Life Changing Event

One of the many life changing events that I have had would be when I lost my Tia Tere. That was one of the most devastating days of my entire life. My aunt was the second person I used to look up to. She used to babysit both me and my brother while my mom went to work. I loved spending time with her and my cousin Diane. I used to look up to her because every time she used o give us lectures when we got in trouble. Telling us we needed to appreciate what we had and not wishing what we want to have because our parents work their ass off at work to give us what they can. I loved going to her basketball games since I used make new friends and get in trouble a lot with the security. When she learned how to drive she used to invite my mom, my brother, and me to go to different places. Sometimes we used to stay at her house till 1 in the morning or other times even stayed at her house. But she used to be very strict thought she had a strong character, but she showed she loved us in her own way. My mom told me she inherited that trait from my grandmother since my grandfather never raised his hand on my aunts or my mom. Also, My aunt Tere was a very independent and she always said what she felt not caring if it offended people. Also, if she wanted to accomplish something, she'll do whatever she could to reach her goals.

When the whole family found out she as having her third child, everyone got both excited and happy knowing that their was going to be a new member in the family. My other aunts bought tons of clothing and baby stuff to give her. My aunt Tere was always grateful, but her sisters started to get worried. Before, my aunt Tere used to have very painful migraines, so painful that she had to stay in bed the whole day even thought she hated to because she was like her house to be very clean and organized. So, when it came to the baby shower my aunt looked sickly and tired so my mom asked her what was wrong. My Tere responded by telling her that she was at the hospital the day before because she had her migraines back. The bad thing was that my aunt Tere never told us (the family) that if she decided to give birth to the baby girl she had inside her, she had a high risk of dying. Unfortunately, after she gave birth she seemed very happy as if everything was alright. But, like 3 or 4 days after, she had a paralytic stroke (derrame cerebral). My uncle took her to the hospital, she was about to die but instead she went into coma. When i saw my mom receiving the news, she became extremely worried. he doctors had decided to perform brain surgery on my Aunt Tere in order to save her life, but the consequences were that she was going to become a vegetable. It was devastating because my Aunt tere....didn't survive. When I found out about her death i couldn't believe it, I started crying and tried to comfort my mom. My mom, well she literally fainted and went into deep depression. She used to stay at bed the whole day always crying, wishing all of this was a true and horrible nightmare.

My aunt Tere is still my role model even though she's in a better place now and truly miss her and I love her with all my heart. I learned many things from her, and most importantly that you should appreciate someone and love them with all your heart because one day they might disappear from your life, go away forever......

Parents Are the Best Teachers

I agree with the statement, parents are the best teacI completely agree with this statement because parents have more experience than us teenagers do.Another reason would be that parents are the ones that knows us best so they’ll do the best they can to understand the present and give better advice to us instead of being ignorant.Also, parents teach you what wrong from right.Am I not right?

Even though most teenagers say that parents know nothing about what they are doing or going through, but the truth is that they end up being wrong because parents are the ones with the most experience in life than us teenagers do.For example, once I tried to cook for myself you know try to be a little independent but I didn’t want help from anybody. So my mom saw what I was doing and she told me that I was doing it all wrong but because I was so stubborn I told her that I knew perfectly what I was doing. The funny thing is that my cooking ended up being burned so my mom came and taught me the right way to do it besides that fact that she told me that she’s always right. Another example would be when parents teach you how to dress up. I mean they taught you how to combine clothing according to their colors. If they never taught you that, probably you be looking like a clown wearing different colors or clothing at the same time.Also, if you want to baby-sit your mom or dad are most likely to teach you how to take care of a baby. Most importantly they teach you how to be a good role model. Most parents use their own experience to give their children the best given advice since they love and care for them.

Parents are the ones that know us best so even though the years change they will try to understand them in order to give us good advice. I mean parents now a days have old ways of thinking because some of them think you have to be 18 in order to have a boyfriend! Others are more open minded and not ignorant like others. So for example, these open minded parents try to give the best advice in order to give their child freedom and advice, like knowing who to trust and don’t let yourself be abused or used.Another good example would be the issue with parents in the present. Some parents want their little girl to go virgin in the altar. But I mean the truth is that it doesn’t work that way now a days. So, like I said before, open minded parents try to give their children advice by giving them a sex talk basically by just telling them to use protection and diseases. Also, since parents know us and understand more the life we are going through well if one day they have grandchildren they might give their own children advice on how to take care of their own kids. Would you rather be ignorant or teach your children right from wrong by just listening to them and give advice?

Parents are the ones that teach their own children right from wrong.For example, lets say you are a little kid and you really want something and you decide to simply take it but you get in trouble because you didn’t know that it was wrong to steal, so parents were suppose to tell you that stealing is wrong and the right thing to do is to return the item and say sorry. Another example would be that some bullies exist in school. Probably these students were never told that bothering other kids was a wrong thing to do and the right thing to do is to simply talk t them nicely and not forcing people to be their friend or frightening other kids in order to look “tough”. Also, the right thing is that parents & children trust each other so that kids wouldn’t do the wrong thing which is listening to bad advice from the wrong people. Are your parents teaching you the right way or the wrong way?

In conclusion, I believe that parents are the best teachers that a kid could ever have.I think that this is true because it is obvious that our parents have lived longer than us which means that they have the most experience in life. Also, parents are the ones that knows us best and would be willing to understand the present in order to give us useful and reasonable advice. Another reason would be that parents are the main people that teach us what’s right from wrong. Do you think your parents are doing a good job as being as your mentor?

A Skill Everyone Needs

A very important skill a person should learn in order to be successful in the world today would be "learning how to avoid negative people". One of the many reasons would be having a positive attitute towards different situations. Another reason would be not relying on people for their opinions. My third reason would be responsible for your own happiness. "Jealous people will always be jealous"

As you may already know, most parents and other people who care about you would probably say,” keep your head up high". Meaning to always have a positive attitude no matter what kind of situation you're in. For example, if one of your loved ones got into this huge car accident and you think the worsest things, in that moment you should try to hope for the best and have a lot of faith in god in other words keep your head up high. Another example would be if you are about to lose your job, so obviously people would be giving you a negative attitude telling you that you're going to be fired or you don't belong here, but instead of listening to them you should be thinking the more positive side of it like you could do better and show your boss you deserve this job. A third example would be if you have the kind of parent that don't really care about school and tell you that you are not able to do anything, that's where you should ignore them and not care about what they say because you know that you have the potential to do anything in life if you put your ind and effort to it. It means that you don't really need to pay much attention to any thing that other people say but to believe in what you say or think instead.

As a human being, you don't really need to rely on other people's opinions in order to be successful in life. I believe on not caring what other people say because most of the time they just say hurtful things just to irritate you or make you feel less. For example, you go to this party and dress up to look your best but suddenly when you arrive people start criticizing or judging you for how you look and truly they don't even know you for who you are but for what you wear in the outside. This happens very often with celebrity's, that’s why I think they spend all their money on luxury and beauty because of all the criticism they might hear about them. Another example would be when you cook because sometimes when you have people order you decide to cook but when its time to eat they start criticizing you on your "bad" cooking but you know it's not true so the best thing to do it to simply ignore their disapproval because your opinion is what really counts. My last example would be in the fashion industry. I chose the fashion industry as an example because they say you HAVE to be skinny in order to be a true model but the fact is that people come in all sorts of shapes in sizes, so if you are a model you shouldn’t pay much attention to them because your health his past all those criticism I mean you shouldn't kill yourself of hunger just because someone told you that you're "Fat". These type of people say these things just to make themselves feel more superior and make other people, like I said before, feel less so the best thing to ever do is ignore them and move on.

People these days have to be responsible for their own happiness. For example, if a boy goes out with a girl just to use her, the girl shouldn't be sad if he breaks up with her, she should just move on and just be happy with her life. Another example would be that in all cases if the person knows he or she is not comfortable with the way they are living, they should try to live the "right" way. My last example would be the life of a gang banger. Since even know some gang bangers say they are happy with the way they are living, the majority say they want to leave the gang life to live a happier and more safer life, but once your in, your in the gang for life! That means that they were responsible for their own choice of living because they had the choice of either getting in or not getting into that situation at all. So what I am trying to say is that they were responsible for their life they are living right now because they didn't have the bravery to say NO gang and all that it includes. People that lure kids into that kind of life are basically jelous for not being happy so they want to make other people unhappy,too.

In conclusion, one of the many important skills a person should know in order to be successful in life should be the ability to ignore or avoid negative people. There are many reasons behind this useful skill. Having a positive attitude no matter what kind of situation you're into. Another very important reason would be not relying o people for their opinion because your own opinion is he one that really counts. Also, people are responsible for their own happiness. Like I said before, "Jealous people will always be jealous"!

The Best Day Ever

One of the bestest day of my life would be the absolutely, unforgettable, "Girls Night Out". I remember that day as if it was yesterday. My friends have been planning it for quite a long time actually. It all started like a few days before, we were at school when we were talking and laughing at lunch. The subject about spending time together as friends came up out of no where. My friends and I had an idea of going shopping but I wanted to go to the movies instead. So well took a vote. And surprisingly, most of us decided that we wanted to go to the movies. Later, we started talking and arguing about the movie we all wanted to see. But it was funny thought because Zuly had seen almost all the movies which was difficult, but later on we all, well most of us, decide that we wanted to go see the new movie that came up called "The Eye". There was a little problem though, Jaymee wasn't comfortable with the idea of watching scary movies. So yea, we tried to convince her saying that it wasn't that bad watching scary movies because we were going to be next to her, so she was going to be fine.

Days passed and they were full of stress and laughter, but we were finally relieved that Friday finally came up. For me it was cool because I had a chance to spend time with my friends: Eli,Zuly,Jaymee, Kierra, Jose,Julian,&& Manny. Jaymee's mom, Mrs. Dory, decided to pick us up around 10:00, but at the same time we were hoping that it didn't snow because if it did well Mrs. Dory couldn't drop us off at our houses! So we all met up at Jaymee's house. When all of us were there we got ready and went inside the car. Later, Jaymee's mom dropped us off at the theaters....

And when we arrived, i have to admit that it was total chaos! It was all confusing because when we got there, well everyone wanted to see different movies ! So we spent like 20 to 30 minutes arguing, it was funny though because people were just starring at us. So then we decide to split up. Me && Jaymee were going to see Meet the Spartans. Zuly,Eli,&& Kierra went to see "The Eye". So I found out that we were super late for Meet the Spartans so i got pissed off because they charged me more! But i was like whatever. So we got in and just started playing with the games. Later, we decided to go buy something to eat.

When we finally got to see the movie, we thought it was boring so we just started to fool around throwing popcorn everywhere laughing and just having fun. Even though we saw some disturbing things though. Later on we found out it was getting late, so Jaymee's mom picked us up. And we went to her house. Later on we found out that it was about to be 1 in the morning! And for our luck it was snowing. So we went walking. And it wasn't half bad after all. We had a snow fight, we talked and talked and laughed, too.

Her Smile

When I looked at her smile, I knew she was up to something. I smiled back at her innocent, little look that she had in her face and just simply walked away as if everything was completely normal. I went back to thinking, in my head, and was wondering what was she really up to, though. Later on, i went back to doing the usual: cleaning, doing homework, and babysitting. I have been babysitting little Abbi since she was about 7 months, and now she was completely grown into a young, "sweet" little 5 years old girl. She was tremendously uncontrollable. I have told her parents that she was the devil disguised as an adorable little thing,otherwise i call her Chucky, but they thought i was fooling around. That was completely obvious for them to not really care since all that they would think about was money,money, and money! My friends and family have been telling me for quite a long time to quit the job, but the real reason I have been tolerating Abbi was because I needed the money really bad to help out my family in the crisis since both of my parents lost their job. So, I felt like it was my responsibility the provide my family emotionally and most importantly economically because I was the oldest of the siblings, it didn't really matter to me that i was a girl.


That day that Abbi gave me a suspicious look, like i said i was wondering what she was up to, and i suddenly realized that she has been bragging on and on about going to some birthday party of a "Friend" of hers. So when that thought ran through my head, i immediately ran o look for her. And sadly, I couldn't find her anywhere! So, I went knocking from door to door asking no wait literally yelling at people in a very desperate and worried way, " HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL!!" showing them the cute little picture I had. The day suddenly disappeared and the full Moon shined as if it were the sun of the night. I later found a bench and sat down thinking about all the bad things i had said about her wishing she had never even existed, trying to take all those wishes back but I couldn't because it was to late, i was screwed and heart broken inside thinking i was the worst babysitter ever! So i went walking with my useless sobs back to Abbi's house thinking about how to tell her parents the devastating news.

When i arrived to her house, I saw Abbi! Abbi, the beautiful little girl, playing as if she was never gone. I was so really completely full of happiness and joy. The first thing i did was run towards her and embrace her in my arms, jokingly Abbi said, " okay your squishing me". I laughed and then my smile went down into a huge frown. I scolded at her asking why she almost gave me a heart attack. But sweetly and innocently she told me that she was never gone because she was playing hide and seek. So, i had to admit I learned my lesson.
