Assignment#18:My Poem

It's getting colder now,
the darkness seems to be consuming her.
Slowly, destroying her inside.
A feeling that is hard to ignore
A feeling that can't seem to leave her
She disguise's her feeling's with silly little lies,
If she spoke too much could be said,
so she rather keep's it all bottled up.
Perhaps you'll never find out,
the emotions she kept in secret.
It will all be left a mystery.
But for now, she's going to smile, she's going to laugh,
she's going to keep pretending
like nothing has ever gone wrong.

Assignment15#Multiple Intelligence

As I heard the tune of the song I began to feel the shivers rising up within my skin.I became part of the song as it continued to play in my radio which sat next to the dresser.It was like this song took me back 12 years ago, a flashback to my childhood, the memory that still lies within me. This child was left alone that night, without her mother or father there to put her in bed to fall sound asleep. She found herself in her room, lonely laying down in her crib, without her bottle to acompanion her. Tears became to come running down her face, as her heart broke into millions of pieces.

All of a sudden, a light began to glow inside the dark bed room, a lady began to walk in. Who was she? She asked herself, this lady was unknown. The lady picked up the child and began to rock her, maybe it was a way to stop the tears. Though it didn’t seem to be working, the child knew she was not in her mother’s arms, she did not feel the comfort her mother always gave her when she was there. She decided to place her back down in her crib, the lady did not know what to do, she could not find the solution to this child’s tears. She approached to the door and walked out, leaving the child alone as she remained to shed her tears.

The only way the child would stop crying was if her parents where their to show the love they always gave her before she fell asleep. But I guess that night was different, they left the child in someone else’s hand’s, knowing it would be the same as if their presence was their within her. That night became an unforgettable memory for the child, she suffered so much pain, and the ones who caused it where the ones she loved.

Assignment#16: The Journey

I call it my perfect world were all my dreams come true.It's not too big but it is not too small it's just right.Their are many great things to do here.Experience the land,the beautiful nature.Wooden walls are what protect me from the breeze at night,I call it my home.Everything you find here is eco-friendly.

The doors are cut from trees whom no longer stand to give the world fresh air.The light of my home day and night,is produced by the sun rays.In every room their are small solar panels that are attached to the ceiling,which is also made from wood. The best part of my home is my bedroom.My bed is big enough for 3 people,the comfort of this bed is spongy and non stringy like other matresses.It feels as if you were laying down in a pile of cotton ball's.

The bed sheets that cover myself,can keep you warm in an instant.They are made from a soft elasticy fabric,as soon as you cover yourself you feel the warmthness run thru your body.The living room is not to big,its big enough for a family of 5.In the living room you will not find a t.v since I decided not to have one here.Their is so much you can experience here than to sit down and watch television.Instead I keep a yoga ball to stay in shape.

The Kitchen is surrounded by a big fountain which the bathroom also has.The water that is in my home,comes from the mountains,it runs through tubes underground all the way to my home.Food is no problem at all,in the backyard their are several vegetable plants and many fruit trees.No meat at all,animals here cannot be killed it is a harm free zone to all animals,it does not matter if they live in water or in land.Therefore in my world I am a vegetarian.Every morning I wake up to the beautiful birds whom happen to be outside my bedroom window.

They are my morning alarm,they are what cause the joy in the morning's.As soon as I wake up I go in front to the porch and sit down on the wooden swing.Enjoying the view first thing in the morning always makes my day.I look up,I see the mountains which are big and blue,especially this season of spring.I look around me their is nothing but green grass surrounding my home.I began to feel the morning breeze.

The breeze carries a smell.It smells like wet dirt,as if it had just rained.I get of the swing and walk on the grass,it is cold to my feet,I love the feeling of having no shoes on.A bunny comes towards me and starts to sniff me.Its so small and harmless it's white and cudly.I take a walk to the forest,I call this a walk to heaven.

As Im walking down the path I begin to hear the sound of music.I hear a piano played with such emotion.Its an emotion of calmness and peace.The birds chirpping begin to join the music.It seems like a festival,with natures natural sounds.Flowers are blooming out of their tulips,bee's are buzzing around to find their honey.

Everything seems so magical,an explosion of colors everywhere.It's a burst of glittery land,everything seems to sparkle.I spot a bright glare of light in my sight,I begin to walk that direction.I am standing in front of a field.Full of flowers and beautiful white horses.I hear a voice soft and quiet,almost like an angels voice.

I sit on the field,looking around and no sign of where it could be coming from.The white horses are all I see,they are eating the grass on the field they seem they cannot talk.I hear a child's laughter giggle's and giggles.A butterfly passes by it is small and orange.I open my palm,which the butterfly lands on.Suddenly it turns into a magical fairy.

It begins talking to me and telling me to follow her.In my world I never seen any butterfly fairies before,this was my first time.The fairy flys away as I follow her she swirls and twirls leaving a dust of glitter behind.I hear water flowing along, we are approaching by a river.The fairy then stops tookes me with her small finger.My feet are no longer on the ground I am floating.

Jump the fairy say's,I do what she say's.I feel light,light as a feather I am flying up high in the sky.I look down and see a big waterfall,vapor is in the air bringing a scent of pine.I am feeling free right now everything from this view is unexplainable.I notcie the clouds whom seem like a soft big ball of cotton.I fly towards the cloud,I stand still as the fairy approaches me.

We stand their still smiling together looking at the amazing view from this height.I express the sensation I am feeling,by thanking the fairy.She has no response to me she smiles and disapears in an instant,leaving me behind.I feel a fear of scared,im standing high in the air.Since the fairy disapeared I find myself lost.Maybe I cannot fly no more,if the fairy left she probly took her powers with her leaving me stuck high up.

I began to walk on the cloud,as im walking I happen to be floating in the air once again.Laughters and giggles come out from me as the joy is expressed. I go forward from the direction I came from,im almost approaching the big blue mountains as I see them in my sight.I head facing their direction.The Night fall is begging to set,the town is begining to glow.I finally have made it to my destination.

I am on top of the mountains,a beautiful sight lives upon were I am standing,the night is no excuse to enjoy it.I can see my home glowing with the surrounding of the grass field.The forest is luminated with it's magical burst of color.The field where I met the fairy,shines with magic fairy dust.The sky is now purple,clouds are sleeping,till tommorow the sun will shine once again.This is my dream world it's the journey I desire.The perfect place my own perfect home.

Assignment#14:Uniforms

When was the last time you were told to wear a certain variety of specific colors to school?When were you ever told to be a follower,not a leader?School uniforms defeats the purpose of being who you want to be.Without uniforms the students will look individual,and they can should how they feel and what they like.But then at the same time with uniforms it shows that the school is working together to try to better improve how the school looks and how the students look.Now a days you see everyone look alike, from work to school.

With uniforms in the school it could cause less problems.In school they teach you to not follow the crowd.They usually tell you "Oh if he did that would you do it too?" They also teach you that you should try to make your voice heard.Show who you want to be in life. It shows determination because it shows where you want to go in life.uniforms may have their pros and cons.

I think that the good things about having uniforms is that they can express the way people feel.They can show the things that they like to watch either on t.v or the music that they listen to.Whatever it may come to it shows the persons personalilty. Without uniforms school show that the students have freedom.But sometimes that freedom comes with responsiblities that some people just can't handle.They try to take freedom and take it to another level.

Some girls might try to wear little skirts that aren't appropriate from a school enviorment.They might also try to wear tight shirts. Some boys also try to dress really baggy,they also like to wear their boxers half way down their butt.So I think that people need to learn that there are going to be some restrictions with freedom and responsiblity.Another good thing about having uniforms is that it shows that the school is more focus on the students education.It also shows that the school and students like to look more together.

It shows that they are determinded to be someone in life.They are trying to make the school better by trying to focus more in the education they are recieving,instead of trying to worry what they are going to wear to the next school day.But by doing this the school looks more boring and dull.Uniforms are everywhere now,they came from way back when the military first started.To start working like a group first they had to look like one.Their uniforms show pride and justice they wear them happily.But not all places are the same.

Uniforms also occur in the workplace and the school enviornment,while wearing a uniform everyone looks the same right?Well with this fact students are being judged less because there isn't anything to compare them to.Everyone wears the same colors and the same way to wear the uniform.It is also harder for those students to get into specific groups or cliques.School uniforms are also ver expensive at sometimes. Every begininng of the school year parents have to buy their kids new uniforms because they are growing and they don't fit into last years uniforms,they also have no use out of school.

The students wear uniforms every day in school but once they get home what is the first thing kids want to do once they get home? They all take their uniforms of because they feel like they have been trapped all day looking like everyone else.Another good thing about having uniforms is that it can decrease the school crime that occurs in school.This happens because the students are more focused on their school work and they don't have time to worry or think about anything else. With uniforms in schools it also decreased sexual offences and fights between the students.This happens because students don't have things to bullied with such as the type of clothes you wear.

WIth school uniforms you can also see who belongs there and who doesn't.If someone is trying to be a threat they can tell who it is right away because they don't look like everyone else.In my opinion i like getting up in the morning and deciding what to wear.I can show how my mood is that day, or what i like.I don't want to be told that I can only wear the certain colors the school wants me to. If the students wear uniforms then don't you think the teachers should wear them to?

I mean it's only fair that if we get punished everyone else shall be punished as well. I believe that in private schools and boarding schools, uniforms are fine because you choose to go there. You have to be aware that in a private school you do have to wear them, but what if I 'm going to a public school and yet they are trying to make this enforced. And while we are at it why have names why not give us numbers while we are in school? they are much easier,right?But in the end I think that school uniforms are a big waste of money and it's like they want to tie you down and tell you what to wear and what not to wear.They teach us in school to be free and be who we want to be but with school uniforms we have no way of expressing ourselves.

So maybe it may come down to who votes yes and who votes no, well i think that the high schools every where shouldn't allow school uniforms because your not alloring the students to show their personalilties. Yes school uniforms have their good and bads but at the end it all comes down to how you really feel inside.Do you really want everyone to look alike and the school be boring or would you rather have them be free spirit?Yes people do take it out of hand sometimes but like i said before with freedom comes great responsibility. Clothing- whether it's style, designer label, or quality, shouldn't have to be an issue at school at all.

Asignment#11:The Concrete Rose

My understanding of this poem is that no matter how bad or adverse the conditions you may be facing sometimes something good and beautiful can still grow and survive.It is mainly refearing to people and uses the rose as a symbol.

Assignment#13:Halloween Haiku

Horror night is here.Trick or treat!who could that be.Pause with sudden fright
Stories have been told.Beware whom stands at the door.They come out tonight
Whom is they I say.Spirits of those deceased.Trembled with despair

Assignment#12:The Black Cat

Nobobdy knows what they have until it's gone,everything may seem like a world of perfection.Just knowing nothing could ever go wrong,nothing could ruin it.This story relates to sombody's life that seemed to be going just fine until the person became someone else,a total stranger.

To me each cat in the story symbolizes all the bad emotions a human has. Anger,hatred,jealousy,ect are emotions that cause us to feel unpleasant.Its a natural response,feelings we as humans expirience once in a while.Sometimes these emotions are hard to control they become a threat to others,causing us to express it by slamming doors,confronting the person who we perceive to have caused our anger and ect.I belive the first black cat symbolises the ungreatfull heart the man had to accept love.Thinking the cat no longer loved him he decided to hang the poor cat.

The second cat gives an understanding of guilt the narrator is feeling for what he's done.He begans to feel regret,because the second cat is bringing all the emotions he had for the first black cat.Attempting to release all the anger he re builds up, he tries to kill the second black cat as well.Though he isn't succesful,the white spot helps him realize all the bad he has done.It was like a symbol that made him change his mind in an instant.The story was a way to show how each person handles their emotions.

Everything we do is mainly controlled by our emotions.Its up to each one of us to decide how to handle them.For some,it is hard admitting what they are feeling and by that,it can become out of control.It can lead you to become someone you do not want to be just like a stranger withing yourself.Addicted in self destruction,you go crazy and cant control anything your doing.Many people realize all the destruction or harm they created until they see or face the ones whom caused the emotions become uncontrolable.

Though their are times where it's to late to solve the problem,like the man in the story.He killed the cats as well as his wife,his mistakes had been already done,no way he could of brought his wife nethier the cats back to life.It was already to late.People make mistakes,though their are some who do them on purpose and some who do it by accident.Many say "Forgive but not forget"but how could you forgive a person when they did something to you on purpose?I say this because I have been in two situations were I was forgiven for my mistakes and when I let a friendship go,by not forgiving.

People don't just say things without knowing what exactly comes out of their mouths,especially something that can make you feel humiliated,something so personal.
I remeber the time I was so angry due to the fact my owen very bestfriend backstabbed me.It was one of the most hardest things I went thru.Though I could say it's all in the past now.I knew a sorry would not be enough,because it was something this person did on purpose.Fact is that's why I never forgave the person because I knew if I did maybe the same story would be repeated.

I choose my own decisions,many told me to forgive the person because it was a "mistake",according to them everyone makes mistakes.Though they didn't know what exactly happened,I decided for myself.Even today I think about it,if that person came back and asked me to please forgive them,I would not think twice I would simply say no.I may sound like a total biscuit but it's something I could never go back to doing again.Then their is the story where I actually realized my mistakes before it was to late.

Sometimes when someone you love is causing you to create some sort of disliketowrds them,you know you can't comfront them because you dont want to hurt them right?Well back in freshman year I would always hang out with one of my friends everyday,who today I consider one of my closest.We would communicate as soon as we got home,by getting on myspace or by talking on the phone.Their was times were she would always bug me,I guess I spent to much time with her it made me feel like I could not be alone for once.Though I started saying how bad she anoyed me and how easy she would get in my nerves.Even though I did not tell her about this,she heard it from other people because they heard me say it.

I knew if she found out it would really hurt her.However,it was not like I was spreading a rumor or saying something personal about her.I remeber talking with another group of friends and I guess they thought I disliked her by saying how she anoyed me at times.Soon I realized she found out,so I had to comfront her I explained to her what really was going on.I did not want to loose our friendship over something she heard that was misunderstood.I asked for her to forgive me and she did,I knew if I lost our friendship I would be alone.She was someone that ment so much,she also knew I loved her very much.

Today I look back at this,im glad I went to her before it was to late,she remains to be my close friend who I call "Chimps-Ahoy"I love her to death.Even though some of these emotions had an effect to my life,im grateful to be given a second chance.Solve those mistakes created,give forgivness to those whom deserve it,letting go may be hard,though time can help it heal.

Assignment#10:Bullying

Bullying is a form of abuse towards others.It's a way to hurt intentionally another person.It can occur in any context in which human beings interact with each other.Bullying can be expressed in many ways not only physically but verbally.Those who are a victim of bullying show effects that can be serious and even fatal.Many struggle with a case of bullying everyday.Those who are bullied at school are likely to build up fear of going or dropping out.I have seen many situations were people end up mentally damaged due to a bully's abuse.

Bullying is something someone should never go thru any time in their lifes. Have I ever been a vicitm of bullying?Yes,though I never reported it because I didn't know it was called "bullying".It started back in the 8th grade,one of my classmates(can't say his name i'll call him Billy)decided to start calling me "Shrek".I remeber it was in my 5th period class,everyone in that class started laughing.It made me feel self uncontious,I asumed he called me that because I was not very small in other words thin.As self uncontious as it made me feel I joined the laughing party with everyone else.The teacher said to everyone to stop the laughter.

The next day as I was walking to 1st period Billy said "Hey Shrek where's Fiona"?I looked at him like Huh? he said "yeah where's(Fiona was given to one of my best guy friends who im going to call Sam)Sam"?I was like you really need to stop that,he said it was simply just a joke to not take it serious.Throught the day all the guys in my 5th period decided to start calling me "Shrek"without permission.Everytime I heard someone say it,I got very mad inside and thought they began to call me that due to my body image.Even if they called one of my friends Fiona I honestly preffered people calling me Fiona instead of Sam.The sadest part was, Sam is a guy so why was he Fiona and not me?,I always thought the reason he was being called Fiona was because many classmates thought he had more of a "feminine side" and not "The tough Guy".

Ever since the day they began to call me by shrek,I began to dislike school especially my 5th period.Rather then telling my mom about this I sucked it up and pretended like nothing was wrong,like if school was going just fine.I would always look towards the weekend because I knew nobody would call me names and I could escape from all of this for atleast 2days.After the weekends where over,I knew to expect the name calling first thing in the morning.I alway's walked to school,since it wasn't far from my house.Billy would alway's get dropped off one block away from school,I knew then if he began to call me name's I would simply avoid him talking and speed walk my way to school.

Their were times he would catch up to me,he would say "Heeeeeey Shrek why you walking so fast is Fiona waiting for Shrek"!his comment's always made me angry.As angry as I would get I knew if I defended myself and said something back he would keep adding more and more things that would hurt me.Throught the day I would be aware of Billy ,if I saw him I would be terrified,if he talked to me I knew I had to be nice,if he was around his friends I knew to pretend to not see him.It was like he was controlling my school life in a way,when I was around him I knew not to say anything because to him it would always be something stupid.I really dislkied this torture so much that I knew it was never going to stop.

Towards the end of the year I remember I was more then exstatic!,not only because the year after I was going to start freshman year in a brand new high school,but because I knew I was not going to see Billy no more.A full year of tortureness would finally come to an end it was like a dream come true to me.Its been almost 3years since this happened,I am realizing alot from the past.I ask myself What did i do to deserve all this?I was never mean to Billy making friendswas something i was good at,I always opened the door to my friendship never do I remember closing the door on someone.So why was I targeted?I could never find an answer,instead I find theories to my questions.

I compared shrek to the way i looked in the 8th grade, and saw the physical image was the only thing.Was I Billy's target because of my weight?They say the truth always hurts,words can hurt two times worser than physical abuse.Some ones words hurt me so much,not only in the past but also today.Its something that cannot be forgotten it permanently stays within you.This has affected me in so much,I know im going to find a way out I need patience because it's not going to change from one day to another it takes time.If your a victim speak out loud don't keep everything inside,their is people out their who will help you with your situation.

Don't make the mistake I did,I kept everything bottled up I could of done something.Though the fear stopped me from talking.Bullying should not even have excistense,no one wants to be hurt intentionatly. Everyone has done it once in their lifetime.We humans have the power to stop it because if we can't then who will?it's a choice every human should make simply think before you speak and say no to bullying!

Assignment#9:Alien Contact

"Better hurry up Katy,your going to be late for school" my mother said, giving me a vicious look.I was rushing as fast as I could, almost as if I was in a race I knew I had to arrive to school before the bell rang or Ms.Lum would make me present the science project first.Though I had no project at all,the night before I was about to start it,when I received an instant message from my friend in Ohio.I knew if I logged of she would think I was been rude or something,so I kinda sneaked my way in the computer and stayed chatting online with her for several hours.By the time I realized I needed to finish my project I looked at the clock to see what time it was.It was late past my bedtime I went straight to bed with nothing but my name on the construction paper on science project.As I arrived to school I noticed students walking with such adrenaline oh no I say im late again.

On my way to class im thinking for something fantastic to suddenly happen,almost like a miracle.Something that would make Ms.Lum have a reason to leave school campus and not be present as the teacher today in class,I would be so lucky if it happened.I open the door to the classroom "Heeeeeeeey Katy im glad you could join us today"Ms.Lum says."Umm heeeMs.Lum im glad im here as well",I stare at her very vicious.As I take my seat she pronounce's to the class "well class today is our presentation day I hope you leave me speachless with your projects ."My stomach begans to feel funky, I was so nervous I did not know what to say if she called me first.

Ms.Lum begans to ask for volunteers, though no one proceeds with her question,"well I guess I have to do it the hard way,iny meenie mainy Katy your up".I look at her with a pause,I stay in my seat not wanting to get up."Katy your up"she stairs at me "Well are you going to present to us or not" , "Ummm my dog ate my project"everyone in the class laughs ,I look at her as if I was confused."You didn't do it did you Katy? she asks "not exactly I was about to but.." don't say a word Katy stay after class".Soon the bell rings "everyone dismissed" Ms.Lum say's I began to stand up except you Katy.

As Ms Lum closes the door she asks,"Katy you had one week to do this project why do you not have it today"? I knew if I lied to her and told her a big story she was not going to belive me,I simply replied "Well I was to lazy focusing on other things and not the main important things like homework"."Well she says im glad your being honest and not lying to me,ill tell you what if you bring me back a book report on something related to science I will count it as a project grade,but you have until next week no later then Monday" she says.Even though I really didn't like towrite I knew I had no choice but to suck it up and do it "Deal "I say.I arrive to second period math the subject im worse in,their I began to feel icky in my stomach again.I knew it was not the nerves I had last period,this pain was an actuall stomach pain.I asked the teacher for a pass to the nurses office.

As Im walking to the nurses office I feel a sharper pain,so sharp that I felt my stomach was on fire.I arrive to see the nurse, "what can I do for you today young lady"? "im having aunpleaseant stomach pain,it hurts so bad"I say.The nurse tells me lays on the bed,she began's feeling my stomach with her cold hand "oww I say your hand is cold"."Oh my it seems you have a stomach flu,we have to call your mothe is she able to pick you up at this time"? "Yes mam I reply.My mother arrives to school picks me up and drive's me home.When we arrive to my house my mother gives me medicine to control my sharp stomach pain" be back later bumble bee hope you feel better"she just says and takes off back to work.

I turn on the tv to see what's on,I really never have a chance to see the morning shows only on special occasions like holidays or teachers go to school days or like today the times mother picks me up due to an illness at school.Nothing really good is on,I began to feel a little hungry even though my stomach is not feeling good as im walking to the kitchen I hear a loud crashing noise upstairs.Scared to heck I stay their paused like if I had seen a ghost,thinking a rober or pedifiler was inside my house.I grab a kitchen knife from the cabinent and hed up stairs to see what this crazy noise was.As im walking up stairs I hear a strange noise something I had never heard before in my life,it sounded as if soft techno music was being played.Walking in my room I see something sitting in my bed.

This thing sitting down did not look exactly human it seemed more like an alien creature,it was between the colors green and brown.I thought I was going crazy,the medicine my mother had gave me was getting to my head or something.But I knew Iwas wrong I know I was not crazy because it was right in front of my eyes.I asked" who are you?" what are you doing in my house?"the alien creature begans to lift it's arm,it seemed it had three long fingers,it pointed at me and said "aiiiiii caaamm iiin seeeerch aiii livv plaaanet zugg"."What huh I don't understand it seemed the alien creature was saying it was here in search and it lived in planet zug.I must be dreaming or something I cannot be talking to some creature whom iv'e never seen before here in planet earth.

I had no choice I sat next to the alien creature and began asking question's it was very strange,the alien creature looked at me and I looked back as well.Though this alien did not answer none of my questions.I began to wonder if it knew how to speak because I wanted to know how exactly it got inside my house because their was no sign,the windows were closed and their was no holes in the walls neither the roof.The alien creature points to the closet door,but I did not know why.Then the door opens by itself,no way!the alien creature had what it seemed to me magic powers!I was amazed.Looking at the alien creature I say "how did you do that" the alien responds "aaaiii coomm frooom daaa dooour taaaik aaaaa luuuk"

It seemed the creature wanted me to look in the closet but I was to scared.Knowing some random thing appeared in my house and yet did not cause any harm I knew their was nothing to be scared of.I trusted the alien creature and took a look inside the closet.As soon as i looked inside,smoke was coming out "oh my gosh my closet is on fire!"i screamed.I knew I should off not trusted the alien creature as soon as I screamed the creature stands up,stay down I said "miiii noooouu haaarrmmm" ,"how should I belive you" I said.I try to back away before the alien creature actually harms me."smoooook iii caaaame" woah!I say so the smoke is how you got here?I took another peak inside the closet,I realized the smoke was actually a big round thing like a futuristic car in the present.How could something so big fit in my small closet?So much curiosity so little time.

My mother was going to be home in a couple of hours and perhaps this alien creature was not going to be an easy problem.I knew I could not kick it out of my house nethier to call the police because then the swat team would arrive at my house,if that did happen the neighbors would think my mother or me were criminals.Ideas went running thru my head everything this alien creature was saying seemed like he came here to earth as an accident.The futuristic car looking big round thing was probly a spaceship and it appeared here at my house as a magical mistake.Mhmmmmmm,maybe I could solve the problem by fixing the alien creatures spaceship.I went in the closet,it was so unbelivable what was right in my eyes words cannot explain this it was aluminum color with blinking lights.As I was observing the spaceship I noticed the reason smoke was coming out was because one of the lights had busted.

The spaceship had green lights surroundings,maybe that was the problem.The lights looked exactly like light bulbs I knew I needed to find a green bulb to replace the broken one.Alien creature comes in the closet and points at the broken light.I knew then I was correct that was the problem.Mother always kept colored light bulbs in the garage,she loved how pretty the light looked with color.I headed downstairs to the garage in a mission to finding the green bulb.I looked in the cabinets and found the buld.I did not know how to take out the one broken on the spaceship,I put my mind into thinking mode.Aha!I said maybe I could use some gloves that way I don't burn my hands.I headed back upstairs I looked at the clock my mother was going to be home in les than an hour.I needed to hurry up,rushing to the closet I began to take out the broken green bulb in the ship and set it down aside.As fast as I could I replaced it with the new light,it had fit just perfect.

Suddenly I began to hear a beeping noise it was the ship.It worked I actually helped out to make it work,as I was looking around I did not see the alien creature but suddenly he apeared inside the spaceship.I simply just smiled at the alien creature,he used magic to get inside,the alien creature said"taank yiiiu"and waved a goodbye.Suddenly everything dissapeared in an instant,everything was gone the alien creature the space ship even the broken glass.I felt good after helping some strange looking thing.Almost forgot that I was sick from my stomach,my mother arrived as I was going downstairs."How was your day bumble bee"?"i went magically great"!I gave her a smile "no more stomach pain"she said "noo its like it disapeared in an instant haha"!"I am glad bumble bee"mother said.

Later that night I began to write my science report and I knew I was going to write about my expirience on helping an alien go back home.Even though it seemed so un realistic I knew it was real therefore I had nothing to lie.Hoping Ms.Lumould belive my expirience with the neighbors from outerspace.

Assignment#7:My Self Value

Jealousy lies somewhere in the gray area between sanity and madness.A feeling that has been around and still happens to live around us in our everyday life's.Their are some who are unhappy with their lifes that they become to envy someone elses.They say such things like "oh it must be great to be in her/his shoes they have everything beauty, friends, just a perfect life."But in reality we don't see the truth.Maybe in their lives they really aren't happy at all.

They might have everything they ever wanted but are they really happy? These are all the things people should think about when it comes to being jealous of someone elses life.They may have everything they ever wanted but you have to take a look at what God gave you.He gave you these things because he believed you deserved them.But take a good look around maybe you have everything you ever wanted and it's all in your own life.Some seem to hide this emotion very well and their are those who cannot control this at all.

Their are some who seem to compare their lifes with others because they believe their life isn't good enough.They don't work hard enough to achieve these things that they wish for.For some,it is hard to appreciate everything about themselfs,they are unhappy with themselfs.Then the feeling starts to builds up in themselfs they begin to get jealous of someone else.But in reality take a look at yourself.When you look in the mirror you should see somewho who has achieved so many things in life.

I think to myself "I have accomplished so many things in my life but yet why am I so sad still."I found that it's because I have been trying to make everyone else happy and forgot about my own self happiness.I was trying to make everyone happy and not making my voice heard.I never said what I wanted for my life I was always doing what I was told.People always seem to care what other people think.This is the down fall of most people.

They think that they have to be exactly what people expect.But in reality you should want to be someone who feels comfortable in their own skin.There is always going to be criticism in the world.So if someone calls you fat, just ignore them don't listen to any rumors you might hear.If you don't believe all the stuff they say about you then it doesn't make it true.Only you can prove them all wrong.

If some one were to call you fat it's because maybe they aren't really happy with themselves.To make them feel better they like to put other people down.But this is when you take a good look at yourself and see that you're better then that.If you think that you're fat just because someone else told you then you should try and change your self image.As long as you can't love yourself then you will not be able to love anyone else for that matter.You have to feel comfortable in your own skin and know that you look good and you have everything in your life so that you never have to be jealous of envious.

My Last Day (Haiku)

Shall our life be the journey wich takes us forward,a path we ourselfs belong
Learn from yesterday's mistake's, leads the creation of a succesful future
Cherished moments with thy loved ones, deeply within our souls remain

I Dream A World

A world where no evil or no harm ever made excistense,where everything is perfect,were all human race respects one another,were peace among ourselfs is expressed to one another,where every race has equal rights.Imagine yourself living in this Utopia that is been described throught this poem.It's the dream world Langston huges imagines ourselfs to be living in.Due to all the issues that are occuring to the world right now,seems we are creating a future where no peace will ever make its way thru.Lets start of by saying immigration is one of the main issues right now.In peoples perspectives they belive immigrants shall no longer be here doesn't matter what race they come from.

Another issue related to religion would be the mosques.Many people in fact are prostesting for these mosques not to be build.Reasons why they don't want the mosuqes to be built is because it disrespects the memory of those killed on September 11,2001.This leads to another religious issue wich is the Quran burning.A pastor from Florida was planning on burning the islamic bible,because islam religion is the devil.This pastor had every right to do the burning because like man kind he used his will towards freedom of religion.Such as having freedom he was causing many other religions and people to become very furiously.

Issues like these are what makes our society have no such respect towards one another.If we want to plan to live in a world where no harm is excisted,why do we continue on putting ourselfs at risk by creating much more issues like the ones we live everyday now.What im saying is if we actually want something good for our world,we all have to be a part of it,and as part of it I mean cooperating and agreeing of what others have to say.We cannot just sit back and wait for it to fix itself.Time eventually runs out, when that time comes to an end,regrets are going to be made for not valueing the time we had.It may seem the most powerful people in the world are the ones with the money and the ones who run the goverment.

It may seem they have alot of power,you may think you dont have enough power to change another person's views.If you don't give it a try you wont go any where far,you wont loose anything eathier just a few words can make such a big diffrence. If we don't change anything on creating a much more non racial communtiy,what enviroment is our future generations going to be living in? Just imagine these issues are like a long storm eventually a storm clears up,maybe in the future we happen to find ourselfs living in a much more calm world and everything will perhaps get better. Martin Luther King said with these words "I have a dream" I myself have a dream.I dream a day where every race is going to have equal rights as one another.

Peace is one day going to make it's way in to our world.A zone were no violence,nor hatred against man kind be expressed.As though it seems i'm dreaming a nightmare yet I don't plan to give up on making this possible.Looking around it seems there are those who want to make a change and that day will come,eventually.

Show & Tell

' ♪♫♪♫..♥

As cheesy as it may sound one of the precious things to me is a simple little song.To people this may be a typical song they hear in the radio,but to me it means more then that.The title of this song is called "Manana que ya no estes"By:Grupo Inovacion.Their are many reasons why this song has so much meaning.Some of those reasons are before my grandma passed away she would always tell us how she would like that song to be played in her funeral.Everytime she heard this song,she would sing along even though she didn't know the song very well.

Their were times were I would really get annoyed because she would play the song over and over again till her vintage music player would stop playing.I guess since I would always hear the song I became familiar with the lyrics and started to learn the song.Now that my grandmother is no longer with us,their are times were I seem to really miss her.One of the ways I remeber her by is by simply playing that one song she loved,and to top it of I play it over and over again.When my grandma passed away her wish had come true,they played her song in her funeral.This song was not played by the original artist,it was played by my 5year old cousin.

I thought that was one of the cutest things ever because he really did not know the song that much or half of the lyrics,but as he sang the couple of lyrics he knew you would hear the sadness in his little voice.In my opinion I thought it was a way he expressed his feelings towards the lost of my grandma.Every now and then I hear the song,listen to the lyrics word by word I now understand why my grandma would enjoy it so much.The lyrics written were ment to be dedicated to those you love very much,the tone of the song has sounds of the violin instrument to be heard in a peaceful way.Music to someones ear may be like nothing that important,but their are those that touch deeply in your heart and mean so much too you that the feeling is impossible to explain.This is why I plan to keep the memories I had with that song forever locked away in my heart.

My Sophmore Year

Belive it or not the school year has nearly come to an end.
My sophmore year brought many great things,learned alot,met new people,and brought things I will never forget.Knowing that I only been in high school for 2 years now,I think sohpmore year has been the hardest.Knowing how just as the years go by you learn and realize many thing.Sohpmore year has changed me alot,not only as a person but also mentally.I have been through so much tough times this sophmore year,and let me tell you they were not the greatest.


Something I have learned is never give up on something you think you can't do,because if you stop trying it will lead to no where.Having good grades is the best thing ever it makes you feel so succesfull.I remeber in the beginig of the year my grades where almost a 3.5 avergae,I was always so proud of myself.I felt like I was in top of the world.Their was times where I would be so lazy to do my work in class that I told myself"ok,one assignment isn't going to hurt your grade it's not a big deal".Thinking my grades were the best,I stopped doing my assignments in class and my homework.Eventually I realized my grades had been dropping,they dropped to almost F's to all my classes.I was so down about all this that I didn't even want to bother to bring my grades up because they where so low.Trying to keep my grades up was one of the reasons why I did'nt stop trying.Eventually I started to do my assignments,I turned in my missing homeworks,and I did alot of extra credit.My grades became back to normal again and it felt really good to know that.Now I tell myself wow I was so dumb to ever think that.I ask myself imagine if I didn't try what would happen?I would probably not pass my classes.Just know if you don't try something you think is impossible to do,don't give up because in the end many great things can happen.


Throught this year I realized what the meaning of "friendship"was.This year I found out who my real friends where,who I never plan to trust again in the future,and who I am not going to depend on.Lets just say this year iv'e been backstabbed in ways I thought were not even possible.Having someones trust is the hardest thing to show someone how much they really mean to you,knowing someone abused that trust is very disapointing.I know people are not perfect in any way,their is not such thing as perfect,everyone makes mistakes,but to me a sorry isn't worth nothing.Seeing the things I went thru made me feel so down,but it also made me who I am now.Never depend on someonebut yourselfs.

My Time Machine

Imagine your self creating a time machine,what would happen if you had one right in front of your eyes?where would you go?
If I where to travel back in time I would go to the time where the beatles exsisted.
The resosn why I would go to those times is because I would want to see a Beatles concert live.The Beatles song are all so great they are odd but make you wonder. Many of their songs have so much meaning to them.One song in particular that became so popular was "Revolution".In this song they say they do want a revolution and evolution to “change the world.” But how do they want to change the world? They want to do it without destruction. “But when you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me out.” In the next stanza, The Beatles show their political views against communism through the mentioning of Chairman Mao, and “if you go carry pictures of him…you ain’t going to make it with anyone".

The Beatles one of the first groups that used their music as a medium for social activism,meaning they tried creating peace throught their music for the world.They became most significant and influential rock groups on society during this time period.Just imagine yourself being their at this time,it would be scary but yet interesting. I would be able to understand their music more and feel how people felt back then. Many protested against the war and some weirdos were for it. To me, War is stupid. What's the whole point of fighting your own kind and hurting them because they have a different mind set than you. I think The Beatles were successful in showing the world peace. I think it really worked.

They made a mark in history making them known throughout the world. Even though they are dead they are still world wide known with their successful peace music that made everyone want to dance to it.

My anything Essay

Love? What exactly is love? I think love is the kind of feeling you get when you are with someone for a very long time. Sometimes I ask myself, what if you have feelings for the same sex as you?

Is it wrong to love someone the same gender as you?
What I am trying to say with this is why do so many people dislike the fact that a human can not love the person they choose. We are all equal, not lower, not higher, but the same living, breathing, feeling thing just like anyone else. Anyone should be able to love who they want for everyone deserves happiness and a happy ending.

In my personal opinion I think they should legalize gay/lesbian rights because the heart should be open to whoever it desires to be with. I mean, people shouldn't tell one another who they are allowed to love or to be with.
I also think in some beliefs in religion shouldn't be considered a sin because if god created love then he also created mixed love combined.

Many people think homosexual marrige should not be allowed for so many reasons. Some say that lesbians and gay's cannot create a baby.

It may be true but their is also adopting isn't their?sure is but "society" is trying to prevent the homosexuals to adopt.
According to a research study homosexuals can effect children in many ways.
Children living with a homosexual couple can end up living in poverty,domestic violence,and ethier turning out homosexual.
In my opinion I think researchers only look at the negative side of homosexuality and not the good side,I think they are been "sexist".Other researchers show that many children end up going to college and they all don't turn out to be homosexual.
Many people may diffrent opinions about all this,but this is my personal opinion.If a homosexual couple is wanting to adopt a child,they should have the right to do so.

Many times I ask myself why do so many people discriminate homosexuals?I guess it's just the way each individual person in the world is.Personally,I think god created a diffrences on human beings because if they we were all the same it would be boring

My Wisdom Quote

"I see life like a clock tick tock ,tick tock, 1year, 360 days ,12 months ,7 days,24 hours ,60 minutes ,60 seconds ,take time as a value ,take time to care and love one another,take time and don't waste it ,because eventually at any moment ,time will run out,life could stop ticking."-Viviana Arevalo

If today was my last day living in this world, my wisdom quote says pretty much what I would say if they were my few last words.I see life as a clock because notice how time has gone by so fast,I could still remeber part of my childhood like if it was yesterday.As a little girl I would always tell my mom "I can't wait till I turn 15".The reason was because my cousins would always go out to dances and party late at night.Well back then I visualized to have the same teenage life as my cousins did ,that I was going to have so much fun,I was going to feel free.Back then I really did'nt know any better but to think of "my future".Now that i looked back to this i know i learned so much from the past.I am 16 years old I realize been a teenager is harder then I imagined it to be.

High school ,homework,friends,ect it is to much to handle.Sometimes I wish I could be a little girl once again and only worry about my barbie dolls and not worry so much about been a grownup.The only thing to do is just go on with life and suck it up.Another reason why I would compare life and a clock is because, notice that one day everything happens to go by so perfect that you think nothing can ruin it, you may be wrong.Look out of the box,as perfect it may seem,the phone could ring and that phone call can change everything.I have a similar story to this,a couple of months ago we where at the store grocery shopping,when we saw my mom's cousin/compadre named Jesus.We saw him said hello and had a little conversation with him ect.

Month's later we recived a phone call from my aunty,it was about 8 in the morning,the call was to inform us that my mom's cousin/compadre had past away the night before.It was a big shock to us,we never imgained that the time we had saw him at the store was the last time we would talk to him.
Knowing all this had happend, I realize that I should value the time I have with someone, such as my family or friends and tell them that I love them because no one really knows if the next day you happen to wake up and one of your loved ones is not their.Everyday I go to sleep and wake up the next morning,I give thanks to god for letting me live another day,because I know I will make the best of this day and try to accomplish something new.Eventually a clock will stop working,take life as time and value every minute of it.

If I Where His For One Day

:)ESPINOZA PAZ,♥

If I were to choose to be someone for a day I would choose to be my favorite singers girlfriend.My favorite singer is Espinoza Paz.Espinoza Paz was born on October 29 in the state of Sonora,Mexico.Espinoza has been through the hardest experience, his Mother, Mrs. Maria de la Paz Espinoza, passed away, marking his life forever.
Ever since he was a child he had this dream of becoming a singer.He remembered His mother would always say"to not give up on something that one day could come true."
That is one of the reasons he never let his dream fall,it was an encouragement for him to keep his head up high and follow what he really wanted.All the tragic things that he's been thru has made him who he is now.

That dream he once had as a child has became a dream come true.
Espinoza's cd's are one of the most best sellers in the world.His very first cd album came out in the year 2007 when his career as a songwriter first started.
He has become famous and well known in the Regional Mexican music.
The songs he composes are related to things that hes been thru throught his life.Mostly all his songs are about love and heartbreaks,their is one song in specific that talks about his mother and how much he misses her.When I heard this song it really touched me because it reminded me of my grandma that past away.

One of my favorite songs is called "Ponte En Mi Lugar" it talks about how someone that you once loved treated you so horrible that you just couldn't let go and now you realize what would happen if karma did the same to you.It really is a great song i really love it.Another reason I would want to be his girlfriend because he has that unique personality,he shows that fame isn't so important in his life.
Even though I have never talked to him, the way he shows himself on t.v makes me get butterflies,the way he talks the way he is everything is so original about him,he has this accent that I hear everytime I go visit Mexico.The style he has is also so unique,he wears the traditional chero outfit.Wich are the pointy boots,camisas,tejana ect.It seems that labeled clothes don't matter to him ,i really like that about a guy.

I also think he is very cute,but many say he really isn't,I guess what makes him seem cute to me is the way he shows his personality.Espinoza Paz has everything I would want in a guy, he would be my dream come true.These are some specific reasons why I would choose to be his girlfriend for one day.

My Poem

He is the Mexican Machista
The Mexican man that crossed the border in 1976
The man that came to work in the USA and to become an American citizen
But even when he became a citizen, he still kept his Mexican tradition alive

He keeps his wife at home to cook and clean while he's at work
HE keeps his daughters strictly protected not letting them live life on their own
he's the Mexican Machista that wants his food on the table when he gets home
The one that has his dos mujeres do everything he knows he can do

His Mexican ways make him believe that the men just work and do nothing at home
He has his dos mujeres at home to cook, clean and wash his clothes
To him it would be a disgrace to have to do something at home having his tres mujeres en la casa

even though he crossed the border and left his Mexican home, he's still a Mexican man with a lot of Mexican pride
He's a Mexican Machista in the American world

He's the Mexican Machista that will never change his ways
He's the Mexican Machista leading his son the same way
He's the Mexican man that I call dad
And the Mexican Machista that will always get his way

From Loyalty To A Great Betrayal

"I know we don't talk anymore and there has even been times I've noticed we've walked right by each other without saying a word. There are those times, however, when we see each other... make eye contact... and I know, no matter how hard we both try and hide it... that you miss me just as much as I miss you"-Unknown


You may think a real friend is someone who is loyal to you someone that you shared your secrets with someone who you trust. But are you really sure that person is the friend you think is what you can call "best friend"
In my case I thought my bestfriend or what I used to call sister was everything I ever dreamed off having by my side.I thought she was more then what she turned out to be.
People don't just say things in accident ,especially something that can make you feel humiliated.In some cases people get all tied up in their on little lies wich makes things even worse.What is more important a friend that could be with you forever or the dream guy you think was going to be forever your true love?.I know it was something that I never expected for it to come ,I never thought it was even possible, but as I thought more about it and really put attention to it I noticed it!I never thought what I used to call bestfriend choose her boyfriend over me.
Its sad to know the reality of something you wish had never happend.Especially when you once helped that person thru those dificult moments in their lifes.This did not only lead to a backstabbing issue, it led to not having that trust anymore.
Honestly I really miss those times we use to spend together,the times we use to go out,but I know for a fact that those fun times are in the past,and they will always be great memories to me forever.The harder part is I can't imagine ourselfs to be how we used to,the bff's that once exsisted.The way I visualise it is just as we act now.We have created this akwardness hatefull enviroment between each other and it is just really weird,it's so hard to even say hi.
I know she knows half of my secrets and I know half of hers,I know I don't plan to open my mouth to everybody and expose these secrets.I know it could be karma to her,but I don't plan to do that.I am better then that the past is in the past,you can forgive but not forget.A second chance or a sorry may be a right way to forgive someone,but how would I know if it's fake and something similar could strike again.
Nobody can tell you what to do in such case,you have to decide for yourself.In a case like mine friends usually break all relations with each other and become strangers.
When I think about this it kills me inside to know it was real,i can still remeber that one day,that it was never a dream.Sometimes it is better to cover those feelings with a fake smile.
If one of these days she happens to be in danger,ill pretend to be superman and go where she is to save her.
Since so much has happend with all this I realized things in life, how life really is,you may think everything is going perfect in your own little world and just by an instant your life could change completly.Now I know for sure my real best friends are those who have been with me throught all that has happend,and didn't step away from me.I am not the same as I was before,I learned alot out of this.I am not going to deny my frienship to nobody,im just going to be aware of people this time because I personaly don't want to repeat the same story again.

Bravery & Courage

Bravery and courage is one of the most hardest things to do.It may be hard but in some cases it leads to good things in the end.
In my case it didnt lead to nothing at all it mostly lead to oddness and awkardness and just friends.
Well as I remeber in my freshman year I really liked this boy I didnt know his name the only thing i knew for sure is that he was cute ,since I thought I belived in love at first sight or crushing on someone well it happend.I was very shy to ask his name or just to talk to him ever since I saw him it made me curious. Since I was to shy to ask him his name I decided to write him a letter saying that I really liked him ,it wasnt something I wanted to do but I had to suck it up and do it.

I wrote saying how much I liked him without me knowing him and that I would like to get to know him more and stuff like that.In the bottom of the letter I wrote "P.s write back a.s.a.p (as soon as possible)".I remeberit was a friday after school when the bell rang was when I handed him the letter I stappled it and everything.
Well all that weekend I couldn't stop thinking about him,I was so attached to him without me knowing him it was so weird.
That following week I didn't even want to look at him or see him because I had told him everything in that letter and it made me feel uncomftorble him knowing that,it was so realistic that I even felt like regreting it all.
I talked to him thru myspace and I told him "I was sorry for telling him",he told me "why are you sorry?thats nothing to be sorry about".
Later that year he told me he liked some girl I knew who she was,i felt so angry I was so mad that I even said I did'nt like her.
The reason was,was because I liked him I wanted him so bad that I was going to do the impossible just to have him.
I told my friends about him and what he told me about this girl he was crushing on.My friends recommended me to forget him and move on.
For me it was so hard i even said "I can't do this I really like him I can't get over him",they just said it takes time.Honestly I did not want to listen to them so i kept on going.
Sooner or later I got over him I realized their are more fish in the ocean then your will ever think.The reason was I got to know him more and realized what a jerk he was.I am even now good friends with the girl he liked and I appoligized becaus eshe knew I didn't like her.Don't ever think looks are everything because really why be so cute when cute is really the opposite of your personality.Now i could see him just like any other guy I don't get butterflies when I see him nor turn red everytime he looks at me.When i see him I think to myself and say "Wow I can't belive I once noticed him".I don't regret this at all because I learned so much out of this,and thanks to brave and courage it helped me open my eyes.Also don't ever think your not brave enough to do something your looking forward to do.:)

Starfish Story

The starfish story says alot about the meaning of life.
My opinion of the story is that it points out alot of important things in life.
People don't realize that we hold in our hands the power to change a life, a mind, or the world. My moral of this story is that it can inspire so many people, by the way of thinking ,the way they see the world.

La Era Painting By: Diego Rivera

This is one of Diego Rivera's famous paintings named "La Era",it was painted in 1904.
He painted a worker with two horses working sun up to sun down. To me this painting signifies how the field workers get every minute of work done to accomplish their goals in life. I also think that this painting portrays the simpler time when all there was family and work, no technology. I guess I can say they didn't have much to worry about. It was a simpler time than it is now.
Looking at this picture makes me feel like I am there. I can feel the weather and the heat from the picture, it makes me feel like breezy summer evenings when the sun is going down. I really liked this picture!

"Change Will Not Come"

The cause I choose was the "Obama Denounced for Horrible Immigrant Right Records"as I was reading it,I was very angry and disapointed at the article.To me it seems that Obama convinced all these people to vote for him so he ran for our country with so many lies.Since this article talks about how Obama promised he was going to do something about immigration reforms,it talks about how he really is making no difference.In fact I think its very upsetting to know that "The Obama Administration" made 50% more deportations then when Bush was president and that is only in the first year of been our president. If it has only been the first year of Obama as our president just imagine how much people are going to be deported just in the years to come.I thought Obama was going to make a change ,now as I see it he is making a change but that change was not the one promised when he was running in the election. We cannot pretend that just because Barack Obama got elected as our president, suddenly everything is going to be OK.

Liberty For All

"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
By Emma Lazarus, 1883





My reaction to this poem is that it has a meaning of freedon it suppose to inspire immigrants from all over the world that they are welcome in this country.A fact is that it does not work this way.
Honestly I think freedom does not exist for no immigrants what so ever. Building a wall between the U.S border and Mexico is really not freedom, to me its more of a stay away sign and keep out we dont need you here.Sometimes I question if their really was freedom for everyone,every race then why is their walls between some countries and not others?Why can only documented people have jobs in the U.S?the answers to my questions will probly never be answered.
To me it seems that America only wants to stand free by them selfs.

to pursue other ways to get it."
