Senioritis

I can't believe that there's less than a month left until I'm a senior. I remember so well when I stepped into the front steps of the school and never imagined that time would pass by fastly. I've grown so much in many academic areas that I'd thank all my teachers for that. I get that feeling that responsabilities and independence will soon arrive in my front door. By then, I'll be ready to confront them and become a wonderful being that will be capable of reaching new standards.

04/08/16

Today I went to the gym near my house that got remodeled and the machines were pretty cool. Anyways, I did some cardio for 25 minutes. I don’t know the exact names but they are closer to a bicycle. I worked abs, triceps, biceps, my back, and my thighs. I spent around 45 minutes.

Active #2

3/30/16 

Today I went to the gym in the morning around 10 and lasted until 11 am. I did exercise for biceps and triceps. Also, abdominal workout (belly area). I did 20 minutes of cardio on the elliptical machine. I spent most of the times on weights and trying to burn calories in the upper body where I mostly need it. I burned around 300 -400 calories in total (according to what the machine said + the weights, so I’m calculating). I don’t know my weight I should probably do that so then I set a  goal. I’m going to start practicing for tennis because season starts in august and I want to be prepared.

02/03/16, 02/14/16, 02/17/16, 03/10/16, 03/17/16, 03/18/16, 03/20/16, 03/21/16, 03/24/16, 03/27/16, 03/28/16 I did abdominal, leg, buttocks, upper body, cardio (treadmill, elliptical) and others. I enjoy going to the gym because as I do exercise I listen to music which it's a way that motivates me. Each day I go I do around 1 hr and 20 mins and burn in average 500 calories each day.

I've been writing on my notebook since January. I used to attend Russian courses but they got too expensive to the point where my mom couldn't pay for them so right now I'm studying on my own. I hope to obtain a good level of fluency until I graduate. I'm studying Russian cases in depth to be able to conjugate verbs properly with correct endings for each noun.

My mom and I went to an orphanage in Tijuana where we gave out food. It was a fun experience because there were kids who were always hugging us and being thankful for what they received. They even sang to us which for me was very significant. THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES WITH HUMANITY.

07/2015-10/2015 I played tennis for 3 months. This is my favorite sport which I really enjoy; I wouldn't replace it for another sport. I had fun after all. I was always present during practices and the drills helped me a lot with being more physically active. I look forward to joining in next year.

July 2015 : My team and I had to run 5k. There were like 15 obstacles where you had to jump,lift, push, crawl, and other activities. By the end of this activity. I realized that all of what I did meant one thing: teamwork. If everyone helps one another then the job will be facilitated. At the same time that it was an active commitment I also helped people in each obstacle before running the trajectory. I had to help people who fell from the pools or make sure that everything was well organized. I had lots of fun at the end of the day.

11/06/15-11/07/15: I voluntereed for two days in Tijuana BC in a festival called Tijuana Innovamoda. Here I met with successful people that told us how they reached to their present positionat work. It's just like Drake's song "Started From the Bottom" kind of in the idea that they no foundation from how they started but they strived to their best and obtained what they wanted. I didn't pay attention that he photographed celebrities but I was interested how he started and how he's now part of a non-mainstream magazine. He was a very humble guy and I might as well follow his footsteps and try to be humble instead of exhibiting one self

26/15-(my mom took this picture) *excuse my face* 

I had to give out shirts to all participants. It was a bag and in it came a shirt with their size. I had to do this for the rest of the day. I met these 3 wonderful older (wise) people. One man recounted his story when he went to volunteer in South Africa and he helped out lions. II don’t recall exactly what he did but he contributed to the world in a good cause. They were really open-minded because one of them was really interested in my culture he asked me “ Oh, has your mom passed some recipes from Mexican cuisine?” as If every Mexican woman knew how to cook which intrigued me. I told him “No, I barely have time. My grandma is the one who knows all of that stuff and my mom , but I’m too busy doing homework that I don’t have time to learn how to cook properly”. There were different types of people in this marathon. Very diverse. I enjoy being in these types of environments where I get to interact with people.
