MY NEAR FUTURE

Dear Lourdes, 

According to one of the entries of Word Reference a dream is a reverie about the future. Every one of us lived with a goal but we always find a challenge to overcome it, doesn’t matter the age or the difficulty of our goal, we live on dreams to reach them. 

Ooh !! Forgive me for my bad manners, I’m Judith Carpio your student of second baccalaureate. The vast majority of my classmates don’t know yet what they want to do in a  near future. But I’m an exception. So, I’m not utterly an exception because I’m split between my heart and my head and furthermore each one has its own goal.

My main goal is to focus on a degree to become a dancer, so I want to train my body and study to be a famous dancer. Afterwards I would establish a dance company with my twin, because he loves this world as me. On the other hand, my head has as a goal a double degree of educational practice because I love children and I would improve the current system education.

As I said before there are a lot of challenges and I've found one. If I follow my heart I’ll get into complex world that in most of the cases the people don’t succeed. But if I follow my head I’ll spend five years studying something that don’t complete me. I hope my dancer teacher, my parents and some months thinking about my future help me to take the correct decision. 

The speech of Barack Obama suggest me what is more important: my heart or my head. I finally decided to follow both parts and I’ll combine it. One of the sentence that he pronounced was: “But at the end of the day, we have the most dedicated teacher, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the rolls. and non of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities ”. 

These words encourage me for work hard this year because it’ll be tough to overcome for selectivity, TDR or other challenges we’ll meet on the way of studies. So as Obama said, teachers, parents or schools don’t do our work or tasks, We have to realize because nobody writes our future. This is another sentence that the President of USA said: “No one’s written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future”. The sentence makes me think about my two goals in the future. I know I can do both but it will be difficult to overcome. With no doubt whatsoever I’m unsure I want to be a dancer and a teacher in my future. So, I’ll study and no one can’t change my mind. 

At last but not least there are other words that touch a nerve string. And he said: “Every single one of you has something you’re good at. Every single on of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is”. I discovered what I can contribute, but I still have not decided. The world is set up of millions of people, so everybody is different and contribute in their own way. So we don’t have to let us down if we aren’t yet clear what we want to di in a future, but we have to become aware of our studies.

I look forward  to hearing from you. 

Best wishes. 

Judith Carpio.

WHY 30 IS NOT THE NEW 20

In this writing I'll talk about today's twentysomethings based in a video of Ted Talk. Right now our society is long-delayed than decades before. Nowadays the young people finish the studies at twenty-odd, so this act make them

grab life with complete calm.  They think that have time until thirty for settle down, find a couple and rise a family.

But the people which belive it they don't have to do it. Many investigations and profesionals say hold up cause serious problems and consequences. The twenties are the adulthood development and if we leave all for do at thirties this development stop. So, the way of our life is decided in twenties. We don't have to find a couple, have a job or rise the family before thirties but we must think about what we would do in a future.

I really like the end of the video. She said to twentysomethings that they have to pave the way for when they arrive at therties will not have to do all and they will not lost in life. She recomend don't spend time in absudities or things for kill time because in every second of our life we are deciding the way of what we would be.

Along the video I didn't undertand some words. So I look for what it means. The first one was Twentysomething. it is the person who comprise age of twenty to thirty. The second one was weak ties, in this context it means contacts because she is refering that everybody must have contacts for get a work because we live in a society where everybody favour the acquaintance. The last word I didn't know was knucklehead that means a person stupid or fool.

If you want to see the video for make your own concept of all  I explain you in this post, here I leave the link.
