Family Tradition

My mom thinks the one thing we have for a tradition is the tacos she makes when my sister comes home. Her homemade tacos bring us all together. There is no arguments when we have tacos together. We all get along, have nice conversation, and spend quality time together.

The one thing that is unique and special about her tacos is she makes her own hardshell tacos by buying soft shell and soaking it in cooking oil. It gives it a special taste and and unique style. She got the method from her mom, and I plan to keep the tradition going.

Movie week

It really opened my eyes how rough the conditions were in Africa. I loved how hard they worked when they came to America. They were working all day at school, then working just as hard at their jobs after school. They loved all the little things they had. Showers, TV, beds. The things they loved we take for granted are things they thing are unbelievable.

I think we need to follow how these boys act. We need to spend more time with our family, and not take everything for advantage.

Monday Discussion post HC

It was a bit uncomfortable, but we were able to name a large number of sex terms the week after our homecoming. It is interesting how we were able to think of so many more informal terms than our traditional terms. Is it just the way society has be developed, or do we think its weird to use the old and traditional terms. This concept can be applied in other ways as well. Just our language in general. We use more slang and informal terms than ever before. Is it good or bad? Who knows. Maybe we should try using more traditional words one day in class and see how it goes.
