Autobiography


When was in school there was a anti-drugs program named: DARE, and we had to write like a report about why shouldn't we use drugs. After we do that the police, who was in charge of us, decided to choose the best report, after reading all of them he chose mine.
I was very happy and nervous,too, because i had to read it in front of all the students, the next day I presented it and at the end the police gave me a medal.

The Goonies


Well, I'm going to talk about "Mikey", he is like the leader of the Goonies, he's the one who leads the others to One-Eyed Willie's treasure, I chose him because he's very determined, he knows what he can do, he wants to help not only his family but all the neighbors, and he's very brave 'cause he just go and look for the treasure without even knowing if it really exists.
He is the one who keeps some of the pearls and save all the houses from being destroyed.

Urban legend


Well there's a story that my father told me that talks about man who was walking back home at 2:00 a.m but there weren't any lights on the street, and for him to get to his house he had to go through a kind of forest, while he was walking he saw that he was going to a cliff, although he knew that was the way home and that there wasn't any cliff, he was scared but he decided to keep walking and when he stepped on the cliff has disappeared....
People say that witches are the ones who do that and they do it to men who go home very late.

My first time ridding a bike


Well first time I rode a bike was a complete disaster; because I fell every time I was on it although it had 2 extra wheels. And I lasted like a week to learn and once I knew hot to do it, I took off the 2 extra wheels but fell down like 200 times and I finally did it I decided to go down in a small hill, so I did it but I fell down and cried for 5 minutes and then I tried again, and I fell...again...(ha ha), and I cried for other 5 minutes and go again, and did that like for 30 minutes, but the problem was that every time I fell I hurt the same place* (knee) and at the end I could see my flesh And there was a lot of blood, and because of that now i have a scar on my knee.
