I always wondered about the seven wonders of the world. I knew about the others, but never heard of Chichen Itza. Chichen Itza was one of the greatest Mayan centers of the Peninsula. It has many monuments, including the Kukulkan Pyramid (also known as El Castillo) which was elected as one of the new seven wonders of the world on July 7,2007. Chichen Itza means “at the well of Itsa.” Most sources agree that the first word, Chichen, means seven, but there is considerable debate as to the correct translation of Itza. Chichen Itza was constructed around AD 600. It is located in the Yucatan state in Mexico. It is currently the second most visited archeological site of Mexico.

If hope was a color,
It would be blue
As bright as a bonnet.
If hope was a taste
It would be just like cake.
If hope was a feeling
It would be as painful as an ache.
If hope was a smell
It would be sweet as a rose.
If hope was a sound,
It would be loud as a crow.

I would like to thank you

for everything you’ve done for me.

You made me a better person

and as happy as can be.

You are my inspiration

which has made me,

better in many things

including Christianity.

Memories swell over me

when I think about your death.

Sometimes I still cry

and it just takes my breath.

I keep a picture of you by my bed

and when I see it I usually say,

I’ll see you again soon,

but for now my life is in the way.

Hopefully, I’ll go up

which is the right way.

For I will pray for you,

Day by Day.

  During Spring Break, I played softball. It was my first tournament in a long time. We didn’t do so well, but it was our first tournament. I did okay. It was fun though. I also went to Six Flags. It was fun too. I also slept till twelve most of the week. Spring Break seemed to go by really fast.

The Holocaust makes me sad every time I hear it. There was millions of Jews that were killed. I learned that over a million and a half of the Jews that were killed were children. I’ve seen pictures and videos of the Holocaust. It makes me emotional sometimes. I also learned that some women would lie about their age so they can work with the adult women.

I don’t have many plans for spring break. I plan on sleeping in late all week. I might be going to Six Flags with my church and I  might  have a softball tournament that week too, but I will probably be lazy on spring break.
