LIFE IN 2020

I think life in 2020 will change in many ways. There will be substantial changes in technology, we will have more advanced weapons. Life will be easier for people because we will have a clean environment, better public transportation and better jobs. More over Global warming will reverse a new technology that can control the air and prevent the contamination of our environment. There will be tremendous advancements by 2020 in Technology. We will have a telephone gadget which operates on electricity generated by our brain,allows our manager to speak with us as any time during working hours.This electronic device which are supposed to make us more efficient. Although these changes are going to affect us for life in 2020 for so many reasons.In the same way as more advance technology will change human society in the way of living more comfortable but at the same time people can be lazy or people can waist too much money in electronic devices.For example cell phones,computers,machines,cars,and radio etc. The quality of life will be better. People will get better paying jobs by working less with better technology that can control the manufacturing having instructions that will tell the person in the correct order how to do it. Therefore life will be easier for our environment by having better jobs.As a result of societies are going to be more technological and people are going to be more compatible having everything easier and faster without doing hard work. As a result of global warming we will have a new technology that can control the air and prevent the contamination in our environment. Also this technology will normalize climatic changes,decrease sea levels, flooding, melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, fluctuation in temperature and precipitation. To conclude, the technology will affect and change our lives in a possitive and negative ways. By making life more easier and at the same time more expensive. I am more optimistic about the future but I know that It will bring some problems with it.

MY MEMOIR

Grand mother’s bed room

Since I was 6 years old I have been talking about teen age self esteem to the people that I trust in who sit every afternoon at mama’s bed room in hot neigh boor hood, south queens. The bed room is large and big. There is a big chimney next to the cough, and this is where she sits when she wants to take a brake in the house. Outside she can she the birds at the orange tree, eating the raise that she left them, and she can who’s throwing water to the flowers or who’s child is walking out waiting at the bus station to pick them up. There are buildings all around, and her eyes will follow them looking how much high they are, up past Gabriela’s Zunigas’ house and on. When I am visiting, I make sure I never sit in Grand mother’s cough. I want her to be warm next to her chimney.

Relatives will come by- Uncle Asela and cousin Anyelina, Yorzany and the guys, Carla and the baby and all sit in the big cough in the window way or on an extra old extra chair that will not let anybody to go to the kitchen who’s trying to get to through the kitchen. But everybody wants to go into the kitchen to eat the cultural food that Grand mama’s cook every afternoon, where there are plenty of sits for all of us. We want to be in Grand mama’s kitchen, near this heavy old table, and we want to drink chocolate and coffee and cake or clean over after that eating bread and talk having a family conversation been unit to each other sharing each one of us our experiences until we are all talked out, and there is everything clean or nothing left to do but go on home and rest up and come back tomorrow to talk some more and at the same time take care of Grand mama’s.

PLANING A FIVE PARAGRAPH ESSAY

All students in lower school should be required to do social service for at least one term each year.First, the experience would allow them to get closer to disadvantaged people,understand their needs and help them in some small way.Second,the students would have an opportunity to interact with each other UWC students whom they would not normally meet back in school.Third,they would probably discover that however service involves soma hard work,it is also good fun and leaves one with a sense of achievement.

The experience would allow them to get closer to disadvantaged people,understand their needs and help them in some small way.For example,when you work with a physically disabled person,you start to realize how many obstacles they have to face day + how courageous skillful they are.

In addiction,the students would have an opportunity to interact with each other UWC students when they would not normally meet back in school.in contrast during normal school hours,spend nearly all time with own class,but social service is attend by students from a mixture of classes and grades.Similarly discover that people appreciate your friendship they enjoy being with you for a while + chatting.

Finally,they would probably discover that although service involves some hard work,it is also good fun and leaves one with a sense of achievement.Therefore very rewarding when your partner makes progress,although you have to be very patient (e.g. with a mischievous child).Also GAmes,music,simple art and crafts etc.involve lots of laughs.

In summary,my beliefs is that students at UWC should do work for social service and get all the experiences opportunities that they have would benefits for themselves.Also I think that at the same time they would have the opportunity to interact with each other and make more friendships.

I decide to read this book because, I identified my self as growing up in a similar situation which I had to immigrated to the United states to have a better life and opportunities that will benefits for my future and my dreams of life.

The plot When I was Puerto Rican, by Esmeralda Santiago, is interesting because it gives the reader a realistic sense of cultural life immigration. Negi the adolescent girl who spend her childhood in Puerto Rico living in poverty. When she was thirteen years old her family moves to the United states to get a better life and to get more opportunities and benefits so they could have a better future also she had to learned enough English to be a accepted in High School.

THE TWO THINGS THAT REALLY MADE ME TO LIKE THIS BOOK:

1- The characters skills and interactions.
2- The interesting life experience as a immigrant.

I really don’t understand the part when Julia starts missing Negi migrated to the United States.

This book is similar to another book that I read because it have the main point of view but with different experience of life.

Spend most of her childhood in Puerto Rico living in poverty. Her family did not have very much money and surviving was sometimes a struggle, especially when the family keep growing. The family’s lack of money lack them to move a lot throughout Puerto Rico. All the moving caused problems with Negi; she often found herself lost in the world she’s been living in her whole life. Not only does Negi's family not have much money, they also struggle to stick together. Negi's father, isn't home very much, upsetting Negi's mother immensely. She blames him for cheating and becomes very angry, resulting in Negi having a lot of unwanted responsibility around the house. This unwanted responsibility causes a strain on their mother daughter relationship. Negi is constantly trying to find herself in a very confusing world, where her father is never around, her family is always moving and her relationship with her mother and siblings is inconsistent. Just when Negi turns 13 and the problems of her childhood seem to be settling down, her mother moves Negi and her siblings to New York City. This changes Negi's life completely; everything she once knew is left behind in Puerto Rico. She has to start all over again. Negi has to work very hard at school, to learn English and catch up with the other children her age. Through her hard work and determination she is able to accomplish a lot and make herself a bright future.
