My favorite living creature is my dog Mika. He’s a Great Dane and when he stands up he’s taller than me. Since I was very young Scooby-Doo was my favorite cartoon, and I dreamed of having my own Scooby to go on adventures with. My dream came true because although my dog looks intimidating, he’s scared of everything and always hides under me when he’s afraid.

I love nature and I’m always trying to stay close to it. Living in the city, it’s always the best when I get to get away from paved streets and explore the woods. I really enjoy climbing trees but I always have a hard time coming down. The only thing I hate about nature are the creepy crawlers, especially when they try to land on me. Not cool.

My family is VERY important to me. My parents are the only family I have because every one else is back in Chile. I love them so much even though they have too much fun embarrassing me. We always make time during our busy schedules to discuss our day or talk about how we’re doing. My parents are just really cool.

My favorite pass time is playing music. I’ve always tried to learn as many instruments as possible because I think that it’s so beautiful how you can make sweet music from them. I can play guitar, bass, the bagpipes, clarinet, and trombone. My favorite is trombone! It’s such a bizarre looking instrument but the sounds that thing can make are sweeeeet.

Sons of Anarchy is currently my favorite t.v. series. It has all the things I like: motorcycles, bearded men, tattoos, explosions, and bearded men. My favorite character was killed off though, so I haven’t been keeping up with it. Hopefully I’ll get a motorcycle license soon so I can pretend I’m cool like these guys.

My favorite band is Black Flag. They can be described as really angry punk. Their songs are fast, fun and always seem to show exactly how I’m feeling. I went to their show September 19, and I almost cried from joy/excitement. I was a total fan girl! Their songs always seem to cheer me up and make me want to dance.

My friends are the best. They’re always there for me and they usually know how to cheer me up. Even though we don’t see each other as often as we used to, we all know in our hearts that we would do anything for each other.  They’ve helped me sort out some “tough” life problems! “all for one, and one for all”

I’ve always enjoyed reading books. I adore reading books, but only when I get to choose them and I don’t have to write an essay after. I wish I had more time for my books but school has taken over all my free time for reading. Books are a way of escaping my world and be inside someone else’s world, whether I might end up in Middle Earth or inside Holden Caulfield’s head, it’s always a different adventure.
