One of my favorite movies, Pay it forward




This movie not only has great well known actors like Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and the unforgettable Haley Joel Osment, you can also see Bon Jovi the singer. This movie really touched my heart in different ways:

· As a teacher I am involved in my students’ lives, I keep secrets they tell me and I treasure them with my respect and unconditional loyalty, I know their worries and fears. This movie deals with education and the relationship of a teacher with his student and that’s why I feel connected to it.

· It deals with people’s problematic such as addictions and violence something that is around us, it’s not anything unreal or with imaginary situations. Most importantly it touches a very important point; young people can make a big difference even when they don’t believe they can. To believe in the goodness of human nature and to try to change the world for the better.

· It has a great lesson for life, which is never give up! And even a sole person can make the difference, even with all the negative things around us.

Nowadays with all the negativity in the world, we cannot just let go and pretend nothing is happening. We may not change this world but yet, we can still know that we did our best and we have not only peace of mind but we had the opportunity to change the point of view of others.

One of my favorite countries, Australia



Without a doubt the universe and this world in which we live in has a lot of gorgeous places to visit. I like to travel a lot and one place I would love to visit is Australia. Australia is in Oceania continent between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean. The most common ports and harbors are Melbourne, Newcastle and of course Sydney.

Australia gets my attention not only because it is far away from Mexico, my native country, but because it is really close to another country I would like to visit as well, New Zealand besides I could visit my outgoing Australian friends . I think everybody has heard about the amazing wildlife in Australia such as the kangaroos and the koala bears, Australia also has beautiful reefs and the well known outback that I would like to see , the Uluru .

Australia has breathtaking landscapes such as the Alps, its great ocean roads, the famous Blue Mountains and lots of cliffs, canyons, national parks, valleys, waterfalls, bush lands and a majestic mountain range. Just to think about it, I can feel the peace inside of me.
As a nature lover I would say Australia gets my attention for its beauty as a country and for its people, the aboriginal Australians who have such a rich culture to admire.

Definitely Australia is one of my top ten countries!
