My Tattoos & their Story

My Tattoos

I have a total of seven tattoos. Many people question why I have so many at such a young age. The reason I have them is because they all have their own meaning. My first tattoo I got was a semicolon on my hip. It is an important tattoo for me because it's a daily reminder of what it represents. The semicolon is a reminder to keep going and not to give up. My second tattoo is a heart on my lower back. It is a matching tattoo I have with my best friend. I got it because she is an important person in my life that I wouldn't want to lose. It's a way to appreciate her for always being there for me no matter what since the day we met. My third tattoo is my biggest tattoo which is 

This my tattoo that represents my family. It is my third tattoo.

on my outer thigh on my left leg. My tattoo is an anchor covered in four flowers. Each flower is a different color, each color is the favorite color of each of my family members because it represents them. I chose an anchor because my family is my support group. No matter what, we are always there for each other. My fourth tattoo is an arrow that actually goes backwards and forward again. It represents my fifth tattoo which is a quote around it that says "You must face setbacks to be able to move forward". My sixth tattoo is my mother's birthday in roman numerals on my chest. My last tattoo is a small wave on my finger, which I have matching another a close friend that I grew up. It represents that even when we get knocked down by life issues, we are there for each other. All of my tattoos are important to me because they all have meaning. 

Best Season of the Year

The Best Season of the Year

    I like the four seasons of the year, but I like some more than others. I prefer Summer and Spring over Winter and Fall. But my favorite season is Summer. Spring is nice weather, it is not too cold or not too hot. It's a nice season that most people like. It's when the flowers begin to blossom and the warm weather begins to come back.  Another season that is great is Fall. It's great weather because you still get some heat but you also have a nice breeze. It even looks pretty outside because leaves start to fall, everything starts to calm down. The one season I don't really like is Winter. It begins to be really cold and windy. It usually snows a lot in the winter which I do not like. It's when all the layers of clothes come out, jackets, boots, etc. I tend to dread going out because it is so cold.

   
My favorite season is Summer. It is the best season of the year. Everything is just better. The weather is great because it is warm. It's easier to cool off from the heat in the summer than it is to stay warm in the winter. Plus you get to do more things like walk around more, go to the beach, pool, etc. You get to enjoy more things that aren't as good in the seasons. You can enjoy things like water, ice cream, smoothies, and more. Students get a break off during this season, which we all appreciate especially because it's the best time to travel. The days get longer so you can do more, you get some beautiful nights as well where it is not too hot but not too cold. There is more things you can do like go to street fairs, festivals, hiking, etc. I also like this season because I get to celebrate my birthday. I prefer Summer over the other seasons because in my opinion it the best season of the year. 

Favorite Class

    My favorite class of LESP is physical education which is also known as gym. My teacher is Mrs. Lopez. I have her class everyday for 4th period which is from 10:29 to 11:14. Throughout her class we do different physical activities.We always warm up first and then we practice a sport that is a part of the unit. This class gives me credits for physical education which is a credit that is needed to graduate. 

    During gym, we always start with different ways of warming up. When class starts, we walk the gym for a couple of times. Then our warm ups begin, they consist of doing each exercise 10 times. Normally we do jumping jacks, crunches, arm and leg stretches, and other warm ups. Then we practice a sport, which throughout the semester we have practiced multiple ones. We have learned how to properly play volleyball, basketball, and even badminton.

    The reason that gym is my favorite class is because of what we do. I like the warm ups because it helps me stretch and be more active. But I also get to learn more about different sports. I get to learn the correct techniques for different sports. Plus we usually get a free day sometimes so I get to play my favorite sport, volleyball. I get to learn and practice more about volleyball during free time. During gym I get to enjoy my time to be more athletic. Which is why physical education is my favorite class in LESP.

Should You Watch This Movie?

    A recent movie that I have watched was Truth or Dare. The movie was about a group of friends that spent time in a house that was haunted with an evil spirit. While at the house they played the game "truth or dare". Throughout the movie the evil spirit gives truths and dares to each player. But if they don't respond truthfully or don't complete the dare, then the spirit kills them. Plus the movie did not really involve many truths so it was just the character doing dares. So it made no sense to be called "Truth or Dare". As well as I believed that the characters weren't really thought out because their deaths wasn't really the best. Plus it was not really a scary movie, it was more like disturbing because it involved intense scenes that were more gross than scary. I wouldn't recommend as a movie to watch as horror. But it is a movie that would be good to watch. I would rate it a 7 out of 10.
