Hali Borjas - GRAPES Final Draft -

G.R.A.P.E.S./History of Me.

By: Hali Borjas

G(geography): Describe a time when you moved to a new place or visited a

new place.

Title: Ensenada,_Baja_California

The first time I visited “Ensenada, Baja California” it was amazing! The first day when I stayed there,
we went to the pool (For almost the whole entire day!) Nobody else was there, just my family, it was
kinda like we were VIP. The next day, We went out to eat the most delicious food such as camarones,
ceviche, etc. After, we had eaten we had taken a walk around the area as we were taking a walk, we
had saw boats and my father of course wanted us to try something new, so we went to pay and a guy
had taken us a ride in the boat, as we were vibing, we saw some seals, laying down and being lazy
haha, we had took some pictures of the seals and all of us spending our time together. After we got off
the boat we went to take a walk again and surprisingly there were water sprinklers and of course me
and my siblings decided to get wet, afterwards my parents had to dry us off with the wind. Then, we all
sat together and made jokes and laughed. I had so much fun! Especially with my family.

R(religion): Describe any time you visited a church, celebrated a religious
holiday, or any belief system that you or your friends practice.

Title: El dia la Virgen de Guadalupe

We celebrated El dia la Virgen de Guadalupe, as a memory. So, we go to church, they read a saying in
the Bible, afterwards they sing us a song and we all stand up and start to dance. Then, we start to
pray, etc. Once, a couple of hours have passed, we start to leave knowing that we have been blessed
with love.

A(achievements): Write about an invention that has improved your life and
how your life would be different if you did not have technology, such as
computers, smartphones, cars, etc.

Title: Phones

I would say phones, because if needed if you are having a problem/question about something and
nobody is there to explain it to you what it is, you can go to google and search up the problem/question
and you’ll be able to understand it and learn from it. If we did not have technology, I honestly don’t
know how different my life would be.

P(politics): Describe your household rules. What happens if you break a
household rule? How have your household rules changed as you have
become older?

Title: Don’t disrespect your parents, Do not say any type of bad words, and always listen when your
parents are speaking to you.

My household rules would be- do not disrespect your parents, Do not say any type of bad words, and
always listen when your parents are speaking to you. We get punished/grounded or we get the things
we value the most taken away. Honestly, my household rules do not change when I have become older,
it has been the same since.

E(economics): Explain your household chores and how much allowance you
earn. Describe the career you want when you grow up. Explain why you
want that career and how you feel it will shape your economics in the future.

Title: Why?

My chores would be putting away dishes, feeding my dog, and making my bed. I earn about 25 each
week for my allowance. I would like to be a FBI agent or an astronaut. The reason why I would like to
be an FBI agent is because well, it has always been my dream to bring in peace and defeat all evil. I
would like to help our community go against the bad. I feel that it will shape my economies in the
future because It creates structure and gives our community a piece of mind that someone is out there
helping us defeat evil. I would like to be an astronaut because it would be nice to go up to outer space
and discover new things that people probably didn’t even know about, as well as going on missions! I
feel that it will shape my economies in the future because it will help others learn about what’s going
on up there.

S(social structures): Describe your family—number of brothers and sisters
and their names. Write about your parents and other family members. What
do you like to do as a family?

Title: My family.

A way to describe my family would be- Crazy, Funny, Caring, loveable, and super cool of course. I
have 2 brothers and 1 sister, My brothers name is Christopher, and Noah! My sister's name is Maya!
My parents are so cool and chill, it’s like I could hang out with them ALL DAY. My other family
members too, they are so amazing like anyone would want to be like them. The things we do as a
family is have parties, create stories, visit a lot of new places, spend time together (Always on Sunday!),
talk to each other, make jokes or make each other laugh, etc.
