About Me

I grew up in La Puente, CA. I have two older brothers

and one older sister. I grew up mostly happy except

my brothers tormented me by making me play sports

a lot. My sister and I sometimes got along, and

sometimes we didn’t like each other.

We didn’t have much money when I was young.

My father worked and went to college at the same

time. When I was in 5th grade, my father graduated

college and became a lawyer. We had more money after that.

In La Puente, the population is mostly

Hispanic. There were only three white families

in my neighborhood. All of my friends were

Mexican or Black. There were a lot of gangs in

La Puente and walking to school and home from

school was sometimes dangerous. The “chola”

girls sometimes threatened to beat me up.

ME

ME

Examples of Homework

HOMEWORK 193

They called me “white girl”. My whole childhood I was “white girl.”

Even though I felt out of place, I liked that the people in my schools

were from many different cultures. I also liked that most people were kind

to each other and just seemed to want to work and provide for their

families.

When I was ready for college, I wanted to move away from the LA

area and all the freeways. I chose Cal State University Stanislaus. It’s in

central California and doesn’t have a lot of traffic. It was also conservative.

I didn’t like that.

I attended CSUS for four years and then one month after I

graduated with a BA degree, I got married. I was twenty two. We moved to

Sonoma County, CA which is up north of San Francisco. I worked as a

secretary. I always edited everyone’s writing. Sonoma County has beautiful

vineyards, nice weather and not a lot of traffic. However, the people there

were mostly white and sometimes racist. I didn’t like that.

After a few years, we moved to the LA area. I was very sad at first.

But I was also happy to be back near my family. I decided to go back to

school and become an English teacher. I wanted to help people express

themselves. I learned how to teach writing and grammar. Six months after I

finished college, on July 19, 2001, I had a baby girl.

Becoming a mother was exciting

but it was also very scary. I didn’t think

I was a good mother and I was always

afraid of making mistakes. My daughter

cried a lot and didn’t sleep very much. My

husband and I were tired all the time,

and we decided that my daughter would be an only child.

In 2002, I got a job at Chaffey College teaching ESL. I fell in love

with this profession. I was able to meet people from many places and help

them communicate through pronunciation and writing. It was a dream job!

In 2005, my husband and I had been married for eleven years and my

daughter was four years old. My husband and I had not been happily married

for a long time though. We decided to separate. I rented an apartment in

San Dimas and we began splitting custody of our daughter 50/50. She would

stay with me half the time and with him half the time. My husband and I

decided together that a divorce would be best for us.

HOMEWORK 195

ME

My Mother

My Daughter

My daughter, Sage, and I were very happy living in San Dimas. In the

fall of 2007, I began hiking and dancing with a new friend, Ken. We hiked

and danced for six months and then he finally asked me on a real date. We

started dating on April 19th, 2008. That summer, I bought my own town

house. It has two bedrooms and 1200 square feet. On August 1st, 2008, my

daughter and I moved in.

Now, I take my daughter to soccer games and socialize with my ex-

husband and his new girlfriend, Sarah, while I am there. They are both really

nice people. I spend every other weekend with my

daughter and we go for walks and play games. Then on

the weekends when she is not with me, I

spend time with my boyfriend and doing

work for school.

I have a very blessed life and

a lot of gifts. I am grateful for my

supportive family, my wonderful

friends and my amazing students. I

come to work everyday, grateful to

be a part of my students’ lives. I go

HOMEWORK 196

home every night, thankful that my daughter is healthy and happy.

I am also grateful to have found love when I thought that it was

not going to be in my life again.

My Country – Venezuela

By Nohely Gonzalez

Venezuela’s history records that Christopher Columbus was the first European to come to Venezuela in 1498 during his third voyage. More explorers followed him. The country got its name from one of them, Alonso de Ojeda. The Spanish established their first settlement, Nueva Cadiz, a year later. This was later destroyed in tsunami. Colonization in Venezuela was not much strong in the first half. Spain was indifferent to it. But the whole scenario changed when massive oil reserve was discovered. It has been quite a outpost on the edge of Spanish empire. But the man who later turned the empire on his head on his head was born here. He was Simon Bolivar. With the help of British mercenaries he did the task of liberating Colombia in 1819, Venezuela in 1821 and Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia in 1825.

Geographically, most observers describe Venezuela in terms of four fairly well-defined regions:

The Maracaibo lowlands form a large spoon-shaped oval bounded by mountains on three sides and open to the Caribbean on the north. The area is remarkably flat with only a gentle slope toward the center and away from the mountains that border the region. Lago de Maracaibo occupies much of the lower-lying territory.

Examples of Homework

HOMEWORK 198

The mountains bordering the Caribbean Sea are actually the northeastern most extension of the Andes chain. Broken by several gaps, these high mountains have peaks over 4,500 meters; the fertile valleys between the ranges

contain most of

Venezuela's population,

industry, and agriculture.

The great expanse of lowlands known as the Orinoco plains extends westward from the Caribbean coast to the Colombian border between the northern mountains and the Río Orinoco. This

region is commonly known as the llanos (plains), although it also contains large stretches of swampland in the Orinoco Delta and near the Colombian border.

HOMEWORK 199

The most conspicuous topographical feature of the region is the Gran

Sabana, a large, deeply eroded high plateau that rises from surrounding

areas in abrupt cliffs up to 800 meters high. Above the rolling surface of the

Gran Sabana massive, flat-topped bluffs emerge; many of these bluffs

(referred to as tepuis by the Venezuelans) reach considerable altitudes. The

most famous tepui contains Angel Falls, the world's highest waterfall.
