Free: Write about whatever you like.

My daugther's birthday was last Friday, and I was able to take her to Disneyland to celebrate it.
I feel very happy for her, because she really enjoyed the trip. I know that this is going to be an unforgettable memory for her, moreover maybe one day she will be able to do same for her own kids. Her little face full of enjoyment, amazement for the adventure that she was going thru, happiness just for being in that place, are expressions that will always be with me as well. Every birthday of hers is a date of happiness and sadness for me because I feel that my baby some how is getting apart from me. She is growing and as she grows she will start living her own life. That is why now, I try to enjoy the most of her that I can , because I know that one day whether I like or not I am going to have to let her and be on her own. I make sure that every single day I tell her how much I love her and all what she means to me.

How’s it going so far in this course? Write about what you’ve liked and disliked so far. What’s changed since the last time you wrote about the course?

Things in this course so far haven't really changed much since the last time I wrote about it. The thing that I have like during this course is working with thw computer, because even though I don't like them I need to learn more about them. I need to work on my computer skills, so that I can get a bettter job. On the other hand, I haven't really like the learning process on this class. I am more of a person to person contact, and when I am working on an assigment I like to ask the teacher right away. For me e-mail or phone calls don't work as good as having the teacher in person. Unfortunately, I don't have the time that I will like to have after class to meet with the teacher. I think that everybody in general in this course would have benefited a little bit more if we would have worked during class time in our assigments. Some times somebody else understands better what I don't and I can seek for help.

English Language

It is really interesting knowing from where the Englihs language comes from. I never have thought that this language developed in England from a West Gernamnic language. I better start working on perfecting my skills on this language, because like how it is stated on the article it is considered by many to become the first worlds universal language. Besides that, English Language is really prominent on many professional fields such as, communications, science,business, aviation, enterrainment, diplomacy, and Internet. I am glad t hat at least for now I know tha basics of this language, however I need to learn more about it. For a person like me that wants to continue with a college career, knowing this language is real essential.

Smoking ban

I like thhis new law about prohibiting smoking in public places. I hate the smell of cigarretes maybe, because since I was a little child the smell of smoking has been around me. I love the idea that no matter to which public place I go to I will be relief to know that I won't find somebody smoking. My dad has been a smoker since his earlie years, and his preference for cigarretes had makedme to dislike everything related with them. My family efforts to courage him to stop smoking haven't worked. I feel sorry for him because of this law, but our health is more important than smokers like him having the priviledge to smoke where ever they want.

Write about something you’ve recently learned how to do.

One of the things that I have recently learned how to do is on how to write different kinds of essays. During this course I learned how to write effect and cause essay, classification essay, reaction essay. I also have learned about my self. For instance, I did notice that I don't like to write, but if the subject interest me I would have a lot to write about. Concentrating also helps, if I am on a nice and relaxing enviroment I will actually have fun find writing an essay. Another thing that I have learned how to do during this semester, is how to manage my time to get done my homeworks. This semester was my introduction to college world, so I had a lot to learn.

WikiJournal:Hurricane Edith (1971)

It's nice to read about some historical events; however it's sad to learn about the disasters and death os caused by them. By reading this article, I learned that this huricane was one of the most strongest on the 70's. What got into my attetion is that this hurricane only developed from a tropical wave. From being just a wave it transformed into a hurricane ,which started at the Carribean Sea and went all the way up to Louissiana. Thanks God it did't killed that many people like Hurricane Katrina, but still some deaths resulted from it's strenght. I have always been afraid of the sea; therefore, after reading articles like this one my fear for the sea increases.
I don't even like to go to the beach, nor the pools.

AZ Central current event journal:An ASU student may face deportation after traffic stop

Personally, I don't agree with the new rule of the policy department working together with immigration. I believed that each branch/department should worry about their own tasks and accomplishing them. In that case why should we pay immigration if the police will be doing part of their job. I am totally against this new rule, policy, or what ever goverment want to called it. I feel sorry for this ASU student who is only twenty and going by what one of his ex-teachers said he is also a great student. He graduated from high school with 20 college credits and he never missed a day from school; however, none of his achievements matter because now he is going to be deported. After, police only could cited him for underage drinking becuse his blood-alcohol content was of 0.02 they reported him to immigration. This is an unfais act, Manuel which is his name, is not a threat to society. I know that this is a real controversial subject for discussion, yet I don't agree with it.
