Post #15- Saint Valentine Day

          Today is a great day because was a casual day in school and a special reason to recognize the friendship of all the people that I admire. Chocolates, roses, and gifts are the symbol of gratitute to all the people that we love. I reflex about this special day and how impact every person feeling and traditions. In my times a good gift is about brand or how big is the gift. We have been part of economical changes and the newspaper and the Television promotes the commercialization for this special day.  I have heard about my grandfathers and grandmothers that Saint Valentine in their times was simple. They took a little time to write a letter to express from their heart what they feel and how glad were them with the companion of their friends and family. The dinner was the complement and celebration in each house for special moment to be all together. Each neighbor used this moment to share food and take a little time to talk with the neighborhood. This tradition probably created a great bond between the people and promoted the family values that we really need in our times.  My present time is special but I want to conserve also the tradition of the past. Our families need to have more time together and recognize that Saint Valentine means union for all of us.

Post #14- Missing People

Hello, I will be talking about a theme that impacted the Puerto Rico newspaper past week. The theme is about missing people and about the twins sisters Ginarie and Julianette, fourteen years old, from Arecibo who was reported missing after witnesses saw them jumping the school fence and getting inside a car. This news is one that the people worry about because bad people is looking for kids and ladies to satisfied and do bad things. Missing people worry me because I do sports at nights and I have friends who do sports very late in the nights and in unsecure places. My parents are always with me and that give me confident but I know many kids that are alone during the practice and wait for them after they finished. In my rowing practices I tried to be always with a partner and watching the surrounding. The news of the twins is bad because many people care about this situation and the parent think the worst about it. I know that the crime is arising and we are exposed to difficult moment but we can do things to minimize risks. Parents and sons need to communicate better and be together. We need to be honest about telling the true and where we are going with our friends. We all are responsable of our act and we can prevent this kind of situation.

Post #13- Keep Positive!

Blessings to all. In today's post I'll be talking about how we always can be animated and positive in life for one to move forward. Unfortunately life brings good and bad times. Nobody likes to have moments of pain, we all want to be happy and never have concerns. I would like to go back to those moments when one was smaller and  maybe the concerns was if you missed an episode of Barney or something with nonsense. I miss being with my grandmother every day and now I have to go to school every day and after do my homework. Unfortunately when one gets older, you acquire more responsibilities. When I have bad moments I remember a slogan that I learned as a little boy and am that: Life is not a manual, sometimes the pain can make you to stop but you have to continue. When I think that slogan I remember that is law of life to sometimes do not have the moment that you would like to have but you must learn to move forward. My grandfather has always been a positive and fighter man which I always wanted to be at least half of what he is. He has taught me much about life and said that you have to be always being exemplary and never call attention doing negative things. My grandfather is an imminent person and is very loved by many because he always been there to help others and because it is a good worker. He has 73 years and still working hard with my grandmother defending others in courts. He can’t see another person sad so he will try to make the problems disappear. But the trick of all is to always be positive and never lose the faith.

Post #12- Violent Video Games Will Cause Bahavior Problems

Good evening everyone. On this day I will be talking about a problem that I saw today and are video games in minor persons. It is typical to go to Game Stop and found young people wanting to buy violent games that they think that are the best. Today the little ones are not interested in games that are educational or just for entertaining. Generations from now everyday face better technology and more sophisticated games. The teenagers are the main culprits of playing violent games in front of minors and war games like Call of Duty and any other games of slaughter. Minors should not be seeing or playing games of damage because they may think that the game is good and act like that on the streets. The first mistake that can make an adult is to buy a violent game to his son. There should be laws to prohibit children from playing with this type of game and should penalize anyone who contradicts the law. Playing games of slaughter is like  training to be a criminal in real life if the person does not have the maturity to be allowed to play accordingly. A few months ago in a neighborhood were detonating guns, and a person could recognize his weapon by the sound that was heard and he learned about guns in video games. After it was found that the gun that was used was that he could hear. The point of all is that the games are created so real that a child that has no maturity can cause a serious problem in life.
