#0 My intorduction

 Hello everyone!! my name is Dania Duran and I am 16 years old, and I am the youngest of my family. I was born in Phoenix AZ but I grew up in Mexico, I lived in two different states, Sinaloa and Nayarit. My parents decided to move there and take me when I was 2 years old because my grandmother was very old and she needed company. Living in Mexico was very fun, especially elementary school. I remember everyday after school I would always hang out with my friends, we would go play soccer or other games. When I was 12 years old my parents decided that it was best for me to come back to Phoenix AZ so I could have more school opportunities. After 10 years of living in Mexico, I came back. I did not know how to speak English, I remember I was scared to go to school. My family from here never stopped supporting me, they helped me learn how to speak, write, and read English. Now that I have learned, I am very proud of myself!!

One of the best decisions I made, was moving to Phoenix. I love my family here! they are always so supportive towards me. I also love my school! I love to be involve. At school I play three different sports, softball, soccer, and badminton. I am not the best at playing them but I love how fun they are. One of my favorite hobbies is to roller skate, is so fun and relaxing. 


This is my softball team from last year, I love this girls!



An interesting fact about me is that I love to go to concerts, I am my sister's concert partner. I have been to seventeen concerts with her. My favorite concert that I have been to is Rauw Alejandro's, it was super fun! here is a link to a video I took the day of the concert https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8YFh3Bd/.  

If you were to ask me what makes me unique, I would say that my family makes me unique because without them, I would not be here. I am beyond grateful to have the family that I have.

My goal in life is to be successful. I want to finish high school and go to college or university and study a career that I am passionate about. Another goal that I have is to be able to help my family how they have helped me, I want to be financially stable. My goal right now is to be able to finish my ACE program classes and pass them all with good grades. I am grateful to have this opportunity and get a head start on my studies. I know one day I will be able to accomplish all of this!

 I look forward to getting to know each and everyone of you!

    Hey Dania, I like how even if you say you're not the best at the sports you still enjoy playing them. That is really cool and I'm sure that you are great at these sports considering you are in multiple of them.

#3 You Belong With Me

Once again, hello everyone! I am so happy to write to all of you again. This song that I am going to be analyzing is one of my favorite songs from Taylor swift. I feel like this song gives everyone a very good message, it also makes some of the audience feel connected to this song.  The tone of this song is hopeful and romantic. The speaker of this song is Taylor swift, She wrote this song with the purpose of talking about a love story. In this love story, the boy does not get much attention from his girlfriend, as it were, the girl is just using him to make herself more popular. This boy is blindly in love with this girl, he does not realize that the right girl is in front of him and she is genuinely in love with him. In this song, Taylor talks about how she is the one that knows how he is feeling, what he likes, and she knows his whole story. She wants him to know that she is the right girl for him. The boy is a football player, the girlfriend is a cheerleader, and Taylor is...

Hellooo everyone!! Welcome back once again, I am so happy to have you all back. Today I will be talking about THE BEST OF THE BEST the dodgers! Baseball is a big deal in America, and it's often all about serious stuff like keeping score and stats. But guess what? The Los Angeles Dodgers, the baseball team, know how to have a good laugh too. They like to keep things fun, and we're going to talk about what makes them so special in a funny way. First, let's talk about "Dodger Dogs."  These are like super-long hot dogs you can get at Dodger Stadium. They're so big that it's almost like the chefs there said, "Let's make hot dogs longer than yardsticks!" They taste great and are kind of funny because they're so big. When you go to Dodger Stadium, it's not just a baseball game; it's like a big show with lots of entertainment. They have funny things like the "Kiss Cam" where they show people on the big screen and make them kiss,...
