BYE HIGH SCHOOL

My last year at the high school is finishing and I think that I have to stop a second and think about it, think about what I have learnt during this six years and I’m not talking about knowledge, I’m talking about all the experiences that I have learnt.

When I arrived at the high school I was a child, I was worried about simply things that now are insignificant. During these years I meet new people that now are really important to me and I became inseparable with people that were only simple friends. Also I learnt that the people come but also can go and this isn’t something bad because if happens means that had to be that.

During these years I laugh a lot but I also cried, I enjoy the classes and I bored them… But what I take of this experience is good at 99% every trip, every excursion, every firend… I think that in a time I will miss that…..

Venezuela: Ten people killed in Caracas looting incident

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-39674085

Three weeks ago started in Venezuela a revolution, started protests against the government of President Nicolas Maduro. They demand new presidential elections and are also calling for a release of politicians arrested since Maduro took office four years ago, leaders are calling for new presidential elections and the release of politicians arrested since Mr Maduro took office four years ago. They are seeing how his country is facing a serious economic crisis with a inflation expected to reach 700%.

These days have been days of violence, ten people have been killed in Caracas and the Police tried to regain control of situation in a heavy form.

Even thought, the opposite is fighting for his rights and are demanding to the poblation revolution because they are really thinking on his cause.

I can’t believe how all the countries that say themselves developed countries are seeing what is happening in Venezuela and don’t do anything. There the people are fighting for a democracy something that would have to be liability in around the world, any person can live in a dictatorship that minimise they rights. 

MY LONDON TRIP 2

Last December I went to London with my family to visit my cousin who was living there. A week ago I went again to London, this time with the high school. Were to trips really different the first was more like London life we didn’t enter in any museum and the second was more educational we went to three museums which I think that were really interesting, also we visit the entire city of London in four days, so we finished all the days tied. The problem that I find at the second travel is that we were a group, and I want to take advantage of the day and I’m never tied of visit a city and a country but there were so many people who were tied after dinner and we can’t visit to much London at night. What I Loved of the last trip was visit London with my friends and I enjoyed a lot.

Is there a soulmate for you?

 A soulmate could be something really different to each person, so I think that I can’t close my mind in my own perception.  According to the different dictionaries, a soul mate is a person with whom one has a strong affinity, shared values and tastes, and often a romantic bond, also is someone whom you have an immediate connection the moment you meet.

From this point I want define what is for me a soulmate, and answer if is there a soul mate for me or for anyone.

First of all I don’t think that a soulmate is a partner, someone which you have a romantic relationship for me a soulmate could be a friend, is someone who “complete” you. A soulmate is a person who can be your opposite, but together you are unstoppable maybe anyone understand your relationship but you do and you are happy, so is enough!

Unfortunately I think that you don’t know that someone is your soulmate until you lose it, because you realise that you will never find someone like him, you will never have a the same relationship with anyone. The relation between soulmates doesn’t have to be forever, can be broken.

From my point of view, a soulmate doesn’t have to be your life partner, even thought is a romantic relationship, because I think that a life partner doesn’t have to be a soulmate. For me a life-partner is someone which you have sons, a house, you share part of your life together but maybe isn’t your better half, you love him for your memories and adventures together and because you feel comfortable by his side.

All of that is what a soulmate is for me, because I think that is something to much important to define with a line. So now I’m ready to say if is there a soulmate for me.

 On one hand I want to think that there is a soulmate for me, because I think that the feeling  has to be amazing, maybe I have found but I have not noticed yet or maybe is someone whom I don’t have any relation...

But in the other hand found my soulmate scars me for the lost, I think that lose a soulmate is lose something really important, but maybe is the price that we have to paid to find something amazing as a soulmate.

I think that everyone has a soulmate, a love or a friend, but in a place of this world it has to be someone who can complete us, someone who can solve our defects but also accept them. The only thing that we have to do is found it, obviously is a difficult task but I think that we only have let the life pass and when our soulmate appears try to realise what does it means, what he or she means for us before lost it.

Suzanne Barakat: Islamophobia killed my brother. Let's end the hate

Suzanne Barakart is a Muslim girl who explains her brother and sister and law story. They were a young and happy couple until his neighbour enter at his home and shout them, he finished with his life only for a reason, islamophobia.

After the murder the neighbour made a statement, a false statement and no one investigate it. After that she tried to contact with as people as she could. She received the help of his parent’s neighbour meal, who is a journalist, he helped them giving voice at Suzanne and his family. 24 hours later she was interviewed on the CNN and too many other newspapers published the new, giving them the voice that the justice avoids.

In this TED talk she wants to claim that Islamophobia is something to much common in our society, also she is from USA when its governor is Donald Trump who has a racist and intolerance ideology and this only increases this ideology around the country.

This racism is known by many people, but only a little part of this one acts. Is this what Suzanne is claiming a help, a little bit of solidarity with the discriminated people, in her case for the religion.

If a story moves you, act on it

Sisonke Msimang talks about her observation about the story telling, the power of stories and their limitations, particularly the stories interested on social injustice, because stories are everywhere and she considers stories as the antidote bias.

Stories can explain what we are “scare” to talk about, some “tabu” issues that we don’t feel good talking about. She has special interested in not fiction stories, the stories that are more than entertainment and she think that stories don’t necessarily make the world a better place and she presents three reasons to contend this thesis.

1. Stories can create an illusion solidary, you feel good only listen is insufficient to make a social action.
2. Every story had a characters and sometimes we don’t like it, this can’t be reason to involve ourselves in a story and social action, this don’t have to influence us.
3. Media is necessary, credible facts, combined with powerful voices.

In conclusions she say that it’s the justice what that makes the world a better place, not stories. Audience can also help make the world a better place if becomes more curious, if the audience recognize story teller as and intellectual work and finally and on opinion essay the most important is get out of screans and look the real world.

She finish with a quote that I liked so much: “Storytellers can help us to dream, but it’s up to all of us to have a plan for justice”.
