SINGLES
Singles is a kind of romantic movie, where the protagonist characters couples, their names are Linda, the female character, and Steven the male character. The secondary characters are Janet and her boyfriend Cliff, who is a singer and has a rock band. The plot of the movie focused on the relationship of Linda and Steven and their environment. It was influenced by the secondary characters, whose live and relationships had the similar problems. Sometimes it is important too because of the attitudes of their characters in the movie. The ending of the movie was a kind of final that the majority wish for because triumphed the love.
Linda is a kind of woman who owns to upper middle class. She has a beautiful house with a parking space only for herself. She had a happy life living there. The movie started with Linda. She was thinking about her comfortable life. She was looking dogs in cages, and a person, Luis tried to catch her attention. However, she ignored him. Another occasion, when her car had problems, he solved it. From then, on they started to date and become sweethearts. She trusted in him, and she gave him her garage door. Luis told her that he has a visa, which let him to be in her country five years but he had to go back to Spain. As a proof of his love for her, he gave her a ring, and promised her that he would come back for her. Then they would get married. She was happy with his promise and sad at the same time because he went. Linda looked for her best friend Ruth and trusted her with this news. They went to the disco to dance one night, there, they found Luis with another women. His lie broke her heart.
Steve is a male protagonist. He is a professional who has an important job as a transportation official. One day he was thinking about his life and his relationship. One night Steve and his friend went to the disco. There was a concert of Cliff’s rock band, and there discovered Linda. He wanted to talk with her, but she rejected him. Steve invited Linda to go out and talk with him, but she said no, I am going home now. Outside of the disco, they met again and became friends. Next day, Steve called her and invited to have lunch, and she accepted. It helped them to become closer friends. They went to Steve’s apartment; and they spend the time talking about each other life and relationships. Steve filled her in about whom his neighbors are. Linda left Steve’s apartment, he wanted to give her the parking control, if she want to come back but she remembered what happened with her last boyfriend Luis, then she refused it. Linda went to her apartment and Steve followed her.
Janet was waiting for a call from her boyfriend Cliff, but he did not do it. She decided to go to Cliff’s home, there they were talking about their relationship, also she wanted to be pleasant and asked him about if her bra size is small, he answered sometimes.” “He really did not give her his real attention. Janet went to the doctor for get information to improve her bras’ size. Janet had another appointment with the bras’ doctor; he told her that she did not need this operation because her bras were almost in perfect size, and it is not her problem. It is her boyfriend’s problem. Probably he does not love her. She was confused about what the doctor told her, also, he filled in that he had feelings for her. He wanted to kiss her as a confirmation. However, she did not correspond to him. They had a large conversation, and finally Janet was agreed with her doctor about her breast ‘size. She went to Cliff’s apartment, and she tried to catch his attention, but Cliff continued ignoring her. Janet made a decision to end their relationship.
The relationship between Steve and Linda was improving, they were spending the time together, and she informed him that she was pregnant. He was happy with this new and decided to get married Linda. One day, they were in the car. She was driving it, but she distracted and they had an accident. Because of the accident, she lost her baby, and her personality was destroyed for it. Steve gave her console, but it not was sufficient. Linda told Steve that she wanted to take vacation. She wanted to go to a quiet place like sea because she wanted to think. When she returned, she felt good enough to continue with her life. Steve was waiting for her. She made a decision to be only friends with Steve. She thought that she lost their baby, so they did not have reason to be together. Steve loved Linda yet, one night, he made a phone call but she was not home. He left a message that he still loved her, and please call me back. When Linda returned home, she went to phone machine. There she realized that the tape was broken, so she could not listen to Steve’s message. Steve was desperate because Linda did not call back to him, and to make it worse his subway proposal project was rejected. He joked himself in his apartment, and he received a visit from Janet, she go in through the window. They were talking for a while, she left and made a promise that the next visit she would knock on his door three times. A couple days later, somebody knocked on the door three times, and when he opened his door, there was Linda. Steve asked her why she did not call back. He was happy. They got back together. At the same time that Cliff looked for Janet, they were happy too.
I always liked the romantic movie because of the ending of romantic movies is always the love, which overcomes all obstacles. In this, movie the evil character was Luis, but his bad behavior did not alter the life of the others characters. The ending of the movie is at the same time the beginning of the life of Steve and Linda as a couple. They were adult persons who had so much in common, and they complemented each other.

THE JOHN LENNON'S IMAGINE ALBUM

THE JOHN LENNON’S IMAGINE ALBUM
Imagine is John Lennon’s second solo album, and it is considered the most popular of his solo works. It was released in 1971 and has ten songs, each one with message. One of them was dedicated to his wife, who was his muse of inspiration. It was the most commercial album that he released.
All songs by John Lennon, except I Don’t Wanna Be a Soldier Mama
Imagine
Crippled Inside
Jealous Guy
It's So Hard
I Don't Wanna Be a Soldier Mama I Don't Wanna Die
Glimmer Some Truth
Oh My Love
How Do You Sleep?
How?
Oh Yoko!
1.- IMAGINE
Imagine there’s no heavenIt’s easy if you tryNo hell below usAbove us only skyImagine all the peopleLiving for today... Imagine there’s no countriesIt isn’t hard to doNothing to kill or die forAnd no religion tooImagine all the peopleLiving life in peace... You may say I’m a dreamerBut I’m not the only oneI hope someday you’ll join usAnd the world will be as one Imagine no possessionsI wonder if you canNo need for greed or hungerA brotherhood of manImagine all the peopleSharing all the world... You may say I’m a dreamerBut I’m not the only oneI hope someday you’ll join usAnd the world will live as one.
The songs lyrics have been partly inspired from Yoko Ono’s roots poetry in connection with her childhood in Japan during The Second World War. She is a living testimony from the war. The lyrical content of "Imagine" was just what John dreamed that we are all one country, one world, and one family. Imagine all the people living life in peace. Imagine is a controversial song, which message was considerate like anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, anti-conventional, and anti-capitalistic. For me, the song lyrics are like a paradise. I think that John Lennon tried to get reflection from the politics and rich people around the world about the war. Wars only destroy the world. The reason is no political, the real reason is money, and in many cases, it is personal. They must not have to spend the money on war, while many children are in the world with bad nourish, without medication, without schools, and without education. The industrialized countries have to improve the life quality of population of unindustrialized countries. They have to distribute their money with poor people. The rich countries have to worry about the poor countries. The man must not be a wolf of other men. We can live in peace because the man invented the countries, and put the limits and frontiers. God created us free.
2.- OH YOKO
In the middle of the night,In the middle of the night I call your name,Oh Yoko,Oh Yoko,My love will turn you on,In the middle of the bath,In the middle of the bath I call your name,Oh Yoko,Oh Yoko,My love will turn you on,In the middle of a shave,In the middle of a shave I call your name,Oh Yoko,Oh Yoko,My love will turn you on,In the middle of a dream,In the middle of a dream I call your name,Oh Yoko,Oh Yoko,My love will turn you on,In the middle of a cloud,In the middle of a cloud I call your name,Oh Yoko,Oh Yoko,My love will turn you on,Oh Yoko,Oh Yoko,Oh Yoko,Oh Yoko,Oh Yoko.
Oh Yoko is a 1971 song, written and performed by John Lennon in the album Imagine, and is in the greatest hits compilation. In this song, John Lennon sings to his wife. He expresses his strong feelings through the songs. He showed us how important Yoko was in his life.
3.-JEALOUS GUY
I was dreaming of the past.And my heart was beating fast,I began to lose control,I began to lose control,I didn’t mean to hurt you,I’m sorry that I mad you cry,I didn’t want to hurt you,I’m just a jealous guy,I was feeling insecure,You night not love me any more,I was shivering inside,I was shivering inside,I was trying to catch your eyes,Thought that you were trying to hide,I was swallowing my pain,I was swallowing my pain.
Jealous Guy is a song written and performed by John Lennon, which first appeared on his 1971 album image. It is one of the most commonly covered Lennon songs. This song became popular because it reached number one in several countries directly after John Lennon was killed. It shows us an insecure man who fell in love, but his intense feelings did not let him to trust in the person who he loves. Love is an intense feeling, which sometimes causes intense pain in the person who loves without reciprocity. I remember a wise quote about love from my friend. The person who does not know suffer, must start love. I was listening the album, but I do not know too much about the music, and for to do this essay, my husband recommended me to choose this album, so he has a big music collection. I read about John Lennon life, and I found that he was an idol. His songs always have a massage. He was considered unpatriotic and a socialist because his songs and many people have identification with the lyrics of his songs. I will try to listen music in English in order to improve my English pronunciation. With these essays, I am going to remember my special teacher, who shared with us his English know ledges as a generous and funny person. In addition, I will remember the good time that I shared with my classmates where I am the old, but all of they are respectfully.
Thank you, Doug.
Sincerely
Cruz.

CENSORSHIP
Composition #7Draft 3
Cruz L Pozo Monar
November 29, 2009
Censorship
Each country, has constitution, it puts limits to different forms of expressions. It is called censorship. Every year several books, songs, movies, magazines, paints or exhibitions are been banned by the censor, Because of the content, presentation and massage that which carries. We must considerate that each person is one world, each one thinks in different form, and each person has right to be disagree with the expressions and actions from the others or vise versa, but we do not have to confound liberty with licentiousness. When we abuse our liberty, we are invading the privacy of the others, it genera inequality, disagreement, in consequence anarchy because we are broking the equilibrium of the society. Our liberty finish, where begin the others. In this country, and according the first amendment Censorship is the prohibition of speech or withdrawal of material, which are been considered “objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the government or media organizations as determined by a censor”. The majority of people are disagreeing with the censorship because they want to have freedom to express what is more convenient for them. In my personal opinion, the people should be free with their expressions forms always what it does not be harmful for the others. To illustrate that I support the First Amendment, I made resources a picture, song, and album.
In 1999, The Brooklyn Museum of Art had and exhibition with a controversial painting. Chris Ofili, a young English painter who had African roots, made a painting called the Holly Virgin Mary, using elephant excrement and obscene pictures cut from adult magazines. Mayor Giuliani and some Catholics were offended by the painting. They believed it was disrespectful for Catholics and the Virgin Mary. Giuliani threatened the BMA that he would take away public funding if they kept the picture in past the exhibition. The BMA wanted to challenge him by keeping the painting in the show. The censorship was not successful because it was against the first Amendment. Joan Bertin, the head of the National Coalition against Censorship, supported the BMA. Michelle Coffey, Program Director, of the National Campaign for Freedom of Expression, support the BMA also, she thought that the community had the right to make the decision about what they want to see or not. The government is not allowed to take away financial support just because the paint was offensive some of them. I disagree with the censorship because it was personal opinion and it not represent of majority opinion. The government had to put the limits and parameter of presentations, and it cannot decide or force how we think. I believe that people have the right to decide what is good or bad for them without offend to the rest of population.
In 1984, a song “Suicide Solution” caused commotion due to its lyrics. This theme was made by the heavy metal singer rock Ozzy Osbourne who wrote this song because another rock artist drunk alcohol and died. In the lyrics of the song Suicide Solution, Ozzy talked about of whiskey, liquor, and suicide solution for the message content of the song was misleading by people. In October 26, 1984, a teenager John McCollum, who had alcohol problems, shot his head and while he was listening to Ozzy’s music. John had been listening Osbourne’s albums many times before he killed himself. After his suicide, John’s parents sent an official report to the California civil court against Ozzy, demanding that his music lyrics advocated people’s destruction behavior. John’s father wanted to punish them. He said that CBS Records and Osbourne were making the young people attempt suicide against their lives. In addition, this music made John vulnerable, and provoked him to commit suicide. However, the court declined the McCollum’s petition, citing the First Amendment, “Freedom of Religion, Press, and Expression.” What was prohibited accusing, and said that the people are not forced to do what the lyric of the song says. This accusation was not successful, so their arguments were weak, and the complaint was only propaganda made by the McCollum’s. I agree with the decision made by the civil court because the behavior of teenagers is consequence of many factors like; who are their friends, which values they had since their formative years, and parents’ responsibility, and not of what kind of music they listen to.
In 1968, the album “Unfinished Music No.1: Two Virgins” was displayed generating an enormous controversy. The authors of this album were John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono, who recorded the album together. The album “Unfinished Music” was released under the Apple Record Label. This album was also distributed through the US by different track records, but EMI record’s in the UK and Capitol Records in the US were reluctant to sell it. They refused to sell the CD because of the controversial picture on the cover. On the cover was attached the picture of John Lennon and his wife Yoko totality naked that evoke a scandal. Their behaviors were not ethical for the society and epoch. In addition, I read that who used their picture for to build a big statue of bronze. The censorship banned this album because of the picture of the naked Yoko and John. In 1997 the album was reprinted making the cover was covered by a plain brown paper, which could be removed if people wanted, with only their heads showing through a small hole. Many people did not want that album. Nevertheless, John Lennon said that the controversy was because of the picture was not made by professional models and the people found the picture unattractive. I disagree with the censorship because the people have the right to freedom of expression.
The society in the world are in continuing evolution, actions and expressions that were censorship many years ago, now are normal, the technology, and internet made revolution in develop countries. Some countries where the technology is in process, many expressions are ban yet, and the censorship take place. I agree with the First Amendment of the Constitution, about freedom of religion, expression. Everybody has the right to express whatever each one wants, but these expressions have limits. The expressions cannot transgress these limits, neither to distortion of the reality. We have to consider if our manifestations are going to be good or bad influence for the others, especially for children. After I made these resources about, an album, a song, and a picture, I have concluded that people around the world have the right to disagree. So our world has many countries with many cultures, and it is impossible to completely agree, besides in the diversity is the wealth, only I have to respect if I want to live in pace. I have the right to have my own opinions, and nobody has to manage it. We all have to respect each other.

The censorship was not successful because it was against the first Amendment. Joan Bertin, the head of the National Coalition against Censorship, supported the BMA. Michelle Coffey, Program Director, of the National Campaign for Freedom of Expression, support the BMA also, she thought that the community had the right to make the decision about what they want to see or not. The government is not allowed to take away financial support just because the paint was offensive some of them. I disagree with the censorship because it was personal opinion and it not represent of majority opinion. The government had to put the limits and parameter of presentations, and it cannot decide or force how we think. I believe that people have the right to decide what is good or bad for them without offend to the rest of population.
In 1984, a song “Suicide Solution” caused commotion due to its lyrics. This theme was made by the heavy metal singer rock Ozzy Osbourne who wrote this song because another rock artist drunk alcohol and died. In the lyrics of the song Suicide Solution, Ozzy talked about of whiskey, liquor, and suicide solution for the message content of the song was misleading by people. In October 26, 1984, a teenager John McCollum, who had alcohol problems, shot his head and while he was listening to Ozzy’s music. John had been listening Osbourne’s albums many times before he killed himself. After his suicide, John’s parents sent an official report to the California civil court against Ozzy, demanding that his music lyrics advocated people’s destruction behavior. John’s father wanted to punish them. He said that CBS Records and Osbourne were making the young people attempt suicide against their lives. In addition, this music made John vulnerable, and provoked him to commit suicide. However, the court declined the McCollum’s petition, citing the First Amendment, “Freedom of Religion, Press, and Expression.” What was prohibited accusing, and said that the people are not forced to do what the lyric of the song says. This accusation was not successful, so their arguments were weak, and the complaint was only propaganda made by the McCollum’s. I agree with the decision made by the civil court because the behavior of teenagers is consequence of many factors like; who are their friends, which values they had since their formative years, and parents’ responsibility, and not of what kind of music they listen to.
In 1968, the album “Unfinished Music No.1: Two Virgins” was displayed generating an enormous controversy. The authors of this album were John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono, who recorded the album together. The album “Unfinished Music” was released under the Apple Record Label. This album was also distributed through the US by different track records, but EMI record’s in the UK and Capitol Records in the US were reluctant to sell it. They refused to sell the CD because of the controversial picture on the cover. On the cover was attached the picture of John Lennon and his wife Yoko totality naked that evoke a scandal. Their behaviors were not ethical for the society and epoch. In addition, I read that who used their picture for to build a big statue of bronze. The censorship banned this album because of the picture of the naked Yoko and John. In 1997 the album was reprinted making the cover was covered by a plain brown paper, which could be removed if people wanted, with only their heads showing through a small hole. Many people did not want that album. Nevertheless, John Lennon said that the controversy was because of the picture was not made by professional models and the people found the picture unattractive. I disagree with the censorship because the people have the right to freedom of expression.
The society in the world are in continuing evolution, actions and expressions that were censorship many years ago, now are normal, the technology, and internet made revolution in develop countries. Some countries where the technology is in process, many expressions are ban yet, and the censorship take place. I agree with the First Amendment of the Constitution, about freedom of religion, expression. Everybody has the right to express whatever each one wants, but these expressions have limits. The expressions cannot transgress these limits, neither to distortion of the reality. We have to consider if our manifestations are going to be good or bad influence for the others, especially for children. After I made these resources about, an album, a song, and a picture, I have concluded that people around the world have the right to disagree. So our world has many countries with many cultures, and it is impossible to completely agree, besides in the diversity is the wealth, only I have to respect if I want to live in pace. I have the right to have my own opinions, and nobody has to manage it. We all have to respect each other.

Improving Schools in a Bad Neighborhood
Dear Mr. Mayor

In addition, we know that you have two options: one is to use the money to improve the schools in a bad neighborhood, and the other option is, to improve the quality of the neighborhoods near tourist attractions such as the Met and Times Square.

It will provide jobs opportunity for many people, community education in the city, and neighborhood in the city is going to be safe and with urban renewal.
Using money for to help schools in a bad neighborhood will provide jobs opportunity for different kind of professionals. First of all, The schools in a bad neighborhood are in bad conditions. I saw a school near my home, whose doors and windows are broken, the walls and painting are coming down, the hygienic batteries are broken and have a bad odor. You will need to hire engineers, constructions workers, painters, plumbers, carpenters and handymen in order to fix and put the schools in good conditions. Now the unemployment rate is increased. By hiring them, the unemployment rate is going to decrease. As a result, many people are not going to depend from the government assistance. Secondly, with school in good conditions, it will be able to offer services to the students and community; it will be jobs opportunity for young teachers. They will develop their teaching skills with students and community. Finally, the students are going to need assistance from the socials workers, personal assistance, janitors, securities, police, kitchen personal, in order to display organization in the school. In conclusion, with schools in good condition, many people could find job there and get benefit.
Schools in good conditions will improve education in the city. First of all, many students are skip school and missing class because they need extra programs that catch their attention. For example, they need arts and theater programs because they want to spend the time doing new activities. Improving some arts class will be an opportunity to discover new talents in different disciplines like singing, drawing, dancing and painting because they could express their feelings, and develop skills through the arts. Secondly, practicing some sports, the students will grow up healthy and their bones will become strong. The school needs sports programs where the students can practice and learn some sports. In the actuality, because of inactivity the childhoods are overweight. Practicing some sports the students will be healthy; the overweight is going to stop because they could spend their energy exercising. Sports help to discipline the people. Finally, many students did not do their homework because their parents are unable to take care of them early. The school needs to improve after school programs for students and community. Improving after school program for students whose parents work and are unable take care them early, they will have ready their homework for the next school day. They will be successful. I have experience about this program because in the school where my son studies offer to them this kind of program, and my son is ones who gets this benefit; he is happy there because he also practices some sports and make friends. In conclusion, school with many programs, the schools are going to improve the students’ population.

Every day the students are missing class and integrating group of gangs, As a result, the robbery and crime rate are increase because they need easy and fast money for to paid their vices. In consequence, we have dangerous neighborhood. With good school in operation, they will be sure there. Another reason, many students, who quit from the school are walking outside and selling drugs. They are at the parks, and corners looking for more victims. You should help to the schools in order to reduce the number of students leaving the school, and reduce the number of victims from the drugs and gangs. Many weeks ago, I saw one student who was selling drugs near my son’s school; the police addressed him. He looked how he sold drugs to the rest of students.

At the beginning, I hated living in this city, while I was improving my English skills, my appreciation started to change. Another reason speaking English is important because in New York City schools teachers teach to their students all subjects in English. Another reason, parents need to improve the Basic English skills in order to help their children with their homework. Helping them with the right language, they will be successful students. Finally, many foreign people from different countries came to New York City, and they want to get a degree but the first step is to speak English fluency.

HOMELESS SHELTER .
Dear Mayor:
Everybody knows about your good heart and human kind with the homeless people. Every day, many people are sleeping in the subways, parks, trains. It shows the social inequality and it is an indication of an economic recession in this city. You know about this situation about homeless people in New York, so they need a dignified place where they can be sure and secure. You have to choose between two options; building a homeless shelter or building a shopping mall. This is an important decision for New York City because in this city the homeless people are improving. Your decision will have good impact in our city. It will provide jobs opportunity for unemployed people, improve community education, and it provides health care for the homeless.
You should build a homeless shelter because it will increase jobs in this city. First of all homeless shelter can provide jobs opportunity for construction workers. We will need to hire different workers in order to build a shelter. We need carpenters, engineers, plumbers, electricians, and painters. Currently the unemployment rate is very high. Hiring people to build a homeless shelter, unemployment rate is going to lower it. Secondly, for example some homeless need help from social workers. After finishing school, social workers will have an opportunity to find jobs in homeless shelters. Finally, building a homeless shelter is another place that doctors and nurses can get jobs. They will give medical examination and health care assistance to them. Homeless shelter provides many different jobs.
Building a homeless shelter, not only. One reason, shelter is a place where live people with different ages. Many young homeless did not finish their school. In homeless shelter, they will have opportunity to study, finish school, and get a GED. They will be able to develop basic skills learning like reading, writing and values; also, they could assist some college and get a degree. In the conceivable future, they can leave homeless shelter, and they will be able to have their own home. They will be productive people with independent live. Another reason, there are some intelligent homeless people in homeless shelter, with know ledges, and experience, they know some jobs skills that they learned when they were young. They will have the opportunity to teach others and could be reintegrating to the society. For example, I saw on the TV a story about one important journalist. He shared his sad story with his audience. He had been homeless in one stage of his live, but he was rescued by the homeless shelter. They gave him assistance. Now he is working in the same profession that he used to work before. Finally, shelters can assist homeless with drugs, and alcohol problems. Teaching them about cause-effects of drugs, they will realize what they were consuming, they will be positive testimony for the others. In addition, in the shelter, homeless will be teach about personal care, hygiene, also they will have instructions about how to prevent, illness, like the flu, AIDS, sexual illness. In shelters, homeless could receive teaching-assistance in different ways.
Building a homeless shelter, not only, increase jobs in this city or could be good opportunity for the city to improve community education, but also is good for the city because it provide health care for homeless. First of all, homeless live in the street, trains, parks, and they have bad nourishment, in consequence they are feeble people. Many of them are utterly ill, so the infections are not good with them. With out medical assistance, they soon will die. Shelters can provide medical examination to homeless people. It will determine what kind of illness, sickness or disease they have. Later homeless will receive the appropriate medication that they need. Young homeless are most prone to get infection from the illness people with easy infection, like flu, AIDS, and tetanus. Now the flu is threatening to the population. Homeless shelter can provide for them vaccines in order to avoid infection to the rest of population. Secondly, homeless do not have dental care. In homeless shelter, they will have teeth treatment, and some of them will need artificial denture. With good dental care, they could avoid digestive problems for bad chewing of food. Another reason, some homeless people have drugs problems; in shelter, they could find medical assistance for their problems; and in the conceivable future, they will be healthy people without drugs addiction. Finally, Psychiatrists could offer help to the homeless with mental, depress problems, and they could offer their services to them. Homeless shelter can give medical assistance to the homeless with health problems.
In conclusion, building homeless shelter, the city and the government will be healthy solution for homeless people. The homeless people need one opportunity or chance to improve their live. Building a homeless shelter will be jobs opportunities for many people, improve the community education, and provide health care for them. You have to give them the right help that they need, and we will have city with urban renew dignity of the big metropolis.

Finally, Psychiatrists could offer help to the homeless with mental, depress problems, and they could offer their services to them. Homeless shelter can give medical assistance to the homeless with health problems.
In conclusion, building homeless shelter, the city and the government will be healthy solution for homeless people. The homeless people need one opportunity or chance to improve their live. Building a homeless shelter will be jobs opportunities for many people, improve the community education, and provide health care for them. You have to give them the right help that they need, and we will have city with urban renew dignity of the big metropolis.
Sincerely

Cruz L Pozo Monar
MY BIOGRAPHY
My full name is Cruz Lastenia Pozo Monar. I am married, and my husband’s name is Ricardo Aguaiza. We have one son named Danielito. We are from Ecuador. My family and my husband use to be named Laste, but in this country, everybody calls me Cruz. My biography has many steps from childhood, teenager, and adulthood. Each step in my life is marked because I used to live in different places with different responsibilities. Each paragraph shows you one part about my life, because the information is abundant, enough to write each detail about my life.
I am from Ecuador. I was born in a city called Guaranda, the capital of Bolivar province (province in Ecuador is like a state is in the USA). Guaranda is a small city located in the middle of Ecuador, on The Andes mountain range, on a snowcapped slope called Chimborazo; also, it is called seven hills city. Its temperature is between 10 and 18 centigrade. It is a four hours from Quito, the Capital of Ecuador. Province Bolivar has its particular tourist places like, snowcapped Chimborazo, sanctuary of Guayco (a little copy of the Roman Basilica), sanctuary of Carmelo located in Lourdes hill. Salinas Artisanship. Salinas is a village with many craftsmanship-factories with exportation products like a variety of cheeses, candies, chocolates, native clothes, and buttons. If you go to Guaranda city, you can get there only by bus, this city does not have airport. Traveling by plane since Guayaquil to Quito you will be able to identify the biggest snowcapped peak in Ecuador called Chimborazo. Bolivar Province has irregular superficies, with many hills, little rivers, brooks, creeks and streams. It has the specific holiday the Carnival, which celebrates every year. Many tourist get there, when summer beginning is nice to be there. My parents, relatives, and I have their own farm in a small village named Santiago, and they live there since they were born, many generations. Santiago is a little Village located a 30 minute by bus ride from Guaranda. Santiago as a Village has its owns tourist places. For me the most important is the Protector Forest named Totoras located 45 minutes by car from Santiago. It is a natural forest with many medicinal vegetables species, diverse flora and fauna characteristic of this place, and variety of ecosystems. The economic base of the families in Santiago is agriculture because the majorities of residents has a piece of land, and cultivate many products such corn, wheat, potatoes, beans, fruits and vegetables, also they raised many kind of domestic animals. The life in this village is quiet, without stress, free of pollution, and the populations know each other, in consequence, they have good relationship.
My family is small. There are six of us in my family. I am the oldest daughter. I have one sister named Laurita. She is a doctor, who is single, and lives in Chile. The oldest brother’s name is Jabier, he is Engineer, he is married, and with his wife Monica, have two daughters. They live in Tena city. My youngest brother’s name is Fabian. He is single, and he is studying at the University in Riobamba city. He is the closets brother to me. My parents are alive, and they live in Santiago. My parent’s names are Sixto and Umbelina. They have their own farm and cultivate many kind of grains, vegetables, fruits and others products. Additionally they raise many kind of domestic animals. They enjoy making traditional plates on specials days. It is nice to live on a farm with sufficient space, and vegetation. The air is free of pollution, and the food is fresh and natural. You can smell the natural flowers scent.
. When I used to live in Ecuador, my neighborhood was small; in fact, my near neighbors were Juan and his wife Maura. They had four children. They were very generous. When they prepared special food, they used to share with us, and the same way my parents did. They are a happy family; when they threw some parties, they used to invite us, and they enjoyed dancing. When Juan’s mother was alive, she was a good mother. I remember her as an exceptional human because she was kind, tender and lovely. She was like a grandmother for us. When our parents were absent from home, she took care of us. We liked to go to her house because she used to give us candy, cookies and other things. When she died, everybody mourned for her. Her name was Encarnacion; this is why we used to call her MAMA ENCARNA.
In every step in our lives, we have special person. The most important person in my life is my son Danielito. He is seven years old and he is attending public school in second grade in the top of his class. My husband and I love him over of all because he is our unique son, and he is our continuity. We had him in our 30s, and we know about our responsibility. All of our efforts are targeting to raise him the correct way. We want Daniel to become a good professional in his future. In spite of the fact that I do not have sufficient time, I taught him to read and write Spanish, and he is able to do it by himself. Daniel has been attending swimming classes, and when we go to the pool, he is able to swim by himself; in addition, he is attending additional Kumon class in Math, reading and writing in English. Daniel has strong personality; I have to talk him in the right words. Daniel is my son and he has rules to respect.
My son and I moved to USA on September 17 of 2007. We used to live with my parents, in their home in Ecuador. I worked for 13 years as a teacher at Santiago College, in Santiago Village; it was near to my parent’s home. I taught many subjects like Natural Science, Chemistry, and Anatomy. The student’s ages were from 12 to 18 years. I have good memories of a special student in the eight grades named Blanch. She was very smart girl and responsible student, and later she became a nurse in an important University in Guayaquil city. Alfredo was other student; everything in his personality was great He was musician. He had opportunity to participate with exposition in a College Fair, and he was the winner. At the same time that my life elapses in this way, my husband applied our documentation and brought us to New York City. We came to meet with him, and make one family, because we were living separate since we got married many years ago. Life in this city at the beginning was too difficult; in special, we did not speak English. The most difficult time for me was when I started to work, and had to leave my son with a babysitter. He was little, and unable to understand was what happening. Later we found a daycare for him and we left him there, then I felt better. My life started to change at the same time that my English improved, and I am able to do many things. Now I am attending English class in CLIP program at La Guardia Community College because I need to improve the life of my family and me.
I want to improve my English in order to find other job, and later I would like to be a teacher or other profession in this city, because when I made transferred to CUNY University, they gave me only 30 credits for my whole career from Ecuador. CLIP program gives me opportunity to improve my English at a low cost. My plans for the future are; to be a professional and get a better job for my family and me. Intellectual progress is very important for because it allows me to grow up in many ways. I encourage my husband to do the same because his English is better than I am. We think if we achievement this goal, it will be the best thing that we do for our family.
In conclusion, people have many things to show to the others, places, friends, things to remember, memories for to share with the future generation. The only one way that allows tknow about us is writing one biography. In this essay, I am trying to write a few things about my life.

It sometimes is bad, good or the appropriate influence, but is important for the new parents to be prepared in different aspects, like finances, emotional, affective, to have values, if they are ready for to be parents, they will be good influence over them. Children in their formative years need special care, best nourishment, education, rules to follow, things like that are going to determine the rest of their life. Children that receive good influence will be confident persons with goals, good professionals, useful for the society. Usually young parents are not going to be good influence over their children, so they do not have too much for to offer them, is sad to see children are given in adoption or babies raised by grand parents, because their parents are economic insolvent with absence of values scale. Now, we are able to determine what kind of influence is appropriate for us, we have to take the best influence, and to rule out bad influence. In each stage of my life, I received different kinds of influence like my parents influence, my son Danielito, and my husband.
My parents are going to be forever the most influential people in my live because they are responsible persons. First, when they got married, they were poor but hard workers. Nevertheless, they raised their family and became prosperous in their town. Although they did not finish their School, they took experience from other professionals about education for us.

Memorable lyrics.- Tired of withstanding my dad I decided to emancipate, and did like this, one night I got out ready to relieve. To the dancing, I went with my best green Nile clothing. My night was, I danced more than one top and almost lost one kilo.
Memorable association.- A few months ago, my husband was listening at home this song. My son Danielito was listening also, and he repeated this son, but he was altering the original composition. He repeated, “Tired of withstanding my mom I decided to emancipate, when we listened our sons sang, we were laughing a short time. After that, I thought in the message from the song especially for teenagers. The artist when sang this son, he was very young. In the video clip, the singer gave the impression that he wanted to be free, so his body discovered one delicious but dangerous step, but he enjoyed it.
Blurb.- This is the perfect son for people that speak Spanish and are rebellious, or like to remember their steps when they were teenagers, in specially if the parents were very strictest, they always found the way for to enjoy with activities that the parents didn’t allowed.

Memorable lyrics.- Tired of withstanding my dad I decided to emancipate, and did like this, one night I got out ready to relieve. To the dancing, I went with my best green Nile clothing. My night was, I danced more than one top and almost lost one kilo.
Memorable association.- A few months ago, my husband was listening at home this song. My son Danielito was listening also, and he repeated this son, but he was altering the original composition. He repeated, “Tired of withstanding my mom I decided to emancipate, when we listened our sons sang, we were laughing a short time. After that, I thought in the message from the song especially for teenagers. The artist when sang this son, he was very young. In the video clip, the singer gave the impression that he wanted to be free, so his body discovered one delicious but dangerous step, but he enjoyed it.
Blurb.- This is the perfect son for people that speak Spanish and are rebellious, or like to remember their steps when they were teenagers, in specially if the parents were very strictest, they always found the way for to enjoy with activities that the parents didn’t allowed.
Song # 2

Artist: Luis Fonsi.
Year: 2008.
Genre: Romantic Ballad.
Memorable Lyrics.- I, I don’t get defeat, I want one world with you.
I never get tired, I never give up, I never get defeat.
Memory association.- I remember this song when my coworker Dalia used sang, when we listened to the radio in our job mine a while we were working. She has a good voice, but she told me that she never memorized all letter, in consequence she never finished singing this song, but we enjoyed listened her sing this song. For me this son is interesting because it give a message about I never get defeat, I never get tired, it is like inspiration for me when many times I feel completely tired and have wishes to give up. Then I start again.
Blurb.- If you listen the all composition, it is the perfect song for to raise the spirit of the people that have problems with their self-esteem and are thinking that no body loves them.
Song # 3

Year: 1976
Genre: Romantic Ballad.
Memorable Lyrics.- Was already afternoon in the cold night of the great city, returned at home when soon I saw light in the tavern, I never get doubt, was cold, in it got in.
Memory association.- I like listening this song, this song is the story of all immigrants people like me, that we felt odd long time when we came to unknown city by fist time, where all is different in specially the language. When I listen the song I connect by mind with my country, but is little sad because every one miss their parents and relatives. Ironically, they left their countries and families for to get a better life for them, and maybe never are going to meet with them again, because the majorities do not have legal status.
Blurb.- With the letter of this song the majority of immigrants have identification, it is appropriate for those that miss and lost steps living with them by immigration.

Memory association.- This song is a message that show us about our past, when I listen this song I remember my college steps in my Spanish Literacy class in Ecuador. This song has connection with the philosophic and human pansy; also, this song composition speaks about one peregrine poet who lived too far from his country. Ironically, the composition said that never are going to walk the same path again, but sometimes is no true.
