Time Capsule

Welcome back Twiglets! I am so delighted that you are back for some more

blogging! In this post I will be discussing what items I would place in a time

capsule that reflects my life. Enjoy.

Family / Childhood: I was born in raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico and I lived their until I was 9 years old. Many of my childhood memories were made there and because of this I would definitely put the New Mexico flag in my time capsule.

Heritage / Culture / Roots: My mother and my father both have Spanish blood. On my mother's side, her birth father was from Spain and lived their for part of his life. My father also has Spanish blood because his mother's ancestors once lived in Portugal and Spain which is why I think I would put the Spanish flag in my time capsule because many of my family roots come from Spain or Spanish background.

Accomplishments / Achievements: For this category, I would put a cross in my time capsule because my faith is so important to whatever I choose to strive for and in what I accomplish throughout my journey. Even though it is not a specific achievement or accomplishment, my faith plays a huge role in all my accomplishments I have completed.

 

Legacy Left Behind: For my final item, I want to put something in the capsule that symbolizes hard work and dedication. I want people to think of my as someone who worked extra hard and was super determined to follow through with his passion and dream. For me, the item that would symbolize this would be a basketball because one of the best players in the NBA, Kevin Durant, said, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard."

Now, my capsule would definitely have to be a tree with four branches, one branch for each category so that everyone will be reminded of the great fan base that I have. Keep working hard Twiglets.

My Dreams

Welcome back to another blog post, Twiglets! 

Today I will be talking about dreams and how they have

affected my life.

 In the book, The Glory Field, the reoccurring theme of dreams greatly emphasizes one of the themes of the book, which includes breaking through society's barriers and overcoming obstacles. As for me, my parents have always taught me that no matter what I want to do in life, whether it be in school or my future career, I can achieve it as long as I put my mind to it and work hard. Even though I haven't had to go through many of the struggles that some of the characters in The Glory Field experience, there will always be people who try to bring you down in life, and if you use that as motivation and combine that with hard work, anything is possible.

There will always be lumberjacks that try to cut you down Twiglets, but don't let them stop you from sprouting.

Child of the West

"Child of the West"

Welcome Twiglets, today you will read about if I identify myself as a child of the west.

To me, the term "child of the west" can mean different things. In my case, I would define myself as a child of the west in the way of location. I was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which most people classify as a southwestern state. My family lived there for 9 years and most of my childhood was spent there which is why I would definitely classify myself as this.

Coming of Age

Coming of Age

 Hola Twiglets! Today I will tell you about the time when I sprouted from a wee little twiglet into a mighty branch. Enjoy.

 A few weeks ago, my mother, sister, and I traveled to Tennessee to visit my grandmother who has been having some health struggles as of lately. She is 82 years old, and still going very strong even though she has some heart and lung sicknesses that have weakened her ability to do things on her own. When we have visited in the past, she has never had to have us take care of her. Now however, there is always a person in her house that takes care of her 24/7 when she needs it, and adjusting to that was a big step that she had to take. When we arrived, my mother and her big brother needed some help with taking care of her, and it was hard for me, but it was good to know that I was contributing to her well being. Things such as getting her dressed, helping her into her wheelchair, helping her into bed, and more were all things we had to assist her with. Even though this isn't a super daunting task, it was a big responsibility and it made me grow and feel better knowing that I could help her in times of need.

My Identity Legacy

        

Hola twiglets! Welcome to my blog post where I will rant on about how I want my little grandchildren to remember me when I pass away. Enjoy!

•  A role model or inspiration.

           I want my grandchildren to know me as someone who pursued his dreams. No matter what they enjoy or want to accomplish in life, whether it be playing sports or starting a business, I want them to know that they have someone to look up to for reassurance or confidence. If I am able to be an inspiration or idol that lets them know that anything is possible if you put your mind to it, then I will feel fulfilled.

• A person who did good for the world.

In the corrupted world we live in, the need for good people and people who are willing to make sacrifices for the cause of making this world better than when they entered it. I want my grandchildren and other people in general to know me as someone who made a lot of good change for the good of the world and people in need.

My Identity

My Identity

 Hey there twiglets, on this fine day I will be explaining who I am and my beautiful identity. Enjoy this blog post and have fun reading!

1. Brother - I am a brother to 4 siblings, 3 sisters and one other brother. I try and be the best sibling and role model I can for my 2 younger siblings, and a fun and kind younger brother to my two older sisters. 

2. Son - I strive to make my parents proud in everything I do, whether it be playing sports or school grades, I always want to the best I can be for them.

3. Student - At school, I do my absolute best to keep my grades consistent and of high percentage. Whenever my grades start slipping, I focus and work hard to bring them back to a solid A.

My Revolution

My Revolution

  Hello reader, in my blog post I'm going to be talking about how I would change and what I would change about today's world.

As you probably know, there is lots of conflict in different parts of the world, and most of it is sparked by two things. Racism and religion. If you look at groups in the Middle East, such as the Islamic State, they are doing awful things to people who don't agree with their beliefs or worship their god. However, racism is another topic that sparks lots of conflict, especially in the United States. The controversial shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, is an example of the great racial conflict that takes place in America. The world needs a great revolution that awakens people to the idea that all people are equal and should be treated that way. So, I would start a movement that opens peoples eyes and helps them understand that all people are indeed equal, and no one should be given less rights or be treated less due to what they believe or how they look.
