Come on seniors I'm waiting for you to post

She does it all with perfection. 

She says it all, almost. 

She does it all just for him. 

She's beautiful she's a mess 

She's bootyfull she's the best. 

She wants him 

Him wants she. 

Tell him when it's gone he'll be there interim. 

Tell her to tell herself it's me. 

He sees it all without looking.

and he hears it all without listening.

He says it all without meaning.

and he does it all without feeling.

He feels it all with interaction

He expresses it all with passion

He knows it all without actin

He wants it all without tryin

He curses it all.

As I got ready for school, I begged my mom to let me stay home. To not make me walk into a classroom with 15 unknown kids. 15 of the 50 that were part of the Class of 2016. I refused to walk in. I cried, I screamed, I pushed, I did anything to not go in there. My Pre-K teacher then sat me down with some kid, calmed me down and that's when my mom saw the opportunity to run away. It was the same routine for the first week of class. My mom would say she’d be just outside all day waiting fo...

There is no better way to end Senior year than with a championship. Today, May 5, 2016 SJS won the Futsal Championship vs Wesleyan 3-2. It has never felt better. We've had that taste of victory at the tip of our tongues for enough time. We've played hard ever since we started. Every season we were so close, yet not enough. This year was the year. It was enough. More than enough. We showed the league, the coaches, the fans, the school and ourselves that we were capable of bringing home the 1st...

Everyone says that friendships end but that family is always there. I don’t believe it is true, unless there is the exception that I count my close friends as family. I think that my close friends will stay with me forever whether we are living in opposite sides of the world. Real friends, I am confident, will always remain with me and we will always see each other as long as we all care about each other. As it is my last blog post, I am letting you...

Throughout my high school years, I have dedicated much of my time to a local non-profit organization called Amigos de los Animales (Friends of Animals). This organization focuses on rescuing surrounding satos, or stray dogs, and rehabilitating them in order to find them a home. Many are skinny and malnourished. They are brought by different people to the shelter in order for the woman in charge to find them a better home. Adrienne Galler, the founder of this organization, has taken it upon he...

1. Tu Recuerdo by Ricky Martin feat. Chambao

a. Driving down a steep hill getting further and further away from my cousin’s house. Taking twists and turns, high and lows in the mountains. This song reminds me of my cousin Laura, someone I deeply valued but sadly have lost touch with.

2. Prrrum by Cosculluela

a. Reggaeton parties all throughout sixth grade. Constantly beating of the ...

12 kids in this room, including myself

4 boys, 4 girls, stranded in an island

If we were to stay together, I strongly believe this would be disastrous. The majority of us are individuals who would try to assume roles of leadership and power, which would lead to our interests clash. My suggestion however, would help the situation work somewhat better. 

Teams of three: one boy, two girls
