Christmas

I'm really excited for Christmas, it's a holiday that is celebrated in all countries where many people gather together to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, many people have a special food for that day and they decorate their houses with the Christmas trees, and lights. The food can vary in many countries some people would eat turkey, fish and sometimes pork, you can also find some very good fruit cakes.

In my family what we usually do is make some tamales, and a very delicious drink called "ponche" it's made out of all kinds of fruits, one of my favorites is the apple and guava wich are delicious, for the gift giving we have so many presents that we cover the whole christmas tree with presents, and then we stay up all night till three in the morning.

We also go buy a lot of fireworks for the kids that come to our house that don't have money we invite them and we have a really good time with them, because in Christmas I think that everybody should get a present and so between all of my brothers try to raise some money for those kids and buy them a small present that can make them smile in Chistmas.

Busy week

This weekend was amazing, first because I had a wonderful time with my family, and I really loved it because we reunited all together again and we had some food wich was very delicious. Yesterday I also had an amazing day because one of my favorites soccer team won the mach in the classico wich is only played in spain, my team named Barcelona was playing a very good game, the way that they were passing the ball from one side to the other was amazing, almost magic and that is one of the reasons why they won by scoring five goals.

Today is also a very important day for many immigrant students that are living in the United States because the senate passed the law called "Dream Act" wich will help immigrant students to get a permit to live in the United States and to even get to be citizens of the U.S this will benefit many immigrant students because the will be able to go school and to get a job, and also they will be able to visit their families in their countries, a lot of young students were hoping that this law can be pass, because it will decide the future of many students in this country.

During the next few days I will be really busy, by going to soccer practice every day, our soccer season is getting closer and we are hoping to do better this year, we have a lot of players who are trying really hard to get better and to hopefully get into the playoffs this year.

Thanksgiving

This week it's been really exciting for me because I finally got to play soccer, because of my injured foot I was not able to play for two weeks but now that I feel better and that I'm also able to run a lot more faster I thanked to my doctor and I also hope that I don't get injured anymore because it's really painful and boaring to be just sitting down on the couch and watching tv

During the weekend I'm going to go to vistit my uncle's ranch and we were planning on riding the horses that he has in his ranch, one of the favorite horses that I always ride when I go to his ranch is one horse name "Palomo", he is a very strong and intelligent horse wich I also like to ride because he is one of the fastest horses that my uncle has. At the end of the day we were hoping on having a barbecue with some friends that my uncle invited to come to his house and I'm sure that I will have so much fun with all of them because the are some very nice friends and they are really close to the family.

Try outs at school start next week and because of that I will be practicing a lot this weekendd because I need to gain more speed so that when I play for the school I don't get that tired and I that I never come out of the field because I feel that this year will be really succesful for me in soccer.

The saddest day in my life

Last Saturday I went to play soccer with my friends and we were having so much fun when accidentally I tried to cross the soccer ball to one of my teammates and I hit the ground with my left foot and unfortunately I fractured it, when I got to the hospital the doctor checked my foot and told me that there was nothing to worry about because it was just a little sprained and with an object in my foot and a few weeks of rest I would be ready to play soccer again.

This weekend I'm going to get a haircut and also I'm going to go visit my cousin, since I can't go to play soccer I will may be playing video games, watching movies and also spending some time with my girlfriend because we don't get to see much during the week because she also has to go school and practice after school with a soccer team that she plays for.

Saturday night it's going to be really exciting because I will be watching the fight between Margarito vs Paquiao and I hope that the Mexican boxer can win this fight to one of the best boxing players, I’m hoping that the Mexican guy wins this fight, because a lot of people is supporting him and all Mexican people are very proud of him for being the best in the ring.

Winter

This week was very cold so I did not have much time to go to play soccer and also because I was injured and I haven't play this whole week, I'm thinking that I'm going to be able to start playing soccer again by probably next Tuesday.

This weekend I'm hoping to do a lot of things starting with going to visit my cousin because we were planning on going to a small party that were invited to go, I also wanted to go to play soccer with my friends but I don't think that I will be able to play with them because I'm injured.

On Saturday I'm going to try to wake up early so I can watch some soccer games and also try to finish with all my homework that I have for all of my classes. I also wanted to congratulate the football team for the great effort they made this season to be in the playoffs, there is two members of the Varsity soccer team who are also playing for the Varsity football team and they are doing a great job in there, and we are also hoping that they can join the soccer class soon because the soccer season is just one month away from now and we are all excited for that because this year we are really looking forward to get in the playoffs.

Halloween

This weekend I'm hoping attend to a party at my friend's house where there is going to be a lot of people, and friends from other schools, I was also thinking to go to sixth street after the party with my girlfriend and some friends.

I'm also really excited to celebrate The Day of the Death, many people from Mexico and other Latin countries celebrate this ritual, Mexican bakeries all over the country offer the delicious pan de muerto, these breads are place on the altars and taken to the tombs in the graveyard.

I'm hoping that everything goes right this weekend and that nothing bad happens, because usually during this time of the year, many people drive when they are drunk and as a result of that they cause many accidents that sometimes they end up in the death of innocent people.

The next two days will also be very important because on August 2, is the date where Mexican and Latin people celebrate "El dia de los muertos" the day of the death in which many people go to worship their ancestors, where people go to the cemeteries and build altars containing their favorite food and beverages of their deceased.

It seems like this year it's going to be a lot more excited than the years before because many people has already been planning on what they are going to do for those days.

Chicharito

Today's post is dedicated to one of my favorites soccer players, Javier Hernandez commonly known as "Chicharito" (Spanish: little pea), is a Mexican footballer who plays as a forward for Manchester United, being the first Mexican to do so.

He previously played for Mexican club Guadalajara. He made his debut for the Mexico national football team in September 2009 in a match against Colombia and represented them at the 2010 FIFA World Cup scoring two goals against Bolivia.

On 11 June 2010, Hernández made his FIFA World Cup debut during the opening game of the 2010 tournament against South Africa in a 1-1 draw, and he scored his first competitive goal on 8 August 2010, scoring United's second goal in the 3–1 victory over Chelsea in the 2010 FA Community Shield.

He's my role model because, he was always trying hard to get where he is now and this encourages me to keep on playing soccer and hopefully make it into a soccer team, many people from my family tells me to do what I like and that is exactly what I'm going to do, I'm going to follow my dreams, because one of the reasons that makes me no to give up is my family.

My Birthday

This week it's been very special for me because I just turned seventeen years old on Sunday, I had a small birthday party at my house, I was really happy because all my family gathered together to celebrate my birthday, It's one of the occasions where you want to reunite with all your family and to have a really good time with them .

My aunt was in charge of the food and she really surprised when she made some enchiladas for me, and I was really grateful to her for worrying about me and cooking food for all guests.

I got some really cool presents for my birthday, one of them was a pair of cleats for soccer, everybody in my family knows that I love to play soccer and that nothing would make me more happy than getting a soccer ball and a pair of soccer cleats for my birthday.

The next day I had to wake up unfortunately early because I had to go school and take a quiz for my chemistry class that would to helped me to pass that class because I was failing with a fifty five and the end of the first six weeks was just three days away from that day, one of the good things about that day was that we played a small scrimmage and that happily we won the game with a hat trick that I made, and nothing made me happier, that when I got to see my girlfriend after school, I was happy because she had not talked to me in a while because she was mad at me for a little argument that we had, but now everything it’s back in its place and I’m really happy because of that.

RIP James Hinojosa

Today I don't have anything else to say but RIP, James Hinojosa, a high school student and a really big friend of mine. It happened near Crockett High School after getting off from school and heading to the rail line to get to his house. The train was coming around the bend when it hit him, and unfortunately he died.

All that I want to say is that he will always be in our memories and we will never forget him. He was one of those friends that will help you whenever you need help and that always be there when you need him. Earlier that day when the accident happened, I had a class with him and we partnered up together to do a project. When I sat next to him he shook my hand and asked me how was I doing? And I answered that I was okay and I told him that "Today is going to be a great day because I am going to play soccer with my brothers. And he also told me that he could not wait to get home and go skating with his friends.

This is a really big tragedy, not only for me but for all of the community, where we all need to get together and hope that he can rest in peace and also hope the best for his family and all of his friends and that none of these tragedies happen again.

We all are going to miss you James Hinojosa.

Independence of Mexico

Last week was very excited for me and for many other people too because we celebrate the Independence of Mexico it is a really important day for all of Mexican people because that's one of the things that we should be proud of, it is a symbol that identify us and what makes us unique from anybody else.

The next day we woke up very late and sinc

On Sunday my friends and I had a little party at my house and we had lots of food such as enchiladas,mole and some tamales, very typical food for all Mexican people. We gathered all together and we watched movies, play games, we had a great time together.

e we were very tired we decided to go out and eat at some Mexican Restaurant, I decided to eat some tacos and my brother some enchiladas that were looking very delicious, by afternoon we decided to go to play soccer with my cousins and spend some time with them because I have not seen them in a while, and I thought that it would be a very good idea to hang out together and have a very good day.

The saddest day in my life

Last Thursday I had a really bad day, first because I needed to get my physical exam and when I got to the clinic, there was a doctor that told me that he could not sign my physical because he said that I had a heart problem and that I could not be playing soccer anymore so just to make sure, he sent me with a cardiologist so that he could check my heart and see if I could to still keep playing soccer.

Today I don't feel good because I'm start thinking that the doctor was right on telling me that I was sick and that I could not play soccer anymore, because yesterday while I was playing soccer with my friends I started to feel bad and all sudden I just got short of breath and I just stopped playing and went straight to my house.

For the first time in my life I feel a little bit disappointed of myself and probably also losing all my hopes on trying to be a professional soccer player, I hope that all this bad stuff goes away sooner and that hopefully I can keep playing soccer.

Soccer

I'm an athlete and a really good soccer player too, I practice and work out a lot to have a very good physical condition. I've decided to try out for a mexican soccer team called "Atlas" a team composed of many young players, and that is one of the reasons why I would like to try out for that team because I know that I have a least one chance to get in the team, but in order to that I need to do that, first I have to get graduated from High School and then go back to Mexico.

This weekend I've been planning with my friends to go to play soccer to Soccer Zone and may be stay there for two hours and then probably go to eat. Monday was a very long day for me because I had to go to all my boaring classes, math, science, and US History.

Also on sunday I'm hoping to go get my physical for start playing soccer with all my friends and also I was thinking on going to buy my new cleats for the next season, I'm really excited about this year I'm hoping to best player this soccer season.

This weekend I've been very busy getting ready for the summer and one of the best things that I can do is to review for the finals and get a good grade so I can get credit for this semester. I'm really excited because of the end of the school year.

I had so much fun this year and that is what makes me sad to say goodbye to all those things that happened to me during all this time. I think that I'm also going to miss school and many of my friends, there are many good and bad things that happened to me this year, and I hope they can happen to me again.

I'm very excited to become a junior next year and to keep playing soccer for the soccer team and hopefully get to playoffs, something that we could not get this year but we hope to make it to them next year.

This week it's been very sad for me, Yesterday while I was in the soccer class,I got injured. I was running along with another player when suddenly I tried to slide tackle on him, but my hand got stuck on the grass and that is where I hurt my hand, then after injuring my hand, we were losing by two to zero. Then, at the last minute, we scored the last goal of the game, and finally the game was over with a score of two to one against us.

The saddest part of this is that we were undefeated, and also my friend missed so many goals in front of the goal that made us lose the game. The next game we are playing some easier teams, so I hope I can score more goals, so I can be the best scorer in the tournament. Right now, I have scored 14 goals; that puts me maybe in second place.

This weekend I'm also practicing for another soccer team where the season is about to start and my team is really excited to play, and to win the tournament.

This week was very titing for me I've been playing soccer all this week with all my friends and cousins, I'm also very excited because the end of the school year is getting closer and closer, and I think I'm going to get into a soccer team with some of my friends that invited me to join their team and I hope I can have time to do that.

I'm also excited because the world cup soccer will soon start in June, I'm not going to miss any games starting with the first game that will be Mexico against an African team that many people think will be exciting.

One of my dreams in my life is to become a professional soccer player and because of that I've been practicing every day, working hard and trying my hardest. I think I will make it.

This is been a very long week for me because, many of my teachers are giving us a review for the TAKS test. They are very important for me to pass because last year when I took these tests I didn't pass them.

I'm also a little bit happy because this weekend I'm going to play soccer with all my friends from the school. We said we we're going to gather at soccer zone half of the day then we are planning to go to my friend's house to play video games and to watch movies. I'm thinking that my girlfriend will get mad for not visiting her for five days. I'm not going to play video games--I'd rather go with her to go to watch some movies, and spend some time with her.

During the next few days I will try to get focused on my TAKS tests, so that is why I'm taking this weekend to rest and to study a lot because I don't want fail my TAKS test.

This weekend it's being very busy for me, first of all because taks is just around the corner and I have to get ready for it, during the last few days I being studying a lot to get ready for that and hopefully pass all of them.

Last year I had a really hard time on passing my classes and I failed the math test for only a few questions, but I think that this year I will do much better and hopefully I can pass it, some things that help me out to pass my classes is that the teachers really encourage me to keep trying harder and harder, and to never give up on your dreams.

Also this weekend I had so much fun playing soccer in the soccer class, we are playing a tournament in the class with a total of twelve teams, and on each team five players, four players playing in the field in and one substitute, each game will last for about fifteen minutes.

Unfortunately the first game that I played another guy kicked me on my knee, and put me out of the game I was sad even tough we won two to zero, the next week we are playing a really tough team called Roma and hopefully we can beat them.

A sad weekend

This weekend it's being very bored for me, first of all because this weekend while I was playing soccer with all my friends one of them slide tackle on me and hurted my knee that will leave me out of the tournament from the school.

This weekend I'm planning to go to Dallas,Tx to visit my family and stay there for two days, we will be visiting many places there one of them will be the zoo.

Back to school

Tired, ecxited and unforgettable, these are some of the words to describe how I'm feeling right now after springbreak, I did so many things during springbreak like going to visit my friends and family and we had so much fun.

The next few days I went to visit my uncle that lives on Dallas,TX he made a party on his house, and he also cook so many for us, and later on we went to swim with all our cousins, he also drove me to some really big soccer fields, where we played soccer on a small side of the field

This weekend it's being full of surprises for me because spring break, it's getting closer and closer. All my friends are very excited about that and are planning to spend most of the time playing soccer at soccer zone.

The last spring break, I spent most of the time at soccer zone playing soccer with all my friends. The most fun of the spring break time was that my friends and I had so much fun together. One thing that makes me sad is that we only have one game left to play.

I will miss all my friends because when you are on the soccer or any team your teammates are always are trying to help you out if you need help. Perhaps Saturday will be my last game because I don't know if I will be able to play soccer next year.

This weekend it's being very tired for me, our soccer season seems to be getting over we are still practicing very hard to win a least one game, even tough we only have one game left, our last game will be on House park on saturday morning.

We had a game yesterday where both teams wanted to win, at first it seemed to be like we were going to win the game, but then everything else changed when we got scored on,the funny thing about this is that righ just when I came out of the field the other team scored three goals in a row.

I always wanted to go to the playoffs but now it seems to be very hard to come true, sometimes I think on going to another school and play for them but I have some very good friends in the school as well in the team that support me a lot, I hope the next year can be more excited for us, and hopefuly we can go to the playoffs.

This weekend it's being very tired for me I have being playing a lot of games for the school, where I always play more than fifty minutes, running all the time at top speed my teamates and I are always trying the hardest we can but for some reason we just can't win any games sometimes we think that the reason because of we loos is because of the referees.

We have many young people in the team that hoping for the next few years they can get to the playofs or a least win some more games than we are doing right now, I tought this year was going to be more exciting because of all of the young peole that we have in the team.

Other thing that I did was to go to church and to visit my uncle, there we have some dinner and we also had some games to play and I thing that was the most exciting day of my life.

A Lovely Weekend

This weekend it's being very fun and tired for me, tired because my teamates and I are being practicing a lot for the team so that way we can get better and win some games because we really need to win some points for not be on the last place.

Also this weekend was full of surprises for me because many of the people around me show me how much they love me and care about me starting with my girlfriend we went out to the movies and went dinner to a Restaurant, later on I took her to her house where we stayed to play some games till the midnight, definitely that was one of the most ecxiting days of my life.

I think that valentine day is a good day to be and share thr things with the people that you like and you want to be with, where everybody talks about their feelings for somebody else and sometimes tell how much they love that person.

This weekend it's being very fun and at the same a little bit sad because of the accident that happen to this profesional soccer player named Salvador Cabanas and the week after that happen his teammate Juan Carlos Silva also got shot on his leg, after some people aproach him and try to steal his car, the good thing is that the bullet did not affect that much his leg but now both of the players are ok and I hope that they are also ready to play soccer again becaus many funs like me are are waiting for seeing them play.

One concerned that many people has is that the violence in Mexico does not stop and that all kinds of people are dying people like kids, woman and the old people, including actors, teachers, if the police in Mexico does not stop this soon more people is going to die.

Tragedies in the world

Haity's tragedy: It's being two weeks after an earthquake happened in that country, and as they are find more people dead other people is suffering hunger, diseases, and violence.

Many peole think they have enough to survive during this time, but the true is that there is still some peole that need our help so don't wait to see what happened the day tomorrow, because you don't know when you are going to need help.

I also want to talk about what happened on monday in Mexico City, a profesional soccer player named Salvador Cabanas got shot in the head while he was in a bar with his family, the reason why it happened is because they were arguing about why he was not scoring goals for the team, I think that this shows how much violence is happening in Mexico, and that nobody it's secure from it.
