Where wisdom lies...

So I believe that it is true that most wisdom comes from the elder people I have come t this conclusion because I have seen this many times. I have seen coming specially from my grandparents. The best that I've learned form my grandpa is the fact that we have to be able to fight with our struggles and defeat them. He made me realize that trough all his stories of when he was young some of it I can't imagine having gone trough. And knowing that he had to go trough all of that stuff and that he was able to make it just fine until this day just makes me think that am way too dumb when I complain about my life because my struggles do not compare to anything any of my elder siblings had to go trough. so now every time I have something to complain about I try to remember what what I have learned from those that I love and just try to make the best of what I've got.

So once again we missed school yesterday due to a snow day....So probably by the time all of this snow stops to fall we will be making up days till July.. and that really sucks. But anyways today I feel like writing about last weeks visit to the FRIST center in Nashville. Our french class went because they were having a Display of Musee d'Ovre exivition from really famous french painters. I had never been to this kind of museum, and it was something I really liked all of those pieces that I had only seen in magazines or the Internet, having them so close I could almost picture the artist has they were painting. Since I really like art the time we were given to look at the paintings wasn't enough i could have probably stood in front of every painting for an hour admiring the techniques of the artist. Most of those paintings felt really inspiring and I loved having the opportunity to go see them. In the future I plan to go to museums like these more often since i now know that wont get bored.

So as of today our last day of school is schedule to be on May 31st, and that is just depressing to me. That is because I really want to graduate before June, but has I see the weather has been acting up I don't think that will happen. I wish all this snow just left is pretty to look at and I love staying home but I rather be at school in those days and be out and enjoying the beautiful sunny days in the summer and not siting at school. Like last week was a kind off a great week since I only went to school one day! On Monday of course we were off because of Martin Luther King Jr. day and then Tuesday was the only day I came to school since on Wednesday I went on a field trip to Nashville and then as everyone already knows Thursday and Friday were snow days. But hopefully we wont keep on having any more of these days so that we can be off from school no later than May 31st.

So who do I want to be? I believe this is a very good question and every time it has been prompted to me I always come up the same exact response, "I want to be a good example for my sisters and brother and I want to make my parents proud." The reason it has always been clear to me what I want to do is because I have always seen how hard my parents are always trying to give my siblings and me the best and that they want the best for us. And to me the only way i can possible repay them is by making them proud and setting a good example so that my siblings will follow my path. The only thing that I want to be able to be and do in the future and that my parents don't agree with me is the fact that I want to be back in Mexico to live my adulthood and since everything is getting kind off scary like I've mentioned before, my parents really don't want for me to go and live and work down there. But we'll see maybe just because I really want doesn't mean that it will happen. And since i believe everything happens for a reason, if it is in my destiny to stay here in the US for the rest of my life just going down there for vacations I think I will work hard on getting used to it.

Criticism good or bad

Well for me there are different types of criticism some good and some bad.
In my case I am a person who criticises a lot I know that is not a very good action but there is little I can do to help it even tough I don't do it out loud it happens in my head all the time. So when giving it I don't really have a problem with it except that I know that it ain't the right thing to do. But then when given to me there is where I have problems I am not very good at taking it when ever I don't ask for it or specially when it contradicts what I think, this often happens when my parents criticise me, and I just get furious and don't know another way to react to them criticising me. But then when ever I do ask for opinions and they give it to me I don't feel that bad and most of the time even take it in to consideration specially when it comes down to art

VITA training!

So last Saturday was my first tax-preparer volunteer training(VITA training). At first it was kind off awkward because there were only like 8 other people there and all of them were older than 40 with the exception of me.But then the training lady started talking and teaching us all the stuff and I got really into it. Everything seemed really interesting learning all of the tax laws and things. More than being interesting while I was listening to the trainer I was just thinking on how good all if this info would be for me when ever I go into the work force. Then they fed us Papa John's Pizza it had been long since I'd had pizza from there, I really enjoyed it.Then we got to actually work on the software and I really liked it because it is really easy to use and everything is very user-friendly :D Now all I have to do is take the test to be officially certified to prepare tax returns! I am a little nervous about this but I hope it ain't that bad!

christmas break

Like I've already mention before I got to spend my Christmas break in Mexico once again :D
Even tough Christmas Eve itself wasn't all that exiting there were other days that were definitely worth the trouble of traveling down there. And favorite one was the one Saturday we went to the horse races. It is nothing compare to what we have here I'm sure but I'd never been to an event like that one and it was awesome, seeing tons of people that I hadn't seen in along time made my day. Also having the opportunity to hang out with my friends and family made it all the best. That was just my favorite day but all of them were great there is always something to do down there. I guess that's why I like it so much. Anyways I really had to enjoy my time down there since I wont be coming for a long time.

possibilities

For this year i am hopping that lots of good things will happen to me. Yeah I guess everyone is always wishing the same thing but this year is a very important one for me the reasons:

• I'm graduating in May
• I will start college in the fall
• I'm turning 18

this are just some of the things that make me look forward to this year. Some of the things that I hope that happen are:

• I hope to go to Mexico over the summer
• Get a good job
• I really want to make more time to exercise
