Hero as Lover

Life is filled with good times and bad times. During the bad times I find myself looking on the bright side. I'm an optimist. I can't stand negativity. This heroic archetype pertains to me because I'm a lover. I don't enjoy any type of anger. Although times get tough and anger starts to build, I turn to my guitar for inspiration. Music sets me free from all the hectic events in life. My family and friends can also be an escape for me. Music drives me to pursue many different things. It is my passion.

Journey to the Promised Land

I have extremely big dreams i would like to accomplish. This quest involves what I want to become when I grow up. I dream of moving to Los Angeles, California and becoming an Editor for Seventeen Magazine. Yes, I am aware that it is a very big dream, but I don't allow that fact to bring me down. It will take a lot of hard work through my school work. Laziness in school work has become a bit of an obstacle for me to overcome. In order to accomplish this dream I plan on working extremely hard in high school to potentially get a scholarship to the University of Southern California and from there I will try my hardest to become an Editor at Seventeen Magazine.

My Mentor

My mentor would without a doubt have to be my dad. My dad has helped me overcome so many things in my life. From the small things such as tying my shoe, to the large things such as facing the loss of my mother. My dad has also taught me the importance of life and how to act appropriately. Although I usually don't act how I should act towards him, he knows I love him and I know he loves me. He has taught me so many important lessons in life that have helped me so much to overcome obstacles. Words cannot describe how important he is to me. Father or mentor, he's just amazing.

Threshold Guardians

I happen to have two threshold guardians in my life. These would be my brother, Chris and my sister, Emily. My siblings have become such a big part of my life in the past years and I am so thankful for them. When we were younger all we did was fight and argue, but ever since my mom passed away we grew closer as siblings. It used to feel like there was some sort of barrier keeping us from getting close to each other. That barrier is no longer there and we all have a close bond with one another. We still bicker a lot , but that's what most siblings do. They can seem like villains to me when we aren't getting along, but they could never be a villain forever. They have helped me to grow up and mature. I also learned from the mistakes they made. Without them, I don't know what I would do.

Shadow

My shadow is a thing, not a specific person. This thing gets in the way of me being able to complete daily tasks at home or at school. Although I don't like this thing, I allow it to get in the way all the time. This "thing" is procrastination. I procrastinate almost on a daily basis. It usually doesn't effect me in a big way, unless it gets in the way of other things. When I procrastinate it is usually in school work. I will put off doing a math project until the very last day. Instead of having fun that day being worry-free, I have to spend my time working non-stop, which is never fun. Procrastination is a very common problem for numerous people. It keeps me from doing the best of my ability on school work. It also tends to get in the way of my goals for the future. In order to defeat this shadow, I'm going to have to eliminate procrastination in my life. Rest in peace procrastination!

My Trickster

My trickster can be described as a very unique person. She is loud, outspoken, crazy, and definitely random. My life is never dull with her around. Life is full of rough times that can be very difficult to deal with alone. These difficulties can bring times of sadness into your life, which is never fun. A trickster can tend to relieve these hard times. I know that with this girl around I can never feel sad or depressed. If I'm ever sad around her, it lasts for about two seconds. She has a talent of lifting people's spirits, no matter how down in the dumps they are. When I think back on all the hard times I've gone through, I find that she is the one who was there for me through it all. We aren't exactly described as the "perfect bestfriends" but we manage. I find her and myself arguing, bickering, and fighting most of the time, but we always get over it within a few minutes. Without her, my life would seem pretty boring. Calli Green, my best friend, will forever remain my trickster.

Journey of a hero

I'm only a teenager, therefore my journey has just begun. Although I'm very young, I've gone through many changes in my life. I've just recently started adjusting to new people living in my house. This all began when my dad remarried to a woman named Melissa. Two years ago they got married and along came Melissa and her three children. My siblings and I have had to adjust to new people living in our house. It's very challenging to have new people come not only into your life, but into your home. I was a bit hostile at first, but things are slowly getting better.

Representation of Cuba

My mother and grandparents came from Cuba, which makes me half Cuban. I take pride in my Cuban culture and I believe it makes me very unique. I learn a lot from my grandma, who I call Aba. She lives in Miami and we keep in touch a lot through the phone. Anytime we talk she gives me a Spanish lesson. I use my culture as a way to make me want to learn more Spanish in school. I'm very glad i have Cuban in my culture and I'm proud.

Rite of Passage

My rite of passage has made a huge impact on my life as a whole. It has transformed my life completely and made me into a better person. This rite of passage was when I accepted the savior, Jesus Christ into my heart. It was at church camp in 2004 when I decided to make this decision. I became so close to the lord, and to this day I am thankful for it. I know it was the best decision I made in my life and I'm so glad I did it.

My Band of Companions

These few people are what keep me going, They are my best friends. They are there for me through thick and thin. I know I can count on them for anything. Through all the hard times in my life I turn to these few people for support. They aren't perfect, but they sure are amazing friends. I am truly blessed to have these special people in my life. I thank God so much for putting these people into my life.

Wounded Heart

In 2004, when I was only ten years old, my mom was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. Never in my life did I expect this to happen to my mom. The fight went on for a few months until God decided to put her into a better place, Heaven. It was the hardest time of my life. Tears came for months and rarely ever stopped. I felt like my life was falling apart. To this day I still find myself crying. I miss her so much, but I know in my heart God took her away for a reason. I have no clue what that reason is but I trust in God that he did what was best.
