Muggsy Bogues

The video about Tyrone Muggsy Bogues  really emphasizes the fact that anything is possible. For Muggsy being 5'3 and being a pro basket ball player shows how much heart he puts in his games. He accomplished his dream because he was extremely dedicated to it, he put heart and determination to it. He might of been short, but his heart was gigantic. Even if people may have tried to discouraged him because of his height he kept on going and proved them wrong, he proved that anything is possible if you work on it. Have heart, courage and determination, do not be discouraged because you may find some obstacles, take those obstacles as a challenge, a challenge you will overcome.

Bullying

Many of you may just read this title and think "Ehh its not important." But in reality it is. Bullying usually involves kids and adolescents in elementary school, middle school, and high school. The people who experience bullying, may experience physical and even emotional pain. They suffer, and this bullying may interfere with their social life, emotional health and sometimes even with their school work. Some children/ may attempt against their life (suicide) instead of going head on against the harassment. I was bullied for most of my childhood, but i was strong about it and dealt about it without any outside help. Other children may not be able to do this, others do need help because they cannot do it themselves. If any of you suspect your siblings/ cousins/ friends or anyone is being bullied lend a hand to them, help them with what you can and if you dont know what to say to them tell them to walk away from the bully and not fight back, or to tell an adult in their school.If the child is depressed and does not want to go to school, then you may need the help of a child/adolescent psychiatrist. Bullying is a big problem, speak to any children you know especially those attending  elementary schools, and middle schools and speak of the consequences bullying may lead to.

 Freedom!

For me freedom is being able to speak without being afraid of being heard or judged. Freedom is being able to dress act and listen to whatever kind of music without being judged. When I was a kid I was not free, I felt caged in, as if I were a freak encaged for the purpose of attraction on a freak show. I was bullied throughout my childhood because I looked a certain way, I dressed a certain way, and I acted a certain way. I was not free. But now I know everyone deserves that freedom, that freedom people derived me of. The only reason I felt I was not free was not because of the bullies entirely, but by myself. I let their words, and their laughs at me get to me. As I was growing up I decided to ignore them and live my life, as I would want it to be. The more I ignored them the more they would make fun of me and laugh at me. Their comments didn’t cease all together but they did decrease after a while. I was so depressed I did let it get to me I missed a lot of school because I was afraid of being made fun of. I couldn’t handle their words anymore, I chose the wrong and started hanging out with the wrong people, I dressed liked them listened to their music even though I did not enjoy it. I started boxing so that if anyone dared to laugh at me I would beat up. I dressed like a tomboy and acted like one to, and I have to admit, no one messed with me then. Even though no one laughed, I still felt encaged, I didn’t dress the way I wanted to, I didn’t listen to the music I wanted to, I didn’t act the way I wanted to. After a while I decided to change, I chose the right and became free, I did that by not hanging out with those people, I dressed however I wanted, I listened to whatever I wanted and I acted however I wanted. And I let go of all that resentment I had for those people, I became a peace loving person, I became that easy going, nice, and friendly person I wanted to be.  Now I am free, I feel free, and I will remain free for as long as I want and for as long as I choose the right!

" Everyone deserves to be free, and if you wish it you will be free, but use that freedom judiciously and choose the right so that you may enjoy it entirely."

The world!(:

And a random sad story.

I have got to admit this world is pretty screwed up, but its not the WORLD its the people. Look around you, there are fights every where, litter everywhere, rude people, and racism! This has got to stop! It has gotten out of hand, we must fight for morality, for love and peace, but we cannot fight fire with fire, because we will cause an even bigger fire. 

It has gotten sooo screwed up, that people even begin to hurt animals. Why hurt poor defenseless  innocent creatures who have caused us no harm? Why so much cruelty? People who have hurt animals for no reason, need mental help urgently.!

Many MANY years ago (like 5 or 6) well i dont remember i was in fifth grade, so yeahhh approximatley 6 years, ANYWAY it was before school started and my mom was walking me to school, there was a cute fluffy dog in the middle of the street,, my mom and i looked at him and we both agreed he was adorable, well these idiots in a car saw him and then ran him over on purpose! They still reversed and ran him over again! Everyone walikng by that street stayed in shock, how could there be people like that? I wish i could run him over! Well a lady that lived on that street came out with a blanket and took him away from the middle of the street, i cried for the dog that day.
Hopefully this convinces whoever reads this post, to not hurt animals in anyway, they have lives like us.
The are capable of forming families, feeling pain and even crying like us, so think about this when you see someone hurt an animal.

Lets see, my name is Brenda Enriquez, I am 16, my birthday is 09/15/ 94 my favorite colors are, well, i think i like all the colors, they all represent something beautiful!(: Many people may think i'm very quiet, but I actually talk  a lot, A LOT. I am a vegetarian for a little over 4 months now. I am a very chill peaceful person, i dont like violence, or rude people. Rude people deserve to be punched in the face -_- . I have a hamster which i named Taco hence my blog name. I LOVE Taco, but i havent seen him for about 2 weeks because hes at my aunts house because i cant have him at home D': Taco is a fatty he eats a lot, like me! :D My favorite band is NeverShoutNever! because i love Christofer Drew, he's my idol, i really want to meet him someday, and then my life would be complete and i'd be able to die happily (: I listen to every kind of music, the only kind i dont tolerate much is rap, i dont know why. I like to read, especially vampire books. I love to sing, singing and music are life! I want to someday learn how to play guitar and piano. I want to be a psychologist for children, because i love to give advice and help people. When i grow up i want to adopt 3 kids, an asian, an african american and a hispanic. I will raise them to love each other and everyone else, and to love and protect our planet and live a life without any resentments. Well i guess thats it for now, bye guys and for whoever actually read this boring blog, thank you for you time and patience i really appreciate it! :D

Today was pretty chill, my mom, my godmother,Dalia, Jenny and I went to the park and i have to admit it was pretty fun. My sister is quite a comedian and we would always laugh at her randomness. I was super happy when I bought an airhead from a lady at the park and she gave me one for free! :D but i still had to give it to my mom danggg =/

Today was pretty damn awesome!. Jenny, Dalia and i went to the park, I guess we didn't really think the distance through and by the time we got to the park we were tired! :o well at least i was. We called Jackie and asked her to join us and she agreed, we had so much fun laughing and joking around. Jenny kept up coming up with super random things that we had to laugh at. We had planned to go to the beach tomorrow but our plans screwed up =/

Hopefully tomorrow is just as awesome as today! :D

A Few Tips on Helping Our Planet! :D

With all the constant reports of Global Warming, the oils spills, and natural disasters  a lot of people may be concerned for the planet but may be overwhelmed by so much that is going on, that they may feel they cant do anything to help. But in reality, one person can do a lot, if we all work together to protect our planet, much can be done!

You may feel that to help our planet is a BIG sacrifice and truly it is not, there are many little things you can do to protect the planet. Here are some suggestions...

• Recycle. You can recycle plastic, glass, and paper products in recycle bins. You can influence your family and friends to do the same, you can trade in your recycled items in a recycle center and use that money as a treat for yourself, for being kind and caring to the planet.
• Change Bulbs. You can replace your light bulbs for energy efficient compact florescent light bulbs (CFL's) 
  
• Plant a tree. Trees purify the air that we breathe, and are homes for many little creatures and they also make our environment look beautiful!.(:
• Minimize your water use.  Just by cutting off a minute of your shower you may save up to 10 gallons of water per shower.Do the same when you brush your teeth or water your garden.
• Cut down your paper use. Paper can be recycled but it would be most helpful if you did cut down your paper use.

Go Green!
