When I went to Mexico, I decided to try something new and eat crickets. It was nasty. My whole life I’ve been paranoid about crickets, everytime I see one really close to me. I start yelling everyone thinks I’m faking it but In reality I’m not. My dad thought I was faking it when I said I was allergic to fish, and he forced me to eat it. Eventually, I decided to eat all the chicken nuggets and when my nephew asked my mother for them, she said I ate them all. He cried so I now call him “chicken nugget boy.”]]> 2018-02-15 15:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231941230 Dance Lovers https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231942255 In my school we do zumba for fundraising for the community. And I always invent my own steps, because I am too short to see the instructors and everyone thinks I am crazy. I was in a dance practice once and the teacher was making a choreography of Shakira, we were leaning backwards and maybe I leaned a little to far, and fell. Whenever I get invited to a sweet 16 party, I am always the first one to fall. You can say that I have two left feet. One day I was at my aunt's baby shower and all the adults were outside on the backyard, the younger people were inside, and a twerking song started playing, so I danced along, and my Godfather came in and she was shocked, I was really embarrassed, and didn't come outside for the rest of the night. I love my Godfather, I haven't seen him in a long time, but as long as I can remember, he is the best dancer of the family. He would always carry me to dance and once he was jumping with me in his arms and dropped me.]]> 2018-02-15 15:15:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231942255 S.H.R.E.D. https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231942262 I bought a drink this morning and it fell all over me. I never drank coffee before and don’t care enough to try or start. I drink coffee every morning before going to school. Sometimes I get shakes when I drink too much coffee. I get the shakes every time I speak in public. I’m not good at public speaking at all. I’m growing better at public speaking all the time. But when it comes to speaking in English I’m terrified. The speaker of the house from PRHYLI 2017 kept shutting down people that wanted to speak. I remember in the mock assembly that we kept saying “point of order” or “point of information” which made the speaker of the house very angry.  I’m part of the mock trial team and I’m in front of judges often.  My favorite soccer team is Barcelona, who has the best player in the world. I once was attacked because I didn’t chose between Barcelona or Real Madrid. I rather not talk about soccer, I would much rather talk about Harry Potter all day. 
You’re a wizard Harry!!!

When I was younger me and my friends used to play soccer in the rain. Me and my friends liked to play hide and seek at night. One day I was playing hide and seek with my friend and I never found him , because he went home. One time I wanted to play with my older brother and asked to play hide and seek so I hid under my bed and asked him to find me he didn’t come find me until hours later after playing xbox with his friends. Now that I am older I tell my younger siblings to play hide and seek just to get rid of them. When I was about the age of my siblings and just getting home from school , coming to realize that no one was home, usually my parents were back at this time, my young mind reasoned that the best option would be to break the window with a brick to get in.. I was the youngest sibling till my sister was born. I love her though. Back in my country me and my brother used to hunt iguanas. Animal cruelty makes me cry ,I can’t watch animal planet .]]> 2018-02-15 15:17:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231943869 La Masa Con Queso https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231944595 One time, I got lost in manhattan. Then another time, i got lost in a Mall and i was really scared so i started crying because i couldn’t find my mom and dad. When i was 2 years old, I got scared because a big dog appeared out of nowhere. Then 13 years later, a dog followed me all around my backyard and jumped on my back. When i was five, my family was trying to make a chicken soup so we had run after the chicken but the chicken that i was chasing turn around and started to chase me. One time, my brother was eating chicken and started choking when a bone got stuck in his throat. The same thing happen to me, when I was eating fish. I didn’t eat fish for 6 years. Then also when i was 13, I was eating a raisin and started chocking. And IT CAME OUT OF MY NOSE. ]]> 2018-02-15 15:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231944595 Injury PRO https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231947844 WHAT A TIME!
The past soccer season was the best experience of my life. Our varsity team was league CHAMPS. It was an experience I'll remember forever. Last season I was very into soccer that I trained really hard, the ironic part is that I got a knee injury, so I wasn't able to play most of the important games. In September I was in a soccer game and during that I tore my ACL. I had to get a surgery. When I was 5 years old I got into a car accident and lost the big toe in the right foot, I called it nunuco. Back in September my car flipped on its side, while everyone was worried about me, I was panicking about the car. After a fair there was no ride back home, since the guy who took m e there got drunk, was panicking to walk across the town cemetery at midnight. My friend dared me to go to the cemetery at night and I accepted it. He ended up fainting. I remember playing soccer after school and the field we play is next to a cemetery; One of my friends managed to kick a ball toward the cemetery, but when we went to look for it, it was not there. Sometimes when I go out to lunch I walk through the cemetery and I hate scary things so I always run to try to get past the cemetery quickly. In the summer, I use to run for fun, (1 mile every day- yes I call that fun).

  • Once I got lost at 3 AM in Bogotá. On my first day of school I got lost because I didn’t know the numbers of the room in English. My sister one time got lost in Germany because the subway door closed and she wasn’t on it. Once my mom lost me at the beach for more than three hours only the police found me next to the lifeguard. Working as a lifeguard I once saw these drunk parents looking for their son, they thought he drowned but he was just playing basketball. I don’t like to play basketball because I almost got knocked out one time in gym class. I also can’t play basketball because I’m too short so I can’t reach the basket. I don’t like playing sports because I got my nose broken while playing frisbee. The most involved I am in sports is taking pictures for the school yearbook. Once I got kicked out of somewhere  for taking pictures where it wasnt allowed.

Once my mom made a Maruchan soup and she told me “don’t touch, don’t look at it, go away from it. But I was 5 years old and I was hungry then I tried to reach it but instead it fell on me. Then she appeared from who knows where with the chancla and she said “I told you so”. When I was visiting the United States for the first time by plane, my mom told me not to go to the bathroom because it was our first time on a plane, so I disregarded her orders and went to the bathroom and I got locked in there for 30 minutes until the security came and helped me and I didn’t know English. When I was little this kid sneezed and I didn’t know English very well, so instead of saying bless you I said “less you”. When I started to learn English I sometimes would say “I am hungry” instead of saying “I am angry” and viceaversa. ]]> 2018-02-15 15:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231950938 The Eagles erivaslizama https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231954861  Once upon a time Kathia found a baby squirrel on the ground and kept it as a pet, it was so beautiful that every time in the morning she woke up and the first thing that she saw was her little squirrel. Ivan’s story was similar with Cathia’s because he has a small chihuahua that attacks every animal even though he is so small and knows that he won’t win. Jorge has a very interesting story, it is about his brother. Once his brother was walking on the street, and there was a dog that attacked him. His brother tried to run away from it. But, he falls off from a cliff. Since that time he made sure there was no dog on the street. Marlon has a very sad story, it is about his pet as well as the other. Once he was going to school, and he forgot to lock his door, and his dog followed him all the way to school. When Mairlos was crossing the street, there was a car coming really fast he could dodge it, unfortunately, his dog got hit by the car and he lost his leg. Marlon tried to get him to a vet to save his leg. However, it was too late, because it got infected by bacteria. Edgar has another story it is about three squirrels that he found in his backyard, he took care of them, until once there was a storm, and he forgot to bring them inside. The squirrels got wet by the rain and died during the storm. Since that time he makes sure that anything is in his backyard when there is a storm.  ]]> 2018-02-15 15:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231954861 Latino storytellers https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231956266 One day I forgot my house key, so I had to wait 4 hours outside. I forgot my car key inside my locked car. I got locked out of my house and had to break into my own house through the window. I went to visit my dad and forgot all my clothes. I was going to the mall, and forgot to get off at the right stop, so I ended up in Jamaica and we couldn’t figure out how to get back home. I went to a construction site with my brother and we accidentally turned on a crane and we couldn’t figure out how to turn it off, I was scared. Once, I was in a bus accident, someone was bleeding and I was scared. I got lost in my first day of school, and had to walk 5 blocks to get back home. The first day of school, I was extremely scared to speak English because I didn’t know anything. ]]> 2018-02-15 15:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/gvaccaro/PRHYLI/wish/231956266
