Cumbia Ecuadoriano

The following picture is a ecuadorian group that plays cumbia. This represents me a lot because I too am a musician. I play cumbia too with my band but these guys play it exquisitely. I tried posting the video but it does not allow me to unfortunately. But the chemistry of each musician playing in the video is great and you can tell that they are having fun and feeling the music. Just like me, I also like having fun when I’m playing, I can feel the beat, the rhythm, and sometimes I would dance too while playing.

Hello there, my name is Jeffrey. I live in Maspeth queens. I’ve been living here for all my life. I High School was Robert F. Wagner, it was located in Long Island City. I would consider myself a funny and caring person. I like to make sure everyone is involved during certain things like partys, playing video games. I’m the second to last child in the family. In total its 5 siblings including me. Something I like to do during my free time is going out to play with my friends. We play soccer and volleyball. I also like to just sit and play the piano to relax myself. I find it really peaceful and it takes away the anxiety. I’m looking forward for this next big step for me. In the picture below it is my cat who 12 years old. Her name is Bella.

The short story, ” The Final Day ” by Edward P. Jones, we could see Imagery being depicted throughout the story. The description of what the child was wearing that day and what were her surroundings made me be able to picture that in my mind. We can see that the little girl’s mother wants her child to receive a good education. We also get a revelation that the Mother does not have any sort of education as we could read from this quote of the story, “I can’t read it. I don’t know how to read or write, and I’m askin you to help me.” The reason that her mother is desperately trying to get her daughter into school is because she does not want her child to have the struggles she has. She wants her child to be successful and smart. I can really connect to this because my mother she could barely speak english and somewhat understands it but she wants me and my siblings to succeed in life. She constantly pushes us hard to keep learning. This is the main reason why I will do my best to achieve that goal my mother wants us to do.
