End of Upward Bound 2010

I've been blogging since last year and there are some things I like about blogging and there are other things i dislike. I like the fact that I get to express my feelings and at times its a way to get things off my mind. It's rare that it gets boring because there's always something you can write about. Reading other peoples' blogs lets me know that some people have the same view on some things and others might have some interesting view points as well. Despite sharing my feeling and reading other people's blogs, when your assigned to blog a a certain time it might be difficult because for me I have to be in a moment in where everything comes together and I can put down my feelings instantly. So i suggest maybe assign a topic at times because at some point it feels like we've ran out of things to write. Other then that blogging is pretty fascinating.
It's coming to an end, upward bound "class of 2010" it's been a pleasure. I'm glad I got to cherish memories that will forever be with me. It's been fun, at times I wish it was longer just to be with "the family" but I'm really pumped for my summer to begin. The minute I go home, I'll be visiting my love, my everything, the thing I spend half the time with, the thing I call my bed. Once I catch up on sleep, I'm going away on a trip. I don't plan on being home for a while. I want to spend time with my friends and have time where nothing else matters but getting to enjoy every second of the day. I really can't wait for soccer to start and I might be getting a job at Hollister. As for my Senior year, I'll sure make the best of it. Taking classes at CC is something I'm really looking forward to doing. Other then that I plan on living life as it comes.

2nd to last post.

Twix, twix, Oh how I love you so. Your sweetness just drives me insane. I know you're harmful for my body but I just can't resist having you at least once a week. I'm strong and it has gotten better everyday. The presence of your need is not needed so much anymore. I not saying I don't miss you, I'm just learning to live without you. :( Here I am, trying to figure what I did wrong, why me..why me! If the consequences weren't cavities, I promise you'd always be in my hand.

Upward bound is coming towards an end, It's really hard to believe but we have four more days to go.

upward bound

It's Monday, and it's the last week of upward bound. In some ways, I'm really happy that we get to go home for good, but then again I'm going to miss a lot of things about it. Sure it's hard work, but then again it's what helps improve on our skills. In many ways I wished we all went to the same school. All the things we've gone through, good or bad; these circumstances only got us closer. Staying up late trying to get our homework done before sun rises, staying up so late studying that when it comes to the test, we don't remember anything. Laugh so hard we end up on the floor, writting it down as a inside joke. Man, I'm sure going to miss upward bound.

......

What can I say, I don't have anything in mind except going home. This week has gone pretty fast but as of now I wouldn't mind being home right. I miss my dad, he's been gone for a while now.
It's not the same without him. This past Sunday, I was dropped off, my father wasn't there to say good bye. It's been really different, I hope this doesn't go on . I want everything to be back to normal. Friday, Oh how I love you so. Getting to go home and sleep for an eternity is what I'm looking forward to the most. Six more days of Upward Bound, It's coming towards an end. I'm happy but I wouldn't say I'm going to miss it.The memories, the laughs, and new friends, I must say it's been a pleasure.

Wrinting/English

English and writing have been challenging over the years. I wasn't born in the United States, so when I first arrived here I had to learn a language that I saw and viewed as sound and worlds that didn't make sense at all. I didn't give up, I tried and tried until I succeeded. English was once my enemy, but I've learned to love it as it was in my blood the moment I was born. I had no idea I was able to reach English at this level; writing essays and readying challenging books I enjoyed what I worked for. Being good at something can be a good thing but loving something can be even better. Writing is a way to express what I feel, I like writing mostly about my experience and making someone get goosebumps due to the power and flow of my writing. My AP teacher has done a lot to help my writing skills. What can I say I enjoy writing...well for the most part.. Oh and of course Mrs. Breen you've helped me a lot as well.

<-???->

I'm sitting here in writing class, its exactly 8:15. I have nothing on my mind, I don't have anything to say, and as the time clicks by it makes me feel as if I'm not part of this world. At this point I have no purpose in being here, you can say I'm here physically but the real me is off on another world. I day dream about the future and I think about the past. The more I think, the more I realize life should be lived one day at a time. Why take tomorrow for granted, one doesn't know what a year, a month, a week, a hour or even a minute has in store for us. Live life as if you'll die tomorrow, laugh as if you'll live forever. Don't let anybody tell you you're not good enough, strive to achieve the best and live life to the fullest.

The LONG weekend

I must say, I am really looking forward to this weekend. Fourth of July is right around the corner, and it's something that we celebrate as a family. For Fourth of July we usually go to silver lake and watch the fire works from there, if its not Silver lake we're somewhere near a beach. Being with my family is something that I really enjoy and I make the best of being with them. This year, I don't know how well its going to flow because my dad is in California for a while, and I don't know when he is coming back. I miss waking up at whatever time I want, I also miss doing what I please during the day. I miss...home. Hopefully these last days go flying by.

Change

Change
"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending" -Maria Robinson
Living in the past can be something difficult to over come, especially if it's something that you'll treasure for ever. Nobody can go back in the past and fix every single mistake they've gone through. It's true, a lot of people take too much time off their lives thinking about how it would be different; taking everything back. What many individuals don't seem to notice is that we learn from our mistakes, and it the reason why we're here to this day. Let it go, start out fresh and make a new ending. If you really think about it, all the things we've gone through; all the memories, all the mistakes, everything in the past...made us who we are.

Summon

Summon is a very helpful searching engine. In the past I've always thought google was the best way to find information when searching a topic. I never really thought it got easy as summon. When you think about it everything has a downside, that also includes summon. You can say it's convenient in many ways but there are times in where it lets you down as well; depending on the topic. In my future papers I believe summon will help me because it has ways of narrowing topics down and it lets me know what categories have more information that I can rely on. If I could use Summon to look up anything I would look up how other people see sports or the philosophy about life. Philosophy about life would interest me the most because reading about how others view life can be really interesting. I liked using Summon because now its something I can rely on in the future. It's also something that can make researching a lot easier.

Discovering myself

I'm not the same anymore; over the years I've noticed many changes in myself. Many individuals might say "change" isn't necessarily a good thing, but in this situation I believe it's for the better. I've been through a lot in the past years and certain situations made me grow, grow to a point in where I've learned to see life in various ways. When I run into a problem and I find myself chained to the floor, I always stop and say to myself "You've overcame many obstacles, you've achieved a lot, why let this situation stop you". Then I think and know that it will only make me stronger. Life has a lot of downs and getting back up will only make one stronger. I always think of my parents and letting them down is not an option. I am strong.

Music

I love how I can turn to music no matter what situation I find myself in. I can be the worse mood, but with a click of a button I find myself drawn to a whole another world. Music is amazing and I wouldn't know how this world would be without it. Music is the solution to almost every problem. It understands anyone's situation no matter who you are. There's a lot of situations where I feel as if no one understands me. Music in the other hand, can relate to every single one of my feelings.

We saved the Dog

Went to get the books for Mrs. Breen, saw the dog and we're back.

The World cup

Spain might be known for many things but when it comes to soccer it's a whole another level. Soccer might be considered as part of their religion. Taking soccer seriously means they're experts in playing the game. It also means they're top in the nation. Fifa World cup 2010, It was expected for Spain to win the cup if not at least ending up in second place. It was a devastating loss against Switzerland. It was really unexpected, and really disappointing. As off now it's hard to tell if Spain will be able to take the cup. Then again anything can happen in soccer. Mexico ALL the way!

On the other hand I'm not really looking forward towards watching then next Transformers since Megan Fox has been replaced by a Victoria Secret Model. It's not going to be the same anymore. She was in the first two movies and the third one isn't going to be the same anymore. As I read more about the topic, Megan Fox either quit or fired it depends on who one asks.

Being able to play soccer has been a privilege. I haven't really put much thought into imagining how the world would be like without Soccer. The minute I walk into a soccer field it feels like I've taken a step into a whole different world. When I'm on the soccer field its seems as if nothing else matters; the problems, my worries and anything that seems to be going wrong vanishes that instant. Many individuals might not know where I'm coming from, but once one finds a hobby that one's really loves it changes everything.

I miss

Now that I think about it, my Birthday is in 5 days. When I was little it was all I ever thought about. Back then it was plain and simple. When it came towards making a decision the hardest thing came down to picking out a crayon. Now it's much more then that. Not caring about getting into trouble, not even thinking about the consequences. Over the years everything started to change, starting with school; getting good grades, and trying to fulfill what is known as the American dream. Being a child has gathered many good memories, but from this nothing might be understood but one thing is for sure I miss my childhood.

Sitting next to Kayla a really cool person, I'm glad we met each other. She's unique: )

Blogging Experience

Blogging has been around for a while now, and to be honest I find it sort of fascinating. It all stared in my first year of Upward Bound. At first blogging didn't have much meaning to me but as time went by I realized it's really useful at times. Blogging started as an assignment and it ended up as a hobby.
