Post #2 - My Reality of Life

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” As soon as I started high school all I’ve been hearing is “what are you going to study?” and “you’ve got to study something that pays off”. Almost every week different universities visit my school to tell us what they offer, how much it cost and other things. But as soon as they asked me, “what are you going to study”? My mind goes blank because I don’t know what to answer. So, I just tell them what everyone wants to hear “I’m going to study medicine”. Everyone says “That's great!” I continue talking to them as if it really interests me, but it doesn’t. I mean of course I want to study, but I don’t know what exactly.  To tell you the truth every time they mention universities or the future I get scared because it’s hard to make such a BIG decision only when I’m sixteen (16). Most of the time I sit in my room thinking what I am going to do with my future?  I see most of my classmates have their life planned and know what they are going to study. As days passes by I sit and think to myself “What I'm going to do? But the only answer I have for now is that I’m going to live my life to the fullest, enjoy every moment and start researching the things I like and the things I’m good at; so when I make this BIG decision I will do it with no doubts. Also I will know  that when I make this decision I will be happy with it, which means I will succeed in my studies and in life.

Post #1 - Introduction

Today, I have created this blog as part of my English Class led by my teacher Mrs. Lizette Dieguez. This is the first time we are joining computer class with english class.I love this new project, for is a new way of having fun meanwhile doing your project. I love the idea of posting our problems, feelings of the day  and little traumas. For know I would be discussing teen problems. What first made me realize that I was becoming a teen was my menstrual cycle or how everybody knows it periods. I remember the first time I had my period it was very embarrassing. I was going to play volleyball game and since that morning I've been having cramps, but I didn't pay to much attention to them. So, we got tot he court and started playing and meanwhile we were playing I felt uncomfortable, I didn't knew why.  I just kept playing. When the game ended I was going to eat because I was hungry. When I sit in the car I noticed a big red stain in my pants. My dad was driving and we almost had a car accident because I showed him the red stain. He was in shock for almost 10 minutes. The big problem wasn't that, my mom was still in the court. I didn't have any towel pads. My dad had to drive to Wallgreens and get some towel pads. After he bought them I got out of the car with a jacket and had to run to the Wallgreens bathroom. I saw the bathroom and just before entering I see my neighbor. She started talking to me. After that, I put my towel pads and change pants (thanks God I had an pant on my backpack). Anyway, the fist time I got my period it was very awkward and painful
