By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday I saw tents being set up. It was a windy day and because the tent had no stakes, it went rolling. Everyone chased it as it rolled across the north lawn. Later, some young women came up to me to do a photo survey about social justice and spirituality. The beautiful cardsContinue reading “Winds”

Religious Liberty
By: Gabriela Yareliz I found this video, and I was excited to see a woman I admire very much speaking of religious liberty and the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Thank you to the United States government and all of the governments of the world that promote religious liberty and freedom of conscience.
Ojos/ Eyes
By: Gabriela Yareliz Ojos astrales [Poema: Texto completo] José P. H. Hernández Si Dios un día cegara toda fuente de luz, el universo se alumbraría con esos ojos que tienes tú. Pero si -lleno de agrios enojos por tal blasfemia- tus lindos ojos Dios te arrancase, para que el mundo con la alborada de tuContinue reading “Ojos/ Eyes”
Charles Dickens
By: Gabriela Yareliz Did anyone see the Google page today? Is that not the most fantastic thing you’ve ever seen? Happy 200th birthday Charles Dickens. Your stories with Pip, Estella, Scrooge, Oliver, and my personal favorite, Davy Copperfield, have inspired generations. They are stories about life, love, introspection and social change. I couldn’t let the day passContinue reading “Charles Dickens”
Cricket
My team 🙂 By: Gabriela Yareliz Reporting on Cricket has been so much fun. Every Tues./Thurs. it makes my day. I am usually tired, hungry and cold by the time practice begins, but it is always a blast. I am starting to understand what the team’s Hindi means without knowing Hindi. And I think we’ve madeContinue reading “Cricket”

Yesterday afternoon I stopped at the Taco Bell off of Archer. It used to be gross to be honest, but now it’s remodeled and clean. TheContinue reading “Hospital Español”
Broken Families and Chocolate’s link to Child Slavery
By: Gabriela Yareliz 1] I found out today that Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp have separated. This makes me sad. It’s one of those break-my-heart moments. I guess because I come from a broken home, I know what this means for the children invovled. That is always who I think about. When parents divorce, separateContinue reading “Broken Families and Chocolate’s link to Child Slavery”
Observant
By: Gabriela Yareliz Good morning! So, guess who the new Cricket reporter is? Yup- me. Thank you Patalia House (bollywood movie) for peaking my interest. I really need to get a Cricket for dummies book or something. At least I know what a bowler is. This morning, I looked up at a building and it wasContinue reading “Observant”
Christmas
By: Gabriela Yareliz I have finished two books. I am proud of myself. Today on the radio I cried (again) with Kidd Kraddick’s Christmas wish. Today they granted money and $10,000 (money for tuition) to a 19-year-old girl who has terminal cancer and takes care of her brother’s three kids. When you look at otherContinue reading “Christmas”
Final Exams
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am done. No more final exams. I took my final final. 🙂 I am feeling great. Now, I must start doing what I dislike most, going to stores. It is that season. This morning, I thought no buses were running and I got all scared until some ghetto bus with whatContinue reading “Final Exams”
