Getting To My Roots.

If I had the decision to travel anywhere I the world, I'd definitely go to Mexico since both of my parents came from there but different parts. My mom is from a small town called Buenavista in Guerrero. My dad on the other hand came from the city & both came from definitely two different lifestyles. My mom grew up to become the queen of her small town, which is one of the reasons I'd want to visit her small town because I'd wanna know where she was when she had that memory. My dad grew up with many step brothers and sisters but he always mentioned these huge lake where'd they all sneak off to go swim in. "The water feels so refreshing, that it clears you mind from all the problems around you" my dad once said to me. He told me many stories of how my aunt and uncles would always be the one trying to hold him back from jumping the top rock into the lake, but in the ne they'd all just end up doing it as well. Just thinking about the experience they had makes me just wanna get up and go and feel that water against me. Buenavista is surrounded by mountains, or large bodies of land. My mom too said there was a huge waterfall by her house and that her siblings and her would go there to shower since many of them back then didn't have water to actually shower. My uncles had a large role that they once had used to climb to the other side of the house to an abandoned  house roof where'd they forget their problems and come up with solutions to them. In the end they needed up tying the rope to a tree close to the waterfall and would hold on and drop into the large body of water. Hearing all those exciting and adventurous stories makes me really wanna see and know what my parents once felt, and make me feel like we'd have a stronger bond. So that's why Mexico out of all the places in the world would be where I would go.

Behind Harry Potter.

The story of Harry Potter comes with I believe the theme of courage. In the book there are parts where Harey Potter, Hermoine Granger, Ron Weasly, all sacrifice their lives and even their education at Hogwarts. From the scene of being in the bathroom all three attempting to escape viscous and terrifying troll. With the attempt of trying to keep Hermoine from getting hurt, Ron casts spells on the troll to take him down, while Harry also begins to take action to not letting the troll hurt his true friends. Taking the risk of trying to di over the truth took a lot of braverymp, courage and really the guts to do what they did. Lord Voldemort was around Hogwarts trying to become in power and Harry was not going to permit that. Harry battled his long life enemy even if he knew his life would be in risk of saving many of those who didn't deserve to be taken. Defeating finally " You- Know- Who" reviled being of no one else could get hurt, Harry was then recognized for his bravery and courage along with his friends Hermoine & Ron. So that is why I came to think that the theme of this book would be that it is courage due to the many scenes that happened with many proving that point.

Sorcers Stone Vs. The Pregnancy Project.

Gaby Rodriguez and Harry Potter are two teenagers, but from two completely different worlds. While Gaby lives in the real world with real life problems let's say with her parents, or friends. Harry goes against evil teachers, spells, and against "You-Know-Who", or Lord Voldemort. While they both face the fact of feeling underestimated, since they're just kids they both make the decision of taking matters into their own hands and trying taking care of situation themselves. They both suffer situations with parents situations with their parents or in Harry's case, step parents. While one also faces a fantasy one faces the real world, with this horrifying thing we called today "society". Both coming from two different worlds, they are both still teenagers and go thru a situation where they'd have to take matters into their own hands,

Resolution.

The year of 2016 has began and only so little can be properly done with time. Something I'd want to work on his trying to be more organized with things, meaning at school home, anywhere. With that my daily life would become a lot easier since unlike now I wouldn't always have to be asking my mom where things were or create a mess trying to find that one thing. Some ways I plan to get to actually make this happen this year is starting to place things where they belong, get rid of things I no longer need or use, or give it to someone who does. Take a day, clean here and there, and try organizing things to make life ten times easier. I'm looking forward to this since I think with this resolution it will be a lot more easier to complete work on time, and not having to suffer from those struggles.

Sorcerers Stone Part One.

            Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone, a book written by J.K Rowling. Beginning to read chapter one baby Harry's parents had been killed by " You- Know- Who" or as Professor Mcgonagal stated. or more specifically "Voldemort". The term "You-Know-Who" was used since she is unable to speak Voldemort's name out. Along with the parents of Harry, "You-Know-Who" made the attempt of also taking Harry's life away but, failed. The news was heard, and wizards at Hogwarts immediately took action.  A family living in Surrey England who'd claimed to have known the Potters for quite some time were the only hope to where Harry had a place close enough to call home. The Dursleys, were a family with a thought of keeping the way others saw them, and having an acceptable look which they have been keeping and attempting to stay with. Professor gave the devastating news to Dumbledore, who had insisted to having Harry stay with the Dursley's, since unfortunately they had no one else in mind. The decision was taken, Harry would be left with the Dursley's and would hopefully be in good hands. Hagrid, a giant who'd been carrying Harry showed up at the Dursley's, along with Dumbledore & Professor Mcgonagal already being there. Harry was placed at the doorstep of the Dursleys house, along with an explanation letter & the three, parted ways hoping the best for Harry.
