My Best Friend

It was about one year and a half ago. She flew about eight hours on the airplane to get to Boston. She was flying from the state of Iowa. She was tired. The first thing she said to me when she saw me for the first time was, “Woof that was a long trip.”

When I first saw her for the first time, coming out of the airplane, I was already so in love with her. She was so little, and so beautiful. Since that moment, when I first saw her, I knew that I was going to love her. I knew that she was going to be with me for a long time. I like her. She is my best friend.

We both wake up about the same time. Every morning we go for a walk as soon as she gets up. She starts to put her snow boots and her jacket on. When she is ready, she starts to look at me, and says “I am ready let’s go, let’s go for a walk, and don’t forget to bring me a bottle of water” she says.

Skye is a wonderful teenager. She is my every thing, my best friend, my inspiration, my reason to walk everyday. I cannot image my life without her. Skye is the best dog I could ever have.

Easter Day

April is the month of Easter Day. Easter is one of the most important days in America, and religious holidays around the world. Easter day is the sign of the spring. When Easter day comes every year we know it is the sign of warm weather. We know Spring is right around the corner. It’s time for the flowers to come out. The flowers are starting to bloom, as well as the bushes and shrubs. The trees start to get all dressed up in green. Everybody seems to have a better mood. Every single person you see around you has a smile on their face. People seem to do more activities outside when it is warm outside.

This big Easter day is the Sunday right after Good Friday. On Good Friday people usually do not do too much on that day. It’s also a big tradition for church people to stay at home from work. The kids usually don't have class on Good Friday.

Easter is a holiday that celebrates the belief in the resurrection of Jesus. It's a tradition for religious like joyous people and others.It is one of the most important Christian holidays. It's a big Christian religious day for all these people that have faith, or believe in God. Most of the religious people are getting out early on Easter day from their houses in order to get early to church, so they are able to sit on the front row of the church benches. A lot of people take Easter as a very serious day to celebrate the resurrection.

This holiday is also a tradition for kids. Kids love this Easter day because the parents like to hide eggs in the bushes with chocolate candies. There are also hidden figurines of chocolate bunnies in their yards. Most of the parents spend most of the day outside looking for bunnies and eggs in the yard with the kids. I remember when I was a kid. Easter was one of my favorite days. I was used to getting up early, and that was the first thing I did. I looked for the loaded eggs and the chocolate bunnies.

Pursuit of Happiness

In order to reach happiness you need to be aggressive to your own person to reach where you want to go and who you want to be in life. Be yourself, trust in yourself, believe in your self.

Pursuit of happiness is what every single living creature wants in life, to be happy and to be free, doing what you need and what you want in life.

Pursuit of happiness also can be freedom of speech be saying what you're feeling and what you want, or by reaching your goals to live well.

Nobody shall pay for the pursuit of happiness. The pursuit of happiness is free. We only have to be confident and be united. The pursuit of happiness starts on us once we come to this world and we start to breathe. The creator has given the unalienable rights to all humans.

Commute

The whole world moves from their house to their work, from their work to their house, from our house to the grocery stores, from grocery stores to our house, etc… From one point to another point people are using cars to get anywhere they need to get to. I have noticed that people do not want to walk a mile to get from point A to point B in order to get to the point where we want to go. Traffic is getting harder and harder to move around. To get to one of these places is getting very difficult, and it takes time to do your errands and get to work. Some people take an hour to two hours on the commute to work.

However the whole world needs and depends on a car. Every family uses a car to do their errands, to move around, and succeed in life. I have seen a lot of people struggling in their life without having a car. I can't imagine my personal life without having a car. Cars are extremely important, necessary in case of emergency. Vehicle makes people's lives easier and more comfortable.

Over the last couple of years I have seen a humongous amount of traffic in Boston. Very much the whole Boston moves on wheels. The roads are not enough. Everywhere you want to go. The roads are getting narrow, because too many cars are on the roads. Cars are coming from left and right. There are also too many car accidents, because of too many cars out on the roads.

People are doing anything possible to get a car. Cars are very much needed for every person. Some people buy cars because they need a car. Same people buy cars for pleasure, or just to show off. I notice the same families at least have two or three cars parked in their driveways. What people should do is to think about taking a train, ride a bike, or take the bus to get to work to minimize the commute

Nowadays, purchasing a vehicle is very easy. There are a lot of dealerships around the area. They are offering you very good deals. For example 0% downpayment, no interest on the life of the loan. That's why it is so easy to get a car and contribute to this traffic, and make the commute harder and harder for everybody. What people should do is to thing about taking a train, ride a bike, or take the bus to get to work to minimize the commute

Too many cars on the roads not only affect the commute in the city, but they also affect the world's environment. The world suffers from the environment, because of too much traffic, and smoke contamination in the air. What people don't know is that cars produce pollution, and pollution is not good for the world.

Daily Exercise

Every other day I am scheduled to go outside on the sidewalk to do my daily exercise. The sidewalk is the way I use to do my run every other day. When I run on the street I feel so energetic, and I feel great. I run for four miles every other day. It is so hard to maintain those routines. Sometimes I feel like I need a push to complete my exercise. Doing exercise with a partner can be the perfect push. The day I do not go for a run I feel incomplete.

It is so important to stay in movement. Doing exercise on a daily basis is good. So you can feel young, and you can get the energy your body needs for the day. Our body needs to stay in good shape and it needs to stay full of energy. We can only keep our body in good shape, and full of energy by doing exercise. Exercise is the number one key to stay young, and live longer. This special requirement also can help you to stay healthy, and happy at the same time. Doing daily exercise is very important for people.

This requirement is for every person in their life. We must hold ourselves accountable, as well as each other. Daily exercise is extremely important to maintain your body in good shape. This requirement helps your metabolism to process your daily nutrients you consume in the day, and helps your body to lose weight at the same time.

This requirement also helps your blood to circulate better in your body. To keep the blood pressure normal is so important for us. The heart plays an important role in our body. The heart is the organ that pumps your blood to other organs. By doing exercise you will help your heart to beat fast, and keep your blood circulating through your body. Doing exercise on a daily routine also helps you maintain and preserve physical and mental health.

Day after day we should all do at least one exercise in order to attribute those benefits to our health, and to our body. Exercise involves so many activities, such as walking, swimming, and running, etc. When you start to do at least one of these exercises, right away you and your body will start to notice the difference for the better.

Trees & Study

The trees are important for mother nature. Trees are the ones that give us the air. Trees are the ones that bring us the oxygen we need to breathe on this earth. It is so important to be surrounded by trees. Trees and study represent life, and represent the future.

The tree needs water, needs love, needs dedication and passion. The trees grow up day after day until they get to a certain age to the point where they stop growing. Just like a tree, humans are always learning and growing. The life of the trees and study is like writing an essay; it is a very similar process. For example, when you and I plant trees, most of the times when we plant the tree it is little. As your learning grows, so do your ideas and dedication. Writing an essay takes time and dedication. You must burn your brain to think about new ideas. You learn overtime and learn how to create bigger and bigger essays.

Humans also need water, need love, need dedication and passion to study. You start learning from the day you are born. From that day on you start to learn how to walk, talk, read and write until you learn your way up. When we were little kids, we started to go to school when we were 5 years old. We start from the bottom. We start to learn the vowels, then we move up to learning how to write those big essays.

We move our way up a grade until we come up with our goals. When we reach the level where we want to be, for example an attorney, doctor, or simply just a businessman. At that time, we will be able to reach the highest level of education. Just like a tree after many years, we have also reached the top.

Exercise in Class

SCALE is an adult program where we can study history, math, and English. In the class section we learn a variety of things, but the most fun thing is the exercise we do during the class. Reading/Writing 2 is for people who have their goals set for prosperity. This is a non-profit program in Somerville. It's a program where we study for our G.E.D or HiSET (high school equivalent). Our class group is between ten to twelve students. This is the most friendly group at SCALE. We all focus on the future. We all know what we are and where we are going.

In our class Reading/Writing 2 we practice and learn from our experience. This is a section of three hours of class on the computer Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. To concentrate for three hours on the computer screen is a long time, because three hours three times a week is a long time to focus on the computer screen. Our teacher Hilary Sallick came up with the brilliant idea to do some exercise in the middle of our class. After an hour and 30 minutes of class on the screen we all take five to ten minutes of break. As soon as we came back from our break. We all start to do our exercise section. This exercise consists of doing stretches, push ups, squats, and running in the same spot.We all count, and take turns for ten seconds. After you count for ten seconds you pass it to the next person, until every one of us takes the chance to do the ten seconds of exercise.

Being a student at SCALE is amazing and it is fun. We all learn to be a better person in the future. With the help we get from an amazing teacher, Hilary Sallick, it makes my learning, and my exercise experience a lot easier. She has not only taught me how to learn the language, but she has taught me how to do my exercise. She’s always there when I have questions. She’s always there when we do our exercise. She’s there three times a week waiting for me to turn on the computer, so I can take my online classes.
