  1. Animals can sometimes seem remarkably human. Describe an experience with an animal that acted in a very human way.

    Well, yes I have seen animals that act like humans, one of them was my dog "Simba". I really love that dog, he was very intelligent and awesome, but one day he died. But still I remember him, how someone can forget one amazing dog. I will tell some stuff he usally did.

    First of all, he was a "Labrador" and we did not buy him, we find him in the house were we use to live. When we find him he was already a big and old dog, like of 5 years or more, nad I was really sacre of him. But one day my mom start fitting him and suddenly he became a part of the family. I start loving him and he bacame a really good friend.

    Some stuff he ussually did was that he always opened the doors, even if they have the lock on, and the windows too. Other stuff he did, was that when you give him a kind of food, lets say a hamburguer, he opens the hamburguer and get rid of the thing he did not like, for example the chili, onion and the tomatoe. There was a time when he did not have the necklace the dogs usually have, and the "perrera" try to get him, but he was so intelligent that he opens the window of the house and enter so they will not get him. But the most remarkable thing he did was, that when the "perrera" tried to get him, my mom take him to a deposit in the venue "Ranchito" so they will not get him, but one day he suddenly disappear like for three or more days, we thought that he was dead already, but suddenly, after that days passed, he appear in the house. It is amazing how the dog could travel all the distance from the venue "Ranchito" to the venue "Sierra Vista" that is located near "Cinemark Mirador". He was an awesome dog, and I will never forget him.

  2. Sometimes lies can have serious consequences. Describe a time in your life when a lie had a serious consequence for you.

    This is true, lies can carry lots of consequences, but the worst thing comes when saying lies becomes a habit in your life. This happened to me, and I'm going to talk about it.

    When I was like in third grade of elementary school I used to say lies about everything, I used to say lies even if I didn't had the need to say it. For example, if I had for breakfast starry eggs and somebody ask me what I had for breakfast I would have said that hot cakes. It was a real horrorshow, but I didn't cared about it, it became a way of life. However I realized of my error one day in physical education.

    So I was in physical education and we were getting formed in a line, but some of my classmates started making "relajo" while I was just getting formed. So the teacher thought I was making "relajo" too and he sent the rebels and me to the direction. And when the coordinator asked me why I was making "relajo" I didn't told the truth, even that I didn't do anything I did not told that I was just getting formed, as simple as that. It was like being in the direction and with my lie-saying habit, something psychological. This remember pops up in my mind everytime I say a lie. Is something I won't forget.

  3. Movies and books often talk about the value of loyalty and friendship. Now that I remember, there was one time in which a friend of mine defended me of some critique they were doing on me.

    I was hanging around school (I was still young, in JR. High School) with one of my buddies when someone came to throw "crap" at me (to insult me for no apparent reason) and they start to insult me. Suddently, my buddy goes in frint of him and starts to defend me really good. Before everything gets out of control, we get away.

    I asked him why did he defended me. He just said that that's what are friends are for, and also added "What, you really think I was going to let you fight alone?" I always remember that day when someone defends me.

  4. I’m very fortunate because I have a lot of amazing experiences from traveling in my life. It’s hard to decide on which one to talk about, nonetheless, I’ll just write the first one that pops in my mind greatly.

    When I was leaving in the U.S, my family and I went to this little town called Frankenmuth in the eastern area of the state. We took a 3 or 4 hour drive to get there. While in the town, everything was a “new experience” to me, because I’ve never been in a small alley where people are actually making popcorn in this really big oven where they put all the salt or butter or caramel depending on whatever flavor they were doing. There was even a strawberry and raspberry flavor! And they turned to taste great! While watching all the people making the popcorn and selling it, we noticed that it was also a competition, my mom bought like 3 double large bags of this sweet butter popcorn and I ate 2 of them.

    We also walked a lot down a small ‘boulevard’ watching all the old-style houses and restaurants, it was cool because everybody was so kind, and a lot of people invited us to come inside and have supper or just to see the house, they were big houses and their owners lived from them.

    The 4 hour drive was worth it, the new experience of being treated that good is unforgettable, even though, the most unforgettable thing will always be the incredible smell of all the different popcorn flavors mixed together in the air or just the sweet buttery flavor in one part of the alley. I will never forget it.
