Slide Notes

I feel proud of the house I live in. I remember the first time my family moved to the united states. The house we moved into was terrible, we had a mean landlord, the house was old and needed to get renovated . I had to share a room with my brother and sisters . It was nothing close to the one we dreamed of some day living in. We couldn't afford something better so we took it in and tried to make the best of it. seven years later we moved into our own house. Not as big as we thought we would be living in but I know my parents worked very hard to get the house that is some what close to the one they dreamed they would someday get. I feel proud of it because it reminds me that my family has worked very hard to get to where we are now. This chapter reminds me a little of my personal live in a way I know the feeling she has knowing that that's not your house and knowing that's the only thing you have is very depressing.

Hair

Everybody in our family has different hair.
My family has different hair styles . Personally I like my hair short. It makes me feel free and comfortable. I also don't have to worry about waking up early in the morning. Or looking bad because I didn't have time to do my hair. I am actually the only one in my family that has short hair. Some people say their hair is their best feature I would say my best feature is my height. My hair isn't that important to me. I have other things to worry about then my hair. I do like to look clean and have a fresh cut but I don't focus all my time on that.

Boys & girls

Carlos and Kiki are each other's best friends
My brother is my best friend. we are always together. we tell each other secrets. We have our own jokes . I would we get perfectly along. I think mostly everyone's best friend is their brother they just don't know it. I am lucky to have a brother who is older than I am. He helps me out and tells me what I should expect in certain situations. Thats some thing she won't expierence. Having an older is the best. They give you advice to make sure you won't make the same mistakes they did.

Name

I would like to baptize myself under a new name.
I love my name. When I was younger I hated my name I thought it was too long. I Thought people would think my name was weird and that I was weird. I wanted to change my name to something easy to say. Every time we would have a substitute teacher I would be scared for her to call my name because they would never pronounce it right. People would alway ask me why my name was so long and what it meant. I would get so annoyed about it. What I didn't realize was that my name meant something to my family. It was my great great grandfathers name and it's also is my fathers name. My name is part of my family history. I am so proud of it. I don't think I would ever change my name. It does not matter if people make fun of my name. They don't know my family's history like I do. It seems like esperanza is going through the same thing. She hasn't realized that her name is how her family will forever know her.
