If you could be given one skill or ability, which would you want, why would you want it and what would you do with it?

The ability that i would choose would be the ability to fly.This would just be amazing i could go anywhere on the world in short periods of time and i could also go to my home country anytime i wanted.Every time that i missed my family, friends or girlfriend,i could just fly over there and even bring them here,so they'll get to know miami,this would be great.I would just spend the rest of my days just flying over to my country,and enjoying the best out of both countries.From this country i would get the "good" education,learning english and the most important dollars.From my country i would get fun,friends,family,girls,presidente and everything you could wish to be happy.

Write about the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to you. What was it? What made it so frightening? How old were you? Would it be scary again today if it happened again?

I think that the scariest thing that has ever happened to me was to sleep in the same room were somebody had commited suicide in the past.Supposedly his soul was never at rest so in the night you could hear weird noises and things would stop functioning and would suddenly fall apart.What made it so frightening was the fact that i actually heard noises and i heared the steps of someone in the middle of the night.When this happened i had just turned 13.It wouldn't be scary anymore cause i later found out that it was all a lie:things would stop working because they were defective,the steps i heard were the ones from my cousin who would sneak out to go to parties in the middle of the night,and the noises were from my uncle who had a terrible snoring problem.

Write about the most exciting thing that ever happened to you. What was it? What made it so exciting? How old were you? Would it be exciting if you did it again?

I think that one most exiting things that ever happened to me was my first kiss,the reason it was so exiting was because the girl was really beautiful,and the moment was just great,we where in the wheel of fortune,we stopped at the top,it was a dark night with the stars shining...and so on.When this happened i was 12 years old, and i think that everytime i kiss a new girl it is really exiting and different and i don't think that it will ever lose it's mystery,surprise or exitement.

Write about a belief you've discarded. Talk about why you no longer believe in this belief?

A belief that i used to believe was in santa claus,which consisted that on christmas eve a red dressed man with a white beard,a friendly face, and 12 dears,would go all over the world giving toys to the kids who behaved well during all year.The reason why i don't believe in this anymore,is because it is virtually imposible that somebody could that in one night,and come on "flying dears"? gimme a break.It is a believe that most kids believe but soon realize that it is a lie.

Do you have chores or jobs that you have to do at home? What are they? Why do you have to do them? Do you like doing them?

Yes,i have chores and jobs to do at home,they are: taking out the trash,washing my own dishes,dust off the house,and clean my room, and maintain it clean.The reason why i have to do them is because my mom says that everyone in the house needs to do something and that is what i'm stuck with.I really don't like doing them,but i don't like living in a dirty house,and if i don't do it nobody else is going to.But i really can't complain because in my country,i had to wash my own cloth,sweep the floor,wash the dishes,dust off the house,clean my room,and even more things.

What holidays does your family celebrate (like Christmas, Kwanzaa, or Hanukkah)? What do you do on those holidays?

In my family, we celebrate Christmas.What we do in this holiday is just get together and spend time together as a family.We usually give each other presents, because even though that's not the real meaning of christmas,that's the way we were raised,and everybody likes presents.Also on the 24th we have a big dinner,were all of our family and friends come to spend the night together.On the 25th we receive our presents from each other,and finally on the last day of the year,we have a big dinner with fireworks and everything else where again,all of our family and friends get together.So....that's it that is how i celebrate Christmas.

Write about your favorite and least favorite teachers. Why do you like them or dislike them? What can they do to be better teachers in your eyes?

My favorite teachers are Ms.Sands,Ms.Troianiello,and you Mr.Martinez.My least favorite teacher is Mr. Cox.The reason i like my favorite teachers is because they teach their class, but they do it in a fun way,thus making the learning enviroment exellent and really comfortable as well.The reason that some teachers are in my least favorite is because their class is dull and boring and even though they teach well,is very hard to pay attention such a boring class.I think what teachers need to do to make class better, is to encourage us to work,without overwhelming us with too much homework,and to try to make the class fun and enjoyable.

Write about your best friends. Who are they? Why do you like them? What do you do together for fun?

My best friends go way back to my childhood,most of them were raised with me and we all lived closely.I have a lot friends ,but my best friends are:Armando,Luis,Luisito,Ronny,Richie,Eliomar,Josian,and Leonardo.When we are together we always have a blast,we could be in the most boring situation and still they would find out a way to have fun.What i like about them is that they are all really funny,loyal and trustworthy.They have always been there for me and everytime i see them they welcome me with a friendly smile.Mostly,what we do for fun is go to parties,play basketball,go to the river,go to the beach, and chill at the park.But whatever happens all i know is that i can always count on my best friends.

Write about a time when you were brave. Describe the situation, do you believe that the experience made you a stronger person?

I believe a time that i was brave was when a group of people tried to beat up one of my best friends.The moment i saw this i just grabed a big rock and threw it at them,they saw me and then went after me,luckily a friend of mine who's really big was walking by and when he saw their intentions he just ran and started hitting them and when they saw they were overpowered by my friend they just ran away.I beleive that this situation made me a stronger person because i helped somebody else and even though i might have gotten beaten i standed up for myself.

Write about a time when you were dishonest. Describe the situation, do you regret being dishonest?

A time when i was dishonest was when i cheated on my girlfriend but i hid it from her.She was suspecting it but everytime that she asked i just kept saying no and no.she later caught me and it was just horrible.I do regret being dishonest and lying to her,because i hurted her feelings,and in the end,my feelings too.After that experience i think i am never going to cheat or be dishonest again, because it just felt horrible and when people know that you are a dishonest person they lose their trust on you,because they are already expecting you to lie or they don't consider you a trustworthy person.Also, being dishonest won't get you far in life because if people know about your dishonest actions they won't hire you and you will always be marked for life.

Is there a value in celebrating certain individuals as heroes? Plan and write a blog in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

Yes,i do believe that there is a value in celebrating heroes or giving recognition to the people that deserve it,yes we are all flesh and blood but some people do courageous acts that makes them deserve the name "hero".To some people the word hero means to them superman,spider-man,ect..But the truth is that a hero could be a normal person just like you and me.Some examples of heroes are fire fighters,police man,and simply people who did heroic acts.To be a hero we don't need to have super powers,just do what is right and try to help people everytime that we can.

Describe the last vacation or holiday you took. what made it special? How long ago did it occur? Does having a fun necessarily have to involve a certain place or certain people? Hypothetically speaking, which would you rather take, a three day holiday spent at home, but with your favorite people to spend with your favorite people in the world, or three days anywhere you choose in the world (all expenses paid), but with no one you really know well.

The last vacation i took was a trip back home to dominican republic,this trip was great because i hadn't seen my family since i got here and this gave me a chance to see them,i also got to see my old friends and everybody i care about.This vacation was the summer that just passed.In the situation given i think i would choose to spend 3 days in home with my favorite people,this people would always find a way to make things fun and this are people that i really care about.I also liked the other choice because it gives me the chance to get to know some people better,but i still rather spend time with my family,girlfriend and friends.
