I can speak conversational Spanish, but I really want to become a fluent speaker. I really want to live in a Spanish speaking country. I don’t have any friends who speak fluent Spanish so it’s hard to get better.

How I did it: I have had dogs, cats, mice, rats, birds, hamsters, fish, crickets, salamanders, and a pet pig. Mikey (the pig) was my favorite. Pigs are very intelligent creatures and absolutely adorable. My mom went to a farm and bought Mikey after letting them know we were keeping it as a pet and not planning on killing it. We thought he was a pot-belly, but there was hog mixed in and he grew to 300 pounds, but he was adorable.… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Growing up all my mother cared about was being pretty and making me "pretty"; so I wanted to be everything but. She always made me wear dresses and curled my hair and told me I was pretty, I hated it. Everyday when i went to school I would change my clothes and mess up my hair, my response when people asked why, "Because I'd rather look ugly than look in a mirror and not see myself."After my mom stopped controlling my outward … Read how I did it…
I have had the hardest year of my really hard life. On June 20, 2008 my biological father killed himself, then not even a year later, on June 5, 2009, my dad (technically step-dad) died of cancer. When my bio father died I was very angry and couldn’t understand how he could be so selfish. The reason he killed himself was because my step-mom was going to divorce him. He was a jerk and a horrible father, but he is still half the reason I have to live, so I guess I am slightly thankful for that. My dad on the other hand was the greatest person I have ever met, and I cannot get past the fact that he isn’t here anymore, I can’t call him, or hug him, or tell him I love him. He was my favorite person and we were best friends. When my mom wanted him sent to hospice I fought for him to come home because that’s what he wanted, so I got it for him. When he needed someone to be with him 24/7 and make sure he took all his meds, I did that for him. When couldn’t speak or think anymore, I told him it was okay and that he could go, we would be okay, he did that for me. And when he died in my living room I turned off his breathing machine, held his hand and told him I loved him, and called the nurse and funeral home. And at his funeral I gave his eulogy. I was there for him just like he was there for me since I was one and a half. And I miss him soooooooooooo much, I don’t know what to do anymore but I can’t stop crying.
I love you dad, and I miss you so much, I hope I can see you again some day.
