movie review :)

My favorite movie (well at least one of them) is "McFarland." Yes, how ironic that I (a latina girl) like the movie based on some latino guys. Well jokes on you because I'm about to write a review why I like the movie. First of, if you haven't watched the movie yet, you really should !! Long story short, McFarland is based on a true story about how this well privileged white coach, is coaching a group of latino kids (who don't really live in a very nice economical place) for cross country. While doing this he learns about each individual kid and sees how difficult their life is. 

I recommend this movie because it shows many themes. One of the themes are that if you feel like not trying anymore, you shouldn't stop trying even if you feel like you're alone. Cause there's always someone there for you no matter what. It's an inspiring movie because when the boys first started running cross country they doubted themselves. They never even thought they had a chance. But not until the coach encouraged them and became close to each boy. Each individual boy was struggling with something in their life. It could be them having to wake up early so they can go pick out crops, or them having to have an abuse father who can be hard to understand. But no matter how hard and difficult the boys had it, their coach didn't stop. He was there for them through their toughest time. I hope that you watch the movie. :) 

Christmas List :)

Wow, Christmas is almost here... For the little kids, Christmas is just about the presents but slowly as you start growing a bit more mature, you notice how it's really about spending time with your family and creating unforgettable memories. Here's a short list of some stuff I want, but aren't necessary (I'm already grateful for the things I have in my life.) But most importantly what I really want, is for everyone to be spending the holidays with their families and being happy :)

1. I really want "How I Met Your Mother" back on Netflix (this weekend, I felt like re-watching it again, but then when I searched it up .... IT WASN'T THERE!!!) So basically that meant that, I wouldn't be able to watch Barney being hilarious anymore on Netflix. :(

2. I want to be able to make a time machine and go back in time so that I can warn people about the bad things that are coming like, you know what I mean.... But then again if I were to actually do that then, it could change the whole future, so actually making a time machine wouldn't be such a good idea but would be really cool. I would also wanna change stuff that I regret doing but then it could also change the future, so I guess it's ok.

3. I want happiness for everyone. Happiness can be very difficult for someone to find. You might feel like you're alone but you're not, just remember there's a 13 year old girl wishing for your happiness. I remember this one time, (it was father's day) my dad and I were walking and this guy not looking really happy was walking behind us. Then my dad turned around and put a smile to his face and said to the guy happy father's day. The guy then smiled (it was a big smile) and said thank you, you too. So like when you're walking or doing anything and come across a random person, just smile. One smile can make a great difference to somebody. :) 

                                                                      

4. I also really want it to snow a decent amount. But like not too much cause I don't want it to get really cold. I like snow cause it puts me in the Christmas spirit :) 

5. I want fuzzy socks, perfume, lotion and etc. 

6. I want a Pacsun or Hollister gift card (not necessary but would make me very happy :) 

Anyways, there's a lot more but that would take a long time !!  Hope you have an amazing week !! Also don't forget to smile :)

Perseverance :)

Perseverance. Perseverance means to overachieve a goal that has difficult obstacles. For example, let's saying you're running a race and you're currently in first place. Then unfortunately you end up tripping, you could either stay on the ground being sad or you could get up and finish strong. Ya, you might have not made 1st place but the fact is that you didn't give up. What I'm trying to say here is that you shouldn't give up when they're difficult obstacles. Being perseverance is an important thing in life, and it should be paid more attention at school. We're taught math, reading, etc. but we aren't focusing on one of the most important life skills. Many kids struggle with different kind of problems which sometimes makes them want to stop trying. Teaching them to not give up when life is difficult is a very important life skill. You are the one controlling your future, you could either waste it and not try or you could keep on going and try your hardest through the most difficult times in your life. A message for everyone (mostly the people who read my blog because I don't think everyone in the world reads my blog) who is struggling with something, please do not give up. Keep on going even if it's too difficult, ya this may not mean much to you since I'm just a 13 year old girl but please don't give up. Doesn't matter if you didn't get 1st place what matter the most is that you didn't give up, you kept on going and you finished strong. I hope each one of you guys have an amazing day !! :)
