What are Words- Chris Medina

What Are Words by Chris Medina is a song that reflects on what the composer is going through in his daily life. The composer, Chris Medina auditioned for American Idol this year, and the main reason why he wanted to at least make it to Hollywood was to make his fiancée happy. His fiancée and him have been engaged for almost three years, the reason why it’s been taking so long for them to get married is because she suffered an accident which made her go into a comma for over a month and ended up  with brain damage. The lyrics of the song, are very meaningful, they express how words are promises, which need to be kept. In his case, he kept the promise of them getting married, and he explains that “What kind of guy would I be if I was to leave you when you need me most”. Unluckily he wasn’t accepted in the top 25 in American idol but at least his fiancée was able to meet Jennifer Lopez, Randy and Steve, and she was able to see her fiancée try his best and do whatever it took to be part of the competition, just to make her happy and put a smile on her face. 

New Driver in the Family

Since October 2010, my older sister began college, here in Venezuela. Since she was becoming more and more independent, she began to learn how to drive. Over time, she felt the need of a car, or in other words my mom’s car. She wanted to start to drive as soon as possible, so she took her driving classes, and practiced almost every weekend until she gained my parents confidence. After fighting for months and months to finally get my mom’s old car, she did it! On February 2011 they gave her the car. I could notice she loved the sensation, of freedom; she couldn’t wait to go anywhere she could. Now, she is a total pro, I think I can also use it as an advantage, since if my parents can’t take me somewhere… She can!

Then I got myself thinking, in a few years that will be me. Driving, going anywhere I want, returning at any time I want, and having the same sensation of freedom my sister does. But of course, it’s only a faze, wanting to separate from your parents and become more independent. Anyways hopefully I will gain my parents trust easier than my sister, since she had to go through a lot of obstacles and mine are already done. 

Memorable Weekend

On January 20^th till the 23^rd, three friends and I went to the beach. We stayed in Sofi’s house in Caraballeda, then we went to Puerto Azul, which is a club, and then we went to a further beach called, Caruao. We had planned this weekend for days, since it was four day weekend. And what stood out the most was that we became closer friends, we took a bunch of pictures, we got in the pool and in the beach and last but not least we got tanned. But of course, like responsible students Thursday after school we all did our homework, so we didn’t have to worry about it when we got home on Sunday. Unluckily Me Claudia and Isa, the three of us ended up with no cellphones when we came back, except for Sofi! We had all taken our cellphones to the beach because   we had talked to our moms to let them know that we were going to Caruao. Therefore when we arrived in Caruao we put our bags with our cellphones, in a high and unreachable rock, which there was no possibility that a wave could reach that high. However when we were eating some snacks, we notice our bags and towels were floating in the sea… which meant are cellphones were there and had gotten wet. But for some reason the only dry and safe cell phone was Sofi’s. Lucky her right? We were all highly disappointed, but we will never regret that weekend since it was the best of all.
