My soul is like a soft fragrance in my heart.
In this holiday season, full of magic and blessings, ask The Wishing Star to let the spirit of Christmas enter into our homes, especially our hearts and allow it to illuminate us with the greatest feelings of love and peace for ourselves, our family, friends and everyone around the world. The Wishing Star is inside of each one of us, and it allows us to just be a child again and bring happiness, joy and laughter in this holiday season. The Wishing Star is part of us. Don’t let its brilliance disappear.
A love note is like a spear to my heart. My heart has a fear of never being loved.
By Asalia R
Love is like taking your last breath, but never getting it back. I would do it all over again, for the love of winter.
The Flat Tire By Maria
English Second Language, 2nd year ast month when I got out from work I tried to find a short way to come home from Santa Fe to Albuquerque. As I was driving and trying to be on time to class that day. I think I am in the middle of the way and I hear something happen. So I stopped right away because I felt like something happened with the tire. I got out and checked and the tire was flat. I was scared and I didn't know what to do. The road was lonely and dark and a lot of people passed but I didn't feel good about someone stopping to help. I was panicked because the place was desolate. I didn't know where I was. I didn't try to get in the class because the place was dark and at the moment I was trying to get help. I don't remember if you texted me or I texted that I couldn't make because the internet so I tell you what was going on with me. I didn't expect that you could help me. But right away you answered and then Scott, the other teacher, texted me and asked me where I was and I said I don't know. Right away he told me how to use my phone to find where I am but I didn't have an idea how to use the phone to show where I am. So when he started telling me how to do it I started to do it and I relaxed a little by little to show where I am. We got it because he told me how to use google maps. Because I was nervous I didn't tell him the place exactly right. I said I-14 but it was highway 14. He told me how to use google maps so I can explain to the other people where I was so the other people could find me. I was glad everyone helped me Susanna helped me, Scott helped me, Felicia helped me and my friends helped me. When we found where I was I felt much better. I am going to say thanks to everybody from my class for helping me. Scott was with me until someone finally found me. He never left me. After that he tried to help me find a tire but it was too late. After that I felt more comfortable. From this lesson I feel I learned something in my life because I learned how to find my location and use google on my phone and I am not going to forget. I feel like I learned something very important. I am very glad this happened because I didn't miss the class. The class was by telephone and it was the best class. For me it was a special class.
