My Soundtrack

1) Stand By Me, by Prince Royce - This song is important to me because when I was little and my aunt had parties I always danced to bachata with my cousin but when I hear this song it always reminds me of those memories. Song
2) Safari, By J. Balvin - This song makes me happy because when I listen to it it reminds me of my best friend Nat, she introduced me to the song our second week of school and when I hear it I think of her. Song
3) Stay, by Alessia Cara - This song is important to me because it makes me feel sad but happy at the same time because I know even though my best friends can't always be with me, I know they will always be there for me. Song
4) Beautiful girls, by Sean Kingston - I love this song because they he sings it makes me feel like there is someone who doesn't care what women look like, who doesn't care if they're big or skinny, so this song makes me feel beautiful about myself. Song
5) Shape of you, by Ed Sheeran- I love this song because it reminds me of all the times my dad suggested I go to the gym with him, I would go running or walking or even on the stairs and that song would come on. Song

DANNY!!!

If there is one person I would love to be with every minute of everyday, it would be my cousin Daniel, or as I like to call him Danny. He is one of my favorite cousins because he's funny, caring, energetic, but sometimes lazy. He is like the boy version of me. He is a hard worker but also loves a good party. He is the only cousin I dance with when I go to Mexico because my other cousins don't dance right they move to much,  it Danny and me dance stiff. He never leaves me out of anything, only if he's with his guy friends. He is protective over me like most of my cousins but he's always by my side to cheer me up or help me when I get sick in Mexico. I wish he could come to the U.S because I really do miss him a lot. If you compare me and Danny, we both prefer to work than sit around, we both have dark brown hair, and we both have a chill but energetic personality.


My favorite place

My most favorite place in the world is Mexico. Specifically Santiago Papasquiaro, Durango. It's my all time favorite place because it's were my dads side of the family lives. I visit almost every year to visit but it only for two weeks. I always enjoy the fair they have every year, as well as going to the swimming pools and the river. I always loved Mexico because it's a part of my culture I don't get to see everyday. Of course, I can always search for the music I want to listen to but it's not the same as having an actual band come and preform for you. I get to ride horses, and everyone is family there, you could be living there for the first time and everyone will go find out who you are. I also loved it there because it's been a place I have loved since I was a kid, the fresh air, and the quite nights where I can look up and see the stars. I don't get to see my family in Mexico often so I like to make every minute last. When I go on the plane to Mexico I like to scribble  in a not book and draw different things.

Sweet Venom

I have been reading the book Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs. This book is a non-fiction book, the book takes place in San Francisco, three girls named Gretchen, Grace, and Greer, who were all adopted, thought they were abandoned by their parents. These three girls are triplets but they don't know that until one day they all finally reconnect. Gretchen ran away from her adopted parents when she was little and a few weeks later this strange lady found her and told her who she really was. When the they all reconnect they have to work together to fight monsters that come to the surface from hades. Oh, did I forget to tell you, these three girls are the descendants of Medusa.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes mythological creatures. This was actually a book I didn't think I would like but it was actually pretty interesting. You just have to really pay attention to who is speaking in each character because it goes back and forth between them.i would rate this book a 7-10 because I did get confused in some parts but it was a really phenomenal book.




She's My Mom, Not My Sister

Is it me or has anyone else been asked if their mother is their sister? Ever since I was little people would always tell my mom if we were sisters. I being the child I was, just pouted and looked away. As I grew up I still hated being called my moms sister because I didn't see what people saw, I had my dads eyes, eyebrows,nose, mouth, even the same birth marks as him in the same places as him, so, what did people see that made me look like my mom? I found out that I have my moms round face and me being a girl with the same hair as her I started to see it when I started going into my preteens. I always found it mortifying that I looked like my mom, I never knew why but as I grew up I started to appreciate it because she is a beautiful woman that created me.

My Tears Fall

Animal cruelty and Child abuse is the most important topics to me because like people, animals feel and have emotions, they shouldn't be treated badly because all they want is love. Child abuse is important to me as well because children don't deserve to be treated badly, like animals shouldn't be treated bad too. Some kids don't even know why they get abused and fear their abusers but are too scared to say anything. What breaks my heart the most is that people with a voice decide to stay silent when other things such as animals don't have a voice to fight with. Child abuse also makes me sad because while the children are still developing, they are being exposed to that violence and have a higher chance of being abusers too.

I Am Powerful, but I am also Powerless

I feel powerful when I am given a huge responsibility, that makes me feel powerful because it makes me feel like I have power over people as well as being able to know how much power I can handle. Many people who have power think that it's easy to have it but you can lose it just as fast as you got it if you abuse it. One example of when I feel powerful is when I am given the responsibility to look after my god brother and sister. I feel powerful because I have control over them but what makes me feel even more power is that my god mother trusts in me to give me the responsibility in the first place.



I am not always powerful though. I do feel powerless at times as well. One time when I was younger, about 10, I was told I couldn't do somethings, whether it was join my brothers at the park or not being able to cook by myself. I felt powerless because when I cook I have to wait and rely on someone to help me when I already know what to do. I feel powerless not being able to join my brother because since I am the youngest child it makes me feel left out and I also have no one to be with. I also feel powerless when I am not acknowledged and people don't listen to what I have to say because they think I don't understand and that makes me feel lonely.
