    I have a German Shepherd named Sammy. I got it as a Valentine's Day present 7 years ago. He's been such a great company and is always there to make me happy. One of the things that I love about him is the way he acts, which lets me think that the only thing he's missing in order to be a human is to talk.

    Sometimes he scratches the door and starts moving his plate with his paw for me to give him food. In others, he sits on the couch and lays there looking at you with a martyr glance or he just gets inside the house by opening the door (which is barely half opened) and starts running around the house playing.

    Also in some cases when he kills bugs he goes to where I am and tries to show me what he did, even though it could be a little disgusting sometimes or even sit on one of the chairs of the kitchen, it's really funny. I really love Sammy.

  2. #3 Sometimes lies can have serious consequences. Describe a time in your life when a lie had a serious consequence for you.

    i had a friend(Tellez) in guadalajara. Tellez was known to be kind of sneaky and cheater. Tellez liked to play jokes and pranks.Tellez didnt knew how to control himself.

    so one day someone(Alex)played a prank on him and he didnt liked it. so Tellez start saying lies about Alex. Tellez said Alex smoked at the bathrooms. that he was the one who graffiti on the rooms.

    so the lies spreaded even more and more that it reached a big level. the director expelled Alex and his parents started a fight against the school. Obviously everyone got angry at Tellez because we all knew that he was the one that did those things. but we didnt telled the principal because we didnt thought it reached a big level. So tellez admitted that it was all his fault. so the principal of the school apoligies to Alex and expelled Tellez. Tellez learned that it was bad to tell lies and play pranks on people.

  3. 2. People often say, "Don't judge a book by its cover." Describe a time when you misjudged someone solely on his or her appearance or when someone misjudged you.

    Well, when i entered the school, i was really really shy, and i didn't talk to nobody. This girl named Valeria came to me and some other girls and said she came to socialize, and i thought she was really anoying.

    Other girl, named Betsy also talked to me, but i thought she wasn't nice either. Some weeks later, it was my birthday and we went to carl's jr to eat something, there we started talking and i realized they were really nice. I misjudged them.

    Now we are inseparable best friends and i realized is bad to judge someone, because you don't know how they really are until you get close with them :)

  4. 6. Some of our richest experiences take place when we travel. Tell about a memorable experience you had when you were traveling.

    I have been to several places, my family loves to travel, and I had the oportunity to go to Spain. I had the greatest time there, I learned aobut the culture and it's people.

    But I learned something really important, that nothing compares to home. Yes, we may think Hermosillo is not the greatest place ever, or that is just plain and boring and that there's nothing good to do here. That is a lie.

    Spain didn't had all the good food, actually it was pretty disgusting, probably the worst food that I've ever tasted, even the Burgers tasted different and I wanted to die. They are way too liberal there for my liking and I'm not ready for that.
    But you learn to accept those different, but nothing compares to home :)
