Sakura .Seals 11/8/15 Spanish 2 Stream­ Summer Benchmark Día de los Muertos is a popular holiday throughout Mexico. It is a holiday where families and friends celebrate and remember their loved ones who have passed. It is a 3 day event that starts on October 31 to November 2. They believe that the spirits of the dead come back to pay a visit to their families on these days. On this day you get to be with your family and celebrate with food, music, dances, make altes and have parades. The best thing about this holiday is that you get to honor and cherish those memories of your loved one who has passed. The person I am doing for Día de los Muertos is my mother Josette Green ­ Seals. She passed away on February 21, 2011 at the age of thirty nine for an asthma attack. Her birthday was on December 25, 1971. She had four kids , Josette, Asti, kitana and me Sakura. But my older sister josette died after she was born so I never got to meet her. My mom accomplished a lot in her life , she was educated in the Philadelphia public school system. My mom went to job corps and after that she joined the US Army. After leaving the military , my mom went to nursing school and became a LPN with great success. I admire my mom for everything she has done . My mother meant everything to me she was my mom and also my best friend I could talk to her about anything. She was the best mom you could ever have. Since we are both so much alike I feel like i'm missing a huge part of me that i can never get back . I decided to make my sugar skull and mask in remembrance of my mother because she was the best mom anyone could ask for. I loved her so much and now that she is gone I miss her even more . My sugar skull represents the kind person she is she put other before for herself to make sure everyone was happy , Even on her birthday she would make sure we got what we wanted even without really saving her some money to do something on her birthday which is on Christmas day . So I designed my motm’s sugar skull for her birthday it is in green and red. For the mask I decided to color if with her two favorite colors Purple and blue because she really like those color and she mainly brought her nursing uniforms in either purple or blue. Also my favorite colors is purple and blue which we have in common. Día de los Muertos has opened up my mind to see that instead of thinking about the bad things we should really think about the life our loved ones had. Not to be so sad about the passing but to celebrate them and all the good things they did in life .Cherish those precious memories because when you cherish those memories it can feel like your loved one has never really truly left but is always in your heart forever. panegírico vídeo https://www.wevideo.com/view/510127526 <iframe width='852' height='479' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border: none;' src='https://www.wevideo.com/embed/#510127526' allowfullscreen></iframe> panegírico Hola, mi nombre es Sakura Seals y voy a estar hablando con mi madre Josette green Seals .
