If I Were...

Last night, I was thinking about my life. I think that is normal, and sometimes a little boring. But, my dream since I was on primary is to be a singer! I love singing, I’ve been singing almost during my nineteen years of life. One of the persons that is my inspiration for sing is my favorite singer, Taylor Swift, so…If I Were a Singer like her?

The singers, like the actors, writers and many people that are under the public opinion, are too normal persons. They go to the supermarket, to the cinema, do the dishes and others activities that for us are common, but for they are like a moment to take a breath. So, if I were a singer, I would try to keep my life in the right way. I don’t like the famous people who have forgotten their beginnings. Taylor still being the same girl of Nashville: Normal, good friend, simple.

A normal celebrity could travel around the world many times, because they have the money to do it. Also, they could spend their millions of dollars in jewelry, cars, houses, pieces of art or anything that they want, but a few famous prefer spend their time in charity. If I were a famous person, I would create a foundation where adolescents who had experienced bullying, could find help. As many singers, Taylor was a victim of the bullying and in her songs, she reflected all her feelings and all her pain. In my case, I was a victim of bullying too. The music is the best therapy that I could find; write poems, songs are like a catharsis and it’s an habit that I keep until today.

However, I think that the fun part of being singer, and particularly in the case of Taylor, is write songs about important people of our live. I wrote a song about the first guy who broke my heart when I was sixteen, the same case than Tay. She wrote a song about her ex-boyfriend, Joe Jonas, called “Forever and Always” and when I listened it for the first time, I thought that It was one of my dreams listen in the radio the song that I wrote in the past. If I were like her, I would write a special song for the most important people in my life. Some of those songs would be written for “ a select group of people” who make me feel bad in the past. I’m not thinking in write all my songs about revenge or pain, things like that. Write a song to my mother, my father and my best friends could be a great experience.

If I were a teen singer, I would be close with my fans. The connection of the artist with the fans is incredible. If I were she, I would so close than her with her fans. She has a way to communicate with her fans that not all the famous have. Write this blog about her of “If I Were Her” was very fun. I think if all the celebrities were like her, they would be more loved by their fans. The humility and just be simple are the keys!

A weird summer situation.

When I was a little girl, I used to be a typical child of my age. I enjoyed watching Disney movies, playing with my neighbors in the street, etc. I never believed in the Supernatural things, just in Papa Noel and the Easter Bunny, but in ghosts, vampires, werewolves and things like that, never.

But then, when I grew up, I “opened my eyes” and I became to believe in ghost, because I believe in ghost until today. One day, when I was in a trip with my classmates in Villarrica, we wanted to play something fun and different. One of my friends suggested “The Ouija” and all of us said “Yes! It’s just a game”. For me, was a common and inoffensive game, because I never believed in "games" with "supernatural powers" . My friend found a piece of wood and then she drew all the numbers and letters that those board has. We were five friends in the cabin and the clock said that it was after two o’clock. I was nervous, I didn’t know the reason, it could be that I was tired, or just needed a cigar. Katherine, my friend, began with the game, she called any spirit in the cabin, laughing. All though that It was just an innocent game, but a weird sound scared us. We let it go and keep playing, but an annoying sound did that we screamed at the same time. Definitely, that’s was not normal, something weird was behind this game. My friends stopped with the game and just came back to their cabins. I was sleeping in the same room with Katherine and María Jesus. We wanted to sleep because the last day had been exhausting, but when we turn off the lamp, something strange happened. The lamp began blink, but we just turned it off! I though a lot of things, my classmates was playing with us, doing an horrible and not fun joke, or the ghost really exist and we have a spirit in the house, because we heard a child crying. We went to see what happened,and there was absolutely nobody. If it was another joke of our friends, we had noticed more than a laugh, but nothing. When all the articles that I read on internet about ghost, I was beginning to believe that ghost really existed. That night nothing was happen and after a long conversation, we fell asleep. The next day when we were having breakfast, I told my friends about all the things that I though while trying to fall asleep. They think the same than me, until today.

For us, it was one of the strangest situations that we have lived. THIS STORY IS REAL, but I wrote just the central idea. All the details (a lot of details) only a few people know. Since that day, I have respect with games like the Ouija. I know that spirits are around us. As a person, I made a promise: Never again play such games. It’s sound like a book or something supernatural, but at least, I know two things: The first is that this really happened and is not a figment of my imagination. The second, the ghosts REALLY exist.

Cheating

In this opportunity, I’m going to write about an interesting theme, CHEATING.
But, what is cheating? Well, is just a lie, but not a lie whit a good purpose, is with an unknown purpose or with a bad intention. Things like play in a casino and save an additional die is an act of cheating (but is more common in the movies that in real life)
But, I want to write my blog with a special case, the cheating in the studies. Many times, when we are busy, with a lot of things to study, or just stressed and we remember that we have a pending homework, the only way for do that homework, is copy and past something that we saw in Google, and our assignment for an act of magic is almost ready. In the high school is very common. I think that ALL OF US did it cheating, but at the university is not allowed.
Sometimes we don’t dimension the damage that we do to “steal” a homework, or just a paragraph for a book. Technically, the cheating is a crime, and the people who steal something (in this case, a book or a phrase that other person wrote in the past and take ownership of it) should be punished, but in many case, it doesn’t pass over.
When I was on high school, many times I take over something of Google, but it was just on little assignment, or those who gave us an overnight. When I had to do a job for Biology or Spanish, and they gave us the time necessary, I always tried to do my work by myself, with my own language and my own knowledge. It doesn’t have sense just copy and past A BLOG like this. Our blogs must be like a confessionary, where we have the possibility of express our opinion about a theme. If we take over a text from another person and just past the lines in our blog, we are thinking like the other, like the author of the text…and without realizing, losing our identity! By the same, I prefer to write bad, whit a lot of spelling mistakes, but write by myself! If I have an error, my teachers can help me. I like that they know that I’m not a student who missing her time watching T.V or hanging out with friends. My homework is first, the social life is secondary.
I enjoyed writing this blog. This theme is interesting and sometimes the students like me, do not take the necessary importance. The cheating is something common in our century and pretty hard to take out, but If the student do their homework with time, with effort…the cheating will be thing of the past.
