Stay

Stay by Alesia Cara is one of my favorite songs that I listen to because of its beat and lyrics. I think that this song is phenomenal. When ever I start to listen to it I start to sing along and get lost in the song because it's a good one. I found out about the song because my friend suggested it to me and I decided to listen to it and it was really really good. I thought I wasn't going to like it because the songs that she tells me to listen to I usually don't like but she does. So when she showed me this song I just kept on listening to it non stop.

Getting my retainers

This Tuesday after school I went to the dentist to get my retainers. I was apprehensive because I didn't know if they would hurt. When I got to the dentist I went on my phone to calm down my nerves so that when they called me I wouldn't be so nervous. When I went into the room and sat down the dentist told me that it wouldn't hurt because they just put on a little button and then they push the retainers on. The first day I had them on it was not fun because they hurt and I wasn't used to having them on. But now I'm used to them and they don't bother or hurt me as much as they did before.

Meeting my big family from Mexico

When I went to visit Mexico last year I met my big family and let me just say there were many people I met and very few names I learned. While I was in Mexico I mostly just stayed at my grandmas house from my moms side. I liked her house because it was clean and there was so much room that there was a little living room upstairs. I liked it over there because there wasn't so many cars and there weren't many lights it was also quiet and peaceful at night. While I was at my grandmas house I had to be very organized with the room I was staying in and had to make sure I didn't have a mess. I actually do miss Mexico because it was peaceful and the air just smelled so different then it does here. When I go back next summer I will try and talk more with my family because the first time I went I didn't talk much with my family because I didn't really know them.

The Hunger Games

By: Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games is about kids from different districts getting picked to go into a battle between each one and there could only be one winner. The capital chooses one girl and one boy from each district to participate in the fight to death. The book pretty much focuses on one girl from district twelve who is Katniss Everdeen. She knew how to hunt with a bow that she hide in the forest that was on the other side of the fence that her district was trapped in. Once she's in the Games the capital decides to let two young ones live but they had to be from the same district so Katniss has to find Peta that is the boy that was chosen from her distict.

I think people should read this book because it has a lot of action and Katniss was always distinguished when the capital saw her because she didn't show any kind of emotion in the beginning and she made sure that the capital saw her as a strong independent woman who can take care of herself in the fight.

     This is how the book and movie look like

An Ending Means A New Beginning

When something ends its a new beginning to your next adventure. For me once I finish Middle School it would end another school year but once I enter high school it's a new beginning to a different life experience. Everything has an end but it's also a beginning to a new adventure in your life. I want to trace my thought of going to college once I finish high school which would be an end and a beginning for any students that are 8th grades right now,

BabySitting Little Devils

On Saturday's I take care of my two little cousins who are two boys the oldest is 7 years old and his brother is 2 years old. They are like little devils just running around the house making a mess.The 2 year old one is hyperactive when they drop them off. He runs across the kitchen and then back to the living room then back to the kitchen he just goes back and forth most of the time. Sometimes they are calm but it's rare to see them calm because they usually go play and they create a big mess in the living room which I have to pick up. I get payed $30 for taking care of them which is sometimes worth it taking care of them. They are fun to play with at times but sometimes they are just too happy or excited. At the end of the day they make me happy and excited for next Saturday.

Meeting my crazy, funny, nice friends

When I first came to Heritage Middle School I didn't know anyone besides the kids who went to my school. I felt apprehensive because I had to meet new people and I am very shy and don't like to talk to people I don't really know. After a while people started to talk to me and i met new people. I met two girls who were around my height so I didn't really feel like a giant because I was taller than most of the sixth graders. We then started to become more closer and now they are mostly the only ones I hang out with in school and out of school because we just connected from the moment we meet each other. Now we are three best friends that can't be separated

Maximum Ride

Maximum Ride The Angel Experiment 

By: James Patternson

 Maximum Ride is about six kids who have wings and they are being chased by erasers. Erasers are Wolf like humans. The oldest kids are Max, Fang, and Iggy the youngest ones are Nudge, The Gasman, and Angel. Ari who is an Eraser took Angel to the lab also known as the school. Max and the flock go and rescue Angel but some obstacles get in the way while they are on the rescue.


I suggest you reading Maximum Ride because it's an amazing book. This is the first book out of 9 in total. They series is really good and I think people should read the books if they like action type of books. When my friends told me about the book I thought that I wouldn't be good but once I started reading it I didn't want to put the book down.

Holocaust movie that made me cry

The movie Life is Beautiful was a phenomenal I suggested it to people who can take things seriously. Life is beautiful is similar to the readings we have read because they both talk about how all the victims were just taken away from their homes and put on trains. The trains would just take them to concentration camps and drop them off there. They were also similar because they both talked about how people were killed in gas chambers where people were sent to "shower." Both the movie and readings talked about how kids were also sent there and then sometimes killed because they couldn't work. The movie and articles and poems talked about how people were just killed for standing up or because they were to weak to work. Some differences were that the father of the little boy in the movie was being positive about it to not show that they were going to be living there to his little son. Another difference was that the poems that we read were based off a kids view while in the movie it was based off of a mans point of view. Also most of the readings didn't really talk about the persons life before they were sent to the concentration camps and the movie told the story of the man.

The difference between the movie Life is Beautiful is that the father is being positive and in the readings the people were being negative about the concentration camps. In the readings they were talking about how sad and terrible it was to be living in the concentration camps. In the movie the father was being positive so that his child wasn't scared. Something similar about the mood was that the father was also scared for his child like in the readings and also in the readings and in the movie it talked about how every time the victims were working they came back tired and hungry. In the movie it showed how the victims in the concentration camps were skinny enough that you could see their bones and in the readings it also talked about how the victims were not feed correctly and how they were able to see their bones because of how skinny they were. Well the point of view in the movie the character cause the movie to be a bit humor because the father was doing funny things such as taking away the hat from the other man. Also by flirting with many women such as a teacher, and faking to be a important person for a school and doing things such as going onto the table and showing his belly button to the students.

The movie showed a beautiful things throughout the film because before they were sent to the concentration camps they began a life married and with a little boy that they had. Also the man (the father) did many things to impress the teacher (the mother) so that he could get her and marry her because he loved her. Also throughout the film the father kept making his son believe they were playing a game which was beautiful because most of the time most kids already knew that they were sent to that place because they were part of one of the victims groups. Most of the movie was making it a beautiful film because it showed the life of a man before he was sent to a concentration camp and then when he was making sure that his son survived and wasn't killed. It was sad at the end of the movie because the father died but he at least made sure that his little boy was able to survive. Another beautiful part in the movie was when the little boy found his mother at the end of the movie.

Swallowing Coins

I will be explicit about what I will be talking about in this blog.When I was younger I used to swallow coins by the heater, I would go behind the couch and sit by the heater and sometimes put the coins into the heater or I would put them in my mouth and swallow them. I have no idea why I would do this but I do remember swallowing many coins even quarters.  My family didn't know until now when I told them last month or so. It was funny to see their reaction because I always thought that they knew but I guess not. I kind of believe that's why I would always be able to swallow my allergy pills when I was smaller. Well now you know something that I used to do when I was smaller.

Home

Propaganda

This poster stood out to me because it says "Mothers! Fight For Your Children!" This poster I believe is trying to convince mothers of Jews to make them hide their children and making them survive. Also to help give their children the rights that the German kids have. I also believe that they are trying to convince women to fight for what they believe will make their children's life better.

Regretting

I would like to summarize what I regretted not doing. I regret not helping my mom with the chores in the house when she got home to help me. She woke up at 4:30am and I woke up later then her and she was tired when she got home when I didn't do anything all day. I regret not helping her because she worked early in the morning and comes home tired, but I never do anything except go to school and come home to eat and do homework.

Wanting to meet CNCO

I want to meet CNCO because I love their music and I they are just amazing people. All of them are still young the oldest of them is 21 years old. I like how they preserve even though they don't know what to write for their songs. We would go to a restaurant to eat and then maybe to sixflags because I would love to know if they like heights or not and it would just be a fun day. Before the day ended I would ask them if they enjoy each other's company. If they prank each other often. Lastly if they enjoyed their with me. I think it would be worth meeting them because they went through a lot to get to where they are right now because they became a band after they all won in the tv serie La Banda. I would just be so happy if I got to meet them.

Why this commercial was touching

I traced the 84 Lumber commercial because it showed a little girl who was leaving Mexico and was going to America. The little girl then started to collect things along the way and once her and her mom reach the border, they find a tall wall that can't be climbed. It was like a door for them closed because they traveled far to be able to go over to America. When the man finished building he left a door that was wooden door there so that people could cross. It was touching for me i think this is the first commercial that got to me.

Advice I Have For Mr. Trump

Some advice that I have for Mr. Donald Trump is that when he said he would take away all the immigrants then there wouldn't be anyone in this land except for the people that were born here in America. Also Trunp is being subjective about all immigrants and if he forces them back they are going to fight and say that they are not like others but he wouldn't care so maybe he sophould consider on just taking the ones that have caused problems back not the ones that just live a normal life.

The Worst Argument I Have Ever Had In My Life

I will be retelling about the worst argument I had when I was younger. The worst argument I had was with one of my best friends now. Back then in elementary school I didn't get along with her because she was also one of my best friends, friend and we would fight for her and we didn't like each other for two years but then in fourth grade we started to get to know each other and we actually saw that we could be friends and now we are really close. We go to the same school and we even hangout together with two other girls when ever we get a chance to and talk about things that we have on our minds. I'm really happy that I got to know her because she is a great person and really talented.

My Confidence and My Shyness

I would like to explain why I'm  mostly shy during school but when I'm outside of school I'm not shy because I'm with my family and I know them. In school I'm shy because I don't know the kids well and I don't talk because I don't really know what to say. When I'm with my friends I'm not shy because I know them and I feel comfortable around them. I have book talks in E.L.A and I always get red and I always stutter because I don't like haveing a lot of attention. I'm confident about who I am because I'm proud of the person hat I have becomed throughout the year.

Where I'm From

I am from hard-working people
From climbing mountains
To cutting cactus

I am from a single mother and father
From long working hours
To coming home tired

I am from a full of irritating cousins, aunts, uncles, and siblings
Who never leave me alone
Never let me relax

I am from rocky streets
From street that become hills
From hills that become rivers

I am from a farm full of life
From cows to chickens to donkeys
To feeding each one

From hiding in the back of a truck
To crossing the border
To giving our family a better life

I am part of a loving family

An Act Of Kindness I Did Over Break Also What I Did Over Break

Something kind that I did over break was that I put the cart from the grocery store back in the row so that the guy that was collecting them didn't have to go and get the cart.

What I did over break was sleep in all the days and then I did the chores that I had to do in my house. So,etimes after I did chores I would go out with my dad mostly to the mall. When Christmas came we went over to my aunts house to open the presents so we didn't have a mess in my house like we always do. What I got for Christmas made me happy because I got the shoes that I have been asking for. I also got 3 other pair of shoes and a sweater a hollister gift card and $100 I guess this Christmas my family saw me without shoes.
