3 Weeks ago, something unbelievable happened. It was raining and all the cars were leaving the church in a single file line. Everyone felt satisfied and content with taking time from a Friday afternoon to talk with God at his house ( the church). On the road that everyone has to take to leave the church, there is construction going on. It was 10 pm and the stop sign was barely visible. That road is known to be dangerous because cars always speed on it and 3 accidents had already occurred; nothing major.

An F-150 truck was slowly passing by, when all of a sudden; a Mercedes hits the truck from the side. Glass shattered everywhere and the truck spins and flips to its side twice. The car behind the truck is frozen in place with dread and fear of whom the family was. All that is left is a 9 year old little girl lying on her back in the middle of the street, an 11 year old and the could stuck in the truck. The dad tries to reach for one, then the other daughter, but pain shoots all the way from his hip to his ankle. The mother cries in hysteria.

Later on that night, the hospital room is packed with family. Non of which are blood-related, but any person from our church is family. The doctor tells everyone with tears in her eyes that there is nothing she can do to save the 9 year old, Fanny. Fanny was the only one not wearing her seat belt. She flew out of her seat, through the windshield, and the truck landed on top of her little fragile body. Externally, only a small head injury was visible. Although the wound was not big, it was very deep and her insides were completely destroyed.

The big family continued to pray in that little packed room. The voices echoed through the hall as they called God to do his will. A scripture from the bible was recited and they called out to fanny 3 times. There was a mysterious beep on the monitor she was hooked up to. For the closing to the prayer, they called her name out again. The monitor gave one last beep. Although her family was very sad, they were happy to know their daughter was in a better place.

It was amazing to witness the power of prayer and to see family come united in times of need.
If only everyone was this nice.

no place like home

so these are my roommates... BRI..ME...Aly...Joy.
My roommates are very special to me. The only problem is that they are super messy and really loud. I like to have fun AFTER im done with my school work. This semester all they wanted to do was party everynight and skip their first two classes to sleep in. I think skipping class everyday is stupid because we PAY FOR COLLEGE, this is not public school! I am a neat freak, therefore; I am constantly cleaning. The bad thing is they never help with the cleaning. Whenever I had tests early in the morning, they would not respect that and come home making a tremendous cacaphony. I can not stand it anymore. The kitchen and the living room is always a mess. It is disgusting, I thought only boys' dorms could smell so badly, obviously some girls are pigs too! Im not mad at them, I am just a little fed up. My parents do not mind if i live a little longer with them. I am very independent,but there is no place like home!

justice

Today i got pulled over. I was going 75 in a 55 zone. The car in front of me was going about 85 in the 55 zone. The police car was right behind me but he did not turn on his lights just yet. I started to decrease my speed slowly. As soon as he pulled up next to me and noticed I was hispanic he pulled me over. I was a little nervous, but I was like let God's will be done. The officer just said let me see your license. I already had it out, so I just handed it to him. I have never seen a cop stare at a license for SO LONG. Then, he handed it back and said, " you went too fast a multiple of times, slow down it's a 55 zone. I was in shock. He had just assumed I did not have a license. The cop had been following for a really long time, but he did not pull me over until he got a good view of me. Another thing is that the car in front of me was clearly going so much faster. The cop could have easily passed me and cought up to the car in front. I was in shock. I was really mad and upset. I know there are so many hispanics driving withought a license, but at that moment i WISHED he would have given me a ticket. The real reason he pulled me over was because he thought i did not have a lisence. I was so offended! One day i will be someone with power in this country. A black male made it to presidency, I am determined to be the first hispanic female to be something great as well! In this country, the possibilities are endless with hardwork!
