Welcome back students! How was your holiday? Again I want to say thank you for an exciting birthday party, your many well-wishes and greeting card, and your gifts. You may my day! tuesday evening my Grandson who is turning six came over to celebrate with his mother (My daughter). My wife made chicken pot pie. Yesterday the rest of the family arrived. I hung out the American flag for Veterans' day and we talked and laughed together all evening. Carolyn, my wife fired pork chops and baked a chocolate cake. We opened my gifts, books and gift to Barnes and Noble bookstore. We ended the evening playing a game with the grandkids and then sent everyone off with hugs and kisses. It was a wonderful time and made a bank of memories.
Grandmother and Grandfather have been living together for 57 years. Their relationship has been good, even though in the last years it wasn't easy for Grandma, because she has to do her chores and take care of Grandpa. He is a diabetic. Sometimes I feel sad because they live alone and I can't do very much for them. When I was a child they took care of me for 2 years, and I have appreciated that. I will never forget it. Honestly I do not remember that they may have had fights. Now I can't say if they are happy or unhappy, because it is almost 14 years that I have not seen them. But something that I can corroborate is that they have tried to do the best for us, and they continue together. In conclusion, I consider that they have done a good job, and I am sure love lives in their hearts...
- Form a more perfect union.
- Insure domestic tranquility.
- Provide for the common defense.
- Promote the general welfare (well-being).
- Secure the blessings.
Supervise people is not an easy labor, it requires concentration and dedication because any case is individual and the main reason is because any person have different points and they should be managed cautiously. In my experience, dialogue is an excellent vehicle to accomplish the union of a crew. Always you must expect to provide assistence to any element of the crew. Keeping a secure place provides trust and for consecuence it can implement their performance. Usually a worker who enjoys his activities seldom argue with coworkers. Don't mix personal problems with job is essential to avoid confrontations. In general following rules will provide succes. Finally in my opinion armony provides our welfare.
God bless my job...
It's my source to survive...
Is The American dream a reality or a myth?
For years people have been coming from any country of the world to The United States, and only one reason brings them. What is it...?
Someone once asked me: Would you like to sweep up dollars?
Obviously my answer was yes, how would I do it ?, I asked. For a moment I tought this guy was crazy. Then he told me just to walk north, and that on the other side of the border I would find a lot of money easily, but he never mentioned the cost of this. My friend heard this conversation and tought it was an excellent opportunity. I had little money saved, and he had nothing, even so we decided to do it. The next morning we boarded a bus and after 32 hours we reached the border. We ate there and bought water, after that we hired a "Coyote", he told us it would be easy to cross the desert, he lied to us. Crossing the desert is like putting a gun to your head with one bullet, temperatures there are deadly. I carried in my backpack some candy, beef jerky, paper and a pencil. We walked for 12 hours and the heat was terrible, we only carried 3 gallons of water, these were finished after 6 hours. The thirst was killing me and I started to hallucinate, I felt that the end was near. I asked them to give me a few minutes to write this letter and they agreed to it. If you are reading this letter, you will understand that these were my last words, and that means that my friend survived. I died, and never knew if The American Dream was reality or myth. What is your experience?
Was it true what that man told me?
Could you sweep up dollars?
Fire, Sand, Air and Water are the four elements that can give life or devastation. During years science has studied natural disasters and their behavior but sometimes science and technology can't predict how destructive they can be. Human must respect natural disasters' power, because in seconds they can be lethal and fatalities will be regreted. On September 8 of 1900, a powerful hurricane made landfall in Galveston, Texas, nobody couldn't imagine what would come. Winds of 135 miles per hour would bring around to 8,000 fatalities. It is considerated the biggest natural disaster in The United States history. Katrina the most recent event that left a stigma in The United States. 1,800 were killed, it is nothing compared with the disaster of Galveston. It is referred by Galveston locals as The Great Storm or The 1900 Storm. A lot of natural disasters have occurred in the world, so it is reason to reflect and never challenge nature, it is a source of life, but also can exterminate us...
