Reflection on Richard Cory

"when I memorized the poem "Richard Cory "I  started to think about it differently. I thought about why he might have killed himself, and I thought about how the poem relates to my life today. I think he killed himself because he was feeling  lonley. His story shows that money isn't everything to have a good life. Richard Cory's story relates to me when I feel stressed out but, I don't think about committing suicide because my family shows me love. The author shows that being happy is much more than having money.

Welcome to the life of Jacob Estrada

Hello everyone, my name is Jacob Estrada. I am 14 years old, and I am the youngest of  five. Fun fact about me is I’m a fraternal twin. My twin also happens to be a girl; my sisters name is Isabella. I come from a family that is considered “tight knit”. We have overcome many   Challenging things the past two years which has made my family stronger. Other activities I enjoy alone, and as a family is baseball. A passion for baseball all started with my grandpa. My grandpa would spend everyday on his favorite couch watching baseball games, and when he passed my dad decided to keep the legacy alive by enrolling us in baseball. My brothers led the way, and I followed their footsteps. We have all been playing since we were at least 7, and enjoy the sport. My brother as a matter of fact, won CIF title for our school the Santa Maria saints. I am looking forward to this upcoming season of baseball, and also my year as a sophomore.  This is my life as Jacob Estrada.
