The Many Times I Was Betrayed

A time that I was betrayed so much was when I was four-teen years old. The beginning of the school year had started out great, but like they say…"when you get to high school friendships and people change", and I've seen how true it is. One of my close friends at the time started hanging around other people and we eventually stopped talking. When that happened I was jealous and mad at her but I soon forgot about that. Not long after that happened a new amazing person walked into my life. She has always been there but we never really noticed each other. She's one of the ones that helped me hold myself together… my temporary tourniquet.

They say that everything gets back to you one way or another. Well I had hurt one of my friends by making a huge mistake and it caused her to hate me. It bugged me but I didn't think much of it until someone I really cared for turned against me. Right then and there I felt like I was going to lose everything. It really hurts when you lose a best friend who you have also liked for awhile. Someone whom you have trust and shared your secrets. Someone who was there through the good times and the hard. Lost all because of a stupid misunderstanding. Have you ever wished you could make things better with someone? That's how I felt. What hurt even more is when he betrayed me with two of my friends. He had started to like both of them and would come up to them when they were with me and talk and act like if I wasn't there and never existed.

By now it seemed like things couldn't get any worse, but they almost did. My new almost best friend had started to get close to someone I didn't like. I started to feel like I shouldn't get close to any one just so I could save myself a heart ache. Somehow I held on and we're still the best of friends. Throughout the rest of the school year I got betrayed and hurt but as long as my best friend Janessa was by my side every problem is small and able to overcome.

When someone betrays you it hurts. It makes you feel pain, sadness, anger, and sometimes vengeance… which will never do you any good. An awesome quote by Steven Deitz about betrayal is, “One should rather die than be betrayed. There is no deceit in death. It delivers precisely what it has promised. Betrayal, though ... betrayal is the willful slaughter of hope."

The Twist

My idea for a new episode for Twilight is that after everything was going fine. There problems they thought were far behind them. They were, well for the moment. Since they couldn't send Renesmee to school because she was growing at a alarming rate and the fact that she wasn't a normal child she stayed home so they taught her everything they know.

Jacob came to visit every day and sometimes he would even sleep over. Sam and the rest of the pack were okay with it... well everyone except for Leah. Even though it seemed like she didn't like him she had started to because she had got to get to know him when she joined his pack. She was tired of being by herself and she was also tired of seeing Sam and Emily so happy together while she was there wishing that it could have been her and Sam.

Getting back to Bella and her new family, Edward and Bella couldn't stop thinking and wondering how things were going to work out with Jacob and their daughter. Would the pack and Jacobs father allow it?

Courage and Bravery

One time that I had to be brave was when my dad lost his job and my mom had to start working. I felt like my life was going downhill, falling out of control and going to crash. My dad was going through some issues and when my mom started working it just didn't feel right. When that happened I had a lot of responsibility put on me. I had to start taking care of my younger siblings, do well in school, and try to keep my house in order.

My mom has been working for almost four years now and I'm still trying to get used to it. When the whole thing started I started falling behind in everything. I started failing school, I had problems with my relationships and friendships and I felt like to much was put on my shoulders. I felt like I was supposed to grow up sooner than I expected. I started looking for a thing to cover up the hurt and make it seem like everything was ok, but that only made it worse.

We're barely getting out of this mess and chaos. Picking up the pieces that have fallen and trying to put our life and family back together. I don't feel like I went through it and was left with nothing. In my opinion I think that it’s made me stronger and a better person and I know that since I've overcome that I can overcome anything. "Look at the day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it."

The Time Machine

If I could travel in time I would want to go back to the past. I've always wondered how things were so different back in the late nine-tenth and early twentieth century. I don't know much about my grandfather and great grandfather and I would've liked to have met them.Besides my grandfathers I wouldn't care to meet any one else.
People back then lived a different life then the way that we do now and I'd like to experience it.

My Family History

I don't really know about my family history and traditions, but I do know that my mom's side of my family is Irish, Hispanic, and Native American. On my dad's side there is French, Irish, and Italian. On my mom's side of the family every year on Christmas Eve our tradition is to be the first one to say "Merry Christmas" when you call someone before they do.

Another thing is that my great-grandfather name was Gregorio Lovato and he was born in 1875. He was in World War II. When he came back he became a lawyer and he would go confiscate boot-legers and take their alcoholic beverages. He didn't know where to put them so he kept them at his house. The funny thing is that he ended up doing what they did, but he eventually died of cancer. The only other thing that I know is that my mom's cousin Stevie Quintana is a Ranchera singer. Most of the things I know is about my mom's side of the family.

The Starfish Story

The starfish story has an awesome moral. It can also apply to everyday life because the wisdom teaching is so true. The moral of this story is that even though you know that you can't do it all by yourself, at least you made a difference for the ones you did. For example, he knew that he couldn't save them all, but the ones that he was able to throw back he knew at least helped make a difference for them. Another part of the moral is that you shouldn't think negative about a situation and try to do the best that you can do to help.

The New Colossus

The New Colossus

"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

This poem is sacred to our country. It's an inspiration because it gives people a good feeling about this coming to this country. I say this because a lot of other countries don't allow the freedoms that our country has to offer. When people read or hear this poem it makes them feel welcome.
