She Let it Get to Her

14 YEAR OLD GIRL FOUND DEAD IN WOODS

Fourteen year old Amber Mercedes Baez was found dead in the middle of the woods in Newell on November, 2 2011. She had both her feet, and left hand mutilated, but her right hand was still in tact holding a knife. Detectives say that she might have done this to herself because her right is dominant, and she might have been having some depression earlier that day. "She's usually so happy all the time," says Veronica Baez(34 years), "maybe she let the bottled up depression get to her." Nobody know the real reason why she might of done this, but whatever it was, it must have been deathly cruel.

OBITUARY

Amber Mercedes Baez(2.11.97-11.2.11) was from Bronx, New York. With the parents of Veronica Baez, and Diocorides Baez, they raised her well with good advice, and discipline. Amber's mother nicknamed her Mercey because of her middle name. Her grandparents are old and wise, but really wierd and funny. So was her Aunts Chispi and Goldi, and her Uncle Papito. She had no nieces or nephews though. With her funny sence of humor, she made two of her closest friends, which were Haley Kaczmarek, and Hannah Joy Crawley and they understood almost everything about her. They know that she likes; art, drawing, writing poetry, purple, and monkeys. Her younger sibling, Daniel Baez(10.4.99), was one of the most annoying things one can encounter, however, he was also her best friend. Without him, she would have no one to make fun of, and tease in the most friendly way possible. Amber also shared some pets with him. Two kittens, Lilu and Lola, and two turtles, Drake and Diana. She was a freshman at Oak Glen Middle school, and kept her grades high with pride, however, she was unemployed. She did have some awards though, like a couple of Perfect Attendence certificate along with a Student of the Month reward all in different schools in her past. She had almost no disappointments in her happy life.  With only one god to believe in and no religion, she was a very happy person with a great outlook on life. One might describe her as happy, motivated, and had good morals. Though her death was brutal, we will never forget the joyful life she tried to lead.

Dear Robbie,

Dear Robbie,

I don't really know what to say. There's words that cannot express how sorry I am. I very much wish it were me who died and not you. You had so much going for you, I don't. I'm going to be a deadbeat and probably die in a street fight anyway. You on the other hand, had a scholarship going for you and you're smart too. You would figure out a way to get over me dying. The kids over here are really mad at me for what I have caused. They wrote that I was a killer on my locker, and give me funny looks. I can't take you being gone. It's stressing me out a lot! The folks even got me seeing a shrink. There was a Santa at the mall that reminded me of you and I broke down. My girl Keisha cheered me up though, she's been helping me get through. Anyway, there's words that cannot express how sorry I am. Let me put it like this:

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. . . . .

Your boy,
Andy

Only Three

One thing I would get rid of in this world, are mosquitoes! They have no purpose in this world, and all they do is spread diseases! They've been around for 30 million years, and still not gone. I really do hate them, and all they do is make you all itchy!  Another thing I would get rid of, is the ability to be quick to judge. I just wish everyone would just get to know people first, and THEN think before they hang out with them. If you're quick to judge, then how will you ever even know that person for who they really are. It isn't fair. The last thing I would get rid of, is cursing. It doesn't make sense, so why does it exist? If you use it, it's disrespectful, if you don't use it, to some people it's weird. It has no use for this world, so why have it? It also hurts some people's feelings. There are a lot of mean things that you could do with curse words, and it isn't very funny no matter if it's in a good, or bad way. So, there are the three things I'll get rid of, and I hate them. I think you might agree.

Income/Expenses

My occupation is being a truck driver and get paid $45,000. My spouse however, is a mailman, and gets paid $42,000. We make $7,050 a month. I don't think I have enough money to provide for my needy children. They ask for everything. If I don't get it for them, they guilt-trip me, and then what am I supposed to do? I mine as well beat them with a belt! And what is with these bills?! I don't think I could handle this. Sometimes, I wish it was the old days, no bills, no money, no anything. It's really awesome. Anyway, I hate my job, I wish I worked in the art industry, and as for my husband, I have no idea. I don't know what to do. I should make the whole family vegetarian, just so I could grow food. I'd save so much money. If that happened, I'd have a happy life!

What is a hero REALLY?!

What makes a hero, a hero? Is it their mutant powers? Is it their good looks, and fashion sense? Or is it their will to save people in danger? There are many qualities in a hero, but only one of these is 99% right. Heroes are not only life savers, but individuals who want to help people move up in life. They wouldn't want to become a burden to anyone!

Let me ask you just one question; would you sacrifice yourself to save the world? A very common question, I know. But WOULD you? I'll give you my answer; Yes. I will sacrifice myself to save the world for the greater good. If sacrificing myself meant pain and despair to the world compared to what it is now, I wouldn't do it. It's truly amazing how many good people are in this world. It's hard to believe so because some of us aren't around them. We're mainly around foolish, and ignorant people, and it's hard for us to get through without them doing something that might slow us down.

I don't really think I have a hero. I don't look up to anyone to follow what they do or anything. I believe in making my own choices with what I think is right, not what some hero would do. I'm not really sure how people with heroes work, but I'm not quite sure I have one. Does this hero have to change your life, or just a part of it, like a hobby or sport? If so, my hero is Life herself. The beautiful things she makes, like trees, and animals, the sky inspires me to live and be happy. I guess I have to conclude this with a question or something. So world, who's your hero?
