Notes

I am Christian so I believe that a person's death is not the end of their life. I believe that when a person dies, they have life in the future. They are born as another human but with the same soul. Even though someone that you know dies, it is just them letting go of their physical body. Every culture and religion has differing ideas about afterlife, but Christianity highlightes rebirth and heaven. People around the world are worried about their spirit going either to Heaven or hell. It depends what faith they are and how they chose to live their life. We can't be sure exactly what happens after death, so all people have different opinions. I have many friends that strictly believe that once a person dies, nothing happens. It is all a matter of belief.

During the school year, I get up at six thirty on weekdays. I take a shower, eat breakfast, brush my teeth, and arrive at school at seven thirty. I go to seven classes which all take fifty-five minutes. In between, we have a lunch break where I talk with friends and eat. My last class is a sport with a school team. During the autumn, I do cross country, and at the end of the year, swimming is my sport. This takes about an hour, then I go home. Here, I do my homework for about an hour. Once I'm done, I paso un rato con los amigos. When I get home, I eat another meal, brush my teeth, and go to bed.

Nobody konws where the Aztecs are from. There are speculations about where Aztlan is located, but they were a society that went all over the place. There is a legend that their main God Huitzilopochtli commanded them to leave Aztlan to find a place better suited for their society. After a very long travel, they arrived to an area that is now Mexico City, located in a fertile valley. This place was already occupied by stronger tribes and the Aztecs had to pay a lot to remain safe. They were not welcome anywhere so they went around until they saw a sign from their God. It was the eagle standing in a cactus eating a snake, signifying that this is the place to build their civilization. Tenoch, their leader, founded a city called Tenochtitlan in 1325. They built their city very strong and fought battles and made alliences. They were the strongest group in hte Valley of Mexico with a population of 200,000, which was very large at the time. They developed many technologies that were used in the city such as fresh water and bathrooms. On August 13, 1521, Hernán Cortés and his forces attacked the city and many citizens died from diseases brought by the Spaniards. Now, you can see reminants of Tenochtitlan in Meico city.
