What are my thoughts?

Today, there are so many things going on my mind. I want to get out high school because I want to be in college. I want to have a car to be able to go anywhere, with my friends, etc. I want to have money, I want to go snowboarding, I want to visit my family in Mexico. There's a lot more in what to think about. But I started wondering am I able to do this, all the things I want. I realize that somethings are becoming to be real. But others are becoming to be way from me. Because I don't have the same tools as others for starting. Sometimes you hear comments where at some point it makes you feel real bad. Maybe you are wonder why people think that you are not able to do what you want to do. I just to have my life like everyone else. Be a teenager is complicated because so many things happening around you that you don't know where to start. How to know when this thing is totally right or wrong. Nobody is going to complain about it, or someone might be upset for what you did. Life is hard, but harder is to live in it and to learn to survive. After all, living is just a piece of life that you borrow since the first time you open your eyes, when you are a baby. Life is a borrow that you never know when you have to take back and give it to somebody else, just as a baby born.

I try to live my life, I believe and I have so many things that keeps me moving forward. First of all, it is my life, my friends, my hobbies, etc. The hopeless of some day have the my own building. The fact the people coming to have different goals in our lives, most important to keep us forward especially, that when you know what you want.

What would I change about the past year.

I know that I have been doing what I should be doing. There was a lot of things I have done this year. I have making some mistakes. If I have the opportunity of going back and change my past would be the way I express my father how much I love him. I am not really expressive with him. I don't talk to much with him. This one of the first things for sure I would change. I think I would change to put me a reminder of my brother's birthday's, no one remind his birthday. One big mistake because he felt so bad, I told him I didn't forget it. But the truth was that I was forgotten my this situation. There also the way I am acting. I know my personality is changing. I putting things for the last minute. It is one of the things I need to change.

I am still learning this language that for others it is normal but to me is complicated in the way I realize that I still to learn so much from it. Which I have to because it is important. Sometimes this stop in saying something . I am not sure of what to say.

Coming to a new land

I was at school when I started thinking in coming to United States might be a wise idea. I wanted to be with my parents who have been living for almost 7 years. I was confused because I didn't want to leave my place where I was born. But the idea of having my parents, the idea of visiting new places was the most exciting thing in my life. I wanted to learned English just as other people, this was complicated because I have been having some trouble in the English class. I remember that I used to have really bad grades because I did n 't know a numerable words to be able to write a simple sentence on my paper. I always had this class after lunch. I was just hoping that the lunch never end up. Because I was afraid with the only reason on thinking about those assignments that they were really killing me. It was impossible to me do that. I had to ask for help and sometime I copied part of the homework from my friends. But still, I couldn't pass this class.

The English teacher wasn't very friendly to ask for help. Sometimes she was nice, sometimes she used to make jokes from somebody. But others times, she was just a pain, because she angry for reasons that we did not know. I think she was having some trouble with his life. It is funny. It comes to my mine, when we were waiting for the teacher outside of the classroom. It was a little bit after lunch. Somebody, thought it was pretty smart of him to put some toothpicks on the door's lock. When the teacher came from her lunch. She tried to open the door. But this was impossible because the lock has something in it. But she didn't know. Some of us knew this. But, could not tell her because we might be suspended. It was a good reason, and a point for her because we did not like her. We were the bad group because we were always putting her in the bad situation. She was pretty nice in some part of the deeply of her heart.

It was nice time, but yet I was not sure in coming to United States. I wanted to meet new people. One day, my mom called, she asked me quieres venirte para aca donde estoy yo. (would you like to com here USA) I said with a huge enthusiastic claro que si mami. (of course mom) I was not sure, but I said yes, it was the first thing it came to my mine.

Time was still passing and I had to be decide in what my life is was going to be about. I had to decide whether to stay in the little town or to be in the city. Of course I wanted to live in the city but It was sad to live my town where I was born where I spend all my childhood in Puerto Escondido. The next time when my mom asking if I wanted to come where she was living. I said to her I wanted to. My was having this problem, she thought my brother and I wouldn't be able to study. She was saying that people had been told her that it was impossible to have an education. I said to mom that it wasn't really true. But I really didn't have an idea of what she was talking about. I just wanted to go away.

We supposed to be living from Puerto Escondido, after we have done with the school. The problem was, we didn't kn0w who are we coming with. My wanted to come to pick us up. Then come back with her. It was really because I was about to see my mom after 4 and a half years. That was fantastic. It was really exciting. Well, I think something happen and after all, my mom is was not coming. But my dad was coming for us. He wanted to come because he was having more time without see us each other. He wanted to come because he wanted to visit his family and friends. The decision was made. My dad came for us. It was happiness.

We were out of school already. I used to go work with my uncle. I was a waiter. It was pretty cool work with them. Since It was my first job. It was pretty nice to me. The funny thing that I used to ride my bike to work every single morning. It would take to 20 or 30 minutes, depending of how fast I was. Any ways that is another story. Back to where I was. We were out of school , one morning it was strange, because I felt something was happening. I knew that my dad was arriving but I didn't know the exaclty time or the day. I remember It was Saturday morning I wake up. I about to eat, actually I was having my breakfast, breakfast that my grandmother was cooking for us. After all, she was nice with us. I was nice to her. I heard the bird singing but in a peace way that you feel that something was coming to you. You don't even realize of what was happening until you see it. It was tremesdouse cool. I heard a taxi was coming. So a taxi make a stop in front of my front door, strange because usually there no taxis around my area, especially during the breakfast time. I did not put much attention to it. I let it go. I thought it might be my older brother coming from his job. Sooner I heard my mother yelling es tu papa, tu papa esta aqui ( is your dad, your dad is here.) My mine had in white. I didn't thing anything, I just got out of my seat and I run to hug him. I told my brother is dad. come on, let's helping him. He was carrying his luggage and some gifts for us. First thing I heard from him was como estas mijo( how are you son?) I gave a huge hug. But some reason this hug was too weird. I felt that something was missing. I felt that this hug was empty and that the presence of him was strange after 7/ 8 years of not being with him...

It felt strange this day, maybe is because the presence of my dad was missing. I felt that my dad was somebody strange that was visitin us. My dad was strange. I think it was because he was for a long time without us. My dad there to stay for almost a month and then combat with my mom, she was waiting for us in minnesota. We prepared everything to come. I really didn't say bye to my friends because I thouhght it would be like wishing me bad luck. It might sound weird and I was something my mom told me since I was kid. So I think this may influence in this decision of not saying good bye to any of my friends. I do remember that there was one girl from who I said bye to her. She was my best friend and I haven't see her since I left. She wished me good luck. I feeling so because I do want to talk to her so badly. The deal is that I can not have connection with her. I don't have her number. She is not living where she used to. You have pass by several things when it comes to immigrate for x reason.

It was the time to come, we had to leave early before the sunset to take the bus to our destiny. I remember I was saying good bye from my grandmother and my old brother. Everything come very fast but at the same time it was exciting the idea of pretty soon see my mom again. Reason to keep me moving forward.

The Furious of the Hurracane

Yes like I was saying, my dad had a petit argument about my action. Things had been passed. I thought everything would be ok. Things started to be worse because of the fairly economy in our petit house which very poor. It was like those houses that you only see in the movie town. My petit house was made all wood. It was simple but comfortable. We were living there for almost 14 or 15 years. I am not really sure. I barely remember much about when I was kid.

I do remember few things. This was impossible, the petit house where I used to live stay safe. I remember this day that we were passing by a terrible hurricane. The Pauline hurracane. I could not believe that our petit house aguanto(I don't know the word)... what a minute. My petit house resist the hurracane. I remember, my parents were outside of the house try to tie the techo (top of the house) to evite that the air take the roof out of the house. I was only a kid, I couldn't help so much. I was sitting in a almost sofa, my little brother was sleeping and I was taking care of him. It was tremensdously, the air was blowing so hard. We were in the middle of the hurracane. I was scared because my parents were outside tiering the roof. But at the same time I was safe because I hoping that my house could resist the hurracane. I wanted to see how the hurracane look like. I asked my mom that I wanted to see outside the house. My said "tu estas loco, esta muy feo afuera, quedate aqui dentro" (your are crazy, it is too bad outside, you better stay here). I was kind of courious that I wanted to see what was happening. Like my house was made of wood. It was litte separated bewteen the woods. I found it helpful that I stick my face close to one. I was trying to see outside. I was really terrible. All the tree were almost bending. The air was too strong I could barely see anything. I was hard to see if you wanted to drive. Nobody would be taking the risks.

I am not sure about how long this hurracane took place. What I do remember was that it was raining all day long. It was a school day. I was happy because I wasn't able to go school so I was the best thing to me. I was staying at home, taking my cafe con pan( coffee with bread) It was a good thing to me. But unanfourtanley, it was for others who were been affecteed by the furious of the huracan pauline.

Everything was passed already, but the next mornig everything was looking different because of the hurracane. It looking sad, very sad and lonely. When my mom asked to go to buy some tortillas. I saw peopl e trying to repair part of their houses. Others were not even there. Some of the house had parts took away by the strong air. Some trees were down or in the top of some houses. It was pretty sad. Everything looked weird. It was the effects of the hurracane.

The Huge Impossible

Every one has and is having a dream. I had it my dream and I am living it. One day I was at home. All of this happened when I was living in Mexico. I was in highs school or what we usually called preparatoria. I was in second semester. I was almost end it the first year of my high school (preparatoria). My parents were not living with me. They were decided to be live in the United States. They wanted to have a better life. I stayed with my brothers and my grandmother. I was living with for almost 3 or 4 years. The absence of my parents were very important. I was feeling stress because I was kind of in charge of raising my little brother. I was very uncomfortable at first living with my grandmother. My told me that I was a trouble with grandmother when I did not like to her. I don't know why If was a little petit baby. Otherwise I had to live with my grandmother and my half-brother. We did not have a fabulous relation with my brother because he was living with my grandmother. We lived separated for almost 15 years. We seen us each other for barely times. I remember one day that I went to visit him. My parents were still living in Mexico. I was in my grandmother's house. It found one petit casita (little house) I thought It was the most amazing little thing on my life. I took it and I started to play with it. Then my brother saw me playing with his petit house. It was really his house. I did not know. He got mad very soon. He almost hit me. My dad stops him. Then my grandmother entered in a discussion with my dad because of this.

Criteria on my writing

I think I am doing a nice job. Since I started, maybe I am not writing long enough as much as my others classmates. I know that this is not my first language and it is complicated sometimes. I also know that I still learning in my knowledge of the language. But It is not a big deal. I know I am able to realize this exercise. Which in certain way, It is helping me my academic achievement. I know that It could be at some part of my assignments phrases that do not make any sense. I am really trying to improve this minimum problem. Because I know It would go away with the practice and the study.

"This my favorite word because it all about me. First of all I did wish to have another, being able to chose my own name. But then I realize that my name is unique because it represent who I am. and uniqueness is printed in my name." it seems to make sense, once I reading again it kind me think in rewriting it.

Economy turn down

Economy the magic word that everyone is talking about. Everyone is worried because of this issue that is affecting most of the society. Especially, huge and powerful factories such as car factories and related. Until now I thought the economy it could not be a big issue. I realize that is the most important ingredient in a society. I heard about recession. I really don't know what was this word. I never heard before. Maybe I have never experimented before. But now, I know that it has to be with the GDP of the country. GDP in the united states is lower than normal.

This issues is in everywhere, TV News and so on. I also heard that we been in recession from the months ago, but now is when is declaring that United States is in recession. I hope that this issues do not take longer, because the longer it takes the more people would be losing their jobs, families would be fighting a big problem in relation to the economy. The expert in the theme says the recession usually takes around 10 months or less. But unfortunately, they also predict this recession would be longer than a year.

This is kind of funny because the dealers in order to get rid of the new vehicles, they are doing some offers. I was not expecting these. Buy a car and you get another for free. That is really weird because usually seems on clothes, notebooks, etc. but not in car. At some point, I think the economy is getting really bad. There are a lot of dealers especially are getting close because of consumers. We are playing an interesting role, but how are we going to buy when we are losing our jobs. We are not getting incomes. In particular, I am stable for now. I hope not to experiment as others people.

Critical post for some.

It is hard to read trouhg everyday. It probably take longer. But scannig through this blog I can notice that this person has a descriptive style of her life is about. It is most about memories during her life. It is pretty interesting listen to stories because most of us has one that is similar to one of these. I think that there is no wrong way to express you feelings. There are differents ways.

I think this person likes to write basically about her family. It is interesting to hear stories when she/he was a child. I would say that the type of writing of this person very descriptive because almost give many details of what really is talking about.

I notice that has good grammar writing with a high level of vocabulary. It has a good puntuaction. I think her writing is intend to people who would like to hear stories. I really think that this blog it is really in a descriptive language. I think this person is very expressive and that she express in her writing.

Greeetings

Hello everyone, I hope you have a good time. I went to dance with my girlfriend. I went to watch movies. I went to watch Transporter 3. It was pretty intensive. I liked because it is most action. I love action movies. I also love my name. This my favorite word because it all about me. First of all I did wish to have another, being able to chose my own name. But then I realize that my name is unique because it represent who I am. and uniqueness is printed in my name.

There this word called fabulous, I learned this word when I had Booker's class. He always use to say this word. I heard it so many times. I had facisnated in using it. I think it is pretty cool. I eat so much, but I could not sleep as ate. I am kind sleepy today. I had to work on weekend and this in certain way took my energy out. Hopely, the next would be more fascitanig...
