A Little Bit

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,…

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…

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…

step is harder. Denny looks abject: “Aldrich, I need to rest. My legs are tired from walking in the high snow and I can't feel my hands anymore.” Aldrich trys to placate Danny: “ See, over there is a little cabin and I cann see lights in the windows. Lets go over there and ask if we can rest a little bit.” They knock at the door and a lady of middle age opens the door. “Hey, how can I help you?”, does she ask in a decorous manner. Aldrich says:” I think we went the wrong way and we need to…

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…

Last week I was given the chance of watching the Red Hat Crew's production of Chains. This production was set in New York during the revolutionary times. The main character Isabel and her little sister Ruth are sold to the Lockton family, and they are struggling to fight for their freedom. After Ruth is "sold", Isabel is able to escape, rescue her friend Curzon, and they safely make it across "River Jordan". Before watching this production, I was able to read the written book. I feel that it…

remember checking schoology non-stop after every assignment, studying for hours on end, and working on homework until I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer. I pushed myself because I believed that I could get my grade up to an A if I just worked a little harder. After a couple tests I checked my grade and it was an 87 and I knew I had enough time to get it up to an A. It’s like a marathon, you work hard all the way through and even when you feel burnt out you still push yourself and just keep…

my loving mother, but my father had died two months ago to cancer, and it was hard carrying on. My little sister in particular, had a special bond with him. She hadn’t been the same since. So I had become the man of the house, and was trying to keep everyone going morale wise. I was walking home. It was a Tuesday. My mother had called me home from school saying it was an emergency. I was a little rushed, slightly worried, so I was at a fast…

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…

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…
