Weather

#1
The weather usually change without any noticing, you can be playing in the park or backyard and suddenly starts to rain or comes a lot of winter. Another case are the storms, they can be only very strong wind or can come with a very strong rain. The weather in Guatemala these days have changed a lot because of storms and other facts, because one day could be with sun and in a high temperature and other days is very rainy. In Guatemala the weather is always changing very quickly, because some days I want to go out and play and is raining or with strong winds and if I play I can get wet and sick or I can get could and start to get tired much easier, and other days I can’t play because there’s too hot that I get tired too quickly because the sun is causing me to sweat. One day I went to the beach and I can remember that was a perfect day, was sunny but not too hot, the weather was perfect, with that weather all people can go to the beach and not have problem of getting burn, all at the day at the beach was like that. At night it was getting cold, to a point that no one want to get out of the hotel,  and suddenly it start raining, very strong. I was getting mad because of how could it rain in such a perfect day, I was sad because the weather change suddenly, all the other day was raining, no one on the hotel could get to the pool because it was close and the ocean was with strong waves and dangerous, for me was a surprise not only that the weather change, but how could it change from like an hour to another in a tropical place. A the next day the rain was gone but when I went out, I feel like a strange are, of storm, the clouds were gray, and the ocean was still like the day before. I decide just to go to the pool and depending if the ocean change, I can go and swim there. Lunch time came and the weather change again, it was sunny, and with very high temperature, I went a time to the pool and I could feel the water very warm, I decide to get out and go with my brother to the ocean, the ocean was calm I pass the day in the ocean, up you dinner. At dinner suddenly the weather get cold again, it was very strange that the weather was getting crazy. All night was cold. We went back to the city at the next day, and was raining.  Weather always change, can be controlled or can be crazy, no one knows if it would change, and could change in the worst situation for you or in the best, and better to adapt to this weather changes because you have to live with them.

The weather can be changed very quickly and turn crazy if a storm is coming. The tropical places are the most affected ones, because they have the ocean, and if the ocean gets out of its course it can go and flood the entire place, and kill a lot of people. A story I heard from someone was that when she went to live for some days in a tropical island, if a storm come, all the island is evacuated because the ocean flood the entire island for like 2 or three days depending of the magnitude of the storm. She told me that there were people who die because of the storm. Another case I have seen is in the TV news, one that was in Cancun, and that destroys a lot of buildings that were close to the ocean. Who could imagine that the weather can destroy buildings, that’s because is nature, and nature has to be respected. Other are in the islands, like Puerto Rico, were a storm came and with snow covered a lot of big buildings and destroy others. Weather can be studied, but no one can stop it, just to caution people of it.

Completely my error

blog 2: Defeat


#1

The day of quizzes was coming and I was getting prepare. Days pass and the quizzes start. I was in school and was a time of exams. I didn’t study at all for my Spanish class, because I saw it easy. I decide not to study so I could have more time to play, that was an error that makes me suffer the bad consequences. At the day of the quiz I saw all my friends and classmates studding, but I didn’t care.  I went to my class and get prepare for my quiz, at first I was a little nervous because first was the math quiz. When the teacher came she told us to sit separated enough from the others so we couldn’t copy. I start my quiz and for me was easy. After I finish my math quiz the teacher give me time to rest and wait so the other teacher could come with the other quiz, it was my Spanish language quiz. I rest and wait for my next exam. When the teacher come, she gave us her exam, I didn’t know what to answer; I was feeling bad because I didn’t study. When I finish what I could I gave it to my teacher. When all my quizzes were finished I start to receive the my grades, all my exams were very good, like from 80 to 89, except one that was my Spanish language class, I didn’t pass, I got like 45 in my quiz over 100 and I was very disappointed with my own self. I feel defeated by all my classmates and my entire grade because I was the only one who lose the quiz. I was so sad and nervous because I wouldn’t pass that class. I feel like the world was going to end but then I think, if I lose this bimonthly term I can make it and restore that grade in the final bimonthly term. I start to focus and to think positive. I told my parents that I lose one class. I decided not to give up and to find a solution.

I was at a conquest in my condominium were you got to go in groups of 3. I was the leader of my group. I was very happy because I was sure we could win. First it was a quest of searching like a treasure in different parts of the condominium, like searching a map in a trash can or in other places. After that we go and find like a piece of something, like another map. We were making all the fastest we could, and we were fighting with other team for the first place. We were happy because we were doing well, but for me it wasn’t enough. I decide to make all the fastest I can, and if I could all by my own, that was an error I make. My tem was telling me to work in group but I didn’t obey, and I continue to do all by myself. The final event was coming and I was getting tired more and more because of all I was making. The final event was a race were all the team have to participate, was a running in a big part of the condominium. My friends in the team tell me not to continue like that, I get mad because I think they tell me that I would not make a good work so I ignore them and start to make the different activities in a mad way.  I get too tired that when the race comes I was so tired that for my fault we lost. I fell sad because for my fault we lost. The team starts to get mad with me because of not thinking what I was making we lost. I feel madder because they were telling bad words to me that without thinking I punch a teammate. I start to think and go and tell him I was sorry. At that moment I was feeling bad of what I had made. I start to change and start to work in group, letting them make part of the job.

I was a Little kid like of 2 years and I went on my first day at school; at first I was a Little nervous, but when I get to the room, I saw a lot of kids and get very happy and went to play with everyone. I went, my mom at first think I wouldn’t like to stay or to be nervous, but when I see all children playing, I went and start playing. That day I went to know all my classmates, I found a little kid crying named Rodolfo, he was crying because his mom left him there, I tell him that she will return at the time we went back home, I help him to get up and I start to play with him, he become my first friend in the school. When my mom went to take me home my teacher named Carolina tell her that she was surprise, because I went to play no matter with whom, I ask her if we will return and she agree telling me that I will be in school the next day, I say to everyone good bye and I return home. I was so happy that all the rest of the day I was always speaking about the school. It was a great experience to coexist with other children.  All the days I went to school were getting better and better, I get to know a lot of people and knew children that wanted to be my friends.

I was 2 years old and I went to Miami, to Disney World with my parents. I went to the games and to see all the cartoon characters, my favorite was bugs bunny. I was so happy to be there, one of my favorite games was one of some motorcycles, but really I liked all the games and to pass time having fun with my parents. Like two days before we return from our trip, we went to a mall, to buy clothe and some other stuff. I went with my parents to a toy store; I start to look for a toy I would like. I start to look in all the places of the store but nothing, up when I found a teddy of bug’s bunny that I wanted. My mom saw how much it cost and see that was too expensive. She tells me that was too expensive, and I get mad I take it and ran out of the store trying to escape, my dad get me and return the teddy to the store. I was sad because I wanted it. My mom buys me another toy so I get happy. I get happy and we went back to home and I start to play with my new toy. My parents now that I grow up tell me this story and I laugh. With that experience I think I learn that not all things we see can be got.

I was in 6th grade, preparing for my graduation from primary school to pass to secondary grades. I was happy because finally I ended another grade, when suddenly a teacher tells me to go with her; she told me that I was selected for my high grades to be the flag escort. I got so happy of being one of the persons with the highest grades. I prepare for the day. The graduation day came and I was so happy, then the graduation begins, first we entered with the nation flag and then the school flag, then the rest of the students.  The graduation began with a brief summary of the teachers to us, on how happy where they to see us graduating from 6th grade. After like an hour of talking and presenting, the delivery of medals came, for been a good student, of being a lot of years at school, from kidiker, for good grades, and other more. After that came the delivery of diplomas, it was a very long graduation, but after that was very fun because the photos came. First was with the teachers and then with parents, and finally with your classmates. After that I went back home and rest all day long. I was so proud of myself not just for been an escort, but to graduate with honors. I will never forget that experience.
