"I went sky diving several weekends ago! It was so exciting and thrilling. I promise you the scariest part is getting on the plane. After that it's not so bad. The good thing about this kind of sky diving is that you have an instructor who does…"

Sky Diving!

After not seeing seeing my friends for about one whole month, I finally got to hang out with them last Saturday. I had such a fun time as we talked about how our summer had been going and what we did. As we ate the most delicious frozen yogurt we all caught up with what our lives had turned into during the summer. And then we started talking about all the amusement parks we had been to and all of the frightening roller coasters.Then we came up with a great idea! We all decided that we wanted to…See More

Marifer commented on Laura Donnelly's blog post Immigrant Mom Treated as a Criminal and Loses Custody of Her Own Child
"This is so heart-breaking! I would be so devastated if I was in their situation. There are many injustices that happen in this country to many immigrants that it makes me wonder where the people who are fighting for them and their rights are? There…"

Maria Teresa Rodriguez commented on Marifer's blog post Make It or Break It
"I agree I don't think a lot of people realize what exactly athletes go through! Olympians are pretty much the BEST athletes in the world, so to achieve that its about dedication to their sport!"

Glee

Glee was the new big thing when it came out. It was such a big deal. There were people who loved it and those who hated it. I know that I was one of those who really really liked the show. It was probably because I had been in choir since I was in seventh grade. So right after I saw Glee I remember I felt so so excited and happy to be in choir. And I hoped so much that we would do something like they did in the show. I thought that the way they changed the songs, the rhythm, tempo, and how they…See More

"That sounds really cool! I'm glad you got to have that trip to see that even if people don't think what you're singing is "cool," someone is extremely passionate and proud that that music is being sung! :)"

"Thats cool! I was in orchestra but I never really liked classical music. At the time I was into punk rock music, so orchestra totally did not fit! But I learned more and more about music in general, and I learned to appricate it. Now, I listen to…"

Our Week

This week was pretty fun and interesting at the Latinitas camp. I met a lot of amazing girls from all over. We did many fun things. We had a tour at the University of Texas at El Paso and I learned my way around the school. On Wednesday we practiced the song "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jenson because the girls did a flash mob at Cielo Vista Mall on Thursday morning. And I didn't actually get to go but I heard that it was really funny and the girls were laughing a lot when they told me about…See More

Posted on January 15, 2013 at 1:01pm 0 Comments

In a Saturday Club for Latinitas at a local library, the girls were discussing body image and self confidence. Everyone talked about issues that they were going through and with feeling good about themselves and not letting people bring them down whether it was a friend, or someone from school, or someone in T.V, or a magazine. They were asked to write a letter to themselves, saying all the good things they needed to know about themselves and how to be strong. Most of the girls were shy…
