My thoughts




Puerto Rico is a big island for us puertorricans but small for others who have lived in a country or state. Puerto Rico for us is like our identity, it’s what we are. Puerto Rico with its tourism attractions, its variety of beaches and with our all-around culture. Puerto Rico is mainly known for its beaches were we have one of the best beaches of the world. It’s located on Culebra called Flamenco. Tourists have commented some nice things that when I read them it make me feel proud for it. I have seen positive and negative comments all around the internet were some say that Puerto Rico is not a good place to live in but only to visit for a while. Those comments are the one that really bothers me because they have been here maybe for a week or so and they say that isn’t a good place to live like f they have lived here there whole entire life. I have read other comments that Puerto Rico isn’t a safe place either that it occurs a lot of crime but crime happens in every place in the world no matter where it is. I have known people that change their minds by the comments other people make about Puerto Rico. That’s like changing your whole identity, changing who you are and your culture. I always say that no matter what people say about the place I am from I won’t change my mind or thoughts about it.  I will always say that Puerto Rico is the best place there is no matter what. I won’t change my identity for nothing because saying bad things about Puerto Rico is like changing who I am.

Dead poets society reflection


In the movie Dead Poets Society we see a lot of struggles by the students on their own internal and external journeys. The movie portrays how some students had it and how the English teacher Mr. Keating tried to liberate them. To let them choose their own paths in life and to stand up for themselves. Along the movie he helped his class but mostly two of them, Todd and Neil. Todd was a shy student were he didn’t speak or said what was on his mind. He thought that his saying wasn’t valuable or that worth something. At one point in the movie Mr. Keating help him realize that he had it in him the whole time by doing an exercise which push Todd to improvise a poem in front of the class. At first Todd was terrified at doing such exercise but then everything got its flow and he beat his fear. Now there was another student Neil which he had it though. With Mr. Keating`s class he realize what he wanted to do in his life. Neil realize that he wanted to be an actor. His internal journey was on wanting to become an actor and he even got on auditions for a play and got the leader role on it. He had a problem and it was that his dad didn’t want him to be an actor but a doctor. That`s where the external journey comes in on his dad wanting something else in Neil`s life and not wanting to understand Neil`s passion or thoughts. With that struggle that Neil had he didn’t hesitated and committed suicide. In my opinion it was something a little too tragic of an action to do but there had been cases of desperation that end up just like that. It could have ended like Neil running away or even trying to make Mr. Perry understand better his son`s feelings.

A little about me..


I have come to be what I am for my own experiences in life. My experience have molded my personality and my way acting around people. Some people say that parents mold their children but in actuality they mold themselves and parents do help but only help. It actually depends on the person. For myself it depends more on my experience even though I am still molding what and how I am. But first to talk about me, I am someone you can consider shy at first. Then with time I can loosen up more. I am a sport guy, I like to play sports even though I don’t play them often but the sport that I like the most is basketball. My dad when I was little try to make me a baseball player but I felt in love with basketball. Right now I have change more since I started the university but for a better me, a more active me around people. I like to eat a lot and that explains my appearance but also I always like to do exercise and that’s why I may have a little form. I also like to drink and a lot, that isn’t such a good thing but I started at eight grade and for my big body I endure more. I started to take a liking to it but right now haven’t drank that much. I watch television but mostly I like more to watch series. I like Superman also, his like my favorite superhero. Even more when I saw the series “Smallville” which is how superman got to be superman, his journeys through high school and college and is really interesting. I want to become a doctor but not an ordinary doctor an orthopedic one so then to become a sport medicine doctor which is my top goal since I was a child and it interest me for my own experiences injuries that I have had during the years. That’s me a shy organized guy that likes sports, love to eat and that wants to be a sport medicine doctor.
