Track and Field Asomex 2015

     Asomex was awesome. This was my first Track and Field Asomex, and for being the first one and having very little preparation, I think I did really well. I literally prepared one week before the competition, and during this week I had an injury in my left leg. Both, my dad and doctor told me to rest until the competition. My dad suggested me to take some pills and I did.
   
     My first competition was Friday and I didn't even knew I was running that day. I was told I was on the list for running 400 mts. I was scared, the most important competition for me was on Saturday. I didn't wanted to get more injured The first thing I thought was not running it, so I went with my coach and told him I didn't wanted to run. He told me it was okay. Some minutes later Ani, my girlfriend, came with me and I told her what had happened. She told me to run, she wanted to see me running. She gave all her support and told me she was sure I was going to win. She was like my motivation, so I quickly got changed and ran for my numbers. I got just in time, minutes before the competition started. I had no chance to stretch and get prepared for it.
   
     I was nervous. I didn't knew anything about running 400 mts. Moments before the competition started, I asked my coach how should I run it. He told me to run 50 mts at max velocity and the rest maintain it at 70%. I didn't knew where 50 mts were. "Competitors in your marks." I heard this and got even more nervous. "Get set." At this time, I forgot about everything, I just stopped thinking. I didn't heard people shouting. Everything went off. Then, the gunshot. Everything was gone, everyone was gone. It was only me, running, trying to win. This were the longest 58 seconds of my life. The last 100 mts, I was dead, my legs wont work anymore. I looked back, there was this guy very close to me. I tried going faster, prolly I did. I don't know how, he didn't passed me. I won.

Family

     My family is totally crazy. They love to party and we do it every time we can. My grandma says we party just because a cockroach appears. And its true, we party for any reason. I consider my family very united, even when there is a bad situation or things for some reason get difficult. Part of my weekend is with my family. Saturdays we go with my grandma in my dad's side to have breakfast, I call her "abuela". We commonly eat menudo, molletes or barbacoa. I love eating any of them, but I think my favorite is barbacoa.

     Next day, Sunday, all my family goes to my house. We love party so much that my dad even bought a rockola, and it actually suits a lot in the bar. Every Sunday we eat carne asada, it would not matter to us if the world ends, we would be eating carne asada. My family just love meat. In this family reunion we not just only eat meat, music is played all the time and is heard all over the place. Then, they start singing and this is when you should realize the party would continue all night. Think this is prolly the conflict, because next day we have school and we need to rest and do homework, but they just don't care and actually me neither. I have a great time with them, they make me laugh with all the crazy stuff they do or tell each other. This is definitely the day of my weekends that I like the most.

A Day in my Life

     Last Thursday was a very usual day. I woke up 6:30, took a bath, get changed, and come to school. I usually get school like about 7:20. Everything was okay, I liked this school day until we got to Ms. Miller's class. As usual, everyone bored, sleeping, or simply ignoring Ms. Miller and having side conversations. This is everyday at her class. You may think I hate her, and I don't. I just don't like the way she teaches us and how she treats us. This english class was a little different. "Juan Carlos Ms. Towns wants you at her office" said Ms. Miller. I really didn't know what was going on so I just told her it was okay and went. This was the second time I got sent to the office because of Ms. Miller. 

     When I got to the office Ms. Towns told me, "Go to the boardroom, others are waiting there and I would go with you in a while." I first saw Valente Alvarez, and then everyone else. Ricky, Carlos, Valente and Fran. I asked why we were there and they told me that it was prolly because of the quiz we refused to take. Wednesday we refused to take a quiz, this was a pop quiz and pop quizzes are not allowed at CAT. Ms. Towns finally arrived with us and said "Ok, this is what is going to happen. You are staying here the rest of the day and all day tomorrow." We asked her why, and she refused to tell us. She just told us, "You are here because of a situation at Ms. Miller's class and we need to investigate." We immediately know this was about the quiz. But being practically suspended because of something that is not allowed at school? Really? We were confused and angry. We didn't know what to tell to our parents. The bell rang and it was time to leave. We were surprised because we were only told to assist all day to the office next day, Ms. Jessyca didn't even gave her face to us. What was this about? What were they supposed to investigate? This is something stated in the Student Handbook and we were going to be suspended? Wow, what a bad organization and knowledge about the rules and student rights. This was for the day. We left the office without knowing what happened, or what would happen to us. 

Hi, I love Composition class and Ms. Thompson.
