Political discourse

The country is currently undergoing changes at political level. The laws, such as communication, are being discussed at the assembly in order to "propose" changes in the country. No doubt these laws are written in obedience to the interests of some politicians. There are points at which the law is very clear and makes sense but in other points it is a very contradictory law.

Expresion freedom is at risk and the right to say somthing is becoming more complicated even though the law protects the journalists when you give an opinion as long as not undermining the integrity of individuals.

It is unfortunate that the media are always handled by people who always wants to make known their views silent the rest.

It's hard to change third world´s society through law that are good in theory but in practice are different.

The corruption is very large in the country and obey the law is complicated. I am very sorry that you we can not educate people for a change in the country because of our thought.

Learning English

When I finished High-school I decided to go on a trip to learn English. So I went to California, Orange County. There lives my uncle with his family. It was a little hard for me to speak English because the entire family speaks Spanish very good. My cousins are from United States but his parents are from Ecuador so they speak very well both languages.

When I was in the house with my cousins I only speak Spanish because it was kind of strange to speak English with them. But during the day I used to go to the languages school and there I had to speak only in English because all my friends were from different parts of the world and the only way to communicate was English.

In the house I used to watch television and all the programs were in English. I used to read all the newspapers to learn more English and when I went for shopping it was necessary, only in some places, to speak also in English because a lot of people from California speaks Spanish too, so the things were easier for me. But it was also a little disappointing because I expected to learn a lot of English and it was complicated.

When I was five years old.

When I was Five years old what I wanted to be when I grow up was to be a lot of things. It was amazing how my sister and I used to play everything that we can imagine in that time. We played as we had a school and both were teachers. We invented a school where we helped children who didn’t have the possibilities to study. That is one part of what I wanted to be.

On the other side we used to play as we were anchors of a television program for young children. In this program we invented also a lot of games where the children used to participate and who won the competition got an award. Then we sang and danced a lot of songs from the Yuli’s program that was a TV show for children that we saw all the weekends.

I think that both were my greatest wishes. First I wanted to be a teacher and teach all the poor people who didn’t have the opportunities like others and second always I wanted to be like an anchor where I can expose all my thoughts and believes and say what I want.

Almost I am accomplishing that wish because now I am studying social communication and with that I can almost be free to say what I want.

Risk

I think I am a person who has not taken many risks in life. Now that I am realizing fast everything in my life has been very calm. Maybe is because my parents are the kind of person who don’t like the “new” era and that’s why I grew up with all the traditionalism. Both are very conservatives and they taught me to be the same as they.

It is hard to be like them because first of all I don’t think that the thought that they have are kind of old and because I considerer that I am an intelligent person who can decide for myself.

One of the risk that I took once was to run away from my house. It was when my father and I had a big fight and I couldn’t stand it any more and I packed all my belongings and left my house.
In that time I used to work in Cinemark in plaza de las Americas. That day I went to work and at night my mother went to see my and talk with me. But I was so angry that I didn’t hear my mother. For the next two weeks I stayed with a friend from the work and then I returned to my house because I missed my family and they missed me too.

It was interesting taking that kind of risks but now that I´m realize it was kink of stupid, too and maybe my father could reacted in a different way and not recieved any more in the house.

I´m for the risks but in the ones that are to improve in the jobs or to be a better person in life.
