Assignment #20 Free choice

My Family
        I don't have the perfect family, but I have soo much love for them. We are a family of six with six nephews and neices, so a total of twelve. Im the youngest out of five. Its Jesse, Jaime, Mario, Rosa and myself with my mom. My father passed away when I was two years old. It sucks to see other girls with their dads and the special bond they have but I know god is good and he took him for a good reason.
       All our lives we've lived in Costa Mesa. Three of my siblings have their own little family now. I have 2 nephews and 4 neices. Being an aunt is soo fun. Im always there for those little trouble makers. I love them as if they were my kids. I raised the oldest boy, which is 5 years old now when his mother left him and my brother. It feels good to come home and he has drawing done for me that he did at school. Its soo cute.
      My sister Rosa is still in college, shes trying to be a RN. Shes a great mother to her two little daughters. She changed for the better and im soo proud of her. My brother Jesse still lives with my mom and I with his two kids. He didnt finish high school, but has a great job that keeps him and his two sons okkay. My brother Mario just got out of prison for making a few bad choices and my brother Jaime lives in Oregon with his wife and daughter.
      Everyone seems to have their own life now, my mom is always trying to see everyone. She misses them I know that for a fact. When we all get together, just us, its always soo much fun with a little drama, hehe. Who doesnt have that in their family ! Like I said, my family isn't perfect, but I love them !



Assignment #24 Typing

The experience I have with typing is pretty descent. During my freshmen year at Newport Harbor, I took a business class and the teacher gave us few excersices on the keyboard before we actually started our course.



This website  that I found seems pretty intresting to me. It has tutors that will help you with your typing, and most cool part its that its free ! It also has games to help you as well. The games come in different levels to see how fast you can type. After your finished the lessons and you move up a level, you get a certificate saying how fast you are.

assignment#22 smoking

10 Reasons Why People Start Smoking :
1.) Peer Pressure
2.) Social Rewards
3.) Risk-taking Behavior
4.) Parental Influence
5.) Misinformation
6.) Genetic Predisposition
7.) Advertising
8.) Self-medication
9.) Meda Influences
10.) Stress Relief

              My opinion about smoking is that you shouldn't do it. I myself have never in my life smoked and I don't plan on it. Many people my age do it because of peer pressure and it sucks seeing them stuck to it because later in life they could get lung cancer. The smell of it is soo nasty, who would want to smell like cigaratte. The worst part is that they rot your teeth. Thats really disturbing to see people with rotten teeth. My grandfather died of lung cancer due to smoking and my brother got asthma for it. It sucks that one little cigaratte can do soo much damage. That's why i would never do it, not just cigarattes but everything else.

Charities Assignment#19

Make-A-Wish Foundation is a charity that grants a wish to every child that has a life threatening life condition, such as cancer. They get to make a wish of what they would like to do or have and with help from others, they try to grant each child's wish. This charity is between ages 2 1/2 to 18 years of age. It has filled more than 3,500 wishes since this charirty was founded in 1983. They want ever child to feel joy, happiness. Fell like everything is alright and that everything will be okkay soon, they give them strenghth.

This charity is important to me because I love children and it breaks my heart to see them or even hear that they have a life threatening disease. If I was in their shoes, I would like to know that other people that I dont even know cares about me. Every child is just an innocent human being with life full of joy and happiness, they shouldnt be going through all that. They are full of energy, they should be happy enjoying their time of their lives, instead of being in bed all day. I wish the best upon those young chilldren and I hope they find a cure for all the things that they are going through.

Assignment #16 Expertise

Something I am good at is helping others. I love to help others. It dont matter if its just helping someone walk across the street, I'll do it. I just love the feeling you get after helping someone, its just something words cant express. My mom taught me to be this way. Ever since I was small, I would always see my mom trying to help other families and donating money to hospitals. I remember we would go to the grocery store and there was always this man outside with a wheelchair asking for money and my mother would always give him a few dollars.

A few things that I do is I volenteeer at my mothers job. Shes a caregiver, so when I go over to her job with her, I usually help the residents with their food and stuff. Another thing I do is donate canned food to soup kitchen. Cannned food is usually cheap and on sale all the time so when we have extra money left over, we use it for that.

Some other things I do is donate money to the poor. Whenever I get paid from taking care of my nephews, $20 goes to that. Im use to it, my mother taught me. Another thing is my mother makes me participate on a church carnival, to help out raising money, its usually fun but is a lot of work.

Helping others feels great. Everyone shpuld try it. One little thing that you do, can mean so much to someone else. Seeing peoples reactions are priceless. I thank my mom for teaching me to be this way. It makes me feel grateful for everything that I have.
