A Sad Place (Community Service)

   My previous school encourages the students to do community service, and tries to do some events that can help us to gain community service hours. One of these events involves students helping a group to built a basic house for a family. The normally send 5-7 students a day for a week. Workers called each one of us to help in various tasks. We would later take a break, work some more and arrive at school.

It was a really good experience because you not only helped people that really needed this houses, but also felt really self-conscious. Because of that, even for just a moment, you appreciated everything that you had. I personally It's true that I felt tired, and even lazy for some times, but I really liked helping them, it feels really good doing that. This experience may not be a really big one, but it a lot of fun, and it is something that I hopefully won't forget, because I may not know how it is to be without all this awesome things we have, but I could feel it; it's something that I don't wish for a person to happen.

The Greatest Thing (Accomplishment)


   Imagine yourself in a overpopulated small country, where economy is somewhat bad, and the government is just getting worse than before. El Salvador could be depicted as one of those countries. Not many opportunities are given there to rise up and be successful. It may not seem like it, but coming here is, for me, one of the best accomplishments I've made by far. This couldn't have happened without the help of many people. Coming here is one of the biggest dreams that a person from my country could have, but it's not likely to happen, and if it happens, it's going to be really hard at the beginning.

   This school might not be the best one there is in the U.S, but it sure is better than the ones in my country. Not just that, but there are more opportunities here for a better future than those in my country. It relates to my brand because I have to work hard to achieve what I want, and this is just the first step of a long-term goal, to try and help everyone that I can.

A Wish (Logo)



   This logo may not be the most beautiful there is out in the world, or the most creative, but it represents what I want to do in the future. The logo is made out of a four-point star and inside it, the Earth. At least for me, most of the time, the star can be seen as a sign of hope, of not giving up. The reason why the Earth is inside the star is because of a wish that could possibly make the world a little bit better.

   This can be related to my brand because I want to help everyone, not leaving anyone behind, that's why the Earth is inside the star. Its meaning ay not be interpreted as I would like to. People could confuse it with me being some kind of hope to the entire world, when it's not true. I want people to see it as something that could possibly give hope to almost everyone, not making a person famous for it. My goal is to achieve all that I can, and when the time comes, try to help everyone I can, little by little. I really like this logo because of that, and I hope that my, almost impossible wish might become a reality.
