San Antonio, USA

San Antonio's fusion of cultures began 300 years ago when Spain staked its claim in the New World and sent missionaries to colonize the native people. What is now San Antonio was originally a Coahuiltecan Indian village, in 1718, the Franciscans constructed a mission, San Antonio de Valero, to convert, educate, and serve as the economic core for the settlement. In 1731, Spain sent settlers from the Canary Islands to further establish their colonial presence and over the next few years, built four more missions along the river.
San Antonio has several places to visit like:
• The Alamo, the Alamo was a house for missioners and their Indian conventions.
• The towers of Americans, Terrific view of San Antonio from the restaurant in the Tower. 550 feet tall - with 360 degree views
• The river walk- it’s a river that has a lot of lights and restaurants to sit and here music.
• Sea world- one of the most shocking and amazing aquariums in the world.
Experience:
When I went to San Antonio, I went with my hole family, we went to Sea World to se the penguins, when we arrived they gave us like a Woki-Toki where all information came from, when we saw the penguins I took out my camera and took pictures but the penguins thought it was food so they followed me. Then we went to the river walk, and there were a lot of light hanging off the trees, it was super illuminated and there were many restaurants. We also went to a huge mall where there were all the toys you can imagine, I bought a dinosaur that came out of a egg and you had to fid him.

RELIGION

Speaker’s education
What I can infer about the speaker education is that he has studied and recollected information based on astrology to prove his point of view of religion. I can say that he has a good education and what he says is based on facts. We can notice that he has studied this theme all his life because we knows what he is talking about, also we can infer that he has studied astrology. Astrology and religion are extremely complicated specially religion, a lot of people believe in different gods, the speaker most have absolute knowledge of the theme to do a statement like this.
Intention
The intention of the video according to the author is to express the truth and divulgate this truth with the purpose to persuade people to stop believing in religion, the argument is astrology. The speaker wants to tell the world that religion (catholic) is based on astrology and that there is no god. The speaker wants to convince the audience to stop believing because all that catholic religion is a huge lie, he is based on astrology and he gives proves that it’s a lie because the same story of Christ is repeated over and over again through time and history.
Believe or not… and why?
The decision to believe or not in what the speaker says is very individual, there are people who are extremely religious and won’t accept other theories of what may happened really. I decide to believe in some facts shown on the video, although the video has many facts that have coherence, I still have doubts and the video doesn’t satisfy all my doubts.

From childhood to Teen Age

Story

When I was little I used to play with a lot of Barbie’s, I love them. I always played with a friend named Natalia, but our friendship was a tough friendship, one day she came into my house and told me she didn’t have money to buy any Barbie’s so she ask me to borrow mine to her, I was excited that she asked my Barbie’s so I lend them to her, later that day I went to her house for my Barbie’s and I saw her playing with the dolls, but she had cut their heads and hair off, so I cried very hard and took my Barbie’s with me, I told my mom and she got very mad and talked to her mother, I told Natalia I was never going to forgive her, and until now every time I see her I claim to her what she did.

Through time I have realized I’m not a child anymore some aspects that helped me realized it where:
1. The things that I used to like (dolls, food, and sports) stopped liking me and my attention focused on make up, hair, etc.
2. My way to think, it changed a lot… although I weren’t the most mature person (and I’m not), I started to think and realize what It really matter to me and what was important
3. Boys started to like me; I started to be flirty with guys and dating them.
4. I started to go to parties, drink and smoke… to experiment what I liked
5. I started to care about all that was around me.

Reflection

Over the last 5 years I have suffered emotional and physical changes, that help me to understand that you will grow up no matter what, but I have realized with all my experiences in my life that, you cant help to grow up, cause you will no matter what, but growing as a personal and start to be mature is up to you, and every experience in your life can help you and give you lessons that later on you will need in your life.
