Dear Wendy:
I feel I am living her poem, “A poem of Mexico,” because Mexico is very gorgeous place. Is a place where you can relax be with were family and live together. And I am in USA and my parents are in Mexico and it is hard living far from them.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “She waits for the day when she’ll go back
She waits for the day where she’ll see her family again.” I think this is as a hope because personally I wait for the day to see my parents. It’s a sacrifice the simple fact of begin away from them.
Thanks for writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because we are many children of Mexican parents that we went through this situation. Mexico is the only place where you can feel breath good aire and feel part of there. I am sure that your writing are going to represent me.

Dear Wendy,
“A poem of Mexico” is a very versatile poem. There are many literary devices that you use that really bring out the poem. Specifically your use of repetition makes the poem more powerful. When you repeat she waits, it just adds more emotion. The more emotion makes it easier for people to fully connect to the poem.
This poem i feel like is relatable to a lot of people. I personally relate to it, because I yearn to go back to my family in China. Im waiting for the day I go back to be reunited. This poem just bring back multiple memories of going back to China. This poem isn’t just relatable to me, but I for other people. Especially, people who have family in other countries.
Your writing is brilliant. I hope to see more of your work. I love that you go back to your culture and really represent.

Your fellow student,

Dear Wendy:
I am impressed by your poem, “A Poem of Mexico,” because it is a very beautiful and calming poem. One line that stands out for me is, “She waits for the day and is getting tired She waits for the day and isn’t getting inspired ” I think this line is intriguing because as you end with a rhyme the poem ends at a happy tone making me wonder what could happen next. Another line that stands out for me is, “To breathe in the unique scent of the day” I think this line is interesting because as when I read it I can almost hear the Inhale and exhale and it makes your feel very relaxed and calm. Your poem reminds me of a poem that I once read. It talking about a game that they were played and strategizing to win, Your poem is also like a battle to find a relaxing soothing place and you do it in a calm manner. Thanks for your poem. I look forward to seeing what you make next. Maybe it’s something like this poem or maybe the exact opposite i’m sure it’ll be just as good as this.

Dear Wendy:
I am touched with your poem,”A Poem of Mexico” because its a very unique and lovely poem. I really enjoyed reading your poem I think your repetition of “she waits for the day” in the last stanza made it powerful. It makes it more interesting and easy for people to understand and want to read more like how I did. Two lines that stand out to me is in lines 3&4 of the first stanza “She wants to stay To breath in the unique scent of day”. These line o so well together and enjoyable because of the rhyme and this makes it way more stand out to me because I really like when poems rhyme but not every line like your poem. this poem relates to me because there used to be long period of time that I don’t go back to the Dominican Republic and i will get stuck in the city just like that girl in the poem. Thanks for your poem. I look forward to seeing what you make next because i know that many people will find your past and upcoming pieces relatable to anyone someway somehow.

I love the pictures, Wendy, very nice, really shows your love for Mexico, keep up the good work, can’t wait for your next post!

I agree with Kalina your pictures are so beautiful. I remember going to Puebla only when i was younger, I haven’t visited in quite a long time. About 2 years ago i went to Mexico City and then Michoacán. You visit such beautiful and historic places, and get to learn more about your culture.

Dear Wendy:

I am so touched by your story about the places you love, “Pictures of Mexico” because you just shared what are the parts of Mexico that means the most to you and how it has taught you and helped you so far in your life. Also how you talk about your culture and Represent how you are Mexico in some type of way.

One part of your story that stands out for me is where “Over there you won’t see the roads you see in New York but in their place there is a sand/dirt covered street. “Over there you don’t get judged by the amount of money you owe but you get judged by how much effort you put in and how much you care about your family”. I think this is delightful because you compared how New York, well I mean the united states is so different

Another part that stood out to me is where I peeped through the writing that you really meant every word you said.This stood out for me because you poured your soul out in this.

Your story reminds me of when I was eleven I went DR and I loved how different it was from the city. One time when I was in Dr I went to the River in Santiago and it was so fun, i went with family and friends.

Thanks for your story. I look forward to seeing what you make next, because I really liked how you expressed yourself and should that even tho Mexico is in a bad places because of Trump’s wall and stuff you still go passed that and wrote what you loved about Mexico.

Dear Wendy
I am impressed with your BIO, “Who’s Wendy Rivera” because I loved the determination and confidence you displayed in it.
One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “ am a person who will push myself even more no matter how hard it can get.” I think this is great because it shows how determined you are to overcome any challenges that come your way.
Another sentence that I liked was: “One claim that I strongly disagree with was if I wasn’t going to make it out of college. I strongly disagree with this because I know that I will make it out of college. I am confident that I will make it all the way.” This stood out for me because not many people have this strong of a belief that they will make something happen, these lines really showed off your confidence and willpower, which are both very hard things to have.
I relate to how you feel strongly about education, and agree with your view on it.
Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because your writing is very upbeat and interesting, and I enjoy reading about your point of view on topics.

Dear wendy

I am impressed with your publication that I put as a phrase that my name is the attention is

I am impressed with your publication that I put as a phrase that my name is the attention is You could see yourself In the future but,
You can not predict it But the future
does not
Create itself, you
Create your future

Thanks for your writing. look forward what you write next because this post was nice and i hope your poss another one.

Wendy,
This poem was very good and I think the concept you chose to write about is interesting. We never really remeber all the firsts we’ve had in our life just bits and peices. I especially like the end where you said, “She doesn’t remeber this but her life could have been worse.” It really puts in perspective the hardships we go through. Yes, it may have been a horrible experience but there’s others out there who may be experiencing hardship just as hard or even worse as us. Looking at life through this lenses helps us to see we’re not alone in our trials but to also count the many blessings we have. Here is a poem I think you will like about a girl experiencing different things for the First time. (Sorry the hyperlink wouldn’t work)

I really appreciated this poem and hope to read more things from you.

Your poem was very deep going into so much detail about your life. I liked how it showed the good and bad that can happen in a persons life story. Parts such as when you were cut by a thorn were very engaging because of how you include the smallest thing yet it can have a big effect.
