Begin a great undertaking

Today can be the beginning, the beginning of a brand new life, the beginning of a grandiose undertaking, the beginning of something great.

Today can also be the continuation of something dull, the continuation of misery, sadness, despair, loneliness, unhappiness; the continuation of something not so great.
What today will be, it'll be up to you. You can put a stop...to the continuation of whatever has been going on...the minute you chose to begin a great undertaking.

"Today can be the beginning of a new, exciting life or the continuation of an old, dull one. You choose." ~Andres Lara

Gates essay #3

Most of my family was born in México, my father and mother came over here to the United States for the same reason most immigrants do, in search of the American dream. I am the only child, out of my four siblings, that has had the privilege to be born a citizen of the United States. My mother never had the opportunity to attend high school because in México, she would have to stay at home to take care of her younger siblings and help her mother with the daily chores. My father on the other hand was in the Mexican Air Force, as a result of that; he had the opportunity to receive a college education. Both my parents not only had to leave their families behind in Mexico when they left, but also their lives. They knew however, that we deserved a better future. They are exceptional and hard working people, and as cliché as it sounds, they are truly my heroes. I completely and utterly admire them. I feel so privileged to be born in the United States. I have so many opportunities to accomplish my goals that my parents never had. They gave me an advantage towards a better and successful future. The first place I can remember we lived in was a two-bedroom apartment. It was beyond cramped, considering there were six people living there. My dad had just begun to work as a fisherman in Alaska and gain some profit. My mother would clean houses all day long. From the very beginning they demonstrated to us that hard work pays off.
It was during elementary school when I invited two boys to my house to play, there were my friends from school. Their mothers, however no mom never picked them up, then my mother became worried. They told us that from time to time their mother would leave them home for days, with out supervision or food. It soon became too much for my mother to bear. She finally took this to the police and the court declared that their mother no longer could support these children. My parents, after a long and tedious process, ended up with full adoption of two boys. Not only was this a new experience for me, but for my entire family. During the time of the adoption my parent were not citizens or residents to this country yet, so it made the process more difficult. With the right lawyer and determination, they ended up getting their residency. With the adoptions the family was grew no to eight, making it harder for my parents to support the family. This meant longer hours working and less time with the family. They never gave up though; they knew that the end result was worth it. Now with all problems fixed I was able to start paying them back for what they did for me. I wanted to be the best person I could be by accomplishing my studies and graduating from high school with outstanding community service. I know my mother will be happy to see her son accomplish something she could never do and seeing her eyes I know I made her a proud to have a son that will succeed at anything he tries. I guess being a Hispanic itself was a struggle I had to overcome. I wont be stopping there either, but going to college and acquiring an education that would lead me to career my parents never dreamed of. I know that never in my whole life will I be able to repay what my parents that suffered to give me the life I deserve, but I promise to do whatever is in my power to make them proud.

gates essay #2

Seventh grade summer I was introduced to the 4H program. During the first two years at the program, I participated as a camper. My friend were the ones whom convinced me into joining, but I am so thankful they did. When I began going to the camp, I was amazed how comfortable I felt and this was due to the counselors. They did not appear to me as authority, but more like a friends that I admire. After that year I aspired to one year become a counselor as inspiring as them. After two life changing years participating in the program, it was finally my turn to become a counselor. The 4H program was and still is incredible, it motivated me to become a better person, the person I am today. Freshman year of high school was when I began my first year as a 4H Camp Counselor. I was very devoted, attending all three weekend meetings throughout the year so I may get feedback, advice, extra training, and also create a relationship with the fellow camp counselors that I would be working with throughout the year. I also lent a hand with the middle school and elementary camps which was great because I truly got the best of both worlds. In 2008, I received an award presented to me for five years of loyalty to the 4H Latino Summer Camps. I did not stop then however, I went ahead and participated in the camp for two more years, this will be my last year as a counselor. This is not my last year at the camp though, I am planning on becoming a staff member helping counselors learn how to handle the youth. I honestly believe that helping others realize the better in themselves and show them that college is for everyone and anyone is one of my callings. I not only gave them the confidence to believe in themselves, but also present to them that there are options money wise to help them pay for getting the best education possible. I became a leader in 4H by learning for my elders and showing pride in 4H. This program has helped me improve my lifestyle and to live my dream, by having the opportunity to help others that are in need. I want youth to understand that no matter what your background is, anything is possible; I am a living proof of that.

Gates Essay #1

These are some of the essays I had to do for my Gates scholarship, Thought I'd put them on my blog. Ill post one everyday... there is like 4 or 5 I think.

The most challenging subject for me is by far mathematics, but surprisingly, I enjoy taking part in the class. If it was not for these challenging math courses, I would have not had the chance to surpass my comfort zone and push myself into becoming the student I am today. As a result of this, not only has my knowledge of mathematics increased, but my work ethic skills have improved greatly as well. When freshman year began I decided to chose a different path in life. I no longer wanted to follow the path I was on, I wanted to do better for my family and ultimately myself. This intended that I and only I, had to strive for the best in myself by actually paying attention as the teacher lectured and truly comprehending what they meant. This was a new concept for me, but I was determined to move on forward no matter how many times I felt like accepting defeat. I believe that my difficulties in understanding math was not a result of me not being able to understand what the teacher was discussing in class, but instead because I could not stay in the task at hand. This was attributed to the fact that my social life, at the time, was more important than my education. I knew that I deserved a prosperous future and I was determined to acquire it. That is why once I arrived into high school, my grades were put above everything else. A good education truly is the first step into a successful future. Although I still have difficulties in my mathematic courses, I have this internal drive that does not allow me to give up, but instead push me to my limits and beyond, proving that in the future, I will become the successful man I am destined to be.

What to do...

Okay Isaac I understand some things, but I can't fully grasp it. You have to take into account everything, stay who you are. It will come... Eventually. Yeah it was weird. You have to keep on with your respect, because thats who you are. Keep it positive... keep your engine going. You have fallen multiple times, and still you stand. You have been to hell and back, and still you stand. You have been shoved into the Dirt, told you wouldn't make it, beat up mentally... You are still here and you Still stand. Your Heart has been ripped apart and healed, But you still stand. You have been shoved in your grave... Almost buried alive, but you took the weight and climbed out... Exhausted, dead, pain, tears.... Fuck why me? Straighten that upper lip, Get up, stand tall for you are a CAMACHO, Keep your chin up... Keep on3 forward. No matter what the pain, how hard the obstacles... Im going to make your Proud mom... Thats a promise That I will keep. You are my fuel, you are the reason why I Stand... the reason why I keep walking Forward <3

Camps

WRote this fast so sorry for misspelled words
So the last 2 weeks I have been voulenteering at a summer camp for 4-H.
I am a counsler for youth development in 4-H. See though the thing is my whole situation was fucked up, you know with the break up and stuff and I really have not recovord fully... These camps helped me so much. Surrounded by so much people soupporting you at every step you take. People that love you for who you are. I am strong because of these camps, they make me who I want to be. Education is the most important thing in life, without it you suck haha. Im just saying the future of the country is in our youth and without the right development, there will be no future. I met amazing people =D Long term friendships are made at 4-H... and that is real friends. Not friends that lure you in to commit bad things. Lets see, life as a camacho... Im gaining weight. Realation-ship status single, Not going to talk to my Ex now, if she wanted to she should have done it already. She has her life and when she broke up with me she said... Isaac you deserve better than me, I didn't start thinking about that until last couple weeks. I stopped having dreams about her, I even pretty much stopped checking her everyday moves and status shit. I used too... Now not really. I mean yes she's amazing, but she was right... I need a girl that suits me. Im a nice guy a great person, already have my life planned out, religious views on life. We are different her and I. I cant' say the pathway it will take, I might be leaving her but never her family because they never left me and still to this day they haven't... kind family... really at the time was almost my second family I liked to say. I want to enjoy my single life =D and I have lately... Camps were awesome and I danced and Talked with a lot of people =D I've had amazing days. I just wish my ex good luck, with everything... I still pray for her, I pray for a lot of people. Praying isn't to hate Im not saying oh this and that she's bad... no because she's great, but I want her to reach her greatest goals and meet her dream guy... I mean Ill be a tough act to follow ;D yeah right I suck haha jk Im alright ha... Laughing is good =D
You never know maybe Another girl will come soon ;D
My ex kinda discribed my future girlfriend when she broke up with me.
she said, She will be a hispanic speaker so your mom will love her to death, she will be Beautiful, have a future, dance.
Maybe I should listen to her and not be stuobbern and find one like that ;D

Adios amigos
Reno Comes soon, oh yeah and the mind at isaac too,

Just a Five Letter Word

Shawn Chrystopher
I never said bitch till my heart was broken,
Now it seem like bitch the only word ever spoken

They teach you how to love, but never the out come
So when I see love. I'm trying to out run
And ima do this cart lewis on this life track
I gave her everything, I want my life back
And that ring too, oh what I mean boo
I mean my life is fucking better since I seen you
All up in my life like r3 d2
Who knew with out that make up you were see through
We grew apart like lines in a broadway play
And I aint mean to pick apart that day
When you say us is too much too try to discuss
And I aint even did shit, wasn't even no mistrust
You was fuckin tripin and couldnt handle life
So then you cut me off, and bitch that wasn't right
Remember that night, your whole family put you down
And I treat you like a queen, even handed you a crown
But then you slipped off like nightgowns do at ron day vus
They say you never play your part, you loose
But I play my part like denzel trainin day was my fuckin oscar
But you the actress bitch, yeah a fuckin imposter
But now I got a roster, and you aint even startin
I got a new bitch, bitch, and you aint even parkin
Oh I'm sorry bitch, did I offend you,
Great bitch cause I ment too

I never said bitch till my heart was broken,
Now it seem like it's the only word ever spoken
I never said bitch till my heart was broken,
Now it seem like bitch the only word ever spoken

Live in the same city, drive the same streets
But when I ask for some time, you say you can't meet
You say you gotta work, and you got shit to do
But all that really means is I don't mean shit to you
So what's the point of me standing here on my own two
And when I need to talk too, I tell her phone you
Naw that aint the life, at least not for me
You got me writing don't my shit like I was socrates
And last night I met a girl that was in the club
She told me by the way I look, she knew I need love
Gave me a hug, and it felt so good
And she treated me in all the ways I wish you sorta would
I wish you sorta could, but you don't have the time
How we gonna be in love, when I was next in line
I brought that girl home, I hope you understand
She made me feel like a man

I never said bitch till my heart was broken,
Now it feel like bitch the only word ever spoken
I never said bitch till my heart was broken,
Now it feel like bitch the only word ever spoken

(shawn Chrystopher)

Its always me who is getting hurt, because I cant do the hurting... I don't like seeing others in pain. If its me who has to carry that pain for them... Im willing to do that. Nobody should feel like that. In life you move on, Ill tell you I have never found love and be mad at me hate me whatever but Love Is Forever. I thought I was in love, but I guess I lied to myself... but when you lie constantly it turns true.
I can't go back now, but I don't really care... I Was a fucking good boyfriend and thats all that matter... Don't downgrade cuz thats stupid but try to get better. Who do you think you are really? think about it ha, I laugh because its true.
anyways off to camp got shit to do =D
Peace love!

Dream

Last night I had a dream... that I was in a house. You were there... but my heart didn't. My heart did not sting. This dream was different, that is because I felt different. I did not feel that pain. There was somebody else, Sitting there looking at me... a soft smile given... a smile returned. Then I knew the chase has begun. I woke up... Felt different.
The things dreams tells us.

Play Full Game...

Wherever you stand right now in life, remember that..it's only half time. You still have the second half to go.

So if you've been winning, keep your guards up, don't let it get to your head because you can still be outplayed by life. If you've been losing, you are probably being underestimated, take advantage of it.

You cannot call yourself a winner till the end of the game, nor can you call yourself a loser while the game is still on. Play a full game.

Don't give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half." ~Coach Paul Bryant

Shes From Mexico

I like to do a lot of community service in the summer, Well I love doing it to help the community, I feel good when I do something for others... I like to help thats all. Sometimes it pays off though, especially when you get to know new people. I Love making new friends and yes I could be she sometimes but once I get to know you well Im fine. One day I go in the office and there she is a random girl... Don't know who she is. I soon Rememberd that every year students usually come from mexico for the camps. We talked that day in the office and we got to know each other well. I invited to her to the movies, BTW Transformers 3 Was amazing! She came but could not figure out what they were saying. Next day we went on a walk downtown, I got to show her around and I got to practice spanish while she got to practice english. This girl is pretty awesome, i mean i'm not looking for a Girlfriend or anything and she has a Boyfriend anyways. I just want a friend and its fun to be around somebody where you could have fun and just have a good time. She loves to dance, I promised her a dance to Some spanish music, which she keeps wanting me to dance haha. Watch when we go to the dance im going to bust out all the moves ha and she is going to be surprised because THIS BOY COULD DANCE! She wanted reggeton but I told her salsa and cumbias, banda, are only aloud at the came... Reggeton can... Um... Get a little outta hand with me haha.
Well today was an amazing 4th of july... Family And Friends Forever.
-Isaac Camacho
Sorry for mis spelling i am typing fast ha

Again, stuck in my head.

So look,

Life is filled of choices and decisions. Every choice you make is a path... Life is a path a road that you are going along on. So Its almost like a highway with a lot of exits. Each exit is its own subject. One exit could be a girl another exit could be another girl. One exit could be College. Another Dance. ect. Anything you could think of, being a main subject is an exit. Okay Lets say i take the exit of dance, That exit leads to many other roads so what dance? hip hop is one road and electro is another road. Okay? what about electro lets just say i take that path... There is competitions vertigight different styles... It just leads on to so much more My mind goes to the end... puts me with all the possibilities that can happen... so I know what could happen what to expect.
For a girl, you see her and think of everything... she is her own exit... that exit leads to many diffrent roads... it could just lead to friends, relationship, hooking up etc. anything that is possible with the girl. I think of it all to the end, But some roads end and you have to cancel them out... with questions... like saying there is no way that would happen... like uncommon ways... like me dying tomorrow or something that isnt likely to happen so i wont go on that road for to long.
Ive never really been able to explain how it all comes together but my mind procesess everything to the end.
Lets say im walking down the street... a guy is walking in opposite direction. that whole time its going to take about 30 seconds for him to pass me. In those 30 seconds my mind is canceling out diffrent possiblities. First thing he could walk past me not look, second i want to be safe i don't want him to hurt me. 3rd what is he carrying, who is he what does he look like what shoes what pants. All goes to my head... What could he do to me, PUll a knife pull a gun try to mug me... so when he passes me i know what his foots steps sound like... any sudden moves and i turn quick. i think of where i will strike and what i would do, I am always one step ahead of the opponent. e

Its crazy but ive done it my whole life and its 18 years and ive gotten really good at it. good at finding things and i use it for my advantage... Its really mind blowing i guess. When i was in cadet academy we were taught something like that and i picked it up fast because i got what it the lesson was saying... "always be prepared for everything, No matter what"

Letters To Ha

Greed like getting what one wants just for themselves... Greed can hurt people. Love on the other hand is a strong word. I always get screwed on love. I know how to treat a girl right though. Its coming to a time where girls want bad guys, not nice guys, but it changes they figure out later that they are douche bags. Then they come to the nice guys... nice guys finish last. Most girls have thought at least a bit about being with a nice guy... thought of dating one. You are you nobody can change that hah =D just be yourself and one day love will come. The real Love not the fake kind. Right now Im just living the single life waiting for that one girl... I know she will come one day... who knows when or if i already know her or not.. but if I don't die it will happen... because i'm a lover not a hater. I like cuddling I love kissing I love romantic stuff... Im a august summer baby =D Takes time then girls would be jumping all over ha =D So for all the nice guys out there... Be patients my friends... They soon have to settle =D Just be happy for what you do have =D
