Sometimes we forget that we have our own path to take, instead we just follow the path of others just to assure that we wont do anything wrong. We forget that we are all special in out own ways. Some forget that, and try to mimic the talents of others when there are your own hidden talents inside.

If wishes had wings we’d all make it to heaven and we’d all be kings.

 I love to play sports, meet new people, and I love to make art. I am Cahuilla Indian. One of my great ancestors was called "FigTree John" because he was known for planting the first fig tree in the Coachella Valley. He was my grandma’s great great great grandpa. His real name was John Razon. He was from the Torrez Martinez Indian Reservation. My autonym is Mau-Wal-Mah Su-Kutt Menyil,which is said to mean "among the palms, deer moon.  

 

My  Names  is  Fabian  Pugal.  I  am  from  Torrez  Martinez  Desert  Cahuilla  Reservation.  I  am  16-­‐year-­‐old  junior  at  Indio  High  School.  I  have  3  younger  brothers  and  1  younger  sister.    My  dream  is  to  become  a  mechanical  engineer  and  an  artist.    I  love  cars  and  it  would  be  dreams  if  I  were  to  ever  own  a  Nissan  350z.  I  would  love  to  be  very  successful    and  just  know  that  I  have  lived  my  life  to  the  fullest.  My  favorite  drink  is  orange  juice.  I  love  ice  cream.  I  also  like  meeting  new  people.  I  love  to  smile  all  the  time.  I  am  thankful  for  everyday  because  its  beautiful  just  like  each  and  every  person.  

I  love  my  art  so  much.  I  do  understand  that  there  are  people  that  are  way  much  better  than  me.  I  know  that  if  you  practice  you  will  get  better  and  I  think  personally  these  past  years  I  have  been  getting  better.  One  day  I  want  to  have  art  in  the  muesums.  I  do  art  because  it  relaxs  me  and  it  just  amazes  me  sometimes  like  all  this  can  come  from  the  head  and  put  it  on  paper.    I  belive  that  the  imagination  is    the  key  to  loving  life  and  being  yourself.      

Healthy eating habits can prevent diabetes from happening. Diabetes can happen

to anybody. Everybody is a victim

and exercise can prevent it.

The anatomy lab was cool. We saw human rib cage and the heart sizes. We saw how the leg worked and all types of other body parts work. We saw an x-ray scan. We also had seen the difference between a regular heart and abnormal heart. I learned a lot of things that I didn’t know before.  

We also learned how the people at Disney need to know how the body structure works to draw their characters.
