What I'm gr8ful for

There are many things why I am grateful for. One reason for what I'm thankful for, is my family, especially my parents. They keep my head up when I go through hard times, they feed me, have a roof where I can live at, and take care of me and want me to succeed. I'm thankful for my parents that always look out for me and want me to go into a good path in life. Also, my sister and my two brothers each got each other's back and we never stop loving each other, even though we might get into fights and arguments. I may have days where I'm mad at my siblings or parents and I say don't want want them in my life, but who else would care for me besides them? No one. That is why I am thankful, we might have ups and downs, but at the end of the day, we all love each other and been there for each other through thick and thin. Another reason why I'm thankful for is going to school.  Not many kids get the chance to afford to go to school because they go through poverty. That's why I don't argue going to school, because many kids want and wish to go to school, and I can actually afford it and go to school to get education. Also, District 100, which is our district, gives us Ipads to do our work and learn. I could tell you, every single day I go to school, I oearn something new and a new life experience. I work hard in school to have good grades for my future. What I do right now, depends on my future. A third reason why I am thankful for is having food and a roof to live on everyday which goes back to my parents, because without them I wouldn't have these things. They work hard to feed us and keep a roof above our heads. They buy us anything we want, sometimes it's difficult for them to buy what we want but I understand when they can't. A last and fourth reason why I'm thankful for is having health. Sometimes I think about it and I am like, many people aren't really in good health conditions and have some sort of sickness. I am just happy that I have health and thank god for being healthy. All in all, that's what's thanksgiving all about, to be greatful for the things you have around you.

Election Reflection

My thoughts on this election in general was that it was a very different one than any other elections before. It was different because thorughout the whole election, the republican side was Donald Trump and all he talked about how he would want to get rid of immigrants around the whole country, how he would want to build a wall on the border of Mexico and the U.S., and he also talked bad about women. It was just a different election because I never heard and seen any candidates before that wanted to be president, talk negative. Usually, people of the U.S. want a president that has a positive mindset for the country, the future of our country, and how we would keep America strong and be all united. In the democratic side, Hillary Clinton was trying to help the country to have a bright future and have a better economy and how we would be stronger together, hence her campaign slogan. It was also different from any other elections because during the election season, Hillary was being investigated for emails that were used by her. In my opinion, why would people want a president that either has lawsuits and is negative or is being investigated. This shows us what kind of people we have running for president of our country that will later represent the U.S.

My thoughts on this election was that I was suprised that Donald Trump won the election and would be our next president but other than that I was sad he won and will be president. I was surprised because before he election day, they said Hillary would win due to the poles. I was happy that Hillary might win but then due to the Elctoral College, Trump won the election. I was sad because Trump won and how I might go back to Mexico with my family and wouldnt be able to have better opportunities anymore for my education. Also, because he is a person that talks whatever that comes out of his mouth without thinking, he is just a negative person. I didn't want a person that talks bad about people and was racists because that person will represent our country. I wanted a person like Hillary that had great mindset for the future of the U.S. I really feel like it will take time for America to adjust and be the same diverse country it has always been.


I  would not want to be involved in politics right now but later on in the future, I would like to be more involved in politics because it's important to understand politics because it is part of the U.S. where politician can depend on me. Politician reflects on the U.S. and on us because its a big part where people represent us to have a better country together. In the next election, I will be voting and find it very exiciting because I will be actually voting. I will vote for the best canditate that has a positive mindset and has postive ideas for the future of our country. A big part of me where I'm excited is that when I vote, my vote will be towards someone that will make America a better place and my vote will reflect on the U.S. for the next president for us.


Some issues I think that are important relating to the election is immigration, racism, hate, and economy. These topics were talked about a lot throughout the elections. Immigration is one important issue because Donald Trump wants to stop immigration and build a wall between the border of Mexico and the U.S. In my opinion, why would he want to build a wall? It would take years to be build and he is throwing money away and wasting it. Another issue is racism and hate because Donald Trump doesn't want no one that came from different countries in America. He is racists towards muslims, hispanics, and African Americans. He talks about how he doesn't want them here and how he wants to deport hispanics. A second issue is that economy, which might be the most important one. Hillary and Trump talked about how they both wanted to make America's economy better and wanted to shape up the economy. Overall, I respect our next president which is Donald Trump and I will keep my head up for the next four years until I get a chance to vote.

Best Day Ever!

The best day ever for me was when I went to Mexico for the first time in my life! This happened 2 years ago and I haven't went since then, but I would want to go again. The second day was actually my favorite in Mexico from my summer vacation 2 years ago because I never went there and I never saw my family over there. I always heard my parents say that Mexico is way different from here. They say in Mexico, you live in farms, go out to crop, ride horses, and take care of their animals in their own houses. The second day, it was sunny and hot, and I explored everything in Mexico. I could hear, see, and sense that Mexico is really different. It is really different from city life. It took nearly 4 hours to get there and when my brothers and I landed in an airport in Mexico, my uncld and his family were awaiting for me and my brothers. I knew how he looked from pictures I saw when my dad would show me. My brothers and I were really nervous because it was really difficult in my part to talk to my family that I never met before.

We usually got there at night when we got to the airport, which was the first day, and my uncle drove us to his house. The roads were reall bumpy, filled with rocks when we entered the city, or what they call it in Mexico, a village/pueblo. When we got to his house, we ate dinner and then went to sleep. The next day, which was the best day of my life, we learned how to feed the animals such as the cows, chickens, roosters, and horses. We got to ride horses, I was the one to ride the horse my dad owned. We met all of our family members from my mom's side and dad's side, especially our grandparents and grandmothers. We also, which I found funny and joyous, got to actually own a dog and a bunny that my cousins gave me because we never owned a pet here, in the United States. Furthermore, the second day of Mexico was the best day of my life because I got to learn and see how people around the world live with different lifestyles and cultures. I never thought Mexico would be so fun, I was always free in the wild and nobody, neither the police to tell you something you can't do. I would go ride horses all day long, woke up early to feed the animals, and help work with my grandpas with their crops. I just had a different lifestyle over there and experienced the awesome cultures Mexico has and met my other part of my family.
