Experience that impact our decisions.

I believe our experiences impact on our decisions because when you experience things you make mistakes or you try to make what’s best of something. I believe when people make decisions in their own lives they try not to make the same mistakes and learn from past experiences and what they have done to change their future. I believe that these decisions impact on our lives because when someone makes the same mistake over and over again, the person does not consider this mistake an issue but just something that does not really matter to them. When I was younger in my child years I told my friends I had everything I wanted and told them that I could do things that I really couldn’t. I told them I could do cartwheels, flips, ride a bike really well, and like even swimming really fast. I used to say these things but when it came down to actually trying to prove myself I really could not do any of these things. Then around 1st grade I realized that it is not a good thing to lie to your friends because really you make friends by showing who you really are and they really are supposed to like you for you. It was a past experience and I believe that it was something that I did learn and as I grew up I really was able to be around people I really enjoy being around.
I feel like Chris McCandless died with no regrets or sadness because he did what he wanted and lived his life to the fullest of his abilities.

best advice:D

The best advice I have ever gotten was probably advice about college. I wanted to go to a college that was near where I lived and I wanted to go somewhere that was a small school. I also was not comfortable with dorming so i did not want to dorm when I went to college. I made my decision by going to gwenedd mercy and I applied there because I had advice from my friend and she said it was a good school for education.

Stones Into SChools

1. what i like from the book Stones into schools is that it is written about now of day society and how obama is trying to change the education system for students. It is all based on political news and how the society needs to change based on the education being taught around them.
2. I noticed that this book is all fact which kind of gets to me because i understand the material well but i am not gaining too much interest. It is a good book with good inferences and facts but it is not a book i would pick off the shelf and read again.
3. KEY QUOTE:D
4. Obama>> as the care taker of the situations because hes the current president.
Symbol>> violence could get involoved around schools if problems arent taken care of but the government is putting strong hands on the whole thing.

Lessons Learned...

Me: Hey Che!!!!!!!~

Che: Hey Sonya!
How are you today??
What do you want to talk about?

Me: I want to talk about...hmm
Let’s see
Why are you going to South America???
What is your main purpose for this trip?
How do you think it will benefit your life in any way?

Che: I think that this trip will open up a new door for me. I feel that it will be an opportunity for me to go out and try all different kinds of new things.


Me: I feel that you are going through something more than just a journey. It almost seems like a waste of time but it’s all about the experience. What is your specific goal in going all around South America before you die? I feel that you do not have a good reason to go all around the country. For what? Meeting new strangers you have met before.

Che: It’s more than just that... I am more interested in meeting the people because of the culture around them. I want to learn and experience something new before I die. I feel that a desire or a want that you cannot take away.
Me: But, still don't you want to go more all around different countries other than South America. I feel that you would get to see more than just what you are experiencing.

Going on a Journey
Leading to different places in South America
meeting new people and seeing the as you go ad
Initially going by Motorcycle
Transforming my observations of the life of the impoverished
THis road i travel presents a picture of the Latin American Identity
It is being more revealed as I take a look at their culture
THrough the characters I encounter I learn injustices of the impoverished faces
The people are exposed as if they never have encountered in their hometown
The trip overall exposed me to the Latin American Identity
I am thinking of the future and realize I am still writing but for who?
Myself?
My daughter?
The people I have met?
I do not really know but what I do know is...
this diary is going to leave belonging
A sense of indentity and experience written by another soul

ROad Trip:D

If I were to go on a trip dealing with 8 to 10 destinations I would go around Europe because I wanted to explore the different cultures. I would also like to go to the Caribbean's because of all the different beaches and the variety of fresh fruit. I thinking going to the carribeans would be a more of a peaceful trip to go and get away from everything. I think I would want to go to Europe and go shopping and do multiple things to get around and just go with the flow. I would want to go to fashion shows and just walk on the streets like Newyork and shop and look around. I Would also like to go to the Eifel tower, and london to see alot of different sights.
