Hi my name is Nathan Abarca and as you can probably tell I enjoy puns. I am very interested in the wonders of nature. My favorite type of spider is called the "Maratus Volans" also known as the peacock spider (look at gallery to see a picture of the male). I am mainly interested in all different types of marine life. I am hoping to be able to work with different types of animals or working with different types of environments for my future career. I enjoy talking and playing games with my friends.

I’ll Rise with Pride

They will write me down in history
With bitter, twisted lies,
You may push me down into the ground
But with this pride I have, I’ll rise

Does this pride of mine upset you?
Why are you filled with hate?
Because I walk with another man
Embracing him close to my heart.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides
Just like out hopes soaring high with rainbows,
Still I’ll rise

Did you want to see me broken?
With lowered self-esteem and high anxiety?
This mental harm you try to cause to me
I won’t accept this cruelty,
So now I’ll say,
I’ll rise.

What does it mean to be American

The American dream is the idea that each American will get an equal chance at success no matter what their origins are. What I believe to be American is to not be born in America but someone who came to America in whatever way to treat everyone equally because many different people with different cultures come together united to practice their freedoms because there we are all the same creatures who are social animals and communicate with each other. Also we live in a democracy were people get to choose who they want to lead our country.
