“Maria! Levantate! Andale!” My mother’s voice woke me up with a stab of fear. Why was she yelling for me? Had something bad happened? I threw the covers off my bed and, without putting on my slippers, raced downstairs to the living room. My mom sat on the couch, shaking her phone in her hand and smiling like she had won the lottery. “Maria, we’re going to New Mexico! We get to see Uncle Jerry and Uncle Andres! Go pack your clothes ,we’re leaving tomorrow!”
I ran upstairs to pack my clothes with a big bright smile on my face. I threw my clothes all over my room as if there were two cats and a dog fighting over food. All of the sudden, I hear the Romeo Santos song come on and I knew my alarm was ringing!
The next morning I woke up and got out of bed with my hair looking like an old broom. As I ran downstairs I tripped over my blanket. I heard my mom’s car go Beep! Beep ! All of the sudden,I heard my mom say,”Vamonos!!! Maria!! Se nos va hacer tarde.” I told her “Ya voy Mama ! Esperame!” But apperently my mom didn’t hear me. I closed the front door of the house and ran to the car.
When I got inside the car, I could see my mom was angry at me from the look on her face.I turned around and I got my earphones out of my bag and played my lovely music. I looked out the window and I could see the road as if there was no end to it.It took us thirteen hours to get to New Mexico.My mom told my sister and me that we were going to uncle Jerry's house because they had made dinner. When my mom told us we were going to my uncle Jerry's house I was full of excitement.
All of my family was at my uncle Jerry’s house and it was crazy how everyone didn’t look familiar. I was so happy I was able to see them after so long. The first day we stayed there we went to explore the town of Farmington, New Mexico. The first place we went was to the mall which was a ten minutes away from my uncles house.We went inside and it was very different from San Diego. I really didn’t enjoy the mall. There was no stores I would usually shop at. Once we got to the mall I had told my uncle about me disliking the mall. He leaned towards my mom and told her something in her ear.I wondered where we were going.
I got inside the car and as we got there I turned around and I could see water fountains! I was really excited because it was my first time there in the fountains. As we had fun my mom and aunt went to the ice cream shop and bought the most delicious ice cream for everyone.We sat down on the grass and ate our ice cream. After,we went back to my uncle’s house and took showers and watched movies on Netflix.
The next day we went to Church because it was Sunday and my family is used to going to church every Sunday.After mass was over,my uncle took us to eat to this fancy restaurant called China Inn. We all went as a family. My favorite part of the restaurant was that I was able to spend time with my family and eat as much delicious food I wanted. The next day it was time for us to head back to San Diego that was one of the saddest parts of my trip. I was crying because I didn’t want to leave my family I just wanted to stay with them for the rest of my life. So we packed our precious stuff and head back to my wonderful home in San Diego.
For this semester I learned that I can write better in quite room because i just get down all of my ideas in one piece of paper and just ready myself what i'm writing about because at the end i just don't know what i write about.I have improved on my writing because i learn how to get many ideas in one paper for example i use a scratch paper and after that i started to write down my summary.My next goal foe next year it to be more fluent in my writing and for it to actually make a lot of sense.For this semester we didn't do that much writing but yes we did had a big part on the scarlet ibis because it was an assignment.I really liked the way my teacher Erin showed me how to make an essay and gave us a sheet .
