Story

Jerry was driving home late one night when he saw a young lady waiting by a bus stop. He stopped his car and told her that he didn't think the buses were running so late at night and offered her a ride. The fall night air was getting chilly, so he took off his jacket and gave it to her. Jerry found out that the girl's name was Mary and she was on her way home. After an hours drive, they arrived at her home and he dropped her off at by the front door. Jerry said goodnight and went home himself. The next day he remembered Mary still had his jacket. He drove to her house and knocked at her door, and old woman answered. Jerry told her about the ride he had given her daughter Mary, and had come back to get the jacket he had lent her. The old woman seemed very confused. Jerry noticed a picture of Mary on the fireplace mantel. He pointed to it and told the old woman that was the girl he had given a ride to. With her voice shaking, the old woman told Jerry that his daughter had been dead for many years and had been buried at a cemetery an hours drive from there. Jerry drove to the cemetery.... He found his jacket, neatly folded on top of a grave...the name on the gravestone was Mary!

Birthdays

My birthdays are pretty normal honestly they aren't very exciting. We have a cook out, make or sometimes buy a cake. In my culture though when a girl turns 15 they get to have a quinceaƱera. It's a big party with music and food and lots of friends get to come kind of like a sweet sixteen for american girls. It's the announcement of a girl becoming a woman in my culture but you don't always have to have one especially since they are so costly. Like me I didn't have one I wanted one but we couldn't affored it so we just had a cook out and my mom made me a cake and my mom's friend got a cake made for me with a guitar on it. Mostly because i love guitars even though i'm not really good at playing them. I got to invite friends over but since my birthday is in the summer i don't really invite many becasue they are all on vacation. I remember that Kaylie was there and it was so much fun she felt weird because everyone there spoke spanish and my mom would try talking to her and she wouldn't understand but my mom did it just to tease her and then she started speaking to K in english even though it isn't very good but it was enough to where K could understand. Anyways last year was my 16th birthday and we had a pool party for me and to that one there was more people and I got thrown in the pool by Lisa but it was so much fun. So yea those two birthdays were like the only big ones I've had but I've loved all my birthdays even though they aren't big. After all there's nothing like family time. :)
