  1. Being in Mexico the drug world is not foreign or is it not common for people to work in the drug industry to help support their families. Very rare do people want to stand up to these powerful cartels due to the power that they have. As sad and scary as it might seem, if the cartels see someone trying to stand up and stop their ways of doing things, it usually does not end well for the ones rebelling. Jose Manuel Mireles a very known doctor in Michoacán, Mexico. He was not making money a doctor should make, but he was not like a common Mexican home, where they live pay check to pay check and money is always a struggle. A scene that moved me was the scene where Jose Mireles took up the challenge to give up his career of being a doctor to rebel against the cartels that would taking over his hometown, sometimes killing innocent bystanders from crossfires against rival cartels, and Jose had enough! This scene made me feel curious because Jose had the money to move somewhere else, some

 I saw a announcement saying that freshman will begin selecting next semesters schedule, so I decided to be on top of my schedule and make it early. Last semester I created my schedule late and now I have one night lab which is not ideal. I have posted a picture of nutritious food because next semester I've decided to minor in food and nutrition. Eating healthy is something I've always strived to do, but never knew exactly how to do it correctly. I always research what professional soccer players and athletes eat, but our lives are completely different and their diets are designed specifically for them. I want to be able to create my own dietary plan designed for me and most importantly doing it correctly. One other reason for my decision in starting this minor is being able to create a healthy and well balanced diet for my father who has been diagnosed with diabetes. Like father like son, he also has troubles eating the correct foods, making his diabetes uncontrolled. I would

  Money heist, a show that many have seen and loved it. Money heist is a show based on a heist that has been thought out detail by detail. These people will be entering the royal mint of Spain, and the reason is..... well I wont spoil it for you. The thought of a heist makes my adrenaline rush, but also excited at the same time. I always wonder why people rob banks, steal or commit crimes to get money, but then I think some for some people it is there final resort. Never have I thought that people commit heists or steals for the adrenaline or just for the fun of it. How insane do you have to be to do it, why cant you just go bungie jumping or something. All these factors make up a very intense and intriguing show.

  This is the start of week five, and its really getting to me. This week I have a Trig test, chemistry lab report, chemistry homework and a informative speech to prepare. I stopped to get some Starbucks on Tuesday because it was a rough day, because I realized I was pretty behind. People would always say that college is nothing like high school, and it is 200% correct. Your on your own, you got all your classes to worry about, test, quizzes and homework goes on with ought a stop. The things you want to buy just seem more expensive now because your not working as much, but yet you have to find a way to work because college is not cheap! If your reading this I hope your week was a lot better, and if you were wondering what drink it was, it was a strawberry frapachino, they smack on a rough day.

 Ahhhh amazon the place that has everything we could ever want or need and even better, it can be delivered to your front door. This is the place I work at, I work at amazon MDW7 in Monee IL as a stower. I started working here full time this summer, the starting wage was increased and my cousin told me to apply because he worked there as well. My first day I wore normal work attire, it said to dress as casual and comfortable as possible but I did not think to dress that casual. Walking in I see people walking in pajama pants, after seeing this I knew it would be a very relaxed and "chill" job. In my starting crew there was a Latino couple who did not speak any English. I stepped up to translate, and the senior operations leader liked the way I worked and helped people my first week, so I was promoted within my first couple of weeks of work and yes it came with more pay the next time the building got raises. Now when school started amazon put me on a flex shift, working any ho

 If you were walking in the parking lot or parking your car, and you saw a Honda civic with a big Mexican flag coming from the top, and was wondering why and who it was me. The reason why I had the flag on Thursday ,September 16, was because it was Mexican independence day. Its a day that Mexico declared its independence from Spain. Having the flag and being proud of who I am reminded me of when I was younger or still to this day when I would go to my family party and celebrate, we would bring a group to perform called a "tamborazo". Showing my heritage has always been something I enjoy doing, so I was happy to bring my banner with me, later tonight ill be going downtown to cruise and waive the flag.                                                                                   Viva Me xico!!!!
