Experience.

The first day of class I was a little bit scare because my english waesn´t so good. The first week I learned about my weakness. I overcame ones of them. I still have faults in my writing. However I know that I am not the same. I learned A lot the new things in this process. I learned about hot person with disabilities have did amazing things. However That is not the only thing that happen to me. I met really nice persons that made my days easier. People that I going to take in my heart like the people that I met in my first class in USA. I hope that in the second part of this semester I will learn as much as this first part.

Raining.

When I was in El Salvador when it is raining the people stop their lives. Most all the people stay in home because they don´t want to get sick. That´s why when it was raining was a good thing to me. I used to stay in home watching tv and drinking hot chocolate. I remember that I used to love the rainy days. However the past few day waesn´t so fun for me. Here the lifestyle is really different. No matter what the life goes on. I have to go out in the middle of the rain. At first I hate it. However I think I start to enjoyed. Now I can have fun even when the city is draining away.

Alice in wonderland.

I went to see Alice in Wonderland the movie. I was really skeptical about it. I love the story. I saw the first movie sevral times. When I was a child I always dreamt with wonderland. I dreamt with the smiling cat and the talking flowers. However when I heard about a new version I waesn´t sure about it. All my doubts fly away when I read about the casting. I love Jonhy Depp. He is one of my favorites actors. The movie started and Alice waesn´t the same girl. She was a young woman. All the characters were there. The storie waesn´t the same. It was a new world. A new challenge but the storie was captivating. If someone ask me if is worthy go to see. I will answer without doubts "absolutely".

Prodigal son.

Yesterday I went to a lutheran church. It was a different experience. However it was really nice. We learned about the prodigal son. The priest told us how the love of the father was so huge even when his son did things that was wrong. My family and me when because my niece will going to sing. She sang a beautiful song. She was standing there will all his school friends. It was amazing. I enjoy watching my niece doing things like that.

Tree.

I was watching tv when someone knocks the door. It was my neighbor. He come to told me that our tree fell down. It was unbelievable. The tree fell because of the wind. The tree was over the fence. It was a huge mess. we didn´t heard nothing. I stop and think. The most amazing thing was that the tree didn´t fell over the house. My baby niece was sleeping in the room next to the tree. In this kind of moments I stop to think in how amazing is the love of God. I truly believe that he protects us.

Twilight

One of my hobbies is read. I enjoy read a great book. My mom is really happy about it. However he was not so happy when I was reading the books of the twilight saga. In my country those books waesn, that famous until the movie arrived. When I saw the movie I was really intriged. So I decided to buy the first book. When I started to read the story captivates me. I finish the book in two days. My mom was on shock. I think because she paid for my hobby that is a little bit expensive sometimes. So I convince her to buy me the second one. However the book was sold out. I have to wait for a month. So I convince my mom that was better buy the thirth one to. She did it. I finished the books in a week. She was upset becuase I spent almost my entire day reading. However it waesn´t hard convince to buy me the last one. I did it in 3 days. The books are amazing. I love it. My mom was so happy that I finally finish with my new addiction. What she didn´t expect was that I want it to read it one more time. And one more, and one more. I read the four books 5 times. 4 times in spanish and 1 in english. She has to hide it from me.

Fit in.

When I was a little girl, I read a book named Angelica. The book is about a pig. He was embarrassed about himself. He didn't fit in anywhere. When he was in the school all the kids made fun of him. He was really unhappy. He decided to change his appearance. However he still feel insecure. That book made me think. Maybe in some point of life we feel like him. We feel like we don't fit in. The issue is not that we don't fit in. The problem is the feeling. Every person is important. The problem of the pig was that he didn't believe in himself. In the end of the story he became in happy pig because he realize that the way to fit in is believe in yourself.

The power to conquer your fears is in your own mind.

"A walk to remember"

I was looking in my mind a topic to write and suddenly I got an idea. I going to write about a movie that break my hearth. "A walk to remember". The movie is about a young lady that met a guy. The kind of boy tthat you don´t want to introduce to your parents. He took a lot of bad decitions in his life. She was a spiritual girl. Full of faith and love for God. They stared a friendship. He fall in love with her. he change for her. They started to date. When you read this your are going to start to think: " is a borring movie", "always the same" and "I know the end: they live happily ever after". However you are completely wrong. she is sick. She has leukimia.
She is dying. He spend the next months making her dreams come true. She finnaly die. He use the suffering to do somethin good. he became and a doctor. They were together only for a little time. She change his life. That made me thing. I want to be like her, I want to do something for the people around me.

School days

In my country when your are in high school you can choose the speciality. I chose acoounting. For this speciality you have to study during 3 years. It was nice. almost all my friends chose the same speciality. The first year was amazing. I was learning something that I love, And I was doing it with my friends. What else I could ask. However we don´t live in a fairytale that why 3 months before the second year end, I have to make really hard decition. I change my speciality to a general high school. This kind of high school is only for 2 years. I graduated early. my friends were really upset with me. It was sad but and the same time was good. I met new friends. Now I know that because of that time, it was more easy for me be apart from them. I still miss them. However I am sure that it will more hard if I will spent one more year studing with them.

Daddy.

yesterday I was talking in thr phone with my father. He start to remember the time when I was in school. Before I knew I was doing the same. I started to thing how that time change my life. My parents divorce when I was a baby. I don´t remember how is have a family integrated for two parents. My family was integrated for one in a half parents. My mom was always in home but the only time that my dad and I spend together, was the time that he pick me up to take me to school and later take to home. In that time he teach math and he study with me. I felt really upset thinking about that time. I was almost crying but I remeber one more thing abuot the trips to school. The soundtrack. I started to laugh, He always was listen music of "Vicente Fernandez". I think that I know almost every song. I miss those days. I miss my dad and I even miss the music.

Kindness

I´m reading a book about a man who works performance as a santa. He wrote about the history of santa claus. It was interesting to me know that history.I always thougth that santa was a character that people used to make more money during the holidays but the true is a little bit different. Santa Claus was the nickname that people gave to a priest. He always take care of the people. He tried to cover the needs of that people who don´t have enough money. He always did it in secret but the people knew that was him who gave them money. All the people love him for his kindness. He was more than nice with everyone.

Now I know that santa claus in not a pagan figure. He is an example of kindness.

Grandma

Two years ago I expirience the most difficult time in my life. In march 2008, my grand was diagnosticate with cancer. I felt devastated, but I waesn´t the only one. All my family was extremely sad. I hear information about the disease, but at that time it waesn´t important for me. You heard all the time about cancer, but you only know the meaning when someone close to you has that. I watched in the television how people beat the disease and gave me hope. However hope is a subjective feeling. My hope fell apart when the doctor said that she was in terminal fase. I even remember his words " It´s nothing else to do". Never in my entire life felt that impotent. When you grow up you know that in some point of your life the people that you love is going to die. However I waesn´t prepared for that. I spend the next three months trying to make her feel as comfortable as I can. Sunday, june 22 of 2008 she said good bye to this life. Sometimes I forget that she past away. Sometines I just want to go to talk with her, and I realize that I can´t. Someone told me that the time is the best cure for the pain. It´s been almost two years now and it hurts like the first day.

Not that easy

When you are a child you believe that your live is going to had a happy ending. You believe in the tooth fairy and santa claus. You believe in all this things because you parents made you believe. I still remember the how happy I was the day after my first tooth fell. I move my pillow and there it was, the reward five coins. I was so exciting. I run to my mom screaming of joy. Our parents tried to make us believe that everything in life is happiness. However, they can´t do it for all our life.

They don´t teach us that sometines in life, you can´t be happy. There is not such a thing like happy endings. At least not for everyone. I met a lot of people in my life. However not all this people was a good people. I have friends, really closed friends that in some point, they take advantage of me. I waesn´t prepared for that. I trusted in every person. I was a really friendly person but that change me. It´s difficult to me trust in people.

My parents taught me that you have to love every single person in this world. They taught me that Gos wants that. The only thing that they forgot to tell me was that not all the people is a good person, and that some people can´t hurt you. I don´t blame them. I thing that is hard tell you baby girl that life sometimes is sad.

Now I know that my parents were trying to teach me, that you have to love everyone even when they hurt you.

Not so happy

Yesterday I was talking with my best friend. She is in El Salvador. We was talking about our first valentine´s day apart since we met. It was sad to me remember all the beautiful february´s 14 when we was together. I am sure that a lot of people is waiting really anxious this day. However I am not part of this people. I have a lot of friends in my country. Every year I wait for this holiday and I always celebrate with all my heart. This year is going to be different. My heart is broking in little pieces. My heart is in El Salvador with my friends.

the way

In life you always has to make desitions about certain things. The difficult part is choose between good or evil. When you are a child is easy. You only have to do whatever your parents says that is a good thing. However when you grow up everything is more complicated. You meet other way. A diferent way. You know that is not good, but you are curious abuot it. You want to know how is feel to go in that way. Them your friends tells you that is nice. You don´t know how, but you are in that way. You know taht was a mistake, but you don´t know the way to go back. You are stuck in there, and maybe you are going to saty there for a long time.

Now you know why you parents says that you have to choose well.

My sister

It´s difficult write about your life, at least for me. Look in your mind for a moment, memory or thought that you want to share with another people it´s hard. I´m seat in front of my computer trying to get an idea to write. But the only thing that comes to my mind is my family. I know that is a boring topic but is the easy one for me.

My sister is one of the greathest woman that I know. She has her on way of thinking. Most of the people doesn´t agree with her but that never bother her. She found a lot a wall in her road, but that doesn´t stop her. She conquer success. she is my role model. I Know that is going to be difficult, but I going to tried. Maybe never get to be like her, but I want to be at least the half of successful than her.

yesterday

This was a really busy week for me. I love when our family come to visit us. This week I have a lot of good moments. I spend my day with people that I love. I am happy for that. Yestrerday was my niece´s birthday. We made a party for her. Was really nice. But I´n really tired. It´s was too much work. The only thing that made feel better it´s that she was so happy when he saw her elmo´s birthday cake.

past

When I was a kid everything was easy. I remember that the only thing that was in my mind was play. I just to play with my dolls for hours. Everything was so easy. I can tell that was the happies time in my life. Now everything is change. It´s better be an adult but is difficult take the responsabilities. I know that is nice feel the freedom of have 21 year, but sometimes only sometimes, I wish be a girl again. And only have to worry about my dolls.

Books.

When I was little my sister told me that I have to read to learn new things. I follow her advice. The first book that I read was the most difficult challenge. It was a really tiny book, but to me it was the biggest book in the entire world. It was almost impossible but I did it. It was the most wonderful feeling. I felt like I was name queen of the books. Them finish a book make me feel accomplished. Now I try to read as much as I can, beacuse read a book is an accomplish.

The snow.

I remember the first time that I saw the snow. I felt like I was dreaming. In my country the only way to see the snow is look at a picture or wacth the television. It was amazing. Looked through the window and saw that perfect white color. I was so exciting. I put my jacket and my boots, and ran to the snow. I played with my nieces. We made a snowman.

I am so grateful with God for gave me the opportunity to come here, and see the snow.

A piece of me.

I born in San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador. El Salvador is a tiny country in Central America. I born in a thurday, october 6 of 1988, was the day when my mom brougth me to this world. My mother was so happy to have me in her arms for the first time. My dad always tell me how beautiful baby I was. I can´t tell if that is true, but I can tell that I was a really lucky baby. God gave me the most lovely family.

My mom is a great women. She always look for me. I don´t have any complains about her. I love her with all my heart. I learn from her to share my blessings with that people who needs. My father is not perfect, but he is great. He told me that I can make whatever I want, I only have to work for it.

My parents owns my heart. They are the most important thing in my life. My Dad is in El Salvador and I can´t explain how painful is not have it with me. I Call him frequently but that is not enougth. Every nigth before to go to sleep, I pray to God asking for health and happiness for him. My mom is with me rigth now, but this sunday is going back to our country. I going to miss her so much. I just hope that she is going to come back soon.
