All I want for Christmas

I think that when I was little what I wanted for Christmas really changed form year to year but now as I've gotten older I think the one thing I really want for Christmas is not any material thing but instead what I want is to be able to go and spend my Christmas in Mexico. This year I'm really worried I might not be able to get what I want for Christmas because my parents don't want to go to Mexico because it is getting really dangerous down there. The situation really does scare but it is my country and I love being down there even if it's dangerous. But then if we do stay to spend Christmas here we will probably be going to Chicago to spend sometime with my aunts and uncles that I have up there I'm sure it will fun either way but never the same as if I was in Mexico. But I still haven't let my hopes down cause I now many things can change between now and then.

VITA Breakfast!!

So this morning I attended the welcome Breakfast for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance(VITA). It was really cool. Well at first I felt kind off out of place because most people there were mostly old. But then some of them introduced themselves to me I felt more comfortable and started to get exited as the first speaker began to talk. Then as they were explaining more about the program I realized that I had made the right decision when I signed up to volunteer in this program. At first I signed up just because I thought the experience I gained from it would help me in what I want to do after I graduate. As of now I am even more sure that it will definitely help me tons in the future. But what got me most exited was all the stories they told about all the people they have helped and how rewarding the feeling of their thanks is, that really made glad I was in for the adventure. Then this coordinator comes sit by and just confirms that I will never regret this experience and all just makes me the more anxious. Also something very important and that caught my attention form the program is the fact that they are setting up a new sight at the St.Joseph and Paul Catholic Church which is the one I go to. and this site is specially being put up for the Hispanic community, and I'm really glad about this because I will be able to help those who don't know English and I'll be able to help them out with everything I can not only with filling their taxes but also I will be there to translate for them which is something I really enjoy. So I'm really looking forward to the training on January 8th and then to all the actual days we will be filling taxes!!

beautiful planet

Every day when I look up at the sky I take a deep breath and just think how wonderful nature is, but more than that I think on how great God has been to us all for giving us such treasures. This world is full of a beauty our kids might not be able to see, and they might not be able to see it because of how we are miss treating it right now. It is a shame that most of us just take it for granted. Sometimes even I myself do stupid stuff like littering or something like that and hurt it, but it is at those moments when I look at the sky and get that feeling of greatness that I realize the wrong things I have done to the world around me. So now I do try as hard as I can to be as e-friendly as possible because I really do want for my children to be able to enjoy the beauty of this world.

Running out of time...

So once again this time of the year as come where everyone is getting all excited about the holidays and traditional celebrations. And as the first one we have Thanksgiving which will be happening a week from today. I am anxious about it because my dad gets to come home and spend time with us, I really enjoy that. Even tough because I come from a different culture we don’t celebrate this day as most Americans. We do the whole big dinner thing but with food traditional to us. And the only reason we do have a big dinner and a family gathering is because the culture of the country we are living in as had influence upon us. Then on the next morning we get the “Black Friday” craze and go off shopping that’s my favorite part! I can’t wait till then. And then after that the days go by so fast that next thing you know is that Christmas is already here!

Cup of Hot Chocolate

I've never really thought of making any kind of comparison close to this one but now that I've heard of it I think it is very true... In our society today we let ourselves be guided by the superficial way of things we just care about what others will think and really see what we want or need.. because most of the time what we need and want to be happy is not what we are striving for but we don't realize it at the moment because we are too blind to see the things that really are important to us and to our happiness... But then I again I do realize that is easier said than done because I my self life something close to this situation but I think the 1st step towards overcoming it its realizing the reality of things and accepting that we are living wrong.

Banking for happiness?

I know that happiness is something we all wish we always had but sometimes we are put into situations that do not allow us to do so...But I do think that it all depends on the person because if the are willing to do see life with a positive outlook taking everything in a positive way even tough this is not as easy to do as it is to say it can be done. But most of us wont put it in to action until we suffer soo much that we give up on everything and just try to make the best out of it from that day on.

long time agoo

So omg it's been for ever since I've made a blog it feels kind off weird, but at the same I'm happy to be back to my old routine.So I'll start off talking about the subject that makes me happier than anything else and that is Mexico! Well this year I was lucky to be able to stay for 5 months in which I had loads of fun! I got a chance to be with my family longer, specially with my baby cousin who is who I miss the most since I got used to her because she was living in my house... I also really enjoyed my time down there because I got to go to school and that was the best experience ever, I miss it and I wish I could go back since it felt like home something I had not felt in a long time at school. I think i loved it because of the activities they had going on in the time i got to be there we had the Mexican Independence day parade which was awesome and all kinds of trips and things to do.. It sucks to think about all the things I'm going to miss out on.But oh well my life is over here and there is nothing I can do to change that... know I cant wait to go back again and visit my family and friends again
