I’m know as a child, we think about the future. What we will be when we are older? Will we be satisfied with our life? What will our kids look like? No one can tell the future, but I believe we have control of the results of our actions. Our conscious tells us what’s incorrect & correct. So what is the reason we do what we want even if it’s incorrect.  As I come closer to 18 I feel confined in this monotonous world. It’s common to want to see the world, but we first have to endure labor and stress. We work to survive but we crave to live our lives to the fullest before we die.

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT 

Life is change, adapt.

Life is fast..

Life can pass like a race car if we’re careless,

That’s why it’s crucial we take a step back and think,

Times when life can be great!

Times when life can be difficult..

Never giving up is the key.

and that’s what I’ve lived by.

First Assignment- Shantal Garcia

Eager. My summer was pretty entertaining, I went to my home country for 2 months. I met my grandma from my dad’s side for the first time in 17 years. A monumental moment I would say, she’s a sweet soul and she cooks incredible. She lives near Boca Chica, which is a well known beach in DR. Since she lived close I took advantage of that and went for a swim a couple of times. The water is nice and warm, but the waves can be strong in the afternoon. After I came back I just went to work for the rest of the summer.

Being an online student again though isn’t very pleasant. I prefer going in person, because I have a reason to be outside rather than being cooped up at home. Plus learning from your home sort of takes away from your attention span due to having so many people at home like me. But I’m still optimistic, and interested on what this semester has in store.
