My Goal

I did a research online about careers that suggested from the web page Eureka. Thereafter I chose one that goes with my personalit. I will talk about the career I am interested in. To become a school counselor is one of the three chioces I picked since I decided to continue with my educatio.The three choices I chose are business administration, accounting, and school counselor. Counsiling is the career I am more interested on. I think I possess the characteristics and potential to achieve that career.

I am very nurturing and supporting person. I am highly creative person; I like dealing with people and I love to encourage others. Making a difference is one of the goals I focus on most. I am a realistic person; I value honesty and authenticity. I am an open person when it comes to hearing what others have to say. I am an easy person to get to know and I get along effortlessly with others.

Fist of all I need to do my general education, which requieres forty units for an AA degree and then sixty units to be trasferrable to any University. To accomplish that goal, it will take about two years here at college of the desert and afterwards, two more years in a University to get a bachelor's degree. It is reasonable, but due to the responsabilities I have it may be a little harder. So far I am on the right path. Of coures, there will be obstacles along the way. To keep walking on a straight line until I reach my goal won't be easy, it is not impossible either. What motivates me is that I am not alone.

I am sure I would enjoy being a school counselor. Pay wise, could be better, otherwise all aspects are agreeable in this career. I conceive myself helping others to focus on their goals, or to motivate others to work harder to achieve their goals. I am sure I can become a good example to other students, to encourage them that anything is possible. A bachelor's degree will definitely open a lot more doors for me than being a non-degree individual. Most of the aspects about this career are worhty, such as goverment benefits, besides providing help to students that need to be nurtured.

I think the web page Eureka suggested this career for me because the personality discribed as a blue color is compatible to the characteristics require for a school counselor. I like to demonstrate compassion to others and I am a reliable person. I definitely identify myself with the charcteristics Eureka discribed in both colors blue and yellow. I possess empathy, patience, courage, enthusiasm and I like to show concern for others. Ater I did my research I felt more inspired to pursue that goal because I like the idea of working to inspire other students.

The ying is the movement and the yang is the pause. Female yang and male ying.

Neat People and Sloppy People

This is a paragraph about differnt persanalities and characteristics between neat people and sloppy people. Neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people.Sloppy people tend to let everything to be done at the last minute while neat people preoccupied about getting it done when it has to be done. Sloppy peole live in a never-never land and they can't bear to part of anything and neat peole operate in two unvarying principles, never handle anything twice and throw everything away.

I think sloppy people are the ones that hardly ever success in life due to their undecisiveness, neat people do become successful for being more productive and alert to everything that sorounds them.

Indy 500

This essay is about the different driving style between a mother and a son.Their driving style is the opposite to one another. The son feels a lot safer when he is behind the wheel than riding. a car with his mom. Apparently she's a manace on the road.

I wouln't like to ride in a car with a crazy driver as that person, for the reason of my own safe. Due to those unsafe drivers there's more accidents on the roads everyday.

Happy Returns

Happy returns discusses about how insultive it can be when returning a gift. People often do it becuase they probably don't get what they had expected. It is hard to guess wether people will like or dislike a gift.

When giving I gift try not to get something you do like for yourself instead think of what that person could probably like.

Hey Mr. Beaner

Discrimination is a topic I do not like to talk about since I have been discriminated against. I had a bad experience at a jobsite where I used to work. I used to work at a stone-works company, granite and marble fabrication and installation. I was in charge of production. “Field-Supervisor” was my job title.
It was one of those regular routine days, nothing special about it, but I was happy because it was Friday. Who does not like Fridays? Better yet, if it was “payday”. I was in a really good mood, but I had no idea what my day was going to be like. I arrived at work as usual, 7:00 am, everything was supposed to be as smooth as a baby’s bottom instead it turned as rough as a grandpa’s hands. I had complied with the company’s policy, (call the customers or contact person a day before to confirm the appointment). I knew the contractors we were doing the job for they often hired the company for stone-works. They both seem to be so nice, especially the lady. I acknowledge she was a very respectful person, the man however was different. I found that out when he made me lived the worst experience of my life. It was back in 2006. I do not remember the exact date, but I know it was when Hispanic people were being called through radio stations to support the “day without a Latin.” A day before I called the lady to confirm the appointment. She said nicely, “I will be expecting you tomorrow.” Since the “day without a Latin” was going on, very few people showed up to work, only the ones that promised to. I sent two guys to the jobsite. When they got at the property I found out that the lady was not going to be able to be there. She had called and left a message saying. “I had to run out somewhere else, but my husband will be there.” In that instant, everything was okay, but when the guys started unloading their tools and stepped into the house. It could have been better to trip and fall down, landing on their nose. They were about to have the worst experience of their lives. This contractor did not allow them to keep walking in. He insulted them, saying.”What are you Mexicans doing here? Go back to your country.” “What the f-word, get the f-word out of here!!!” He had no mercy.
Apparently, he was so furious because other Hispanic workers did not show up to work. Why did he blame us? We were there following our commitment. He was such a irritating fool. I had another perspective about that contractor because I had previously worked with him. When the guys called me I rushed to be there quickly. I thought I would handle the situation, but I was wrong. I was treated as bad as they were. I was so angry I had no doubt of punching him right between his eyes. Because of the company’s ethics, I could not respond to the way he treated us, besides that I was more professional than he was.
We were humiliated and treated like bulls in Spain, then kicked out of the house like a soccer ball. We had no other alternative than loading back the tools and abandon the property, we said, “Vuelve el perro arrepentido, con la cola entre las patas y las orejas caidas,” which means. “Here comes the dog back with its tail between its rear legs and droopy ears.” We consoled each other we raised up our heads and drove away with pride. It was really sad being treated that way. He definitely went over the limit. It did not end there. I knew the job was on the schedule to be done, so I had to call his wife to let her know we were not allowed to work. Soon after he called, who knows what he went through with her, but the job was supposed to be finished that particular day. He called me to apologize about his behavior and whatever else he had said, but he needed us back to do the work. I said, “No way, who do you think you are? First you treated us like criminals and kicked us out like animals, then you are asking us to go back to do the work.” I said, “shame on you, we have dignity.” He did not give up. He called the owner of the company directly. He tried to somehow get us back to the jobsite. By then my boss knew everything about what had happened. My boss called right after they hung up and he said. “I am not calling to compel you guys to go back today, but to let you know that I support your decision, do what you think is right.” Finally, with dignity and self esteem, we refused to go back. He had no alternative than waiting until the following week. When we went back, with a noticeable angry face, he treated us better, of course, whining around for this, and that, and little things here, and there, but other than that, he did not aggravate us anymore.
He might have changed his attitude, but I doubt he changed his perspective about Latinos. The hypocritical look on his face was obvious, although, we can never please everybody. One thing I have learned is that what goes around comes around. I do not wish for him to be discriminated against, but I always say, “Never do what you would not like others to do to you.”

Homosexuals,should they adopt children? Definitely Not!

Homosexuality continues to be very controversial worldwide. In this era, homosexuality has become more normal and more accepted by most of human beings with the exception of giving them the right to adopt children. How can two people of the same sex become parents? The big-question is, “Should they have the right to adopt children?” Many people would reply with a big-no, homosexuals do not consider giving up an option. For centuries, gays have been fighting to be accepted in the society, as time has elapsed they have seen more acceptance, the more acceptance gays acquired, the more freedom gays prevail and gives them more strength to being able to come out of the closet, especially those that are afraid to be criticized for such sexual orientation.
The gay population is indeed expanding around the world, but how normal will it be for children to grow up in such custody? Heterosexual people have strongly supported the government to ban every law that could give gay and lesbians the right to adopt children. As long as the opponents keep denying homosexuals the right to become fathers or mothers of a child, no matter what they do, it won’t be granted. Say no to laws that support to adopt children by gays. Gays should not be allowed to adopt children.
Based on an online research, lesbians and gay men are more likely to molest children. Studies indicate that children in a homosexual household are four times more likely to identify as homosexual or get involved in homosexual behavior than children raised in single-parent households. Since 1997 when Anita Bryant led a statewide campaign to over-turn Dade’s county gay rights law. The law has been challenge several times, but has not been overturned and remains on the books today. People will remain in opposition to such laws. Currently, Florida specifically bans gay and lesbians from adoption. Six other states around the country have also currently considered bans on gay and lesbians foster care and/or adoption parents, those states are Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah.
As heterosexual people protest against gay people to adopt children, others devote their support towards them. Scientists experiment on how likely children’s behavior, learning abilities, stability, lifestyle, and sexual developments are in comparison of both sides, heterosexual and gay parents. It has been proved that children are more likely to grow up with a father and mother’s influence than those in gay homes. There has been lots of debating, striking, and fights against homosexual rights, but future-wise, who knows who will then win the battle or the war. Religious people are the only ones who will never accept homosexuality. The Bible fifth commandment says, “Honor thy father and thy mother,” but there is no amendment that says, “Honor thy father and thy father,” or “Honor thy mother and thy mother.”
My humble opinion about gay people adopting children, without being disrespectful, is that it is not logical, is awkward. I think a child needs to be raised and nurtured by a father and a mother. Every child deserves the warmth and shelter of a family, but that is not the proper way to provide those needs. There are lots of associations around the country that care about those children. How can we lead our children towards the future? Imagine what the future will become by devoting support to children adoption by gays. It sounds irrational. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unattended, abandoned, unfortunate children, due to parent’s unresponsiveness. We do not live in a perfect world, but I dot not support such a law.

Dogs and Cats

Dogs and cats are been the only two animals that have made it inside the house. Their both carnivores. They both can be trained and and become obidiently. Both animals have in common to become friends with people, better than they are with each other.

It was a good story to read about because people have experienced both animals attitudes and they compare them equally. Personlly I don't like either of them, but I respect people's likes.

Good Girl, Bad Girl

Two girls that have different characteristics. The bad girl is selfish,clever and manipulating. The good girl is direct,trustworthy,kind and naive. The bad girl always under-estimate the good girl while the good girl cherish their friendship and talks good tings about her. The bad girl shows no simpathy to her friend.

I think that with a friend like the bad girl you don't want to make enemies,one like her is enough. I think it was not a good story to read about due to the bad friendship. A person like the bad girl deserves to have no friends. Like they say, "You don't know what you got until is all gone."

The Ravine

A narrow canal that was located in the back yard,which separated Scott's home from farmland.Taht was the place where Scott, his bother and cousins spent most of their free time.They used to play there from spring to summer and then autumn.It might've been a great place to play and have fun. He has not forget that u-shape crevasse,which was affectionately name the ravine.

I think most of people had a favorite place where they spent lots of time having fun with family members or friends in their chilhood.I did have a favorite place,too.Our childhood is something we should always remember because that's how we know who we were and how we get to were we are.

My view of sports

Sports have a significant influence among people,especially in youths and teenagers.If parents encourage their children to get involved in sports,they grow up healthy, smart,with positive thought,good self confidence and they can become better individuals.From my own experience, I can talk about soccer, wich is the sport I have love to play since I was little.I am still a soccer player.I am currrently playing in the Coachella City League with a local team.I enjoy every game I play,especially when we take victory.Sometimes you cannot describe the emotions of winnig a game,it is maeningful.It also makes the team become a strong opponent by winnig most of the games.

Football,it is a sport I love to watch and I am a big fan of the San Diego Chargers.Go Chargers,or how about? "Charger it up and have a lighting day," those are expressions that come out from my heart every time time they play.As Ialways say,win or lose I am still a fan of the team.What I like about sports is that famous players become heroes,or role models in some cases.Some of them support schools or programs that encourage kids and teens to stay focused on their education, and to ge involved in sports.A great factor about sports is that they bring people together from the intire planet.Another sport that has great influence on me is boxing.

How about,Manny Paquiao,who recently fought and took victory against Joshua Clottey? It was a great evening on Saturday,March 13,to watch that match up. Lots of bets and millions of dollars were involved in that fight.The excitement and the adrenaline of watching every single round Manny took was amazing.A lot of people thought that Clottey would be the one who could to stop rhe Pac-Man,which is Manny's nickname,but he proved he is the best.A lot of kids from aroun the world might dream to become someone like those famous boxers.The fact is that sports do change people's lives.They can help teens to stay away from bad habits.Sports help to discover talents,to gather good energy,to stay healthy and to be in a goood shape.

I cannot imagine the world without sports.I think it would be boring living in such world.My perspective about sports is that in someway they can help to avoid teens to get involved in gangs.A great factor about sports is that language,cultures,or apearances do not matter when it comes to face an opponent,all you see in their eyes is fury and hanger of victory. Sports definitely have a graet influence on people.

The Hiroshima Museum

The Hiroshima Museum is the place that preserves distant memories of what happened in Japon when the atomic bomb was dropped in 1944. It marked people's lives with suffering pain, anger, and apprehension toward the future. Oshita-Chan was a victim who's life was taken for no reason.The watch represents the time the atomic bomb was dropped,8:15am.

I wouldn't liked to live yet when all that happened. It mitght've been tough to exist during those days in WWII.

the perfect dog

Shaun the perfect dog,one of a kind.A well trained dog which would follow any command.A very clean dog and fun to be his master.John, whose owner would always have confidence that shaun would never lead him into hazard.Shaun liked to gaze out the window when riding in the car with his master.He used to dive and merge into the lake without putting himself in danger.

Shaun might been a perfect dog for John, but since I don't like dogs at all, to me that dog is just another animal with a happy owner.

old apartment

It is not easy to forget that old apartment my family and I lived in for many years. It was old and smelly, there were lots of roaches. A lot of times I woke up in the middle of the night to drink water. Every time I turned on the lights, there were lots of roaches running away desperate to hide somewhere. the apartment was torn up; the interior color was pink, there were broken windows, cabinets falling apart, and even worse, there was no air conditioning. it had a small cooler, which didn't cool the apartment at all. It was like having a heater on. the smell of the humidity was awful an suffocating. We were better off without that cooler on. The noise it made was disturbing and annoying.

The owner never cared about maintenance, but he was there for sure every first of the month to collect the rent. He was as old as his ugly pink apartments. This apartment was small, two rooms, one bath, a small kitchen and living room. It was was not comfortable living there, but as a child I did not cared about comfort. Ten people lived there. Those ten people were my extended family. To use the bathroom we had to get in line. Everyday after five, when everyone was back home, the television and radio were on aloud. It was a noisy place, especially on Fridays; "payday." They used to throw parties. They loved to grill delicious carne asada and drink lots of beer. Impossible to forget the smell and taste of carne asada wrapped in flower or corn tortillas

I used to like to live there because school was a few minutes from there, otherwise I disliked that place. I always preferred visiting my friends instead of staying home. In the winter when it rained, it was ugly; flooded and muddy all over. It was a ghetto, and very unpleasant living there, but it fortified my dreams to work hard to avoid living in a place like that after high school. Since we moved out of there, I worked to afford renting a cleaner place in a nicer neighborhooh. I have driven by the area to see if those apartment are still standing there, unfortunately, they are. The neighbors next door are still living there, unbelieveable! I will never forget that old aparment I lived in. Right after high school I got married, I rented a beautiful and clean apartment. In 2004 I bought my own house, then In 2006 I bought a second home, and now I just remember those days of my chilhood.
