Earth Day Project Reflection

Personally, I think that we ended up doing everything perfectly. By seeing other peoples videos, I saw that ours way so much better. We followed all the rules we were supposed to. We kept it straight to the point but still fun. I am happy with the overall ending of the video. I am not scared at all to see what the person who saw the videos put us a s a grade. Neither of us see a reason to change what we did. The only thing that we could probably change is the pictures. Maybe edit them a bit more so they don't seem so boring.Although, it is sad that we could not win. We both thought we would, but that is okay.

Animals Going Extinct

The following essay is my debate toward what I think should done with species extinction. It is a very important subject that must be followed by a lot of people in order to make a change. The worst part of extinction, is that is it is mostly caused by us. This is why it is our turn to fix it. Imagine some big person coming over to your neighborhood and demolishing everything so they can build a bigger house, without mattering that you were there. How would that feel? What will happen when the last species goes extinct? What will we do then when it is too late? This is something we must do now while we have time. It is our turn to play the cards right. Do what should have been done since the beginning.

It is no secret that species of the world are vanishing. Some people seem to not care because they do nothing about it. For now, it might seem stupid or irrelevant, but in the future, when there are no animals and no trees and no life but us, we will start to care. It is called extinction when the last animals of a certain species is completely wiped off the planet. Causes for these extinction can be direct and indirect. Global warming and habitat destruction are some very important causes. Every time we build a house, or a mall, we are taking specie's homes. This is what millions of animal species are going through every day.

It might seem unimportant for some people, but it is not. It is sad to know that there will come a time when we will not have any company with us in the world. What will we do then? Every day species are going extinct. Imagine how polar bears must feel trapped in icebergs that are bound to melt some day, and then die. All of that because of us. We have to start to make a change. People need to realize that the world is not ours, we must share and keep what we have safe. Its not healthy to keep running away form the truth. Lets face it, that is the first step to success. After that, we can figure out how we will deal with the situation. Even though many animals have already been lost, it's not too late yet.

Think back to when the Earth was just being started. Do you think they had planned that a bunch of humans would just come out of nowhere and declare the world theirs? Definitely not, we would not like it if they took our home, so lets not do that to animals. I would like to build a center in which people would bring endangered animals so we could take care of them and breed many many more so they don't disappear from the face of Earth. Animals have the same value as us, and it is not fair that we are destroying their habitats, we need to think of them as parents think of their children, or brothers, our family mainly. that includes the earth we live in, and the people around us. If people start to contribute to this, it will be easy for the world to see a change that could even help out in other ways. It is no secret that global warming is killing the Earth, so why are we letting animals go extinct for our own mistakes.

These reasons are why we should change the selfish way we live now. i can promise that it would be so much better is we start to change now than realize that it is way to late to do so in the future. it obvious we don't have much time left, so this is our chance to change. the world is counting on us for help. If this idea gets spread out through the world, we might be able to make a change. I do realize it is hard to make people change the whole;e way they live in order to help animals, but that is what we need now. Or at least we should make special centers around the world in order to help preserve what we need to accomplish. The world will not change itself, so how about we start out small, change ourselves first, and then make our way out other people.

Earth Day Project

This activity was very important for us. We are both people who really care about the environment and like to express how beautiful we think it is. Not all people feel this way about the planet, so we want people to think differently, and learn to give thanks to nature for our planet. We did encounter a few problems throughout the whole experience. The fact that we waited to the last day, was a big problem. Although, we had to choice, since Debora was on a trip. Still, we found the way to make it end up perfectly. The photos were taken all by us in different periods of time. We even recited a short poem about mother Earth. and even make a crazy video of ourselves. I really hope we win, because we put a lot of effort to it. The music also fits perfectly with the slide show since the lyrics even match the situation.. This was a lot of fun to do, and I hope we get the chance to do this again.

Spring Break 2O1O


This spring break was amazing, everything I thought it would be. It all started when my mom my brother and I decided to give my grandparents a surprise visit. It was a long way there, but it was all worth it. Before we went to their house we stopped to do a little bit of shopping in San Diego. Next, it was off to their house. For that whole week we went to the movies, did a little bit more shopping, eat out, and get lots of ice cream. While I was with my grandparents, my grandma saw that I could be a good candidate to paint, since it was something she would do when she was young. So she got out a lot of her old oil paints, I started to paint randomly since she would not tell me what to do. All she told me was to paint an apple that showed contrast. Once I was done, I was actually pretty happy with my work, and so was everybody else, so my mom took me shopping to but all sort of tools I needed in order to paint. Including all of my grandma’s paint she gave to me. Now I really like painting with oil. It is sort of like a therapy, and thanks to my grandmas vision to think I could paint, now I do it all the time. That was also what I did when I couldn’t find anything else to do.

Before I went to visit my grandparents I bought a new series that a close friend had recommended for me, it was Gossip Girl. That was another thing I would do when I was bored. I ended up loving the series. It was all I expected it to be. Now I am waiting to buy the second season and get going. I had an amazing time. That is, until Saturday. We were all settling down to have lunch, when all of a sudden my whole family runs out the door to the patio. I had no idea what was going on and just stayed in place. My mom then violently screamed for me to go outside. The second I stepped on to the grass I felt as if the floor would rip open. Never in my life had I been in a earthquake, let alone one of 7.4 on a Richter scale. It lasted about 50 seconds, which seemed more like an hour. My whole family was very scared, but to be honest, I was not that scared. It was more like weird. The feeling was like something I had never felt. I was practically loosing my balance. I could see all around the neighborhood as all of the people would run screaming from their houses into their cars. Once the nightmare was over, we thought it would all end. That was obviously not the case. There were estimated more than 600 aftershocks, but we only felt about 8 of them.

That whole next week as we traveled on the car, we could see some serious damage that stores and houses had. The ones with the most damage were definitely the Oxxos. We could easily see how badly prepared they were. It was as if they were mad of pure paper. When we tried to go shopping, everything was closed. It was kind of sad because my brother wanted to do his shopping but his favorite stores were mostly closed. Most things were closed the next few days. It was a different to have a new experience like this one, but not when it affects so much people. To our house, it didn’t do that much damage, but to the houses of the poor people it did. Now they have to sleep outside in tents because their houses are completely destructed.

After all of that fun, it was time to go back to Puerto Vallarta. Once we got here, my parents took us to eat tacos. They were delicious like always. It was getting late and I really wanted to get home to unpack all of my many things. There were many things to unpack, so it did take me a really long time, but once I was done, I felt more in place. The next day my mom, some friends, and I went down to the pool for a little while. We talked a lot about our spring break since today was our last day of it. I personally would have wanted to have one week more, but that was not the case. Now I can’t wait for next years Spring Break to do all the things I couldn’t do in this Spring Break, and please with no more earthquakes.
