Bio Poem
Natalie
Nice, funny, weird, shy at times
Mariana, Sarah, Laura, Rosario
Abel & Laura Rodriguez
Who feels great after a long nap and who feels terrible after crying, I hate crying.
I like elephants, funny people, and I like the idea that I'm still living.
I fear getting one of my parents mad, getting stuck in the middle of a ride upside down, and seeing somebody that’s important to me die.
Who would like to see a beautiful sunset at the beach, who would like to see all the wonderful wonders of the world, and who would like to see lanterns rise to the starry beautiful night.
I live in Phoenix

A Case That Suits Me
My suitcase: a pink suitcase with light pink polka dots. I want to make sure all the contains stay in the suitcase, will not be ruined and will stay in place.
Items Inside the Suitcase:
Book-to fill my curiosity and to increase my vocabulary.
Camera- to take multiple pictures of a great vacation, trip, anything exciting that can keep me satisfied. Yet to remember all those wonderful times..
Duct Tape-someone who holds things together, but sometimes tears.Slide6
Three Doors
An opportunity- this door is a hardwood brown sort of color with a very nice golden knob. Behind this door an opportunity to go to an university with great culinary arts class and a great marine biology class as well.
A challenge- this door is open all you can see inside is pitch black. Behind that door lies a challenge to skydive. This will see if I have courage to do anything I want with no fear.
A reward- this door is golden and not locked. Behind this door is 1,000,000,000 dollars and a 2013 Escalate from Cadillac. Slide7
Rules to Live By
As I continue my life, I am going to live by three rules. These three rules will be my focus for making me a better person.
One of the rules that would help me become a great person would be to not lie because of
course
lying is bad and you should always be honest no matter what.
Another rule that would help me as well would be
to treat others like you want to be treated. This a very important rule because nobody wants to be treated bad on the contrary you want to be treated in a good way, and to be treated nicely you have to do treat them nicely as well.
The last rule would
be very respectful no matter what. Being respectful is a very good trait that every human living I this world should have, we might not use that trait constantly. But I will because it would be a rule to live by.
Those three rules that I chose would hopefully make me a great person. Slide8

Breaking the Routine
A typical routine of mine consists of waking up, snoozing, getting up, getting ready(brushing hair, teeth, changing clothing, etc.), eating breakfast, heading to school, working, get home, procrastinate, do homework, procrastinate again, take a shower, go to bed.
A few changes I’d make: stop procrastinating, go to bed earlier, and wake up earlier.
A few habits of mine: biting my nails, touching my hair consistently, messing up my bedroom.
A few changes I’d make: stop making messes in bedroom, hair gets greasy once touching it, stop! And somehow find a way to stop biting your nails. Slide20
