Shade Canopies at Basha's becoming hot commodity

In my opinion, this type of buildings will have a good result in our community. There looks really necessary. In the summer the temperatures are so high, and the the interior of the cars gets very hot. You cannot even seat because you you fell it buerns your skin. Now with a shade over your car the sun wont hit it and it wont get that hot. Altohgh it will cost a lot, I think it will be a good deal.

Something that I noticed about me today is that my hair grows to fast. I got my last hair cut like three weeks ago before the school start and now I have it long again. I think it started since I moved here to The Unites States. I do not know why maybe is the food that has a lot of vitamins. I have curly hair and once I have it long I do not like how it looks. Also the way the barber cut my hair is kind of different. Also since I moved I use to cut my hair shorter so I do not have to brush it very often. I will need to cut my hair like every month now on. Here, I do not like to have long hair because of the hot weather in summer. I t makes you swear a lot. But however that is what I noticed about my self this morning.

The plan I came up recently was to do some homework in the lunch time in the Job. I though it was a good plan but it wasn’t at all. First, there is not enough time even to make to do an assignment from the book. Second, there is a lot noise because there are four TVs on. Third, I get a lot of distraction from the coworkers that sometimes invite to sit in their table and enjoy the lunch with them. Last and most important is because I do the homework very fast, I made a lost of mistakes and is not ell done. However, I will keep doing it although I do a little bit. It is better than nothing.

My favorite commercial was on TV in Mexico. This commercial is about a famous kind of soda. It is call “Manzanita Sol” which in English means Apple Sun. First appears a young man in class giving a soda to his teacher in 1960. Then other lady is giving a soda to her teacher in the classroom. It supposes to be in 1970. Then another guy is giving another soda but now in 1980. The same thing happens but in different year, since 1960 to 2000. So the commercial tells you how old and is still one of the most favorites. What I like about the commercial is the background of the classroom. Also the different kind of cloths they used in every decade. They appear wearing the old black jackets from he 70’s and the different color hair from the 90’s. It was one of my best commercial I ever seen.

Dems in Legislature write to Bush opposing surge.
This article is about the Democrats who sent a letter to Bush objection to take more troops to Iraq. They said is a term of lost of lives and money. The war had cost to Arizona more 5.2 million dollars only since September. I think is really true what the Democrats say about the war in Iraq. I do no t have any smart reason why Bush have American soldiers in Iraq. We know that they want to convert Iraq into a Democratic country but besides that there is no other reason. Maybe is true what the people said about the great quantity of oil in Iraq. The reason why America went there was the oil. They want to have the oil. However, I agree that soldiers have to come back home and live on peace forever.

This article is about an airplane called the F-15D Eagle that is used for the war. This fast plane only is used for conflicts goals like war and other missions. The author says that The United States of America is the number one producer of this big machine. What I think is why the government still use a lot of our money producing arms for war. We have a war right now but are not that big. Instead of make better arms; they should spend the money improving the education for young people. America only think how get more territory and how to be the richest country. We are living many things behind us like how to finish with drugs or crime. Also we need to make looks better our cities like in Europe. Also have a solution for the pollution that is destroying our beautiful planet. We need to think more about our future not how to kill our selves.

Once my cousin dared to change the flat tire of his car by my self. We were driving to home in Mexico when suddenly. We noticed the tire blow out and pull off the side out of the road. He had already showed me how to do it but I did not pay much attention and it was something I have never tried. So I started taking out the jack and the tools to take off the flat and install the other one. I was surprise of my self because I did it well after all. But at end my cousin told me that I took long doing that. The hardest part is finding a flat land where you can out the jack. If you do not put it right the car could fall and cause a fatal accident. At the end we got in the car and go home.

I think I am not doing very well in this course. First the homework is very hard to do it when you work on weekdays. We have to do Journals every day and sometimes do essays. When I am in class I cannot do the journals. Also we have to answer the practices from the book in which you spend time copy them to the word. The only thing I have to do is do all the homework on weekends before the week start but is something. I need to spend any free time doing homework or studying so I can do better in college. And I hpe I can pass this class.

The most spectacular I have been in is Mexico City. The city is the biggest all around the world. I went there when I was 10 years old I am still remember how fast the people go from one place to other. The subway is a fast transport that most of the people use. It is call the METRO. Once are you ready to get into, you needed to do it fast because the metro’s doors close in a determined time. Inside, the people are standing unless you find a sit. Most of the time you don’t because is crowded. Is awesome how many cars you can find. The traffic conditions are horrible. The city buses are full and very small. The city is dirty and has lot of pollution. You find people walking on the sidewalks, parks, bus stations, and small stores. Although is a big city it has also many beautiful places like the Chapultepec Castle, The “Vsilica” is a big church where the Virgin Maria is. Also we can visit the “Zocalo” where the President lives. Finally I was not very happy to been in the biggest City in the world.

Soldier’s post card to sweetheart arrives 92 years later.
I cannot believe that the post office could do lost a post card and found it 92 years later. It is impossible. But anyways I do not know why the company still sent the post card to the address. May be they though that the sweetheart would be still alive. They should not send the card. It is like making fun of the soldier. However the soldier is dead and never knew where the post was. Maybe he dead thinking that her sweetheart received the post.

-6 schools lock down after a robbery-
Two men demanded money from two people in the parking lot. I t makes the police to close the 6 school arund it and release the students.
The first reason why this occur is because people here in America are able to use this type of guns.Even a kid can use them with out any permission. This are not real guns but it could be very dangerous if you use them. The goverment should not allow to any people to use arms. If we still using arms, we wil have many more incidents like this. So is u p to the goverment to make a change as soon as possible.

I think my communication skills are the facility to show somebody how to do something or how to fix it. First I was not able to speak English but I fell confident to speak to any person. Sometimes I do not know how to express what I want to say because of my vocabulary. The communication skills are very important because when you meet somebody.

Now on days the opportunity for people who has not gone to University is really poor. You cannot get the job you are expecting to earn money. Also I like to study that way I would be a better person in the society. The Knowledge is a tool that nobody can steal from you. Once you reach your goals you feel that you can compete with any individual who has both, studies and mature. Here in the United States there are a lot of opportunities to all students like me. If you do not have enough money just do your best in college and they will give you scholarships to help you. Other option is to ask for financial aid from your college and if you apply for it you will receive certain amount of money. Once you are taking a degree in science, arts, math, and business etc. you can look for it on line in many Universities webs. If you do not know what how to get money for your studies just visit an advisor an they will help you finding the necessary resources. Only try to study something that you like if you do not do that you would never like to work every day that you have to.

Not really, I have heard that famous people have a lot of stressful times every day and that they do not have a private life. But it could be awesome that all people admire you. Another really good thing is the money. Always is good to have sufficient money to pay your bills and taxes. With these entire positive things I would not like to be a famous person. I prefer that no body know my private life. I would like just have money but that not body know about me except my family and friends.
