weeks weeks

ok wow so the last couple weeks have been crazy!!!the last weekend a young girl at the age of 13 from 7 grado was killed.. it was an accident but it was very tragic.. she was in her aunts and uncles house, her aunt came home and opened the door to pull in the car that is when 3 robbers entered in as well...i am not sure it they went in the house i was very confused, but somehow one of the robbers had wendy(the little girl from my school) around her neck up against the robber.. the guard of the house ended up shooting off his gun trying to shoot the robber and he ended up shooting wendy in her head!! it is such a horrible story, and it just show how short life can be and that no one is promised the next minute!!! This tragedy was very hard on the kids in 7,8,9 grados... are school prayed a lot for the family, the little brother of the girl is also in our school....

good news, our school has olympics!!! it is a pretty big deal, i didn´t really know that but know i do!!! they actually pic captains from 3cero curso(seniors) to be captians and co-captains...there is the white team and green team!!! my sister is the CAPTAIN of the white team...there is two captains a boy and a girl, and the co-captains a boy and a girl for both teams... but it is a really big deal these olympics and it is even a bigger deal to be choosen as captain... i am blanco, because my sister is, and obviously she is the captain.. all family members are on the same team... i guess it gets SUPER COMPETATIVE!!! at one part of the olympics we have class only until 9 and then the rest of the day is sports!!! isn´t that just really cool!!! but i don´t know i will have to let you know more about that when we actually start!!! jajaja----

my birthday party is this friday thats pretty cool!!!! I am excited!!!! i have about 50 people or something on my list for my party... not everyone will come i don´t think.. but lots of people want to come... so i am excited for my party!!! and my birthday!!!!
