Time Capsule

Hello folks!
In the future, if you had the chance to go back in time to tell everyone about you and bring four things that represent you, what would you bring?

1. Bring something that would represent your childhood and family: I would bring a rope with a family photo. A rope because my family was very united. And the rope would reunite all of that big family. The photo I would bring to remember about them.
   
2. Something that would represent your culture and roots: I would bring a Brazilian flag. I am from Brazil so a flag would represent my culture and roots.
   
3. Bring something that would represent your accomplishments: I would bring a smile in a cardboard. I want to be happy, to make people happy. 
   
4. Something that would represent your legacy: I don't have a legacy yet. But by that time I would like to bring a little map. I would like to show the people the places where the people I helped live in the map, compared to where I live.
   
5. Where would you put: I would put everything in a little bag. So it can travel with me everywhere I go.

Tears

(!!!!!!!!!!Warning: really deep post!!!!!!!!!!!)

Hello,
As we are reading The Glory Field, which is a book that has a lot of motifs (patterns), we were suppose to write about a motif that appears in the book and in our lives.

And the motif I chose was tears.

I chose tears because, I am a dramatic girl. I cry when I am happy, I cry when I am said. Like in The Glory Field, I cry for he people I love.  I am from Brazil, not from California, I miss my friends and family all the time. And sometimes, when my room is dark and quiet, tears come out of my eyes because I miss the people I love.

I know is dramatic, but is who I am.

Child of the West?

Hello folks!

As you can see in the title, today I am here to answer if I am, or consider myself a child of the west. Well for me that is a question that can lead in multiple answers. I am from Brazil, not from the west. But as I studied a little more about it's history I felt that we all have a little bit of the west. I mean the people went to the west because they weren't happy with their life, and they did something about it. I fell that we all have to have that characteristic. If you are not happy about it, don't sit on the floor and wait for something to happen. Gandhi said once "Be the change you want to see in the world", no matter where are you from, do like the west folks did, if you are not happy about something do something to change it.

Child or Grown up?

Hey folks!
Have you ever felt like a man or woman? I mean for you guys that are children, have you ever felt like a man or a woman? Well, in the book we are reading, "The Glory Field", a child find himself as a man a lot of times. And that made me think if feeling like a woman have ever happened with me. I would love to say it had and tell you everything in details, but it have not. Sometimes i think that I am a woman, but the true is I am just a girl. I will be waiting my time to shine as a woman to come. But I have no rush, after all, we are children just one time in our whole life. That is one of the little things that don't happen again, so enjoy your childhood!

Future Identity

Hello bloggers!
Today I am here to make you guys think about the future. Think about your identity in the future. When you are old, like 75 years old and you have a lot of grandchildren, what do you want them to think about when they think about you? How do you wan them to remember your identity? Do you want them to remember you as the grumpiest grandma or as the kindest one? Maybe you want them to remember you as the best lawyer, maybe you want them to remember you as the coolest grandpa.
Well when I think about my grandpas and grandmas I think that they are the kindest, the funniest ones. The best biology teacher. I think that they are going to be there for me no matter what. And that is how I want my grandchildren to remember me.
I want them to remember me, I just don't want them to forget me. I want them to remember about the nice future moments that are coming. I also want them to remember me the way I am, the way I am going to be with them. Kind, helpful, a grandma that don't make them be ashamed of themselves when they are with me. A cool, funny and cute grandma.
I don't know what we are doing in the future, but I want it to be nice. And I want to have a lot of good memories when I am 75.  I just want to have lived all I had to live when I am very old. I want to make my life worth it. And is that how I want my grandchildren to remember me.

Identify your Identity

Hello everyone,
Today I am here to tell you a little bit about my identity.  What are three words that describe my identity?  I think that the three words might be:

• Kind: kind... Why kind? The true is I don't really know why kind. Maybe because I like to help everyone with everything I can.  I like to be kind to people. Maybe because I have disposition to help, to do what I need to do. Maybe because of this... Maybe because some people tell me I am kind, and I like to hear that. Well, I don't know why, but I know that I like to think I am kind. So, kind. 

• Help people: as I said in my change the world post, I like to help people. I know this is not a word, but it describes my identity. It describes how I am and what I like to do. It does not matter how, it does not matter who, it does not matter when. If I can help someone I will. And there is nothing no one can do about it. 

• little: I think the word little describes me because I am not tall, I am not loud, I don't have knowledge of everything. I am just a little girl in a giant world with so many questions and no answers. Looking for something that I will probably find with time.  A little girl in physical aspects, a little girl compared to the world. I am like a little plant, and the only way this little plant want to grow is forward. Finding answers and discovering something new about this giant world everyday.  

Change the world

Hello, guys.
Today I am here to answer a question that really interests me. How would you want to change the world if you could? We all have to agree that it is a really good question. I mean, I hope everybody wants to leave their mark in the world. As I have said in my last post I want to leave mine. But how?

I don't know how but I want to help people. It does not matter what they are giving me in exchange. I want to help them.
There are a lot of people in the world that don't have enough money to go to the school, buy cloths, or even food. People need help. And thinking about this if I could change the world, I would probably start a donation program, to help needy people. Although I don't like giving money to people, I would give them opportunity. I would give them healthy food, education, clothes anything they need. Look at this mother. She needs help and if I could I would help her. Wouldn't you do the same thing?

 I would probably start making something little by donating just to one place. But if I really want to change the world I need to make this grow, and someday be able to donate to all the world. People that don't have food, it does not matter if they are starving, they just can't think, "Oh, I am tired of not having money to buy food. Now is time to rain money for me to buy food." They just can't do that, right? We have too help them. Cause if not me, if not you, if not us, them who?
