Journal #2 List of Things

è Make me laugh

· My brother

· My mom

· The word” Silence”

· Someone falling

· My niece

The word silence makes me laugh because during my freshman year it made Leonela, Brenda, Jadzia and I laugh. This happen while we were in the lunchroom and we were talking and all of the sudden Jadzia said silence and Leonela started to laugh a lot. During our years at the high school this word made everyone laugh. Whenever one of us would say the word, we all laugh so much that it would make us cry.

è Inspire me

· 8^th grade social studies teacher

· Leonel Messi

· My Mom

· My Dad

· My family

My Eight grade Social Studies teacher inspired me to become interested in political science and history. He’s a historian and I was in AP History for two years, and I was also involved with the Model UN program. He was a teacher that gave lectures and I was always interested in what he had to say. I wrote two thesis papers and he was the one that pushed me to do better and just his ways of teaching. Also he inspired me because he was one of my teachers that was on top of me to keep up my work and reach for my dream.

è I wish I had never said

· Goodbye to him

· I hate you

· I don’t want you around

· I am going to cry for you

· You are my everything

I wish I had never said “I hate you” to my dad. My dad and I are close but things get in the way. At a soccer game, he had yelled at me for someone else’s mistake and I was upset. He yelled at me in front of everyone and at that moment I told him” I hate you”. Since that day my dad barely tells me anything during a game. I feel bad because he’s my dad and I know I hurt his feelings. Till this day I can barely talk to him about my playing.

è I’m afraid of

· Death

· Getting hurt(soccer)

· Dogs

· My mom

· Hospitals

During my soccer games, I think about winning and not messing/injuring my knee, ankle, or thigh. This started to happen when I was about 15 years old. I was playing against a hard team, I went to attack the player and I had two players on me. During a kick some girl had kicked my ankle. I didn’t go to the hospital at all and my dad had bought me an ankle brace. I couldn’t play for at least a month that I thought to myself that I was never going to touch a soccer ball again.

è I love to eat

· Pizza

· Ice cream

· Chuchitos

· Tamales

· Steak

Steak has always been my favorite thing to eat. I t runs in the family, everyone is basically a meat eater. I go crazy whenever I see meat. Steak gets me motivated and it always gives me strength and other than that it’s really good. Steak give a lot of vitamins and its good for your muscles especially if you play a sport, that why I eat so much of it.

è My favorite team

· Comuncaciones

· FC Barcelona

· Manchester United

· Chivas

· Brazil

My favorite team is FC Barcelona. This club started as nothing to become the best club in Europe. Barcelona has dominated one of the best clubs, Real Madrid. The best player, Leonel Messi is one of their best players, other than Xavi Hernandez, Carlos Puyol, and others more. FC Barcelona took a lot of championships throughout the European League. FC Barcelona is my favorite team ever. Whenever there’s a game, I always watching.

è Favorite Character

· Hello kitty

· Cookie Monster

· Elmo

· Disney Princesses

· Spongebob

My Favorite character would be Cookie Monster. When I was a little girl, I always loved to watch Sesame place and I loved it when Cookie Monster would show up with either wanting a cookie or making a big mess. Cookie Monster is very significant to me because I own a Cookie Monster which was given to me by a very special person. It’s also very significant to me because it’s one of my inner child characters; it’s a reflection of my childhood.

è Favorite Brand

· Nike

· Adidas

· Puma

· Hollister

· Victoria’s Secret

Hollister is one of my favorite clothing brands because its unique and very colorful, but very expensive. Hollister is expensive because either they use a special type of material that the clothing is made off or they sell it. Hollister was first noticeable when I first walked in one of their stores at Jersey Garden. I walked in and I fell in love with their clothes and the fact that some of the clothes show who I am.

è Favorite Soda

· Dr. Pepper

· Ginger ale

· Coca Cola

· Club Soda

· Pepsi

Dr. Pepper is my favorite soda because one of my best friends, Krystal Peralta, that told me once “Delmy, try it, it’s good”. Since that day I always drink this soda. It has a flavor that gives you goose bumps. Its either cherry or normal, but I like either or.

è Favorite soccer player

· Leonel Messi

· Xavi Hernandez

· Carlos Puyol

· Fernando Torres

· Ronaldhino

There are a lot of soccer players that are my favorite, but Carlos Puyol is my idol other than Messi. Carlos Puyol plays the position Last man, meaning he’s behind every player and in front of the goalie. He is the captain of FC Barcelona and he controls the defense. His is my idol because he plays my position and I look up too him as a defense player.

è Favorite Shirt/Jersey

· FC Barcelona

· Guatemala

· Argentina

· Brazil

· Spain

I have a lot of favorite shirts/jersey, but my favorite is my country shirt. Guatemala is my favorite out of all because it’s my country and everything is above my country. Baby blue and white represent my colors and my pride and it’s my passion to wear these colors. Guatemala might be the worst team in soccer history but above all that; it’s a very special and passionate country not just for me but for others too.

è Career

· Lawyer

· Professional soccer player

· Historian

· Teacher

· A mother

I want to be lawyer as my main career because I like to learn about the government and everything that is involve with politics. I also like to defend people and I think it would be the main reason why I want to become a lawyer. Being a lawyer has always been a passion to me since I was little girl and I would always tell my family “ I am going to be a lawyer and defend you whenever you need me” and this always been a dream to me to become a great person such as a lawyer.

è Favorite Memory

· My quinceanera

· My eight grade graduation

· My first love

· My first goal

· Coming to the United States

My favorite memory is my quineanera. This is a very memorable memory because my family and all my friends where there with me in this special day. It was a fairytale. I had seven boys as my court and we danced dances that were unforgettable. Having my family there was the best because it’s a good thing to share with the ones close to you. It was all a girl could have ever wanted.

è Favorite subject

· Math

· History

· Gym

· Science

· Spanish

My favorite subject would be history because it interests me to learn about what happen in the past, present and what might happen in the future. Also because it is interesting to learn about how the world is and how politics are what they are now. The development of strong nations compares to the wear ones, how civilizations started and how they could have ended. Different time periods in which everything was peaceful and how that ended up being in the future. Everything is interesting because some people don’t know as much as they think.

è Favorite color to wear

· Pink

· Blue

· Purple

· Yellow

· Red

Pink is my favorite color to wear because it shows the girly side of me and how I am as a person. Pink isn’t only for small girls, it’s for everyone else, even men. I think that whoever wears pink must be a person that doesn’t care of what people think about them or what they are seen to be. I find men attractive when they wear pink because sometimes it takes a real man to wear pink and I think that’s really cute and I think that the man doesn’t care of what ways he’s seen in but what he sees in himself.

è Worst cereal I ever tasted

· Fruit loops

· Honey bunches of oats Almond

· Coco Puffs

· Captain Crunch

Fruit loops I think is the worst cereal I ever tasted because it has too much sugar and it has no flavor. Also I don’t like because it just taste like fruit and nothing else. When I was small, I ate a cup of it and I threw up for at least a week and since that day I don’t eat it at all because I had I bad experience with this cereal.

è TV show

· Power puff Girls

· Sponge bob square pants

· Teen Mom

· Family Guy

· The life of an American Teenager

The TV show I like to watch is Teen Mom. Teen Mom is about four girls that their lives changed because they were pregnant at age fifteen and sixteen. This show shows how these girls changed their whole lives because of their kids. The struggles that these girls made shows the reality of being pregnant when you are not ready and it shows future generations to think about being safe and know the consequences of their actions if they aren’t safe enough.

è Favorite Artist

· Lady GaGa

· Trey Songz

· Drake

· Lil Wayne

· Sin Bandera

Lady GaGa is one of my favorite artist because she is unique in her ways and doesn’t care about what anyone thinks of her but what she thinks of herself. GaGa is a figure to me because she doesn’t care who she is as long as she satisfies herself she is fine with whatever comes her way.

è Future homes

· Italy

· California

· Florida

· Chicago

· Spain

Spain is the place of dreams, hope and beauty. This is the place where I want to live the most because of all its architecture and its history that follows on how Spain now. Spain has so many beauties, landscapes that a person would like to be part of and I want to share that with the people who care and love me and tell them “ oh look I live in one of the wonder s of the world”.

è A good friend

· Honest

· Caring

· Loyal

· Respectful

· Loving

A good friend to me has to be honest because I believe that honesty is the answer to a good relationship/friendship. Without honesty there isn’t a lot of communication and not enough trust in you, themselves or each other. Being honest shows that friends have respect for what is going to happen in the friendship and honesty leads to everything else like trust, worthiness, loyal and everything else.
