True Identity

True Identity is something that no one has to know about you. No one has to know your race, your roles you play in life, or even the Jobs that you do. What's important is that you know your true identity and that your proud of it. Everyone has a identity or things that some people may or may not know. I'm Catholic, and Mexican, which means I'm part of more than one group of people. I also play for sports teams and even a teenager. All these groups that I'm a part of shape who I am and what my identity is. Another part of your identity is the roles you play in life. I'm a brother, a dog owner, friend, son. Those roles also describe my identity because I'll always be playing these roles. One last thing that could really be a part of your identity are the Jobs you do. You don't to be old and have a college degree to have jobs (at least one that doesn't involve you mowing the lawn for $5). Of course a big job that every child plays until at least there mid 20's, is being a student. We might not get paid money to learn, but we get paid in knowledge that eventually will get you money. These are things are a big part of my identity because I do these jobs or play these roles everyday. Everyone has something about them that makes up there true identity, and they should. It is important to always know your true identity.

My Dream Future

We're do I see myself in 10 years from now? I can't really predict my future, but I'm always gonna try to live up to my dreams. I know that I'll still be in college, but close to graduating. I'm hoping that I can play for a professional sports team, mainly basketball because that's the sport I'm best at. If that doesn't work out, I want to be a executive for one of the Chicago sports teams, mainly for the Chicago Cubs. I'm just hoping to live in a good size house or apartment in a major city, and own a nice car that I paid for. I don't think I'll be ready for marriage, especially since I'm too young. Although I hope to travel to different countries, and be adventurous. I know some of my other dreams like having an expensive car, or living in a penthouse in New York, but I'm just hoping in 10 years, I have a good head start to my future, and sort of figure out the rest of my life.

12 States - 2 Weeks

As we entered the plane, I rose with excitement. A long exciting trip was ahead. Traveling is something that brings me joy. I always love to go to new places, and explore historic landmarks. Although if there's nothing really to see, I mostly enjoy the outdoor scenery like mountains, forests, waterfalls. I knew from the start that the trip was going to be long and tiring. Our plan was to go to New Hampshire for my brothers High School Graduation. Then we would drive to New York and spend a night there. After that we would drive to Washington D.C. And spend about 5-6 days near the city. I knew it was going to be exhausting since we were gonna be out all day everyday. I have never been to New York or Washington before. It was going to be exciting.

"Congratulations, class of 2017". The crowd roared with cheer and high spirits as there sons and daughters just graduated High School. It took me and my family a while, but we were able to find my brother. He had a diploma in one hand, his phone in the other, and a lit cigar in his mouth. It was tradition for graduates. He was so excited and so were his fellow classmates. They were happy, but I couldn't stop thinking about our road trip to Washington and New York. Unfortunately, I still had to wait a few days. My brother had some parties, and my parents didn't want to deny him. Wednesday morning finally came, and we were all pretty tired. None of us wanted to get out of bed, but unless we wanted to drive late at night, then we had to leave early. We loaded the car with our luggage, and started our long drive to New York. It wasn't that bad though, considering it was only four hours. I've survived worse. We only spent one night in New York, but we were able to see a lot. We ended up going to Times Square for about 5-6 hours. It was different from the pictures I saw. We had dinner, saw some street performers, and unexpectedly didn't do any shopping. It was one of the best nights of my life.

Last stop on the map, Washington D.C. Even though we only stopped in New York and Washington, we still passed by different states, including Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, New Jersey, and West Virginia. It was another grueling four hour drive to D.C. Since this was the city we wanted to see the most, we stayed for almost a week. We pretty much saw every historic landmark and artifact that Washington owned. The best building we saw was the White House. It was weird because it didn't even look that big from the outside. We saw some other artifacts such as the constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights. Overall it was a great trip. I learned and saw a lot of places and artifacts that have been around for centuries. I will never forget those two long, painful, but great weeks.
