What's my favorite Jacko song?


My favorite Jacko’s song is “Man in the mirror” this song really touches my heart. I listen to this song many years ago. I’m not a big fan of Michael Jackson but some of his songs are really good.
The first time I listened to the song I was going through my adolescence. So I was marking by this song.
The song has a beautiful lyric and really makes you thought about the world situation and what are you doing to change it.
I hope you enjoy it! Please try to listen to carefully.

MAN IN THE MIRROR

I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right...

As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending not to see thier needs
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man's soul
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
'Cause they got no where to go
That's why I want you to know

Chorus:
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(Take a look at yourself, and then make a change)

(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That there are some with no home, not a nickle to loan
Could it really be me, pretending that they're not alone?

A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
And a washed-out dream
(Washed out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
'Cause they got no place to be
That's why I'm starting with me
(Starting with me)

Make that change

As a writer

Hello everyone!
I`m going to tell you about my first blog experience.



Well to be honest, I haven't had a blog before and I really like the experience to have it. Writing was something that I didn’t used to do it because in this busy life as a student I don’t have time to have a break.

When all this process started I did everything to get a good grade because I need it. Passing this course could make a big change in my life, you know what I'm saying...

When the time goes along I got interested in writing about the different topics that Simon gave us to write in the blogathon and I really felt like a writer. Sometimes I felt very into the topic because now

I enjoying writing. That was something very weird because doing this was not something that I really used to enjoy.

Also, doing the blog was a big help because I realized that I can write better than before

but the hardest part doing the blog was giving sense to my words. I mean, trying to communicate my ideas because it is very difficult be a good writer. You have to be aware of every word that you are thinking, you have to use the perfect word to have a good communication with writers.

On the other hand, having a blog make you part of the world, who doesn't have one? Everyone have direct access to make one, or more than one if you want.

To conclude, in this whole process I learnt that writing in a blog could make you more critical because you have to deal with all your ideas, make them deeper and communicate with your feelings. Also, you have to enjoy doing this. Don't do that only because is compulsory for college. If you take part of the process and you do something enjoyable I am sure that you could learn more.

My lucky number


My lucky number is 4. I was born on the 4th so I always choose this number or a multiple number of 4.
One day my family and I went to a solidarity bingo. I choose a playing card with all this multiple numbers. For my good luck I won a prize. This prize was a beautiful canopy for my balcony.
I was extremely proud because I used to have bad luck in this kind of game.
Since this day I always choose number 4 for being lucky and have good luck on every game.

Motivation


My reflective essay will be about "Motivation". This is an interesting issue. As teacher we have to encourage our student to develop their abilities. One good way to do this is going through motivation. Make students feels all the things they do or think are right. They have the opportunity to think and developed their critical thinking about what happens around them. My goal is to try to encourage my students to follow what they want without caring what other says.
First of all, I have to search on the web to be familiar with the topic. Founding a good definition of motivation will be the right way to start. Then, I will support my ideas. I would like to do a contrast with right ways of motivating pupils and what are the wrong ways.
As teachers we have to be aware of the different factors that affect motivation.For this reason, is very important know about this topic.

Killing Creativity


Do you agree that schools are killing creativity?
what is the situation in chilena schools?
what about when you are at school?

Ken Robinson hit the target with this speech. Nowadays, education is always in the black size. In fact, there are so many problems that are difficult deal with all of them and find solutions. School is the most important connection between your life as an adult and as a hard-working. For that reason, this establishment must be recognizing as an importance that have.

Creativity is something without importance in the 20th century. This extremely affects the way that teachers are teaching. School is base in how economical situation have an effect on the country.

To be honest, it is a complex issue. I do not want to be like all the people that always are criticize the education. We have to give solutions instead of being complained about everything.

When I was at school my teacher used to say “You made your own future. You can change the world if you want” Honestly, I belief in her words and try to do it. I must admit that my education was not the best. At College everything is more difficult because I don’t have enough tools that someone who got a good education.

Schools are follow some rules that are not the best. They are detracting from the value of being like themselves.
