I know people that are uneducated and they are very prejudices so I will disagree in this quote.

Brain exercise

A new study proof that talking to your self loud improved your memory temporarily. The small study, published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that people who talked to themselves found items more quickly than those who did not. The idea is that saying the name of objects loud help you active some sensors in the brain.

Brain Freeze

Do you know that when the weather is hot and we eat ice cream our brain freeze, and this occurs when something extremely cold touches the upper-palate (roof of the mouth). They found that the sensation of brain freeze appears to be caused by a dramatic and sudden increase in blood flow through the brain's anterior cerebral artery. As soon as the artery constricted, the brain-freeze pain sensation wore off.

What is sociology?

     Sociological perspective is the systematic study of human society; it helps us see the general pattern in the behavior of particular people and understand their society and how it affects their own.  This mean that our live is already planned before we are born because we are born in to a culture, social class, race and religion that were already there; however, there are some cultures that their standing can change across generation.

Keep going

Finish a day and be done with it. You have done what you could, some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Responsability

What responsability means?
For me responsability means ownership, owning recognition and accepting the blame of ours mistake.

everyday

There is something different to leave everyday. If  today you had a terrible day, do not worry tomorrow will be a better day. every day there  is a new experience to live and new changes that you can make about your life. Stop thinking about yesterday instead of ,think an what can you do better tomorrow.

Please stop wasting Water

Do you know that water covers 70.9 percentage of earth surface; however 98.8 percentage of that water is in ice  and only 2.5 percentages is available for human. We need to stop wasting water, if not pretty soon we are not going to have this vital element for us to survive.

Children's obesity

  We see every day commercials of how to stop obesity in children. They show that more exercise and healthy eating habit will help them to loose some weight. I heard that at school they are trying to have a healthier lunch menu; however, are we doing anything to help our children? My neighbor down stairs which is seven years old and weighs around 120 pounds, yet every time that I see him he is eating Doritos or cheetos and playing video games. We parents need to do something to stop this epidemic of obesity. We need to take our children outdoors and teach them how to eat healthier.

Bipolar Disorder

    Bipolar disorder also known as manic depressive illness is a mood disorder in which people experience alternating mood swings of mania and depression. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), bipolar disorder affects more than 5.7 million adults in the United States each year. Approximately 3% of people in the United States are affected .The age of onset is usually the late teens or early 20’s and there is a history of depression in most cases. Men and women are affected in equal numbers. Women's first episode is typically manic, while men typically experience a depressive episode first. Those in manic state may have increased activity or energy, more thoughts and faster thinking, grandiose thoughts, decreased sleep and need for sleep, increased sexual activity, elated mood, irritable mood, as well as other symptoms. But there is a treatmen for this illness so it can be control.

Chores for Childre.

Teaching your child to do chores on their own can be fun for the whole family. For example my three-year-old daughter loves to help me with the house duties; she is assigned to organize her toys. After she finishes, I always let her know how helpful she has been and how well she has completed her task. Since I have been teaching her how to do chores, I have noticed that she has been more independen

Bees in Risk

   If we do not stop using cell phones or other high-tech device one day we are not going to have more bees in the planet. One of the causes of bee’s extinction is the radiation given of by mobile cell phones. Without bees many fruits and vegetables will disappear. It incredible to believe that human race is making other species in the planet disappears.

culture

      Culture is the ways of thinking, the ways of acting and the material objects that together form people’s way of live. As the human brain evolved, culture replaced biological instincts as our species primary strategy for survival. It shapes not only what we do but also what we think and we feel, elements of what we commonly describe as a “human nature”. through socialization  the individuals provides a skills and practice to participate with its own society. It also helps people to learn characteristic of their groups, norms, values and behavior. I was born in a different country with different culture than American but the values and norms that my parents educated me help me understand this culture and through socialization I learned how to respect people culture and desire.  It gave me the freedom to be myself and the ability to respect others peoples religions and cultures.

Sharks in Granada

    Granada is a small city located in Nicaragua where I come from it was founded in 1524. It has the only freshwater lake in the world where sharks live. They have being living there for hundreds of years; however, they are in danger of extinction because of the indiscriminate hunt. . In addition the introduction of pollutants into the water is also killing them. The government of Nicaragua bans on freshwater fishing of bull shark to help them survive.

Mathematic class

Math is my favorite subject. It is so easy for me to understand algebra and statistic; however, why do I need math is my major is art?well I guess that I need to know some formulas to exalt my imagination.

I failed a test

      When I failed a test I always get upset to myself because I know I could do better but is so hard when you work fulltime, take twelve unites of classes  and have three years old daughter.  I felt so frustrated because I try so hard but at the end is not enough. It is not easy; however, I do not have any order option I have to keep going because this is the only way that my life is going to change

Monday

    The first day of the week is always chaotic at work. There is always a coworker calling in sick and ruin everybody else schedule because we have to do double work. Why people get sick on monday? it seems that the weekend makes everybody sick, I wonder what they do, well honestly I do not care I just do not want them to show up on mondays.
What a day I had a work today, thanks God is over and tomorrow is finally Tuesday.

Tornados across Midwest

      This last Friday Kentucky was hit by a devastated tornado. The images that I saw in the news were depressing, terrifying and speechless. I saw how a neighborhood disappear in thirty minute, there were anything left no houses neither schools. I saw a woman that found a prosthetic leg under the waste this make me realize how powerful  mother nature can be and how the world can disappear in a day. My prayer and thoughts are for all those people in the Midwest who have lost everything.

College test

There are different emotions or symptoms that I have developed through the years before a test, one of them is anxiety. It happen to me every night before the test, I start to imagine how many pages and question the test will have if the professor will include every single detail of the chapters. Since I have this problem I have been doing researches on how to fix it. I read in an article that exercise and good sleep will help to overcome anxiety so before a test I walk for five minutes and try to eat a chocolate bar. I know that my anxiety is a problem but I am trying to control my emotions so I can be more relax for my next test.

Stem cell fertility treatment

  I read in the news that scientist from Harvard are trying to challenge the belief that woman are born with a limited amount of eggs. They did a study with mice where they noticed that a young egg is capable of producing new ones. This will be good news for women that suffer from infertility or have been treated with chemotherapy; however, is this news a good discovery for the human race or are we going to start overpopulating the world more than it already is? I will say that we will have to wait a few more years to see what happen and hopefully it is going to be regulated.

chapt 2 HW

                                                Health insurance

     Health insurance is a big problem in United State because the amount of Americans without insurance is increasing every day. It is almost impossible for a person to afford a medical insurance because of his price. One example is where I work, the insurance is free for the employee but if I want to add a family member I would have to pay almost a thirty percent of my salary. Although some people have health insurance when they come to the office they are not able to afford the copayment, despite that a cash office visit cost forty dollars that is what they have to pay for their copayment.

  This problem is affecting the economy because people without insurance are going to the emergency room where they cannot afford to pay the bills. In addition Medical and Medicare program are out control because is not regulated and some people are taking advance of the system. Also there is not fund to invest in these programs.

 There is a need of change in the health care system so it can be affordable for everybody.

Chapter 1 HW

   I always have a problem when I try to express my opinions in writing. One reason is because English is my second language and I write the same way that I speak. Also English root is different that my original language. every day I have to write a chart notes as part of my jo and at  work we document information in the patients chart that need to be clear and specific, it cannot be any misconception because of liability and most of the time my documentation are confusing. Writing is my challenge is difficult for me to find the right words, put them together and developed coherent sentences. Also my vocabulary in English is not reach enough and medical vocabulary is another language so I have double of the problem. It is hard when I read other peoples paper and I see how great their ideas are develop and how much they can write about a single comment, and there is me thinking how they do it and why I cannot do it. In addition my insecurity block my idea and does not let me developed a good paragraph. I like challenges and writing is the biggest one sometime I would like to change my major and become a writer but seems beyond to achieve. However every day I try to do better I read a book and now my English class is helping because I have to write in my blog every day.

Laundry day

During the week I can't wait for the weekend to star; however I know that on Saturday I have to do laundry and it's not my favorite chores to do. The laundry room is in the opposite side of the building and I live in the second floor. I don't like the fact that I have to state in the room until the cycles are over if I leave I always miss the cycle to put rinse on my clothes, I can wait for the day that I can recycle my clothes and i do not have to do laundry anymore.

Allergy

I have being working with an allergist for almost eight years; the majority of our patients used to be adults; however the past two years the number of children seen at the clinic have being increasing. I notice that now children at the age of eighteen months have allergy problems. What is causing this? Dr. Mahdavie always says that is the environment where they live, here in Simi valley the weather is windy and dry, that maybe one of the causes another could be the contamination in California is getting worse every year. We need to be conscious about it because what is going to happen in five more years,probably there will be an increase of patient being diagnosed with asthma or COPD(chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and this problem will be affecting our children.

My firs day of class.

I was one of the lucky one that got in to this class early.I had a mix feelings when I saw all those people that one to get a better education probably expecting a better future; however the opportunity is not given. How the economy is going to improve,  if  it is not enough classes available to form professionals for the future of this country.
