I Believe in Working Things Out

I believe that even though me and my boyfriend of four years are having trouble right now, we’re going to work things out. We’ve managed to work our problems and keep our relationship alive. He means a lot to me and I’m 100% sure he feels the same way. We’ve been through everything together.

I remember the time when we broke up for six months. To me those weeks were hell. I was in love with a guy that wasn’t mine, even though the reason we were no longer together was my fault. I was still going through a lot. I didn’t want to end things like that, and deep down I knew he didn’t want to end it as well. It was hard because he had gone away to school, therefore we didn’t have no communication. I didn’t have his address and he wasn’t allowed to own a cell phone.

During that period of time, I thought I was going to go insane. Eventually, I ran into a friend that had seen him on one of his home visits. I got his number because he had asked her to give it to me. I texted him right way and he replied saying he was on his way back to school and wouldn’t be able to text any longer. He got my house address and we wrote letters back and fourth.

We worked things out and eventually started dating again. I believe we can always work things out, and talk about our feelings. After all, he’s my first love.

I believe nobody is perfect.

I believe nobody is perfect. We’ve all made mistakes once in our life time. Everyone deserves a chance. People come from all around the world. We all have different talents. I believe that we are all equal. Throughout my school years I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned a lot about friendship. I’ve always been reserved because of the fact that I was scared to share my feelings and thoughts with other kids. High school came along when I said to myself “it’s time for a change.” I started socializing with people more and getting to know them.

For example, I was finding out where they came from and what their culture was like. I believe friendship is important. We all want to trust someone and tell them things that we can’t tell anybody else. I now have three close friends that mean the world to me. One of them is African –American. I met her about 5 years ago. She’s such a sweet heart. I met her family too and saw how different her culture is than mine.
For example, the whole family eats dinner they put all of the food on the table and pray before they eat. I love that! That shows a lot of respect and how thankful they are with each meal of the day.

My second friend is Puerto Rican and Mexican. I love their food types. It’s so delicious! I enjoy hearing they accent. It’s way different than mine. Another thing is how they celebrate parties is amazing. They are really happy people. They always keep me with a smile on my face.

Last but not least, my best friend is from Costa Rica and Cuba. We spend lots of time together with her. I feel like were almost alike. We know so much about each other. I can tell her anything knowing that it will stay between me and her. We both know what we’ve been through and she’s the one that’s been there for me through thick and thin. Also I’m from Nicaragua and Costa Rica is right next to Nicaragua. Matter of fact, I have family that live in Costa Rica as well. It’s extremely fun when we’re together and around each other’s family because we all feel like just one huge family. I believe that we are all one of a kind. It makes it very interesting because everyone has a different story to tell.

I believe that everyone should have a chance.

I believe in being Peruvian and proud!

I believe that being Spanish or having something to do with South America is very unique and strong.

I am Peruvian!

In the beginning, people use to ask me what my nationality was and I would say I’m Peruvian. They would give me this “what is that?” face. I got so tired and embarassed of it that I would say I’m Dominican when I’m not Dominican at all.

Peruvians are very smart and educated and it is just a beautiful race. As I grew up, I realized that some other people would say they’re nationality was something very unusual and they used to say it very proudly. I thought “Why am I saying I’m Dominican!”

Being Peruvian is the best! I went on vacation to Peru after not visiting for like 6 years. I finally went and I even fell in love with the floor that has weird cracks and cool colors. When I say everything: the rocks the trees, the air, and most of all the food!

Ever since then I couldn’t say I’m Peruvian any prouder. My nationality is very important to me. Especially now that I’m not embarrassed to say it because most people don’t know what it is or where it is.

Peru has a beautiful story about the Incas and what they built. I love Peru because Peru literly has everything you can ever imagine, from beautiful Florida-like beach’s to jungle-like Africa, to great mountains that will take your breath away in the winter, and if you like being in the heat go to the deserts! Peru is like a Utopia! Like dead dogs!

So calling myself Dominican when I’m Peruvian was stupid. I know that faking a part of yourself is not good and I am ashamed. I have grown up and I gone through a lot more difficult things, but this situation has to be the one I’m most ashamed of. Now I know I’m more mature. I’m proud to be Peruvian more than ever, and I will never go through this situation again!

I believe in being Peruvian and proud!

I Believe in Guardian Angels and Music

Do you have any beliefs? Well I believe I can have as many beliefs as I want. My main belief is if you don’t deserve to die you shouldn’t. You should get another chance. Think about it. If you die from just being at the wrong place at the wrong time, that to me is not fair. For example, this fire fighter went to Wendy’s resturaunt with his son. He ordered a kid’s meal and when he was leaving he realized he’d gotten a girl toy instead of a boy’s toy.

And then BAM! He got shot by a crazy man that had no reason to shoot anybody. I feel that man didn’t deserve to die. He is the one that saves lives and now his son doesn’t have a dad. This world is filled with crazy, but this world would be better if we all had our own angel that can erase all of our mistakes and also most important give you another life if you happen to die mistakenly.


I believe in the power of music. First of all what is a party without music? To me music is everything, because when my parents fight and sometimes they take it out on me, I start feeling horrible, like my heart is sick and its making tears fall every second of that time. But when that happens, I put a CD in the stereo and vibe.In other words music makes me calm, I forget whatever was wrong with me, and I start singing, making myself feel alive, active and happy. I even got a tattoo of music. Think about it. This world would be nothing without music.

I Believe in Conversations Before Bed

I believe in having conversations every night with my boyfriend before going to bed. I believe in that because even though we are far away we can still talk about everything that’s going on and I know he’s okay. Being far away from him, it’s a little hard but by speaking to him every night, it makes me feel better.

He makes me feel good because he makes me feel like he cares about me. By having conversations every night with him, it makes me feel that even though we are far our love is still there. It’s challenge being countries away but at least we see that we can pass that challenge. I feel that he just doesn’t want to play with me, and that he’s able to pass this hardship just by taking the time to talk to me. He could be hanging out with his friends or talking to some other girl that lives close to him but he chooses to talk to me.

Every night we talk about what goes on in the day. He is not going through some good situations but by talking to him I give him some advice and try to help him even though I am here and his is there. I think if we didn’t talk every night my life wouldn’t be the same and I think I would feel depressed. We have gone through a lot of stuff together and I thought if everything ended when I moved away from him I would get really depressed. I give a lot for our relationship. I put even the most important thing to me, my family, just to continue our relationship. He means a lot to my life and by at least hearing him every night it gives me peace. The things we talk about make me think that we really care about each other and he’s able to continue.

I believe in conversations every night because they keep me and my boyfriend close, help me feel like I haven’t made a mistake choosing him over my family and it makes me look forward to our future together.

I Believe That Everyone Is Different

I believe that everybody is different in their own way.

I believe that we should not judge other people because it can hurt people’s feelings and it could cause emotional distress.

I believe that we should just let people be themselves and not try to change what they do or who they are-only if they want it.

I believe we shouldn’t kill innocent people because we need to think about the pain that person’s family has to suffer.

I believe that we shouldn’t do abortions because I want babies to live. That’s another person’s life and they deserve to live just like we do.

I Believe in Education At Any Age

I believe that no matter how old you are, you can still get your education. If you look around the world you would see some people that are under educated. Like for example, some of them didn’t finish high school or didn’t even go all the way through school. There are some that go to college but don’t even finish.

The way I see it, I think that they shouldn’t give up on themselves. I think that they should at least go to adult education or go to school online or try to go back to college. Some of them should go to adult education to at least graduate. If you are having family problems like one of your parents is sick or you are sick and a public school can’t handle you missing school, you should just go to adult education to get a better chance at school.

Also, I think that people shouldn’t give up on themselves and put themselves down. I think that people shouldn’t stop believing in their selves. Like for example, I dropped out of school in the 7th grade but then my family kept telling me that I can do it and I can finish school so now I am back in school trying my hardest to finish school. I’m actually focusing in my classes. Getting my education will help me go to college, get a job, and feel less ignorant. I believe that school is for every body and every body can do their best to finish school.

I Believe in God

I believe in God.
I believe there’s a future.
I believe judgment day shall come.
I believe in myself.
I believe there’s a tomorrow.
I believe in the after life.
I believe in good education.
I believe everybody is unique.
I believe you shouldn’t judge someone by the way they act nor the way they look.
I believe in finding good role models.
I believe in achieving my dreams.
I believe in becoming a lawyer.
I believe in my daughter having a better life then me.
I believe in graduating high school.
I believe in being successful.
I believe in being trustworthy to everyone.
I believe in being financially stable.
I believe in having a plan B.
I believe everybody’s different in their own ways.
I believe in getting my work done.
I believe in eating healthy.

I Believe that Life Should Be Good to the Ones that Try

I believe that life should be good to the ones that try…

and all innocent ones should have a voice where they could be heard and express themselves. I believe that everyone who made an effort would get noticed more, and we would only carry the burdens of our own mistakes. I wish we would be judged fairly and we wouldn’t feel like the negative over ran the positive.

There was a time that I remember, and will never forget. My baby brother was born February eighth and his life was taken immediately after. He died in April just two months after his birth date. Its sad because still today I think a lot of what he could have been in the future if he was still alive. He was innocent and didn’t know anything of hoe he could have stopped himself from crying before he suffocated himself to death.

He was at his day care and the baby sitter wasn’t paying attention. At first, we were furious with her but when it came down to it, it could have happened to anyone because it was a terrible mistake. I still believe that the baby should have been lucky enough to deserve a second chance, but obviously he wasn’t, and his life was cut real short. I don’t know why it had to happen like that, but I do know if there ever was a mistake that was made, a life shouldn’t be the cost of it. Or it even shouldn’t be something remembered for too long as a painful memory. There should always be another chance, at least to those who are innocent or to those that try.

I Believe That What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

I believe that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. That everytime we get a problem or a conflict and you go through it, it makes you stronger. When I think about all I’ve been through it makes me feel like I’m stronger and that I can do anything and be a better person.

When I found out I was pregnant, I thought I couldn’t do it, That it was too hard. When I was in labor I felt I was going to die. But when she was born I couldn’t believe she was here. Before Tiffany was born, I thought I knew what love was but when Tiffany was born into my life, the love that I felt for her was stronger than anything I ever felt. Before Tiffany was born I was irresponsible. I didn’t go to school, I didn’t worry about how my actions would effect me or anybody.

I also became stronger physically. I thought the pain of the labor was going to kill me. Since that happened, I notice that I could handle any pain.

Well, like I said what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger…

I Believe Anyone Can Survive a Strong Childhood

I believe that anyone can survive a strong childhood. I believe that my mom struggled a lot because when she was young, my mom worked in a circus. She didn’t go to school. My mom’s family didn’t have so much.

When my mom was younger she had to learn how to do things that were hard for her. She had to learn how to do splits. It took a long time but my mom did it. It was hard for her because it hurt her. When you do a split you have to go all the way down, and if I was to do that I would cry.

My mom never went to school. The only time she could have school is when somebody would teach them or when there was no performance and they didn’t learn much. When my mom came here to the U.S as an adult she went to school at night and now she got her G.E.D. I’m happy that she did that even though it took a long time. She was proud that she did it.

My mom's family didn’t really have so much because they didn’t have enough money. They always had food in the trailer where they slept and in that trailer they had a kitchen. But what they did to make some more money was let my grandma make sandwiches. They bought sodas and sold them to people who wanted some sandwiches and that money they made was to save it just in case they need it my Grandma still sell sandwhiches and sodas and that money they make goes for my Grandpa's medicine because he is diabetic. I'm happy that my mom made it through her experiences and I’m lucky that it didn’t happen to me. No matter what people say about my family. I will always love them.

I Believe in Peace

I believe in peace.
I believe everyone should have a chance to live.
So I guess I believe in no abortion.
I believe we shouldn’t let people die on the streets so healthcare should be free.
I believe that children shouldn’t be abused.
I believe children shouldn’t feel neglected.
I believe everyone is equal.
I believe gays should be accepted
I believe men and women are the same no matter what.
I believe people should love each other more.
I believe in freedom of speech.
I believe if you’re committed to something you should stay with it.
I believe all darkness must turn into light.
I believe no one is alone even if they feel like it.
I believe everything happens for a reason.
I believe in love at first sight.
I believe if you se something you want to do you should do it.
I believe I believe the government is unfair.
I believe immigrants should come and go as they please.
I strongly believe everyone should feel like they belong and be accepted no matter how much someone puts the down.

I Believe in the Strength of Young Mothers

I believe that every young girl that is a mother or is going to be a mother has an opportunity to become some one in life. You shouldn’t care what people think or say about you. No matter what struggles you face in life if you have a young one in your arms or growing inside of you I believe you can make it in life. Some people think that because you’re young and you’re pregnant or you have a one, you ruined your life and that’s not true. Having a baby is a wonderful thing. It’s a blessing that God sent to you. Maybe you’re really young and you made a mistake by putting yourself in that situation, but no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, but life goes on.

I can relate to the struggles these moms go through because I have a young one. It was a very hard thing for me and every day its harder but I believe I can make it. I can be some one in life for my child. Manny people talk and try to bring me down, but life goes on. My child is my world and he gives me the strength to go on in life. When I’m sad he makes me smile. I love being his mom. It is the most awesome feeling in life.

My main goal is to graduate from high school. This is important so I can become what I want to become in life. I want to offer my child a better life than the one I have and give him better surroundings. From now on, I’m going to try hard in school and not worry about the people around, because they’re not going to solve my problems in life. I believe I can accomplish all this in life and more. I know that I will have something to offer my child. All the struggles I face in my life right now are making me a stronger person and in the long run everything is going to fall in place. So far those girls out there that are in my same situation don’t give up; believe you can make it when no one else thinks that you can prove them wrong, because I know we can make it.

I Believe that Mothers and Daughters Should Be Best Friends

I believe that mothers and daughters should be best friends and a mother should be responsible parent. Also, I believe that a mother can tell her daughter secrets, and tell her to clean her room, and also clean the bathroom. But that’s not even close to what me and my mom have.

My mom does tell me to clean and she expects me to always be honest with her. But how can I be honest with her when she’s never honest with me? I can’t tell my mom anything because if I do next thing I know, my family and her friends come up to me and ask me, “Oh, is this true?” It’s okay if she told her best friend or some family members. They don’t talk a lot of stuff or go and tell other people or come and ask me about it. But she likes to tell other people and they have big mouths.

If I ever have a daughter or son I will want them to know that I’m there for them and that they can come to me for anything and also that they can trust in me. I don’t want my children to have the same relationship I have with my mom. So when I become a mother along time from now, I believe I will become a great mother.

I Believe That People Shouldn't Judge Other People

I believe that people shouldn’t judge other people from their first appearance. At my school, when new students arrive they sometimes think I’m “mean and nasty.” They think this because of my hair and jewelry and piercing.

I’m only mean and nasty sometimes, but most of the time I’m always laughing and goofy and making everyone laugh. I don’t want to change my appearance because I like how I look. People say “you look so pretty without all of that. Why do you wear it?” I respond that I feel like I look good with my long fake hair and my long eye lashes and my beaming jewelry and peircings. I think its very sexy. But I guess when people look at me, I just look to them like a thugged-out female, gangster hoochie. I don’t think making that type of impression will get me that far in life, but I’m just not changing it for “NOBODY.”

I Believe that Everyone Deserves a Second Chance

I believe that everyone should have a second chance. I mean not only in relationships but in life like jobs and school. Everyone makes mistakes and just because some people want them to be perfect they end up panicking and failing. I don’t think they deserve to be laid off from their jobs. That’s why some people end up homeless or on drugs because people expect them to do more then what they can handle. So when they start having kids they don’t have any where to go and no way to feed them.

So they start to do things they don’t want to do like sell drugs, striping or stealing, borrowing from people or banks to put a roof over their kids head, food in their stomachs, of clothes on their backs, and that’s how they end up in debt because they have no money to pay them back. So they do the most hardest thing ever: they give their kids to foster care. But it’s for the best, so they can live a better life. I don’t know but I just think that everyone deserves a second chance and maybe next time they will do better.

I Believe in the Power of No Regrets

I believe in the power of no regrets.

Yes, there are a lot of regrets I have, but in a way I don’t regret them because it makes me who I am today.

In some ways I regret pushing my brother, and the long story that goes with that. Also, I regret going to Military School, Boarding school, Juvenile assessment program, being baker acted, and Leaving High School every semester.

In other ways, I don’t regret going to all those places because I’ve taken a little bit more experiences with me. Like, I have met so many police officers, counselors, other kids, and teachers in the places I’ve been. And they all have taught me something different. Like, they taught me that nothings what it seems, don’t regret, move on and live like there’s no tomorrow, most importantly they taught me to forgive and forget.

My experiences all make me who I am. I only regret these experiences when I tell someone where I’ve been. They think of me as a trouble maker, or a psycho. But, they don’t know the story behind why I was sent these places.

Yeah, I’ve said hurtful things, and done hurtful things to people. If I get in a fight with a girl her mom automatically says-“It’s because she went to____.” Or police officers think I shouldn’t ever get in trouble because I’ve been to military school.

One time, a cop said to me that they might as well shut down the whole Military school because apparently it’s not working. Wow! Slap me in the face! But, he didn’t even know why that program didn’t work for me.

Yeah when people say things like that, it makes me regret going. But, I don’t! The way I see it, I went to those places to help me with my problems, not to impress you, or make you happy. I did it for me! So, you may try to make me regret it. But, I’m not going to. I stopped regretting, and accepted where I’ve been, and what I’ve done. Because it makes me, me!

I Believe in the Importance of Employment

I believe in the importance of employment. I was walking down the street and I saw a homeless guy asking for money. I felt bad and gave him a dollar and he told me how he lost his job and didn’t have anywhere to live and how he can’t find anybody that hiring. Employment is important because when you don’t have a job, and you don’t have money you feel like you can’t do anything and that you’re crap because you’re nothing. I always feel bad for people so when I see people on the streets asking for money and food I give them my spire change. I just think everyone should have a job so they don’t die of hunger. If I became president I would help the people that don’t have a job get a job so that they have somewhere to stay.

To make sure I find employment one day, I will try hard in school so I can get an education and be really smart so I can get a job. The job is to be a crime scene investigator.

I Believe that Anything Is Possible

I believe that anything is possible and we can’t make progress without struggles.
When I get angry and I don’t explode that’s progress.

I don’t express my anger physically any more. I count to ten. I have to control my anger because im going to be a teen mom. I have to stop being angry because that influences my baby. It stresses him and me.

I'm making a lot of changes and I struggle to do it but im learning. I want my son to believe that he can control his temper an think of his mom as a role model because im changing my ways for my baby and growing up for him. I want my son to do the same as me. That’s why I believe that anything is possible and we can't make progress without struggles.
