The video I watched was about fast food and unhealthy foods in schools. This video really captivated me because she mentioned a lot of shocking facts. For example she said that if parents keep on feeding their children how they are that they are going to have a shorter life expectancy than the one we have now. This is amazing because I never really realized how horrific it is to eat unhealthy food. I think she is right about everything she sad because if we inform children about healthy food and how bad junk food is we can really make a difference. This can help children want to eat better foods and be interested on feeding their future kids more healthier. in the video they also mentioned how the government does a poor job feeding children healthier food and how they spent more money on prisoners than on kids. This is really outrageous because I would think that the government would be willing to help the prisoners better than children.  This video really assisted me with my research paper because most of what she talks about in the video is about fast food and unhealthy food in schools. She mentions how this affects kids now and in the future. Since my research paper is on fast food in schools this is a really good source that I can use throughout my research paper. She also gave her website; which I can go on to get even more facts on fast foods in schools.sxfdf

One of the most important people in my life is my dad. There are so many reasons why he is important. My dad has always been there for me, through hard and good times and through happy and sad times. He supports me in everything I do and always gives me his advice or two senses if I am having a problem. He also congratulates me if I do something good. One of the best things about my dad is that he is a very energetic person. He plays soccer with me all the time. I love playing soccer with him because he loves challenges me to do better. He is the best dad ever!

Another very important people in my life are my mom. My mom as well as my dad is always there for me. One of the thing I love about my mom is that she always corrects me when I’m wrong and lets me know when I’m doing the right thing, as well as when I’m doing the right thing. She always takes care of me especially when I’m sick. That’s the best I get extra especial mom attention. She is always very concerned about what’s going on with me. She is also the best mom in the world!

Lupita is a very special person in my life for many reasons. She is my little sister. Lupita is 11 months and has Down syndrome. Although her sickness she is the best baby ever. She is always laughing. She puts a smile in my face every time I see her. “Lupita is a very strong baby,” her doctor always says. She is my inspiration to always keep going and to never give up because there is always a way out of things. She is very special to me and I love her very much.

college

college
Going into college I dint know what to expect. I was really nervous and scared. I thought it was going to be hard but not as hard as it has been. The hardest thing for me has been juggling soccer with school. Even though soccer has always been a big part of my life there was a point where I thought it was best off if I just quit soccer. Playing for Oxnard College has been really fun, but it gets really hard because I get home late from the games and I still have to go home and do my homework. Then I sometimes have to leave classes early and miss a big part of class time. But there is also a good part of college; I love going to college because I get to become more independent an responsible. It has helped me be more organized with my time and have more motivation to keep on going to succeed in school and in life. I think that the ultimate pay off of struggling and managing college with soccer has been going to my games and giving it my all. Having fun at all my games with my teammates makes all the struggles worth it. Also the satisfaction of knowing that I am doing something to change my life for the better makes me feel very satisfied with my self. Knowing then when I am done with school I am going to have the job I been working so hard on obtaining. I think a major part of what keeps me motivated is to know it’s for the good of my future and that is going to all pay off at the end.
