REFLECTION

      This story I’m going tell everybody it's very sad and has made in impact on my life on how is I see it. And its also very personal I only said this a couple times because hard to talk about I still get tears in my eyes just by writing it or even just by thinking it. Well it almost going to be about 5 years since this happen. I lost one of my best friends since I was like 5 years old or even smaller. I consider him as one of my brother. Its funny cause people will ask us what we were and we will always say we were brother and sister and still say it now. Well don’t know if I want to get into detail on how this happen but maybe I will all depends on how it all turns out. The way he die was horrible he got shot at shoot out. I was there walking with him when it happen I was lucky I didn’t get shot but he wasn’t that lucky. The sad part of all this is that I only had a couple moment to say goodbye to him.  This event happening has made me see the world in a different view to not take anything for granted. And to understand that life is not always there. The impact of this moment was really hard but it open my eyes to see that life is a gift and to never take it for granted. I try to live my life to the fullest. 

REFLECTION

Life's Backpack 

In the passage I just read in Ms. Bogan blog. Was very nice and heartbreaking because it’s true. We don’t always know what people are going throw in their life. As for me I have a lot going on in my life. Put it like this what carry in my life backpack is a lot of things. For instance I carry in there my families’ worries and also my personal worries and also my job and couple of my friends worries too. For my family’s worry is most that everyone okay that no one get sick or anything like that. Them just to be happy with each other and understanding and like paying on time and not putting everything on my mom. For my personal worries is my school and trying to make everyone on of me proud of me. And to also just managing time with school and work and also getting good grade and doing all my assignment on time. Well my job worries are little more stressful then most people because I have a lot going on because I own my two jobs and I mange them myself with my mom. But still it’s hard on us. As for my friends worries are not that bad I just have to always help them out and stuff like when I have hardly have time for them but still mange to help them out that much when I can do it. That’s what I carry on my life backpack just a lot of stress and also a lot of pens and pencils and makeup but that it.
