Warning you ahead, learn your lesson

Confederate soldier's boot

I've seen many horrible things during my years of walking,
but none were as horrific as the Civil War and

diminishing anything in either parties ways,
the North and South
both enemies on the battle field.

Walking on the battle field
knowing that you will die
or be very injured.

Walking on the battle field
seeing more than your can imagine,
DIE BODIES
spread out through 100 of miles

We learn our consequences now,
by deaths, and regrets
The will power that kept,
every solider fighting
and every political leader arguing.

I will always remember this War,
and so should you,
history might repeat itself.







 

Can Major Events Transform you?

Witness to me means seeing something happen that either is bad or good. Being a witness, depending on the situation can transform you. In my case I became a witness of the Holocaust. Meeting a holocaust survivor and learning her story and everyone else is story at the museum impacted me. This trip made me realize how lucky I am, to be safe, with great parents, a nice house, food on the table everyday. Not everyone has this especially the people in the holocaust, it was a horrible time which some people survived it and some sadly didn't. I still can't seem to rap my head around the idea of the holocaust, that people would kill other people based on their religion and who they are. My job being a witness of the horrific event, I can be grateful and make the world a better place and making people more aware of things going around them just like i became more aware going to this museum. There will always be more good over evil as long as I will stand.

Q2 Blog

The protagonist, Lee Waite in the short story "Sixty Acres" by Raymond Carver is faced with making two important decision one to lease out his property, and two what he should do with the two kids that he caught hunting on his land. Lee Waite had a bit of a tough decision because he wants to do the best for his family, so leasing out the property would be the better move financially. The second tough decision he was faced with was what he should do with the kids that came into his territory to kill his animals, should he scare them and make them see who is boss or just let them off easy.


The decision he made shows his personality, he may be a softy, but when it comes down to his manly hood and his home he will defend it, but maybe not as well as he thinks he can. Lee Waite let the kids off easy and regrets it later.  The other problem with leasing out his land he still didn't come to a decision which shows that he might not always make the best decisions and maybe needs a little guidance. Making "big" decision shows who you are, and illustrates what is important to you. Certain decision are made by your personality or what is in you, your guts or your heart. Decision are made, and they illustrates who you are as a person, and what shaped you to be who you are and for you to make a decision because your the only one that can make it.

My Time Capsule

My Time Capsule

The first thing i would put in my time capsule(family/childhood) is a suitcase tag because my family and I have been traveling since I was a little baby. The second thing I would put in my time capsule (heritage/heritage/roots) is a Italian Flag because I'm half Italian. The 3rd thing i would put in my time capsule (accomplishment/achievements) is a globe because when I'm older I want to do something important, something that can change people's lives. The last thing i would put in my time capsule (legacy left behind) is a photo album because it show my past legacy and my future legacy. I would put everything in a big clear mason jar, its simple but still very classy and nice.

Inside and Out

My mask shows myself on the inside and out. Flowers indicate joy, youth, and happiness. The red beads sprinkled around my mask symbolizes my boldness and curiosity. White and black beads surround almost all of my eye seeming like i want to be covered up and hidden which represent my insecurity but also my shyness. I have a couple of golden studs which also represent my boldness but also my pzazz, funnies and adventurousness. I didn't completely cover up my showing that I do have some confusion that no one else can answer and problems no one else can fix except me. On the inside of my mask I have some seashells with different shades brown and white from Italy which represent my happiness and calmness, like the ocean breeze. The beads decorated throughout my mask show I can be sensitive but at the same time have a perk of spontaneous and funniness which shines beyond my layers of skin. Some black beads put at the bottom of my mask represent a border of insecurity and defensiveness. The last thing I put on my mask is a pendent which represent my shadow of unknown knowledge I have yet to seek through my life time.

"child of the West"

Hey guys,
Today in my blog post I'm going to be talking about if I identify as a "child of the West". I don't identify as a "child of a West" because to mean it means like a cowboy, the west, ranches and farms. "child of the West" to me also means country music, western folks, and people with western Texas accents. I identify as a eastern child because for mean eastern child means the beach, sun, warmth and ocean, which is what I identify as.

hey guys,
What would you like to be remembered for? What would you want to teach your grandchildren?
75 years from now I would want my grandchildren to know that they should never give up on their dreams, no matter how hard it may seem to achieve it. Also I would want my grandchildren to remember that no one can take who they are away from them, be yourself. Life is an adventure, its amazing and short. So dive in head first and take risks. You only have one chance, so don't be afraid.
