"THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT"

One solar system and just one planet that can sustain human life. What are we doing to preserve the only place in which we are able to live?
This is not a #RandomQuestion, this is a fact the we have been ignoring from quite a long time, and now when we can feel that everything is getting really bad we are "waking up". The environment always has been something that few talk about but, what is the importance of the environment in our lives? Well, that question can be easily answered:
If we don't recycle, we destroy the land with waste.
If we destroy the land, we don't have trees.
If we don't have trees, we don't have clean air.
If we don't have clean air, we can't breath.
If we can't breath, we die.
EASY!

Now I'm going to give you some tips that help the environment and also your pocket, so that will be a win-win situation.

Save energy, this seems really easy to do but the reality is that --we humans-- we are so used to wasting energy that some of the things that I'll write here are maybe extreme.

Use renewable energy sources, almost in every part of the world it's common to use "fossil fuels"for energy wich is not good for our environment. So, renewable resources are better for the environment and cheaper, you should try it!

Sometimes it's good to take a walk, CO2 is a result of exhaust fuels that any vehicle needs. Reducing  the use of  your car also reduces the money you spend on gas so is win-win situation!

Save water. This is one of the main things we need to survive and also even when the planet is 70% water just  30% is water that we "can drink" and furthermore the majority of that water is in the poles. So remember water is a non-renewable resource SAVE IT!

Recycle, recycle, recycle.

When you recycle you are not saving the planet for you, but for your kids to play on it!

Another way to improve your English Skills

 What do you think if I tell you that going to classes are not enough? In order to overcome that invisible barrier of language. I will give you my secret, because is not your school's fault, we always need more in order to be successful.

 I had been living for the past 7 months in EF NY, Tarrytown, New York, EEUU. The classes are really interesting and challenging but if I want to improve my English level is up to me, to work a little extra to achieve my goal.

-.-Tips

1.-. Study hard. Just go to class is not enough believe me, is up to you work hard to full-field the English level that you want

2.-. Watch English TV without subtitles. Sounds really weird but is true, it helps me a lot, movies that at the beginning I didn't understand because my listening wasn't good enough but after practicing with something that I like my listening improve a lot and it means that now I don't have any problem to understand movies. A big part of English is listening and in order to improve it this is a fun way.

3.-. Find Friends. One of my dear friends here told me one day that for us (students from different countries together in another as a foreigner students) is really easy to have friends because we all came in the same "condition" alone and with some fears. We can connect with each other in a way that is deeper and truthful. So, take advantage of those opportunities and talk your English out. Work it! Your English is waiting for you to be used.

4.-. Think, Talk and Write in English. Sounds really hard and in my experience I'll tell you, the hardest part is think in English but the Speaking part as I wrote before is up to you. Don't get desperate you'll make it but you need at the beginning be confident and force yourself to do it.

5.-. Talk to Native English Speakers. In mi case it helps me a lot in my School I had been lucky, my teachers and staff are really friendly and talking to them is always something that I enjoy and at the same time if I have some mistake speaking they always with a smile and good intentions correct me.

 This kind of actions helped me a lot to develop my English Skills here in USA for my First 7 months in USA.

My Free Time

   I don't have enough free time; I mean I'll love to have more. 

   My favorite activity when I have free time is one that makes me feel really good, let me share my emotions and express my feelings, if I'm in an stressful environment it help me to find my focus and  my "Zen".

   When I was 6 years old I were in kindergarten then I use to sing a lot and my teachers in that moment make a show for our parents. Guess who was singing?  Everything starts in that moment. Then I join almost every Glee Club in my middle school, high school, University and also my church choir. My live had been involved in music since I can remember. My aunts, uncles, grandparents, everyone except my parents (they have no knowledge about music whatsoever). 

   Being in the Glee Club in my schools help me to develop confidence and actually (even if it sound bored or supper geek) everyone want to be part of the group but just a few could join the club after all the auditions.

   The experience in my church has been the best experience in my live, it help me no just to see myself as a person who can make a difference but, furthermore that I can make an impact in other people with my words and with my music. I can talk deep issues with others and make them know that I understand their problems and I can help them.

  The first time in my live that I performed in front of more than a thousand persons was a live changing experience and made me realize that singing and be surrounded by music is something that I want for the rest of my live.

How social media affect a person's self-esteem?

Social media has become one of the most important aspect in our society, every aspect that involve our normal life right now is touch even a little bit for internet and obviously for any of the social media now on the "Market"





But really, it affect us in some way?

In my point of view SM (social media) has good thing and also bad things, and if you use it wisely can be a huge tool to help you in a lot of aspects... what? you don't understand me? OK! let me explain it to you.

First of all lets talk about what exactly is self-esteem, a easy way to explain self-esteem would be...

When you see yourself in a mirror, do you like what you see? 
When you walk in the middle of a crowded place do you fell that people is looking at you in a bad way?
What do you think about yourself?
Are you happy being who you are?
Those are basic questions that help me in one point of my life to understand that i had no self-esteem so i could improve some thoughts  to be happy in my own skin. because at the end was just me having problems with myself.

In this season that we are living, the fact that we have so much social media  involve in our live can work in our favor o toward our doom (and yeah sound  a lot dramatic, let me explain myself) 

Everything in this life that we live should have a balance  and with the SM we need to be more careful. I accept SM can be really helpful when you have a business, when you need to connect with people from other part of the world, when you want to find someone special o even in school to find information of a specific subject. As I told you SM if we know how to use it is a really good tool that will make our life easy in different ways, then why I am telling you here that be careful?
There's a lot of danger in the internet and in the SM now days. People that pretend to be other people, people who just want to steel in someway information and people that even they can pretend to know you.

A lot of people put a lot of information in their blogs or SM   that makes easy to other people not just to follow them on line but make it easy to follow them in real life.

In some cases a lot of people pretend to be someone else in SM, pretend to have a carrier even more money, and that may seems good or funny but it actually is like playing with your reality. I know a few people who change their personality and pictures in order to have more like in Fb or more followers on Twitter, and let me tell you something if you are interesting in doing something like that i can assure you it will not make you happy. those persons  had a pick of happiness when they had more followers or audience in they SM but they realize in some point that that audience was following "another person" and that person wasn't them. 

Every follower of friend request have the power of making you feel happy?
Why?

SM is important in our society and is really IMPOSSIBLE try to live without them... always remember...

Be yourself, be happy, everything will work out for you! 

But be always honest!
