"When one door closes another door opens"

           The book "Skinny" is written by Donna Cooner. Skinny is a mean and cruel voice that is inside a teenage girl named Ever. Skinny tells Ever what people think about her and makes sure that she know's no one will ever love her. But the thing is Ever weighs over three hundred pounds. Ever's voice is strong and beautiful. But she and no one can see that because Skinny has made sure her voice stayed silent. Ever decides to go ahead and get weight lose surgery also it called gastric bypass surgery. Will ever be able to lose weight with Skinny around ?

           I really enjoyed reading this book. I'm not the skinniest person so at times I feel the same way Ever does. I often feel judge by the way I look and how my body is. Which is partly why I don't like speaking in front of my classmates. What I really liked about the book was that it has a Cinderella twist to it. But in this story Cinderella does make it to the ball and the stepsister and stepmother aren't so evil.This one of my favorite books now also.

                                                        

"Paper has more patience than people"

        The non-fiction book I read this quarter was "The Diary of Anne Frank". The diary is about how her and her Jewish family went into hiding during World War Two. They use to call their hiding place the "Secret Annex".Along with the Frank family there were the Van Daan's. Mr and Mrs Van Daan and their son Peter joined the Franks and then later on came Mr.Dussel. The diary was basically about how she lived in hiding and everything that was going on in World War Two.Each diary entry is fulled with so many emotion that keeps making you want to read.But the real question is will she get caught and be sent to the concentration camps?
         I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved that it had a little romance and how it always had me on my feet. But I really liked knowing she was our age not to mention a teenage girl. She understand what we're all feeling or what some girls feel or go throw. Like want a boyfriend or wanting to fall in love. But I also enjoy reading about things that have to do with World War Two. Although it is a sad topic it's so interesting. It's also a first hand testimony on what happened during World War Two and how every one was feeling and the struggle. This book will forever be one of my favorite books.

                                                               

No One's Perfect

I wouldn't say I have a lot of things I regret. Partially because once you do something no matter how much you regret it you can't take it back well at least that's how I think of it. I hardly regret things not telling that one guy my true feelings because that's not something so dramatic although in some cases it is really important. I regret not taking every opportunity that I have. In my head I think "eh not taking once chance won't hurt" but then later on I regret not taking it. Although some of those opportunities aren't the best but we learn from out mistakes. Which is why I don't have many regrets because every decision teaches me something. Obviously if I could go back and take all the opportunities I've had I would take the chance and done them.But maybe I have to develop not to be shy and scared which is completely fine.Just have to break out of my shell.

What do you regret?


                                                              

Como La Flor!

The person I pick is Selena Quintanilla Perez to spend the day with and meet in person. Although she is dead already. The day she died was March 31, 1995 at age 23.Unfortunately she was maliciously murder by a woman named Yolanda Saldívar. Although her legacy is still around today. She was such an inspiring woman and such an important person it the Hispanic/Mexican culture. I think on question I would ask her is how did her fathers reaction to her relationship with Chris Perez? He was a member of the band he was the lead guitarist. Not only that because of her parents rejection of him they has eloped. That was something so brave she had done because she loved him even with knowing this could end the group Selena y Los Dino's. Imperviously her father had threatened her to break up the group if she kept seeing him. Not only that she inspired so many people she started a fashion tread I believe she had a clothing line too. So many people look up to her and that goes even up to today's day.Her music is still playing they even recently brought out a line of Selena lip sticks. Truth to be told her fans will never let her legacy die she's dead now but forever in our hearts will be alive.

Starting A New Journey

The commercial I choose from the Super Bowl 2017 was the 84 Lumber commercial.I really don't have a reason why I choose this one but this commercial shows something that has to do with immigration and that's a very important topic to me.Being a descendant from two immigrants is something I'm very proud of and always will be.I think that the purpose of this commercial was to inspire people to start a new journey.But then I asked myself what does this have to do with wood?I think that will all this political things going on it was pointed directly at all the issues going on with immigrants.Which I think is prefect timing with the new President coming into office and his plans that he has for immigrants.I still find myself asking what does this have to do with wood?Then I thought that maybe the company wants to inspire people to start there own journey's .

Put Your Happiness First

The best advice I've received was by a teacher.I was going through a rough time and I just need to take with someone.At the time the teacher suggested I see the consular for more help.But I really do have trust issues with everyone I only trust certain people as any other person would.But this teacher is different she's not like a really uptight teacher she's pretty cool and I've known her since 5th grade.The advice she gave me was to put my happiness first before anyone else's. I've actually told that to my sister when she wanted to get married at age of 19.I'm one of those people who always thinks about others before myself that includes feeling and everything else. I've just always been that way with everyone.But I guess when she told me that I realize not for everything I need to put everyone else before me.It's okay to be a little selfish at times as long as your happy that's all that matters.
