Determined and Daring to Dream

by David Areche

I am nice and kind

I wonder if I'm going to be successful in the future

I hear the wind

I see myself being something good in the future I want to be in the NBA

I pretend to be like no one I feel somebody walk past me I touch my pet fish Nemo I worry about something bad happening to me I cry about stuff sometimes I am smart and funny

I understand that I’m not perfect

I say that I will be something good in the future

I dream that I will be an NBA player

I try my best in everything I do

I hope that nothing goes downhill for me I am determined and hardworking

A Chaotic Caring Combo

by David Areche

I am from my enormous living room From coconut oil shampoo and conditioner I am from my messy bedroom with shoes all over the place and my bathroom that smells of flowers I’m from my kitchen where I can taste my grandmother's delicious lasagna I am from the smell of Febreeze

The red rose plant I have The trees outside my home

I am from the beautiful dance of salsa and curly hair I am from Angellica and Socrates I am from an attitude problem family and a lot of gossiping

I am from my grandma telling me to “Do your homework” and “Who you talking to like that” I'm from listening to “Twinkle twinkle little star” and

“Rain rain go away” I am from Thanksgiving I am from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and my parents are from Dominican Republic and Ecuador I am from arroz con pollo y habichuelas From my grandma telling a lot of horror stories since she was a kid
