Dreams

Scientists have long wondered why we sleep and why we dream. A new study provides evidence for some long held notions that sleep and dreams boost learning and help us to make sense of the real world. Even naps can help, the researchers found. Dreams can rock us, scare us, and in some cases, inspire us. Some people used to believe that dreams simply reflected the random firing of nerve signals while we sleep. "The thinking was that the dreams were meaningless and didn't serve any function at all," says Harvard. I found this in a book in was reading. "Dreams can provide inspiration or help you get unstuck from problems because your mind is working on things in this different way," Finding the meaning in your dreams is like growing a garden, the pros say: The more you do it, the greater the insights it yields. "If you're regularly tending your dreams, once in a while you'll have a breakthrough that grabs you by the throat,". Thers a son that talks and express dreams with felings.

So making the dream assigment it was so succesfull, because i really dream a lot. But most of the times i don't remember what i dream about. Do making this and expressing it in my journal helped me alot, because throught writting what remember helped with the other parts i for got off. My journal has been really great, because it helped you realized a lot of things that you my not remember or things that you though you never think off. So making this helped me realized that you never for anything, that you just need to start from where you started your dream and trying to complete the puzzle. When you start making you will realized that you remembered everything as you dream it.

My experience with the "Blogs Reflection"

This experience about having a blog has been really great, this is my first time writing about my things and expressing what i feel. At the begining i din't like the idea of writing your opinion about experience you had. But during the semester i think than making blogs has helped me on my writings, expressing my self and sepecially felling free when i write. Because trought writing you say things that you never imagine that you could say or write. It feels like a conection to youre brain, because the more you write, the more you express your self. It's like a bond between this two that it's hard to explain. It's a felling that the more you write the more you get inspire. Some times it's hard expressing youre self in another language that you are not use to. It's obvious that spanish is better and essear, but english hasn't been so bad after all.

Writing blogs has helped me as a person, because i've been learnig so much. You learn trought wrting and reading. That helps you grew youre knlowedge and helps you as a person. To me writing can inspire you to great things and makes you do realiza that you have th skills to create new things. I started felling pleasure trought the time writing this blogs, because there is a time when you can't stop writing and you just write and write. Even if you have mistakes you keep writing and it feels so good.  I know that i still have to learn and practice my writing, but that doesn't change that i like writing so bad.

Group experience "The Curious travelers"

My group and I are called the "Curious Travelers" what can i say about them? I love my team mates, we had creat more than a group a little family. We all get along and we love sharing our things with each other. The thinngs that holds us or we can said that keeps us together or bond is oure sincerity. And the fact that we allways helpe each other in everything. That if some needs something I know that any one will say yes. I truly like my group also because we are very expressive and we say everything.

I remember that at the beginig i was not to happy about the group situation, because i had bad experience with others group an i din't want to happend again. But since the time pass i really loved the idea of it, because i had learned alot with the and also learned with each and one of us. I love the fact that if i don't understand something they can all helped me so everyone in the group. My biggest and horrible thing that i din't want to do was the oral presentations. That was my biggest issuse. They helped me alot getting true that, because it really scared me and i din't know why. I like the fact that they were by my side, because  i knew if i made a mistake i had them there with me and helped me. They also made my fell save or confident by my self. So i think that i progress alot with them. I really appriciate them for everything. I can also say that we all learned something from each other, because that is what the group was. And it really worked very well.
The "Curious Travelers" was the best group i had in my intere semester i can say in the two years i've been in college.

My Day as a Tourist

In my day as a tourist i visited "The Old San Juan", because i think that this is the place that is most visited by tourist and has the story of Puerto Rico. So i went on a saturday, because was my only  day free and i decided to take my mom and my little sister. At the begining it was really funny, because we din't know what to say and we are also a little shy. When we were thinking my mom and I where trying to some how look like tourist and then she came out with the idea to take my sister because she looks american. Cause people here have this concepts, that if you have blue eyes and blonde hair, your from United States. The thing that we din't worry about was the english, because my mom is from New York, My sister is in American School and I know english since little. That menas that we can speak it very well. So when we had everything planed, we started the tourist adventure.

The three of us where walking to "El Morro", were people flight kites and alot of people sit to relax or just simply take pictures. As we all walked we saw to mens sitting on table playing "dominos" and they were talking and having a great time. So my mom and I looked at each other and we knew that there was oure oportunitty to make the tourist assigment. When we were walking to get to the old mens they new that we were hating to them, because they got nervious and scared. The three of us were trying not to laught. So when we got to them we asked them if they kwen about a little store that we could shop. The old mens got nervous and they din't know what to say they were pointing each other an saying:" asked him  asked him" and then my sister started laughing and we told them that it was an assigment that we were from here. They laught and say:" thanks God, because we don't know english".

Exploring in my day as I tourist a say othering in this guys with us, by the way they treat us and the way they looked at us. The out group, because if we were reall americans they will fell bad about the situation that they were refusing us. I also say thats identity is really important in this assigment because every one is different and we can not be ashamed were we come from. We need to be proud no matter how people treat us we can't change who we are.




The Rum Diary



This film was based on Hunter S. Thompson book. I really like this movie, because it show us the world in wich we are living in. in this one talks about Puerto Rico goberment, culture and society. Its really important that we educate oure self seeing movies about Puerto Rico or the place youve been born, because we need to now the storie and roots were we come from. Seeing this movie show us the importance to know about oure society, because we see everything based on true storie in here. Its better to see it in the movie, because we could visualised it better. in this movie we saw a lot of othering betwenn diferent cultures, out group and in group too.

The movie started during 1970´s narrated by Paul Kemp that was the main character. So it started by Johnny Depp arriving to Puerto Rico. He was going to work for the local news paper, writer. Johnny had like a boss that hes name was Sanderson. He gave Johnny the work of the tourist and he had to go all over the island an explore. Johnny dint find it so interesting at first, because he just wanted to write not visiting. Sanderson is the one that makes othering with the natives of the island. He also makes them fill like if they were not part of their island, because he treats them like if they were nothing. Paul had alcoholic problems and he always was in trouble. I think that they taught because they had money had power and can do what ever they wanted to. This are examples of out group and in group. Because you don't fit in the same group of people you are suround, for some reasons. In their case was the ambicious and the fact that they thought they had power.

This movie helped me visualize the perspective of the american people and how they see people with bit money, some poors like nothing. We do not see this kind of stuff only in Puerto Rico we see it all over the world.

Perspective on "Down on the Island"

After reading "Down the Isalnd " by Jim Cooper I started thinking about my education and wondering what it will be of me, If i din't had the education I had? The things i learned more were spanish, ciencie and social story. Because in math i din't had professor on hight, we always were doing sustitutions. By the fact we were so bored of the sustitutions that we just to copy the excersise wrong so that the teacher singned us the notebook. My english is good because my family lives in the United States and i use to visited them on the summers. My school was horrible on english. I mean the teacher they had din't had the skills to teach the students. So I can say that can speack it well, but my righting... Yes ! I need helpe some times. But after all i fell good, because i know that i can defende my self, and i love talking in english.

On chapter one Cooper was really impress how alot of students din't know english or they din't care about it. He saw how hard was to us to learn another language, because we see here that they don't care. I like the fact that he visited public schools and see how they were teaching. But it is a chaim how the education in Puerto Rico is afecting us in a future. Because what we learned now a day  it's what we are going to teach our future people. And every day it's worst. On the esconde chapter he talks about the copy cat, and how students live based on that. You know, it's hard some times getting use to some structure that we din't learned about. A can talk about that, because i went trought that on my school with my match class. I'm not saying that we copied in test by on the sustitutions we were supposed to the, well yes. Or most of the time we haded all wrong just to have the profesor signature. The part he talks about how students, helpe each other thats really true. But that doesn't mean that we copied. Cause I had done that with my friends but we discuss to theme or the work and then we put different stuff. I know that other people to helped others that does not no the language gives them the work. Because I have done that, and we do it because we do not want  that people to get a bad grade on his class or fail. We do it because we know that we can helped them to come out good or just to be good friends.
