"Childhood Obesity"
Did you know the statistics about children with obesity? 18% percent of children are facing this problem. This is important because obesity is a real problem that is causing problems for children. Being overweight affects children’s health and the society is worried about it. Nowadays obesity is causing serious problems in children and affecting their health in some ways. For example, is easily get any disease at the same time children are more prone to low self-esteem, it means psychological and social problems. Some researchers that are show this problem is in Puerto Rico and talks about that parent could be fined if this is still happen. This essay will describe proposed solutions to the problem of childhood obesity. Finally, this essay will propose the best solution and explain its benefit.
The government in Puerto Rico has proposed a controversial solution to childhood obesity. According to the article "Local Governments Seek To Reduce Obesity to Kids" by Kimberley Leonard and “Experts Appalled by Puerto Rican Bill to Fine Parents of Obese Children" by Sydney Lupkin both articles have a plan to reduce this. Lawmakers in Puerto Rico are planning fine for those parents who don’t care the weight of their child. They can be fined $500 because children have to be healthy and with a good health but if this is still happen this would increase up to $800 because parents have to show how their child is losing weight. Lawmakers are proposing ways to child can be healthy because children can get any disease like diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood of pressure, social and psychological problems. In addition, in Puerto Rico childhood obesity is increasing each year and now is up that’s 30% why the government is worried about teenagers. They have to be conscious to do more things healthy and eat in appropriate way. Finally, in Puerto Rico the opposite side is disagree with this penalty because they think is something strong to be fined for this they don't know what is going to happen next maybe going to prison for this or something worst that’s why children in overweight choose how they want to be because their parents have to be worry for this controversial problem.
Some solutions to prevent this disease is change the dietary habits because children have to eat their 3 meals per day but the last meal has to be short (no too much) because when someone eats too much at night, you can get more calories. The best way to prevent childhood obesity is eat more meals a day but the last food it has to be little and doing exercise. According to my classmate, she found an article online and it says. It’s not very easy to decrease the value of you food obese children so make them feel full than they will not find extra food for themselves. In my personal experience I think be healthy is the best way to take care our body because when I was in high school, all that I saw in lunch was junk food supposed to be healthy food but it wasn't all the food were nuggets, pizza, French fries, and others things that wasn't good for my health I didn't like to receive my lunch like that because I know it’s not good for me that’s why I don't used to eat when I had lunch. Some solutions it would be if they do meetings or change that food in lunch for healthy food because children are in schools like 8 hours every day so they spent most days in schools and it’s important for them eat healthy because they are under responsibility for children. For example, I mostly spend my days in school and I know I have to eat healthy because I didn’t want to be fat i just follow my deity everyday if I eat too much I need to take the control of it. In addition, sometimes I do exercise because is important for my body, movement my muscles is good for a good way we should do exercise sometimes.
In conclusion there are so many reasons to prevent childhood obesity. In future we don’t know when we are going to be sick for this disease. It could increase each year and that’s bad for children because they are going too affected easily. Nowadays we can go to a nutritionist to help us and give some deity for every day.

Happy
Are you happy? If your answer is yes, why are you happy? What do you do to be happy? Happiness is something relates with life, you should be happy every single day and smile for no reason. You have to enjoy that moment because you are alive. According to the film Happy by Roko Belie, this film is about how people live in reality life what they actually do to be happy. One researcher claims “happiness” is 50% genetic, 40% circumstances and 10% “intentional activity”. Genetic means from parents, circumstances means personal experiences, health, beliefs, and intentional activity is what you have want to do in life. This essay will be about happiness that it shows in the book Until I say Good Bye By Susan Spencer and cases for be happy in life.
I agree with this quote because in life we have to be happy no matter what. The book Until I Say Good Bye by Susan Spencer is about the author’s life and also relates how to be happy in life. Susan is telling us her story and how she knows where she comes from because she is adopted. In one chapter she is looking for her birth parents she wants to know them and she wants to know if her disease is hereditary because she doesn't want that her children inherited this disease. When she met her birth parents she was so strange and nervous because it was a difficult moment to reunite with them but she did it for her disease. She was adoptive for circumstances of life she didn't decide to be adoptive but she is really thankful for her adoptive parents. In addition, Susan describes how to be happy and she enjoys her life with her family and her best friend. For example, once time when the doctor told her about her disease she though it was the end, but in reality she was thankful because she has so much in life, her children, husband, good job, everything, so she decided to take some trips with them to enjoy and spend time with them because all memories will be in her heart forever that’s why she wants to do everything before she die. Secondly, she wants to spend time with her best friend Nancy, they are planning to see the Northern lights because it’s an amazing place to meet there are no words to describe it. Susan and Nancy wants to see the lights in the sky that most people say its amazing lights but unfortunately they didn't see the lights but they didn't have a problem if they didn't see the light they just enjoy together, doing many things together, and talking about life it was the moment that she enjoys her experiences were so good.
In my personal opinion I think happiness is the most beautiful thing that you have in life is a precious and you have to value this for many reasons no matter what circumstances you have to keep it up. I can relate this with my life because when I was little I didn’t that my dad travel to the United States and growing up without dad just life decide for us. When my dad came to US for the first time it was difficult for us because everything was different I had five years old, and my dad used to call to my house, but I didn't want to call with him because it was no easy for me that he is in another country but I did it. After that I came to the United States and now I live with him and it’s good because now we are enjoying the time that we didn't spend when I was little. My experiences with my dad and also the beliefs are good because we know each other more.
The key for my happiness in my future will be complete my 3 goals. My first goal in life is graduating from college with my career and also with a good job it’s a purpose that I have for my future. This is one of my goals because I want my parents feel proud of me is great when your parents talk with your family feeling proudly of you , also I want to be happy for that way. My second goal, is becoming citizenship of this country because I want to bring my mom and my little brother to this country is going to be wonderful to have my family here because we can realize many trips as a family now the problem is the distance but I know my mom will be with me every moment for me, but in future we will be together and spend time doing many things. My third goal is create my own family and do my best raisin them and be good as a professional. I don’t want that my own family get problems as I do I want them to be happy enjoy every single moment because be happy is good for us and make feel try to do my best because I want to be a better person with a good career and my family feel proud of me. There are 3 goals that I want to do for my future. It’s no easy to overcome the obstacles of life because you always will have many problems while you want to get something that is no easy I have to work so hard and get what I want to be.
In conclusion, I already explain what happiness is and what kind of happiness we can get in life. In the book Susan shows her happiness is not the same like in the film. There are two different kinds of situation so during her trips she describes what she feel and what she does for be happy and in the film they show what people do for be happy. Some situations are not the same because everybody makes her o his happiness by their own. Happiness will be always in your hearth.

Question #2
I think being in the birth order is difficult sometimes mostly if you are the oldest one for
many reasons. First of all, when you are the oldest child requires more responsibilities.
According to Pamela Withers, she said “the oldest become a perfectionist and worrier who finds
it difficult to take criticism or tolerate others mistake. It means when someone is the oldest his or
her responsibilities is more than others because they have to try to be perfect without any mistake
and be a good role model for the little one. In addition, the writer also said “The more
independent and domineering he or she is and the more difficult it may be for him or her to find a
suitable mate”. I agree with this quote because sometimes is difficult to find someone like you
because you role is to be there all the time you always care about other, also your responsibilities
each time is more, it is not the same like others. Being the oldest child is difficult your role is
completely different to your little brothers you have to be conscious what you do and your
parents are strict to you. Finally, your parents take care as the same way that you have to care to
the little one, they prepared you to do the same without mistakes and be a good model for them.

Mid Term Essay
This half of semester we improved many things it wasn’t similar like my last semester because everybody knows more, and it’s a high level. We learned a lot of grammar, reading, writing, and also we attended to some conferences because we read the book, Until I say Good Bye by Susan Spencer. This half of semester I improved more my writing because we wrote two long essays called Childhood Obesity and Happiness. These two essays help me a lot because I got some problems with run on sentences and also help me with my grammar in some cases my professor help me with my errors, but I know I’m going to have a little errors in this other half of semester. This essay will be about and describe what we did this half of semester, and what I’m going to improve the second half of the semester.
First of all, this semester our class participated in the QCC Campus Common Read.” This common read was about the book that we read Until I say Good Bye by Susan Spencer it was so helpful for our class because we didn’t know what is going to happen there, but once time that we went there we were impressed because I think it was a first time that my classmates attended there. When we went there we heard some voices about the theme of theme that is “Empathy” and also she said “Pay Forward.” The purpose of this common read was that everybody has a problem but they faced in many ways. The book was interesting for me because the main character was brave to face all obstacles in her life. Some of the events that we attended were movies, debate, know more about ALS, and lectures. One event that it was interesting for me was ALS. One day I attended there that students from nursing were explain what this disease is and how it comes from. Also, they were explain what that’s consequences are and if this is inherited. Finally it was interesting because they have some pictures and they gave us some flyers to know more about it.
In addition to participating in the Common Reading, we wrote about ALS and be conscious that life isn’t perfect, but you can overcome every obstacle that life can give you. Moreover, we learned grammar we used a book to know more about what errors we do when we write some paragraphs or essays. However, we used a book called Ten Steps this book is about vocabulary, how to pronounce a word and also help us to increase our vocabulary in class, we did some practices and it's evaluated by us. We also, used the book Write to be Read, but this book we also are going to use this other half of semester and it really help for uf.
This other half of semester I want to improve more. For example, this semester I have to do better with my grammar and my writing because I am going to take the replacement test and I have to do better each day. Secondly, my grammar is no to bad at all, but I want to improve more because this will be help for me when I'm going back to college. My goal for this semester, is read more each day because is good for me to understand more some lectures or read more articles, newspapers, etc. This half of semester it will be my last semester and CLIP is really helpful for me.

Friendship and Kinship
Do you know why friendship and kinship are different? This relationship could affect relatives and friendship. Both cases are different because of loyalty, family, and obligations being part of the family. This essay will be about the differences between friendship and kinship for three important reasons: One is the situation that you made between family and friends, time life and temporary friends, and emotional elements.
When someone makes friend is totally different with relatives because the situation change at all between friends and family. First of all, kinship means that you born with relatives in contrast to friendship that you make for your own, sometimes it will be affect the situation to family and friends is not the same at all because you never know before your friends is what you make for your own but family you know at least. The situation change when you trait to do something with your family, sometimes you feel comfortable but in others cases don’t it depends how you feel between these kind of situation. In addition, you make friends, or you met them in high school or some places that you never see before, but with your family you born like that and they will be with you for the rest of your life. Someone wants to know you more and hurt you for different reason might be they don’t like you and also includes some part of family. However, sometimes is difficult the relationship with your family because you prefer to trust on your friends than your family it depends how they are going to trait you. In some cases people do better things with family because family comes first. For example, in my case when I went to Peru I spent too much time with my family than my friends because my mom live there and also part of her family live there, I decided to enjoy with them but when I came for the first time here I lived with my aunt and is not the same to live with someone that you love like mom or dad or someone who raisin you. For instance, I have the opportunity to meet really good friends and feel more comfortable with them. Sometimes is difficult to find really good friends and be there for you as a family.
Family will be with you every moment in your life and friends will be temporary. Firstly, this happens because friends are just for the moment but family will be staying every single moment in your life. For example, if something bad happen to you, your family will be there for any reason but a friend can be there whenever he or she wants. No necessary every moment because family will be in the deepest and good moments if you met someone like this it will be good because is not easy to find a really good friends.
Your relatives can do better than friends this is depends how you feel good or bad with family or friends, the feelings can change depend the situation that you are. I remembered that I read one article talked about friendship and relatives mean that not everybody is the same because the importance of this is how you feel with them. Family try to do better than anything in life and friends is just for spend time or temporary but if someone has a real friend and if you know someone more than 7 years and is your friend he or she will be with you in every moment in your life that is a real friend.

CATW #1
Do you know the amount of people who exercise at least 20 minutes? According to this article is a small group of people who try to do better and be healthy for themselves. This article talked about that people have to do at least 20 minutes of exercise like walking, aerobic, or playing any sports because there will affect your health as a consequence of this you will be in overweight or have health problems mostly in children. It says that mostly 18 years old boys join to the army they should be exercise and have a good trainer to be healthy. This essay will be about the cause causes if you don't exercise, the consequences and one method to overcome this problem.
If someone doesn't do exercise at least twenty minutes this person will have some problems in his or her future. I read one article that talked about children who are overweight and it was incredible how people live with this problem. Everybody should be exercise and eat healthy. Fist of all, teenagers whet grown up they try to have a better body or fitness such as to be on point to show their body to other people. In addition, to this, in some cases like children in overweight mostly parents are responsible about children because nowadays are increasing the obese of child that's whys they have to do more exercise to be health and don't run any risk to get sick in a future. However, in teenagers the situation will change completely because they want to look good at all so they try to do exercise each day when they join some club it is really helpful for them,
When a teenager tries to look with his or her exercise and healthy body is good because he or she takes care of their own body. For example, I have one friend that in the past she looked fat and she realized that in every meal that she ate before was so bad for her body, so while she was growing up she found on internet a really good program on internet.

Why do people work?
Why do people work? What makes people work? Nowadays many people have to work because is not only to make money, but sometimes they have to do that for many reasons. In some cases is difficult when they work because they spend more time working instead doing other things. I will explain more in the next following paragraphs some reasons what people have to work such as social environment, opportunity to develop their skills and opinions.
Most people want to improve their skill they work to develop them. They want to get some experience to face in life. Firstly, when someone is in college they have to get some experiences about his or her major because if someone hasn’t experiences about what they are studying is difficult to get a good job because is not easy to improve your skills. For example, if you finish college and you had never had any job about your career it will be difficult because with no experience no companies are going to accept you. In addition, this can help teenagers because in high school there is a program called summer jobs. This program is for students to develop their skills in some ways, this is really helpful because if you got experiences it will be easy to get a job. Finally, people want to try new things because one job is not forever because they will have different kinds of job and more experiences to increase her or his knowledge.
People want to try to do better things for the environment or get new experiences such as share with other people and feel that is good for the world. For example, sometimes celebrities are traveling to other country to make the world happy, and to donate people who are in the poverty. In addition, when celebrities donate money poor people can have a better life in other cases is good for others because they feel more comfortable with life. However, celebrities don’t work just for make money they think about others because they want to feel good for themselves or sometimes there is a simple person who wants to work to help others like being social work its good because they are trying to help others.
In other cases people have to work for personal reasons, might be they are forced to work to help his or her family for the better future. For example in my case, I have to work because I need to help my dad to pay the bills because it is not fair that he only pay the household expenses. I help him with some of them because we want to do better for our future and save money for other things. Sometimes is not easy for both because we are trying to do better each day. There are other cases for people are forced to work. I have one friend that she works full time and study full time; it’s not easy for her because her time is divided like she works from 7:30 to 4 pm then she has to go to college and keep study she helps her family because her dad does not help them in any way that’s why she works, she helps her mom with some bills and also she paid her own college she does not receive financial aid so she paid for her classes. May be there are many cases that people work is not only to make money but if they work for make money they are wrong, because is not the only problem in the world. Even though, some people are working to help their family; in some cases they are doing this for they own happiness.
In conclusion, people work not only to make money; there are others things why they have to work. It can help to develop their skills as a worker, it helps where they live and they are trying to do better every single day. People face many things in life that’s why they work hard to get what they want.

According to Help Graduates Find Jobs by Jean Fitz some students who graduated from college won’t be able to find a job. In some colleges they help you at all because they find the way to improve your skills and develop your knowledge for your future job. Fitz also said that in Wisconsin some colleges have a new development system that means you’re able to improve your capacity about what did you learn in college. In the following paragraphs I will explain more about why do you have to develop your skills in college, how do you get more experience and what do you have from this experience.
Most people said that if you are in college you have to get experience about what you will do in future or where you will work. First of all, when I was in high school I was taking psychologist class. My teacher gave us an article about work and how will find a good method to develop our skills. One time my teacher gave us an article and everyone was surprised because we read that most people who graduated from college and have a good major can’t find job because they don’t have any experience. Most companies are looking for experienced people who have capacity to do most things without mistakes because they want to grow as a company not bank up. If someone has not worked before, it is difficult to find a job because you has never developed your skill as a college student. You just prepare taking test or study but not ready to improve capacity in your job.
I remember that one my dad told me that I have to study a major hat will be good for me and also have experience that no one else has such as nursing or physical therapy. Nowadays needs more nurse instead accounting, lawyer, etc. because most people are studying those major that is common. It is not good because you will not find a way to improve your capacity; my dad told me a story about his friend. He said that his friend studied accounting and once he graduated from college, he didn’t find a job because while he was studied he never practiced. Time later he go back to college and diced to study nurse because he also like to be that and he realized that in his classes there are practices he went to hospitals and also senior care. His friend told us that is good if you practice in some ways your career because one time you get off from college no one will find you a job you have to do it by yourself Nowadays, some colleges has changed their method of study.
In conclusion, we find some ideas to get more experiences and also to be enable the ability to improve our skills. While someone is study it could improve tour knowledge development doing workshops or helping programs because you gain more experiences than doing nothing for your major.
