Writing Prompt

"What road-trip would you take if you suddenly could?"

If I could take a sudden road-trip I would go to Cancun, Mexico. Ever since I was little I always wanted to go there. I speak Spanish fluently, so I think if I went there it would be so fun because I could speak Spanish to people there and they would look at me and say, "esa morenita si habla espanol!" I just really need a vacation, and Cancun would be the best road-trip ever! I would only go to other states if I was able to speak the language there. Since I only speak Spanish, I would only go to Mexico.

My Life 20 Years From Now

I'm 40 years old, and my name is Katrina. I have 6 kids, with my lovely husband Gilbert. We have a 2 story house, that I painted baby pink. I'm a pediatrician, because I love kids very much. My husband is a teacher, because he also loves kids. I have a jeep, and my husband has a Chrysler 300. I still have my best friend from the GED program which is Ciara. We are still very close. Her husband Josh and my husband Gilbert are really close too. I'm actually the God mother of her children! I don't really talk to anyone else because their bums now. They are into drugs again just like it was 20 years ago. They never changed. Well that's my life now, I really miss my life 20 years ago when I was in school. I feel like I grew up too fast, and now I'm almost a grandma. My daughter is 23 years old and pregnant with a little boy. She is due in 2 more months. I love my life right now though!

Super Power.....

If I could have a super power, I would choose the super power Matilda has. She can look and focus on something and that thing will do what she thinks. If she wanted the light on, she would just point at it and then it would turn on. I would choose this one because I could sit down and be lazy, and have things done for me, instead of having to get up and turn the TV on, or turn the light off. My life would be so darn awesome. I'm pretty sure I would get lazy, but I really wouldn't mind that. If I woke up late for school, I could use my super powers to help me get done faster, so I would get to school on time.

This I Believe.....

I believe that children are a gift from God. Because children are very special. There are some women who cant have children, because of certain reasons like maybe their body doesn't have the things that it's supposed to have, in order to make a baby, or they could be physically ill. These types of things mean they couldn't ever have a child. Having children is very special. Having a child is a gift!

When I was 16, I was doing drugs, drinking, and sleeping with guys I didn't even know. Then I met the father of my children and I partied with him,and still did drugs. Then I slept with him, and things happened.Then I found out I was pregnant, and during my whole pregnancy I was planning out how I was going to change my life for my baby. Since I was only 16, I was really scared to have a baby. I was still in school, and doing really well. I kept thinking that as soon as I told my parents, they were going to kill me.I thought wrong because my mom was upset at first, but later she was very happy for me; she supported me all the way. Then after my daughter was born, and I saw her beautiful face, I knew I could change my whole life for her.

So I changed my life, and now it's much different in alot of fantastic ways. I don't do drugs, party or sleep with any guy. I also have good self-esteem. So anyways, it was like God knew that me having a child would help me do things much better in my life which was correct! Children aren't just a gift from God, they're also a blessing!

Children are definitely a gift from God. I always thank the man up above for giving me my two beautiful children. Without them who knows where I would be. I know if I didn't have my children I would still be running the streets, doing drugs, and just living a lost life. Children are the best gift that anybody could ever have!

Things I Dislike And Like About Salem

Some things I hate about Salem are the gangs. It bothers me that all these little teenagers think they're hard, saying they're in gangs. All about color, and race. I don't want my kids in school and influenced by gangs, or people that make bad choices. And some things I like about Salem is that Obama is our president. Hopefully we won't hear the "N" word ever again. I have been called that word plenty of times, and trust me it's very annoying, and it also makes me really mad. But other than people that are rude like that, Salem is not that bad. I also love it in the summer time because my whole family gets together and goes camping, or we have barbecues, which is very nice. I love it when my whole family gets together, it's so nice to talk with everybody in my family.

Why I Believe Standing Up For My Friends And Family Is Important

I believe It's important to stand up for my friends and family because they are special to me, and they have a place in my heart. If somebody was rude and ignorant to me, I would like it if my friends or family stood up for me too. That's why I would do the same back to them. I'm the type of person that if you mess with my friends or family, or just somebody that I love, then you got to mess with me. I'm not going to let it slide for nothing! One time my little cousin was having girl problems with someone at school, and she called me because she was scared. So the next day I picked her up from school, and ran my mouth off to that girl. And apparently it worked because she never said a word to my cousin since. The same thing happened to one of my friends before, but we had to actually fight these girls because they were trying to jump my home girl, and I got in to help her out. My little saying is, " If you're going to start something with me, my family, or friends, then you better finish it, or I will." And I mean it when I say it.

Genocide

Genocide is people who have a series of killing people because of who they are, their race, and color. I think this stuff might happen because their sick in the head. Or they just have hate for other people. Another possibility could be that their trying to get back, like maybe that certain group of people messed around with their little group, so they are just trying to get back at them.

Having a Baby

Something I have experienced recently was having a baby.
Having a baby is not as bad as everybody says. Ya it
hurts and everything, but then again its actually really
cool, and worth it. After my baby was born, I was still in
pain. My stomach pain was the most outreageous pain
in the world. That's the only thing about having a baby that
I would regret. Then they grow up to be big brats! And
that's why I don't want any more kids at this time.

The world with no laws

If there were no laws I think this world would be a big disaster. When I say disaster I mean everybody would be doing whatever they want. It would be like we own the place. Young teenagers would be buying beer and buying drugs like candy. I think if there were no laws there would be alot of deaths because people would get away with anything they want. Its actually a good thing there are laws because if not like I said in the paragraph, this world would be a huge disaster. With laws, people are kind of controled, like they have rules, and most people obey the laws.
