Camping with the Bro's

Couple of weeks ago, me and the homies (Ricardo, Hector, Rigo, Valentin) went campig to Pismo Beach, we were planning to rent out quads for the day time and during the night we had a bonfire, we were having so much fun but the ranger came and told us that we couldn't burn pallets because of the nails, and people walked on the sand, the next morning a girl came up to us and woke us up, she told us that she stepped on a nail and that she was going to tell the Ranger about it.

The girl was all scandle and was bleeding, we all were upset and nervous because last night the ranger had warned us. We rushed and picked up the nails before the ranger came up to us, we thought that we were going to be in a big problem and even go to court. At the end the ranger came and gave her a first aid kit and told us to leave before we had any more problems, so we did.

How will you address these in your presentation?

- I honestly don't know how am I going to present a Kinesthetic thing about my topic (what happens after we die) also im thinking of changing it and make another question. But if I keep on working on the original one maybe I would be presenting a video or making a mental activity to make the audience feel something related to my big question, also I need to look ip some videos about it, and also practicing that routine/activity to prove that it works.

My Big Question Research

Some people think research is boring because because they have to do it for a class, and its usually about something that's not interesting. But today I did research and it was awesome, here's how I did it.
I went to my browser and searched for my topic, " what happens after death" I saw some various websites but they were related to religion, and I was looking for something sientific, and I finally found a page https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/a19903099/what-happens-when-you-die/ in this Page I gathered a lot of information, not in all the article but at the end everything atarted to make sense, and I still think that not everything is true because it can't be exact. Nobody knows and there's not a perfect answer for this.

Mi big question paragraphs

What happens to your consciousness after death?
I remember that I had this question scince I was 14, I don't really know and I don't think nobody knows what happens after we die, there's a lot of theories but I don't think they have an exact answer, nobody can die and come back to death to tell us what that he/whe felt. That's why I wonder what happens after we die.

Scientist say that our minds transportates to another universe, but how? If they say that there's have to be a way and something that can prove that theory, other say that we see a white bright light and that light means that we started to lose our senses, the last sense we lose when dying is hearing, we could be dying and still you can hear things for a short period of time, the light also is the first step of remembering memories, your life really flashes, our brain has a memorie thats tooks out all of our memories keeping it in blank at the end. In Fact our brains could stop 3 minutes after we die, and sking could last 8 to 12 hours alive.

Death is a process that even scientists are not 100% sure of what happens after, I think topic has a lot of information and a lot of theories that can't be proved, a great example related to this is that how were we created, some of the people say that We came related to religion, in fact, some of us say that we camed from an explosion because there's enough scientific evidence to prove it. Coming back to what hapoens when we die, i dont think we have enough evidence, because no one can come back from death to be alive again.

Digital Identity

I found an old instagram post that I uploaded 4 years ago, in the description of the picture it gave me a user thats called savagekilla805, I searched it on instagram and it gave me my far away cousin's profile. The picture came out of a web page called piknu, I opened the link that was on the bottom.on my picture and send me to my cousin's profile picture. Im not tripping but I feel kinda exposed or something like that.

Good morning

I think im going to take the next habits to succeed on my morning routines:

   -Put my alarm far away from my bed, and im gonna be obligaded to get up and be awake

   -Wake up earlier than normal so I can refresh my memory and think about what im gonna do that day

   -turn off my notications so I dont have to worry about anything and have more time to think about myself

I think this three habits would help me a lot because im not used on doing this things and I think im going to be less bored.

Autobiography

I was born in October 1st of 2002, when my mom was pregnant, she decided to cross the border as an illegal so I could have American Nationality, when I was two years old my dad was into drugs like meth and other substances and also my older brother was getting into it, when the time passed my dad was no longer with us and weeks later we found out that he was in jail because he shoot a man on his leg, the judge had sentenced him for 13 years, my mom decided to leave the U.S. and go to Aguascalientes, Mexico, she thought that it was better for my brother, my mom was thinking that he could left the drug behind and he did, but when I was seven year old my brother had a car accident and lost his life.

Ten years later I turned 12 and my dad got out of jail, i didn't recognized him because I've lived with my stepdad for the past 10 years thinking he was my real father and turned out that he wasn't, I was confused and had depression for 7 months, I told my mother that I didn't wanted to live in Mexico no longer and that I wanted to come to the U.S. to study, and live my life far away from that men that was supposed to be my "father".

Now I have 4 years living in the U.S. even though my Mom and brothers are in Mexico, I feel like I did good comming here, i feel like I've accomplished something that not everybody could do, I'm still in the process of learning English and looking for opportunities to get ahead in life without my most valuable things like mi family, and friends that I left behind in Mexico.

Advice on "First love"

First love by Ivan S. Turgenev presents a lot of situations were the charachters did good and bad things, I personally think that Vladimir did everything wrong, he couldn't handle Zinaida, I don't blame him, Zinaida is 5 years older, it is obvious that shes going to have way more exoerience than him, in fact Zinaida did good things, or she thinked smarter, one of the situations she did good was when he was controlling every guy and had everyone around her, so they could do her the favors she wanted, another one is when Zinaida played Vladimir, her and his father were going out in secret, not for Vladimir though, on the other side Zinaida thinked good, the next day after Vladimir knew that there was going on something with his father and Zinaida, she kissed him again so he wouldn't get mad or feel worthless. And at the begining I wrote that Vladimir didn't do anything good, because Zinaida was controlling him with little kisses.

How is first love for the first time:
The story of first love reflects to real life experiences, my experience was a little different, and I was unprepared and without any experience like Vladimir's situation, even though we all have our first love, its not the same one as others, some of us cry, some of us take it funny and not serious, even some people kill themselves because of love, to avoid tragedies and sadness, maybe I could give my personal pont of view and advise for not being sad after falling in love with someone. When I first had my first love at the age of 11 I liked this Girl named Ivette,
We first started like friends and one year after we became bestfriends, she started gaving me signs that I liked her and I did as well, she hugged me she was all over me, one night we went to get Ice cream and I wanted to tell her that I liked her and ask her if she wanted to be my girlfriend, so I did, one block before we arrived to her house I asked her to stop amd wait. I was nervous and finally I asked her if she wanted to be my girlfriend, she was quiet for a bit and she finally answered, Ivette told me that she was confused and he was going to think about it and I was shaking, I told her that I loved her so much and tried to steal her a kiss, first I hugged her and she tried to pull away so I let her' she ran into her house, the next day I had lost my best friend, I was crying alone inside of my classroom and thats the first and obly time I cried for "love" today i feel love but not to the point that I would cry or feel bad, why is this though? Because love comes and goes so quick, and every time a situation of love makes you stronger and makes you think before you act, if you feel "love" against someone, don't think about it and express what you feel, if you just want that person for not being bored and kill time just do it, it's not illegal to have more that one love and cheat in someone, on the other hand if you love someone with the fact that you are willing to stay with that person for a long period, take it serious but not put all the love on him/her, there's a 56% on this world that couples claim to be happy, the other 44% cheat or don't love their partner anymore.
This are my personal advices and opinions though, maybe I think different as others, but in love, it's better to try and gain experience so you don't get lost and have bad situations like mine or even worse.

First Love Review

      First love by Ivan Turgenev begins with a late night time, of three men sharing  stores of their first love, but when Vladimir Petrovitch refuses to tell his story, instead he prefers to write it and then come back after he is done. The story that he later finishes, he told when he was sixteen years old, and that he was in love with a princess named Zinaida, Zinaida was twenty one and also was his neighbor, she had many guys around so they can entertain her. In this part I think she just wanted him because of the innocence he has, and then she could manipulate him with no struggle at all.

Zinaida mentioned something that she worries about and makes her think about love "I must have someone who can master me .... But, merciful heavens, I hope I may never come across anyone like that". Vladimir knows that he couldn't master her in any way but he insists in loving her because Zinaida doesn't leave him alone, instead of her telling him that he's not for her, she puts Vladimir to think by giving him clues and even kissing him on the forehead, it is obvious that Vladimir a teenager that has never experienced love was going to get curious and addicted to her. As the story goes, it is proven that he wants her, Zinaida was on into his father, Vladimir notices it, he knows that he's looking like an idiot on Zinaida's side, instead of him refusing her love, he goes to Zinaida's house to say goodbye and she kisses him so passionate that makes him think a lot more about the situation.


Four years later Zinaida died and he doesn't feel bad, I think this is because the past helped him on the future, I personally would recommend this book to the audience, especially to those teenagers that had never experienced love for the first time, in fact this book could help them what love really is, not just kissing and cuddling, the feelings and what you think about love maters too.
