My Family!!!

My family is really big. My grandma had 7 kids, so you can only imagine how big my family is. She had 6 girls and 1 boy.

 I don't know much about my family history. But what I do know is allot of my family is from El Paso or Mexico. My family does have a specific event. That event is every Thanksgiving all of my Tias and Tios come down to El Paso and we all meet up at my grandma’s house. My Tias and Tios come from California Austin and New Mexico. Once everyone is together we all start cooking. The kitchen gets really crowded. But it doesn’t matter! The best part is you hear laughter, everyone catching up with one another, kids running, playing, and laughter. You can never get tired of hearing those noises; it’s a little something that I look forward to every year.

My family is like any other we have problems... Which family doesn't? But at the same time my family is real close. We may be far apart but in our hearts were always together. Like take me and my cousins for example, we are real close I would always be with them any chance I got. But I moved here to New Mexico. It was really hard for me I didn't have no one over here. But we talk every night so it’s like were still together we just don't see each other like we used to.

As you noticed I didn't mention my Grandpa. Well I don’t have one, I did but he passed away before any of the grandkids met him. None of my cousins knew who he was. We know his name, the little things about him. I do know that he was in the military. My Grandpa and Grandma were 10 years apart. My grandma had her first child at 15 years old. It was hard but they did it. My grandma is a very hard worker till this day she still works real hard to help everyone out as much as she can.

Well this essay tells you a little about my family.

I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced

I learned that this little girl named Nujood.

Nujood is only 10 years of age.
She has written a book of
what she has been threw in her
life.

Her parents forced her to get
married at the age 10 to a 30 year
old man.

Standing in the corner of her own wedding
she cried, she was scared. She didn't know
what was going to happen.
Even though her husband promised
Nujood's dad that he wouldn't have sex
with her untill she started menstruating.
But her husband pretty much
raped her the first night
they were married.

Nujood's husband forced her to drop
out of school. Once that happend he stated abusing her
in any way you could
imagine.

She finally had enough of him, she heard about
divorce.
Nujood had to runaway from her husband
in order to get a divorce.
She jumped in the back of a taxi and
had asked to be driven to the
nearest courthouse.
The judge was shocked to see such a little
girl demanding that she wanted a divorce!

The Great Debaters

The Great Debaters is a good movie.

I learned alot from this movie!

I learned that back in the day if you were

black and if you passed by white

people they could burn you.

There was a part in the movie

where the debaters were in theier way to

a debating match and they

noticed that there was a bunch

of white people were burning a black

person.

The youngest debater was

scared because

he didnt know

what was going to happen to the rest of them.

Diego Rivera

I think that this picture means this lasdy

is strtuggling to pick up all those

flowers.

Im sure the flolwers are heavy and it even

looks like there is alot of flowers too!

I noticed that Diego Reivera's paintings 

all kind of have the same meaning

to them.

 Because i see alot of his paintings

and it looks like the

people

are struggling.
