Conclusion

      My English course gave me the opportunity to create this blog where I could express my thoughts on different themes. It has been a very beautiful learning experience to share my ideas with everyone who reads me. All themes were very interesting, but my absolute favorite was education. This particular one is well related with what I am studying, and as a future educator I pour myself out and gave my definition of education. Every person has his/her point of view and it should be respected. I feel very satisfied with the class during the semester because we were able to do different things. Now it has come to an end in which I have the opportunity to meet and share with extraordinary people, and, of course, an excellent professor. I acquire more knowledge and experience about my area of study, and have an unforgettable time. This little moments in life are the ones that makes us  grow as humans and, by consequence, as professional. I say it, and I repeated, I am very satisfied with the quality of class that gave my professor. I appreciate each and everyone who took time to read my entries; it has been a pleasure sharing my thoughts with you. But now it time to say good bye, I wish all a beautiful Christmas break with your family and loved ones,, and that this New Year brings you a lot of blessings; in other words: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

                                             

Poverty in the world

   Poverty is an epidemic that has spread around the world for many years. We can travel to any country and there will always be a poor town but the reality is that they never show us that part of the country. Just as there are people with great riches, there are also people living in extreme poverty. These people all they ask is to have a meal or a roof to sleep a day, while those who have everything do not value anything that they have and demand to have more. World poverty affects us greatly, because for that, thousands of innocent people die each country because they have nothing to stay alive. Those most affected by global poverty are children, because they have no way to get educated, to eat, to have access to medicine or to a roof to live and all because of their economic situation. It is very sad to see these situations and act as if nothing were happening.

                                    

   Ending poverty will be difficult but it is not difficult to achieve if there is a will to do so. If every person in the world furnish to help these people who need it so much maybe everything would improve. For me, one of my goals is to make my country a center where people with any type of need (whether food, clothing, sleeping, etc.) can have it. It is time to come together and help all those people because we have a genuine intention to do so. Someday life will reward each person who makes this gesture of charity with many blessings. The world needs to change and what a better way than all united to achieve it. Since childhood I have always been taught to help those most in need because although it is little that one can give, that means a lot to them. People, the world is in our hands and we must do something to end world poverty.

   
                                        

Education

     Education is an essential tool in the lives of each of us because it is what helps us grow as a person. It is sad to see such "important" tool, as is education, go hand in hand with politics. I find it totally absurd that our education change every four years because of a politician who unscrupulously desires to do so. Today the public schools of Puerto Rico have a major impact in terms of the special education program and this is because less than half of the students receive needed services. Many of these children have their condition and require some special services, but very few can get them. We must eliminate this issue that is happening in our schools because our children are the future of this country and need to be offered the best education. As a future teacher, I understand that we must meet the unique needs of each child and not discriminate any student. Also, it should be provided the necessary services to all children so they can have an excellent academic achievement. Teachers should accommodate themselves to the needs of each student to offer a proper education.

                                             

    The Department of Education should prepare all teachers, through workshops, to deal with all situations and conditions in the classroom so that all students have the necessary facilities to be segregated. If we want a change in education, it is in us as educators begin the exchange by providing each student with a good education and equity that each deserves. According to the laws that protect the rights of students, all should have the same educational services without discrimination. It is in our hands to make the change. Education is the most important thing we can give our children because it enriches and assists in the full development of intellectual abilities.

Horror movies

   Movies besides being an entertainment, relax us and help us release stress. Horror movies are the ones that people look to feel that fear or suspense that causes it. This type of film can create psychological damage in people. These films also can make people relive the memories of traumatic events. Most horror films are based on real facts and that is why the people get curious to see these films. Horror movies cause psychological effects through fear, anxiety, phobias, insomnia and mental trauma. For people who suffer from some of these types of effects is good to see these movies because it helps them overcome fear or anxiety they feel. These psychological effects could be felt by days or several months. People who suffer a traumatic event in real life and see some of these films that are based on real-life events, can cause post-traumatic stress because it is like reliving that situation.

   Although these films create some unfavorable effects to people, it also have their advantages. Horror movies help desensitize people to violence and to create an impact on the behavior of the person and help in their real life situations. These films are of great help to overcome fears and phobias. These films are my favorite because I love to feel the suspense of the film and more if they are based on real events. Through these films we can give constancy of the different situations that happen nowadays and many of us do not give importance.
