What is your favorite holiday? What is your least favorite holiday?
I guess my favorite would have to be Christmas. Not because of the presents, but because of those little Christmas movies/shows that they have on television, those moments you spend with your family, those two-three weeks we get for vacation, and last but not lease the faces my 3 year old nephew makes when he opens his presents. My least favorite holiday would have to be well I don't really think I really have a holiday which I don't like. They're all good I guess. No matter what we have a day off of school, so that's nice.
Who are you most like? Mom? Dad?
I think I'm most like my Mom because she's talkative and could make friends off the back like that, she's very outgoing, but if it was based on looks I look more like my Dad, but my Dad isn't talkative like my Mom and I mainly go to my Mom for everything since she does talk back to me and give me advice. My Dad is basically just there. I have my Dad's height and eyebrows, but my Mom's outgoingness. The only look I have from my Mom is her dimple.
Most important event of your life?
I guess the most important event would probably be I guess when I was born. I mean if I wasn't born no other events would have happen. If I wasn't born life would probably be different I would be one less person you knew. I guess the next important event in my life would probably be when I got hit by a car. I know it sounds weird, but yeah that pretty much changed my life. I found out who really cared for me and since the guy who hit me is paying for all my hospital bills I had to go to court and all that and all in all I'm getting 15,000 when I'm 18. So I guess that could really be life changing.
Write some of the pressures on high school students.
The challenges that students face in high school are endless. We have problems with drugs, sex, dropping out, keeping your grades up, basically all the peer pressures that any kid can face. If I could give them any advice it would be to just say no. No would probably be the best answer for anything. Yes there are going to be parties you want to go to, but you don't need all that to have fun. Staying in school would probably be the best. Getting an education can take you anywhere and give you so many jobs. It's also good to choose your friends wisely. If they do something you don't want to do, don't do it.

I remember clearly when my very first niece was born. She was born on March 22, 2010 on a afternoon. She was cute and chubby. In my heart, she will forever be the cutest baby niece of mine. I love her with all my heart, even though she can be a pain in the butt sometimes. I try my best to be the best auntie. I am willing to do anything to support and guide her through life. I want to be a good influence to her, therefore i will be working my hardest in life. Now that she is reaching the age of 2, I am starting to get really worry becuase she is reaching what people call it the "trouble two" the worst year ever!! But no matter what it is, i have to deal with it because i adore and love my beautiful niece. Lily 2nd period |

Someone of the advantages and disadvantages of being single. Is if your single sometimes you could really happy with that fact your living that single life. And don't have to committee to any particular person. You don't have to get them a Christmas present. That would be considered some advantages of being single. But there also could be disadvantages when it comes to being single like, being lonely and wanting to be with someone or seeing other couples together who look so happy and wanting the exact same thing for yourself. Everything will usually have its advantages and disadvantages depending on how you feel or want at the time.

Some of the pressures of being a high school student can be the pressure parents but on some kids to get good grades. Getting to class on time and staying out of trouble. Getting all of homework done on time making sure we get all our credits and hours for school. Also students in high school who are 16 years old or old usually have to worry about maintaining a job and keeping up with their grades. To try to be at least a little independent. And if all your grads aren't where there supposed to be, and you didn't pass all of your classes with all your credits. Sometimes you have to take night school to make that up.

I love winter break because we do different things every year. Like its our tradition that we go sledding every year before and after Christmas. That's my favorite holiday of all time because i get to spend it with my family.
One of the most important things in my life to this date is my nephew. He was born on April 26, 2010. His full name is Edgar Jesus Chino. He was born with big, fluffy, adorable cheeks. Whenever I am with him, I am always smiling. My nephew always makes my days, seeing him smile is the best thing ever. Right now, he is a year old. He is so smart! He talks way too much, :o but it's okay, I love hearing his voice. His favorite movie is Toy Story, he literally watches that movie 3 times a day. I think I memorized it by now. Dx He watched Toy Story 3 a couple times too, but I think it's the cutest thing ever when he does. Everytime Buzz Lightyear comes up in the movie, (no matter how many times he's seen the movie or if he just recently said it).. he screams "BUZZ!!" My nephew means the world to me, I love him to death, I couldn't have asked for a better baby boy. Ilse B. |

The animal that I think I resemble is a bunny because bunnies are innocent. Bunnies are sometimes clumsy and so am I. My friend told me that I looked like a bunny which I do'nt get. Supposably because of my teeth, but my teeth are normal, so she's mental in the head. I'm not sure how the personality fits into me because like, bunnies dont talk. My skin color is light and so are bunnies. I actually had a bunny before and it was white with red eyes. I think it died....oh no wait, we gave it away :( sadness..

There have been many firsts that have happened that I clearly remember, but if I had to choose I would pick my first boyfriend. My first boyfriend was in 7th grade when I was about thirteen. When I look back at it and I realize I was really....young. His name was Leo. I didn't have my first kiss with him though because I was far too nervous and I just felt like I wasnt ready. I liked him somewhat, but once I was IN the relationship it felt super weird. I guess I was moving too fast into already having a boyfriend. I wasn't mature enough. I was such an idiot and so new to it that I broke up with him in a note LOL plus I had someone give it to him insetad of me xD
