Halloween

Halloween is a very cool day, because you can walk with your friends with very cool customs picking up candy in all the houses. Halloween is a day of scaring things like; witches, ghost, Dracula's, and more scary things. The people who do this are the children they love to drees up and take Candy. The boys always dress up of a monster, or like superhero, the girls always dress up of princess or angels. Halloween also have their advantages and disadvantages. These day is a day where you can have a lot of excitement.

ADVANTAGES:

Some advantages that Halloween have is that families and children can have a good time picking candy together and singing. Also dressing up is very cool because children and parents make customs with a lot of creativity. Halloween is a day were all people get excited. In the school people decorate their doors, the make dances and plays. They make competitions. In these day people express a lot of there creativity. Also in school they make hunted house which is a close place, that people enters and people that are inside start scaring you and people start yelling out and they scares you a lot.

DISADVANTAGES:

Some disadvantages are that people start doing bad things they take advantages that they have a mask on. Also some children doesn't obey there parents because they want to go running were there friends are or because they want to go running to the other houses to get the candy, so some parents cannot do this and the children then it can loose, something bad can happen. In Halloween thief and bad people take advantages and get there children they can be keepnick, because the children are more easier to convince that person can get the children and to something inappropriate and go to the house of the children and take all. Halloween in here in Cartagena and I think is not only here is mostly in everywhere it is danger especially to children because they are bad people that are doing bad things in these day so cool. Halloween it became a danger day know parents are worry when these day comes because they cannot take it like a cool day. Halloween is losing that excitement.

Finally I think that Halloween is a very cool day!

The Party Surprise

Ring, Ring Ring, the alarm rang and wake me up, I was very tired and I didn't want to go to the school, I want to stay in bed all day, but the only reason why I want to go is that I'm going to see my friends, and the most cool because today was my birthday!! Then I get out of my bed and take a very fast bath, and then I put my uniform on. Then I went to the kitchen and take my favorite breakfast that is, pancakes, toast, eggs, milo, butter, and jam. My parents said me happy birthday and then I go to school, and I was impatiently to get there.

When I get to school, the only one that I see on the hall was on my friend called Jane, she is a very sweet person, and calm, she have blue eyes, long hair and blond, she is not so tall, but she is very beautiful. When I get to there she was on her locker, my locker is beside her. Then I say hello to her but she ignored me completely. I try again, but she looks me with a bad face. I was surprised I didn't now what was happening. Then I try again for the last time and I said"if you want to say me hello you don't have to do it, but the only thing that I want that you tell me is in where are Andrea and Kate, please tell me", because I know that they would tell me why Jane is like that with me. Then Jane said me " Andrea and Kate haven't come to the school". Then she close her locker and go away. I stay there for a moment thinking what was happening.

The bell rings and I get my books out of the locker. I went all through the hallway, trying to go fast to my classroom, and I was looking if Andrea and Kate were there but I didn't see anyone in the hallway, the only one that was there was me running. When I get to the classroom I was the only one missing on the class, everybody was looking to me I was very shy, the class was very silent you can't hear a sound, there were hundreds of eyes seen to me. My teacher comes toward to me and said me "SIT!!". Then very fast I close the door, I was "scared", and I sit very fast. People was laughing, and I start getting angry.

The class of Literature start, it was very boring like always and I didn't understand nothing. On that moment I couldn't talk with Andrea and Kate because then Ms. Thompson, punish me and I don't want that on my birthday. I was confuse because when the class start my friends ignored me has I was not there and my classmate did it to, anyone there tell me happy birthday and anybody talks me. When the class finish it was recess then I said that these was the moment to talk with my friends. I was thinking that this was my worst birthday that I have!! Then I went again through the hallway, trying to find my friends. I went to the cafeteria, and I found them sitting in a table talking of something with a piece of paper writing all together. At first I was not decide it if I go or not, Then I try to go but when I was walking I stop, and I get back and I said to me " I can not do these" so I go, but then I think why I am going if I haven't do nothing bad in here is confusion and I have to fix this.

So I went there, when Andrea saw me that I was walking towards them, Andrea puts very nervous like if they have saw a ghost. So then Andrea take the piece of paper and grabbed on and make it like a ball and hided, then she tells to Kate and Jane to stop what they where doing and be careful because I was coming to them, then the three saw me and put very nervous, I was putting nervous to. They try to go away but they couldn't because in that moment I was there. I told her" I need to talk with you"they ignored me again I was getting very mad " please tell me what is happening" they try to look to my face but the couldn't. I was putting red like a big tomato and then I said " you three are very STUPID INMATURE girls I am trying to talk with you in a good way but you don't let me another choice that yell out for you can listen to me! There faces were very surprised. When I finish yelling all was very silent and all the people that where on the cafeteria where looking at me all their eyes was on me anybody move everyone was surprised I think that the people was thinking that I was completely CRAZY!

Then Andrea said me "the only thing I cant tell you is that don't worry", "yeah don't worry live these in our hands" said Kate. Then they go, and I stay there for a moment thinking what was they trying to tell me but I was more confuse. Then I go and the bell rang I went to my locker very fast and take my books for the next class that is Science I was very late. My locker was very far from the classroom of Science, I say " completely these is my worst day!" When I was running all my books fall and I have to stop and get the books from the floor, I was late. I start walking not so fast because I was already late so I didn't care about it so much.

When I get to the classroom it was lock, I was very tired and I start to cry, then the janitor told me that we would have science class on the lab that means that I have to walk more but I didn't want to. I know that I have to go so I start walking and walking, I think that these huge hallway would never finish. Finally when I get to the classroom and I enter the lights where off. The I close the door and I said " don't tell me that these is not the class" I say to myself. The lights when over and it was all my friends and teachers and people from the school that makes me a PARTY SURPRISE for me In was very happy I couldn't believe it. Everybody sing happy birthday and my best friends give me a big hug and I tell them sorry for saying that they are stupid immature and they say me that that is OK. Finally we finish with a great day with my family and my best friend.

The majority of these food are healthy food, and it doesn't increase your weight. Arabic food have very weird name like: Quibble, Tabbouleh, Tajine, and other names that are very strange. Arabic food is common in Cartagena, because Arabic culture is basically introduced by it's food. In Cartagena their are many people that have Arabic culture, in here in Cartagena a know a lot of people that Arabic culture and I am one of that people.

Also I love when we decorate the (2) big, beautiful, and colorful Christmas tree. Having Christmas with my family is the best thing but these time my family wasn't complete.

One day my sister wake up wit horrible allergy on her skin, it looks like a lot of mosquitoes bite her, it looks like huge maps on all her skin. These happen the last year after Christmas my sister have a lot of time with that allergy. When we were going to buy all the gift we have to go by(3) car, bus and on foot. When 24 of December came we where (4) excited, but we were worried because we haven't buy the gifts. (5) Then we were organizing about, in what house we were going to meet. So then we decide that in the house of my aunt, I was very excited, I couldn't wait for night comes very fast.

When night came my sister was very sad because she don't want to came out of the house with all the allergy so she said that she don't want to see any body, that she want to be alone. (6)Waiting for the night, I was buying the gift while my sister was on the house suffering with her allergy.(7)Yes, having an allergy is horrible because I always suffer because of allergy so I understand her. (8)When I was on the door, listened to the decision of my sister. (4)My sister said no, because she feel very bad. So then my mom called to my other aunt that was going to, and tell her the problem, so my aunt pick me up with my little brother and my mother says that do not worry because she would came like in 20 minutes to the house of my aunt. Then I do not worry and I went with my aunt when it was like 9:30 P.M. my mother called to us and say to the family that my sister was on the hospital because of the allergy because she have a lot and her pressure goes down was very worried about my sister and my parents, then they say that they would come after 12:oo A.M.

My Sister and my Little brother


On my life I make a lot of mistakes. When I have a problem I frustrated and I stressed, but then I try to calm down and try to solve the problem in other way. Sometimes when I have a problem most of the time I try to solve it inappropriate way that is not correct, and I am trying to stop these bad habit, because when I always used these habit my problems get worse and the one that loose that is me. The things that I used in these bad habit is starting to cry an being a pain for the other people, and especially when I have a problem I always try to be ordinary and I am trying to get rid of these. Sometimes I use different strategies to solve my problems I take different decisions because when I am under pressure I cannot think about my strategies when I am reflecting. When I am under pressure I always try to take the best decision for then the consequence would be so hard.

One day I came from school very tired, that the first thing that I want to do was to go to the room of my parents and watch television in there. That day was a very hard day for me, and I was happy because I wasn't going to have my big sister and my little brother on there, so that means that I have all the T.V. for me! Many people fight with there sister or there brothers for only to have the T.V., so these always happened to me because on my house there is a on the den and one on my parents room, and I always say that I want a T.V. for my room but my parents said no because they think that having a T.V. on our rooms is dangerous for our health. So that day my sister and my little brother come and I tell them that do not take the T.V. because I was there, so then I say that I was going to the kitchen to get something to eat and when I came from the kitchen my sister take the T.V. and I say to give me the control remote but she want too, so I start fighting with her and I insult her and I give a lot of warnings, and she think that if she is older she can have control over me. My mistake was that I dont takr the best decision, and the decision that I have to take was to stop fighting and go to the other T.V. but their is not so cool to go to that T.V. because is a little incommfort, but I doesnt care about that, so in that moment that I was fighting I think that I have to be more intelligent that her, because in that moment I was acting like a little girl of five years old so then I left her the T.V. and I go to the other T.V. and the problem finish and then my mother came and she want to see T.V. in her room so my sister was get out of there and my problems finish and the one who loose was my sister.

My mistake was to not being more intelligent at first, when we start to fight I was trying to get the T.V. for me. Then I fix these problem by being more intelligent and going to the other T.V. and like taht the problem finish. On conclusion when you have a problem you always try to be more intelligent that the other person.
