I really like the different experiences that we have in Mrs. Crawford class, because those classes use to be harder than other ones for me but with her everything seems to be perfect, I do the best as I can for her just to try to do what she expect from me and for my classmates, another thing that I really like from the class is the mood that is present everybody seems to be happy with that class at the beginning of the semester I was really nervous because I was the only one from my high school that was on that class, but when I saw Christian everything changed I feel alibi, he was like me all nervous, with the time I learned that out there are many kind people who is around us. Who would never deny a little bit of help, like Maria, Diana, Christian, Angel, Ms. Crawford and Moises. I really thank those people for the help that they had offered to me since I got in here, they are one of my biggest motivation on keep me on course. This is fantastic, fabulous and wonderful.

annotated
Today in class we started doing our annotated bibliography about two articles the teacher help us to get some advice about the assignment, we work as a group she gave us a couple of examples that we can use as references in our annotated bibliography like a summary and the evaluation, we were divided into four groups two of the groups were doing the summary and the other two were doing the evaluation, we read an article and discussed about them, did examples of summary and evaluation, I did not get started in that moment because I did not have time to read it, so I just was listening to them and getting some advice of the examples so I can have an idea of how to get started. The teacher talk to us about it, gave us some feedback when we were asking her questions about the different assignments she gave us the articles that we have to be doing in order to get our credit for that class, my essay are really good because talk about how FaceBook is helpful for some of the activities, one is about retro sexual and the other one is about how updated Facebook account can make free.
Thankgiving
Thanksgiving a large word that for me has lots of meanings. Number one family we all go to my house, all my family get together to talk about our individual and different life style. Went my family gets together is a big party full of fun and food for me thanksgiving is a day in which all my family gets together and have a great time. My family lives in different places so we see each other like three times a year and one of those times is thanksgiving I think is because we all like to eat. Number two we eat a lot in the family but only because we have great cooks in it that have the skills to make like 30 plates of different food that we all enjoy eating. All my aunts know how to cook different things so one makes one style of food and others make different so you will always have something to eat no mater what. So in my house you see people in and out also stoping by to say hi and things like that. You will see people talking and having fun everywhere in the house. Young people playing all different types of games and having fun, adult talking and drinking but not getting drunk. The thing that I love about my family is that no mater what there is never a fight or someone mad we are all happy and never have problems with each other. I like thanksgiving because I get to see all my family eat a lot and hear the story's that the older family members tell us and make jokes about the past story's they've done. I love to eat and thanksgiving is the day that I can eat everything I want. The third thing I like about thanksgiving is that I do not have to go to work so is like a little vacation which I need because I get tired with all the work and school. Thanksgiving is a day to share with your family and have fun that do not involve religion or anything that is going to make some one in the family be uncomfortable or feel bad. I really like thanksgiving they because no one in my family works that they so we can get together and have a lot of fun talking one to each other telling everyone a lot of things that for me thanksgiving day.
Workshop
Today in class with a team member we talk about paper and how we have being doing it, , the teacher gave us some advice about our writing, she explained to us how it have to be, the team member gave us some advice about paper we to give and receive feedback from them we had to read our paper aloud so they can heard us and gave us an opinion about what they think about our writing. That was our credit for today so we are not able to missed, I do not really like to be talking aloud in English because I am very shy, doing that king of things I really like to be with Christian, Moises, Angel, Maria and Sergio because they can understand me better than everyone else does. Like I had said in other of my blogs I really like the English class because of the teacher and the classmates, they are very good people, the teacher is very compressive so I do not have any problem with her about my language, because I do not speak very good English and she help me with that and with my writing. I really grateful to her.
My Experience
Today in my English class we went to the writing center to work on the comparison and contrast essay, the teacher gave us like twenty minutes to get some advice and to continue working in our essay the first time that I went there I chose to use similarities, so my first paragraph was all about how MySpace and FaceBook were similar, but at the second time I change my mind and started all over again doing some things that they have different some of them were security, privacy, and the different type of users, I decide to do it this ways because those three different characteristics can be helpful for the people who do not have any clue about FaceBook and MySpace. I was so nervous because I have to started all over again, the teacher want something else than a paragraph so I stay until 11, so I can have I little be more of my job done, that they Maria and Angel stay with me because they have to be working on their research paper for student development class, at the end of the class I gave my paper to the teacher and I went to my other class, I really ,like that the teacher gave us the opportunity to be working in our paper during the class other teachers instead of that would made us work at home, they just will give us the title of the essay and the instructions that its, the different experiences that we have in the writing center are fabulous, they help us to construct our essay, to connect our ideas, put our paragraph in order and the like.I would like to be again in the computer lab with Angel, Maria and Moises, because I don’t like to be alone, so I can enjoy the moment. The experience that I have today in the writing center was fabulous, because we were preparing for our next assignment for our English class, doing some of the work that would help us to understand the differences that myspace and face book, what different application do they have like uploading pictures, make your own profile, play games etc, but I have discover also that we have to be aware of people in MySpace and FaceBook because they can be lying about they identity, name, pictures and things like that. Be aware of those can of people.

Writing Center
Today in class we went to the writhing center, so we can make today is assignment, we where writing an essay about why are we in San Antonio College, we have to compete in a essay contest, when I was writing my essay I was all upset because one of my classmates were right besides me, interrupt me telling me that my boyfriend was cheating ion me and things like that I was really frustrated because the teacher just gave us like 30 minutes to completed, I was trying to finished before the time were on but he does not let me, so I have to stay after class to finished was really easy when he was trying to finish his too, because the essay was a class assignment so if we don’t turn that in, is like an absent, because we did not get credit for that class and were like if we were not there. When I finally finish I gave it to her and went out of the writing center, out there I wait for my classmate to finish and we went to the cafeteria, that was all for today English class easy, but complicated, was just two paragraphs.
Articles
The articles that the group three were presenting today, are part important of or knowledge about FaceBook and MySpace, because many people use this two websites without knowing the risk that they have to take when they are using those two websites, like for example one of the title of one of the articles that we were presenting today was How Safe is MySpace and FaceBook either I or you know the answer for this questions, because we just use those online websites to be interacting with people, but we really did not the danger that existed in those pages, for example in MySpace some people registered them selves as baby daddy, baby cake, big mama, la inquieta, la tremanda. And we add them to our profile because we thing that they are interested, because of the name but what we really know about them, have you never asked them their name or something like that or have you met them. Another example is the ages some people describes them as I am 91,108,1000,2, how can this be possible we have to be aware of that people who just think in those websites as a type of business, like porno, prostitution, rapes, etc. We also have a lot of benefits with MySpace we can download music from them without pay a penny, or the case of the pictures, the different application that this has as the games, business promotion and things like that that is also. Like they have they risk thy also have they benefits we just need to be aware of that mental depraved. In the case of FaceBook is a lot of more privacy, and security because they have your profile private, and when you have to registered you need to give them your real name, address, phone number, name of the school where you were enrolling in, etc. information that prove that you are really you, that you are not using somebody else is information, and also is easier to find friends from the pass, in you old school, from the country that you were born, and many people that you have seen since you got in here The United States, those two pages has their advantages and their disadvantages, like in FaceBook you don’t have the opportunity to make your profile as you wants in contrast with MySpace, where you can make your profile colorful and interested.

Videos.
The video that we have been looking at this class is very controversial because Dana was a kind of teacher that was exposing the different three website that young people is using today and now. How myspace and face book have been transformed the life today in difference with the pass life, like how people think that the different websites that have been presented on the internet have a big impact in their children life, some of the teacher think that myspace and face book affect the grades of their students, because many students prefer to be in the computer just playing around and talking with their friends than be doing their homework, because they consider boring been studying. So they decided be in the computer instance of been working on their assignment. On the other hand many people think that myspace and face book help people to socialize with another people from another county, country, state, or just from another street without the necessary of been hanging around in the street, that will be helpful for the parents from keeping them away from drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and all that kind of things that are on the street, just waiting for innocent people who are or were sad, depression, and things like that. Dana were like encourage the thing that many students use those two websites as an entertainment in a good way she thinks that the teachers have to interact with the students and know more about them, on the other hand she asked the teacher to be more involved in the activities that their students have like use more technology in the classroom, this was all about the different opinions that they may have. the difference between those two websites like uploading pictures, IM, massager, profile games and all that kind of application that we are able to use for the only reason of been sing up on this web pages, I really like this activity because was very helpful for me to know the different application that it have. She was showing some of the application that the students are able to use if they have those two pages. She show a profile, explained that this was not bad, that some people maintain a conversation just saying things like Hey, what up?, what are you doing? Nothing, what is wrong, anything, just like this I think this video is most about how people could disagree, with other.
Comparation and Contrast
Today in class we were talking about face book and myspace again the teacher told us to write the differences that we know that those two have. First of all the teacher explained us the different steps that we have to follow in order for us to have a better paper. We read the requirements for the essay, the teacher help us to understand some of the points that have been discussed on the list and I really understood the point of this essay. After that we work as a group and say a loud one of the different between those two websites like uploading pictures, IM, massager, profile games and all that kind of application that we are able to use for the only reason of been sing up on this web pages, I really like this activity because was very helpful for me to know the different application that it have. Have been surprised on how people comment in somebody else life without even know them, they post their feelings in the principal page like they were some post that talk about Halloween, people who were sad because they have to work at night so they did not have the opportunity of went out and have fun.
Myspace and Facebook.
The experience that I have today in the writing center was fabulous, because we were preparing for our next assignment for our English class, doing some of the work that would help us to understand the differences that myspace and face book, what different application do they have like uploading pictures, make your own profile, play games etc. I really like to be sending like a type of requesting friendships, the people who has visit this web pages have been involved in a kind of socialize website were you can make a lot of friends from different counties, cities and states. Maria and Moises were playing around commenting somebody else profile, many people think that myspace is better than face book, have not discover which ones of those two is the best because I don’t really like to be involved with the computer I am more thinking, I like to be doing what I have to be doing instance of just been playing around with people that I don’t even know, many of them are just looking for a pass time, hang around with people just like a distraction, why people have to be like that if you don’t have a pretty face and good figure, they don’t accept the friendship request, some people have so roof with person who they don’t even know, I have a experience like that this weekend a boy whose name is unknown ask me for more pictures in my profile, he was like hi my names is hahahah how old are you. And he also add an statement like this you should comment mine pictures, and I went to his profile and there were a lot of pictures of women without clothes, that was disgusting I was just like in shock, how this can happen he is only twenty years old. That can not be happened. Why do they have that opinion of the women, they are not just a piece of meat, a good figure or something like that we have feelings, intelligence, and many capacities that may be better than be with a plastic girls who is just standing next to us show noun knowledge, who the only one representation of women is a piece of meat. those two web pages are almost the same they both are use like a form of communication between a lot of people who is hanging around with other.
Obesity
The videos that we have looking at this time are a little bit controversial, because this show us ho people used the different website as a type a business like porno in videos, different kind of pictures that destroy some people lives on the other hand we have those two articles that are show to us as a result of the obesity, and people with those problems, many people think that obesity is not a problem that they can lose and get weight whenever they want but this is not like that obesity is a injury that can kill to many people because they are eating a lot of sugar and that sugar is just eating and affecting all of their organism. They are a lot of people who are classify as overweight because of their obesity this can be prevent with a good diet and a little bit of exercise every single day. The group that was presenting show us like a type of graph that demonstrated that in some countries women are the more affected with this problems, but the men also have the same people the consume of sugar is a global problem, this was an article about brazil how men were obese. Those articles also help us with tips for a better life like fitness and health tips that can save our lives I for many reason like this can help us to prevent diabetes, high pressure, hearth attack, high cholesterol, and many other diseases that can destroy our life in some of the case this disease may kill us. Obesity has been a problem in the whole word from many years ago. Like here in the United States an investigation shows that Hispanic is the most affected with this problems, a lot of women and man are in a very high average of overweight, I don t really know why this is happened to us but its true. I think I just because many people is so lazy, and the whole day they are just sitting on the sofa eating a lot of candies, and all that kind of staff that make people fat like oil, breads, flour and cookies, soda, beer, wine, fried thingies as chicken etc. I am really aware of this because it can kill me so I just decide to be more active, make exercise at least three times at week.
Todays was experiences.
Today experience was kind of different because group one were talking about how myspace and face book have been transformed the life today in difference with the pass life, like how people think that the different websites that have been presented on the internet have a big impact in their children life, some of the teacher think that myspace and face book affect the grades of their students, because many students prefer to be in the computer just playing around and talking with their friends than be doing their homework, because they consider boring been studying. So they decided be in the computer instance of been working on their assignment. On the other hand many people think that myspace and face book help people to socialize with another people from another county, country, state, or just from another street without the necessary of been hanging around in the street, that will be helpful for the parents from keeping them away from drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and all that kind of things that are on the street, just waiting for innocent people who are or were sad, depression, and thing like that. I am like between those to opinions because I agree that myspace and face book can affect the habit of study in young people because I am living with that today I have two little bothers and two little sister they all four are younger than me, and I have been looking at them when they are waiting for their turn on the computer, sometimes they are like I was on the line first. They are always fainting for the computer even when I am doing my homework they are on the line, that make me frustrated so I leave the computer to then, on the other hand I am agree with the opinion that those websites help people to interact with different person like people from Mexico, friends that were left behind when we got in here. In my own experience with Facebook and my space its true that they can affect your grades and lower your point average, but I also agree that this depends on the person who is using it, because if you are interested in feed your education you are going to made it. Likewise many people use those pages as a form of business, like people who sell their body on the internet that disgusting but I have to say it.
