Worst argument

My worst arguement was with my best friend. We fought over something little like all best friends do. We didn't talk for over a week. I realized that no little fight should ruin our friendship between us. We both explained we were sorry and resolved things.

Fake it till you make it

I am very confident when I present. I learned how to cope with being comfortable while presenting. I think of it as presenting to big group of friends, whether I know them or not. Presenting projects in classes helped me become more comfortable with being able to present in such big groups too. Although, I'm not confident with my posture and how I fidget with things. Like the video said, I just have to fake it till I don't fidget and have a better posture in presenting.

Where I'm From

I am from separated parents,
where my mom and I live in Berwyn.
my dad lived in Humboldt Park,
now lives in Ecuador

I am from Berwyn.
where I grew up with my family
grew up by my grandparents side
grew up with my mom always being with me
grew up with my aunts love and friendship

I am from two blue line stops,
Humboldt Park and Logan Square.
where the culture is strong
and everybody is family over there.
home I miss like crazy, everyday.

I am from Ecuador,
where it is 3,075 miles away from Chicago
where both sides of my family are from
I go every summer,
but it's another home I miss everyday ...

Thirteen Reasons Why

I read the book, "Thirteen Reasons Why." The book is about a girl who commits suicide for thirteen reasons. Each of the thirteen reasons is a person. Before she commits suicide she records herself talking to each person, telling them how they lead to her death. Each tape goes in order, all thirteen of them have a tape with a number on. The first person on the tape gets all the tapes in a box. The person has to then send all the tapes to the next one, then so on, if not all the tapes get released. Although, one person isn't suppose to be on the tapes. His name is Clay and he receives the tapes. The story goes by his point of view. Read more to find out what number clay is and why he's on the tapes.

New year, new me?

I want to start reading more this year. My goal is to read over 15 books this year. I want to develop a stronger vocabulary by reading. I want to mature even more over the year as well. I can do this by having a high mindset about succeeding in life. Last year, I was slacking, not doing my homework and procrastinating. This year, I want to change that by reading on my free time and making more time to do things outside.

Best gift I've ever received

The best gift I've ever received was a MacBook. It was the best gift I've ever received because I can do many things with a MacBook. My mom bought me the MacBook for Christmas. I opened the present at my house. She bought me it because she knew I wanted to expand my knowledge. I can research new things and determine to learn new things I didn't know. I can also expand my vocabulary. Also, expand my knowledge in subjects I have trouble with, websites can explain deeply.  I can develop to be more wise.

Best Day Ever

My best day ever was in the summer, July 7, 2016. I went to a Drake concert with my best friend before I would leave to Ecuador. Our seats were really close to the stage. A few performers performed before Drake and Future did. Then, Drake performed songs from his new album as well as other songs. Then Future performed by himself and with Drake. Drake and Future were great performers. As a surprise Kanye West performed last. Nobody knew he was coming, everybody was screaming. I was crying because Kanye is one of my favorite artist.

Favorite Quote

"Be the change that you wish to see in the world" by Mahatma Gandhi.
This is my favorite quote because it's showing that we can't just wait and hope the world is going to change. We have to change ourselves if we want to see a change. It will all fall into a domino effect. If somebody changes, the next person will, then other people will want to change. Then slowly, our world will change because you did. 

What is one thing you did that was kind/thoughtful this break?

I let my aunt live with me for a while when she was going through her times with her partner. She left her house and needed somewhere to stay. So, I told her she could stay with me however long she wanted to. I helped her out other ways as well. I gave her advice and company she needed. I helped her out by being by her side when she needed it.
