Time Is on My Side

family history On my mom's side family means everything. We are constantly going to family gatherings. My grandparents had 5 kids so counting their spouses I have 6 aunts and uncles and 7 younger first cousins. There is lots of drama and no privacy. My dad's side is a different story he is an only child and his mom has remarried many times so we never really have a grandpa on his side. We go and see my granny but that's about the extent of going to see my dad's side. My little sister and me…

thirteen years ago. Not that I remember much of my family in California, but I did have a hard time fitting in with my new cousins and relatives. The days I cherished most was after ten years in North Carolina, my family decided to visit our relatives in California. Meeting my family again in California became the most precious days to me; they were nice, generous people. I loved spending time with them and it really felt like home. My mom’s side of the family were the nicest people I’ve ever…

“Take the right side to go up the hill and be careful!” During winter break last year, I went on a family and friend dirt bike camping trip to Forest Hill, California. We went up to Forest Hill on Christmas day. I was very happy because of the morning before we left, I opened my Christmas presents and I still had the memories of cookies and milk and family time in my mind. I have been riding motorcycles since I was little and my dad was confident in my performance, so he let my older brother…

visit my grandparents. When I was a little girl my family and I went, but I was two so I don’t really remember anything. Both my Mom and Dad are form Mexico, so most of my family is down there. I know I have a lot of family that I haven’t met yet, and would like too. Besides just visiting my family, I would love to be able to go on tours and visit the wonderful attractions Mexico has to offer. When my family and I went to Mexico, we stayed there for two months. In those two months we visited my…

their actions. Before I perform my skill I jump over the rope twice quickly and then slowly once. To jump over the rope, I use flexion to bend my elbow joint, moving my radius and ulna in a circular motion from my elbow joint and my shoulder joint uses circumduction to bring the rope over my head. My bicep brachii allows me to flex my elbow to perform this skill. I flex both my knee joints to prepare to jump the rope and to gain power. My hamstrings allow me to bend my knee joint, allowing…

My mind is filled with many avenues and passage ways. Crevices and Rooms filled of times of my past and present. The good: open with welcoming smiles to anyone. The bad and ugly: locked but with the key still in the hole for anyone willing to enter. My mind is colorful to say the least. I can be thinking of anything at any given moment. There’s a room at the farthest point of the hallway, its door the darkest of red, the doorknob the same color. This is the room that my deepest fear stays…

1. My father’s side of the family spent many years in Montreal, Quebec. Further on in the tree, we see some roots trace back to Ireland where my great-great-great grandfather lived. On my mother’s side, my family made education a large priority. My ancestors would migrate to areas of Mexico where the education was the strongest. As more families began forming, and new forms of transportation were developed, my ancestors settled in the heart of Mexico. I enjoy the reactions of my pears when I…

balanced. Peering into myself, I notice that my Yin persona dominates while my Yang side is slowly trying to shine through from the inside. I feel the imbalance of Yin Yang in my everyday life as I struggle to balance my two personas. My book is inspired by the metaphor “don’t judge a book by its cover”. At first sight, my notebook is consumed by white, representing the domination…
