Maduts Snow
I have been dying to plop down in the snow and make a snow angel. The only place that could be done is in the parking lot so I decided not to... theres Yellow Snow...
So instead I bundled Madut and Aluel (my Chihuahua) up and we went outside. It was funny I put Madut down in the snow and he sank down all the way in the snow, and aluel all I saw was her coat as she jumped around trying to stay above ground.
We built a tiny snowman and used a twig for the face, I was kind of nervous taking him out in the snow but I wanted some picures. we where out total of 5 minutes but I still feel bad about taking him outside.

My life 2006
I wrote this in 2006
it has changed but it still is fun to look at
My name is Sarah Martinez, People always ask me what I want to do with my life, my answer was, "I’ll get Married have kids," now if someone asks me I say I want to go toSudan to open an orphanage and a medical center. Let me start by going all the way back to when I was a freshman in high school, School was a fun fest. I loved to sit in the back of the class and talk with my group of friends, I was known as the class slacker. I always failed my classes but didn’t really care, there was only one class that I liked and that was Music. When I became a sophomore I went to school a total of 20 times from September to December, it didn’t matter, my mom had given up on me going to school she lost the fight I thought I had won. Sometime in December we got a call from the principal and he told me to talk to a school counselor, well the counselor told me if I didn’t go to school that I would go to jail because of something called the Becka Bill. I asked her why it matter I was going to fail anyways. She said that she would help me find a solution. A couple days later she told me about a place called Job Corps, she said that I could go there to get my high school diploma. So after I set up appointments and got accepted to go to a job corps. I had to wait a few more weeks to become 16 and a spot to open up. On March 30, 2004 I was accepted to go to Tongue Point Job Corps in Astoria Oregon. At first I didn’t like it, but within a couple days I loved it, there were so many cultures. So many people, every one was there to learn, sure they wanted to have fun too but you could see the excitement in their eyes with a second chance at education, friends, clothes, food, and board. I caught the excitement and instead of competing to be the loudest kid I competed to be the best, it was wonderful learning math, and reading then using what you know to teach others.
Also at Job Corps they teach you a vocational trade, I wanted to study to be a CNA (certified nurses’ aide). I wanted to be a CNA because my grandpa was in a retirement home when he died and I thought they were really nice to him. The class was great I had the best teacher in the world. She was an excellent teacher, but a mom to us too. She inspired us, encouraged and always thought the best of her students. She showed me important things, she helped me to realize how important education is, and how there are people out there to help you and to love you. In class I was taught another way to learning I had been competing for years but Jackie taught us how to help each other to learn she taught us that we are human and that we all need help. She even told us that everyone can be leaders no matter your background or anything.
Moving out of the classroom there were other students who like to learn I was amazed to see people from Africa mostly from Sudan or Ethiopia, the people from these places became my greatest friends I had a friend from Ethiopia he taught me how to keep going no matter what happened he had no where to go when he left job corps or for the vacations, he was my best friend we were always together, with him I don’t think I would have made it through the first couple months.
I also met Sudanese people; I will never forget them I will be friends with them until the day I die. These men where serious they wanted an education they wanted money to spend to their families back in Sudan, I can’t name them they know who they are, they hold a special place in my heart many of them like brothers to me. These were the people that kept me alive, taught me happiness, they taught me how to open up to people, heck they taught me how to play dominoes they never said that my problems were unimportant but when they talked to me about their families, villages and what happened to them when they were young I understood that what they went through no one should even have nightmares about. The most important thing to them was getting an education to take home when they went back and sending their families money so they wouldn’t starve. After spending a year in Job Corps I applied to continue on there to go into the ACT program (I could go to the local college) I was turned down because the board didn’t really think I was ready yet. So I graduated Job Corps on April 9, 2005.
I moved in with my Sudanese boyfriend where he helped me to learn the language and we where together for 3 years. After we broke up I decided to get serious with my goals to achieve them. It took me a while but I decided that helping others is what makes me happiest so I plan on going to Sudan to open an orphanage and a medical clinic. This is all that matters to me, if I can’t help others why am I here? If it hadn’t been for Job Corps and my friends I would be sitting on my moms couch doing nothing. I am happy I went to job corps it changed my life forever.

Paternity Test
So we finally get to do the swab test tomorrow!! My part of this is over! Well until we prove that he is a part of this. (I don't want to call him Maduts dad) I forward to doing the test tomorrow, then all I have to do is wait for him to do his part! After the testings done we have to do a visitation schedule. But the thing is Madut and I have a restraining order against him so hopefully the judge will take that into consideration. This guy has threatened to do to much from kidnapping to hurting or worse. So I hope to only get child support from him and he doesn't get visitation rights
