Stress

I believe that there is no human being in the world that has ever become more stressed than I have. I become stressed for the most stupid things ever. I think I never stop being stressed, except when it is summer. I stress out about homework two days before its due and when I am on vacation I am stressed about the homework that will be due. I gat stressed out with everything that has to do with school. The thing that mostly stresses me out is oral presentations and speeches. On the day that I have to present a speech I walk into the classroom shaking and when it’s my turn I can’t even hold a paper of how much y tremble. When I start to talk I feel a huge knot in my through but then when I finish presenting my stress is completely gone and that is the best part of becoming stressed. The feeling of all the stress leaving you is just lovely. Throughout the many years of presentation I have somewhat improved this issue that I always have to face while presenting.  My last year drama class is what helped me the most with my fear of talking in front of people and I am grateful for that.  Now every time that I have a presentation I think about how good it will feel once it is over. If you also struggle with stress issues like I do you need to try to calm yourself and “go with the flow”. People of the world can make many mistakes because of stress so don’t let it get in your way.

The Islands

In the world there are many people who have houses in beaches or in 
different places to go as a family over the week end. In my family we have margarita. Margarita is located off the north shore of Venezuela. People get there by plane or cruise. Margarita is a very different type of island from many others. Unlike thousands of islands in the world Margaritas waters are not “crystal clear” as a matter a fact they are a dark color. Although the beaches are not perfect I love going to Margarita. On the other hand there is Los Roques. This paradise is an archipelago that is also located off the north shore of Venezuela. The waters that surround this island are beautiful and not seen any place else in the world. The good thing about Los Roques is that if you just want to go with certain people you do because there are not many people there at the same time. There are thousands of things you can do there but my favorite is tubing and catching plankton. At night if you touch the water the movements make the microscopic plankton light up. They become like tiny little yellow light bulbs. Normally when we go we catch them and put them inside a water bottle. We always let them free before they die. I write about these two places because they are my two favorite places to visit here in Venezuela and they are the places where I have the most fun.

Obesity


Why are people now a days becoming soo fat? Many years ago it was not very normal to see an obese person walking down the street, but know it is. Throughout the years our US population has increased in size but we don’t really have an exact reason for why. I believe it is because of all the junk food that is available for us human. In the US it is hard not to eat McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, or any other time of junk food once a week, for there is at least one of the fast food places every 10 blocks. A couple of years ago people were becoming aware of the difference in size of the people so some people fought against these fast food restaurants. For example there was a movie created called “Super Size Me“. After this movie was created the only thing achieved was that they do not sell “super-size” anymore. Here in Venezuela wee I live it is not normal to see a fat person walking down the street. However there was something new created. It’s called McEntrega it is a horrible and a good idea at once. This McEntrega is a McDonald’s delivery meaning that you call them and they deliver their food to you. I know it sounds like glory and it sort of is but when you think about it, it just becomes sad that the world has come to McDonald’s delivery. These brilliant ideas that these fast food places have are what are ruining the health of our people. This is my theory of why obesity is becoming more normal that usual.
