Halloween

"You're doing it wrong" she said for about the tenth time in five minutes. "Its my pumpkin, and it will look the way I want it to" I turned my head and looked away lifting my chin to show how much her opinion mattered to me. " But you're doing it wrong! I don't want your ugly pumpkin next to mine." 

I look back at her sad attempt to make a Hello Kitty look alike out of the orange vegetable. Ha, and she was calling mine ugly, her's looked like Hello Kitty was in a car accident. " oh yeah? Hello Kitty looks like she could use a touch up" That set her off, her mouth opened in a gasp that never came, she looked offended, with a small pout on her face. Little sisters are too easy. 

" well!....well yours is still ugly!" the chair made loud sound being pushed back, getting off her chair she ran out. Most likely to tell on me. It's fine though I don't care. As I sat there all alone I got to work on my pumpkin. I had wanted it to look like Jack skellington, but after the struggle to get the top off I was too lazy to do anything fancy.

 The kitchen was quiet. All you could hear was the sound of my cutting, and the cold autumn wind outside. ".....do you really think I need a touch up?..." a small thin voice came from the my left side. I turned to look only to see my sisters empty seat. And her pumpkin, who's crooked eyes stared blackly at the wall.

Perseverance

Growing up, I've loved to draw and create. So naturally I've wanted a career where I can make something beautiful. I love to draw and color. To make my own word from what I desire. I main wish was and continues to be, to become an Illustrator. And i have a plain to get there, but i also have a plain B. My parents have always be supportive of my wishes, and encourage me to follow my dreams. But they also remind me about the importance of a back up.

Aside from drawing, I alway liked helping others. So becoming a nurse seems perfect for me. My goal is to get a BSN and work as a nurse in a hospital.

Lately I have been looking at all of my options, and even though I still want to be an Illustrator. So much more has captured my attention. I like the idea of being a speech therapist to help others communicate.I love animals, and I want to be able to help them in whatever way I can. I've always loved baking, and decorating cakes. There is just so much that I want to do and I fear I won't pick that right one. But Im still young, and I have the rest of my life to truly decide who I want to be.

My Favorite Books

My favorite Book to this day. A trilogy about an orphan boy who becomes a legend. This book is a Fantasy, my favorite genres to read. A Speculative fiction, this book is full of action and suspense. I loved every minute of it, I'd stay up late in bed with the only light coming from my phone, just so I wouldn't miss a thing. Definitely the best science fiction book I've every read, and would definitely recommend to anyone who loves Science Fiction.

The best book I read in middle school, and a conversation starter. There is no better book the fallows the lives of a pack of wolfs trying to same them selfs from Man, and fate. The sight was a great book, all 400 pages were full of mystery, and adventure. Having to carry this in my arms while walking to class people were mesmerized by the eyes of the wolf. I would definitely recommend it to anyone how loves a Speculative Fiction

This light hearted book about a young girl who loses her older sister must make a choice about who she  wants in her life. One of the only romance books I actually liked, this book was great in every way. I'd recommend this book to someone looking for a light hearted romance.


Barnes & Noble

Favorite Film

Maybe the only book where the movie was better, in my opinion was Coraline. This was one of my favorite movies, I loved every second of it. Most of my friends would complain about how creepy it was, yet all I did was laugh and say I wish I was watching it right now! I always loved her hair color in the movie, and its the reason I've always wanted to to have Blue hair was well.

The book was another story, although I liked it, the only reason I read I was because I loved the movie so much. Any book lover would tell you that the book will always be superior, the way I see it Coraline is the exception.

Coraline follows the adventures of a young girl, how feels like no one understands her. When she movies to a new home way from her old friends, she feels lonely. When she finds a door that leads to a a world identical to here own yet so much better. But she soon learns its not all is cracked up to be.

Being Charitable

Make a wish grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life threatening disease in the United States, on average every 38 minutes.

The Make-A-Wish foundation has been helping children by granting their wish for years. The first child they helped was a young named Chris. A seven year old boy who was diagnosed with leukemia. More than anything else he wanted to be police officer. Caring people in his community granted his wish.

I was once a member of Make-A-Wish at my old high school. I loved doing charity work because I knew I was making a difference. Make-A-Wish holds a lot of symbolic meaning to me. During the meetings every one would try their very hardest to make ends meet and to grant a wish, for a child in need.

Bucket List

1. Travel- I want to see the world for what it is, not a tourist trap or cruise. I want to really experience it for myself.

2. Get a Tattoo- The rebel in me always wanted one. I hope to get at least one as a gift to myself.

3. Go to the airport and take the next random flight somewhere- There's always been a part of me that loves the sence of adventure.

4. Have a big Garden- When I was younger my family lived in a big house with a large front and back yard. My Mother planted the most beautiful flowers in the front yard, and the best tasting fruit and vegetables in the back yard. I want to recreate it, but in my way.

5. Learn to play an instrument- I don't care which, but I hope to at least be able to play something.

My Top Three Video Games

1. Killer Instinct

My older brother had a lot of fighting and first person shooter games on his nintendo 64, he would't let me play with him because thats what older brothers do. But I'd watched him play many times with his friends and my cousins. Eventually my parents made him let my play with him. And the game that I loved the most was Killer Instinct, and I wan't half bad. My brother even started to let me play with him.

2. Injustice Gods Among Us

My best guy friend Tony has the PS4, and with it his favorite game Injustice. Last summer he invited my friend Janet, Danny, and I to his house to play it. We stayed at his house for hours and came back almost every week. It was just us hanging out in his room with the food we'd order and AC on 24/7. This summer was one of my favorites, because I spent it indoors with my best friends playing video games.

3. Pokemon

My brother had Pokemon FireRed on his gameboy, he'd let me use it because he knew I didn't know how to save the game I started. But I didn't care, I loved it. Every time I started the game over I'd always pick squirtle because I thought he looked the cutest. Today I have a lot more Pokemon games on my 3DS and I actually know what to do now. I've become somewhat of a Pokemon geek but Im ok with that.

My Favorite Hobby

Drawing is my life. I've never found anything that i enjoy more or can really say I'm good at. though it started as something I'd do when I'm bored (mostly in class), it became somewhat like my way away from my normal life and work. I had my own little universe to draw however i wanted. I always preferred to use drawing pencils, because I feel like I have more control over what I was doing. 

One of my favorite things to draw was anime, manga, and pop art or vintage comics. I loved how they all looked so I would study the artist's work, and yes; that meant watching anime and reading manga and comics all day. 

Although pencil is my preferred choice i still love painting. I like using water color the most because of the way the colors blend in together. Art is a form of expression. I love to express myself through art, since I've never been much of a talker.

About Me

My name is Viviana Rodriguez Campos, I am 17 years old, and I’m living with my mother and older brother. I grew up in Pomona and have spent most of my life living there. In the middle of my 9th grade year, my mother and I moved to costa mesa. My brother having already moved here a year before us after he graduated, we moved in together shortly after. I have two cats both female. My father gave me the first cat(Fiona) after my dog Lucky died of old age. My second cat(Bunny) came to us on her own. We found her as a kitten outside our door one night so we took her in.

   

 My only goal in life has been and continues to be to live my life happily and independently.Some of my pastimes, are to read, draw and to sleep. I enjoy drawing the most and hope to make a career as an illustrator. I also enjoy helping others and working in the medical field is something I would like to do as well.
