What Should I do?

I would say that I haven´t made many important decisions during my life but without a doubt, my career has been the most important. When I was 16 and I was about to finish my high school studies, I had to decide what I would do all my life. Once elected, I didn’t want to go back and forth to find I had made the wrong choice, so I had to think very carefully about what I wanted to do for the rest of my life and decide in a few months.

On the first day of February, I had to start the process to be accepted by a university, and I did so even though I had not yet decided what to study. By the time it was the last day to choose, I decided to apply for dental school, however, after analyzing statistics I found that it was unlikely for me to be accepted. Therefore, I also applied for a place at IMSS Nursing School.

On the set date, I took the exam. I resolved that I would register in the faculty in which I got the required score, and if I didn’t approve either one, I would wait a year to try applying for another career. The day when the results were published, I was still in high school so I couldn't see them, but until I got home. 

Unexpectedly, I was accepted by the 3 schools I had applied to, making my decision a difficult one again. I asked my mom for help and after meditating for a week, I decided to enroll at the Dental School. At first, it was a drastic and difficult change, but after the first semester, I was fully adapted, and I like it as I never thought I would.

Big Party

I remember that during my childhood I used to visit my grandmother´s house once a month.  It was a huge and fascinating place to explore. In the courtyard, hundreds of plants and trees gave it a jungle look, there grew grapes, cucumbers, papaya, soursop, among other fruits. In the middle of the vast vegetation, there was a small chicken farm where I used to play.

I was in the playground with my cousin and my sister when I had the incredible idea of celebrating my birthday party there. Despite not knowing many people, I found it very clever to invite all of my grandmother's acquaintances as they could give me gifts.

The big day came, my parents, prepared everything in detail. My grandmother cooked and my aunt combed my hair while I was sitting on a chair feeling immense happiness. The smell of freshly made food captivated everyone who entered the house. I listened to the footsteps of the arriving guests and those of my cousins running into the house.

As I went out to greet all the guests, the sound of laughter and conversation flooded the environment. As I looked at the faces, I realized that not many of them were familiar to me, but I did not give importance to it since they all brought me gifts. It was a party full of fun and at the end of the night, I was sure I wanted to repeat that celebration. My sister and cousin helped me open the hundreds of gifts I received and I gave them some. I know it's a day I'll never forget because it reminds me of a lot of my grandmother and my parents who did everything they could do to see me happy.

Eco-houses / Freedom


Eco-houses

Nowadays, most of the houses in which we live are made of manufactured, processed, and industrialized materials in huge quantities so they are not in harmony with nature, and unfortunately, they harm the environment. Fortunately, in recent years a new concept of dwellings has been developing and it consists of creating ecological and sustainable houses that give us an ideal place to live without exhausting natural resources.
These residences are something that we never imagined before and it’s expected that soon eco-houses will become the latest thing. Eco-houses will be made from recycled materials, they will be close to achieving zero waste so you won’t anything throw away and the housing system will find a way to recycle or reuse everything. Also, they will have electricity from a ‘green’ supplier, renewable energy systems, such as solar thermal energy to provide all the basic services.
Due to the great advances that have been made in the construction of ecological houses, it is thought that shortly a greater number of such domiciles will be built for the local people. Their price will be accessible so it will be one of the best options for housing. In some countries like Australia, there are a lot of eco-houses, but recently it is common to find eco-apartments too so this trend is something that will grow shortly.


Freedom

Freedom is such a common word, easy to say and write, however, most of the time we don't give it the courage and deserves the recognition, but without a doubt, the hidden meaning behind it is shocking and important in the life of each person in this world.
For me, freedom is so complex that it not only the possibility to express ideas, feelings, thoughts, and opinions, but also the ability to choose from the simplest things as the clothes we want to wear, what we want to eat day by day, or a favorite color, to the most complex as the religion we want to practice, the work that we will do for the rest of our lives and even the place in the world where we want to live.
To sum up, freedom is the pleasure of being able to follow your heart.

The british iconic exhibition. Review

The fasinated exhibition who is everybody talking about is full of great  ideas but is not very dramatic     Visually .fifteen recent british inventions laid around the gallery with a little information about it.

However, some ideas exhibited there are quite interisting such as the mosquito alarm called hypersonic alarm who is an invation only for teeneagers. In the other side some inventations are not so cleaver or interisting like the electric bicycle or the baby bottle with atomic warmer .
Despite some invention are good or bad ,the information is interisting to note that some ideas have been inspired by young people as one  that just have  Eigth.

Difficult though the exhibition takes about ten minutes to go around,feeling dissapointed rather than inspired.

Finally the highligths is a section where people can write their Own Ideas

Iconic Exhibition: Magazine review

     This year the British Invention Exhibition shows odd and imaginative ideas but others not very dramatic visually. It's really interesting to find out laid around the gallery fifteen recent British inventions with a short information board on each. 
     Some of the ideas are interesting e.g. "Mosquito"  hypersonic alarm which only teenagers can hear. This gadget is used to stop teenagers from wandering where they aren't wanted. Some ideas not so captivating or original, e.g. electric bicycle, or baby bottle with automatic warmer. 
     On the other hand, it is alluring to notice the story behind the widget belonging to young people. One child was just eight when he suggested the idea to his father.
     All in all only takes about ten minutes to go around the whole exhibition, feeling a little flat rather than inspired. Sadly frustrating.
