Friday,  22 May 2020–No school

Today is Friday and there is no school. I woke up and did my normal routine. I haven’t been in the mood for doing anything but I couldn’t just lay in bed all day. I got up from my bed and did my normal routine. I ate some quesadillas and started to do a little homework. My quarantine today was boring, I didnt really do much, I just did homework and wash my clothes, the only fun part was a friend staying over the night. 

Saturday, 23 May 2020

Today is Saturday and we went hiking in the mountains. It was fun because my friend went, we got tired when we were back down from the mountain because we were technically going up hill even though it looked like we going straight the whole time. My quarantine today was relaxing because we went to walk and came back home to rest and just watch tv. 

Sunday, 24 May 2020

Today is Sunday and we didn’t do anything. All we did was relax and be lazy. I mean I did help babysit my siblings while my parents and aunt went to the store to buy some food. My quarantine today was a bit calm. They only thing my family and I did was clean and make food. For the rest of the day we just layed in bed watching tv or be on our phones.

Tuesday, 26 May 2020

Today is Tuesday and I have spanish class. Mr. Pareja explained about what we should do with our assignment. After class was done I went back to sleep because Ive been having a hard time sleeping.

Saturday, 23 May 2020

I really didn’t feel motivated to post last week’s journal. A lot of things happened that I don’t really want to write about. But I’ll post this time, I might put some stuff I did muster up to write last week on here. So I hope you guys have a good week, and I hope things get better.

Sunday, 24 May 2020

I really enjoyed making those comics Mr. Samaniego had requested me to make. Sure it was a bit tiring but if Mr. Samaniego requested me to do these again, I’ll gladly do so. I think if I continue the Animal crossing comics I think I’ll have some more story based stuff, such as backstories for the main characters and much more. It still will mostly be about Animal crossing jokes and over exaggerated events that happen in the game. Unless he wants me to something else

Tuesday, 26 May 2020

I have many Ideas for stories that would be great for many things. Yet I never have the motivation to write them down or make more of it. There are many projects tried starting but never went as far as the title, for example I wanted to work on this book called “Bites of the 90s” which was supposed to be a set of mini horror stories based off the 90s. There are also stories that I have worked on but never finished like the story The Comets Harvest, I’ve never finished it at all, and the same goes for other similar projects. It’s as if I’m losing the will to create. 

Wednesday, 27 May 2020

Recently I’ve been wanting to find many ways to distract myself and stay productive all at the same time. My brother and I will start trying to learn to cook new things. I have been drawing a lot more. I found a lot of fabric and felt so I guess I’ll start sewing again. I might start a project soon. I guess I’ll start reading my old comics. At least I found most of what’s going to distract me later. Hopefully I don’t lose motivation to do anything. 

Thursday, 28 May 2020

So sometime this week I was prescribed pills for my depression. So far they have maybe been starting to take effect. I don’t feel sad, but I don’t feel happy either, I feel nothing.  I shouldn’t have expected much, I just started them. It will take some time to take full effect. It’s not like nothing you feel when you’re sad, or devoid of all feelings, it’s more like being neutral. And I like it. Although there’s one thing that makes me worried. I’ve been waking up earlier than my alarm. Anything between 3am to 5am. Don’t know if it’s because of the pills or what but it started the first day I took the pills. Usually when I wake up I feel scared, tired, or both. But I don’t anymore, what I do feel is wake and aware of my surroundings, and that’s only it. So beside waking up early nothing else bad has happened to me while taking the pills. No side effects, I’m not unlucky for them to not work on me, and a few of my bad thoughts are gone. I feel neutral.

Today I woke up and didn’t really do much, just did my daily workouts, ran, then showered, ate, then just kind of chilled in the living room with my family for the rest of the day till night. I went out to my front yard and watched the stars come up.

Saturday, 23 May 2020

Today i woke up a little sad because today was a special day for me and an old friend. I didn’t really do anything today but continue learning this song on the piano than just kind of laid on bed the rest of the day. Until someone i expected never to talk to me again texted me and i got really happy and i just kinda talked to her the whole night. 

Sunday, 24 May 2020

Today i also woke up..can you believe that? iNcRedIBle haha anyways i did that then did my workouts, ran, showered, ate, then i started drawing then afterwards i got mad and stressed by a conversation i was having and i ended up cleaning my whole room.

Monday, 25  May 2020–No school

Today me and my family had like a little gathering around with the family and we were just chillin’ in my cousins living room. I missed her!

Tuesday, 26 May 2020

Today we also had another family gathering but this time at my house, so i got to see my cousin once more and we played board games and card games and also listened and sanged our hearts out to music.

Since there is no school today, I still thought about doing homework. And so I thought that the homework was also still going to be due today but it was not since there is no school today, everything was due yesterday I believe. Also in some of my classes it says that I am absent when I have been doing their work, so I do not understand why I am being marked absent when I am not. And online school and school in general is almost over in about two weeks which I am excited about. Today my family and I made some dessert that is in my language. I think it is called Tropical Drink, and we just make it at home and it contains milk, sugar, and other stuff that makes it delicious. So, after making drinks we just stayed in the living room and tried to have a good time since it has been so hot recently in San Diego.

Saturday, 23 May 2020

I woke up and spent my entire day in my room watching videos and stuff. I actually did my makeup as well as my nails just for fun. Sometimes I would also dress up and do my laundry because of how much I want to go out but I understand that everyone wants to go out but that there is a pandemic that is happening that is stopping everyone from going which does suck because we know how much everyone is not an introvert and everyone wants to go to the beach since it has been hot these past few days as well as go shopping and just hanging out with friends but hopefully quarantine is over by when summer happens. I really hope so. When I am also bored I would put on some skirt or shorts to find out what outfits to wear when quarantine is over. And just save some outfits that would be good to take pictures in as well. And then I would try my best to do my hair and come up with some good hairstyles.

Sunday, 24 May 2020

I woke up as well as wanting to get up and go shower because I felt super hot and sticky. It felt like it was humid in my room which I did not like. That is why I woke up and went to a different room because of how much my room felt. And so when I got to my grandma’s room I slept for a bit more then got up and made breakfast and then ate. Once I was done, I was finishing a painting for my boyfriend that I decided to do a while ago, but I was trying to fill in the flowers that I sketched out in order to paint over. The flowers look like it is hard to do, but once you get a hang of it it really is not that hard as it seems. But, it still is frustrating when the colors do not exactly are pigmented.

Monday, 25  May 2020–No school

I woke up and since today is a holiday, my mom and dad did not go to work today. We spent the entire day making food as well as cleaning the house and then just relaxing after. Then my mom, sister, and I went to the store to buy some groceries and basically just had a girls day. It was also really hot today so I recommend wearing some shorts or short sleeves if wanting to go outside. But after we came home, it was about dark time I believe and then we decided to make some dinner and then watch a movie with the whole family. Everyone likes family and adventure movies so we tried to look for some in that category. While it was past 9pm, I think I went to go watch some other movies with my boyfriend on call and we just decided to talk after the movie as well. So it was a long day and night for me.

Tuesday, 26 May 2020

I woke up to my friend texting me that our math teacher has been making some changes into the grades and to see if I was getting a good grade in it. I was kind of getting happy that I felt like I was going to get an A because of how much I have been working my butt off. But once I checked my grade in math I was super disappointed and in that moment I felt like a rush of stress came over me. Then I checked my other classes and I started getting more stressed as well as becoming paranoid. I thought that I was doing good but apparently I am not. And I felt like I was going to fail since there is only 2 weeks left of school and I am freaking out and so I am doing my assignments right now and trying my best to fix it all.

Wednesday, 27 May 2020

I woke up to realizing more that I had to keep doing my work in order to get my grades up. And so I spent more than half of my day doing my chem assignments and the whole entire day, it was just that. I had some distractions here and there but I do not think it was that big of a deal. But overall, I think that I am doing okay. But as of right now, I am still freaked out because I usually do not have bad grades at all, and just seeing my grades currently just freak me out because I do procrastinate but it is bad at the same time. But I really am trying to get my grades up and I hope all my teachers see that. And so after doing work for that day, passed midnight I just called my boyfriend to help me with some math since I needed some help, and he willingly helped me and taught me things.

Thursday, 28 May 2020

I woke up to my cousin calling me about how to work the app, Tik Tok. And so I taught him some things and so that was what made me wake up and start off my day. I also decided to try this drink that helps with weight loss since I have been gaining some weight over this quarantine and I wanted to lose some. After eating I decided to watch some movies with my boyfriend on call, and after that It was about 5:30pm and we both decided to part ways for a couple hours so he can go exercise and I can do my work that needs to be turned in for tomorrow’s work week. I also still have lots of things to turn in so hopefully I get my grades up more again. After I am done writing this, I will be on my way to finish some more chem, math, and art work. Wish me luck!

         No school today wow. Not like that really matters due to this whole situation. This journal seems short like only from today to Thursday. I have been exploring my options on finding a beat for my rap for my theatre class and the only ones that seem to work for me is the Clout Cobain instrumental by Denzel Curry. My lines that I must rap from a Dr. Seuss’ book are one of the longest ones and it seems kind of unfair because all the Asians in my class have the longest lines, interesting but funny. I stayed up until like 2:30PM watching videos and finding beats of which to use for my rap. I have not seen my girlfriend since like Monday and I must wait until like next Monday or Tuesday to see her again sadly. I have not been able to go out much and I miss that very much.

Saturday, 23 May 2020

         Gimme Love by Joji is a great song, I suggest it. I woke up at 12:00 and decided to wake up to do my daily, repetitive things. I quickly washed my face and ate some breakfast then soon after that I watched some videos on YouTube. I did some math homework and I am currently writing this entry now. Later in the day I will go out again to fill up the five-gallon jug with water and again play some video games with my cousin while talking over the phone. There is this new musical artist that I seem to be interested in, “SiR”. This math homework can be difficult and sometimes I struggle with it even though I watch the video that my teacher provides and I still don’t understand it but with the assistant of smart friends and Mathway then I will be able to complete it.

Sunday, 24 May 2020

         Not a bad way to start the day. I woke up well although it was only 10:00AM. Last night, me and my girlfriend decided to see each other, and the plan was for me to do laundry and I was able to see her because we live close. I had a fun time even though it was short. I finished doing some laundry and I did some homework after that. I usually must go behind my mom’s back to see my girlfriend and it is annoying sometimes but in the end it is worth it. Song recommendation, La La Lost You by Niki. I am still searching for the right beat to use for my theatre project and I still cannot find any other one that fits. Later in the day I will do the same usual things that I do. I cannot wait to repeat the same things the next day.

Monday, 25 May 2020–No school

         A new week has begun, and I do not know if it will be the best week in the world or the worst, probably like any other week that I have already gone through. I have a new pillow and it is very useful, but the pillow is very tall, so it is kind of made my neck hurt for a bit but other than that it is a good pillow. I ate some ribs and fermented vegetables for breakfast this morning and had some mochi for dessert. I stayed up last night until like 4:00AM video chatting with my girlfriend and finding a beat to use and I was able to find two beats that seem to fit my verse which was “Duckworth” by Kendrick Lamar and “Bali” by Rich Brian. Later in the day I will finish up writing a poem and finish up some math homework. I will exercise later, and I will also try to fit in some play time with my cousins.

Tuesday, 26 May 2020

         Last night I went to my other cousin’s house for a birthday party and it was on such short notice. It was fun and I had quite the food, ribs, mash potatoes, mac and cheese, burgers, hotdogs, and more. A great way to start off this day, I woke up at 7:30AM to go to my girlfriend’s house. I slept at my girlfriend’s house for like 2 hours while I was there, and she was also sleeping next to me. I ate some Mexican food at her place, and it was good. I came home and got on my laptop and started playing video games with my cousin. I ate a burger later in the day, it was dry but delicious. I will repeat the same thing tomorrow but tomorrow I have a zoom meeting. I must rap and make sounds for my theatre projects like ughhhh.

Wednesday, 27 May 2020

         I woke up today and my sleep was delicious, gorgeous, and stunning but it had to be ruined by my alarm clock that rang at 7:25AM to get ready to go to my girlfriend’s house. I got ready quick and ate breakfast as fast as I could but only to take a nap with her when I got there instead of watching shows or movies, but it was entirely worth it. I made instant noodles for her which she liked, and I had a zoom meeting for theatre, and it was disgusting because I had to rap. It was so bad, but I got an A though. When I came home, I exercised for like an hour and 40 minutes and then cleaned myself up. I ate steak for dinner which was good and later I will play games with my cousin. Speaking of games, yesterday I was on the phone with my cousin for like 9 hours doing our typical things.

Thursday, 28 May 2020

         A great day today, I think. I woke up at 7:25AM and it was a decent sleep and I was going to have breakfast at my girlfriend’s house. I came to her place, but I did not eat until like 11:00 because I had a zoom meeting. Me and my girlfriend watched a movie on my laptop called Ip Man 4 and it was a very good movie even though I had already watched it myself a while ago. I came home and called my cousin right away to play some games. Now I am currently still playing video games with my little cousin right now. I currently found out that Jack in the Box has cheesecake which amazes me because that is so weird but unique. I had a Jack in the Box taco and as always, it is cheap, and it is good. School is coming to an end.

I hung out with my uncle and his girlfriend at his house. We had game night and it was fun. We were playing different video games. After that we just sat around and talked about random stuff. We were laughing so much. I had such a great time.  

Saturday, 23 May 2020 

I slept for most of the day. I didn’t do anything today. So not too sure what to write about. My sleep was good. I had a fan on, so I was cool.  

Sunday, 24 May 2020 

My friend Marytza came back to town again so I went to go hang with her. We went to a friend’s house and I became close with that friend too. That day was fun. Her dad made burgers and we had munchies. We just sat outside and talked and laughed. We made many future plans for when this is over. I’m excited for those plans. I got home late so I did my homework and then went to sleep 

Monday, 25 May 2020–No school 

I didn’t do anything today besides schoolwork and watch tv. I did go for a walk with my mom, sister, my uncle and my nana. It was a nice walk. I might walk around more often just to get some fresh air every once and awhile. It was a really hot day too.  

Tuesday, 26 May 2020 

Today was good. I helped my mom with food and clean around the house. I did a lot of chores. It felt good having everything done and clean. After that I went to the nail supply store to get the product so I can practice doing acrylic nails. I hope I can do it well, but let’s see how it goes. I’m going to practice with my mom and if I get good, I’ll do it with people from school. Anyways once I got home, I cleaned everything and took a nap. Once I woke up, I did my homework and rested the rest of the day.  

Wednesday, 27 May 2020 

Today I woke up and did my chores. I did them fast, so I have lots of free time. Once I finished, I got all my acrylic nail products and started doing them to myself. It wasn’t as easy as I thought. With practice I’ll get better. When I was all done and saw my nails, I thought to myself “it wasn’t that bad for it to be my first time.” I did struggle to paint with my left hand. Once I was done, I just watched tv and eventually fell asleep.

Today is the day for my job interview. Now I’m really nervous. In a couple of hours I will get interviewed for the job. I woke up a little late like 10. I got up to finish some homework and after that I finished my chores. Then at 12 I started getting ready for the interview. It took me a long time to get ready. I was getting my make up and my hair ready. After that I left my house at 2 and got there at three and well as I said before I was really nervous. I had to calm myself so I don’t make a fool of myself. And well I waited. All I can say is that the interview went well and I got the job. I am so excited for the opportunity of working there. After that my mom was proud that I did a good job and we are now going back to my hometown to visit my grandma since her birthday is on tuesday so we just wanted to congratulate her and tell her the good news. Now that was all for the day I got the job and now I can see my grandma. 

Saturday, 23 May 2020

I went to L.A to celebrate my grandma’s birthday because her birthday landed on a Wednesday so we decided to go visit her. What my grandma didn’t know was that we were going to L.A to surprise her and that’s what we did. We spent the night at my tia´s house so we can make a mini party for just us and her. So we got what every party needs, balloons, cake and party decorations oh and also food. We made Carne Asada like always. I cut the vegetables because I’m always in charge of that which I don’t mind but yeah. I was surprised I was incharge of decorations because they always keep me to work on that but no it was my mom this time. She did a wonderful job by the way. We had to get everything done by 4 because my grandma had no idea. What was the most difficult part was getting her out of the house. She did not want to be out, not with everything that was going on. So we waited for her  to come and boom, she was surprised and had no idea what we had planning.

Film or Series 

“Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms”, this is the fourth movie I have watched online. This is a movie about the life and love of a mother for her children. First, this mother lives far away from the world of humans, spending their days weaving, a special cloth serving as a written chronicle for all the time. She ages more slowly than humans and has the capacity to live for hundreds of years. Her people are legendary to outsiders, who have dubbed them “the Clan of the Separated”. Because of some problems, she was separated from her village, after she woke up and took a newborn male infant from his deceased mother at an ambushed caravan. She names her adopted son Ariel. They live with a family in a nearby village. As the years pass by, Ariel becomes alienated from Maquia, revealing that he knows he is not her son. What makes me excited when I watch this movie is that no matter how many years have passed. But a mother’s love for her child is still the same even if it is not their biological child.

Coronavirus Changed China’s Big Political Event. Here’s What to Expect”, the National People’s Congress, which starts Friday morning in Beijing, is a chance for China to show the world that it has tamed the epidemic. The critics have urged it to admit its early missteps and reflect on the pitfalls of its penchant for secrecy and control. “China faces growing criticism around the world for its early attempts to conceal the outbreak in Wuhan” by Aly Song/Reuters. The pandemic stays a dangerous threat to people all over the world. Especially for those who do not have the assurance to prevent viruses then this will be difficult for them. Hopefully, everyone will be careful in the future because the number of infected people has not shown any decrease! Stay home, stay healthy, and be safe.

“Black Coronavirus Patients Land in Hospitals More Often, Study Finds”, Compared to white or Hispanic patients, black patients seeking care have more advanced cases of Covid-19, researchers reported. Black and Hispanic patients have been dying at higher rates than white patients. “But a new study suggests that the disparity is particularly acute for black patients” by Roni Caryn Rabin. Crowded living conditions, poorer overall health and limited access to care have been blamed. In this case, there will be a lot of people who have extremely easy to get viruses. These people can get the virus no matter how they prevent it! Although the community is currently reopening but the virus is still there. Hopefully, we will get the vaccine soon. Because now the number of infected people is not on a downward trend.

“European Defense and ‘Strategic Autonomy’ Are Also Coronavirus Victims”, with governments under intense spending pressure to cope with the coronavirus, European ambitions for a more independent defense are facing the chop. The biggest casualties may be European efforts to build a more credible and independent European military. “With the pandemic having cratered the economy, there will be an even fiercer battle of the budget” by Steven Erlanger. The pandemic is making everything mess up. Not only economic but also businesspeople face many difficulties. It is not known whether after the end of the pandemic, everything is difficult to recover. We now need to be cautious in the future because the pandemic is still there. Hope we will soon be able to stop this dangerous pandemic and return everything back to normal!

“Countries Struggle to Resume Air Travel”, The U.S. banned travelers from Brazil and India restored domestic flights. And President Trump caused outrage by playing golf as the death toll in America neared 100,000. Around the world, countries are struggling with how to best resume air travel, a cornerstone of modern commerce but also a dangerous vector of coronavirus infection. “Their people banned from arriving at once-accepting airports” by Adriano Machado/Reuters. Currently things are slowly easing. But whether this is the right time to reopen because the pandemic is still there. Coronavirus cases have exploded in Brazil, Latin America’s largest economy.

“Coronavirus Threatens China’s Devotion to Chopsticks and Sharing Food”, faced with the spread of the coronavirus, the government is promoting using serving utensils, but resistance is strong. Concerns are growing that the country’s long tradition of sharing food could also accelerate the spread of the coronavirus. “Double dipping is the norm” By Amy Qin. The pandemic is the danger for everyone, that is why we need some way to prevent it. Because we are in an epidemic period, we must blame for the virus to spread. Right now, we do not have the vaccine yet, so we must try to take preventive measures. The community is being reopened but still must ensure personal safety. Hopefully, we will get the vaccine soon so that everything can be returned to normal and at the same time everyone can return to normal life.

As we launch into a new era after the pandemic, the first thing is to support the nation’s economy, after that people will begin to return to work to support the family income. and I think that will take a lot of time especially in bringing things back to their original state, it would be difficult. I wonder what humans will be like after a pandemic. I wonder if people who lost their precious things during the last pandemic can continue to stand up and continue to move forward. Especially those who lost loved ones in the last pandemic whether they can continue to work and return to normal life or not. To balance everything after the pandemic, time is not the point. The main problem is that people have lost faith by the last pandemic whether they can continue to keep life or give up. I will play the dreams role while our Earth harmonizes a balance that settles to become our future!

“After New Coronavirus Outbreaks, China Imposes Wuhan-Style Lockdown”, infections in the northeast have led officials to sequester hundreds of thousands at home. “China doesn’t want to take any chances,” one expert said. Teams of government workers go door to door rounding up sick people as part of what they call a “wartime” campaign. “They are turning to many of the same strict lockdown measures” by Javier C. Hernández. The danger of a pandemic continues and there is no downward trend. In the future, it can be difficult for everyone and the job. That is why we must try to protect ourselves, especially soon. Hopefully soon there will be a vaccine to be able to officially return to normal life normally without any worries and students can return to school without worrying about next year! Stay home, stay healthy, and be safe.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Police brutality

Today I read an article in the New York Times about police brutality specifically George Floyd may he rest in peace. I personally feel like this was a racially targeted or racially handled the wrong way. The police officer stated, “appeared to be under the influence,” who “physically resisted officers”. However, in the video proof and evidence showed it shows a helpless man unarmed saying multiple times “I can’t breathe” when the police officer has his knee down on his neck. In what way shape or form is this okay? So now to kill helpless colored people is okay? Because this has been happening way too much this is a racial thing. I know dam well if it was a white officer with a white person, they would be standing next to each other no questions asked. I could go on and on about this problem we have but for now, rest in peace to George Floyd. 

Movie

Nacho Libre

A day ago, I watched the movie “Nacho Libre” on Netflix. It’s a movie based on a foster church kid who becomes a man and later wants to be a wrestler. He tags teams or becomes a partner with the homeless man who steals his food church chips. Even though they go wrestle it is still not allowed to because he is still a churchman who makes food for the kids. He losses a lot of fights but people find him entertaining with all his losses he also gets a cut even for just fighting. He uses his money to feed better food to the church kids. Later, the church people discover what he has been doing and they tell him to leave because the church doesn’t do violence. Although he is kicked out, he still cares about the kids in church.

The Curious case of Benjamin Button 

The curious case of Benjamin Button is a movie about a man’s life going backwards. Now when I mean backwards I mean this man was born with old man´s features. And the older he got, the younger his features are. Benjamin didn´t have a normal life. He was abandoned by his biological parents as a baby because of his condition. So they left him at a random house and this lady that was his mother figure took him in and raised him as her own. She never treated me differently because of his condition and tried to give him as normal a life as possible. But he didn’t have many friends because of his conditions but there was this girl his same age that didn’t mind his condition and they started as being friends and they treated their whole life to be together but there were lots of obstacles in their way. This movie is honestly really good. It’s a nice story line about a man’s different and difficult life. This movie also has romance so if you are into those kind of movies I would recommend.

I love chocolate cake so much that’s why we did it chocolate flavour at the end of the night we just ordered some tacos because we didn’t feel like cooking at all tonight we also watched the new scoob movie and it was okay it was not my favorite movie but it was okay I would rate it a good 4 just cause. My spanish teacher is really sending a lot of work right now about the upcoming AP test coming up for us and Its alot to do and I just can’t wait to get it over with I have been practicing so much and I still don’t get the assignment but I got tutors who can help me 

 

Sunday, 17 May 2020

My entire morning was not fun at all. We just ended up watching movies all day and I even played some fortnite half the time after that we just had a family spa day we had some face mask on and we just got pretty. It was so relaxing and so satisfying to peel off our face mask I also ordered some things online for my birthday even if Im not going anywhere but since my birthday is at the end of the month we got time for it to arrive at my house I also ordered some chips online I ordered them online because they don’t sell them anymore and they were actually my favorite chips of all times. Quarantine has made me more lonely than usual but at least I got one friend I can always count on like briana because we always talking on the phone about gossip and I honestly never saw us being friends

 

Monday, 18  May 2020

Today I woke up at 9 like always since my brother has a zoom meeting, my mom started making us some pancakes. They smelled really good but I can’t say that same about the taste because it tastes like nothing. My mom made 2 pancakes for all of us and we didn’t want anymore after the first one because we didn’t like it so we just started playing around and clowning on her. My mom did the smallest pancakes and they were so funny but we were trying to make my mom taste the nasty ones but she didn’t want to we were still on the call during all of this and because of us laughing so much my brothers teacher noticed my brother not doing work and she kicked us out of the meeting and it was so funny but we still did the work we had to. It was just a fun day for us in general.

Tuesday, 19 May 2020

Today my entire family got to visit the beach for the first time since quarantine started. We just walked around the water since we can’t lay down and sit in the sand. At first the water was super cold but I got used to it. My youngest sibling was the only one that wanted to go in the water with me and I was watching him the entire time so nothing bad happens to him. My other sibling decided to just walk around the sand because he was getting cold and he didn’t bring a sweater after we told him to wear one so he was the only one freezing. My mom was just taking pictures of us the entire time but it’s okay because we love taking pictures. I actually fell in the water by accident trying to walk around because I didn’t see that at the bottom of the water there was a big hole and I couldn’t see it so I stepped on it and I dipped into the water. It was so funny but I was so cold. My brother was laughing so much at me that he also didn’t see where he was stepping and he fell in too

Wednesday, 20 May 2020

Today we got to eat some pizza and it was so good I ate like 5 pieces. No wonder I’m getting fat we also watched Everything ,Everything and the darkest minds with the family.  We actually babysat my little cousins and they were being really loud all day and they cried a lot. I started watching some tik toks and I took a long nap. It was a little hot so I went outside to cool down and I was with my family talking about showing me how to drive. For breakfast we got to eat some chilaquiles and they were so good. Quarantine needs to end because I’m tired of being home. I’m glad my mom is going back to work soon because we don’t want to go broke and I know my mom wants to go see her friends too. My job is actually opening up soon but for individual people since its a tourist place

Thursday, 21 May 2020

I actually got up early to my mom telling me that my spanish teacher texted her saying i’m failing her class and she started laughing because my first language is spanish. After this I got up and I helped my brother out with his zoom meeting once again, my mom got another message a couple minutes later saying that my brother hasn’t been doing homework but I helped him so how is that possible. That teacher is too much and I could tell the parents don’t like her either she doesn’t have the patience for the kids after his zoom meeting I started doing my homework that I haven’t done because I keep forgetting and omg I had a lot of things to do i’m so tired but atleast I did it I still have a lot to do still and alot of things are due today so I have to hurry up with this.

Friday,  22 May 2020–No school

I actually got a call from my program today and it was really boring it was supposed to be fun because we always go to the beach and interact with all of our family in the program and this time we did it over zoom and I wasn’t even with my friends I was stuck with some intelligent kids and we had a game to play but they took over and they ended up answering all the questions we were actually competing for a 10$ gift card for amazon and at the end of the game we actually ended up being the first ones done and we thought that we were going to win but we actually lost and it’s not fair because we were the first ones done. Once again we went to the beach and it was fun this time I took some pictures so I could post it on my instagram since last time we went I looked really ugly

The pursuit of Happiness 

The pursuit of happiness is a movie about a man trying to follow his dream. This man had to go through a lot of obstacles to get to where he wanted to be. He dreamed big but had little to no money to pursue it. He had a family to feed. Him and his wife had to go through a lot I mean as in working low wage jobs. The wife had enough and left but the man didn’t want to be alone and all he asked was for his son to stay. So it was just him and his son. If you are looking for an emotional and drama film this is it. It’s an emotional rollercoaster, all I can say is that it will make you cry. It’s really a beautiful story and it makes you want to appreciate your life even more. I highly recommend this movie.

Today is Saturday and we really didn’t do much today. I just woke up, did my daily routine, and that’s all. My quarantine today was boring, all I did was clean the whole house, listen to music, make some hot dogs for my family to eat; well technically I didn’t make them, I just helped my dad into making them. My head has been hurting since I woke up, and my sleep schedule has been a complete mess. After doing everything that I did today I got ready for bed. 

Sunday, 17 May 2020

Today is Sunday and I had so much fun today. I woke up early today because we were going hiking. Once I woke up I did my normal routine and drank my coffee and waited until everyone else woke up. My quarantine today was amazing, we finally got out of the house since quarantine started and went to cuyamaca just to see how beautiful nature got. We went to walk in the trails and also fooled around by grabbing a leaf and putting it on my family’s ear for them to think that it was a bug. After we got home everyone took a shower and rested. 

Monday, 18  May 2020

Today is Monday and I woke up tired, I didn’t want to do anything today, not even join the zoom meeting of Mr. Samanieago. I got up from bed and just ate some food and went back to bed to be on my phone to pass time while I’m waiting for Mr. Samaniegos class starts. Once his class started we didn’t really do much, he only showed us the obama speech and talked about the assignments we should do today. My quarantine today wasn’t fun, I’ve been doing homework all day, I only took an hour of a break because my computer was about to die. 

Tuesday, 19 May 2020

Today is Tuesday and I have spanish class today. Mr. Pareja didn’t really talk about school work, he only told us what assignments to do and to see if any students have a difficult time to do their work. After class, I started to do the assignments that my teachers have assigned. My quarantine today was fun, the whole day today I’ve been fooling around with my siblings and helping my mom and aunt in some chores. 

Wednesday, 20 May 2020

Today is wednesday and I have Statistics class. Mr. Bihi only had office meetings for the students that needed help in any math problem. After the meeting I decided to redo my math problems because I only got one problem right. My quarantine today was fun, I helped a friend with the history project. The funny thing is that my friend would get some of the words mixed up with words I never said. 

Thursday, 21 May 2020

Today is Thursday and today I have History class. Mr. Shandonix only reviewed what we should do for our history project. After he was done I started to finish my history project. My quarantine today was fun because I helped a friend with their history homework and there were some words that she thought I said when in reality I said a different word. I helped my mom make some food and clean the house. 

Friday,  22 May 2020–No school

Today is Friday and today there is no class. I got out of bed late and did the same routine as always. I decided to finish my english homework and take a break afterwards. My quarantine today was fun. I played around with my family, I went with my aunt to wash her car, I washed my siblings and my laundry. We didn’t really do much but I helped my mom and siblings in many things.

How long will this quarantine take? I am so tired of just being home. I want to work again so I can save more money like I said in my previous journals but that’s basically all I can talk about there’s nothing else to talk about. But I’m not really complaining because nothing comes out of me complaining things are still the same, there is nothing we can really expect to just stay home and stay home as much as possible. Today I went to 7 eleven to get snacks with my family. We got a whole bunch of snacks and I decided to get those lottery tickets where you have to scratch to see if you won something but guess what I didn’t and really I didn’t expect something but it was worth the shot because why not but my mom won a free ticket to get another lottery ticket. I hope we don’t get addicted but I really doubt that.

Sunday, 17 May 2020

Today was a lazy day well duh it’s Sunday. We just stayed on the couch and watched scary videos. Some of those videos were really creepy but we still watched them. There is really nothing to say about today but I got an email saying that one of my packages is coming in on Tuesday hopefully it does come in that day can’t wait to see my package. Other then that it was a chill day of being lazy and doing literally nothing which is me everyday since quarantine has started. I don’t want to complain but I wonder when this will slowly recover so I can go out and not be in this house with my siblings anymore they are really getting  annoying to the point where I just lock myself in my room. I’ve been interested in buying a piano but I still haven’t found the one so hopefully I can buy one soon.

Today I woke up very early, I woke up around 8:30 and went on a walk. I was very skeptical about going for a walk because it was so early and like I’ve been feeling very lazy so I wasn’t sure at first but then I ended up going for a walk. The weather was actually alright in the morning. I took a shower after the walk, and made some breakfast for me and my little sister so when she woke up she wouldn’t be hungry having to make her own food. Like I really woke in a great mood and just wanted to be a great day and it actually turned out just like how I planned it to be.

Monday, 18  May 2020

I had a zoom meeting today, it went great there wasn’t really anything to talk about. I’m glad my grade for English went up to an A which means it’s going to stay like that, so I thank God that I don’t have to stress about this class.  I’ve honestly come a long way like if the corona wasn’t that serious and we were still in school I honestly wouldn’t have got my work done and I would be tardy and absent most days and wouldn’t have the grade I have right now.  

Tuesday, 19 May 2020

I had a choir meeting today at 3:00 and I did not enjoy it. My teacher explained a lot of assignments that are due this weekend and on tuesday, it’s a lot to take in right now because I have to worry about finishing up my history homework and complete writing a song starting today. I haven’t even started on brainstorming and writing what type of song I want to write which is making everything 10 times harder for me. This day has been so horrible for me like everything irritates me. I think it’s because I’ve been in my room all day but I’m not sure.

Wednesday, 20 May 2020

Today I went to my history meeting and slept through like the whole meeting. After my meeting I went back to sleep and when I woke up I decided to make some seafood boil for the family. It takes a very long time to be honest,  like just waiting for the pot and everything to boil and like having to make the sauce. Even though no one helped me with anything, I still got everything done and it was a cool experience for me to make seafood boil for the first time. After I was done I went in my room and caught up with some work assignments as usual.

Thursday, 21 May 2020

I woke up this morning on time for my cooking class, I couldn’t join the zoom meeting for some reason today.  I had messaged her about it so I can still get my grade,  20 minutes passed by and she messaged me back and said that she’ll give me grades and put in my grade. My teacher then had messaged me again and told me to check  my grade and she raised it up to an A which really made my morning. Besides all that I actually went to the grocery store and post office today, it honestly felt good just being outside and not staying indoors all day. I honestly really miss going outside having fun with my friends and going on little adventures.

            The weekend feels like it is going slow, but I am doing my best to fight against this long weekend. I got a new game on my laptop and I have been able to play with my cousins and my brother all together and it is definitely very fun. The AP exam is coming very quickly, and I think I am ready for it although I feel like I am ready for it. I have been doing my homework for my other classes like History and that is easy. I am still bored, but I have plenty of videos and shows to watch as well as games to play. I ate curry. I have not gone anywhere and so it is boring. This quarantine thing is not ending anytime soon, and it feels like it has been going on for like a millennium and the worst part is that the U.S. has 1.5 million cases now and it will continue to rise.

Sunday, 17 May 2020

            My sleep was not the greatest but today was quite the fun day. I started the day off with laundry in the morning. I ate breakfast, got ready, and went to go put my clothes to wash. I was able to fill up the 5-gallon jugs with water and return home easily. When my clothes were done drying, I was folding them and this homeless man asked this older guy in the laundromat for quarters for something then he came up to me asking for three quarters and he needed it for laundry so I just gave him like $2.00 worth of quarters and he asked if I needed help with laundry so I politely said no. There is a liquor store connected to this laundromat and as I was folding I see the same homeless guy walking out with two drinks in his hand and I felt a little  bothered but also happy and content at the same time.

Monday, 18 May 2020

            Yay it is a new week, but it also seems like a difficult week. A great way to start off this fantastic week is to go see my girlfriend and that is what I did. I ate potato tacos at her home, and it was good. We watched movies and talked. I returned home and I felt the weight of more work that must be done like a project for History, this journal I am writing, an AP exam, and a ridiculous project for Theatre where I have to rap some lines from a Dr. Seus book. Later in the day I will exercise so I do not get fat and ugly. I will play a game with my girlfriend later in the day known as Roblox, a children’s game. I will finish up my project for History class which is a Google Slide presentation for the President that I have chosen.

Tuesday, 19 May 2020

            I got news last night that my mom will not have work on Tuesday which is today. I am unable to go to my girlfriend’s house sadly. I woke up pretty good and had a delicious sleep. I think I might try to sneak out later to go to my girlfriend’s house for a couple of minutes to give something to her and I got excuses, so I am ready. Tomorrow is the spectacular AP English Exam and I do not necessarily think I am ready for it but at the same time I feel like I am. Later in the day I will do some math homework and play games with my cousins and I will probably work out later. Today seems like a normal day but without my girlfriend and the best part was probably sleeping in. In general, I am still bored but also, I am having more fun than I did like two months ago or even last month in the first few weeks.

Wednesday, 20 May 2020

            Today is the best, most astonishing and gorgeous day to write an essay. I had a pretty good sleep and today was the AP English Exam and I woke up at 9;45AM to get ready for it. I ate breakfast quickly and brushed my teeth and had everything ready. The exam would start at 11 and the first couple sentences of the passage was just stupid and ridiculous. My prompt was about science, life, and how it contributes to the greater world like WTF. I am sure I did horrible, I only started writing when there was like 23 minutes left and I submitted my essay in the last 10 seconds. I feel like my prompt was harder than other people’s prompt and that seems kind of unfair. I was expecting some speech or something not about science, life, and the greater world. Well after that was done, I went to some zoom meetings and relaxed then exercised and played some games.

Thursday, 21 May 2020

            Another great day, I think. I am unable to go to my girlfriend’s house today because my mom does not work today sadly so I must wait until Monday to see her again. I missed my Zoom meeting for English today because I slept right through it. Last night was fun for me because I was playing online games with my cousin for like 6 hours and that was fun. I will do some math homework later and some good news about my math class is that my class is on our last unit yay, cool. Today is a simple day, nothing special or great happening. I will also play some games with my girlfriend or cousins later in the day. I am also doing a final project for History and that is basically pretty much done, and it was easy. But for my theatre class, I must rap some lines from a Dr. Seus book and a project where I must make sounds for a book.

Friday, 22 May 2020–No school

            What a beautiful new day. I was sleeping very well but there was loud construction and I decided to wake up. The first thing I did when I woke up was do some math homework and that was difficult which made me ask my friend for some help. After I was done with some homework, I ate breakfast which was chicken pot pie and that was decently good. I watched Gordon Ramsay yell at people on this show, Kitchen Nightmares which was cool. After that I went out to fill a five-gallon jug with water. Then after that I decided to exercise, and I showered when I was done. I am currently eating green apples with peanut butter, a delicious, delightful combination. In a bit I will play some games with my cousin as we talk over the phone. Today is like any other boring day which is cool but as well as boring.

Sophia came over to my house for a sleepover. Me and some family had game night. There were lots of laughs. We also went to go get food. I wanted to pay but she did to, so we made the cashier pick. The cashier ended up picking her money, so she paid. After that we watched different shows and we talked about many things. It was lots of fun we slept late to.  

Sunday, 17 May 2020 

When me and Sophia woke up, we ate and just chill a little more before she went back home. I was on Instagram and saw an old friend ,Marytza, was in town so I asked if I could hang out with her. They said yes so we dropped Sophia off and I went to my Marytza house. Me and her went to Starbucks and got some drinks. I had so much fun with her too. It’s been years since we had seen each other since she moved.

I’m glad school is going to be over soon and there will be no more schoolwork. I’m always so nervous when I turn it on because I want a good grade and want to see if I did good but I won’t know till a few days.  

Film or Series

“Weathering with You”, this is the third animation series I’ve watched online. This is a movie about the weather and students. High schooler, the protagonist runs away from his island home to move to Tokyo and his ferry to the city is hit by a freak rainstorm. And then a person hires him as his assistant at a small publishing company, where they investigate urban legends relating to the unusually rainy weather in Tokyo. From a psychic, they hear the legend of a “weather maiden” who can control the weather. And my favorite part in this movie is that three years later, the rain has fallen without end in Tokyo, submerging much of the city. Having finished his probation, the protagonist graduates from high school and returns to Tokyo. He meets with the girl, who has expanded his business. After she encourages him to find his friend, the protagonist finds her praying on a street overlooking the drowned city. They reunite, with the protagonist promising his friend that they will be fine from now on.

“Amazon Reaches Deal with French Unions in Coronavirus Safety Dispute”, the online giant will begin reopening its six warehouses in France following a legal battle over protections for employees. Paris and Amazon have reached an agreement with French unions to reopen its warehouses in France after a lengthy battle over safety measures to protect workers against the coronavirus. “Retailer has faced during the pandemic” by Liz Alderman. We can see that in the anti-epidemic period, retailers had to face many difficulties, especially in business. And even the workers who worked, had a lot of trouble during this pandemic. Although there is currently a pandemic and there is no downward trend, it is also expected that people can return to their normal work slowly. Hopefully, we will get vaccines soon so that people can return without having to worry about pandemic anymore.

“Wandering a Grand Hotel Emptied by Coronavirus, and Checking 1,400 Taps”, a luxury hotel in Barcelona plans to welcome guests again once Spain’s lockdown ends. Until then, its sole occupant lives in a room with enviable views and prepares it for a post-pandemic world. With an official death toll of just over 27,000, Spain has been one of the European countries hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. “It’s probably the most boring part of my job, but it’s needed” by Raphael Minder. The pandemic problems continue to make many countries difficult to economy. Everyone’s work faces many difficulties. Do not know when this pandemic will end, but if this keeps up like this. But if it continues for a long time there will be lots of damage and lots of deaths. Hope we will get the vaccine soon to end and come back to real life.

“Germany and France Propose $545 Billion Coronavirus Fund for Europe”, the U.S. sharply criticized the World Health Organization, while China pledged $2 billion to fight the pandemic. They agreed to back the idea of collective European debt to help those countries that have been hit hardest by the pandemic. “Faced with economic calamity and the threat of the coronavirus further fracturing the European Union” by Andreas Gora. The pandemic has not shown signs of decline and now it is still a threat to the world. Ms. Merkel joined with President Emmanuel Macron of France to propose borrowing 500 billion euros, or $545 billion, for a common recovery fund. And we still do not know until the end of the world crisis. But hopefully we will soon end the world crisis so everyone can officially return and work again!

“A.C.L.U. Warns Against Fever-Screening Tools for Coronavirus”, a report by the civil liberties group contends that reliance on thermal cameras and temperature-sensing guns to resume work at factories and offices and to encourage travel is flawed and intrusive. The American Civil Liberties Union warned on Tuesday against using the tools to screen people for coronavirus symptoms. “The devices were often inaccurate, ineffective and intrusive” By Natasha Singer. It looks like we have another problem with the help devices in fighting Covid-19. If the devices are often inaccurate, ineffective, and intrusive then people will have a challenging time finding viruses. The best way to combat the pandemic now is to avoid exposure in crowded places, wash your hand, and stay home. Because only we can protect ourselves. Devices are not always right!

“A Sudden Coronavirus Surge Brought Out Singapore’s Dark Side”, the pandemic seemed to pass over the city-state. Then the government was blindsided by an outbreak among poor migrant workers in packed dormitories. It appeared that the virus was passing us by; that the infections would sputter along at a low level and finally disappear altogether. “The threat had not gone away” by Megan K. Stack. The automatic pandemic disappears is impossible. Because there is no evidence for that yet. But if that really happens, then it is lucky too! Currently, we still do not have the vaccine yet, so if the pandemic really disappears so that can help us be safe in a brief time. But to be sure, the vaccine against the virus is what can guarantee. But try to avoid close contact and stay home!

“Coronavirus shut down the “Experience Economy.” Can it come back?”, large scale gatherings are on hold for the foreseeable future. That is taking a toll on the live events industry and society at large. In states that have started to reopen, customers have not yet flocked back to establishments of the experience economy. “That was the worst-case scenario, especially with all the marketing we did” by David Gelles. The pandemic has caused many businesspeople to face loss of money. Some famous places must also have closed because of the pandemic. Now we are not sure whether we can get back to the community yet. Hopefully, there will be a downward trend for people to return to work. And hope that we will soon have a vaccine to fight the virus and stop the death.

“Prominent Scientists Denounce End to Coronavirus Grant ”, a group of 77 Nobel laureates wants the U.S. government to review a grant cancellation for research in China directly related to preventing pandemics. The agency said the investigation into the sources of pandemics did not fit with program goals and agency priorities. The pre-eminent scientists characterized the explanation for the decision by the National Institutes of Health as “preposterous”. “The sources of pandemics did not fit with the program” by James Gorman. This is surprisingly good news catching it during a pandemic like this. It seems that not only the economy and people’s lives are in trouble but even the pandemic vaccine research is having some problems, too. Hope everything will be alright so that the pleading in the pandemic will continue. But everyone should also try to protect themselves especially in the future!

I slept in my parents room with my little brother. And I was on face-time with my boyfriend once again. It was about 8 o’clock I believe, and I asked him if he wanted to watch a movie together, and whenever we try to watch movies together on Discord it does not work properly and it always lags if one of us shares the screens. Unlike Rabbit, (Rabbit was a website and app that let people invite or share screens in order for people to watch movies together virtually.) But sadly, it got bought from this other company that is not as good as Rabbit, so RIP. I came up with the idea that we would stay on face-time and our PCs would be playing the music, but no screen sharing. We just go to the same website and movie then count down to start the movie, which will get us both on the same time. We decided to watch Insidious. We were about 15 minutes in when he wanted to stop because he was getting scared. He said he would rather talk to me and so we stopped the movie and just talked. He soon fell asleep, and I do not blame him since he has a lot of midterms coming up. He was supposed to walk on stage this year, but sadly that’s not gonna happen.

I woke up to my sister making me look for her air pods since she said I was the last one to use it. I got up, went to my room and started searching. For some reason, I got an itch that I should check her backpack even though she said she already did. But since that itch was making me look through her backpack, I decided to. I first checked the smallest bag first, nothing. Then the second smallest, I dug my hand inside and found it. I put her backpack back on the rack and went to the living room to give it to her. She said thank you, as well as saying she never puts her air pods in the second smallest bag. And that she always puts it in the smallest one. Thankfully I did find it cause if I didn’t I would have gotten in trouble for ‘using it last’ when she obviously used and touched it last.

I woke up with my sister getting up to do her assigned work for school. I stayed asleep after that because I felt a little bit more tired. And so I usually just stayed home and exercised. I usually do workouts everyday now just so I can lose some weight that I have gained from this quarantine. I have gained some weight and I am not very happy with it so I am going to try my best to work out and become more fit for summer and after quarantine is over. I usually stayed in my room or the living room, and watched videos or some sort like that. And I have been really into horror movies or adventure and I think it is pretty cool. I usually just watch it myself or watch it with my boyfriend virtually. At night I stayed up and looked around my clothes and tried it all on trying to figure out some outfits to wear just in case school comes around already and I will have some ideas.

When I woke up, my sister again woke up early to get ready for her assignment again. I was tired again, and so I slept more. I have no idea but I know for a fact that I slept earlier than I have this week but somehow I still felt tired that I woke up late in the afternoon. Probably because of how much I have been staying up and doing things that my energy just needed more sleep and I was just drained. And my brain just needed that more sleep. I woke up and checked my phone first because I saw lots of notifications. I remember I had a really bad nightmare that was terrifying for me. It got to the point where I told my friends and boyfriend about it because I was afraid. I think I am okay right now. But in that moment I woke up, my heart was racing rapidly and I had to take deep breaths to slow it down.

I got into the zoom meeting while greeting everyone. It is true that I did stay up because I knew I had the zoom meeting and as well because I was not tired. My boyfriend slept earlier but he stayed up with me when he woke up again. But before the zoom meeting was about to start he left to go back to sleep. I think that after this zoom meeting I will go to sleep finally. I know that if I do not, I will probably have a headache or something. And then wake up super late which is bad, I know. But before the zoom meeting, I already got my blankets and pillow to the living room, got myself a glass of water, and my laptop. I just made sure that my laptop was getting ready to work before I was ‘too late’. I think that once this zoom meeting is over I will be able to relax again. I still need to do other assignments from the other classes as well.

I woke up to trying to do my math homework, did I say that math is my least favorite subject in school? Yes, well it is. And I have to do it, because I am in Pre-Calc. And I would very much like to pass this class. For me, it is not very easy. It is hard for me to understand sometimes. I do not do well with graphs. I thought online schooling would be easier but it is actually not. Things are more rushed and teachers just give out more work. I understand that we are in quarantine but sometimes people just are not motivated anymore because of how ‘boring’ this is. This quarantine has been peaceful but not really..? I am kind of annoyed by my family members but not really. And I like how we have endless time to use but then we are not having enough exercise but then we are able to have more relaxing time.

Friday,  22 May 2020–No school

I woke up pretty early due to me exercising last night. And I felt pretty confident and good so I prepared myself for some pancakes. And as well as making pancakes I also make myself a cup of smoothie that contains strawberries, bananas, and raspberries. The liquid I used was almond milk. My family and I do not really use regular milk anymore, so we usually use almond milk now. I am kind of craving cereal right now, but we have not gotten any at the moment. Maybe we can go grocery shopping, but who knows yet. But yeah, after there are bubbles at the end of the pancakes that means that it is time to flip the pancake and wait for the other side to cook. And when that is done you put the cooked pancake on a plate, you add more batter into the buttered pan, and then you wait for the bubbles once again.

Film or Series

I’m actually watching The Money Heist. It’s about a group of delincuentes who all get recruited by this man who saved their butts from being catched by the cops. He didn’t save them because he cares he did it because he had a plan, a plan to rob a bank he actually did not come up with the plan his father came up with it when the man was only a kid. The father didn’t move on to the plan but the son did and that’s why he needed the group he saved, all of them have done some good work according to him because they didn’t get caught they ran away. This is actually a series the actual plan took years to make. It was all thought about every move, everything was planned, there was nothing that was not planned. Throughout time they become a family and they actually rob the bank they wanted and they keep going for round 2 but this time it was because one of them got caught because they were being stupid so they reunited to save the person. The story keeps going after that but that’s all I’m going to say.

Freedom Writers 

Freedom writers is a movie that was based on a true story that happened in Long Beach which is where I was bored. This movie is about students who lived in a poor neighborhood where gang violence was okay and joining a gang was the only way for safety. This movie is about a teacher who actually saw that they had a chance to graduate and go off to college but she had to go through lots of obstacles to gain their trust and to get them on board that school is important. Not only did she had hardships with these students but also had obstacles with teachers who didn’t support her because they didn’t see the potential in the students like she did. It also talks about what these students have to go through to get through life. If you are into drama this is a good movie to watch not only is it drama but this is based on a true story.
