So far, I’ve enjoyed my experiences writing short stories. I have been a way to entertain myself, and a way to express my feeling. The opportunity to tell my stories using a 3rd person was amazing because I was able to speak like a real narrator. I really enjoy the process of writing a short story, getting critiques from my classmates had helped me a lot. In general, I don’t really like fiction because I don’t feel creative when I am writing but this time I am really impressed with what have I done.

My current home setting is very calm and quiet. Nobody is working anymore, my parents are home with me and my older sister. There are days that my dad planned activities to do, like Friday movie night, and Saturdays we do games. We are trying to keep our minds busy, the days we don’t have online classes. My mom is a little worried about the situation because she is the one who watches Tv the most, so there is a lot in the news that we don’t even know if it is true. My daily routine has changed, now I wake up earlier, try to exercise a bit at home and help my mom more than usual. For me this online setting its terrible with my other classes, my professors are old so I’m pretty sure they are not the best with technology. But I understand and I am trying to keep it up.

The most embarrassing moment of my childhood was when I was 8 years old. On a Sunday morning, my parents go to church and I used stayed with my older sister. I remember as little of my entertainment activity was jump and run all around the house and wait for my sister to run after me. Every morning, before my mother left the house, she used to write down in a piece of paper my Do list. For my older sister, she already knew what to do, such as cleaning and fixing our room. But for me, it was just showering, be ready and eat. That morning my mother came home early from church with two other friends. I always liked y mother’s bathroom I don’t know why. I remember because I knew that nobody but my sister were home, I came out of the bathroom naked that day, I was walking when I heard my mom’s voice saying Linny cover yourself and her friends were laughing. I ran as faster I could to my room crying because they saw me without clothes. That was embarrassed that even now they still talked about that moment.

1. The world has extremely changed, such as weather changes, natural disasters, widespread diseases and deterioration of the government as a whole, wars, and more. But there’s one person who can make all these changes STOP. The questions are: Why is this person different from any other in the world? How can this person be the change?
2. There’s a 21-year-old girl, whose life has changed after having her heart broken by two guys. She doesn’t believe in love until an unexpected turn happened in her life that made her whole world change, after meeting this guy who was different from any other guy she has ever met. She ended up having a fairy tale ending with someone who she’ll never forget.
3. This is a story of two little girls who grew up in two different worlds, one in a rich lifestyle and one in a poor lifestyle, but luckily a life-changing turn happened where they ended up going to the same high school, where they became Best friends, but after a while, they realized they were meant to be together.

When it comes to write memoirs, I am not the best at them but I feel like they are the easiest to write about. Memoirs are a method to capture powerful emotions and feeling about something or someone in life. This is the best way to connect ideas, to tell your story or to give a message. For the past few weeks I have been very excited to write memories, in this class I can write stories what were probably forgotten at one time. On the last two memories I brought up personal stories that have shaped and impacted my life in some way. I have enjoyed this time because in writing this two pieces I have felt honest and open about the story I am telling. Writing memories for me is like remembering that moment already lived.

The only time I have felt anonymous was when my older sister and my mother had their big fight and I had to be in the room with them arguing for at least two hours. My older sister and my mother would fight because my sister would arrive late at home like at two in the morning or sometimes even later. I had to become anonymous because I felt that my sister did not had someone to back her up when they were auguring. My dad was always on my mom’s side and I felt that I was not helping by picking a sides. However, After a while my sister understood the pain she caused and stoped coming home late and the fights would stop. Now we don’t have more fight at home, there are always some moments but we always find solution to them. I really love my family and I love how strong our bond is.

I moved to New York in 2013, this is when I started my first year of High school. I did not know anybody from this school but I did know someone who my parents told me that she was my cousin in second place. Her name is Daniela. AN AMAZING WOMAN. I met her the first year of High school and we became bestfriend until now. There are significants moments with her which is the reason why this friendship is different from any other relationship throughout my life. If I have to describe my relationship with her in one word I would say “unbreakable”. Yes we do have our moments where we fight but does fights are what make our friendship stronger and better. One of the challenges is our attitude because we both have big attitudes. But during the years we have learned how to control ourselves for us to avoid those fights. I really enjoy my life next to Daniela, she support me with anything and I know she will always be there for me.
