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.
