The blue island

This is a nice, sad and lovably story, it is about a boat where a lot of tourist were, when suddenly a very bad storm start and the sea become brave then boat was hit by a big rock and started liking water in, the water wet the electricity cables these become fire, it destroy the low floor of the boat and people need to abandoned the boat. A explosion separated the tourist and because that families get lost.

Next day when the storm go away and the calm come back, a boy awake close to the border of a island or lake. He felt so lonely, thirsty and sad. He walk looking for water or survivors, he found a lot buries and after three days he finally find a little girl like his age. The girl was scared and sick. The boy felt he should to protect her. He find water and did like a small house. When the girl get better they start to protect each other, they were the best friends and together they learn how to hunt, fish, get water to drink using the big leaves of the plants, how to cook, play and survive on the island.

What I Enjoy About My Neighborhood

I have live in my neighborhood since 2003. It is very quite and calm, when bad neigbors aren't around or close. I have on my right hand house a Cambodians. They are very nice and neighborly. We can't communicate with each other because the language. My neighbors are elderly and can't speak English well, and I don't either but we try to be nice each other. No body lives in my left hand house. A church is in front of my house and a Hispanic family lives behind my house, I don't know my other neighbors. People are busy in this country to meet their neighbors. My family doesn't lives close to my neighborhood.


And other thing I enjoy about my neighborhood is being near to many sites where I like to go, or need to go; like Children's Hospital and clinics, I need to bring my daughter to see her doctor. The libreries, where I come to read, to take English clases and used the computer or borrow movies and books. Groceries stores are also close people go there to buy food these stores are usually close to small malls with beaty shops in case you want have cut hair. A mexican store is near too, I visit it to buy tortillas and mexicans products.


Sometimes there are houses for rent near my house and when those are rented to not nice people my neighboorhood is not nice like it usually is. The last time when bad neighboors came to live there their children broke a lot of my plants, throw garbage in my yard, like cans and plastic bags. They made a lot noise almost all the time, and before they left they broke my windows. I like my neighborhoos besides the bad neighbors. Now they are not near anymore so my neighboorhood is calm and nice again, but for how long?.

MEXICO

I am from the beautiful land of the Aztecas, Mayas
Totonacas, Incas and Chichimecas,
from those great tribes where culture
means more than you can imagine,



From the land of Mariachis, Charros and Tequila.
I am from the good smells of my grandma's kitchen.
From the sharp sound of my grandpa's ax
cutting the old wood, trying to make a fire
to cook the food, and to warm us.




I am from my always busy mother
cleaning our house all the time;
from my strong father working hard
earning money to provide our necessities.




I am from the many noises
of children eating, playing, crying,
from brothers and sisters fighting
for the same toy or for our mother's attention



I am from the country with a lot beauty
nice and magical places to enjoy,
from the country where everything
can be possible or impossible
everything depends on you.

My Little Princess Jaely.

I never gave much attention to children with special needs until my daughter was born. She is a special needs child with down sindrome. She was born premature , was a tiny baby and she weighed only 3 lb 4 onz. She was 30 weeks of gestation at the moment of her birth, she spent three months in NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) on Children's Hospital in St. Paul and when was just four months old she got an open heart surgeory in Fairview at the U of M. Things didn't go well during the surgeory, so she need to be conected to a "Bipass" machine for seven days. After that her heart didn't respond well and for that reason she got a pace maker implanted. She spent her first year running to one hospital to and other. She has had seven surgeries at the moment and she is a very fragil baby.

But she is still so pretty, playful, and nice little princess to me. She smile amost all the time, she throws kisses, can clap, makes gestures when she plays. She is learning sign language and she can say mom, dad, more, play, eat, water and other words. She is adorable, but some times she makes me crazy and when she knows I am mad at her she stars kissing me and smile to me. Maybe she tries to say: 'sorry mamy'. I enjoy everything that she does because she learns slower than other babies of her age because her down sindrome. She is my little princess and I love her a lot. And she loves me.

My House.

I like my house because is nice, warm and welcoming, it have two bedrooms but just one bathroom. Is big so we have lot space in our livinroom, the kitchen is large so I likeit because I have lot space to cook or bake when I need do this. And my house has nice windows they are big so light can come in easly. I have lot of plants inside and outside my house. The yard or garden where I live is big, and it already had plants but I planted more because a love plants. My neighboor always plant vegetables but I do just flowering plants so I always tell him my garden is more prettier then yours, or look my garden is so beautiful, and he responds but I'm going to have lot things to eat and your not. He is a good neighboor. I like my house because all the things I've mention and because it nice place to live in.
