Assignment #7

What makes me Unique!

When I look at others I see what they have that I don’t. Sometimes I look at what I have and what they don’t. I think what if I had that, but I’m unique in my very own way. I may think someone is smarter than me because they pass all their math tests but as long as I know what I’m good at and what I am capable of. I’m good at reading and writing. Not everyone has that talent. I’m good at coloring. I’m loyal and hate to lie, Most of the time I’m an honest open minded person. I like to speak for myself. I am straight up and I say it how it is and a lot of people dislike that about me. I treat others the way that they treat me. If somebody gives me an attitude I give one back. If someone is nice to me I’m the same with them. I believe that if someone treats you like you’re nobody than you have the right to treat them the same way back. I have a lot of friends but only keep few of them close. I know that people who hate me for no reason are jealous. They may want something that I have and they don’t. People who talk crap about me that is not true are simply haters. I think that if they have nothing better to do with their life other then hate on me and talk crap about me then they are jealous of what I got.


I believe nobody is perfect. Everybody has slips and falls. My life isn’t perfect but I am thankful for what I have. I’m mostly thankful for my mom who supports me for everything. People come and go in your life but my mom is someone who will always be there for me. I also think that everywhere you go your going to have somebody who doesn’t like you and is jealous of you. I think that you have to learn how to cope with it. My way of coping with it is to think exactly what they are HATERS and that’s it!

I don’t want to be labeled so I don’t label anybody else. I’m me and nobody else. I dress the way I want to dress and wear what I want to wear. My favorite color is pink and I like to play soccer. I like hip-hop and I like to dance. I can be loud or very shy and quiet. I look pretty with or without makeup. I have my tongue and belly button pierced. I like to go shopping but I hate big crowds. I like all genres of movies. I like to travel but with my family! I like to talk on the phone and text. I like to hang out with my friends. I don’t trust no one besides myself. I think all guys are the same because not one has proved to me that there not. I am ME and nobody else.

My Show && Tell

If I were to show and tell I would bring my BIG teddy bear that my ex boyfriend/best friend gave me. I would pick my teddy bear to bring because it means a lot to me. I received my BIG teddy bear on Valentine’s Day. The best Valentine’s Day I ever had. I have always wanted a big teddy bear and he got me one that day. He brought it to me at 4:00 in the morning.


It’s special to me because Jon was special to me. The boy that gave it to me, I had been through everything with him, ups and downs. He would turn my day into something beyond what anyone else would ever make it. He would also bring out the worst and best of me. Even though he isn't my boyfriend anymore he is still my friend and that's something that I promised him when we first got together in 2008 of December 11th. The teddy bear reminds me of him every time I look at it I get a smile on my face. All the feelings I used to have for him are still the same just not as much. Jon and I were together for a year and we knew each other for five years. I knew his whole family and he knew mine. We would hang out on the weekends and on the week days every day after school. I would stay at his house until 8 or 9 on school days and on weekend days stay till 11 P.M or sometimes 12 A.M. The thing I loved most about him was his big bear hugs he gave me. He would squeeze me and pick me up and spin me around in circles. I loved how we would stay on the phone at night for hours talking about everything and anything. We would never get bored and we would just fall asleep on the phone together. We would laugh about the dumbest things. Every time we were together we would have fun. Play hide and go seek, tag, monopoly. We would go to the park in the middle of the night and go swinging or we would just lie in the grass and he would warm me. On his birthday I baked him a cake and his little sister Alexis helped me. I’m not that good at cooking but I still made an effort to make him one. On my birthday we went to the Japanese kitchen restaurant and we got to take a picture together. Everything we do have and always will have a special place in my heart. That’s why Jon Mikal Vidal is special to me which makes my teddy bear special to me too.

I never named my BIG teddy bear so it’s unnamed. I think I like it so much because it always stands out because of how big it is. The first thing people notice when they enter my room is my teddy. If I brought it to show and tell I would say that I sleep with it by my side every single night. I would also say that when I’m feeling down or lonely I use it as my pillow.

A child called It

  Pelzer’s child life, he was abused by his mother as he was growing up. When I first picked this book in the library I knew it would be a book that would interest me. I had heard of it before I got it and every since than I wanted to read it, so I got it and read it. It started off good just like any childhoods life. He went to school every day and had many friends. He had a loving, caring family that he could come home to. A room, a bed, clothes etc.

As the book goes on later on in his life he starts feeling like nobody loves him. His mom starts abusing him and he no longer knows the loving, caring mom that he did. She brainwashes him and tells him she loves him eventually she tells him she hates him and that she wishes he was dead. His brothers begin to grow up hating him and as some of his punishments they were allowed to hit him and kick him. He would get punished for stealing food from other students at his school when his mom never even gave him food. His punishment would be no dinner or breakfast.

Every night he would have to sleep in the garage and when he did have the privilege to go inside for any reason he wasn’t allowed to look or talk to anyone including his dad. When he went to school he had to wear the same dirty, smelly clothes every day that had holes and stains on them. When he was asked by a teacher or nurse what was going on at home he would lie and if they were to catch him lying or he would eventually give in and say the truth, they would call his mom and talk to her about it. After they would talk to her about it Dave Pelzer “A Child Called It” knew what was coming when he went home. He was punished. Dave Pelzer’s mom was an alcoholic and when she would abuse him with what she called her "games" and Dave had to learn how to play her games. She didn’t consider him her son at all to her he was a slave. He wasn’t even a boy he was an "it”.

His only hope was his dad he had gave up on everything else. He would pray to God and hope for the best but nothing he prayed and hoped for would come true. His mom got to the point where she made the father tired of it. His dad was the one to comfort him and tell him that everything’s going to be ok telling him that he wasn’t going to suffer for long.

Towards the end of the book the father finally leaves and Dave is scared because he has nobody to protect him anymore.

My Poem

Pink, yellow and purple flowers
brighten up the garden as the sun shines down

Lillys, sunflowers and tulups.
Birds singing and cherping in the air

like they say april showers bring may flowers,
It also brings beauty too!

My trip to Ruidoso

My trip to Ruidoso was awesome! It was my very first time there and I went with one of my best friends named Alexus and her family. We drove for three long hours just to get there. It was a small little town that had a bunch of trees and mountains everywhere, it was pretty. When we got to Ruidoso first thing we did was go to alexus's step dads moms house, that’s where we were staying at. Me and Alexus stayed in a little cabin behind her house that was right next to a mountain. The next day after we got there we went for walks everywhere. We went shopping in the little mall that only has about six stores. They even had a mini movie theater and we got to tour it. We saw how they worked it and we saw the V.I.P section. After that than that’s when we saw out movie, we watched Eclipse.


Every time we would drive somewhere in that little town we would see heard of dears crossing the road right in front of us. I think that the funnest part about it was going to the mountains. Even though it took a long time to get where we went. First we had a picnic by a river and then Alexus and i went walking across the river on the rocks. It was fun until we fell.

My sophomore year

I started off my sophomore year at Del Norte High School. I think that it started off fun I met allot of new people and had allot of friends that went there from the year before. When I started my sophomore year I was kind of nervous at first than excited at the same time. I was nervous because I didn't know where my classes were but I was excited because I was going to see all my friends again. I had fun while I was at Del Norte for the first semester. My best friend went there too her name is Alexus Cortez.
I learned allot at Del Norte I learned about the periodic table of elements in Chemistry, I thought that was hard. I learned different solids and liquids. I learned rubber and plastic are different. Chemistry was my favorite class but yet the hardest for me. I also learned equations in Algebra, I liked to do Math but never really understood it that much. I was in Art and learned how to draw 3D and 2 point. I never really did that much in that class because all of my friends were in that class and I got distracted really easy.
I stopped going to Del Norte after the winter break because I was going to go to a day treatment program. That’s a different story. I was there for almost the whole school year. After I went there I started attending school at Atrisco Heritage High School. I decided to come to Atrisco Heritage was because my friend Alexus was attending it also, I live by it and it’s the only school that would accept me so late in the year. When I started at Atrisco I didn’t know anyone because Alexus had got kicked out. I’ve only been attending Atrisco for a couple of months but my experience so far is good.
I met new friends and I like all of my classes and teachers. My favorite class would have to be Art. I learned allot in art at this school. We draw allot and do shading allot. I like to draw when it comes out nice. I learned about scale factors, surface area and how to fold shapes in Geometry. I learned how to hang a light in stage craft. My favorite project in Stage Craft was to design the costumes of any fairy tale. I chose to design Alice in Wonderland. In English I learned how to be careful and watch where to put my camas, and periods and stuff like that. I learned how to use better grammar and better, bigger words. I also learned how to create blogs and correct them on my blogger.
I learned some lessons in life during my sophomore year. I learned you can’t always rely on your partner or other people. I learned I can’t trust anyone and sometimes that includes family. I learned you can only change if you want to and that you can’t make anybody change no matter how hard you try.
