trusting and family


                F is for father, a is for and, m is for mother, and i.l.y means I love you; father and mother I love you. This words put together means family and the heart of the family are your parents. Our parents are the ones who lead us to the path way to learning the basic principles of life. For example, before anything put your family in front, because always at the end they are the only ones who are there for you.  If people took the time to really think about it the only true friends are the friend that you consider to be part of your family, but you just happen to call them best friends. Moreover, anyone that you   trust and love is already part of you, it does not t have to be a blood member. The main point of a family is to love and to take trust.
                The number one issues that all family have is that the trust is not there. It especially affects families with teenager in their development. I supposed that the teenage years are the years where we are more intellectually deficient.  So, I do not blame the parents for not trusting their sons and daughters; I mean they where teenagers in their life also so they know the book of the teenage years.  However, is all mental the fact that the parents do not trust them and block stuff for their teens. Makes the teen to want to break the law; but, also the fact of giving them too much freedom makes the teen feel like an adult; Giving them the idea that they are smart enough to handle anything. So what to do? I would say to talk to their children and giving them that mentality that they need them and they are there for them. Moreover, at the same time don’t block them from the world because, one way or another they will break the rules, mainly because parents cannot be there on their every move. So, in either word give them enough freedom to go out so that they have no temptation to break the rules. So the keys word to avoiding any problems is trust.
                In conclusion if a family learns to trust that family would be the perfect family, because the hardest thing in the human kind is trusting. I mean look at us today; we have wars everywhere.

a student in my class

http://cristiangarcia49.blogspot.com/            Just another student from my English 101 class; when I interviewed him he was quiet, but I still managed to get a pretty good amount of information about him. First of all and most importantly I found out that his name is Alex Barrera. He has a simple background good family and young parents. Just like many other people he plans to attend and finish college and what motivates him the most are his parents. Moreover, his parent didn’t attend college so he plans on perfecting himself to have a better life. His motivation has great inspiration on him; manages to hold a part time and attend school at the same time. Which such a tough schedule to handle he manages to still spend time with family due to the fact that he considers Oxnard to have a flexible schedule which he likes. Even though he doesn’t consider himself as a role model he does have his parents as his role model. In ten to five years he plans on being graduated from college and have a job that he can be proud of and most importantly his parents can be proud of.   For him the biggest surprised about college are the new people his meeting every day.

Texting in our lives

                Ever since texting was invented on 1995, it has quickly been growing. Now for this new generation’s texting turn into part of their everyday’s life. It’s a way to maintained each other updated, in contact, and even for business. There are ups and down for texting; it could lead to serious accident. Moreover, about 6,000 people have die by using their phone and about 800,000 people were injured do to the fact that they text and drive at the same time. In additional to that texting also leads to sleep deprivation, people who stay up texting late at night may have serious effect in the future with their sleeping. This is mostly seen on people from 15 to 25.  
                However, the up sides about texting are that it keeps you in contact with your love ones no matter where they are. Moreover, texting has been the number one way to find a girl friend or a boy friend. To explain, when a guys or girls manage to get his or hers number the way to tell them to hang out or talk to them is through texting. Now at these days texting is even used for business to stay updated with everything around you. Finally, it seem like texting is pretty much part of our life now.

Americans Entertainment

          I am not much of a TV person I usually spend my time doing something else, but when I have the time for it I watch whatever comes up. Moreover, I usually watch cartoons like South Park, family guy, or SpongeBob (yes SpongeBob). However, some lucky days; I guess, I happen to stumbled across reality shows like 16 and pregnant, jersey shore, anything that comes out on MTV.  MTV the house of music not turned into the house of drama, or reality shows which ever you preferred.  I have to admit they are mind catching shows, once you start watching them is like your mind has been glued on the show. So, if you have something important to do not even start watching the show because, you would not get yourself off the couch. I personally, do not try to avoid the reality shows I just do not happen to watch them, but I believe that America is famous for the drama they can create over such things and that is how America is entertained with the drama off other people. It plays a vital part of Americans as well as many other countries civilization. I would say that we are all dumb to even like this shows, but hey I am dumb too. Furthermore, we do not benefit from this kind of shows all we get is a head full off stupidity that do not concern us. It sometime makes me wonder what kind of world do we live in where we enjoyed other people stupidity an suffering this is why we are killing our selves.
                Even though I think this shows are stupid I am certainly pleased by them also. Well sometimes, but anyways this do and do not harm our society. For examples, some reality shows like sixteen and pregnant actually help our society by explaining the life of other and what could happen if you ever commit that one error that could change your life; forever and ever and ever and ever ( million more ever). However, their also the shows that increase your stupidity like Jersey Shore. Sure, I admit it too I think it is kind of a cool show, but all it does is showing us how to drink, and party. We don not get anything from it that deducts our ignorance. However, it makes us do what we should not be doing like fighting, drinking, cheating and even going to prison. I guess everything has their goods and bad and reality shows are not the exceptions. Maybe, some day America will learn a different way to entertained them self, but until that they we all have to be united and be a part of them. So, let’s all get stupid or smart which ever show you are watching and be entertained.

fast food on me

Since I can remember I started having fast food until I was like 8 when I came to the U.S.A. In Mexico fast food is not a big deal because, everybody likes to have homemade food, or maybe they are not economically good to be able to have it. I was place in both categories we did not have money to have it and I rather have my grammas awesome homemade food. Moreover I did not even know what a hamburger was until I came to American lands; the only thing I had in my taste buds where tacos, pozole, beans, ect. The first time that I tried I remember that I threw out a big yuck for some reason I did not like fast food, but it change over time. But the only reason why I did not like it was because, a hamburger was the first thing that I tried and I did not like the pickles at all. Till this days I still hate pickles with all my heart their as nasty as mixing water with oil and drinking it yuck. After me and my family tried it for the first time my mom got bossed with she even gain a few pounds not much, but she did. She used to take us every single time she had a chance off course I did not ask for anything because, I was still traumatized by the pickles. It was until a few years later when I was like 14 when my brother was turning 4 that I started liking the fast food, but still hated the pickles.  
My brother influenced me into the fast food world because, he loved it and we took him every time he asks for it and one time we went to toppers and that’s when it happened. It was like a light strike me from heaven and made me fall in love with pizza. Moreover, I even gain a few pounds or should I say a lot pounds. Fast food got me overweight and as you see me today you would not think I was but that’s because, I tried to eat healthy now and exercise. Now because, being overweight sucks I put fast food as an occasionally thing. I would say that I eat fast food like once a month besides I love my mom’s food and plus it is made with love and in fast food you do not even know who makes it. As good as fast food can be ( except for pickles) it can also be a harm for your body so now I put a step down to influence my family to try and eat more healthy so my brother won’t have the same problems as me which are beginning to show now. The only good thing about fast food is that it feels up your tummy, but the great thing is that some fast food are actually good for example subway and that’s my routine on fast food now if I feel hungry and I have no food at home, or I am too lazy to make some ( I am) I go to subway. It keeps me full and healthy; so, eat fast food just not too much because that tummy maybe go up and never comeback down.

as my present turns into pass and my future turns into present

                10/27/1992 the day that I was giving birth, I do not have a clear view of what life is about, sometimes I feel like I just go through life like a leaf that felt in the river and is being sweep away by the rivers current. An as was being sweep I encounter rocks on the way. For example, the day I found out that we were leaving Mexico to come to the U.S.A was the hardest thing that ever crossed my ears. I was introduced to a whole different world that I had to try to adapt too. As I tried to adapt to my new life I was introduced into Cristian’s world or at least that’s what I called that place in my head, where I zoom out to be alone. Every time I zoom out into my world I drew and that’s where I learn that skill that I now posses and I’m trying to master. I loved to draw people an anything that I find emotional too me. Besides drawing since I was 6 I played soccer because, is the sport where I feel free and I forget the outside world and it just a sport that also helps me go into cristian’s world.
                Now in present day I am still riding those rivers current I have no idea what I want to do with my life. Moreover, I’m just doing what I think is best for me right now I believed if I do that in the future something good must come out. Now presently I attend Oxnard College and work at the fields I try to do my best in college but I need the money too so it’s something that I need to work out. Now that I graduated high school I hardly play soccer not because I don’t want too, but because I have no time. The good thing is that I still draw and when I draw; My mind frees itself and trap emotions are left in every single shade I put on paper.
                I would like to talk about my future but my future is blank, and all I can say is that I am trying my hardest to find out what I want 10,20,30,40, or even a hundred years from now. All I have to say that as my present turns into pass, and my future turns into present, I will be learning the true meaning of life.  I feel like I’m not the only person that is dealing with this but this is the rocks that we all encounter on the river. Sorry I didn’t talk about my future, but my future is blank.
