My process was easy, because it is a simple and

understandable subject that with a photo you can already
know what is about.

The first thing you will see will be a
small black book with a tape of the
same color. Accompanied by a pencil,
this little notebook is an entrance to
my imagination, where I write and
draw, things that I have in mind. You
will see images of all kinds, which he
made through my imagination, such as
my characters or small stories about
them. Basically that notebook is my
escape from reality.
Lo primero que verás será un
pequeño libro de color negro con una
cinta del mismo color. Acompañado de
un lápiz, este pequeño cuaderno es
una entrada a mi imaginación, donde
escribo y dibujo, cosas que tengo en
mente. Veras imagenes de todo tipo,
las cuales realizó por medio de mi
imaginación, como mis personajes o
pequeñas historias sobre ellos.
Básicamente aquel cuaderno es mi
escape de la realidad.

The reason why i chose this topic which is my story in United State
is because i want people to know how i felt like when you come to a
country that you’ve never been in that country, and how everything
is strange and different to my country.
My Story in United States by: Omar
My first days in United States were really difficult because my mind only told me that
when the holidays came I would return to my country, A few months later I went to
school and the first thing they asked me was if I spoke English and obviously said no
because I only knew Quran In my country.
The first time I heard the teachers speak I could not understand anything, but that
did not mean that I should give up or think that I should return to my country and
that was what I thought. After a few months I understood the teachers more, I could
speak the language and did not want to return to my country anymore.
My Second Years I didn’t realize that I could make a lot of friends because i thought
that we were different since we don’t speak the same language and we are from
different countries. But we’re the same it doesn’t matter if we do not speak the same
language or from the same country, the only thing that’s matter is that we all are
human’s and we all are here to have a good profession in our futures.

What i like about my life / Ce que j'aime dans ma vie
 My process:
I chose cell phones and took many photos of people using their cell phones, wrote a text about what I knew about
my topic, created a google slide and presented it in my class. The photos should be taken by you and text written
in your own words.in this essay they gave me the opportunity to do it in their native language, but it is complicated
if we speak our native language a lot all the time because we can get confused and last longer to learn.
We do not know what can happen tomorrow / No sabemos qué pueda pasar mañana”
by Nayeli Peña
How long do we use our phone? How important is our
phone compared to our family. Many times, when we visit
our relatives, we forget that we should take advantage
of the time with those people who are really important to
us, however, we choose to use our cell phone instead of
sharing with them; without thinking about how nobody
lasts forever and that we will all die someday. Today I
have seen many people who cannot last a few minutes
without using their cell phone.Although we do not believe
it, cell phones can distract us even when we go out,
since sometimes we are walking and using them at the
same time and forget to pay attention to what really
matters; our safety and our health.It is time for us to
react and make a difference!
¿Cuánto tiempo podemos durar usando nuestro
teléfono? Cuán importante es nuestro teléfono en
comparación con nuestra familia. Muchas veces, cuando
visitamos a nuestros familiares, olvidamos que debemos
aprovechar el tiempo con esas personas que son
realmente importantes para nosotros, sin embargo,
elegimos usar nuestro teléfono cuando deberiamos
compartir con ellos; sin pensar en que nadie dura
para siempre y que todos moriremos algún día. Muchas
personas no podemos durar unos minutos sin usar
nuestro teléfono y aunque no lo creamos podemos
distraernos incluso cuando salimos, ya que a veces
estamos caminando y usándolos al mismo tiempo y
olvidamos prestar atención a lo que realmente importa
que es nuestra seguridad y salud. ¡Es hora de Que
Reaccionemos y Marquemos la Diferencia!.

My project is about taking advantage of the opportunity we

have as students. Since others would like to have the same
opportunity as us and unfortunately they cannot. But the
most unfortunate thing is that we do not take advantage of it
since that privilege we have for study serves us a lot for our
future, future of our children etc
