A Little Bit Longer

first. Many of these can be quite harmful but, some are bit more harmless. You wouldn’t necessarily be insulted if someone thought you were a college student from the way you looked even though you were in fact a high school student nor would you really be insulted if someone thought you were cold because you were wearing a scarf or jacket. On the other hand being assumed to be a hooligan or bratty child due to the way you act or dress would be a bit more insulting I would imagine. In this way…

eat, to the clothes you wear, or to the way your personality is formed. Culture always has at least a little bit to do with the formation of who you are. It comes in different sizes, ethnicities, and religion. There is no limit to what culture can make in you or the others around you. There was a short text in our SpringBoard books called “By Any Other Name” by Santha Rama Rau. It’s about two little Indian children who go to a public educational system for the first time, and on their first…

entire book book was a little bit of a hassle. While I started reading this book I slowly fell in love with it, because It just gelled with me really easily. I figured out the genre as teen fiction due to the word choice and vocabulary used throughout the book, not super easy, but just hard enough to make you really think. I decided to read this book because of quite a few people recommending it to me, and I have a project on it, so It seemed…

that their only needs are the material ones, when really, a lot of people need moral and spiritual need. My school used to take us to poor daycares on christmas eve, and we would be assigned each one one kid, to whom we would bring a bag of candy, a little lunch bag, and a gift. Although it was a really nice thing to do, and something really special for this kids, it was something we only did once a year. I still remember the day my councilor got into…

I think that my dorm room is a representation of my front-stage behavior. This is the case because although it is my room, I share it with a friend, and although it is our room, we often have other people in it with us. Dorm rooms are a space in which friends can gather for a party, to study together, or even to watch this week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy. It is more of a public space than a private space in which I can be alone. I keep my dorm room in a manner in which I would publically…

On the 16th of August at 9:30 A.M., I had my final mock interview with Mrs. Nancy Ramirez. It was scheduled a week prior at a time I chose myself. The purpose for the mock interview was to help our interviewing skills for the actual interview when we graduate from South Texas Vo-Tech. In all honesty, the final mock interview was fantastic. Mrs. Nancy Ramirez was very professional during this entire interview and also was dressed very professional like an office manager would be dressed. For a…

For me, observing gym class was a tad more difficult due to having to pick my student out among the various students in their uniform. This took me a little bit, but I eventually did locate my student. In gym, since the students were playing volleyball, my student found one and shot it off the bleachers at the beginning. The gym was comprised of two gyms connected with one being larger than the other,…

know for a fact is that my grandmother is perfect. My grandmother is perfect in every way; the way she dresses, the way she moves, the way she behaves, the way she speaks, etcetera. Sometimes, I just think that it could be great, if I could be a little bit of what she is. Her great personality is full of other amazing qualities. I’m going to start by describing the way my grandma looks like. At first sight, if one doesn’t know her like I do, they would say she always wears oldies clothes, bright…

This is also my first time to be a Peer Mentor, so I got super excited. However, everything is not like what it seems. When I first received my cohort assignment email said that I would be a Peer Mentor for IESL level 1 and 2, I honestly got a little bit panic. I acknowledge that it might be hard for me to communicate with my future mentees since their English is still improving; especially, it would be more difficult if I have mentees whose first language is different from mine. Furthermore,…

The Ransom of Little Lola Lola was just playing outside a mile away from her house in the woods by this pond, singing and humming to Shower by Becky G her favorite song. You could hear the birds chirping, the wind screaming, all the animals talking, and Lola singing her song. Then all of a sudden she stopped singing, she only saw black, and could barely breath. All you could hear is her breathing heavily, the rest of the woods where total silence. For a second she thought she had passed out but…
