Tradition

Fourth Of July Every year since I was 3 years old, my family and I always go to the Balloon Fiesta here in Albuquerque. Every year when it comes around the Fourth Of July, we always make plans to go to the Balloon Fiesta. We love to watch artists come to perform. Each  year is a country singer who comes. My family and I love country, it's a genre I grew up with. We still go the the Balloon Fiesta even after my mother passed. That was our thing to do together as a family. We always got stuff to play with and all of us always wore matching Fourth Of July shirts. It was the best part of my childhood, I always looked forward to Fourth Of July. When it's that time of the year, we get there early and always sit in the same place every year with our blankets and chairs. Then go get corn on the cob, snow cones, turkey leg, and kettle corn. Those were our go to food to snack on while watching the concerts and waiting for the fireworks to come on. This is my tradition.  ...

Mother Passing

My mother's name is Stefanie Michelle BlueEyes. Born in Farmington NM on November 23rd, 1982. She lived a great life, full of plenty of adventures. She lived a beautiful life and finished school at Cibola High School. Later on in her life on March 28, 2003, she had the birth of her first daughter myself, Haiden Gould. Sooner on she had the birth of my younger sister Addison Coriz on October 19, the year of 2008. She always did her best to support us and be the best mother she could be. She struggled here and there but she always found her ways. She was the most generous person you could ever meet. You could hear it in the sound of her voice, the way she presented herself. The kindest-hearted person I ever knew, I look after my mother. Always accepted everyone and their well being as a person. She was always so understanding and knew her way with words. She always encouraged me to do my best, when I had doubt in myself. Later on in the year 2014. She got sick. A...

I don't like my bff's bf/gf Dear Friend Troubles, I understand the situation you are in. I have met some of my friends bfs/gfs and I didn't like who they were with. By the way they act, behavior, etc. I felt like they could've done better or that other person doesn't have the same interest. Or either they are a bad influence on your friend. But I may have a few suggestions that may help you! 1. Speak up I have seen my friend's boyfriend or girlfriends treat them badly or not take them seriously. You should sit down with them and talk about how they are suppose to be treated. Ask him/her how they feel when he/she treats them that way. Talk to him/her about how you feel about that relationship, or you could try to make their relationship better. Look for an open door to discuss the dating relationship and what you see may be helpful. 2. Realization Make your friend realize the way they are being treated. Tell them that it's not ok for their...
