"It is better to be alone than in bad company"- George Washington 1732-1799.
      What I think makes a person "good company" is a good spirit, because if you don't have a good spirit, you don't have the feeling to do anything. If I would pick five people (dead or alive) to join me for dinner, I will pick the following. Queen Elisabeth 1, because she inspires me to become a better leader, even though we are ladies. Janet Jackson, because she is a great singer, songwriter, and a dancer. She has also inspired me to follow my dreams. Rhianna, because she is a strong leader, yet a good singer too. Cleopatra, because even though she was very young she rule more than have a country and did as much as possible to do what she was meant to do. Finally, Britney Spears, because after 1 year of suffering public humiliation, she is now back to singing and dancing as if nothing had happened.

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a mans character, give him power."- Abraham Lincon 1809-1865

    Why I think Mr.Lincon said this quote because Mr.Lincon was going through tough times in his life, like the Civil War. I can imagine how Mr.Lincon felt during the Civil war, depressed, because of the war within his loved country, sad, because they might blame him if either side of the country loses, and finally ashamed, ashamed of the way he has been treating his country.
    When I'm going through tough times, I imagine myself in a place of peace, a place where there is no fights, war, or descrimination. Adversity gives me power to stand up for myself.

"The most wasted day of all is that on which we have not laughed."-Sebastian Roch Nicolas Chamfort, 1741-1794

 I think this quote is great. The things that really make me laugh are, when a person that I hate falls really really funny and then awkwardly stands up and falls again!!!!!!!! I also laugh when my sister gets really frustrated for no reason at all!!! Finally, the thing that really makes me laugh is when somebody make a fool of themselves, by saying something really dumb, like my cousin Rodolfo (we call him Toto) said "nuh-nuh boo-boo," with his eyes crossed!! He looked hilarious!!!!!

About seven years ago, today, the the Twin Towers got smashed by an Iraqi airplane. I was a pre-kindergardener, getting ready for school, when I saw the airplane crash against the side of the building on T.V. I started to cry, because....... it was just to scary and sad to remember. So today, I honor and respect all the people that risked their lives to save other people in danger. I will never forget 9-11. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

How can I become an IB Learner

I think that I can become an IB learner by..... being open-minded about the world around me, and to be a risk-taker. By being a risk-taker, I can succeed in everything I do. IB learners also need to be great thinkers, and be very reflective about themselves, like if you do something wrong, think about what you did wrong and how you can change it.

     I think Idea Collage Prep School is different than my other school school because one hundred percent of the students of idea go to collage!!!!!
     Also the MYP program here, in Idea is way different than in my last school. Here they explain how to use the Design Cycle the right way.
     I also think that ALL the teachers here in Idea are very knowledgeable and very caring about the school and ALL the students.
