I Am From Poem

I am from a family of three
Half Bolivian and half Mexican
I am from two different personalities
Funny and nice/ outgoing and loveable
I am from shopping, theaters, beaches,
Parties and friends
I am who I am
Don’t judge me
I am not wacky
But they call me blackie
I am from phones, computers, and television
I am from talkative, caring and indifferent
I am a loud mouth
From suns, flowers, and clouds in a bright sunny day
I am full of smiles and energy
I am short with a big personality
I am the future with an unforgettable past
I am the day to the night
The sunlight to the sun
I am filled with dreams in which I want to accomplish
I am from the little stars in the sky
To the sunrays of the sun
I am from a rose in your garden
I am from a shining star in the sky
I am from a beautiful city
I am unique
From clothes, shoes, and accessories
I am from apples, watermelons and pineapples
I am from a dancing group
I am from a young, crazy, teen life
I am from a good life
I am from music, art, and literature

Mixed Cd Poem

La Crème de la Crème
December 2009
Life is a process. We are a process.
My life is always to remember
Even if I made mistakes
Though I had my special person.
I knew my life wouldn’t worsen
They called me daddy’s little girl.

A young and independent lady
I know I’m not shady
So listen to my story already.
I thought I was dead and gone
As I wake up in the hospital with a yawn
At that moment I knew I found god
I am glad you found me
And know you see
How my life changed from this big accident
It was the worst experience I ever had
This reminded me of what went bad
When my only angel of mine left to paradise

I have few regrets.
But that my president is black
Will never turn back.
Now we live a good life
Better then the life I live
And i thought i was going to go crazy


I like to be miss independent and just dance
When I listen to music I go into a trance
What comes around goes around
We all know as karma
I never like to be mad
I am a person that’s always glad
Imagination Life is your creation!
Lets live our future and view our past.

Mixed CD Story

La Crème de la crème

Looking back at your childhood may be an adventurous experience. I did have a few regrets that I wished to fix and make them better. Throughout my life I had someone very special to look u too. I know not many people are close to their daddy or some don’t even have a daddy. I am happy my daddy is still with because without him I wouldn’t get through the hard times I had in my life. They call me daddy’s little girl.
Music can be expressed in different types of perspectives. Depending on the way you think, or how you feel towards music. I personally love listening to music on any extra time or when I do homework. It makes me concentrate or at times I just listen to it for the fun of it. Songs have many different meanings. It’s like there is a song to every bit of my life. It can either be expressing a good life or a bad life.
Having a loved one pass away is a big turning point in my life. My lifestyle changed once my baby cousin Gabriel Angel Sahonero had passed away. Usually people perish because they already accomplished something in life that they had to accomplish before leaving. In this case my cousin didn’t need to live a life in order to accomplish anything. He left us because it was his time to go. Not only did my cousin cease to exist at still birth but he was a kid with Down syndrome. I met and know my guardian angel that is always watching over me.
As soon as I grew older I became to be more independent and handle things on my own. I had much confidence in succeeding on many of the things I wanted to accomplish in life. I was young and independent. Nobody’s perfect but I tried putting everything together and tried making everything as perfect as possible. It’s not how I did it but what I did.
One of the biggest experiences that I had come against was a car accident that almost took away my life. On January 30, 2009 I suffered a terrible disaster. I try to remember but I can’t think of what had happened that day. “My name is Vivian Sahonero.” That’s all that came to my mind. I don’t know how we crashed or how I got hurt. I was knocked unconscious and woke up in the hospital looking into the eyes of my friend’s dad. I thought it was just a dream but all my friends were telling me that they looked at me and thought I was dying due to the fact that I was hanging outside of the door. I never thought I would come close to death or even close to being in a terrible accident. I look bad and just thank that lucky star that I’m still here living my life.
“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows heaven to the soul.”

In a film you are producing the character may not be found as perfect but one who has a life similar to them can play a good part. When you are filming you can concentrate on ones past and make it a better future.

I Could Tell You Stories; Sojourns In The Land Of Memory by Patricia Hampl

Summary
The author explains how a writer can use their imagination when telling a story by using memoir. As the author explained memoir cannot be based on the real truth and may have several lies. In order for them to find out what they know they write about what they dont know. The "heart" is the boss of the writer therefore the writer writes without knowing to express hidden emotions of the image stored.

Connection
When making a film ones creativity and imagination may expand on the audiences view towards the film. While being a memoirist it is important "to step into the light" to express your hidden emotions not only the real image that was stored. In order to have a satisfying film it is more suitable to produce it as a memoirist.
