Violence, what a hard word to describe or write about, but let me tell you that violence is so advance right now that we just can't stop it.There are gangs everywhere now; and people want to fight about any little reason.Some people instead of helping to cut the violence they make it worst.Some people blame it on the violent movies their children watch.
When I was in high school fights were cool, that's what people taught.My friends and I would just fight with girls if we didn't like them for any reason.Now, that I'm a mom I wouldn't like my child to do all the bad things I did when I was young and all for popularity.People don't realize that by harming some else they are also harming themself.People that are in gangs don't realize that they are hurting their family and their close ones.They think that instead they are helping them and not realize the harm they are doing to them and they town.
Since, the September 11, I've realized that there is more violence than I can remember.Saddam Hussain destroyed part of the United States and we should stop the wars before anyting gets worst.I know for a fact that violence is going to be something we have to learn to live with.RIGHT???

what I like more about my town???
To start out with I live in Gerber, but I was raised in Willows.I want to move back because I miss all my friends and all the activities I did with my sisters:like playing basketball,jump rope,dodge ball,and we would go to the park and swing(we loved to swing in the swings).Now I live about 50 to 70 miles away from my mom's house; and I really don't have time to go and visit them very often since I have two jobs now and I go to school.Willows is not a big town, and that's what I like about it.Its a calm town and everybody gets along quite well.On Fridays,Saturdays,and Sundays all of my friends and I would go and hang out at the movie theater.It's not a big theater like Chico's, but we had fun going there.Also it was fun because you knew everybody, so if you would go alone there was always someone there that you knew.
After 16 years living somewhere its hard to make the decision of moving somewhere were maybe you don't know anybody and you are not familiar were everything is at.But in Willows if you would move there you would know where everything is located, because everything is right in sight.Also you could as anybody and they would be happy to help you find what your looking for.I hope you would go and visit someday, but I have to tell you that it might look boring to you, but to me its my town Willows.

APPENDIX C
WRITE ABOUT A TIME WHEN YOU TRIED TO HOLD ON TO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING THAT WANTED TO BE FREE.
When I was 12 years old my dad came from working at the fields; and he had found a rabbit. We kept the rabbit for about 3 weeks.It didn't want to eat or drink anything. So my dad said that maybe he missed his wild living and that he would take him back to be free. My brother and I were very dissappointed, and we didn't want my dad to take Osito (that's what we named it), we felt like he was part of the family already. Then my dad explained to us why we had to let him go; and if we didn't he explained what would be the consequences. So we decided to let him go even tough it was very hard for us.
Days and weeks passed by we bought some other kinds of pets to forget about Osito, but it was impossible we knew from that day that Osito was going to live in our hearts forever. We would always pray for him to be ok. My brother would always give my dad some bunny food to give Osito just to make sure he was eating right and not starving. My dad would make sure that Osito would eat it. After two months we got used to not seeing Osito and not having him in our lives. But I know we will never forgive him because he still lives in our hearts.

APPENDIX B
WRITE FOUR TO FIVE WORDS OR TERMS THAT ONCE WERE UNKNOWN OR CONFUSSING TO YOU. EXPLIAIN HOW YOU LEARNED THEIR MEANING.
When I first came here I started to go to school here so I kind of learned all my English at school. Believe or not but English was my first language because I would go to school and speak English.When I would go play with my friends they would speak English too. It was hard for my brothers and I to communicate with my parents since they didn't speak English and all of our homework was in English.Then my mother saw how we would have trouble to communicate and she decided to go to and English class. The fisrts terms we heard her say were, How are you? What's your name? and My name is Alma. As you can see she started out learning the basic terms. Like everyone else that goes to learn English at a night class.RIGHT???

APPENDIX A
IF YOU ARE WORKING OR HAVE EVER WORKED WITH CHILDREN, WRITE A PARAGRAPH DESCRIBING THE GOOD OR BAD ASPECTSA OF THE JOB.
I been taking care of kids since I can remember.All my life I took care of my sisters and my brother while my parents went to work.Also when I turned 12 I took care of my godmother's two little girls and it is not easy to take care of kids, espesially if they are under 5 years old.The responsibilities are to feed them, play with them, if you are taking care of others make sure they don't fight,keep everything that is dangerous out of reach, and never leave them alone.Kids are very courios and they do things that they think are right.Taking care of kids is harder than taking care of your own.

The most difficult dicision......
I would say the the most difficult decision I made was deciding on getting married to young and becoming a mother. I decided to get married because I really loved my husband and I didn't feel like I was doing something wrong on getting married; but I think I should of waited to finish my career and have a good condition of living life.
My husband and Myself tought I couldn't have kids because and accident I had when I was about 9 to 12 years old. So, after my husband and I got married we talked about going to the doctor and looking for a solution, but about three months the news came that we were going to be parents. We would go to church and thank God for the miracle he gave us to become parents. Now we are waiting for me to finish my college then have more kids.
I now that for a lot of girls this decision is really hard, but for me it wasn't that hard. Becoming a parent, being a wife and a student is not easy at all. I now that we all think that being a mom is easy, but it is not especially if you want to work, go to school and continue on having fun. Because after becoming a parent you really don't have time to go out and have fun. That's why I advice all you young ladies to think it twice when a man asks you, "Would you marry me?"

Where would I go on my dream vacation?What would I do?
To tell you the truth my dream vacation would be Mexico, because when I came from Mexico I was about two years old and I haven't been there since. My sisters went about four years ago and they say its better than here.The beaches are bigger and the people are friendly. The only thing that made them feel sad; was that they are alot of people that live in the streets and ask for food when you drive by.
The part I would like to go is Acapulco or Puerto Vallarta. I have aunts there, but I don't remember them. I know that if I call them and ask them if my family and I could stay at their house for a couple of days they would let us.
If I get the chance to go I would go to all the stores and restaurants. Learn about their ways of living and how they party over there. I would like to go to all the night clubs and party till I pass out. I would also like for my husband and I to go to the beach and have a romantic night. With candles and a Mariachi by our side, I can just imagine the fun all three of us would have. Its like a dream come true.
