The words you choose can have a profound effect on any person, family member, or customer you're relating to. Words are everything: language is indeed the pathway to the unconscious mind. Words create brain activity. Whether it is of value or not, I can guarantee that, if you use a word of choice, you have created a pathway, and a fixed way of thinking. All words lead us to a specific destination in our mind along with all the associated feelings. As a child, my mom, one of the greatest teachers in the world, told me, "Daughter, watch your mouth." I never realized there were two sides to that statement. One side was how my words affect people at all levels, and the other side was how my words affected me. To this day, there are words that I have purposely removed from my vocabulary. Every word carries with it a consequence and a meaning. We choose these words to act as a vehicle-a vehicle to meet our needs. My success in life has stemmed from selecting only words that feed my mind, which do not turn my mind into a toxic dump. This is not a decision-this is a choice.

I Feel Frustrated
I would like to write and speak English well. Also I want to success in this country in a career, but sometimes I feel frustrated because my speaking and writing aren’t good. I studied so hard, but I think need more practice. Maybe I need a work with American people or maybe I need to improve my English and pushing myself to speak more in English. It is hard for me, but I decide don’t quit. I am going to look forward and I going to achieve my goals.
My Goals
My academic goals are continue to improve my English in speaking and writing. As an EAP student, it has been not easy for me, but I am doing my best effort to get good grades and pass every subject without repeat it. Additionally, I want to finish my Associated in Science Nursing at least in three years. Then I would like to register in FIU or UM to get a Bachelor of Science in nursing degree (BSN). My career goals are many. As soon as I get my BSN; I would like to involve in advance Nursing practice. It could provide me a good job in a hospital or a Physician office. Moreover, it can open me the most doors and advantages for my career like employment opportunities and a good financial status. I would also like to work as a Clinical Nurse Specialist, Nurse Management or Nurse Researcher. My service idea is provide home care services that assit individual with activities of daily living. Service is my specialty. I would like to help senior citizens especially those who are abandoned for their relatives. Furthermore, I would like to be volunteer caring for elderly people in different ways as visiting lonely people at home, servicing for nourishing home residents or seniors with disabilities, and providing a friendly service as just sit, talk, and listen to older people, Also I can provide assistance with shopping, household choirs and minors home maintenance for my senior neighbors. In other words, I think in this way; we can pay back elderly people that they did for us.
Winter Break
For winter break my family and I we usually go to Colombia, but we decided to spend Christmas in Aspen, Colorado. It was like a Christmas dream, everything was white the mountain, the trees, the roof, the music make me feel in a fantasy world, the hot chocolate with marshmallows, and the food was delicious. Every day we skied from morning to afternoon and we didn’t feel tired. It was an awesome Christmas. For New Year we stayed in our house; all the family gathered making the dinner. We prepared bunuelos, natilla, dishes that are traditional from Colombia. We also made a stuff pork loin with pineapple rice, Mediterranean salad, and a lemon pie. We danced all the night, we told funny jokes, and we made a wish for this year. We had a wonderful time together.
