#9 Alien Contact

It was Halloween in the year of 2012, Jessica, Denys, Karla had gone out to party, enjoy, and have fun. Since sophomore year it had been all 3 of them and Nayely but lately Nayely had been drifting away, and it had just been the three of them that night. Jessica was the type of girl who did not believe in aliens or ghost or anything in that category AT ALL! Karla was the complete opposite she believed that there were aliens, and she believed in spirits and ghost and anything supernatural or out of this world. Then there was Denys she was not much of a believer, but she didn’t just cast them of as nothing.


Earlier that Halloween they had helped out a couple of friends setting up their “Haunted” house. They were having fun and loved Halloween but mostly the candy. They had been invited later on that night to a party, luckily that party was in the same neighborhood as the haunted house. They had planned to get ready dress up go help out their friends and once they were done they would walk to the party. Everything was working out perfectly; the haunted house was done, even though they didn’t know why they would call it haunted if it wasn’t even scary, it was actually funny and they should have called it a fun house. They started walking towards the party they didn’t exactly know where it was at, but they sort of had an idea. They stared talking about the main thing people talk about on Halloween, Ghost. But the thing was that they could talk about this for hours and never get bored or run out on what to say. They all had complete different ideas and opinions on this that all they would do was debate and argue. They had been so caught up on their conversation that they had no idea of where they were at, but what was so strange about it was that the street they had ended up on was completely lonely. There were no light on, no kids walking around, there was just nothing. All of a sudden they came to a complete stop, right ahead of them there was a small kid he looked like he could be 5 or 6 years old, and this kid was just standing there in the middle of the street staring at them. Karla was scared half to death, while Jessica was thinking this poor kid might be lost, and Denys had no idea what to make of this.

Then this kid started to walk towards them, what we do is what was running through all of their heads now, but the most unbelievable thing happen. While it had been walking towards them it started to change form. It had begun to slowly get tall, and while that was going on “its” hair stared to grow and turn a blond color. Then standing in front of them was this very beautiful woman, and it was just so incredible and SCARY!!!!! They were now frozen in their position they couldn't move or speak. Then this "thing" starts to speak to them but in the beginning it was a weird language that they did not understand. Then slowly it started to speak their language “Hello there humans?” It started to say. They all wanted to scream and run at least be able to talk but they could not it was as if this “thing had frozen them. Yet again it spoke, “I came to your planet to observe it, and so that my planet and our life there can learn more from what I am seeing. I have not been able to see much it seems that most of your people look strangely different.” “I come from a different planet in peace, and in the hope of learning more. You earthling would be of great help to me.” Then finally they were all “unfrozen” but they were shocked and scared so of course Karla was the first to speak” OMG!! This is so freaky what planet do you come from? What’s your name? How did you arrive here?” she was speaking so fast and loud, and then she was again frozen. “Earthling my name does not matter and my planet you have never heard of and it also has the technologies to send us anywhere throughout the universe. Now I would like to know if you

are willing to help me. I will do no harm to you or anybody else that is if you do not speak of this.” “Yes!! Absolutely and completely yes!!!!!! We will help you in anything you need.”

Assignment # 12 The Black Cat

The Black Cat- 1843

This story was written a long time ago it is in writing that we don't really see any more. Throughout this whole story there is a deeper meaning or emotion. In the beginning this man is happy and tells of his nice and loving disposition his wife how he loved her and of his love for animals. This might mean in general I guess the way everybody feels in the beginning of one’s life our emotions and how we all thin our life is going. That this man was very fond of animals, and would never hurt them they were almost like his life. But in this story this man’s becomes a great drunk who ends up losing all feeling toward other things and persons, and in just ends up hurting the things he loved the most in his life his animals and his wife. But maybe this is what this story is trying to tell us, that if we are not careful we end up hurting what we love or appreciate the most in our lives. And maybe even though we or they do not mean to, they do and in the end it just too much to think you can make it all better, and go back to the life we once had. And maybe this is what the black cat is actually trying to symbolize, at least for me. That making one simple mistake and it can ruin your life and in this book this man’s mistake was drinking it was his downfall. And maybe in our lives it does not exactly have to be drinking, but drugs or a hobby we come obsessed with. That you make a huge mistake and in the end it’s just too much to be ignored or even forgiven. Many people lose their homes, jobs, families, and in worst cases like in this book this man lost his life for his stupid mistake. That if maybe people see their mistakes or are able to fix them in time their fate won’t end up bad.

This black cat was this man’s whole life; he loved this cat with all his heart. And in the end this man kills this cat and tries to find a replacement, very bad decision. This is probably what most people try to do make up for a loss they have or try and make them self-feel better with something else. But that’s just not the way it works. This man tried to kill the second black cat he had gotten, and when his wife tried to stop him he ended up killing her in one of his moments of savage. I guess many people actually do that they end up taking out their anger with someone else, and when they finally do they do not stop until it is all out of their system. This man thought he could get away with the murder of his wife, and live a happy life as if nothing had happened. But in the end he got caught and had to pay for what he had done. And, again a lot of us try to do that, to just turn around and act as if nothing happened and it may go ok for a while. But in the end it always comes back up and what goes around comes around. But it always comes back tougher and even harder or uglier than what we had actually done.

Assignment #11 The Concrete Rose

Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared






The first line says "Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete." I would say that this is trying to actually say something beautiful can happen even when most people believe it impossible. That something happened or was made almost from something impossible, as if it were a miracle. I really like this line because it’s just so inspirational when you read it and actually pay attention to the words, it made me feel like I can accomplish anything, that anybody can accomplish anything when nobody expects it or believes it.

The second line says "Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet." This line deeper meaning for me would be that whatever miracle or wonderful thing that happened, that was able to prove everybody else thoughts or feelings wrong. I really don't understand the” it learned to walk without having feet” part I try to think hard about it and what it is trying to symbolize but i just do not get it. Maybe that it learned to grow to get beautiful without having roots or actually having anything to start or grow with.

The third line says “Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air." This actually means a lot. The meaning I get that it is trying to say is that even though nobody believed, it believed in its self and that was the only important thing. That with people or even myself, that believing in one’s self is what can actually keep us going, that we can learn to use what we have and our thoughts to grow. That it doesn't matter others people thoughts we only need to believe in our self's.

The fourth line say's "Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared" this lines means to me that long live the person that grew from their thought, dreams, believes even when nobody cared or believed that they could grow and become something or someone . That maybe they should be proud of they did became or accoThat maybe they should be proud of they did became or accomplished. I can use this because I believe in myself, and in what I can accomplish and that I can prove people wrong and make them see and believe.


I guess in general this poems words and meanings are inspirational to others and to me. It inspires me to do better and many other people who read this poem and take time to understand its meanings. This makes me want to be that one rose that grew from the concrete, that one rose that made people rethink and believe in what they though was impossible.

#8 "The Necklace"

I would have to say that the Moral of this story is to be happy with our life's to enjoy what we have because if we dot we will never live a happy life, because then we will always want more, and sometimes we get more than we can actually handle. I would also have to say that it is also about being truth full because sometimes telling the truth maybe the only way out.



In this story The Necklace a women was born into a poor family, but she always believed herself better she always wanted more. But more is what she got, she went through 10 though years because she did not tell the truth and because of her selfish needs. I know that I am sometimes like that, wanting more wanting better, but then again who doesn’t. I guess the point would be how far to draw the line. I am happy with my life and what I have and who I have but in this story she was neither happy with her life or who she married. I am happy and enjoy my life because if I don’t I know nobody else will and my life will be miserable. I also try to always tell the truth even though I know I will lie every once in a while. In this story this women borrows a necklace from a close friend to go to a party she was invited to. When it was time for her and her husband to head home she lost this necklace. She was so scared and ashamed she didn’t tell her friend the truth. This couple put a lot on the line they had many debts and lived a hard life. They had bought a necklace that looked exactly the same but was actually A LOT more expensive than the one they had actually borrowed. I admit (shamefully) that I once lied to my doctors. I had told them that I had taken my medication correctly when I hadn’t, and because of this my labs were all wacked out and I was getting sick. They went through a lot of trouble to try and figure out what was wrong with me. They increased a medication and boy was I so sorry for not having told the truth. If I had maybe all I went through could have been avoided. Just like in this story one lie and my life was hell for a while. From this I try to not lie I learned my lesson and when I read this story it reminded me of myself.

Once A Witch( Book Report)

I just finished reading a book called "Once a Witch." I really liked this book beacause it is about a girl who feels left out, strange around her family. But this girl fianlly realizes who she is and is happy with herself. I guess many people can realte to this because many feel left out or awkward around others, like they dont fit in. Its not until later in life that they find there way or what they were ment to do or acomplish. In this book a 17 year old girl named Tamsin Greene. She is born into a family of witches, they are all born with a special talent and when they turn 8 yrs old their talents are known. In Tamsins case her talent is never revealed. Tamsin feels left out like she doesnt belong with her family, she always feels like an out cast. But later she realizes what her talent is and she is one of the most powerfull. BUT the only way she discovers them is when her sisters life is in jeporday, and later realizes that she was never an outcast and that she will always belong 

Shadow Mirror( Book Report)

Shadow Mirror is written by Richie Cusick, and it's about a girl named Miranda who has a gift that was passed down to her by her grandfather. This gift is her being able to contact spirits  and be able to help them out. This books really about a girl feeling lonley, and like she doesnt belong in her town or friends. She feels like the gift that was passed down to her was a mistake, that she is not strong or smart enough to handle this especially alone. I guess that maybe once in everybodys life time do they ever feel like that, their moments of doubt like they dont belong or something they do or are given is just a mistake. I once actually felt like I didnt belong with my friends, like our friendships were just a big fake.But in this book she realizes that she was never alone and that they were trully her friends. In this girls most desperate time of need her friends styaed by her side the whole time they helped her through her problems. That what happened with me in my time of need and when i thought I was alone my friends were always there with me. But probably mant people go through this and the only way they realize that there not alone and have true friends is when they go through something tuff and their friends are still there.

#7 My Self-Value

This quote was written by Jennifer James. This quote is really interesting because it really gets me thinking of what makes me jealous and how I think of myself and how other people show and act on their jealousy. This quote is really just showing or explaining how there is no reason to be jealous that if we love ourselves enough we won’t want what other people have, or be like anybody else. That if everybody just had enough self value there would be no need for jealousy at all. It is telling us to stop looking at other people, and like the quote says to stop “scanning” them, it is saying to look at yourself and to “scan” yourself to find the good in you and love it and not care what other people think. That there is a little seed inside ourselves that grows into this jealousy, that just grows and grows and the only way for it to stop is for us to love ourselves, once we can learn to love ourselves we can love other people. Once we can learn on how to turn jealousy in to self value we will be happy with ourselves and that we can help other people with their jealousy and show them to turn all that into self value.


This quote makes me think of what I envy and who I am jealous of, it makes me think of how often I look at other people and want what they have or be like them. Now I understand that it should not be like that that I have to love myself for other people to love me. Jealousy is never the answer to anything and in order for us to grow we have to learn to let go of all that jealousy. Only then will other people envy you and you remember that pain ,thats when you lend a hand to others to show them what you have learned.

Sunset Haiku

As you are walking down the beach, you notice the beautiful sunset.


Nothing could beat this until the dolphins start jumping through the ocean.

You get lost in this beautiful scene, wondering “Could this get better?”

"Show and Tell"

When I was younger I loved "show and tell “when I was in elementary I couldn’t wait for Friday to come so I could bring my object to class. I would always get excited and bring the newest thing I could to show it off actually it really didn’t have much meaning to me.

Now I’m suppose to blog about it instead of showing it, it’s a little harder but now I can truly talk about it and make people see it through my perspective.

I have a necklace that my family bought and gave to me when I was 12 years old. I was going through a really hard time; actually we were going through some things as a family. I was sick in the hospital for two weeks it was really rough my family bought me a necklace locket in a heart shape with a little diamond in the middle. My family said that they wanted me to keep them close to my heart so they gave me that so I would, and they told me that we were going to get through that situation no matter what.

My family was really supportive and they held my hand through it all. I love that necklace, but I mostly love what it signifies the truth behind it that I have a family that loves me. That is my most valuable prize, the object I would bring every week and show off because it is the most meaningful thing to me.

My Sophomore Year

There is just so much that happened my sophomore year, so much that I learned so much that happened. Like friends are not forever they will stay with you for a while and then everybody goes their own way. I also learned to value life because you never know when your time has run out, or to value your family your friends because you really don’t know what you have until it is not there anymore. My sophomore year I learned that I had a voice that I could help make a difference. This year I learned to value my life I had one of the toughest experience and it really helped me open my eyes.

I got really lucky with the teacher that I had this year they were just so helpful and nice, really understanding. I learned that the teachers are here to actual help us not make our lives hell. I know that the teachers just want the best for us they want to help us succeed; make a better future for ourselves. This year I got my priorities straight I learned what I wanted and what I needed I learned who I could trust and talk to, and I was able to tell who was not a real friend.

I learned that in order for me to be able to do what I want in life I have to start making it happen now. That I cannot just wait around waiting for a miracle to happen I have to make my wishes come true and that is something I will accomplish. I want the best for me in life I don’t want to struggle like my family, like my cousins even though I love them to death they made some really stupid decisions. My cousin never finished high school and now she is struggling working in a restaurant where they treat her bad. Now not only does she have to put up with that job but she is a single mother and I know I don’t ever want that for me I want something better.

Not only have I changed, but I have grown as a human being. There is just so much that happened to me and my family, that these things are so hard so terrible that you just have to be strong and move on, I learned to live my life happily every day and even though I am very grumpy I try my hardest to not let other people affect me because I have learned that they do not matter. If I let other people affect my life and stay mad for ever that is just harming me. There are some people that believe that I cannot accomplish my dreams that I have to lower my standards a little but I will not, because I know that I can be anything or anybody I want to be.

I know where my family comes from, where I come from and I certainly know that is one place I don’t want to go back to. I learned that in order to accomplish this and make me a brighter future, I have to start now, it all beings in school. I know where I am headed and I know what I will make of myself I will make my parents proud of me, but most importantly I will make me happy!!!

MY DREAMS

I have always wanted a bright future for me, I always imagined the best for me but not just for my selfish needs but because I always imagined myself helping others. I have always thought like that, and I always said that in order for me to do this I needed to do good in school and I always have, except this year. This year was tough for me for some personal issues but I managed to do the best I could this year. For next 2 years it will be nothing but hard work, and commitment. I hope to graduate from college (si dios me da permiso). But after high school I want to take a year off and just relax, but after that I want to apply to a great college, I’m not sure what I want to do though I want to explore the world go to an out of state college but at the same time I really would not want to leave my family it just saddens me to think about that.

I know what I want to study; I want to work with the government and the worlds economics that just always draws my attention immediately I just find it so interesting. I want to work somewhere that I can help the world and actually help make a difference for these countries and people that have nothing. Once I have a great job I want to make a family to be married have children I want 3 or 4 kids but I have always said I want o adopt a kid to help make a difference in a child life. But what is truly most important to me is to help my parents, and take care of them like they have cared for me and family. My parents are the ones who give me hope, it’s because of them that I want to do so much better and never quit no matter the obstacles. My mom loves to cook so I want to be able to make her, her won kitchen make a huge one with everything she could possibly think of, and my dad he has always wanted one of those really old cars he is in love with them so I have promised myself that I would one day make his dream come true, I want to be able to give my parents everything. I have big dreams and hope to become the best, and I am just really glad that my parents always support me no matter what. I plan to achieve these goals no matter how long it takes once I have my mind set on something there is nothing in this world that can hold me back, so watch out world because Cindy Ibarra is coming your way!!!!!

Wisdom quote

“Your smile is somebody else’s light, never let it die down.”

This is what I would say; because you really don’t know how much your smile you laughter can make somebody else fill so much better. You are never supposed to let somebody get to you and shut down that smile. It is what keeps many people going and yourself. Smiling is the only true medicine there is in this world. There are so many things you could accomplish but all you have to do is be happy about it and believe and keep that big smile on your face, it’s your only true companion what will truly keep you going through out your whole life.

If I Could be Anybody for A Day

Many people wish to have different lives, and don’t realize what they have until it’s too late.


If I could be anybody for a day I would be a Princess. I have always loved princesses how they first have a good life then they go through obstacles but at the end have their happily ever after. But in mostly Princess Jasmine she had everything anybody could possibly think of she lived in a beautiful castle had plenty of money; I guess the only thing she didn’t have was true love. But in the end she found that love. She had a wonderful life she married who she loved, she had a big heart she was many things. Her boyfriend was the nicest guy ever he had his own flying carpet, his Genie. The most wonderful part was that they would go through the beautiful night in Aladdin’s carpet and that was just so magical it makes you want to never leave that place. I would always imagine myself flying through there in love and having my happily ever after.

Betrayal

Betrayal is something nobody wants but most people do, it something really painful, and hard to get over.

There were once these two girls Maude and Ana more like two best friends they were inseparable. These girls had known each other since they were 3 years old. They meet each other when Ana and her family had moved into the San Jose neighborhood. Maude and her family had already been living there for years now. When Ana moved in Maude’s parents were grateful that there was finally another little girl for her daughter to play with. These girls became friends, and then they got closer and closer until they were like sisters.


Maude and Ana went to school together, to the same elementary, middle and now high school. Whenever ones family went on a trip they would always take the other girl. Maude was very pretty with blue big round eyes, and long blond hair with light faired skin color, but mostly cared about looks and boys and what other people thought about her. Ana, she was also pretty with hazel eyes, a tanned skin color, tall and skinny but she cared more about school, grades, doing good in every possible way. People were always wondering that how is it that these girls were such opposite and yet the best of friends. But these girls knew there was something there that just could not be separated.

When Maude and Ana got to high school they had made promises of what they would become or do in high school Ana had promised she would pass all her classes with B’s or A’s and that she would join school clubs, volunteer were ever she could and get a scholarship. Maude on the other hand said that she would become popular, be a cheerleader, the prettiest girl in school and the one all guys wanted, that all girls were jealous of her.


So finally the day was here the day that they would walk in their High School and fulfill their promises. It was just that later they would find out that it would never be that easy and that they would lose a great friendship. Maude and Ana were walking together to get their schedules when they bumped into these older girls very pretty very out there and Maude thought this would be her chance to be “one of them.” So they started talking to these girls and being friendly making conversation. Later that day they would hang out with these girls at lunch but these girls were making plans to leave school for the rest of the day. Maude was all for it but Ana said she wouldn’t go that it was the first day of school why would they leave? These girls had seemed bugged at her and Maude was begging her to go but she said no. Maude and her friends left, but Maude stayed behind she was a little disappointed she knew Ana wanted to become popular but she didn’t think she would come this far. The school day had ended and Maude was at her house when Ana text her saying that it was awesome the best first day of school and that she would probably ditch school the next day but with a bigger crowd. But that she needed Maude’s help to cover for her Maude couldn’t say no to her best friend so in the end she said yes.


This continued for a couple of more days until Maude got tired of it and finally told Ana that she wouldn’t help her any longer that what she was doing was wrong, that it was affecting her school. Ana got bugged those girls were getting to her saying that Maude wasn’t cool enough to hang out with them and she had actually started to believe those things were true. One day Ana went up to Maude and told her that the only reason she was still friends with her was because she felt bad for her that she was a loser and the only reason Maude told her she wouldn’t help her any longer was because she was jealous of her. After that they never talked again, Ana would tease Maude make fun of her for being a nerd and finally started to spread rumors about her. Maude was just so lost it was just a few weeks ago that they had promised to be friends forever and that they wouldn’t let high school tear them apart, she felt so betrayed as if everything between them was just a big lie. Maude just continued her life and finally had given up on getting her best friend.

"A New Beginning"

      If I was hired to write a new episode for the Twilight Saga I would write based on the book “New Moon” I would call it “A New Beginning.” Bella is hurt because of Edward leaving her, it’s been a long time but he does not come back. Bella becomes great friends with Jacob like they have always been, but they get even closer. It has been at least a couple of years Jacob really loves Bella and she likes Jacob but she knows that it is not the same as with Edward. After at least a couple of years Bella finally decides that she cannot hold on to the past for ever so she decides that it may be a good idea to give Jacob a chance. So they go out for a really long time, Bella still has not forgotten Edward but she is really happy with Jacob.


      Jacob is in love with Bella so he is going to ask her to marry him in the next couple of weeks he is planning it out to buy her prettiest ring there is, where he will take her, what they will do. It was all going perfect that is until Edward comes back. Jacob and Bella still do not know that he is back. So while Jacob and Bella are out on their sweet romantic date Edward is looking for her, to tell her that he came back for her. Since Edward is able to read minds he reads Jacobs and finds out what he is up to, and asks Bella to please not marry him that he is sorry but that he has come back for her. Bella really like both of the guys and she is not sure what to do. This is exactly how my book would go but then how to end the book is really hard so I would just make her stay with Edward because it is who she really and truly loves.

My "Courage"

     Courage is something really hard to have, especially in front of your parents. Some people might need courage to go onstage in front of people, or maybe even just to get on a state fair ride. But I did not need courage for any of that I needed courage to get through a hard time in life so that my parents would not be sad.

     When I was 12 I lived in Dallas, I was really healthy and loved my life, and I still do. One night I had got really sick, high fever, bleeding, weakness. But the next day it was worse so my mom took me to the hospital they had told me that I was dying that I hold very low count of red blood cells. I was in the Hospital for two weeks. They had put some tubes inside of me because I needed to get plasma exchange.

     That was one of the hardest moments of my life and it was so hard for me, but it was also very hard for my parents to see their daughter in the hospital. The doctors said it TTP Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura- this is a blood disorder that causes blood vessels to form in small blood vessels. I was in and out of the doctor’s officer more than one year.

      It was very difficult for me and I had to have alot of courage to be able to get through this. Not only for me but because I didn't want my parents to see that I was sad and scared, I had to be strong and this has really helped me alot now this was a life changing day for me. 

My Childrens Children

            I am always wondering and asking myself questions on how my life will be later in life like if my family will still be together as one big family, or will I get married, or if I will get to live to see my children’s children? I think this something everybody asks themselves, something we all wish to know.

            I have always dreamt that when I have my children that they will have wonderful stories to tell their children and that their children will be able to tell it to their children and so on and so on. Like my parents are always telling me stories about when they were children and what their parents had to do to be able to maintain them. That life for them was really hard when they were children how they weren’t able to continue their education because they had to work and help their parents out.

           I know that my life right now is not like that, that our life’s are so much easier right now and that we don’t have to struggle like my parents did or grandparents did. But I would like my great, great, grandchildren to hear stories about us now.

           Stories like that we went to school and graduated and became great, that we were well known. Also stories on how my cousin got pregnant at 18 and had to raise her child alone but that she went to school and graduated so she could get a well paying job to be able to maintain her kid to give him a better life. All I want is for them to be proud of us one day, and to know that we struggled but always tried our best to have a better life.

My Time Traveling

           If I was able to invent a time machine I would do to the future. Not just to see how it would be, or if we would live past 2012, but so I could do something great for this world. So I could save many people’s lives, and make many others greater or at least better.

           I would go in the future and bring back a cure for Lupus, but because this can be a very hard thing for people to deal with, I should know. Back then many people didn’t even know what Lupus was and to this day still not many people know. Lupus back then us to be considered a mental disease and many people would be treated so badly because of this. Many people suffered and died but it was a slowly painful death.

           I would not only do this to help others but also to help myself. When someone is diagnosed with Lupus the main medication that is given is Prednisone and because o this one medicine many other things are affected. You can have lung problems or heart problemsproblems high pressure. So for all of these things you have to take more medicine.

          After being able to take the cure for Lupus to the present I would take it to the past, to help all of those people. This would be the greatest thing on earth for me!!!

"Wisdom Teaching"

              Sometime the stuff you do may not make a difference to the world, and people may tell you that, but as long as you know that you made a diffrence to someone some where it really should not matter what other people think. It may be the smallest thing like giving to a homless but at least you know you have made a diffrence to that person.

              I once gave money to homless and my cousin had told me what for that it was just a waste of my money. Just then had i realised that it wasnt a waste of my money because he now had money to buy a decent meal. After that I have been thinking that maybe I could go and do more like help at a homless shelter, all I have to do is take one step at a time. I just read on this website that they are wanting to make some sort of law in Miami that if they find you giving to a homless they arw going to give you a fine of 300$.  

          

Immigration

         I know about immigration, how the famalies strugle, what they go through, my parents struggle with this. How they come here to the U.S for a better opportunity in life, but live in fear of being caught and getting deported. Many immigrants or as some other people call them" Illegal alliens" just come here for a job to help their loved ones, to give their children a better life than what they had. In Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio is a mean and racist, he is to busy hunting down immigrants to do HIS job and find criminals. Right now President Obama hasnt really done much to get started with the immigartion reform, I had just read that on March 21st there will be a March for America wherer tens of thousands of supporters are expected to tell the president and members of Congress to get moving. There is so much someone can do and take action in these things, I signed my name on a petition to tell the senators to get started in the reform.  

"The Great Bebators"

"An unjust law in no law at all." This quote is a great reflection of this movie because there was no law through out this whole movie. I liked the way Denzel Washington acted in this movie, he was great it really made you believe that he had gone through all of this. This movie really fullfiled my expectations beacuse it showed you what they went through what they had to fight through. I really recommend this movie its great and it really thouches you!

Not like the brazen giant of greek fame, with conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed sunset gates shall stand a mighty women with a torch, whose flame is the inmprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon hand glows world wide welcome; her mild eyes comand the air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, the ancient lands, you storied pomp!" cries she with silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath free, The wrecthed refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homless, tempest-tossed to me I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" -Emma Lazarus 1883

I really liked this poem its is welcoming any people saying it does not matter who you are beside me you will have a life of gold? I understand that back when this poem was made immigration wasnt a problem beacuse this was actually trying to say that she is a helping hand, to not be afraid

Haitis Children

It is so sad with what is happening in Haiti and the Death of all these children. Before many children were being helped and taken out of Haiti for more help. But the problem was that many people were being arrested for taking children out of the country without the paperwork. So know many people aren't helping and many more children are dying, waiting for the right equipment to come and help them. " Everything has slowed down, and most pilots are backing out of the medical missions with kids" says an Atlanta Pilot. 3 month old Landina needs serious medical attention a british surgeon says that Landina could die within a week if she is not airlifted out for care. But the Haitian authorites wont let that happen if they dont have parents permission, but they have not been located. It is sad and these children need help.!!!

The ladder to sun light

i can just imagine someone or something trying to get out of this big dark scary place. Where there lonely, there is nothing except a small crack and big whole on the wall, nothing to do but sit on dirt . Then all of a sudden from out of the blue there is a ladder an escape from this horrible room!!! Now they will be able to see sunlight enjoy the fresh summer air. A place were there is no more darkness, or loneliness, all except life!

The morning sun!

I love the morning sun, it gives me energy, through out the whole day!
