The day that I did not give up was when my mother died. It started like this. I woke up and went shopping with my father and sister. When we came back I asked my dad if we could go see mom. My father said "Noelia I got something to tell you. Your mother passed away." I stood up and went to my sister's room and locked the door. Then in a little while I came out and said ''I want to see her '' He said tomorrow in the funeral home. I started to cry and hit my sister in the face. I said "You got a mother and I don't."

The day of the funeral I cried so much that my eyes were swollen. I decided that I would keep on living and enjoy my life. I would always remember my mother.

I had a B.B.Q in my house with my Uncles, Aunts, cousins, and my family. Also my annoying little sister was there. I saw my cousins splashing in the water and pouring water at me. Me and one of my cousins saw a very interesting, and very disgusting insect.

Many people were there. Everyone was talking and laughing. Their was one thing that I liked. It was the music. I smelled some very good things. Steak with some salad and rice. I ate all of that too!

My parents made me touch lots of cans and bottles. Me and my sister and cousins rolled all over the grass. All of us felt the warm water. Everyone loved the B.B.Q.
