Final Essay

   This is my final writing assignment for my summer school class. I am glad to finally get on break but I am also going to miss this class. I learned a lot from this class and I also got meet some new people. Also it even brought old friendships closer together. What I really liked about this class is that I got express myself in my writing. Another reason is because Mr. Leh showed us what’s going on in the world right now. If it wasn’t for this class I probably wouldn’t know much about what’s going on out there. If I was at home during the beginning of this summer I wouldn’t know how serious the oil spill is and its really destroying the environment in the Gulf. When he showed our class the videos of what’s going on out there it made me want to do something about it. I got that feeling because it’s not fair to the animals or anybody. The greedy oil company just wants money and after the problem happens they just run away. They absolutely have no responsibility. Wild life and people are suffering because of the oil companies mistakes. Another interesting video that Mr. Leh showed us was one about the sun. The video said that the sun is going through a solar storm. When I heard that then I really started listening. The broadcaster in the video said that there might a good chance that the solar storm would hit the earth. I really wasn’t worried about that because we are protected by the earth’s magnetic field. But the broadcaster said that it would knock out all of our satellites. Now that’s a big problem and I wouldn’t of had known that if it wasn’t for summer school.

   This class has really helped me figure out who I really am and what I need to do with my life. I learned that I really need to work hard in school to have a good life. I especially need to work hard on my education because I am an immigrant. My family and I are relying on the dream act. The dream act is especially for immigrants. It says that if you graduate than you have a good chance to go to college. Also the best thing about it is that you can gain legal residency. That’s why parents are always pushing me to do well in school and that this is my chance to succeed in life. I don’t want to let them down and I want to make them proud. My goal for now is to graduate and maybe go to college if I get the opportunity. I would like to go to college but I don’t think we would be able to afford it. But now I am just trying to get through high school and just hoping for the best. Thank you Mr. Leh for showing me and everyone else what’s really going on out there. I have learned a lot about you and I really hope I have you for English 11 next year.

My Earth Letter To The President of the United States

Dear Mr. Obama,

   Hello my name is Noe Hernandez I am writing this letter to help convince you to help stop the oil spill in the Gulf. My English teacher is always showing are class all of the videos from the Gulf. He also shows us all the things that they say on the news. I am bugged by everything that he shows us. I always wonder why people don’t do anything about it. I know a lot of people that don’t even know what’s going on right now. If you spoke up maybe everybody would know. You have been an oaky president definitely better than bush. If you fix this big problem then I would consider you a great president. This is a great disaster so far and everybody knows that this can get even worse. My teacher showed me something else on the news that frightened me. He showed us an episode that showed an estimate of where the oil would end up if it couldn’t be contained. It showed the oil going through the coast of Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida. But the oil wouldn’t stop there the scientist said that the oil would make its way up the east coast and spread out into the Atlantic Ocean. After that it would by the end for us. Everything would be contaminated and most wildlife would become instinct. So Mr. President Please help the Gulf and stop the oil spill.

“ Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.”
W. Clement Stone

“Our environmental problems originate in the hubris of imagining ourselves as the central nervous system or the brain of nature. We're not the brain, we are a cancer on nature.”

Dave Foreman

“I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?”
Robert Redford

“We're in a giant car heading towards a brick wall and everyones arguing over where they're going to sit.”

David Suzuki

“The more we exploit nature, The more our options are reduced, until we have only one: to fight for survival.”

Morris K. Udall

"Mother Nature. She really helped us. I believe She saved us."

Scott Maddox

“Given the damage that just one oil spill could do to a coastal community, it seems to me that undoing the moratorium is just not worth it,”

Frank Pallone

“There is an average of over 500 oil spills a year on Alaskan North Slope, and over 4,000 spills in the last 10 years. Let's not pollute one of the great last refuges of America,”

Maria Cantwell

“Daily air and water pollution, tar balls and oil spill threats would result from oil and gas drilling in the Gulf. There are many cleaner, faster and cheaper solutions to solving our energy challenges.”

Susan Glickman

"The sun, the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago... had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands."

 ~Havelock Ellis

   These are all environmental quotes you should really think about these and how true they are. The very first quote that I put up is the one that should affect you. If you don’t fix this problem on time then you will let down not only the American people but the whole world. So please Mr. Obama try and fix this problem with all you got and save Humanity

Sincerely,

Noe Hernandez

Persuasive Essay: School Uniforms

   Agree or disagree with students wearing uniforms in high school. Well I disagree with the people that think that we should wear uniforms to school. I don’t know what the point of wearing uniforms in high school is. In high school kids are already maturing and starting to become adults, they have the right to wear whatever they want. Of course what you wear has to be appropriate. What’s wrong with what we wear today? The only thing that we are doing is being ourselves. Since when is it wrong to be ourselves? If you make students wear uniforms in high school it would be kind of like taking their freedom away.

   It’s wrong to make kids wear something that they don’t like. It is also a big distraction to the students. If the kids don’t like to wear uniforms they will be complaining about it. So they would be more focused on not wearing uniforms than education. If we didn’t wear uniforms then the parents wouldn’t have to worry about their kid talking about what they’re wearing and talking more about their education. I really think that a uniform for high school students is not a good idea. I think that they should just leave that topic alone and leave it as is.

   I think that there is only one benefit to uniforms. That benefit is that the parents might same just a little bit of money. That’s because they would only need to buy their kid a couple pairs of uniform clothes. That’s the only thing that I see in uniforms that’s why I am against wearing them for high school students. There are way more distractions for us if they make us wear uniforms. Uniforms are for middle school and also elementary. I think we just need to keep it that way.

Unique Essay

   What separates me from most of the people; well I don’t know what unique characteristics I have. I think that I just fit in with the people. The only thing that I really like to is play sports and also play video games. The reason that I like to play sports is because you have a lot of fun and you are usually working out at the same time. My favorite sports are football basketball and baseball. Baseball not as much I only like it because I am a Red Sox fan. I have tried playing base ball before but I didn’t really like it. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t really good at it. I started liking the Red Sox after they won the World Series back in 07. I think that was the year.

   My most favorite sport is football. I love playing football especially on the streets. I like playing on the streets because there are no rules and no padding. You can play with anybody you’d like. On the streets it not so much about team work it’s more about the individual plays. Usually teamwork only goes into play when you ask for it. The team that starts using team work usually always wins unless the other team is better. I like being aggressive and fast in the beginning of games. But the bad thing about that is that I get gassed pretty early. All I need is about a one minute break and I am good again. I haven’t played football in a while. I would like to play it more often over the summer. I have a couple of friends that up by where I live and they like to play football. We used to play a lot a while back but for some reason we suddenly just stopped. This summer I want to get the crew back together and start playing some more football.

   Basketball is a great sport. I was never really into it when I was little. I think its because I never really understood it. I didn’t start watching basketball until I was like about 12. I was bored and there was nothing on TV. All that was on was basketball. So I decided to watch it for a bit. I was amazed on the athleticism of all of the players. I seen how they were making all of their shots I thought it was easy to do what they did. But it was only because they made it look easy. I decided I wanted to try shooting and see if it was really easy or not. I got to a little court by the park and I stood at the free throw line. I told myself wow this looks easy, I shot the ball and I didn’t even get close to the rim. I told myself what a major fail. I tried again and again I couldn’t make anything. Then I seen someone go to the other basket and he also went to the free throw line. He shot and swished it then I tried and it was just another air ball. I turned around and I seen him make another. I noticed that he was bending his knees so I tried the same thing and I finally made it. I was happy I could finally make free throws and now I think its lame now that I know more about basketball. Ever since then I liked watching and playing basketball. Eventually I became a Celtics fan. People tell me it’s just because they won the NBA Championship. But they are wrong I like them because they are a good team and they’re from Boston. That’s pretty much it for my basketball.

   The one main thing that I love to do when am not playing any sports is playing video games. If I am at home I’m probably playing video games. I have liked playing video game my whole life. I started playing them when I was about 5 years old. I remember that it was the best gift that my dad ever gave me at that time. It was called a Super Nintendo and it came with one of the best games of all time, Super Mario Bros. My dad connected it to the TV and he started to play it because I didn’t even know how to play it. It looked cool I remember all the little monsters getting smashed by Mario. Then my dad showed me how to play I caught on pretty fast but it took me a while to get good at it. After the Super Nintendo I got the game boy then the 64 I had most of those consoles from the past. Years past and technology advanced they finally invented the play station 2 and the Xbox. I had the ps2 I loved playing that system until the Xbox 360 and the ps3 came out. I now have an Xbox 360 because I can’t afford the ps3 ha-ha. My favorite games that I always are Modern Warfare 2, Halo 3, and UFC Undisputed 2009. That’s really much it for my life and what I like to do on my free time.

My How To Do Manual/How To Make Enchiladas

   Enchiladas are one of my most favorite Mexican foods. Chili tortilla rolled up stuffed with cheese and smothered with it as well. You can different kinds of enchiladas. You can make green chili or red chili enchiladas. Also you can stuff it with almost anything. You stuff it with beef chicken and any other kind of meet. You can have many combinations and the good thing is you can choose whatever you like. I am going to show how to make my favorite type of enchiladas. They are red chili chicken enchiladas.

   The first thing you have to do of course is to get all the supplies you need. You will need some chicken, tortillas, chili, cheese, beans, and rice. After you have the supplies you will put the chili in water. You will until it starts boiling and the chili gets soft. Then you will get the chili and put it in a blender and blend it until it is smooth. Then you will put the chili in a pot and heat it up. That’s the chili part.

   Now it’s the tortilla part. This part is actually the easy part. What you is you get a pan. And put some oil in it just enough to cover the whole bottom of it. Then you heat it up after its warm you put the tortilla in the oil and let it sit there until it start getting a little crisp. Then you flip it over. Then when both sides look okay take it out. Make sure it’s not to crisp so you can roll the tortillas. After take the tortilla out you dip it in the chili on both side and just lay it on a plate. You repeat the same thing over and over depending on how much you want. You just make a little stack on that little plate.

   Now it’s time for the chicken, I only know what to do after it’s cooked. I don’t know how to cook it yet. Well after the chicken is cooked and ready you start to shred it with hands. The pieces should be small and thin. You shred as much chicken you think would be good enough for the amount of enchiladas you have. After its all shredded you pull out a plate and you go to your already chili covered tortillas. You put as much chicken as you want on the tortilla as long as you are able to roll it. After you put the chicken on the tortilla you roll it up and put it on the plate that you pulled out. You can roll up as many tortillas as you want. You are now done with the hard part.

   Now all you need is the cheese beans and rice. The beans and rice should already be ready. I am only showing you how to make the enchiladas. Anyways you get the cheese and spread it all over the top of the enchiladas. And your enchiladas are done. Finishing touches are you just put a side of beans and rice. You will put some cheese on your beans if you choose. And Your Enchilada Plate is done Enjoy!

My Alphabet Story/The Banana Cow

   A cow was sitting in the field just relaxing and looking up at the clouds all alone by itself. Bananas are very healthy and what was all the cow liked to eat during its very long breakfast. Cows are very big animals that love to eat anything especially if it’s very good, but this cow was a special cow because it liked to eat only bananas. Dead banana peels were all over the cow’s field, it smelled horrible but the cow didn’t care because it liked bananas. Everyone that tried to go into the fields would slip on the banana peels and fall eventually become injured. Foreign cows were not allowed at all on the cows field the limit to field for the cow was one because it was a very stingy cow. Good things came for the cow because of this the cow had had more to eat itself and even more bananas that came from the trees around it. Hatred went towards the cow from all of the other animals because it did not want to share its land or food with them. In the cows head were some pretty interesting things like it major intelligence and bananas mostly just bananas.

   Jewish people lived by the cow’s field but they tried to stay as far away as possible from it because of the horrible smell. Killer flies were all over the cow’s field that was another reason that the Jewish people stayed away from the field. Like all other cows the cow would always moo it really annoyed everything and anyone around it. Many flies would get on the cow and banana peels they really bugged the cow but there was nothing it could do. Nobody liked the cow at all because of how acted but the cow didn’t care and it just lived out its life. Overnight things got a bit interesting that was the only time other animals had a chance to get on the cow’s field because it was sleeping. People always passed by there but only for a moment because they usually run away from the smell or they would just throw up. Questions would be asked on why the cow would act the way it did but it was because it was highly intelligent. Rivers were fresh around the cow because it was the only animal that used it the other animals used other sources of water.

   So many banana peels the cow would start slipping on them but it would never became injured because it had extremely strong muscles. The cow learned how to move the bananas peels because it was so smart; it moved most of them to the side. Under the trees there were bunches and bunches of bananas just laying there waiting to be eaten by the cow. Vegetables were good for the cow but it didn’t like eating them. When will the cow leave, probably never until it dies. X rays would be done to the cow after it died to see what its strong bones looked like. Younger cows would then be able to live on that land and eat the cow’s food. Zeppelins would then just fly over the land to see the peaceful cows from above.

My New Identity

   My life in Albuquerque sucked so bad that I had to move and completely change my life. I had enough of all that crap that I had to go through in that place. It was mostly just problems and having to run away from people. I planned out where I was going and what I was going to do after I got there. I decided to move back home to Mexico. I was excited on going back but I was sad at the same time because I wasn’t going to be able to go back to my family that lives over there. The reason was because the people that I had problems with back in Albuquerque knew were my family lived in Mexico. I am only 21.

   Mexico was a great place to start my new life. I went to Culiacan, Sinaloa. That’s where I was originally born. People say that that is where the cartels originally started. I think that that is pretty cool. The only bad thing is that the cartels kill a lot of people. When I moved back I had a pretty nice truck and jewelry. I dressed like a real Mexican with nice boots, belt, and a tejana. A tejana is a sombrero made out of something that felt like swayed and it looked like it to. I looked on Google it’s called a denim hat in English. Well anyways I needed to change my name so people couldn’t find me. I decided that my new name would be Guillermo.

   A week past it was okay. I was getting used to the life style in Mexico. It’s always hot over there and there are a lot of people. People are friendly but they are also always paranoid because of all of the drug cartels. They don’t just kill people that owe them money. They also kill innocent people just to send a message. I had just got home from the store, I was buying some Mexican goods, and some guy just came up to me. He was dressed like the style I had described to you earlier. But his clothes and jewelry looked way more expensive than mine. He had diamonds all over his rings and belt buckle. I looked behind him he had a big truck like mine but his had bigger rims. He went up to me and asked me where I was from and where I had came from. I didn’t know what to see because I knew that he was from the cartel. The only way that he could afford what he had was by getting easy money (selling drugs).

   What I was about to say would have probably determined my life. I asked him where he came from. He was surprised that I had the guts to ask him where he was from. He said that he came from cartel side of the town. Of course I already knew that. He repeated his question. I didn’t respond but I asked him where he was from. He said that he was from the same where I was from. He asked me once again but this time he seemed serious. So I finally replied that I was also from Sinaloa. He got a grin on his face and told me to get on his truck. We walked up to it, he opened the door and reached into the truck and pulled out an AK-47 and handed it to me. I asked him what I would need it for. He told me to get on his truck or else he would have to use it on me.

   He drove me to the cartel side of town. He randomly told that the gun was now mine and that I was going to be his new worker. I said no way I wasn’t going to kill anybody. He told me that I didn’t have to. He didn’t want to put me in the drug business. He told me that he owned a store in town and that he wanted me to work there. He told me to use the gun for protection from other cartels. I was actually okay with that. I had a job with cartel that had nothing to with killing innocent people or dealing with drugs. Hopefully my new life won’t bring me any new serious problems.

Science Fiction/Spider Story

   I am going to write about a science fiction story. This story is going to be about giant spiders. One day Phil was in his house playing with his spider. He loved his spider he loved his spider so much that he named it. Its name was rocky. He named it rocky because it looked like a big round rock. Phil always left his spider in his room freely never in tank. He doesn’t like to treat his spider like an animal. His mom called him down for dinner. He left his spider on his bed and went down to eat. They had some pretty good enchiladas and beans. Phil had a little brother only about a year younger than him. But his brother was terrified of spiders so he never went around his room because he knew that it was always free.

   Phil went back upstairs to hang out with rocky. He went into his room and locked the door so he wouldn’t be disturbed by anybody. He called out rocky and the spider came out from under the bed. Rocky was a very intelligent spider. It was a tarantula. Phil lay down on his bed and the spider climbed up the side of the bed. Rocky got onto Phil’s arm and bit him. But the weird thing was that Phil didn’t mind. 5 minutes later Phil started to get dizzy and he passed out. He woke up 10 minutes later. He was startled and confused everything around him was big and large. He saw Rocky in front of him. Rocky was the same size as him. He moved towards him he felt eight legs moving. He had turned into a spider.

   Phil was amazed on what had happened he was also excited because know he knew what his spider felt like. Then all of the sudden Phil heard someone speak it was coming from Rocky. Rocky was talking to Phil now that he was also a spider they could now communicate. Rocky had a pretty deep voice for a spider. The first thing that Rocky told Phil was to turn him human. Phil told rocky that that was impossible. Rocky responded by saying that if it was possible for him to turn into a spider then it was possible for Rocky to turn into a human. Phil asked Rocky why he wanted to be human and if he didn’t like his spider life. Rocky said that he did like his spider life but that he would rather be human to spend more time with Phil as regular human. Phil didn’t know what to say so he just told Rocky to just spend some time as spiders. Rocky agreed with Phil.

   Phil and rocky went up to the attic to see if they could meet any new spider friends. Phil’s family hardly ever goes up there. There should be a lot little spider up there. It took them a while to get up there but they finally made it up there. It was pretty dark so they turn on their night vision senses. They could see a bunch of webs all over the place. Then all of the sudden they saw a bunch of little spider crawl towards them. Rocky was about to great them until a giant black widow came down and screamed that they weren’t welcome in their attic. Rocky asked why not. The giant spider said because they weren’t one of them and that he was a fake. Rocky was about to respond on what she had said. She interrupted him by telling them to leave or that she would kill them. Phil said that they were just looking for friends. The black widow just jumped at them and it bit Rocky. Phil tore off one of the widow’s legs off and rescued Rocky. They got out of the attic as fast as they could Phil carried Rocky back to his room. By the time Phil got there Rocky was already gone. Phil was sad and mad about what happened he felt guilty. Phil went back up to the attic to try to confront the widow. He was up there and he couldn’t see anybody then out of nowhere the landed in front of him. It pulled out its fangs and bit him on his back. Right when that happened, Phil woke up at the hospital and he looked at his arm and there it was the big swollen bit mark from Rocky. It was only a dream.

   These things are the important things in my life that I want to accomplish. My number one is the most important one for me. I have never met the other half of my family in Mexico. I have only seen them on pictures and only talked to them over the phone. I would like to meet them in person one day. It wouldn’t matter to me if I could only stay one day with. As long as I got the chance I would be okay. I do gave the option of going to Mexico and visiting them. But the problem is that I wouldn’t be able to come back to United States. Hopefully Obama will pass the immigration reform law. Not only would I be able to visit my family but I would a lot more opportunities here.

   Another one of my goals is to go to every one of my favorite sports team games. I am a big Boston fan so I would love to watch the Celtics, Red Sox, Patriots, and the Bruins. I always watch their games from home. But I always wonder what it would be like to sit with all those people and be cheering for the same team. That’s a place where everybody is connected everybody agrees with everybody. You could definitely make a bunch of new friends at any of those games. I would also like to see a Mexico game. Those games look pretty fun, especially when they score a goal. The crowd doesn’t go wild it goes insane. That is how prideful Mexicans are about their main sport.

   Another main goal that I have is live through 2012 I want to see what really happens. I want to see if all the drama and stuff was all bull, or if something really dramatic really happens. I have heard of a lot of predictions and even some prophecies. But what freaks me out is the scientific hypothesis and also the Mayan calendar. The scientific prediction says that the earth will go through a wobble. That means that the earth’s poles will shift. Nobody knows what will happen after the poles shift. They the poles will shift because the earth will pass through the center of the universe. They don’t know what will happen so we all just have wait and see what happens on December 21st 2012. The Mayan calendar freaks me out because it shows everything that we have been through in life. It is divided in sections and at the end of each section something dramatic has happened. But then the calendar just suddenly ends on December 21st 2012. It’s weird because every prophet and everything else in the world leads to that same date. All we can do is wait and hope that nothing happens.

Avatar/Change.org

   First of all I thought the movie Avatar was pretty cool. I had seen it once before I liked the action about. But when I came to school and my teacher told me about the movie and the comparisons that it had in real life. That surprised me I never had looked at it that way until he told me about it. The interesting thing to me is that this story was written way back in the day. It sends a very good and important message. I think that everybody should know about that message and look at the big picture on what’s happening in this world today. The message that movie sent is that all people care about is power and money that’s what the movie is basically about.

   Well I went on change.org to see what I could petition on. My teacher told me that I had to petition on something that had to do with the movie. So I looked for environmental stuff because the movie had a lot of environmental things in it. I found something on more clean energy jobs and pollution. The movie has a very clean setting. That’s because the people that live there take care of their land. Also it’s because the people don’t have any technology to pollute their planet. Then humans came along and brought all of their technology. The technology started messing the world up.

   The people lived in a very lager tree and there was a very expensive material under that tree. The humans wanted that because they could get rich off of it. The humans did not care if the people lived there. So the people destroyed the tree that was the people’s home. The people tried to stop the humans. But the advanced technology was too much for the people. The humans used guns and missiles to blow up the people’s home tree. All of that fire and smoke hurt the planet. That area wasn’t pure anymore.

   Another environmental part of the movie was when the humans running over all of the trees. Some of those trees were really special to the people. The people were trying to stop the big trucks but they could. The humans were to powerful. My teacher said that that is what represents what is happening in the rainforest. The United States is just chopping down all the trees in the rainforest like if it was okay. I agree with him it does represent what’s happening in the rainforest.

   The blowing up of the people’s home tree represents the oil spill in the gulf. The humans don’t care about the consequences in the movie and people don’t care in real life either. People don’t realize what they’re doing wrong until something bad happens. What upsets me is that the people that cause the problem don’t even attempt to fix it they just run away. Well for the people that do care I recommend that u go to Change.org you can sing petitions for free. Help Change the world and make it a better place for our children.

Scary Story: The Closet

   I was at home relaxing. It was summer and I was out of school. It was about one thirty in the morning. My parents were out of town with my little brother and sister so I was home alone. I enjoy being home alone because I have more freedom. Well I was bored out of my mind and I still wasn’t sleepy so I decided to play some Xbox. I heard from some of my friends that I should try playing resident evil in the middle of the night. This was the perfect time to try that. They say its pretty freaky. I played it for a while it wasn’t that bad I got startled a couple of times but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. So I tried something different. I sat in the middle of the living room and I tried playing again this time it felt really weird. I felt like something or someone was watching me. I kept on pausing the game to look around but I never saw anything. All that I saw was my dog sleeping on the couch. I got bored of the game so I put on a different one. I played it for a while and I started to get that weird feeling again. This time my dog woke up and it pointed its ears right up. Out of nowhere it just started barking. I was sort of frightened because I didn’t know what was going on. Then the dog stopped and just went back to sleep. I thought maybe it was just the Xbox so I stopped playing and started to watch some TV.

   I started getting sleepy. I closed my eyes then I heard a loud bang in the back of my house I stood up and looked back to see what it was. I couldn’t see anything so I went over there to take a closer look. My dog followed me I got to my parents room and my dog started barking towards their closet. I was freaking out I didn’t know what to do. I was scared to open it and see what was in there. But I had to it was bugging me all night and I had to see what it was. I started walking slowly towards the closet. The dog barked louder and louder as I got closer to it. I got to the door and I was reaching for the door knob and then it shook violently. I stepped back and it shook again. I didn’t want to reach for the door knob again because it would probably shake again. So I got a shoe and threw it at the door it stopped shaking. I grabbed the door knob and slowly started to open it. A burst of air hit my face it was really cold. But there was no one in there I turned on the light and looked around in there. All of the sudden the lights went out and the closet door shut on me. It was dark and cold in there the door got locked the weird thing was that the door had no lock on it. I was really scared. My dog was barking again then it whimpered and stopped barking. Then something touched my shoulder. I busted the door down and ran out of there I looked back there was a black figure and it just vanished and then my dog came out of there. How could that happen if I just heard it in the living room? I was confused and amazed on what had happened. I didn’t sleep until my parents came back. My parents gave me a bunch of crap because I broke the closet door. I told them what happened so they gave a lecture on not doing drugs. I never saw that thing again but I still get that weird feeling. I hope I get to see it again so I can tell it off for giving me a HORRIBLE night.

My Purpose in This World

   I am supposed to be writing about the gifts that I have but I don’t think that I have any gifts. The only gifts that I have been given are the gifts of life and being here in America. I am one of the lucky people that get to live here in the United States. I was brought here by my mother to have a better life. That’s a big gift the biggest gift in my life. I could never get the education that I am getting now in United States, Back in Mexico. Also I have more opportunities here in America. Those are the gifts that I have. But maybe another purpose that I have in this world is to succeed in America as a Mexican. I would really be proud of myself if I succeeded here in America. I say that because most Americans think that Mexicans are useless and we just cause trouble. But they are wrong not all of us are here just taking up space and cause trouble. Most of us are here to have a better life ourselves and most important, our families. Why would we go through so much trouble to cross the border and just cause trouble in America? That’s not right we go through all that trouble to have better lives and have a lot more opportunities. All of our parents need those opportunities to put the food on our table and a roof over our head.


   My purpose in this world is not only to be a successful Mexican in America but to also to be a Boston fan. Boston teams are the only teams that have caught my attention. That’s because they usually always win. Not only that but they a good spirit. Also I like their style of play. They are always tough and they don’t know how to give up. The best thing about them is that they always stand up for each other. I think that’s one of my unique purposes to be a good Boston fan. I hardly ever miss any of their games. My mom always gets upset with me because am always watching their games and that I never do anything else. I always tell her that those teams are always working their butts off to entertain us and the least that I can do is support them from home. She always tells me that I am nuts but I get away with it anyways. When I get older if a get an opportunity I plan on moving to Boston or somewhere near that area. I want to move over there so I can support all the Boston teams in person. That is one of my goals in life that I want to accomplish. If I don’t get to move to Boston then I least want to go to any kind of Boston game. Another one of my complicated goals is to meet any of the Boston team players in person and maybe even have a conversation with that person. Those are some of my purposes in this world.

I am poem

I am Mexican and loyal.
I wonder where I will be in 2 years.
I hear everything around me.
I see the city outside my window.
I want to finish school and get it overwith.
I am Mexican and loyal.

I pretend to be succesful.
I feel tierd.
I touch Obamas forehead.
I worry about the future.
I cry when my favorite sports teams loose.
I am Mexican and loyal..

I understand that they don't always win.
I say anything is possible.
I dream to be succesful.
I try not to think about my failure.
I hope to have a good life.
I am Mexican and loyal.

Sea Cucumber and the Evil OIL

I was lying way down in the sea floor peacefully living my sea cucumber life. I am a pretty chill cucumber but I am pretty lazy. Then I sensed something coming from the outside. It kept on coming closer and closer. Then a loud noise, the large object was going into the ground. I was confused I have a really small brain and it’s really hard for me to think I didn’t know what to do what is this thing doing to my home? Then all of the sudden I sensed this large shock wave. It was so strong that it sent me across the water. I was just floating there startled. Then I felt heavy. The water had changed it wasn’t fresh anymore. It was really dense it was hard for me to move. I started to panic I wasn’t used to being in this kind of situation. I tried to breath it was hard. The water tasted horrible. I knew that there was something in the water. I also knew that now there was a good chance of me dying. The water was fully contaminated I couldn’t breathe anymore. I was dying. I had a good sea cucumber life. Please help us don’t let all the other sea creatures suffer like I did. My sea cucumber spirit came up out of the water I was surprised this was happening. I looked down and I could see a bunch of smoke and fire I don’t know how I could see this I don’t even have eyes. But it was good to be able to see what was going on and too see how the humans were destroying all the sea life and even all the humanity. They should be ashamed of what they have done and fix the problem. They should have at least a little responsibility.
