Abel & Laura RodriguezWho feels great after a long nap and who feels terrible after crying,

I hate crying.I like elephants, funny people, and I like the idea that I'm still

living.I fear getting one of my parents mad, getting stuck in the middle

of a ride upside down, and seeing somebody that’s important to me die.

Who would like to see a beautiful sunset at the beach, who would like to see all the wonderful wonders of the world, and who would like to see lanterns rise to the starry beautiful night.

A Case That Suits MeMy suitcase: a pink suitcase with light pink polka dots. I want

to make sure all the contains stay in the suitcase, will not be ruined and will stay in place.

Items Inside the Suitcase:

Book-to fill my curiosity and to increase my vocabulary.

Camera- to take multiple pictures of a great vacation, trip, anything exciting that can keep me satisfied. Yet to remember all those wonderful times..

Duct Tape-someone who holds things together, but sometimes tears.

Three Doors1. An opportunity- this door is a hardwood

brown sort of color with a very nice golden knob. Behind this door an opportunity to go to an university with great culinary arts class and a great marine biology class as well.

2. A challenge- this door is open all you can see inside is pitch black. Behind that door lies a challenge to skydive. This will see if I have courage to do anything I want with no fear.

3. A reward- this door is golden and not locked. Behind this door is 1,000,000,000 dollars and a 2013 Escalate from Cadillac.

Rules to Live ByAs I continue my life, I am going to live by three rules. These

three rules will be my focus for making me a better person. One of the rules that would help me become a great person

would be to not lie because of course lying is bad and you should always be honest no matter what.

Another rule that would help me as well would be to treat others like you want to be treated. This a very important rule because nobody wants to be treated bad on the contrary you want to be treated in a good way, and to be treated nicely you have to do treat them nicely as well.

The last rule would be very respectful no matter what. Being respectful is a very good trait that every human living I this world should have, we might not use that trait constantly. But I will because it would be a rule to live by.

Those three rules that I chose would hopefully make me a great person.

Seasons I am Summer, confident in my education,

completing things with a smile on my face. I am Autumn, ready to begin a new chapter in

my life, new school, new everything. I am Winter, worried of my beginnings, hoping

everything will be fine although there are so many problems.

I am Spring, with a complete smile on my face, so bright everything is perfect.

I am all the seasons; Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring. But most of all I am either summer or autumn.

Breaking the Routine A typical routine of mine

consists of waking up, snoozing, getting up, getting ready(brushing hair, teeth, changing clothing, etc.), eating breakfast, heading to school, working, get home, procrastinate, do homework, procrastinate again, take a shower, go to bed.

A few changes I’d make: stop procrastinating, go

to bed earlier, and wake up earlier.

A few habits of mine: biting my nails, touching my hair consistently, messing up my bedroom.

A few changes I’d make: stop making messes in bedroom, hair gets greasy once touching it, stop! And somehow find a way to stop biting your nails.
