trouble makers

2006-04-27T07:44:00.000-07:00

!Hi ! everybody . I think that when a group makes a decision they need to fallow it. In my clss something hapenned. We desired voted as a group to go to a museum of sex, but nobody went. I think we need to act as a college students, not as a high schol students. As aresult, I desired to go to another institution, which i think could be more benefit to me and my knowledge. However, I need to follow my teacher's rule because in college if we want to reach our goal and get our degree, we need to folow what our teaches say. In conclusion let's act as a college students do.

UNITED NATIONS

Hi ! How is everything? I am writing becuase I want to share my experience in the United Nations building. It is an interesting place that you can learn about the United Nations mission and expectations. First of all, when you get there, you need to be check by the securyties on the front, then you need to go to the front desk information, by a ticket and go to one hour tour. In the tour the tourist guide shows you important parts of the building such as The Economic Social Council, Genaral Asambly Hall and Truestisheep Council. In addition, I learned about what are the most important six lenguages, which are English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Russia and Arabic. I suggest you to visit the United Nations building and have a new experience.

immigration issue

Hi ! my name is Yolanda and I'm writing because I agree with the waves of protest in the whole United States. It is really painful to see what happening in those days against the immigrants law, becuase maybe United States do not want the Illegal immigrants, but could be United States the same without immigrants?. I don't think so. In others words they do not want Latinos now, especially Mexican, but do they forgot that they bought the east coast of United Stated to Mexico? could you imagine United Stated without immigrants?

Illegal immigrations

One of the biggest problems that are affecting the Unites States is the wave of illegal immigration. To think about this issue it is really difficult, because all of the immigrants that come here is because they want to reach the American Dreams. There are many reasons why the illegal immigrations had been affecting us in bad and good ways.
The illegal immigration is affecting us in the bad way that some illegal immigrants had been abusing of some young girls and sailing drugs in the streets, sometimes they use the minor teenagers and at the end of everything the teenagers pay the consequence. However, some of them know how to work by the legal way, for example a big percent of all illegal immigrants work in constructions, sailing vegetables and fruits in the streets sometimes they work at the restaurants.
It is difficult to deal with this huge situation, because sometimes we treat them like they are the worst in this country and we forgot that they are humans like us. Sometimes I feel bad because they do not have the privilege as residents and they have to confront the discrimination.

Museum Trip

Museum Trip

Yesterday, I felt very good with the students from BMCC. They were very polite and kind with me. In addition we were sharing class comments and cultures. The teacher was very funny and friendly, I really liked her.
In the museum I had a great time doing my assigments with the students from BMCC. I was doing different assigments, but one of them was special to me. The great pyramid and the great Sphinx. It is part of the history of Egypt and people say that Sphinx was buried in the tomb with his treasure inside of the pyramid.
I hope i can meet with Rikvca's class again, becuase they were very intelligents and polite with all my classmates and me.
