[RE] Jazmin Bravo[RE] Justin:My Life

Looking at all these blogs I saw Jazmin’s response to Justin’s blog about some issues that I now see that most people have being a big issue in the world towards children. The fact of people having kids when they are not surely ready for the responsibility it brings fourth. As I have seen there are many of us who grow up with out one parent and at times with out both. This really messes with our head. We tend to have more problems than other kids with there parents. We may not see it at times but they are there. I have grown up with my dad. The whole story about how my dad left my mom is too long and complicated. I keep finding out new part basically every 2 months. I t is painful to hear all this because it was not all a mutual separation as it was for Justin and Jazmin. This story hurts my mom everyday and sometimes I go to sleep crying for it. He did not die it just a rejection from my dad toward my mom, brother and me. My mom lucky found a new man in her life, my step-dad, however, it is hard for me to call him dad or have a father daughter relationship with him. However, all this as Justin said, 

"this situation made me who I am today"

For everything that happened to us in the past and recent past we have come to learn something. I may not know what exactly but we can tell by the decisions  we make today and tomorrow. 

[CE]Nasa and Their Plans

WHAT??? ASTONISHING!  For me this is just amazing news. I am a total science lover. I always watch documentaries about the beginnings of the study of outer space and such. The fact about humans having the knowledge enough to reach the moon was mind blowing. Now I am hearing about NASA now able to send humans to Mars. This gets me so sicked! I want to be a part of this in some way. I can be a volunteer astronaut! Just imagine all the possibilities of what this will bring fourth. We, the human population, can now extend our population to Mars territory. Well only if it has a way for human to live upon as if on earth. I imagine this being like the show, Futurama, with populations living in other planets with built in colonies. The president does not have to tell us to dream bigger to go bigger. That should come like a second nature.
Now think bigger! Do you think that if we, earthlings, at a slow pace made this happen how can't other organisms not be as smart or smarter than us with technology. I am a strong believer that we are not the only ones out there. There are so many stars and many more planets rotating around them. We can not be the only planet out there with living smart evolved organisms. So if we are just being able to travel to the neighboring planet, those neighboring planets could also have intelligent organisms traveling at a greater speed than us now. IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES!!! I do not mind the money we have to spend because we could be finding something that could help our population or even better all the Earth. Take it in and imagine the great possibilities. We can expand our knowledge of the unknown outer space and thus helping us expand our knowledge of everything else.

[RE] Great Essay

After listening to Adam Redfield read his UC statement like a really brave warrior. I was amazed. Literally I was speechless. It was great and it made me wonder. When he said,

To suddenly be self-aware, to mentally realize that I've been living the "ignorance is bliss" lifestyle truly upset me. My hunger for knowledge of the how and why grew insatiable.

That really started me. I saw what he was explaining to the reader. His point made me think of my iPod and phone. Like how are we able to adapt to them so quickly with out ever wondering how it works. It is like breathing in an interestingly smelly area with out even wondering if it could be harmful to our lungs. Also when he stated,

I feel the drive to create a computer or program so mind boggling that it will, in itself, inspire a whole new generation to ask the questions, how and why.

this is like saying that he wants to be one of those ingenious computer scientists that made some mind bobbling programs like the ones on futuristic movies. Thinking of all this makes me say that he really wants to make something of himself in this world. Someone that will create big things and improve the way we see and go about in the world with.  

Even thought this Essay makes me see all this all I sstill see 2 problems to deal with. The main one is about the issues with connecting it being something that college needs to be apart of. He talks a lot about being a computer scientist however this essay is for a college admission person to read and see if this person is a good match for thier school. He needs to add more about how school can help him learn what he cannot learn from anywhere else. Also the second problem is about going off track where he talks about him used to want to become a therapist. That is good to know but still there is no point in telling them this. It makes them think that he is not really set on what he wants to study in life. Over all it is very good. Great job! That is all I want to say about this.

[FREE]The Senior Year Stress

Senior year, the last year. We get excited just thinking we will graduate soon. The thoughts of leaving the side of our parents because it is time to spread our wings and fly. However, just as birds we also get afraid to take the leap. Just moments away from being up next to jump the nest, stress becomes our best-friend. The stress of looking for a suitable college, applying, finding the money to pay for it, and more clog our brain. The brain can no longer function as well. We try to find people to open up and hope to find the helping hand we need however, it is not so easy to do. The only way to deal with ht e stress we lean on our friends who are also struggling with the same issues. Focusing on college is not the only thing. We still have the issues keeping up a good GPA and not fall into the arms of slacking off and thinking that we have nothing to worry about but have fun. However, these are just the first steps we take to open those wings to their full extent and be set to keep soaring through the sky.  This does not mean we have to take cation in the things we do and do not do. We can still have fun because, hey, we are seniors! However, there is a but in this situation. We have think about the future more because the decisions we take now we will shape our lives into what it can and cannot be. We should not be scared to take plunge because we have all met others who have experienced the college life and others. They have all taught us something from the good and bad choices they have made.

[ESSAY] UC Essay

The medical fields brings up a lot of interest to me. The facts of how life inside bodies work such as how some little cell's shape can change everything. However, if you ask me to do surgery on a body. I might just faint. I might not be able to be behind the surgical mask but I would love to be the one helping surgeon through medical illustrations.

My passion for art has been with me since I was able to hold a writing utensil. At first when looking for a major I thought about art as a full career. However, the income is lower than the bar I set up for myself. Biology has different areas to go into as a career. Now a days looking for a major to focus on the things I like the most, art and biology. A medical illustrator requires to major/minor in both art and biology leading it to fit me as a glove.This job has a good salary too. My mind very is set on what I want to major and minor in.

I have grown up in a family where family comes first and everything else is second. This has very likely shaped the decisions I made. The urge to help my family out of poverty has been my goal since the day I realized the cold true about our financial issues. My grandparents still work day and night and they are almost senior citizens just to pay rent and medical purposes. My mom barely works and we receive welfare money. All this is insufficient for us because we are never really content during holidays because we have to spend money we do not have. Loving my family with all my guts I want to be able to have a career that provides enough money for them to live worry free and for me to live comfortably happy.

Since my family and myself are always measuring our expenses we never get to travel. Traveling for pleasure was not part of our life. Knowing that their is a world out their with different cultures and geographies, I want to be a part of  it and see how I can apply it in my everyday life. I would love to take my family out the borders they have set around our home to relax, take in the different cultures, and learn from the people inhabiting the area. I want my career to help me in these aspects in such way that it can be something used not just in the United States but all over the world. The one major common aspect of this world are humans and all humans need medical attention. Being a medical illustrator, jobs are found everywhere.

Dreams come from anywhere, all ranging in size. However, my dreams tie in with the dreams of my grandparents. Seeing that they are still dreaming and they are going nowhere but to the grave. Helping them achieve it before they are gone is my main dream/goal. Knowing that I can be the helping hand through a hard time is better than having anything else. Helping them own that ranch they always wanted with animals ans several plants, would make me as content as any one can be. My next steps are to be a part of a  good college, graduate school and then find a job. My mind is set, the only missing pieces are the schools and the job.    

Current Event: Drunken Moose

What is the deal with animals these days? Since when do they get drunk? Those were the first thoughts that rushed through my mind when I saw this article about a drunken moose who "supposedly" ended up stuck in a tree. I do not think he dared himself to get to the top of the tree. First of all it was a rainy day windy day where ever they found this moose. Was this moose really drunk? How is that possible? It is very possible. However, not because of alcohol from a moose bar but from fermented apples from the same tree that it was stuck in. The man that found this moose said that it could have been eating the apples from the tree and while doing so, it could have slipped and therefore gotten stuck. I would believe that because of the evidence provided of the tree having fermented apples and being that it was raining, dark and windy.
After seeing that I was like, Whoa! How would they get a moose unstuck of a tree. I have seen a documentary that most all moose are VERY dangerous. Once they see threat they will not stop to try to defend themselves. Knowing this, t unsettled me to know the rest. Did the people there help it out with out getting injured? However they did. Everything was fine. The moose was out and comes over to the same place to just hang around because he could feel safe there.

Children Movies Through Time

Whenever I was not out side my house playing in the yard I was watching a movie. I have grown up watching a bunch of movies, old to new. However, the ones that really caught my attention were the classic Disney movies. The originality of them are the thing that I think make a child want to watch those particular movies. Taking a deeper look into this I have seen that after those classic movies everything started to change, in the children movie corporations. In animation not really but in the rest as in the message they convey to the viewer.

Most children movies now in day are are trying to copy most concepts from the all time loved old ones. As to say, how many princes stories do we have now a day? When the first one was, I think, Cinderella. They try to convey the same message as being nice/polite pays off, money is not everything, treating others with respect is the right thing to do, to not judge others by the way they are seen at first, and many more. There are the exceptional that convey added messages and in different ways, such as; Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, Beauty and the Beast, and Sleeping Beauty. However, what is up with making more that tie into these classics? Such as The Princess and The Frog it is something that is very alike to those of the classics.

Also Pixar has come up with the most genius children movies. Who was to say that they actually look into the eyes of a child to see how life looks like to them in order to turn it into a movie knowing that many children will defenetaly want to watch. Such is to say of my #1 favorite movie series from day one to this day, Toy Story! They actually saw through the eye of a child to see that many children always wonder if their toys come a live when they do not look at them. The made a fictional movie to show that toys come alive.
