Many times‚ my family can be hard to get along with‚ constantly teasing and humiliating not just me‚ but each other. We are much like any other family... except we’re Mexican. We have uncles‚ cousins‚ relatives we don’t even know of; we call each other weird names like Pollo‚ Prieto‚ and Gordo; but mainly‚ we always find a reason to get drunk. Whether it be for a baptism‚ a wedding‚ a child’s birthday‚ parties don’t end until three in the morning. When my family gets together‚ either it ends either

What is a Hurricane? A hurricane is an intense‚ rotating oceanic weather system that possesses maximum sustained winds exceeding 119 km/hr (74 mph). It forms and intensifies over tropical oceanic regions. Hurricanes are generally smaller than storms in mid-latitudes‚ typically about 500 km (311 miles) in diameter.

decided to go out for a walk. I loved how the warm breeze felt against my face.

The river curled in all directions and the calm‚ smooth surface looked trusting‚ and inviting. I stepped
