I remember the day I met the guy of my dreams he was perfect. Except that he was poor, and my parents wouldn’t except. They’re always telling me to marry someone my class. It was love at first sight. We were both going to get the same drink and suddenly he touched my hand and blushed. I can’t erase that memory. I hear the phone ringing it’s him Jack. He called to ask me to get to the movies with him. We’re at the movies and he gets ready to kiss me. I get all nervous and drop the soda on him. It’s all over his jeans and I am really embarrassed. He tells me it’s okay and takes me home. I don’t know how my parents found out about our relationship but they tell me he’s my brother. I get all discussed and start to cry. I can’t believe I fell in love with my brother. “Ew!” Jack calls me but I don’t answer him. He tries to talk to me and I ignore him and try to avoid him. One day I am going to take a walk at the park when I overhear my mom saying that she adopted me. But she didn’t want me to know so that I didn’t go out with him. I was really happy because this meant we could be together. I go inside the room and ask my mom about this she tells me the story. “When I was young I fell in love with Harry the father of Jack. But he was poor and my parents wouldn’t let me be with him so I would see him in secret. Then one day I got pregnant and my parents found out. When I gave birth to Jack my father took him to an orphanage. Since that day I haven’t seen him”. I asked her why she adopted me. She said “ I couldn’t have kids after Jack so we adopted you”. Months later Jack asks me to marry him I say “yes”. We got married and went to London where our honeymoon was. Was finally together after all that trouble.

Independent Writing Project # 1
I remember that summer the first time I fell in love with someone that someone was a boy named Jake. Our first kiss was when we were fifteen years old. It was really romantic. But when we were seniors in High School we would fight a lot because he wanted to leave to Boston, Massachusetts, because he got a scholarship to got to Harvard. But I got a scholarship to go to Northwestern. He had asked me several of times to go with him, but I told him I was not able to afford Harvard, it was too expensive. I hope he understood that my budget was really low. My dad doesn’t really earn a lot.
In May was Jake’s birthday he picked me up at 6pm. to go upstate and visit his family. Jake said “hi”. I said “hi”, back. We were about to get to his house when he decided to touch the college topic. We started to fight while he drove into the biggest mistake of our lives. He didn’t notice the other car in front of us. We crashed into the other car in front of us. The only thing I knew was that there was a big crash. Jake woke up from this nightmare. He tried to wake me up, but I couldn’t. Jake broke his arm but I was in coma; not sure for how long. Hours, Days, Months go by and I was still in coma. Jake started to get depressed and decided it was time for him to get a job. Nobody wanted to hire him because he was too young and inexperienced. He had never worked before. He decided to join the army.
Two years later, Jake visited me but I was still in coma. Sergeant Jones asked him if he wanted to extend his years in the army. He was not sure if I was going to wake up soon. So he extended it for two years.
A year later I finally woke up form coma. The first thing I asked was where was Jake? They told me he was dead. I went crazy and started to deny everything they said even though I knew it was the truth, even though my heart was burning in the inside. But I had a feeling Jake was alive. I was depressed. My true love couldn’t be dead. My mother saw me sad every day so she tried to get me out of bed to go to parties.
One day, I was watching the news and saw that they found a group of soldiers that were being tortured by the Afghans. When Jake’s family heard this they all stopped talking. One of the soldiers was Jake. Jake was a live and finally was going to be with me. Two years later, Jake and I are going to get married I can’t wait to have a baby.

On the Bridge
The short story called On the Bridge by: Todd Strasser is based on friendship. The two protagonists are Adam and Seth they’re both different. Adam is dishonest, party, cool, brave, and a confident person. But Seth is a good kid, coward, and a dishonest person. “Seth kept glancing toward the exit ramp to see if the women the blue car had gotten off. He was really tempted to leave but he stayed because he liked being with Adam. It made him feel good that a cool guy like Adam let him hang around (4)”. They have some crazy, scary days like the one the had that day on the bridge.
The thesis is that friendship is stronger than any other thing in the world. These are three quotes that represent some examples of Adam helping his friend Seth.” I tried to help,” Adam said, “but one of them held a knife on me (5).” “You want a hand?” Adam asked (5). “ I’ll get those guys for you, man,” Adam said (6). These are examples showing Adam cares about Seth feelings even though Adam started the problem.
The rising action in the story is when Adam decides to act cool and throw the cigarette out the car window. But by mistake he hits a car in which 3 tough guys are on. This is what causes the fight between Seth and the three guys. "He held the butt of his cigarette between his thumb and his middle finger and flicked it over the side of the bridge and down into the traffic. With a burst of red sparks it hit the windshield of a black car passing below. Adam turned and grinned. Seth smiled back uncomfortably. He was beginning to wonder how far would Adam would go (4)”. This is an example showing that Seth didn’t like what Adam did but instead of leaving he stayed and got in trouble. Adam and Seth had to face the consequences.
The conflict in the story is man vs. man. Adam and Seth decide to act cool, and Adam throws his cigarette out the car window. What he doesn’t notice is that he hits the black car behind him. “Seth didn’t notice it until he heard a door slam. He turned and saw three big guys getting out of the car. Seth suddenly decided it was time to go, but he quickly realized that the three guys spread out, cutting of any way to escape. He and Adam were surrounded. This was when one of three guys grabbed Seth and made him lick the windshield. Then Adam decides to help his friend and they resolve the problem.
My opinion of this story is that I love it because it was based on friendship and how it lasts forever. Even though Adam blames Seth for what he did it wasn’t because he wanted to run away but it was because he had a plan on how to get away with it. I really liked the turning point because I thought at first that Adam was going to leave Seth pay for his consequences but he didn’t. I think this story is a must read because it really nice and wonderful.

On Sunday I had a really long and important test I had to take. I had studied all week for it. When Sunday came I got to Hunter College but there was a really big line. At first I was the last one, but then I got to the front of the line. While I was there I saw Darwin, he asked me if I was going tot take the test I said "yes". While I was taking the test I was really nervous of failing the test. The test I had to take was for a program called a better chance it’s supposed to help you get into a private high school and a good college. I hope I get a really high score. I had to get at least 1,350 points to get an interview for the program. The test was about 3 hours long and we had some breaks. While I was in the school taking the test I got to see how big the school was. It was pretty big. I also saw some cheer leaders entering the school. The test was pretty hard. The hardest part for me was the verbal section. It was a section where you had to choose the right words that fitted best in the sentence/s. The first 5 words were really hard to understand but I used some strategies. One strategy I used was the Spanish speaking skills. Some words had a Spanish word in them that helped me look for a synonym. Another strategy I used was word charge. The last strategy was to look for a good/bad word. I used word roots. The math section was easy even though it had some tricky questions. I hope I passed the test.

I wish I hadn't said anything to my father. But I had to it been the only way I would pay. My dad's in jail now thanks to me. I didn't expect him to react like this. The police takes me too because I am a witness. I tell the police lady everything that happened.
"I was at a party and my boyfriend wanted to sleep with me but I didn't want to. He decided to rape me. My life was ruin by then. After that I got pregnant and told him he was the father. But he said he wasn't and dumped me. I told my father and he said that we had to marry but he didn't want to. This is why my dad got crazy and killed him."
The police officer said, "Your boyfriend is still alive."
"What", I said.
" He got hurt but is alive, she said.
My dad is taken to jail and is sentence 8 years. I go home and talk to my friend on the phone. I go to sleep all alone at home. The next day I go to school and see Harold he's they’re talking bad about my dad. I get my gun out and shot him. I shot him 3 times to make sure he's dead. I couldn't let him not pay for what he did to me. Students called the police and they take me to jail. I'm with my dad at least waiting for my baby to be born. My dad asks me if I'm going to abort and I say "no". The baby doesn't have the fault of what his father did. On October 23, 2007 I give birth of my baby it's a boy. They take him to a foster house because I'm in jail. Three years later I'm looking for my child but they tell me a couple adopted him. I asked them who but they couldn’t tell me. My friend Penelope calls me to help her with something. She tells me if I can babysit her brother because she has to go to work. I ask her about him she tells me he's adopted. I ask he the child's birthday, name, parents. He tells me he was born in October 23, 2007 his name is Luke and tells me that I'm his mother. I finally found my son after a year looking for him. Luke is about to be 5 years old I love him a lot.
