I personally started writing when I was in 1st grade I believe. To be honest back then I really wasn’t inspired at all to write a book. I would think really differently and say that it was boring and I would want to do other things. Since I was really small school wasn’t my thing but the subject I enjoyed the most was math. So, the year continued and writing was just not my thing. Until this year 11th grade my teacher Mr.Rodriguez actually went deep into this book of writing and that’s when I got motivated because it was actually fun and we created this book as the way we wanted to be and come out. My theme of this book is music. Many people like listening to music. Music can have many genres, it could have romance, depressing, happy, etc. Depending on the mood you're in you could listen to any genre and probably cheer you up. I chose this specific theme because I really enjoy listening to it and hypes me up.
Introduction
My name is Giselle Carrasco and I am currently 16 years old. In my family we have 3 guys and 3 girls (including me). I am a middle child, 2 older brothers, then me, Little brother, and 2 little sisters. I am really glad that I have 2 older brothers since I could learn stuff from them, and also having younger siblings since I could take care of them and teach them new things. My both parents are from Mexico and they are from Puebla. They immigrated to the USA so we could have a better life. As for me, my favorite hobbies are Basketball, Volleyball, and Dancing. I started playing Basketball when I was 10 years old and played in a team for 2 years, but then I just stopped playing without having a reason. My favorite Basketball team in the NBA is the Golden State Warriors. Volleyball I barely started playing this past summer, I would go to the Boy’s and Girl’s club and that's where I enjoyed playing it. Lastly, I have liked dancing since I was young and right now I’m in the Dances of the World team. Another fact about me is that I like listening to music, the kind I like are corridos. My favorite band right now is Marca MP. I really enjoy spending time with my family and friends, especially party. Lastly, my favorite foods are Tacos, Posole, and Cemitas. What I would like to do in the future is either join the Marine Corps or have a good job in the Medical Field as a Pediatrician. I would like to join the Marine Corps since one of my brothers is in there and he says that he likes it and you do lots of exercise. Since, I go to the LAPD Cadets then we do exercise there then I would like to join the Marines too. On the other side, since I was small I wanted to be a doctor and now that I think about it, helping kids is my thing so I would like to be a Pediatrician Doctor. Now let's get into my Book of Writing about Music.

Hook (Lead / Opening Statement) – can begin with the title Anecdotal (Brief story to set the mood and lead the reader into the topic)
Corridos are the best songs that they could have.
Thesis Statements (the purpose of a piece of writing – usually one sentence in length, but can be longer depending on the purpose – must be something that is arguable)
Corridos play an important part in Mexican and Mexican American Culture. The name origin comes from the Spanish word meaning "to run." In Spanish this would be "correr". Corridos have a long history in Mexico, starting from the Mexican War of Independence in 1810 and throughout the Mexican Revolution. The earliest living specimens of corrido are adapted versions of Spanish romances or European tales, mainly about disgraced or idealized love, or religious topics. Many corrido bands write songs about what they’ve gone through or others have gone through but most of the time they're based on true stories. Those stories could be good, bad, heartbroke, love, Queryetc.
Why“you”)do people get so attached with corridos most of the time, and they have different themes to talk about?
Opinion (personal position on a topic)
Corridos provide good themes that you should definitely listen to too.

There are many groups that perform corrido, but the most notable of these are Los Tigres del Norte who has played a major role in the composition and popularity of today’s contemporary corrido. Among the other popular groups that play corrido are Los Cuates de Sinaloa, Los Tucanes de Tijuana, El Tigrillo Palma, Patrulla 81, Ramon Ayala and many more.
Ex. SUMMARY – This means that even though they have many vices on other stuff the only thing they think about is that one person they probably loved the most.
