6. Sixth Week

Is there anything in your past that you would like to change? How would you change it if you could?

I have thought before about what thing I would like to change in my life, but my philosophy about this is always to be happy with I have achieved, because to see to the past and think about this and to try change it, maybe it can to be become in frustration.      However, I would like to talk about important thing in my past that I would like to change.   I would have liked to stay more time with my father because I have been a lot of time without my family, especially I would like to stay more time with my mom.   On the other hand, I wanted to be doctor as well, but I am engineer, it is well too. Always I have been busy in different activities, but I feel that I could have done more things my time. However, I see to my past, maybe I didn't have had time for that.   But you always can do better your life, maybe the first time when you do it, you are doing it the best that you can. Sometimes you can do it better, especially when you are in hard moments or when you aren't putting your heart in your actions.   I try to live in the present and to see to future and forget what happened in my past. My past is my amazing school and I carry with me all my beautiful experiences in my life.   Maybe, I have a question about my present. Was the best place to learn English in USA? And I think about, how could have been to me studying elsewhere? …

Crop Circles

Crop Circles

This is a mystery since 1970s, “crop circles” began showing up randomly all over the U.K. They were circles found in a field of grain or other crops. The designs of those circles varied.  Sometimes, they were simple. But other times, they were rather complicated. There are two theories about who are the actors of Crop Circles. First theory is:  They are made by aliens, because those pictures are perfect geometric figures and they have a big extension. Second theory is: They are made by human, because there is profession called Cereologists who make it. In addition, cereologists use simple tools to do it such as rope, sighting wire and stake.

5. Fifth Week

Have you ever been involved in some serious wrongdoing? What lesson did you learn from the experience?

If you like to travel around the world you need to have in your mind that you need to follow the rules of these new places that you visit. I think that if you want to feel freedom you must meet with law.   I have never ever been involved in some serious wrongdoing. I feel peace about this.   Sometimes you can have situations where you can be involved in wrongdoing such as traffic accident or attack from bad people or so on. But the most import thing is do always that better you can.   The first rule when you have a travel is: where you go, do as the Romans do, of course you must follow your principles.   I have learnt in my life about this because I have traveled for different countries and I have never had a problem with wrongdoing.   Only you have to be careful because others may do wrongdoing and you could be a victim.

4. Fourth Week

Vacation with my family

When I was a child, every year when the school was finished, we were going to visit to grandmother and my uncles.   That was amazing!, because every end years my sisters and me were ready to set out.  We had our suitcases close to door. This was a tradition in my home.   My parents are teachers, then they always have had their vacations as us, it has been great to plan our vacation together.   The first stop was in grandmother’s home. She had a store and when we came at her home, she gave us candies. We played with her in her big home. That was one of better memories that I have in my childhood. We visited her in order to know how she was.  She was my father’s mom.   The second stop was in the town close to grandmother’s town. We needed about 45 minutes more to arrive there. There, we visited  to my uncles; they were my mother’s uncles in reality.   This town is called Quetzaltepeque, it is a small and quiet town, at less it was a few years before.   In this home, there was a tree 100 year old, its trunk was really big, and we played with it. That journey was too excited for us.   It was necessary for my parents to know how their family, our family was, and It was important for my sisters and me that journey.   Now, all that environment not exist, because my grandmother and my uncles are died, but this will have in my memory all my life.   I learned of this experience that keep the family together can help you growing up like that tree with 100 years old and with big trunk. You will have more stability in your life.
