SEPTEMBER ACCOMPLISHMENTS 08



I have many goals and i have completed two of them on September. The first goal I did was celebrate Mexican Independence with the family. Mexican Independence is celebrated on September 16. My uncle invited my parents, my brother Manny and me to his house for a cook out. We went and that weekend it was raining!! So my uncle put a roof over the backyard so no one can get wet. When I got there I said Hi to all of my cousins, uncles,aunts and grandparents. There was so many delicious Mexican food served like Enchiladas, Pozole, Arroz,Tortas and different types of Chile.


I sat down with everyone else and started having conversations about what we've been up to and how everything is going. It was getting late and soon the Mariachis arrived. Alot of people started requesting songs to the mariachis. The songs were played and everyone started singing them also, Making GRITOS!!(Loud Screams to Music & Songs).In the table there was little Mexican Flags taped to Sodas & standing up.There was about 2 Flags in each table. My aunt also bought a chocolate cake & the top had the Mexican Flag on it & in the middle it said "VIVA MEXICO"


The second goal i completed was I went to the Mexican Parade in 26th st. It was a sunday and it was the day after the party at my uncles. It was also raingin just like the day before. That didn't stop my dad,Manny and me from going, We still went. I took my Mexican Flag & I put it on my back. I was walking with it to 26th street and had it on during the whole parade. My dad took his umbrella and my brother went without nothing to stay warm or dry. I took my digital camera and took many pictures of all the people & the boats coming in the parade. Many people were there,nothing stopped thme either. Everyone would scream VIVA!!VIVA MEXICO!!(YEA!!MEXICO!!)I saw many of my friends watching the parade also.

The goals you accomplished are good ones. Sounds like you had a fun time with your BIG family even though it was raining, though I love it when it rains. Anyway this goal reminds me of the times I spent time with my family, good times. The parade was funny from what I heard, but was sad because the ROTC cadets didn't march because of the rain! How mean making them stand there. Well Maricarmen I hope you conitnue to achieve the goals you think are important to you. You ROCK!

Your goals are very cool. I saw the parade in tv and it was long. I hope you had a very good time with your family. I am sorry that JROTC did not march in the parade becuase it was raining to hard. I am happy for you that you completed your goals.

I THINK THATS ITS GREAT THAT YOU GOT TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY. YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR THAT AND ENJOY IT BECAUSE NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE GET TO BE WITH THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. THE WEATHER!!! I KNOW IT WAS HORRIBLE FOR EVERYONE BUT YOU MADE SOMETHING OUT OF IT. DONT GET ME WRONG BECAUSE WHEN IT RAINS IS THE ONLY TIME THAT I KNOW THAT I CAN SIT READ AND RELAX:)
