I am Paul Martinez and at my 18 years of age I find my self in a awesome and beautiful place. I had the opportunity of coming here just a year ago and I´m very thankful to my parents that supported me in every way which with out their help this experience would have been completely impossible. I was born in Mexico City in 1995 and shortly after that I moved to Akumal a small fishing town along the Caribbean coast. I spent my childhood surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape of white sand beaches, turquoise water and tropical jungle with a large variety of wildlife.
In kindergarten I assisted to a Montessori school which promoted the moral values of humanity. Afterwards I attended a Waldorf school which had great emphasis on arts and the develompment of human as an aromic being in concordance with the nature. Through out the elementary school I developed tastes for the arts which the school had and offered many means to help me succed in this field that until today I keep sharpening. Thanks to my school and its great education everyone in my class and the in whole school developed sence of taking care of the planet helping as you could not mattering how small the action was, the intention was what counted and if every person helped with their small grain of sand it would make a huge difference. Since a child I always enrolled and volunttered in beach cleaning campaings and projects which I did not only for the helping but the pleasure of being on the beach on a beatiful place I was blessed to be living in. I was tought to play the flute but I never developed likes for other instruments which at this day I regreat and I know it isnpt to late to start, it never is but simply I haven´t have enough willpower to make it happen.
As for sports I found my self attracted to swmming since a little kid, well anyone who lived in the place I used to would have done it too, it is imposible to resist to that caribbean turquoise warm water. After

    I made my way across the parking lot, towards the entrance to the gym. As I reached the double doors I paused, then slowly turning, I attempted to take in as much of the outside view as I could. I saw a green meadow dotted with a few thoughtfully placed picnic tables, a few baseball, and soccer fields. I also noticed that this place is home to a busy skateboard park right beside a well-kept playground. My pan of the scene had revealed to me that this place has grown into something more than what I had remembered it to be. Today this center welcomes people of all ages. In contrast, when the U.S. Air Force ran this facility it was for military personnel and their adult dependents. It was a simple gymnasium with a couple of minimally groomed baseball diamonds and multipurpose fields, lacking any beauty. Today, the sturdy old building and surrounding fields are a beautiful sight to behold, and maintained by a local community services organization. The quick survey of the sports center had reminded me that this place is still serving the community in a big way with its available venues and activities.…

    “The Meeting” The room is silent other than the steady hum of the air conditioner. Businessmen and location supervisors all sit around a large rectangular table, waiting for the man in charge. There is a projector screen at the head of the table with an opening slide displayed. It reads “Monthly Safety meeting” in plain black text on a white background. A few of the men lean back in their chairs and relax. Two start a casual conversation. Even in the silence of the room I cannot understand them because they are mumbling so quietly. It’s an early Monday morning, and everyone is still a little drowsy from the weekend.…

    I love the idea of writing about myself, and especially how I came to this country, the greatest nation in the world, United States of America. I’m Cuban, generally those who live there, for one reason or another want to leave the island and left behind the fake revolution.

    My entire life has revolved around sports. Growing up, I spent most of my childhood weekends at hockey rinks all across New England watching my two older brothers play. It was only a matter of time before I laced up my very own pair of skates. I immediately fell in love with every aspect of hockey. My teammates and coaches were like my family and my hometown rink was my second home. This is where my passion for sports began.…

    I am drawn to the thought that I have done nothing but walked hand in hand with sports, right through every important aspect of my life I have been able to rely on athletics to keep me going, through times of need, stress, confusion, and discomfort it has been that crutch I have needed to keep me on the right path In school and out of school as well. Of course the exhaustion made it tough when it came down to having to do late night home work sessions and time management, but I fell as if it made my character as well as personality stronger. Having to do this only made me want to have the drive to do better and the want to succeed in life. Because of this, sports are more than just a hobby, yet alone game for entertainment.…

    I joined a community outreach program where we went to a surrounding town’s housing complex and helped the kids after school with homework. I worked with a student, who when I started was in kindergarten, his name was Jordian. When I first started going he could barely sit still in a chair, he could barely count 5 and was not close to reading. When I left my senior year he would come in and mostly everyday sit and start his homework. He was now adding without much difficulty and starting to learn multiplication. During reading time he would sit down and work on his reading. Helping the kids not only learn but make a positive impact on their lives is something I will keep with me forever.…

    My best friend Leah Nepomuceno is one of the strongest people I know, especially when it comes to family. Family to her is everything and she has done all she can to try and keep hers together as a whole. We were in sixth grade swinging on the swings outside at recess, whispering and giggling about our usual gossip when she received news from one of our teachers that we knew was serious by the look on her face and fear in her voice. She came up to us and told her she needed to go the office and that she was being dismissed, she gave me permission to walk with her inside. On the short but long felt walk inside Leah's heart was pounding, her hands were sweating, and her eyes were slowly filling with tears. Her mom was sitting in the big, blue, leather office chair with many of our elementary school teachers huddled around her sharing their sincere heart felt sympathy and much needed support. Leah's mom, Deb, had found out that day that her husband Ron, Leah's dad, was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The doctor had told Deb that is was going to slowly take away all of his muscles, eventually killing him and there was no cure for it. This news was heart wrenching for me to hear, since they were my second family, I grew up with them, Ron was my second dad. "It was like the last 11 years of memories with my dad flashed before my eyes and I didn't know what to do besides think of all the things we haven't done that we need to do before he dies," Leah replied when I asked her what her first thought was when she heard the news (Nepomuceno). Just talking to her now about it, 7 years later, is still just as heart breaking and you can hear the sadness in her voice.…

    I was born on 1997 on the Caribbean Island of Cuba. Many might know this country for it’s political issues, and the new agreements between the Cuban President and Barack Obama. What many don’t know about Cuba is that it is full of entertaining history and has a culture that differs a lot with the American Culture. In just 780 miles we have the musical rhythm that every Latino has, delicious food that make out mouths water, and the unique aspect of being the Island lost in time. But even thought Cuba is full of culture, coming to America is a precious experience that I have lived and will always remember. Being an immigrant in the United States has taught me what the real american dream is. The opportunities this place has given me and the…
