I have been alive for 12 years now and I obviously have changed or have I? no I have changed when I was 3 I used to think there was life on all the planets and how I would go up there someday well I soon found out that we didn't even know if there was even life out there in universe so yeah that was a disappointment so instead of looking toward the stars I focused on something almost everyone knows about DINOSAURS. Yeah little me was obsessed with dinosaurs I would spend my days saying what dinosaur I would be if I was one I would be a velociraptor oh you can guess how awwed I was when Jurrasic world came out oh boy I was obsessed I could not stop bothering my parents about going to the movies to go watch it eventually we did go watch it and that was the best time of my life I still remember my excitement when I sat down and the lights dimmed after that I grew up and time passed and then we got here.

if i was to let someone about my culture i would tell them that our culture is really kind to people who are just getting into our culture we also are kind to people in need that is how i would describe my culture.

# data[].attributes.body
I speak Spanish not only at home and with other families but at school since most of my friends are Spanish so I feel comfortable speaking my language around them. I feel more comfortable speaking Spanish because it is my native language it is also the language I know the most about

Some of the pros in my language are that we can get more pay in some jobs because we are bilingual which does give me more opportunities some cons are that people can be racist and assume stereotypes which gives depression to some people but having a culture and language to care about is more important to me than any of that.

I have been at Pinnacle since kindergarten and have just climbed up until now. I have been involved in sports quite a bit for 2 years I played baseball then I started to get more into soccer I have also been interested in engineering since I was 6. My favorite thing that has happened in school is when my whole classroom in 2nd grade was united against one kid who would bully people. My favorite teacher has to be my 5th-grade teacher ms. ross she would push to our limit and make us do better but she was chill and overall that was a great experience being in her classroom.

we have something called lent, a 40-day period where we don't eat meat and pray a lot. I know we are respectful of other cultures our culture is a decedent of the Mayans.

I celebrate Christmas, easter, lent, and thanksgiving
on Christmas we spend time with family and choose one gift to open at 12 we then go to sleep and open the rest of the Christmas presents. On easter, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ after we go to church we go to the park and have a picnic. On lent we spend 40 days praying either 40 days before Christmas or 40 days before easter when the final day comes we go to church and after we leave the church we celebrate. On Thanksgiving, we have a huge family dinner and spend a good time with family.

different things we might celebrate from other cultures

what i like

# data[].attributes.body
1. Losing an unborn sibling yeah that affected me a lot I was in a depression for almost a year my friends helped me get through it and this taught me that pain isn't forever

2. The birth of my baby brother was the greatest thing to happen to me I learned that no matter how down you may be life is full of surprises my brother is now 4 and about to be 5

3. Moving houses yes this is important when I moved I lost friends and everything I ever knew but I learned sometimes you have to move on.

4. Going to Mexico for the first time it was a great experience but it was tough being so far away from my family and home it thought me that all good things come at a price

5. Being the first speaker at the 5th-grade continuation let me tell you that was scary I had to say it in Spanish and I only had a month to prepare I was scared I was going to mess something up but in the end, I made families cry of joy and I learned sometimes things aren't as bad as they seem.

6. riding my bike for the first time yes it might be stupid but it taught me preserving can solve the problem in more ways than you think.

7. Getting all advanced classes was a big moment for me it proved that hard work really does pay off.

8. Having a skin condition called eczema which means going outside in the summer is dangerous because I can get dry skin and skin can be very sensitive this has taught me that matter the problems keep going.

9. spraining my wrist while playing soccer yeah I had to spend 2 weeks with wrist problems but I came to practice and the games no matter how much it hurt me to go this taught me to never give up.

10. playing soccer for the first time when I started playing I knew nothing this taught me that mistakes happen to encourage improvement.
