Prom



I was going to attend the last event of the school’s event.  It was the first time and the last one.  I was really happy and excited to go to prom.  I got dressed up, my sister helped me out to do my hair, and the make up.  I was ready to go.  But I was late and the when I arrived to the place they did not let me get in.  I was mad because it was not possible that I would not get in to the party and I had paid my ticket to get in.  I just saw my boyfriend’s face.  He looked at me with a funny face and we walked to the car.  We stayed in the car for five minutes and the security guy came up to us and he asked us what we were doing out in the parking lot.  He told us that we have to go inside the party.  We told him that the principal did not let us go inside.  I never will forget that moment; it was funny and at the same time was awful.  I started laughing of what just happened to me.  Instead of being happy at the party I was going back to my house.  My friends were waiting for us inside and I told them that we couldn’t go in as a result of getting late to the prom.  They went to talk to the principal and convinced him.  The most unforgettable moment was when I dance the song “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing.”  I will never forget those moments that are alive in my heart.
They called us that we can enter the party.  We came back to the party and had fun with my friends because thanks to them we enjoyed prom.  I realized that if I had come early to the party I was having so much fun.  For an instance I felt that I was out.  The party was almost over and it was only one hour left.  But still I was enjoying the party, I was happy that I could be sharing the last time together with my friends and my boyfriend.  The night was fancy and I adored everything that was at the party.  Then, we took pictures, ate food and dance the hour that we had.  Moreover, my friends and I left the party and have dinner.  We said goodbye and keep everyone of them in our hearts and forever.   The next day I realized something that I will never forget.  It was that whenever I had to do something important I have to be ready before time hits me up.  I have to get things done on time, but if I do things at the last minute it will be a mess.  I don’t have to wait until the last minute to do my things.  Also, thanks to my friends I had fun at the party and I know they are very important in my life.

Cadet

When I was in my senior year in James Monroe High School I joined a great program.   This program is about “Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps”.  First of all, I entered the program because it caught my attention.  The way students dressed up and the activities that they made were different from the Physical Education class.  Because I loved to play soccer and run a lot, I finally joined them.  But I loved to wear the green uniform once a week.  The Sergeants disciplined all of the students where I had to learn how to march and how to give the salute to the Sergeants who visited our class.  Also, they decided that I could be in a competence so I practiced during the morning running because the competence was coming soon.  One of the Sergeants trained me with the running part during the morning a whole week. Every day I was getting better and better.
The day of the test I was completely ready to take it.  There were three different activities that we had to accomplish. For example, the first test activity was running.  I was the first person that made it.  The second part of the test was the crunches and I did great.  Also, the part of the pushups was really hard for me because just holding in my arms and feet and getting down to the floor hurt me so much.  I was super tired because I spent all the day in the class taking and doing the exercises.  It was the thirteen times that our school was participating with JROTC program.  After two months the school got the results from the program and again our school was the winner for the thirteen times.  During the month of November 11, 2010 we went to march in San Fernando Parade.  It was an awesome experience for me because I shared with my friends.  I met new people; I was around with the persons who were in Navy and the Armed Forces and much more.  The tidy uniforms and the soldiers were arranged in different rows ready to march.  Before the first group started marching three air planes flew over us to give the signal that we were ready to march.  Once again it was incredible for me marching with the people from high school in this event where people waited to see you and yelled to your school.  I enjoyed the march because it was the first time that I was participating as a cadet in the school.
 I had a lot of fun moments and I was in most of the events whether the events were a small or huge thing.  Moreover, at the end of the semester we had a ceremony where all of the students who participated had been recognized with something.  I was recognized with three medals and certificates.  One of the medals was that I had participated in the school program.  The other medal was that I ended in second place of the competence and the last one was for being an athlete and by competing.  Finally, I was really impressed how many things I learned in the class.

Camping

During this week I went to Malibu Beach.  I passed by some interesting places.  I enjoyed being in the beach. I had so much fun there.  First, I climb to a mountain that is full of sand.  It was really hard to climb up, but I get to the top of the mountain.  I was sitting on the hill and looking at the sunset.  My boyfriend and I enjoyed going down the sand hill.   The sand was really hot and our feet almost burned.  Running and walking at the beach made me feel so good.  I stand at the pier to see the dolphins and the starfish.  Also, I got in the sailing boat for a little trip on the water.  The sail boat was small and scared me because the boat was moving horrible.  It was the first time that I got on a sail boat.  Seeing the infinity of the water was scary for me because I don’t know how to swim and I don’t like being in the water for long time.  Secondly, I like to challenge myself because I don’t like the water. 
Then we came back and we made some lunch and rest for a little bit.  Also, we camped there at the Malibu beach.  Well during the night I went to the beach.  Walking and hearing the sounds of the waves were so beautiful.  After a while I sat in the shore of the beach and looking at the moon that was brilliant and lighting the water of the sea.  All of the friends that went to the beach made a bonfire.  We stayed really late during the night until 3:30 a.m. it was cold and the breeze of the waves felt so good.  The following morning we woke up and had some breakfast before the sun appeared.  Later one of my friends played the guitar during the morning the song “beautiful day.”  All of them were sitting beside each other trying to warm up ourselves with the bonfire again.  We started running around in the shore while the sun was coming up and the orange rays of the sun.  That day was extremely hot and we enjoyed playing in the water, moreover we got so tired of being in the water for hours.  I picked up back small rocks.  Before we left the beach the police got there because there was a fire that we caused by mistake.  We tried to put the fire off.  We brought buckets of water from the beach that helped us out. I was in panic that the fire might cause a huge problem.
Finally, the camping was funny.  I was pleased with the food and games. I woke up in the morning the second day and it felt so good the breezes of the beach.  The only thing I didn’t like was when the fire was on and everybody was yelling desperately. Also I couldn’t swim, but I enjoyed the shore and waves. I always keep in my mind that I could go so far on sea.
