5.2 Memories
“Love the way you lie” by Eminem
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
That's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
That's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now it's a steel knife in my windpipe
I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight
High off of love drunk from my hate
It's like I'm huffin' paint and I love it the more I
suffer, I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me,
she fuckin' hates me
And I love it, wait, where you goin'?
I'm leavin' you, no you ain't come back
We're runnin' right back, here we go again
So insane, cause when it's goin' good it's goin' great
I'm superman with the wind in his back, she's lois lane
But when it's bad it's awful, I feel so ashamed I snap
Whose that dude? I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her
I never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength

 You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe
When you with em you meet and neither one of you even know
what hit em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills used to get em
Now you're getting fuckin' sick of lookin' at em
You swore you'd never hit em, never do nothin' to hurt em
Now you're in each other's face spewin' venom in your words
when you spit em
You push pull each other's hair
Scratch pop hit em throw em down pin em
So lost in the moments when you're in em
It's the face that's the culprit, (?)
So they say it's best to go your seperate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
Cause today that was yesterday
Yesterday is over, it's a different day
Sound like broken records playin' over
But you promised her next time you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no nintendo game, (?)
Now you get to watch her leave out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane
Now I know we said things, did things, that we didn't mean
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
But your temper's just as bad as mine is, you're the same
 as me
When it comes to love you're just as blinded
Baby please come back, it wasn't you, baby it was me
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is I love you too much to walk away though
Come inside, pick up the bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm just gon aim my fist at the drywall
Next time there won't be no next time
I apologize even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games I just want her back
I know I'm a liar if she ever tries to fuckin' leave again
I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire
This song represents for me the good and the bad moments of a relationship. I choose it because in some paragraphs of the lyric I feel the same and it also with the video. I also like Eminem because he sings with feeling. This song brings me good moments like when you are in love and you try to share all your time with that person. But it also brings me bad things like violence, jealous, hate, the same routines and the same mistakes and problems. The situation of breaking up and how do you feel.
I closed my eyes, you were there, then I opened them and I could not see you. In a moment everything came gray, full of clouds. Thinking that is going to rain, I closed my eyes trying to find you, and then started to rain. It was raining a lot in my heart, so many, that there was a tsunami. I thought that raining never is going to stop, but in one moment to another, without thinking it was daily, of course, with the havocs of the rain.
Tsunami was gone. I was with life, but I was scared of continuing living, what can happen. But I took all my forces and I continued living. There was something in me that did not leave me alone. It was lie if something was unsettled between this catastrophe and me. I did not know what it was. So I continuing searching what was it. But the only thing that I can did was face to face Tsunami. I was very scared but I had to do it.
Then, I face to face the catastrophe. I was insecure, with fear and pain in my heart, remembering all the things that it did to me. But the things had changed. Everything started with fear, but now I have the heaven in y hands. I can touch the starts because they are witnesses of our achievements. We cannot go back, we have to show our love, and how my catastrophe is now my heaven. I have a past with my catastrophe, a past that almost kill me, but now is my reason to live.
This song for me is the situation of a lot f couples. The moments shared between two people that are in love. But sometimes that is not enough, so sometimes people say things they do not want to mean. This song brings me a lot of memories, some good, some bad but almost bad memories, mistakes that I had done and sometimes I continuing doing. Sometimes the violence, the bad feelings and the people influences in a relationship and sometimes can destroy it.

4.3 He is plucky
5. Conclusion
5.1 The moment when I met Seco
5.2 Moments we spent together
5.3 What makes him special for me?

It was a normal day at school; I was with my best friend in that moment, when he walked in front of me. He walked self-assured, saying hi to my friend. He looked lively like his soul was full of happiness and love. Something in him told me that he was gentle, vivacious, sincere and zestful. His energy was very bright and amusing, something in me wanted to know more about him, he das something mysterious, so the next day that I saw him, I started to say hi to him and both had common friends, so it was not difficult to start a new friendship with a boy that made me fell faithful. Since that day, we were friends. When we were in high school we always went to parties together, shared our feelings about life, shared our experiences in our relationship and we have made our life. He is a soldier, a gentle soldier abundant of love and compassion. Not comfortable with insecurity in our country, wishful and anxious to make a better Mexico.
Seco was a fighter. He practice boxing. He loved the sport; the emotions that boxing produced to him. For Seco, boxing is a way to be prepared for our own life, face a problem when is going to hit you. He sees fights like the way to see life, when he touches the opponents is like he is touching his own life and when he wins is like he is winning to himself. Maybe the sound of hits makes him feel alive and the taste of hitting another person is as he tastes his own blood. He is a combative boy that fights to every problem which presents to his face. That is why he loves Army, for him, it is his life, his passion, so he plucky defends us, that is why I am so proud of him. Even if he has to sacrifice his own life or he is unwell, he always is helpful and protector. Another reason because I am proud of him is because his honesty. He is one of the most honest people that I had met, he does not know the word lie and cowardly. Seco has a dominating thought that allows him to be fair, kind-hearted and mature.
Seco is a lovely boy that cares about his friends. Sometimes he does not show his feelings, maybe because he has always in mind death. He sees cruel and horrible deaths everyday and he knows that he can die in one second. The sound of ambulances, police cars and alarms remember him that death is at the next door. He can touch death with his hands and feel it as his own death. Sometimes he smells the stinky bodies of death people, but it is part of his passion, he does it without complaining. Maybe those are the reasons why sometimes he keeps his distance, to do not hurt our hearts, but on the other hand, he wants to spend moments with his friends, he is a jolly 19 year-old boy, when he spent time with me, he is an amusing, vivacious and dynamic boy that always makes jokes to makes me feel better. He is very funny even though he has to pass through very difficult and horrible moments. He knows how it is Mexico, he knows the real situation of this country, but he wants me to be a peaceful girl, enjoying life, so he is always caring about me, protecting me.
He is a soldier, but even though people think that soldiers are cruel, aggressive, dangerous and evil, they are not. In this case, Seco is kind-hearted; he always thinks in people and takes care of them. He feels when people are peaceful and when they need protection. I think that when he protects people he can taste victory. But he is also combative; he can smell when people are not fair and evil, so he fights for Mexico. He is fearless, he is not afraid even to die. He is plucky when he hears the sound of help

5. Conclusion

Cholos are social gans that are against by society. This gang is very common in cities, because there are a lot of youth people that are finding themselves. Rancholos are a group of people trying to be like Cholos. Rancholos are also discriminated by society, including by Cholos, because Cholos think that they only want to look like them. A big difference between them are their faith to God, the clothes, but but are also violent people that are against the society. The origins of these gans are from the USA.

A very important thing for Cholos are the way they drees. For them, clothes mean a lot, like the way they are and their personalities, how they take care of themselves. All Cholos use genuine brand clothes, most of them is D&G and ECKO, size XXL and XXXL, using white, black, brown and blue colors, however they do not use pink, yellow or purple. Their clothes have to be ironing very carefuly and their clothes have to be very clean. Rancholos use non genuine brand clothes. Most of them are low income people thar worry about what they are going to eat instead of buying expensive clothes. They do not worry about the way they dress, if they are genuine brand clothes, it only matter that looks like. Rancholos use all the colors and use sizes XL and XXL. Some of them iron their own clothes, but not all of them.

A very significant characteristic of Cholos is their faith to God. They are very catholics and all of Cholos wear a rosary around their neck, some of them have tattoos with the image of Jesus or Virgin Mary on their bodies. They think that they will take care of them, a rosary is a symbol of protection. Rancholos also wear rosaries,  but they do not have tattoos. Rosaries for them are part of the attire, a way to look good, like Cholos. Some of them are catholics, people that believe in God, but most of them use rosaries as a fashionable accesory.

Cholos and Rancholos are gangs not accepted by society, because these gangs not look like the society. They do not act as society, most of the times using violence to get money or defendig their territory. Because most of the members of these gangs do not work. The dress of this gangs is not allowed in the society because it is not the look for normal people. Cholos ad Rancholos´origins come from USA, by the immigrant people. Immigrant people were the people who started these gangs.

Cholos are gangs that dress very well with genuine brand clothes, are very catholics. Rancholos do not use genuine brand clothes, some of them are catholics, but they do not have tatoos of Jesus, only wear rosaries as accesories. Both gangs are against the society. For them, all the people have to have the same opportunities, no matter their appareance. Cholos and Rancholos started in USA.

4.2   Men think women are physically weak

5.       Conclusion
5.1   Origins of boxing
5.2   Place of female boxers
Boxing stared in 1700 AC, in Greece. In that year, people thought that was a game of Gods, so was practiced in the Olympic Games. But the fights are different before, In Greece, boxers did not use gloves, only leather, and the fights were so explosive and aggressive, that sometimes they kill each other. In XX century, was when women started to boxing, spite nowadays this sport is for women and men, in the Olympic Games women are not allow. The first champion women was Elizabeth Wlkinson, but some of them are Ana María Torres, Cristina Hammer, Marie Rieder, Marcela Acuña, Yvonne Caples, Para Draine, etc.
 Nowadays women are allowed in boxing. Women have a place in this sport, but the question why is very general. We are in XXI century and our society can face to face the equality and the idea that women and men have the same rights. Also they have the same capacity of training; maybe men have more ability doing some kind of exercise and women doing another, so women have the same discipline to train all day. Any person can develop themselves in any sport no matter if they are men or women.
People can think that women are not skillful because it is not common that women practiced a lot of exercise when they were younger, but women can develop their skills faster than men. Women can be fast and strong as other men if they do exercise and practice. A typically characteristic of boxers is that they have to have kind-heart, it is a very important characteristic that not all of male boxers develop because they think that have a good heart is girly, but female boxers are different, when they fight, they give all their hearts, but at finish fighting they leave the boxer in the ring and the women is out.
Despite women have the same capacity of boxing, men think that they are not strong enough to practice this tough sport, because they think women still been the weak sex and because of that when men look female boxing they think it is inappropriate and dikes for them, only men can box. Boxing is a men´s sport that only men can practice. Other men look female boxers as a thret, because their personalities and with obvious reason the female boxers are dangerous.
Boxing started in Greece in 1700 AC, thinking that this sport was God´s sport, but this sport has been changed in their articles they can use and the rules. Before boxers did not use gloves, they used leather and they did not used protector on their bodies. Now times had changed in every sense, now, women can also fight. They have an important place in this sport, even women cannot fight in Olympic Games, and they are trying to get the same equality for women and men. In some countries are not allow women in boxing, places like Affanistan, Egypt and some oriental countries.

4.3 Educational or professional research using electronic tools
5. Conclusion
5.1 Importance of electronic tools
5.2 Do I like it?
5.3 Importance as a teachers.

I started using the computer when I was in elementary school, there my teachers tought me the history of computers, th parts and how to use them. I dislike to use elecctronic tools because for me, it is not personalized, it is better to do it face to face and write things with your own hand. But leaving all these things behind, I can notice the importance of electronic literacy, because the world is changing and as future teachers we cannot let behind the new ways to teach and learn.

In elementary school I also I learned the history of computers, the parts of computers and how to use Power Point and Office. Nowadays, I use Internet for sending E-mails, Facebook and Messenger, the use of Internet for me, is for doing homework and to be in contact with my friends, But on the other hand, I hate to use Internet, because I prefer books and personal contact with my friends. The limitations that I have are that I really do not like to use computers, so I do not pay attention for how to use them. But I can see that computers are very useful, because not all the time I can have personal contact or find all the information in one second. But, in contrast, I dislike to use them I can notice that computers have a significant role in the educational area, because as I already said, we can find a lot of information in a moment.

Nowadays, I use a lot of electronic tools like Google and Mssenger. I use Google for finding information for my homeworks and messenger to be in contact with my friends. The use of Internet has influenced my L1 because I can read books in Internet, if I do not know certain word, I can search the meaning in Internet too. I have a lot of weaknesses using electronic literacy because I hate to use it, so I do not care a lot about learning new things, I think that my only streght is that I am young, so I can learn easily. I think that word processors are the most important things because there I can do homework and presentations in Power Point, but also the use of sending E-mails to contact my friends. For me, the social rooms including chat rooms, messenger and Facebook, etc., are more for pleasure than a necessity.

My expectations of using Information Tecnologies are that in my future I can use them in team work with people of another country. A plan that I have is using Messenger for contacting new people out of the country to help me as a translator. I think that nowadays the virtual libraries are very important, because if the student cannot go to the library, he or she can find books in Internet and also homeworks that are proved by the own school or university. I think that the use of electronic tools is important in educational things like, right now, that I am studyng to find information that can help me to continue the major and later in the professional area using Internet platforms to students and to be in contact with other teachers.

The use of electronic tools in nowadays is very important, because that is the new way to be in contact with people that is not around us. These tools help to find new information and in less time. I do not like this new thing, but I realize that it is a new way to know different things and maybe if electronic tools did not existist we would never know that they exist. As future teachers we can find new methods on line that can help us to teac better or know new ones that are from others countries.

I know anything and everything about me

1. Introduction
    1.1 Myself
    1.2 My family
    1.3 My passions
    1.4 My dislikes

    2.1 When I was working

    3.3 Playing the violin
4. Future plans
    4.1 Finish the major
    4.2 Finish the French course
    4.3 Star to study a new language
5. Conclusion

My life? I am pretty sure it is cool, right now I have everything. I am a short girl, with brown eyes and hair. My family is very close and they help me when I need it. My passions are music, rodeo, boxing and social life with my friends, but also I dislike some things like vegetables and soccer, and emotional things like lies and hypocresy. But for me, The most important things are things and feelings that peolple share with you.

In the last vacation, I worked in a gym as instruct, but the pay was bad and the work very hard, so I quit. But going back  to years, I played the violin in "Ensamble Real de Jóvenes Universitarios" and I gave a lot of concerts, but those days have gone and they cannot come back. Going further back, when I was in kindergarden and in elementary school I used to practice gymanstics, I was a child in those days, but I love to practice. Those things that I used to do when I was younger have passed, but I remember them and I am glad that I had done. My childhood and part of my young were very funny, interesting and full of life.

Nowadays, I am boxing, well, training to become a boxer, because that is the only sport that I like, in general, I hate sports, but I am in love with boxing. For me, boxing is a way to escape of stress, problems, also to be in good shape and to make new friends. Those are friends that cannot be found in a school, only in a gym, specially in a ring. That kind of friends are tougher than everyone that I know, but they are people with good feelings and sensible. Another thing that I love is to write. To write my thoughts, ideas, feelings and anything that comes to my mind, and those things that may come I translate all these feelings on a piece of paper and I try to give them the best meaning. Some are deeper than others. Other feelings are happy and fun, but everything depends on what come to my mind. Right now, I am returning to my violin lessons. It is a big step for me, because it was something that I had left behind. It was part of my past, and I had the idea that I would never bring to my present. But I am happy with my decisions and I feel proud of myself, because I do not let my passions die.

I think that my future is not clear yet, because now I try to live my life the best I can, I have a lot of plans for my future, but things can change in seconds. I try to think in my future and I see myself finishing my major, maybe with a job or maybe with opportunities to travel to Canada, because there, the people speak English and French, but I want to finish my course of French and then use my knowledge in Canada. But that is not all, I want to start studying a fourth language

My life is full of different and contrastive things like playing the violin and boxing, but I am a 19 year-old girl, who studies English Language Teaching, but I have a lot of dreams. My family and friends are part of my life, with the bad and the good things. I know which is the people I can trust in, because I hate hypocresy and people who lie. The most important thing for me is to be with people that love you and you love them, so part of my personality is to be sensitive and take care of people.
