first essay

On Wednesday our first essay was DUE!! I'm nervous and anxious to know my grade. Hopefully I get a good grade. For me this first essay was helpful because with that i would know how our professor works and how he grade the essays. also this essays its like a practice for me because depending on this essay and the grade i get i would work harder on the next essay.

Family

What is family? Based on thefreedictionary.com a fundamental social group in society typically consisting of one or two parents and their children, all the members of a household under one roof. But, for me what is the definition of family? At some families there's not a parent, it could be the mom or the dad, and that could still be a family, because for me family are the persons that would be with you no matter what, helping you, and loving you. For me my family are the most important people in my life. My parents are the ones that had been teaching me to be the person whom am I. I totally love my family, my parents had been trying to show me some importance of being parents. Language, tradition, education, and history are one of the most important things to my family. They had teaching me that education is important because with that my future depends on my education. Language, our language is Spanish, I love to speak Spanish, I like to show others that I'm Latina, and that my primary language is Spanish and that I'm proud of it. Tradition and history basically could be the same thing because even though I used to live in Tijuana for 11 years and then came to San Diego I still do the things that I used to do when I lived on Tijuana, my mom still cook Mexican food and I love to go to Tijuana every weekend to visit my family.

teacher appointment

On Wednesday Mr. Aronson gave us a paper where we had to sign up to get an appointment with him on Thursday or Friday. I got my appointment on Thursday because it was going to be easier for me. I went to his office and he was going to help us with our essays that are due on Friday. Our essays are about three songs and we had to talk about the main idea and the topic of the song. First I was a little confused on what to write on the essay, if I was being clear on my ideas or if I was doing a good work. 

Mr. Aronson gave me a lot of help and a lot of new ideas to make my essay stronger and more clear. Also I was not sure if we had to talk about rhetoric and main idea in a different paragraph. All that little questions I had the opportunity to ask him on the appointment and know I am more sure on what to write about. I have all my questions clear and many ideas to make my essay stronger and better.

peer review day (:

This passed Wednesday we did our peer review for our first essay on English 115. First I was a little nervous because Mr.Aranson told us that we were going to work on teams so they could check our errors and also write to us on the kisses ans wishes paper. I was really nervous because I was thinking that I was going to have too many mistakes. I just calm myself and thought to myself that everything was going to be good and that the information that my classmates were going to give was going to be really helpful for me and for my essay.

I give my group some help on what to do on their essays to make a better essays, for example I told them maybe to explain more about the song, or any other thing they were talking about.they also told me that I was doing good on my essay but that I had to make some changes and to try to make more clear my opinions. I did like this peer reviewing because its going to help me a  lot working on this essay and also for the next essays that we are going to do.
