The girl with multiple names
Sandra, Saundra, Sandy, Sand, im the girl with multiple names who could ever imagine
Sandra a very simple name can be that difficult to pronounce. I wonder how hard can it be “just how “but the real question is how I ever got the name Sandra? It begins with a tele novella (soap operas) “oh how my mom loves them tele novellas ugh” but further a do there was character very beautiful, stunning, fashionable, Mexican lady named Sandra that was my mom’s favorite character she loved the name and decided to call me Sandra.
Sandra is my name “S-A-N-D-R-A” not Saundra, not sandy, not sand but Sandra guess maybe people will figure it soon hoprfully. I don’t know much of my name but what I do know is that my name means a feminine form of Alexander meaning defender of men. My name has odd meaning but yet hard to say “ugh” but I still love my name even if it’s hard to say. Maybe I get called by different names but that’s what makes us all unique, I’d rather be called something then nothing so maybe Saundra, Sandy, Sand will do because I am the girl with multiple names.

My special food
Waffle with cream cheese a food that I will always love and always remember, this food to me is special, this food brings back my memories of my childhood. As a kid every summer I would go and visit my grandma and stay with her for two weeks or even more. To me it didn’t seem visiting my grandma only on Sundays wasn’t enough for me “man I was so attached to my grandma like glue”, so my grandma and I made a plan for me to stay at ma grandma’s house for the summer.
School was and summer began I was ready to go to my grandma’s house, when I got there it was night so it was bed time. In the morning my grandma and I were making breakfast pancakes, bacon, and eggs, toast etc.… but then I saw something new something I have never tasted before, it was a waffle with cream cheese.
At first I looked at with disgust my first reaction was “yuck, but I had no choice I had to try it didn’t want to upset my grandma, so I did I took my first bite and “whoa” that thing was good, my eyes sparkled like stars and shined so bright like the sun. That waffle with cream cheese was so creamy, sweet, a bit bitter, crunchy, and very favorable, after that one taste I eat waffles with cream cheese now and forever.

What do you think of me?
I’m Mexican what do you think me? An immigrant? A drug dealer? A rapist? Or even a killer? Have you ever stopped and asked yourself is she/he that type of person, are they like me and everyone else? Millions of people in this world have been called names and blamed for something they haven’t done, just form one look millions of harmful, disgusting, rude words are blasted from one person.
It’s very common when people tell me if I crossed the border or if my parents work as landscaper or maid, I quite don’t get why people would think that or why they assume that. No one shall fall in a category because we are one like the other human beings in this world, we choose who we want to be and become no one is chosen to do what they don’t want to. Instead of judging and criticizing a person from one look, get to know them, learn from them and pass it on.
So next time in school, work, even public and they criticize you, you let them know that you are proud of who you are and where you’re from, and we are all different, we are all one family, white, black, Mexican, Asian, Arabic we are all humans, there shall not be no racism, it shall no longer exist.

Moments of my life
Do you ever just look back at your photos, things you got in that moment and say “man I wish I could go back and relieve that again” I have many times, we all had those wonderful moments that we just want to go back but sadly it only occurs only once in our life time. Every moment you have should be a memory that shall not be forgotten, from embarrassing, to funny, emotional moments will always be moments.
From the time you are born and by the time u grow up it’s hard to keep up with memories, it’s not like I could just rewind and play back all I could do is live it and remember it “sigh”, let me share my moment that has occurred in my life since a little girl.
When I was a little I was in love with music always sang along to my favorite songs, singing was one of my favorite things to do “what would I do without my music” I always said. Third grade came along and I joined chorus, I was so excited to make new friends and improve my singing. I enjoyed learning proper concepts of vocal and music, I had proved a lot in months and was ready to share my voice to the world.
One day in chorus our teacher was explaining how we could have many opportunities to improve, she told us at the end of class there was an audition to go to another county and sing with older kids in a music school. I was so happy I auditioned at the end of class and waited till the next day for the results, the next day I went to chorus and my teacher was naming the kids who have made it, I was very nervous and scared, anxious I didn’t know what to feel. Then suddenly I heard my name I didn’t expect that I thought I did badly, but I apparently I did not. Singing is something I won’t stop doing it will always cherish in my heart and every moment in my life they will be like tunes in my head
