My art consisted of a lot of pencil work. I thought I would wrap up the year with something different. My style in art is very colorful and vibrant. This quarter I decided to use pencil to create different shadows that I thought would compliment the drawling. Most of my drawling were of things that I thought of on the spot, and these drawling are what I think.

Breast cancer is hard to detect. Many people both women and men get breast cancer Knowing what breast cancer is and how it can be detected is explained in this website. Also the different types of breast cancers are explained too. Diagrams are also provided in this link because it shows what happens to the lymph noodles in the breasts. This website is more of a scientific approach to what actually is breast cancer but in terms that people can understand. The diagrams provided show what a regular breast that does not have cancer should look like or feel like and then it shows the breast with inflamed areas that can show probable detection of breast cancer.

There are many different types of cancers. One of them is ductal carcinoma. Different ways that they are describes or even the different types of cancers that fall under this category are ,Adenoid cystic carcinoma, Low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma (this is a type of metaplastic , Medullary carcinoma , Mucinous carcinoma , Papillary carcinoma, and Tubular carcinoma. The infiltrating ductal carcinomas that are more dangerous and life threatening are Metaplastic carcinoma , Micropapillary carcinoma and Mixed carcinoma. They are life threatening but they are treated the same way. there i s no cure for actual cancer there is just treatment for it and since there is just treatment, they all undergo the same process depending on how developed the part of the cancer in the breast is.

The website predicts that in the United states there will be many cases of breast cancer in 2015. Although they are all serious, some of them aren’t life threatening. There will be about 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women. In addition there will also be about 60,290 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed , which is one of the earliest signs of breast cancer .Also, there will be over 40,000 women who will die from breast cancer this year. That death rate is about 1 in every 36 women in America.

Males can also get breast cancer. The cancer that me can get forms in the tissue of their breast. It is known as a disease that only women can get because they have breast but men do get it too. The cancer in male breast is usually detected in men who are older. And sometimes it is hard to detect if a male has breast cancer. It is the same procedure that would be done for a woman but since they do not know they have it due to it being mostly a woman’s disease, they are ignorant to this. Usually it is detected in the later stages in men because they do not really know what symptoms to look for if they do have it.
"Crowdfunding for Everyone!" GoFundMe: #1 for Crowdfunding & Fundraising Websites. N.p., n.d. Web. 30 Jan. 2015. <http://www.gofundme.com/>.
Go fundme.com is a website that is basically what is the title says. It is a funding website that can be used for a specific person, group or anything you would like to use it for to receive fundings and donations. These donations are very easy to receive. We will be creating a website, for people to be able to donate money online. The team name is PINK ROCKETS and the pink rockets will be set up on a website with a gofundme.com link to receive donations! These donations will then be donated to the Susan G. K. research and another will be towards a smaller group funding for ella.
Rosemary Designs. N.p., n.d. Web. 30 Jan. 2015. <http://www.whitepages.com/business/rosemary-design-philadelphia-pa>.
Another method of fundraising will be to create Ribbons with Rosemary- Designs that will have the word #PINK ROCKETS . Rosemary Designs is a small store located on Front street between allegheny and westmoreland streets. We will be creating ribbons with the team name. The team name be printed on the ribbons and we will talk to her to see if she will be able to create ribbons for a discounted price. We will also be able to see if the manager would be able to create other objects since she customized many things such as ribbons, pins, balloons and many more.
Recording and Photography With Mr. Herman
Mr. Herman was my photography teacher last year (Junior year). A few weeks ago, he sent out a message saying we can still use the photo lab and computers, and just the equipment in his room. I will be using one of the cameras in his room to document the process. I will be taking pictures of everything we do. Creating the ribbons to selling the ribbons. We will also record us attending the cancer walk. that way not only are we documenting what we do, but the website created will be informative as well as interesting because it just won’t be full of words.
"Eating Unhealthy Food." Breastcancer.org. BreastCancer.org, 13 Nov. 2013. Web. 28 Jan. 2015. <http://www.breastcancer.org/risk/factors/unhealthy_food>.
May diets are supposed to keep us healthy. But many of the foods that we are being feed today cause some type of cancer due to the chemicals added to our foods. About 30 to 40 percent of breast cancer is diet related. Although these although these statistics are hard to believe, if we eat more natural foods the chances of getting cancer decrease. Eating foods such as fruits and vegetables decrease the chances of getting cancers. Eating the healthier foods are more expensive but are more beneficial in the long run. Foods with high levels of fat and processing lead to obesity in the long run and that can also relate to more diseases that can also lead to other cancers.
"National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences." Breast Cancer. N.p., n.d. Web. 30 Jan. 2015. <http://www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topics/conditions/breast-cancer/>.
This is a link that actually ends up leading to a book. The research in the website and in the book are actually about what foods are related to cancer. And not specifically certain foods but that they know there is a correlation due to the things that they add to the foods.They have also conducted studies to see if this is also a genetically thing. They studies over 50 women who are sisters of another women who have or have had breast cancer t see if there is also a correlation between breast cancer and the genetics of a person.

This is a pdf version of a lab. this is the hardcore science behind some of the parts of the body and how they may act as a host towards foreign bacteria and germs. the website mostly talks about what EMTis which actually stands for epithelial–mesenchymal transition . this is going to help me throughout my capstone because I can no further my research and actually try to understand what breast cancer is and why it can form in the bodies of some people even though it may not even be diet related it can just be hereditary and how it can be prevented
Coffey, Donald S. "Controlling Cancer Through Research." American Assosiation for Cancer Research. United States, Philadelphia. 21 Apr. 2015. Speech.
This speech was about controlling cancer through research. A professor gave a speech of what cancer is and how it can be treated. Further information of what types of cancer are treated and others cured. They show the progress they have made throughout the years as well as how when there was no treatment. This speech was useful for my project because it will explain how my information is relative to his speech and how we should focus more time on research for cancer.
Ingredients
2 cups grain rice (rinsed)
4 to 5 cups of hot water,
3 tablespoons of sofrito
16 ounce can of gandules
1 packet of Sazon with achiote
3 tablespoons of oil
Salt and adobo
Process
1. Add the oil into a big pot and let it heat up.
2. Add the sofrito into the pot and stir it until it starts to bubble up.
3. Add the gandules (beans) into the mixture and add the sazon.
4.Add the salt to give it more taste
5. Add a little bit of adobo to give it more taste.
6. Add water and let it boil
7. Then add the rice and lower the heat to low.
8. DO NOT STIR right away. Wait 10 minutes and stir rice.
9.Sir rice every 10 minutes for 30-40 minutes until the rice is tender.
Analysis: (this part you will be explaining how this meal is healthy, sofrito, guandules sazon and the ingredients basically)
Arroz con gandules is a combination of rice, pigeon peas and pork, cooked in the same pot with Puerto Rican-style sofrito. This is the signature dish of Puerto Rican culture and also has become very popular throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Arroz con gandules is part of Puerto Rico's national dish.
Arroz con gandules is a pretty healthy meal if you look at the ingredients. One of the major components that displays its healthiness is the fact that you have to make it from scratch. Since you are making it entirely from scratch, the excess chemicals that are contained in processed foods isn’t a problem.
Sofrito offers a lot of healthy nutrition for the body because it is a mixture of all natural vegetables blended. These vegetables such as peppers, greens, onions, garlic, etc. contain nutrients that the body need on the daily basis such as Vitamin D, E, and C.
The role in the larger food system is to make money. The food industry does not care about the amount of money you are spending or what you eat. they care about the amount of money they can make and how long it lasts so that they won't keep making new food or even let the food that they made rot. Some of the changes that I would make with my food choices are to eat more fruits and vegetables. Not everything that I will buy will be organic but I will buy foods that are healthier and aren't as processed. The impact of these changes will be a little more expensive. I buy a lot of healthy foods already but I never realized how processed some of the "healthy" foods I buy. For instance, in my family, we buy a lot of beans. In Puerto Rico, we would not buy a lot of beans since we could go to family farms and actually go to the farm and collect the beans. If we didn't do it, someone else in the family would make it. Same with the seasonings. Since we are not there, we buy all our vegetables and since they come from P.R, they are not as healthy in America because they are already processed. I am willing to buy more organic foods or locally grown foods.The Ted talk explained things that I already knew but reminded me of the seriousness of eating healthy. And that is why I am willing to do the full change.
In Bossypants by Tina Fey, you will find very intriguing stories. Stories from how she has a scar on her face, how much she loves and hates her job, and even stories about drunk babies! This book is not a classical romantic novel, or an all jokes book. This book is full of personal events that just make the moment funny. This book indeed is an autobiography. Everything happening in the book is about Tina Fey or related to to her in some way. If you want to know about how someone worked their way up a later, read about someone’s personal life and think hey, I am not the only person going through this, some sketches about Sarah Palin or just get a good(GREAT) laugh then this is the book for you!
Elizabeth Stamatina Fey also known as Tina Fey, was born on May 18, 1970. She is from a town right outside of Philadelphia named Upper Darby. The entire book is about personal to not so personal events in Tina’s life. She explains her childhood, her teenage years and her adulthood to a certain extent. In Bossypants, Tina Explains her childhood. She was very intrigued in the theatre. Everything she did revolved around the theatre. That influenced her life greatly because as a teenager, she work at theater as a cashier. She would like to see everyone perform and one day she performed too. She knew that is what she enjoyed doing. As she grew up that was her support. While going to school, She had a job at a YMCA to be able to pay off classes for theatre. By working and dedicating her life to her job and family, she has received many achievements and is where she is today. Throughout the book, she displays how she worked hard to get what she wanted. By being very detailed when talking about how she went from point a to b and so on, she gives the reader the opportunity to experience what she went through in some form.
This book takes you to a very similar place that Forever by Judy Blume takes you. They are both completely different genres and both have a different purpose too, but they both have one goal; to work for what they want. “Forever” was about a girl who went to a party and fell deeply in love with a guy she met. The feeling was mutual and were going out for a while. At first everyone was happy for them, but then as time went by, they thought that if they gave each other some time, they would be able to experience new things and would be able to work through anything and everything. The only thing different between Forever and Bossypants is that the main character in Forever gave up her love because she realized that in the time she spent alone without him, that she was not truly in love with him she was just used to having him. Tina Fey was not like this. When she worked for something she workers through it all. In her book, she explains how some nights she had to stay up to finish a sketch for Saturday Night Live. (If you saw some episodes before the 2008 election and a few months later, then probably one of her sketches were in the story and you got a good laugh out of it.) Tina Fey, was the person who impersonated Sarah Palin. Although she got a lot of negative criticism for impersonating Sarah Palin, she kept moving forward and kept making new sketches.
Also, this book gives a very insightful view on what she did at work. She loved her sketches the most. With that being said, if you are really into acting, you should read this book as well. The introduction to this book was strong as well as the other parts of the book.The only downside to the book is the ending. The books ending could have been stronger. It just seems that everything was rushed. Thats like baking a cake. If the most delicious condiments are added to the cake, then a great cake is expected. But if you put it in the oven and leave it for 20 minutes because you are trying to work fast than 35 to bring the cake to perfection, then the cake will not be as good. Or maybe if you add lemon frosting to a chocolate cake. Lemon cake is good but when you mix it with chocolate it isn’t the best cake at least that is in my case. If Tina Fey added more details to the ending like she did to the rest of the book, then the book would of been better. More of a cliffhanger would of been better as well. Maybe when she hits 70, she could’ve written another book and her cliffhanger would of been the completed version of the book. This book ending was not what I expected. Everything was tied together too quick. More details should have been including. Regardless of the ending, this book is one of the best books I have personally read.
The life of the actress, script writer and charming Tina Fey is really down to earth and hilarious. Bossypants reflets that all. It lets the reader know that sometimes in life, many lemons will be tossed at you. And you either take the hits negatively or make lemonade.

History journal 19 what is your universe of obligation?
My universe of obligation is my family and I
Then my education.
A job. friends then fun time.
Anything extra isn’t an obligation it’s just like fun time.“From the roots of a tree to the branches of it, you can see the changing colors of the season. Almost time to wear coats but not precisely. It’s like knocking the wind out of you. The warmth of summer so quickly replaced by the warmth of sweaters scarves and pumpkin coffee. Fall is beautiful.” was one of the things that I wrote in my journal. I learned so much from this unit as well. Not the changing colors because of the seasons but how fast something can change. Like I changed throughout my sophomore year. It wasn’t a negative change nor positive. But it was an original change. The originality of specific things. Originality is pushing yourself beyond personal boundaries.
In fall of 2012, I began my English and history course for my sophomore year. I was looking forward to the year because of the work I heard about during my freshmen year. The thing that inspired me the most or at least kept me myself through the entire academic year would most likely be the history journal 19. The journal question asked “ what is your universe of obligation?” I thought to myself . But it did not take me too long to answer this question. I knew what was keeping me strong for the year. It was my family. My family is my support system and regardless having fun time or an education or even a job, they came first because that’s what kept me going and motivated. We also learned about spirituality during the unit. I am a strong believer in the Catholic religion so I felt like the unit connected to who I was in several ways. And even though we did not study how Catholicism began or even talk about Christianity, I had the opportunity to write or express my thoughts of what spirituality really is in a journal entry. But although I felt comfort writing about my religion on a piece of paper, I had to pass that boundary. I had to push myself to strive for something bigger, for something better and for something more unique.
we were already in the middle of the academic school year and I was feeling sluggish. Just not caring about anything because I felt like I already knew everything but I reality I didn’t. During one for the classes, we were searching up inequality in other countries. We found out about sweatshops. this was it. A way to get out of my boundaries. Journal 32, explains how industrialization is positive because it has led to many more job opportunities for many people and has made the economy rise. But then it talks about how it is negative because of all the pollution and negativity going on due to the factory opening. And then journal 33 talks about all the negativity that goes on because of the factories. It talks about sweatshops. I think that this moment was the perfect moment for me to get out of my boundaries. I didn’t want to buy anything created by sweatshops but it was basically impossible due to the simple fact that everything is created by them and if they are not then it is super expensive. Also, I tried another alternative which was making it myself. I didn't know how to make clothes but also most of the fabrics were manufactured in sweatshops so I wasn’t actually able to accomplish much.. Right now, I am gathering as much information possible and see what things can be put into action to stop sweatshops from still being in business.
You see, many things were learned this unit. Everything from being comfortable with yourself and how others do not have the chance to be comfortable at all. We also learned about how the only way to survive was to do things in unison. We did a journal entry that ties everything up so neatly. Since I am such a family oriented person my journal entry was about my experience in puerto rico. it was in my personal boundary but it was original. if you wanna read more, CLICK THIS LINK, to read the journal.
Whatever happens when all the leaves fall from the tree? It may feel lonely or frightened, it may not be the prettiest, but when spring comes all you have to remember is that april showers bring may flowers. Every moment you have to stand out should be taken because thats what originality is. And thats what I learned this year. If something really interests you, go for it. You may be pointed at or signaled but just like the tree in the winter, it realized that it bloomed in spring.

WRITE UP A MADE UP STORY ABOUT FALL ENGLISH JOURNAL # 8
From the roots of a tree to the branches of it, you can see the changing colors of the season. Almost time to wear coats but not precisely. ITs like knocking the wind out of you. The warmth of summer so quickly replaced by the warmth of sweaters scarves and pumpkin coffee. Fall is beautiful.
Learning english at an earlier age was going to benefit us when we grow up. Other than Jose, I didn’t know people who were in that class, and my life shifted completely. There cultures were completely different right of the back because even though a lot of students in that class were hispanic, they did not know spanish as well as I did. I had my desk, my name tag, my books everything. And even though my name didn’t stand out from the rest of my classmates names, my background did. From the way I spoke English and Spanish, things changed completely.
Change is not a bad thing. Its something that we have to adapt to. Change is good.It was really easy to make friends too. When you’re the “new kid” everyone wants to be friends with them. The same day, I became friends with Gennyliz and Andrea. Gennyliz was Puerto Rican like I was and Andrea was African American and white. I went from the new girl to the cool girl. Jose was also there and it was good to have a friend. They were extremely friendly. I keep thinking about the day I met them and it wasn’t hard to adapt. WIth Gennyliz, I spoke both english and spanish to Gennyliz and Jose. But with Andrea it was only English. It was easy to be friends with them but sometimes I couldn’t find the correct words to respond. Sometimes when I spoke english, I responded with a spanish word. Not because I chose to, but because I didn’t know how to respond. Sometimes instead of saying okay, I would say “ o okey”. You were able to tell that english wasn’t my first language. It didn’t make me angry, it just made me want to learn more English.
Sometimes, I came home to hear my family speak in english then spanish. We called it Spanglish. The word itself sounds like spanish and english combined and thats exactly what it is. One of the biggest disadvantages might have have been pronunciation. When I said Beach, it used to sound like something completely different and well there goes a laughter. My family and I always corrected each other when the words came out wrong. it’s not because we wanted to harm each other but to strengthen our vocabulary and pronunciation. English was not our first language. So we had to work harder when we were younger in order to stay in tip top shape. Everything had to be easy for us because we had and still have to be successful.This is not fair! I worked too hard for this dog on land. I have a barn out back with five horses three cattle and I can’t just pick up and leave. We just got a new pump out back, Jimmy just got braces, and the chickens got a new cewp. There is nowhere for us to go what do they expect us to do. Coming through a small town like Lamar County. I wonder what we’re going to do about my grandmother too been living on the acres next to us coming close to a century now. She put all her life savings trying to keep our family acres together. They come in here don’t even know what we’re going through the struggles that we will face because of this pipeline. What is the keystone pipeline anyway? Don’t we already have oil in the middle east? (turns to wife) Alright well don’t go on telling the kids yet.
Todays the day, today is the day. I can’t wait to tell everyone that our work from America is being cut down. After all these years of depending on them for our trade we are done. The Keystone Pipeline, muah (blows kisses). Nothing better than it. Now I can relax not have to worry about whether or not we need to ship out to those Americans. Yeah, you know how much they over use their oil, at least we won’t be the ones helping them. (turns head as his friend begins to talk) I never thought of it like that though. We do ship almost half of our oil to them what about our oil plants? I don’t know but it’s not like there are many other jobs here for us that pay paying low. This pipeline is bad for the environment. It’s bad for everyone. Creating this pipeline will destroy my life now that i think about it. What about my job, less oil means less of a need for me. The keystone pipeline won't only destroy the environment even more it will put me and others out of a job. I hate the keystone pipeline.
I have hope for this nation. Sadly nobody will be able to have a dream if I don’t win the 2012 election. In 2008, I promised that I will make the economy better. I also promised the U.S will help clean this pollution.that we the American citizens, will clean this mess.But I will assure you that our kids and the upcoming generations will have a place to live in and breathe freely without having to worry about possessing a disease that will not only harm them, but potentially kill them. How will I do this with the keystone pipeline though.
(tying his tie, looks down at index card into the mirror)Let me try this speech again. We need to become independent from other countries. The keystone pipeline will allow us to create jobs helping our economy. (deep breath) I can’t do this anymore. I don’t think I want the keystone pipeline, it is damaging our environment it is putting people out of their houses leaving people homeless. Is it worth creating jobs when people are losing homes? I need to find a way to make it work. Have the people whose homes we are taking be the ones getting the jobs building the keystone pipeline. (rubs hand on head)
Before I was Barack Obama the president, I was Barack Obama the boy living in hawaii with my grandmother. Ugh I can’t keep forgetting this. My grandmother who risked everything to make sure that I am where I am today. What if this were her? But is it worth it the fact is this will help the States. it is too close to the election to be rocking the boat what do the people want? ( begins pacing up and down) The fact that my election can be based on something as dependance on foreign oil. There are other solutions we need to work our way up to no dependance on these oils. There are other solutions, such as solar energy. You know I’ve never really agreed with George Bush, but when he said that we were “addicted to oil”, yeah I have to agree with that. But what do I do when my opponent will kill me for doing this changing my opinion this far down the line, so close to the election. But I will not lie to the people I will be the voice of for four years. I will say the truth and hope for the best that’s all I can do. (walks out the door)
When June of 2012 came around, I had to start working out to buy my dress or thats what I thought was going to happen. What girl would not want her dress to fit and look beautiful? During the summer, I was babysitting my cousins and staying at my uncles house. But at the same time, I ate so much I always told myself that I would exercise later or go to the park in the morning. The reality was that I gained weight during the summer. “Did you finish working out”? my uncle asked me. I said yes because I knew he wouldn’t let me order my dress until I did. “okay then. come over here so you can order the dress of your choice” he said. I ordered my dress online. I orders a long poofy dress. It was a champagne colored dress with a lot of diamons on the upper part of the dress.I was hoping for it to fit because I got it the size I thought would fit. And also it was extremly beautiful! The shipping date was September 4th and I would get the dress September 12th. I finished babysitting and went back home because school was about to start. I got home on August 28. Everyday, I used to check if the mailman was there with my package. One day, i went out with my mother. “Mom we have to go buy my new pair of heels for my party” I told my mom. She replied with an okay we will get to the mall in 15 minutes. We bought beige colored heels that complimented the champagne and silver dress. When we arrived home,I saw a note on my door that said a package came to your house but it was left in my porch.My neighrbor left a note on my door. I was extremely excited to know my dress was just footsteps away. “Mom it’s inside Aalliah’s house”! I said. I will be right back with my dress. I bursted out of my house to go to my neighbors house and get the dress! I saw my neighbor outside of her house with the package and she handed it to me. I took it and said thank you for holding on to it. I was surprised because it was September 6 and I already had my dress! I was very joyful and thankful I got my dress.I was so thankful because I knew I had to adjust the length because it was 5 inches longer than it should be on the website. But when I went to put it on, that wasn’t the only problem. My dress did not close ! It was small! I tried and tried and tried to put the dress on correctly but it did not fit! My mom tried to put it on but still it did not fit! Extremely upset, I took the dress off and got ready to work out. I need that dress to fit! It’s my dream dress! The only one I ever wanted.
On the brightside, by my dress getting to my house three weeks before my party, I was able to work out and get it fixed on time. I got up early in the morning the next day and I heard my mother tell me to hurry up and get ready. We were going to work out! “ Run Chaveliz, You want that dress don’t you”? I replied with a yes! “So get to it and start running” my mom said. This happened for two weeks and a half. I saw the changes. I was so happy I saw physical changes. Now all I was waiting for was my dress!A few days before my party, I tried on my dress fitted perfectly. It had to be tweaked in a few placed to look better but it fitted. I was so grateful it did. Now knowing that my dress fitted fine, I went shopping for my changing dress. After two intense days of shopping, I found the dress that matched perfectly to my first dress and there it was ,it hit me. The idea of knowing that my party will be in two days!
On the day of my party, I woke up early to get beautified. I went to the hair salon and got a lot of curls on my hair, and got my nails done.I was extremely tired! But still tried to remember that all my friends and family will meet me at the hall. I left my house at 10 in the morning and got back home at 3:26 in the afternoon. In three hours, I had to be at the hall for my party. The hall that was full of flowers, full of butterflies and especially full of family and friends. I looked for all my make up and put some on. I was glowing and felt like a princess! Two hours down and I had nothing to do. So I sat and watched tv and took some pictures and then put on my dress. My ride got to my house ten minutes before. SO I had to rush out of my house and proceed to the hall. I saw so many lights on my way to the party. So many signs and I just sat there. Excited trying to calm myself down and there I was. In front of my hall. People entering and everyone screaming“Happy Birthday Chaveliz”! I was extremely delighted to hear and see people entering my birthday party and wishing me a wonderful birthday. Thats all I heard when I arrived at my party. That day will always be held in my heart. I saw my friends and family and enjoyed it dearly. Now I know if I want my dress to fit, without any complications to work out or if not my party will be a disaster!Attention all viewers! Recent studies have shown that the foods that we love the most, are killing us slowly. According to Top 10 Junk Foods, common foods that teenagers can easily find are French fries, a can of soda or chips. This junk food is found at an affordable price. Therefore everyone will buy them because they find them delicious and might even think they are nutritious. If our country increased the junk food prices and lowered the fruits and 100 percent fruit juice was at a cheaper price then our country wouldn’t be in an Obesity crisis.
When we get hungry, we want something to eat fast and hot. That’s where the idea fast food restaurants came from. Before, the U.S did not have such a system of fast food because they knew that if the food were out for too long, it would begin to spoil. Then, they made up a system in which the food was going to be ready. This process is horrible because its fried fat, and/or through the microwave. This may sound disgusting but it’s the truth. Millions of Americans love fast food restaurant. That’s where obesity comes in. You see, when you are cooking greasy fat then you are serving poison to the community. You’re killing our country for a dollar a burger. If someone was hungry and it was between the food that is home or a fast food restaurant, 2 out of 3 people chose fast food because they don’t want the wait. This food is horrible for the body but like it tastes good, the community doesn’t mind.
Obesity rates have also gone up in the United States because we are currently in a recession. Unemployment rates are going up because there is not enough money and not enough money means not enough food. Unless, you buy the unhealthy food that can potentially kill you. We need change and we need it now. The prices in our country have to change. What’s bad for us is extremely affordable but what’s good for us is horrible. How can this society not be as mindful with the new generation and putting them at risk of so many illnesses?
There needs to be change now. In our country the obesity rates for a male is about 31 percent. This needs to stop now. There is no reason why we can’t eat what we want without having to pay a lot of money. All of this fast food is causing cancer to our citizens because the fries from fast food restaurants contain a chemical that causes cancer. The community does not know this because we are not aware. We buy but do not know what we are buying! This has to stop.
There are many ways that the new generation can eat these foods while leaving original flavors and no artificial flavors. If our government makes a change in our food change we can be able to lower the rates of obesity. For example, if they say that a bag of chips, costs two dollars and a bunch of bananas is 35 cents per pound then the country will want to eat the banana. The country goes for the cheapest item. IF the healthier things aren’t as expensive than I can guarantee that we would have a healthier child rate.
We can change this now. Change is something that we all need and especially this country. We need healthier foods for lunch, and more affordable prices for the foods we need to eat. We had so many farmers and now we have none. Like unemployment is so high and farmer rates are so low, then why don’t we hire farmers? If we hire these farmers, then our fruits will be more affordable and our country will be at a healthier state.
In accordance to the center for disease control, we are eating ourselves into an epidemic of diabetes. According to the international diabetes foundation states "Diabetes and obesity are the biggest health challenges of the 21st century. Since 1999, diabetes has affected more than 16 million Americans. That has increased by more than 40 percent in the last decade. During the same time span obesity increased from 12 percent to 20 percent. Last year diabetes increased by 6 percent and obesity increased by 52 percent. About 80 and 90 percent of Americans with type two diabetes are obese. In relation obesity has a big impact in your health by increasing the risk of diabetes.
Obesity has been linked to other health problems such as high blood pressure. High blood pressure occurs when the body is in hypertension. When children are overweight r obese, they start to get tired quicker. This causes the body greater increase of high blood pressure. Many children in the United States do not realize the risks of being overweight or obese. Many people in the U.S have High blood pressure and the majority of the population is either overweight or obese. These conditions can hurt you so bad that can increase the risks of cancer.
The human body needs certain fats and oils in the body to be completely functional. When humans abuse of those body fats and intake more than the percentage they need, then they are hurting themselves and are in greater risk of obesity. When some Like all of the sections of fat in your body are full and you keep in taking food, your body gets bigger and not full of muscle but full of junk. This slows down the metabolism and your body can’t flush out all of the excessive fats. As a result, you can develop certain types of cancers because the human body was not able to flush out the negative oils out of the human system.
By eating the foods that you find the most “delicious” and not taking care of your body you can suffer from many different thins. You can get various types of diseases from high blood pressure to even cancer. If we don’t change the life style in American children, then the next generation will be harder to protect from these horrid illnesses. Just because you think certain things are healthy for the human body doesn’t mean they are. Take care of yourself and be sure to be aware of the risks of obesity.

Para El Municipio Publico
Querido Alcalde,
En
este pueblo, tenemos muchos casos de abuso. No entendemos por que están
pasando. Sabemos que tenemos padres o madres abusivos. También no se entiendo
por que los niños tiene miedo de reportar estos casos de abuso. Algunos niños
en nuestra comunidad han muerto por el abuso infantil y los policías no saben
exactamente lo que paso por que se dejan llevar por lo que los padres de los
pobre niños dicen. En este día le traigo una denuncia formal contra el Padre de
Pablo, Mariano por el abuso infantil.
Este
señor maltrata a Pablo físicamente y mentalmente. Mariano lo insulta
porque piensa que el es un bueno para nada. Pablo puede decir que quiere salir
por un segundo y el padre le habla de manera abusiva. También, este señor
abusivo le pega y le deja moretones el la espalda. Recientemente, Pablo llego a
mi casa con la mano rota. Este señor no tiene piedad de su propio hijo! Este
señor tiene muchas excusas en el por que abusa de su propio hijo. Pablo se
tiene que beber su orine. ¿A quien se le ocurre estas ideas absurdas? Bueno a
un hombre de mente. Pero una cosa que todo el mundo sabe es que si Pablo se
queda mas tiempo con Mariano, le va a llegar la muerte antes de tiempo. Como a
su hermano mayor.
Esta
situación es demasiado de estresante para un niño que apenas parece que tiene
sus trece años. Pablo no se puede concentrar en la escuela por que por causa de
el abuso de Mariano, el tema tener amigos. Los compañeros de Pablo los abusan.
Todos menos uno, que es mi hijo. Pablo y mi hijo son muy buenos amigos. Cuando
Pablo viene para mi casa, se siente liberado por que no tiene que estar
sufriendo. Un niño de esa edad no puede estar sufriendo en ese tipo de
violencia. El comportamiento de su
madre es intolerable. Su madre y su abuela ven todo lo que pasan pero no se
atreven decir que no. Tampoco se atreven denunciarlo. Nadie quiere ayudar a
este pobre niño que esta viviendo una miseria eterna. La ley no permite que aya abuso
infantil!
Este
chaval tiene muchas cicatrices el la espalda. El padre le
pega con coreas y l que encuentre. También tiene moratones y mucha mas heridas
en su cuerpo.
Todos
sabemos que Pablo le tiene miedo a enfrentar a su padre. Por eso es que hemos planeado
una táctica fácil. Primero, Pablo tendrá que enfrentarse con el padre y
pedirle a su padre que pare de pegarle o
abusar de el. Segundo preguntarle porque le pega. Y por ultimo, crear un tipo
de comunicación con el abusador para que el sepa que no le tiene miedo. Tenemos
bien claro que el abuso infantil no se debe de permitir. También estamos
atentos por que el niño le tiene miedo a su padre. La relación que lleva el
abusador con el hijo es complicada pero si le hablo al padre, le mostrara que
no le tiene miedo a el.
Necesito la ayuda de usted. El pobre
Pablo tiene que irse de esa casa. Pablo esta ocultando lo que esta pasando por que le tiene terror. Tengo prueba suficiente para que sepan lo que
esta diciendo Servicios sociales tienen que meterse en esta situación porque el
abuso esta demás. Si no me creen, averigüen
la negligencia y comportamiento del
padre. Yo me comprometo a ayudar y
cuidar a Pablo. No hagan la vista gorda!
Si no ayudan rápido, el pobre Pablo puede morir mas pronto que lo que ustedes
piensen. Lo tienen que denunciar!
¡Soy de la Oposición!
Antes
de esta unidad, no pensaba que era mala persona. Lo único que no me gustaba era
su posición política y como lo usa el poder. Yo pensaba que el era mas negativo
que positivo por su agresión y también como a el le gusta el poder. EL es un
adicto al poder y siempre lo será.
Aprendí
que Hugo Chávez es muy agresivo y es diferente persona en las noticias que en
persona. Para todos el parece santo, pero en realidad no lo es. Escuche que el
era como George W. Bush, un Diablo. Personalmente, no conozco a Chávez pero con
lo que e escuchado de el, no me gusta su personalidad o como el maneja a su país.
Soy
ante Chavista. Si estuviera en Venezuela no votaría por el, aunque le tenga
miedo. El no esta manejando su país correctamente. En mi perspectiva el no
quiere que Venezuela prospere. Tienen tanta petróleo pero no lo vende. Lo
regala!
Persona:
Padre McEnroe
Mural: Diego Rivera La Era de 1904 por Diego Rivera
En
los momentos políticos de nuestra época, todos tenemos ideas diferentes.
Algunos somos comunistas, socialistas o de diferentes
clases pero todos tenemos algo en común. Nuestra fe en el señor. Soy el Padre
McEnroe y soy un sacerdote. Creo en dios y dios solamente. No soy de la clase
alta o la clase media. Soy de la clase obrera para superar
nuestra patria. Soy el principal de la parroquia y algunos de mis
estudiantes son de la pocos recursos y los otros son de la clase alta. A veces
ay tensión entre los estudiantes pero con una charla, tenemos nuestra solución.
En nuestra época , estamos viviendo en Guerra.
Los comunistas y los socialistas están formando manifestaciones y
nuestra comunidad Cristiana esta tratando de traer mas Amistad en
nuestro pueblo. Cuando los momios quieren algo lo consiguen si los izquierdistas
no se oponen. Los privilegios que tienen los momios so mejores por que son de
una clase mayor. El padre conoce A Machuca y a Gonzalo. Machuca venia de una
familia muy pobre. No tenían una criada y tampoco. Al final de todo, el
se tenia que rendir. Al contrario Machuca venia de una familia de muchos recursos
tenían una criada y le gustaban la presidencia en el momento por
que tienen mejores oportunidades que los pobres no tenían. Los colores al
principio eran bien felices. Oseas tenían símbolos y mucha significación. Después
cuando el presidente Pinochet tomo poder, los colores eran gris.
Cuando
escuchamos de nuestro presidente, pensamos en el por que, como paso y por que
paso. El presidente Allende fue derrocado de su presidencia y Pinochet se puso
en cargo. Las ideas de la gente cambiaron por que los socialistas se
desaparecieron. Miles de personas, se desaparecieron. Los comunistas se
quedaron con todo el poder. En mi escuela perdí a todo los estudiantes que eran
de la familia socialista. Me pena mucho que perdí a estos muchachos importantes
que estaban en esta escuela. La parroquia no es de cristo por que perdió a
muchas personas que influyan a la comunidad positivamente. Con mucha tensión en
la familia, no se sabe como la parroquia va a terminar. Con esta comunidad
comunista, pienso que no va a ver un país mejor. Dios nuestro Señor estaba
en una situación similar en que estaba este país. Nuestro país quería mas que
esto. Obviamente, querían una familia perfecta y no la tenemos. Con el
presidente Pinochet perdimos esto. Nunca vamos a recuperarnos de este momento
si no tenemos a dios nuestro señor en nuestro corazón. Este país pensaba que
estaban en buenas manos con Pinochet, pero sorprendentemente, esta
comunidad no vivió con el presidente con mas de 50 años. Los socialistas no tenían
ningún tipo de seguridad ni tampoco la comunidad Chilena sabían de esos
muchachos. El estaba seguro de su decisión de desaparecer a una comunidad
socialista por que quería que la comunidad este unida por ser tan orgulloso.
Le hacia caso a las nececidades de los comunistas pero no le gusta mantenerse
en contacto con los socialistas. Despues de años, disimulaba con otros
paises que todo estaba normal en Chile. El estaba impresionando a los
otros paises que eran comunistas por que el lo que queria era poder! No tenia
corazon. ¿ El no se recordaba de lo que hizo. No tenia sentimientos.
Cuando murio del corazon, la comunidad Chileana se alegro. La comunidad
Catolica querian su puesto en la iglesia. Educaron a los estudiantes, tenian
muchas ganas. Pero lo que paso en este pais por decadas nunca se puede
superar.
Se
dice que la
comunidad esta en buenas manos con Pinochet y yo opino diferente. Creo que la
comunidad estaba en mejores manos con el presidente Allende. No estaba de
acuerdo con todas las decisiones que estos presidentes tomaron pero lo que se
es que el Presidente Allende era un lider mejor en los ojos de nuestro señor.
Nuestro comunidad Chilena estaba en mucha tension, discuciones y hasta en
guerras. En mis ojos, nunca nos vamos a superar de este incidente trajico.
En
mi barrio, la mayoría de la gente
son Puertorriqueños. Vivo en el norte de Filadelfia y el mural que e creado es maravilloso por muchas razones. Los propósitos de este mural serán que
mi comunidad se beneficiara del mural, tendremos una comunidad mas unida y también
muchas de las personas podrán
parar o pasar por ese mural y poder sonreír. Tendremos menos grafiti en nuestra region de la ciudad.
En
la comunidad en que quiero pintar el
mural tiene mucha influenza. Quiero pintar el mural esta ubicado en un Puente que pasa por la calle 2 y Clearfield. El
Puente es usado para caminar y para carros pasando por la calle.
Debajo de esa forma de arte publico había un tren que pasaba pero ahorra hay
gente sin hogar que abusan de las drogas. Pienso que mucha gente no saben lo
que esta pasando abajo del tren pero los que lo saben lo ocultan. Me contaron
que hasta los policías saben que están de abajo del Puente pero no hacen nada
para ayudar a los hombres que viven en ese lugar y después terminan abusando de
las mujeres que pasaban por el Puente de noche.
Ahorra
mas que nunca el barrio a donde vivo necesita una imagen para que la comunidad se alegre. En mi comunidad, mucha
gente vive como una familia y se consideran familia por que se an conocido por
mucho tiempo. En el barrio adonde vivo, hay mucho grafiti. No creo que es una
forma de arte publico si no vandalismo.
El barrio perdió algunos miembros que apreciaban eternamente. Mi mural tiene
flores que representa la felicidad de cada persona que vive en el barrio. Este
mural va a traer mucha felicidad. Mi mural tiene mucho sentido por que cuando
lo ves, vas a ver que tiene dos caminos. El camino largo y el corto.
El camino largo va a traer muchas flores para
la gente y también va a enseñar como mi barrio tiene muchas cosas que la gente
no reconoce. Flores blancas para las almas inocentes que están el cielo. Flores
de diferentes colores para ofrecerle a nuestra madre divina de la providencia
María. Le ofrecemos las flores para ayudarnos a estar sanos y también nos ayuda
estar mas seca de dios para que nos proteja siempre. Cuando el barrio vea este
mural van a inmediatamente ver que somos una comunidad no que tenemos que estar
separados si no unidos. El segundo camino es muchas flores rotas. Ese camino
representa alas cosas que no debemos de hacer. Un camino corto pero malo. Si lo
comparas con el camino largo, vas a ver que el camino corto no te va a traer
felicidad sino al contrario te va a traer muchos problemas en la vida. En lugar de marcas feas, debemos de tener un mural que le guste a todo el barrio.
Ramón Sanpedro era un tetrapléjico que vivía en una cama por 28 años. Cuando era joven, tuvo un accidente en el mar que causo esta condición horrible. El siempre estaba pensando en la eutanasia. El estaba buscando a un representante para que lo ayude a quitarse la vida pero en el país que el vive en es ilegal. España no soporta esa idea. Entonces, Ramón Sanpredo decidió ir contra la ley y con la ayuda de Rosa, (la mujer que ama a Ramón) el se quita la vida bebiendo un veneno que lo mata en minutos. La familia de Ramón está triste por que lo querían mucho. Su representante no lo represento por que lo amaba tanto pero al fin se olvido de el. No por querer eso si no por la condición medica que tenia Julia.
La pregunta que esta película presento fue si la Eutanasia en España pondrá ser legal. Hay un debate en el país por que algunos creen que debe de ser legal y otros no. Yo estoy de acuerdo con la ley que esta hoy en día y también con la gente que creen que la Eutanasia es inhumano por que la vida es sagrada. Nadie tiene el derecho de quitarle la vida a otros o a uno mismo por que Dios nos dio la vida y el es el único que tiene el derecho de quitarnos la vida. No es que el nos quita la vida por gusto si no por que nos quiere llevar a un lugar mejor. Cuando uno impone las creencias de otros, va a ver un debate polemico. Tambien, hay que respetar las decisiones de los demas aunque no tengan razon. Saber que Ramon se queria quitar la vida por su propia voluntad era otra razon por que la comunidad Catolíca le molesto mucho este tema.
The project was to create Guatemalan masks. The purpose of this mask was to put hat is noticeable about me on the outside and the least noticeable things in the inside. We had to write a 600-word essay, to explain us stating with the most obvious things to the least obvious things. My mask has a panda back round. It had ears and it is all black because pandas are my favorite animals. The face has two sides; a flower side and then a regular face with glitter. I love flowers and i love happy people and being happy. Glitter makes everything happier inn my opinion. Therefore, i added glitter to my mask. My mask also includes whiskers. Cats are pretty cool so I added some whiskers.
Me importante mucho mi familia. También me importa mis amigos y mis valores espirituales. Siempre tengo esas tres cosas ahora y para siempre. Tengo una familia talentosa. A todos nos gustan jugar voleibol por que es un deporte interesante y se necesita mucha confianza en su mismo y mucha determinación. Me encanta mucho estar con mi familia. Ellos siempre están cuando los recesitos. Especialmente mi madre. Ella siempre esta con migo cuando la necesito. Ella es muy divertida y por eso es que nos parecemos. Nosotras tenemos personalidades similares. Me gusta jugar voleibol, basquetbol y también tenis Mi familia completa también le gusta lo mismo. Lo digo por que cada vez que nos reunimos, estamos jugado tenis primero. Nos vamos a una cancha que contiene 2 mayas. Somos 8 que jugamos tenis y algunos nos vamos en los columpios. Cuando jugamos voleibol, estamos en otro mundo. Cancha llena siempre. Cuando la cancha esa en patee en el tercer juego, quinto punto, uno de los familiares de nosotros dicen 5 a ella. Y seguimos así hasta que lleguemos al otro punto que es el sexto después el séptimo y seguimos así hasta que terminemos el juego. Ahorra llego el basquetbol nosotros lo llamamos basket y jugamos escaleras al principio pero después es que empieza el juego verdadero.
También tengo un novio que no solamente es mi novio pero también es mi mayor amigo. El es parte de la familia por que el siempre esta con la mia. Mi familia tiene las dos. Creo mucho en igualdad y en la paz, y no me gusta el maltrato. Creo que todos de vemos de tratarnos con respeto. Trato de evitar la violencia y por eso es que creo en la paz. Por eso es que ayudo en la iglesia. Ayudando los niños y dándole respecto. Mi familia es Católica. Tengo muchas ganas de aprender de mis antepasados. Por eso me va la misa todos los domingos por que mucho de mi familia va a la misa y después me explican de mi religión. Creo mucho en mi religión y valoro mucho a mi familia. Por eso es que voy al grupo de jóvenes y también paso mucho tiempo con mi familia. Por eso es que voy a la misa todos los domingos y grupo de jóvenes.
En el futuro, quisiera ser maestra, enfermera, o doctora. Me molesta mucho la mentiras por que después no le tendría confianza en mucha persona. No creo en una persona perfecta pero una persona ideal. Sueño con ser doctora y ayudar a los niños que tienen problemas severos. Tengo miedo de los peros grandes. ¡Me siento feliz cuando estoy con mi familia en navidad! Cantamos bailamos, y siempre estamos juntos. ¡La familia siempre es primero en la navidad! Nos reunimos y después nos vamos en parranda. Mi vida es alegre y siempre interesante. Valoro mi familia y mi religión. son las dos cosas que de verdad son importantes para mi.
