Where I'm from

     I'm from joy and laughter.

Spending long hours in the breezy heat of summer.

I'm from early wakes in worry of where my mother was.

From patiently sitting; waiting for school to end.

I'm from cold morning and hot evening, where the city is lively.

When the breeze picks up; of which my home got its name.

When the night creeps up on the city and night brings light to the street.

When the lights shine bright, that's the time when you return home.

The city life is where I'm from.

My Break

     My breaks wasn't exactly the best, or anything near. Probably one of the worst ones but like all bad things, there had to be something positive to smile about. About 4 days until the first day of school, I spent a couple days with my grandma on my dads side of the family. She called and said she hadn't been feeling good so I decided to go give her company since I had nothing better to do and I love her. The first day I was with her, we made hot cocoa and food to eat while watching tv. It was pretty good to just relax on the couch wrapped in a blanket sipping hot chocolate. The second day we went shopping and ordered a pizza since she said she felt a little better, it was as pepperoni pizza (which was amazing) we had ordered it from Anthony's. The next morning she dropped me off at home and we said goodbye. I've seen her after that, but not during break so that was one thing I did that was kind/thoughtful

How Drugs Effect the Community of Chicago

     Did you know that there have been over 700 drug related homicides within the past 11 months? You must think all over the world, if so. You'd be more than wrong. Those cases were filed right in your area. The city of Chicago is home to a lots of things but is also one of the most brutal areas thanks to gang violence and drug trafficking. This time we'll be focusing on drugs and how it impacts society.

     There are many cases where drugs have corrupted families and peoples lives. Drugs like heroin and cocaine aren't only damaging to you physically, it can impact people around you as well. Like those who care about you, do you think they would want you to do those things? They can also effect you emotionally as some drugs kill brain cells and shut down certain areas of your body which can take part of internal damage and will make you crazy. These drugs are dangerous and are very addictive, some ex addicts say "once you get the taste for it, you just want more and more." So addiction is a serious problem that is treated by doctors as a disease.

One ex-drug dealer says he's pro for drugs as the state can legalize it and tax it to make city payment highly increased, this can also save money for states that pay millions to prevent production illegally. So he says it'll be beneficial for society to promote drugs. Is it really beneficial though?

Another person says it's definitely something that should be stopped as it assists deaths and gang violence thrive in the city. Although drugs are meant to be life saving medication, all through the country. People exploit this and make it illegally for people who decide to buy unmediated products for consumption. They also said that its the governments job to crack down on drug trafficking and production lines to prevent the products to impact people.

A medicine expert would say that drugs are like a double edges sword. The medications can save lives and help prevent sicknesses to those who the drugs are medicated to, but the products can easily be reversed to something that doesn't help but negatively impacts people with a risk of an overdose or even a reaction that has a chance to kill the consumer if the drugs weren't medicated to them.

My dank name

My name is Ernesto and my middle name is Vince. My family comes from many origins but mostly of mexican descent. My moms side of the family is Native American and European but my dads side of the family is mexican and Native American/Mexican but there's also a possibility that Caribbean can be mixed in with it. My first name was passed to me down the line of many Ernesto's and Vince's in my families history. I received "Ernesto" from my dad, who got that from his grandpa, who was named by my great great grandpa vince. My name holds a lot of history which I love, but I don't exactly like my family nick name which is vinny from my uncles and other family (They're from  spaniard descent) I like my families way with names.

Intention

My new year resolution is to work harder to do things I have to right now so I can do what I want later. Like schoolwork; I wanna do my best to focus on getting work done in class and worry most about my education. I would want to do this because it'll make life a lot easier and it will benefit me in the future when I want a good paying job or any job in that matter. But in all; I'm going into 2017 with the intentions to focus and put maximum effort into my education.

The Time I Chased An Ice Cream Truck!!

            When I was a child, I was very advernterous and was curios about everything. So I've had lots of cool stories about my childhood. But I'll tell you one for now...
   
     When I was 7, I wanted to know where the ice cream man went after he left my block. Since I was young I didn't understand how things like that worked so I had to find out. I was determined to find out. So, I got ready for this "mission" and waited for him to go get to my house and I bought as chocolate fudge ice cream bar and waited for him to take off. It was a very slow truck so I was able to keep up with it. As it took down the street, I followed, walking along eating my ice cream. But when he turned the corner I sprinted and he had seemed to disappear behind the next row of houses. I still heard his music so the search wasn't over. I had raced to the second floor of my house and looked out my window to realize that he goes from block to block serving all the kids in the neighborhood.

BLOGGING; According To Me

     Blogging to me isn't hard, but it isn't the best. It can be stressful sometimes... So, I am going to blog about how I blog. Maybe you'll learn a thing or two.

     To get started, lets talk about a must. Blogging often! It doesn't always have to be the longest blog or the best, it just has to be interesting and should be on a topic people are interested or something you are passionate about. You really shouldn't lie in your blogs because it isn't really a blog if its a lie. That's called a story. But back to the point, blogging often! You shouldn't slack on your blog because lots of reasons. It keeps your readers hyped for the next post or update and, it just makes you seem like you're into what you do. But try not to over blog... Over blogging is when you make a bunch of posts in a day. Its never a bad thing to like writing or sharing on your blog but if you post too much it'll seem like you don't have any extracurricular activities. Which isn't the best thing to be assumed.

     The second is also a major, but not as important. You should always be ready to give and receive feed back from readers. I myself need to work on this one, but yeah, feed back is a very cool trait to blogging. That's pretty much what blogging is, I mean , without it you'd just be writing to yourself. Let's talk about sending feedback! I should work on this too, but feed back lets your partner or people who read your blog know that you're acknowledging them and aware that they are reading. Recieving feed back is always nice, but sometimes can catch you off guard or maybe even surprise you. So you should always be prepared to answer questions or maybe even realize that the readers like what you're posting about.
