Education

I totally agree with the fact that relaxing and doing hobbies is just as important as doing homework. I agree with that idea because I believe that people have to be healthy in all ways. Hobbies and relaxing make a person to be emotionally healthy, if you do something that you like and put effort on it, you can achieve your goals in an unstressful way. Homework is important because it increases the discipline and the value of responsibility but hobbies as reading or practicing a sport also increase discipline and responsibility. When you learn how to relax in a difficult situation, you are learning something new, just as if you do your math homework. I think that if people can have a balance between relaxing and doing hobbies with homework, the can consider both important in their daily life.

Situation of elderly people in Costa Rica

Nowadays, in Costa Rica the elderly population is suffering of discrimination. Their families abandom them in nursering homes and never visit them. This has become a very common thing in costarican society and it has been increasing. Young people don't help them or respect them as part of our history. Elderly people sometimes can't move around the city in a comfortable way, because the city doesn't have the facilities for them in the street or in the bus. People don't value the big knowledge that they have anf unfortunetly they become just a '' burden'' for the society.

My pet

I have a pet named Lucky. He is a very small dog, and he is really smart. One of the reasons why i think he is smart is becuase since the first day he came to my house, i had taught him that when he is doing something wrong i say "no!" and he stops and looks at me, then if he is doing something really bad, i hit him a little bit in his mouth and i say "no!" so he stops and learns not to do it again. Also, i taught him to bring me the ball. Everytime i play with him, i throw the ball and he runs to get it, then i call him, and he comes to me with the ball. This two tricks that my dog had learned it took a lot of time for me to teach him, but now he is educated and that is proof that he is intelligent and obedient. I will try to keep teaching him more tricks because i want him to be a good dog.

Importance of sleeping for you

For me, it is really important to sleep because is the way I can recover all the energy to keep going on every day. If I sleep more than 8 hours, I’m going to be in a good mood and good attitude for the rest of the day. But if I sleep less than 8 hours in a night, probably I’m going to be the rest of the day tired, cranky and fatigue. So if I’m not in a good mood I’m going to be lazy to do things and sleepy in class or probably too stressed to talk and treat people in a good way. So the importance of sleeping for me is because it makes me rest and when I wake up I’m going to feel good and happy for a new day.
