Mixed up hair

"Everybody in our family has different hair."
My family has very different hair types. My dad has coarse hair. My dad's hair is short and black. My mom has straight hair. Her hair is thick and soft dark brown hair, long. When it comes to me and my siblings, we are all three different mixtures of my mom and dad's hair together. My sister has medium length, thick hair. She has black hair with tight curls. My brother has thick hair. His is black with big curls. My hair is medium length and dark brown. It's very thick but soft with really tight curls. We may be closely related but you couldn't tell from our hair.

siblings

"The boys and the girls live in separate worlds."
Guys and girls are like north and south, day and night. Siblings are no different. I have an older sister and an older brother, they both get on my nerves. My brother is disgusting about 95% of the time whereas, me and my sister are clean and sanitary. Me and my sister wash our hands every time before we leave the bathroom. My brother washes his hands about 75% of the time before he leaves the bathroom. My brother doesn't like to put up the toilet seat when he uses the bathroom, enough said. Me and sister always clean up after ourselves in the kitchen. My brother leaves huge messes when he leaves the kitchen.

Mariah

"In Spanish my name is made out of a softer something."
My name is Mariah. I was named after Mariah Carey. I'm so glad I am a girl otherwise my name would have been Zeke. I hate the name Zeke. Myy name means a lot of different things. My name comes from the middle east culture. It stems from the hebrew names Miriam and Moriah, the place. Mariah means beloved, loved, and star of the sea. It can also mean bitter. The most common meaning of my name is "the wind". There is a song the wind, "They call the wind Mariah".

Laughter

"Our laughter for example"
Laughter is an extraordinary thing. Laughter can affect your health. Laugh is a great way to reduce stress. Doctors say you should try to laugh as much as you can. They say laughing can sooth the soul.

Cousins

"Marin screamed and we ran down the block"
Cousins are like siblings that you don't live with, that's why you usually get along with them. If I live with my cousins, they would probably get on my nerves as much as my siblings do. I have a lot of cousins. If you just count my first cousins, there are 13. Now, if you count my first, second cousins, third cousins, and maybe even fourth cousins; there are way too many! I haven't even met all my cousins and I probably never will meet all of them.

Stereotypes

"They are stupid people who are lost and got here by mistake."
There are a lot of stereotypes in this world. Everyone always has to say something about someone else. Stereotypes are very opinionated. The bad thing about stereotypes though, is that most of the time they are true. There are stereotypes about gender. There are some about race. There are stereotypes about where you live or what you have. People that use stereotypes, use assumptions and they shouldn't.

So Many Kids

"Rosa Vargas' kids are too many and too much"
Big families like Duggars in the picture, can be fun but, they are also a lot of work. Watching them on their tv show. just reassures my feelings about having a family that big one day. I don't want to have a family that big. I would probably have a heart attack. My great great grandma had 17 kids and I don't know how she did it.

Daydreaming

"You can fall asleep and wake up drunk on sky."
Sometimes you can't help when you daydream. I know I have never daydreamed on purpose, I have only done it when I am extremely bored out of my mind. I get so bored that I just drift off. When I come back my mind is stimulated again.

ri-ri

"The Eskimos got thirty different names for snow"
Most of us were born with three names first, middle, and last names. But some of us get nicknames in our lives at some point. My nickname is Ri-ri. I got that nickname when i was born i guess. I got it because ri is in my name. My grandpa gave me that nickname. It's just short for Mariah.

Celebrations

"dancing and tamales and everyone's kids running all over the place"
Parties and big events can be really fun, if you're not the one setting up or cleaning up. If you're just going to one then you should have a great time. There are so many good things about parties; the food the music and dancing, and just being around friends and family. I always like when my family has parties or cookouts. We always have so much fun and so much good food.

first job

"I needed money"
My first job technically wasn't a real job because I didn't have to pay in come tax. I like not paying income tax. My first job was babysitting for three couples while they had a bible study. I would watch their combined six kids. I got paid ten dollars an hour. I did that every Sunday for a year. I really liked that job because it paid well and the kids were easy, they were such good kids. I love kids, so sometimes it didn't even feel like a job. I still babysit today because I like it better than getting a "real" job.

Bad

"My mother says I was born on an evil day and prays for me."
There are a lot of bad people in this world. Everyone can be bad at some point. People lie. People cheat. People steal. There are so many bad things that someone can do. However, there is a difference between a bad person and a person that has done a bad thing. I don't think I'm a bad person, but I know that I have done some bad things. If I continued to do bad things and never learned my lesson, then I'm a bad person. If I do a few bad things and continue to learn from my mistakes, then I'm just a person that does a bad thing every now and then.

hit and run

"An accident, don't you know."
A hit and run is a sad, terrible thing. They start as accidents and then turn into something truly ugly. Why they don't just call the police and tell them what happened, I don't know. I their instinct told them to run because they just killed someone and now they're going to jail. What people don't know is that, fleeing the scene is what will get them put in jail.

Language

"She knows how to say "no speak English", if anybody comes." 
If you go to a country that you have never been to before and they speak a different language, you can;t understand them. I would hate that. Sometime I wonder why can't everyone just speak the same language? If everyone spoke the same language, life would be so much easier. We wouldn't have to translate anything. We wouldn't have to take a class to learn a new language. It's hard enough to learn your first language. Why would anyone want to put more stress on themselves by trying to learn a new language. I don't want to do that. I do it because I have to for school. If I want to graduate with an advanced diploma, I have to take three years of a foreign language. I hate it Because it's hard and I don't understand.
