realized that she was reading people’s minds. 
 This happened to her when she was only four years old. She hadn’t realized that she had more powers until the day she accidentally cut herself while cutting the ropes from the haystacks. She noticed that the cut was deep and began to make way towards the ranch for a first-aid kit. When she looked at her wound again, she noticed that the bleeding had stopped. Her wound had instantly healed! She was astonished and decided to go to her room to get some rest. As soon as she set foot in her house she sensed strong and uncomfortable tensions that were coming mostly from her father Pedro Pablo. She decided to stay hidden and try to figure out what it was that her parents were talking about. She suddenly remembered about her mind reading powers and decided to put them to use. She found a horrible truth about a business that her father was doing with his business associate Juan Plasencia. She found out that Juan ripped him off with nearly half a million dollars! She was really frustrated, because there was nothing that anyone can do to fix that. Not even the police because he had planned everything carefully so he wouldn’t get caught.
One day while they went on a family trip to the forest she accidentally managed to hear Juan’s thought deeper in the forest, so she decided to go and find out what that crook was doing there. As she got there she witnessed Juan murdering a man that apparently thought it was enough with what they both had and shouldn’t steal anymore. She got really upset and caught up in the moment that in the blink of an eye she obliterated Juan! She was surprised of how she had done it, but then realized that she had energy sourcing. Energy sourcing was that she could draw power from abundant sources of energy into physical blasts.
When she reached the age of 18, Alejandra decided that she was old enough to go and move to New York. She wanted to go and study law in Columbia University. Her father also thought that sending her abroad would be the best idea so that she could get the best education she can possibly want and need. She got accepted to Columbia so her dad bought her a comfy house to live in New York. As she continued to grow she continued to see more injustices so she decided to take matters into her own hands. She used her powers to help the innocent people that were being taken advantage of by the wealthy that were greedy and evil.

Favorite Season

My favorite season of them all I would have to say that it will have to be the summer. I chose this season because of the fact that we are on our summer vacation and won't have to worry about any school work. I can just focus on having fun and relaxing. I will have time to go to the beach and relax and hang out with my friends. During this long vacation I can plan a vacation to a nice warm beach full of young tourists! I love this season because of the fact that it's nice and warm outside and we are able to where nice casual clothes and the sun is simply breathe taking when it's setting. The most important thing is that I won't have to worry about getting sick at all because their will not be any cold weather what so ever!

Game Show

If I had the opportunity to be in any game show that I liked I would pick "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?". I decided to choose this show in order to find out if I was actually smarter than a fifth grader. What is required from me of this show is for me to answer various questions from different topics that are an approximate level of a fifth grader. I will have classmates that will help me if I get stuck on a question but I can't utilize them for more than about three times, so I need to use them wisely. If I am actually smarter than a fifth grader I will have the opportunity win thousands of dollars.

The Best Part of My Home

The best part of my home I would have to say that it's my room. In my room I am free to do as I please and watch whatever I want. There I can simply relax and enjoy some peace and tranquility that I most definitely won't get anywhere else in my home. This is where I get to think when I have an important decision to make. My room is where I usually express myself and get to do whatever I want to it. Well not really anything to my room because if I were to make a hole in the wall my dad would kill me!

Working at a Football Stadium

If I were to work at a football stadium I would be a cheerleader. As a cheerleader i would help support my team by being energetic and by encouraging the crowd to support them as well. I would be full of life and with a big smile on my face. I will chant for my team and be as energetic as possible to help my team win!

Four Years Ago

Four years ago I was thirteen years old. What I am able to remember of what I wasn't able to do at the age of thirteen was drive. Now I drive and use my parents' car in order to get to school and at the moment I also have to worry about what colleges I want to apply to. I will also have to worry about whether or not I will be accepted. Back then I didn't have to worry about any of these things and now I also have to worry about finding a job. I have to start applying to jobs in order to get interviews which was definitely not in my to do list when I was thirteen. Although, I am looking forward for the future and can't wait until I graduate from high school and go to college.

A Monkey as a Pet?

In my opinion I would not want a monkey to be my pet, because they are wild animals. No wild animal can be tamed! Yes they might be calm , but you never know what might trigger them and make them go off on you. Therefore, no wild animal is safe to have as a pet and should be kept where they belong, which is in the wild.

The Youngest Person I know

The youngest person that I know is my cousin Maria Guadalupe Estrada. She is barely nine months old and full of life. Maria has very big round eyes that are dark blue and she is just so adorable and will simply laugh at anything. She hardly ever cries unless she has a dirty diaper or is hungry.
Her hair is golden brown and has straight fine thin hair and already begins to babble. She still has a very delicate smell of baby powder. I just adore when a child smells like a baby! Maria is thin and even though she is premature she is very big for how old she is.

The Oldest Person I Know

The oldest person I know is my grandfather Raul Sandoval. He is 78 years old and he is the most caring and generous person that I have ever met. He is still in good health conditions and is quite sane and an excellent memory. My grandfather is my mothers' father and he lives in Mexico.
His head is covered by grayish black hair and on his face are wrinkles that come from wisdom and two dark brown, sincere knowing eyes. He also has a lot of freckles on his face and a set of grayish eyebrows to go along with his set of hair.
My grandfather is about my height and is the owner of an ice cream parlor and of a disco that is located on the second floor. He still goes to work because he doesn't like being at home and doing nothing at all. He prefers to be in the plaza in his parlor seeing people rather than being stuck at home. I love him so much for being such a hard worker and for being and excellent role model for me.

My Bedroom Artwork

If I were a wonderful painter and I had permission from my parents to paint an artwork on my bedroom walls I would definitely paint wild stallions. The stallions will be running wild out in the open nature and I would paint a creek near by. Near the creek their will be a meadow with lots of bushes and trees surrounding it. On my ceiling I would paint the sky with the colors of purple, pink, white and  orange. I will also paint a sun setting in the horizon.

The Bat Who Couldn't Fly

Brad came from a community of expert flying bats and his family in particular were widely recognized in their community. Unfortunately for Brad the good genes of flying were not passed on to him. He was already old enough to be able to fly, but he wasn't able to do so no matter how hard he tried. He practiced and practiced but still no results of improvement. He was the laughing stock of everyone including his very own siblings and he just felt embarrassed.
One afternoon his brothers' were racing and proving each others' flying abilities, so Brad decided to jump from the highest branch of the tree where they lived and flapped and tried gliding but nothing occurred. He continued to fall even more rapid than before! When all of a sudden when he should have been dead or completely paralyzed due to the impact, he was gliding in the wind! Before he knew it he was so proud of himself and was able to control his wings. He was so happy to finally be able to fly, he learned that patience is valuable and not being able to fly made him humble, instead of being arrogant like his brothers.

Lunch With a Famous Person

If I were to be able to have lunch with one famous person I would choose Shakira. I chose her because she is a very good female artist and I admire her. She is very talented and gorgeous while we were out having lunch I would just have to ask her various questions. Some of the questions that I would want to know is if she comes up with her own choreography, and if she always knew that she was going to be a famous singer and musician? I would also ask her about the donations that she does and if she does any charity at all. I will also have to ask if she is married and if she can help me out with dance steps because I love dancing but not comfortable dancing in front of people. I just know that we will have a great time together.

Oh Brothers'

I have three brothers' and I love them all no matter what. Although, at times they do get on my last nerves, but after all they are my brothers and in their own weird way they love me as well. My eldest brother Isac is 19 years old and is currently attending UC Merced. I must say that he can be nice to me when he wants, but for the most part he is a sweetheart to me and buys me things.
My younger brother Raul is barely nine years old and he is quite annoying! At times I despise him, so I decide to scold him and tell on him when I just can't get him to listen to me. My youngest brother Eduardo is only a year and half and already speaks a lot for his tender age. He is like a little sponge absorbing everything we through at him. I find him so cute and handsome, and he will definitely make you laugh. At first he comes off as shy but if he likes you he will be his normal self and talk to you and do whatever you tell him to do.
To wrap things up I just want to end things by saying that I love my three brothers' and I am sure glad that they are my siblings.

My Pet

If I were able to have any animal as my pet, I would want a horse to be my pet. I would preferably want an Aztec horse that is tamed and I would name my horse Tornado. I would prefer an Aztec horse because they are gorgeous creatures that are light on their feet and if trained properly are able to dance. I personally love this characteristic in this sort of horse. I shall get a professional to tame my horse and teach him how to dance. I will also bathe him whenever he needs it and feed him approximately twice a day. I will not castrate Tornado so that he will be worth more and if I decide to castrate him it won't be until he has reached the age of five or six. I would give the best treatment to my horse so I will have him set up in his own personal stable so that he is comfortable and won't hurt himself. I will also have a personal veterinarian for Tornado so that he/she can take care of all of his needs. Most important of all I will love Tornado with all of my heart. 

My Journey on a Pirate Ship

When my friend Agathe past away she left me to be captain of her ship "Pink Pearl". She decided to name her ship this way because she loved the color pink and pearls as well. I had to maintain the ship in good conditions and I had always dreamed of being captain of my own ship. Now that I have the opportunity I shall invite two of my friends to help me out with the work around the ship and they will be part of my crew. When I first told my friends Jocelin and Raquel they were very excited and couldn't wait for our adventures and journeys. 
Since, none of us had ever actually been on a ship and in this one in particular we were surprised when we got to the ship because it wasn't what we expected. When all of us heard the name "Pink Pearl" we imagined a gorgeous ship full of elegance and breathe taking as soon as we saw it but it was the complete opposite. 
Once when we left the port all of us were excited to start on our very own journeys. After half an hour had gone by Raquel started getting sea sick and then vomited on the deck. 
After her sea sickness went away we all decided to go out on the deck and hear stories and pointers from the previous crew members of this ship and we set sail to South America. I had never experienced anything like this before more the less go that far out into the sea. The ocean was magnificent, it glistened in the moon light and as the waves rocked the boat it helped the crew members and my friends fall asleep as I stayed up to be on the lookout for when we arrived to shore.


My Deepest Fear

My deepest fear in life would be failing. I have my heart and mind set for the best in life and it would be horrible if none of my aspirations were to come true. I hope that one day in that not too far future I shall become someone that is important and very respectful. I tend to get upset when things don't go my way because I'm sort of bossy. Usually I just question myself  why things didn't go my way and just end up blaming myself and try to set a goal that is not impossible to reach. I will end up trying again but with a reasonable goal so that I will not fail in life but succeed.

My Own Restaurant

If I had the opportunity to open a resteraunt I would definately open a family oriented restaurant with a Mexican theme. I would call my restaurant "El Zacatecano" and it will be located in the valley in Sherman Oaks. In this restaurant the theme that I would go with will be hispanic culture and include various hispanic dances and music as well. The type of music that I would include would be mariachi and will have a banda night during the weekends. I would serve the typical mexican food such as tamales, pozole, menudo, tacos, enchiladas, etc. I will also include a dance floor so people would enjoy themselves.

Dinosaur In My Backyard

One morning I woke up to my bed rocking and the television falling to the ground. At first I was terrified and thought that an earthquake was happening at that very moment and the epicenter was in my backyard! I managed to get up from my bed and look outside the window to see how bad the damage was and if everything was okay. When all of a sudden I noticed an enormous shadow and l looked up, as I did I saw a dinosaur in my own backyard. I was very excited at first, but then thought if it was friendly or not and deicided to find out if it was harmful. As I went out through my window the dinosaur saw me and walked right next to me and I thought I was going to be a gonner by its' enormous foot, but it landed a few inches right beside me. Then, it decided to put his head down right beside me and I figured it was going to eat me but I was wrong it wanted me to get on him. I was really excited, I was immediately started to think about what I was going to name it and what I was going to feed him. Then, as i was on his head I managed to see that not that far from my home his own home was being taken apart and from him in order to build new homes for other families. He seemed very sad so I decided to do something in order to help my new friend, so I decided to go talk to the person in charge of the construction that was destroying his habitat, with my new friend. We managed to convince him to stop destroying nature and return Diny his home back.

What Would I Cook For My Family?

If I could cook anything that I desired for my family I would most definately cook gorditas de sal for them. I would cook this for them because everyone in my family enjoys this meal therefore everyone will eat it with no hesitation. Gorditas de sal are made out of maseca flour and pour a little bit of water into the flour and pund it and rub it until it's soft. When it's soft , you take a medium sized ball of flour and shape it into thick tortillas and place them on a comal on the stove. After a while you commence to flip the gorditas so that they won't burn. Then, when they're cooked you make a border on the gorditas and while they are on the stove you will add a bit of lard and a pinch of salt until it melts.

The Time I Was Brave

The one time in particular that I remember the most of when I was brave was when I was five years old. I remember that my family and I took a family vacation during the summer to Mexico. While we were their we stayed at my grandmothers' house, in the second floor. Every night, I slept in my aunts' room and she would always tell me stories, especially the one where an old women roamed the stairs at night in order to grab children during night time. she also mentioned that she especially appeared  when the childrens' parents left their children unattended. The very next night for my misfortune my parents went to a party and we were left with my aunt. When all of a sudden as my brother and I were alone in my parents' room on the second floor, we heard someone going up the stairs with heels. Then, I remembered that I had left my favorite and most precious doll that I couldn't sleep without out in the hallway. I decided that I had to go outside and grab her before the old lady took her from me forever. I opened the door slowly at first in order to verify if the old lady had reached the hallway and when I saw that she wasn't their I decided to run towards my doll Helen  and I snatched her from the hall. After I ran back to the room and slammed the door shut right behind me I heard someone laughing. I thought to myself "Why would that old lady laugh if she wanted to hurt me?" and that's when I decided to go back out into the hall and that's when I saw my aunt in her high heel shoes laughing on the stairs. That was when I realized that I was being silly for having believed my aunt and her crazy stories, all she wanted to do was to frighten my brother and myself.

If I Had a Hundred Dollars

If I had a hundred dollars and I wasn't able to keep them I would have to decide whether I wanted to give the money to a charity or to a certain personin particular. I thought about it for a while and came to decision that I would give it away to a charity. I would want the charity to put those one hundred dollars to the best use possible. It doesn't really matter how they utilize the money as long as it's for a good cause. Although, I would prefer to give the money to a charity in particular, such as a children's charity that helps kids with fatal diseases. With the money in their hands they will decide who needs the money the most.

I Am Poem


I am a funny and clumsy girl
I wonder if people will ever stop being hypocrites
I hear fake laughter’s of people trying to fit in with the “It” crowd
I see fake people all around me
I want to be different and make a change
I am a funny and clumsy girl
I pretend to understand certain ideologies
I feel pity towards all those who are superficial
I touch my heart before I do something with consequences
I worry about global warming
I cry when something fatal and tragic occurs
I am a funny and clumsy girl
I understand that social structure shall never change
I say people should open their eyes and be who they truly are
I dream of one day everything all of a sudden changed
I try to hope for the best in life
I hope I will find true love
I am a funny and clumsy girl
