                             Our Last Post of Semester!

Today I was thinking of the first day I walked into class, I was more lost then Adam in Mother’s Day. I understood what was spoken but applying it in real life was not easy.  It felt like I understood the languages yet didn’t understand why the words had a certain order to be academically correct. For those of us whom English is a second or third language, it will be understood that English so a more difficult language to understand grammatically than other languages. I am grateful to my professor as she is the best in this universe and has demonstrated patience and a great attitude and good sense of humor. As a student, it’s a good feeling so as not to feel alone. As I think of all o have learned I am left speechless. First, I discovered discipline to keep moving forward. I learned I have to read a lot in English to comprehend and how to be a good in critiquing a writer. To know they took and to distinguish the tone the writer is trying to set. In many cases we learn English by reading daily and more so when we apply the appropriate techniques to improve our new language. I enjoyed the group projects a lot as there are different cultures to work with and they are each individually different. There were a lot of great topics including cause and effect paragraphs. I also found interesting the class in which we were able to ask questions using the proper punctuation. Also appreciates how I received great information about FANBOYS and how I was able to schematically organize my ideas to be able to write better. I can truly say it was a great pleasure to be in this class with the classmates o had and we had the best professor in Hawaii. 

     My personal experience reading the noble Healing Water by Joice Moyer Hostette. It was positive in many areas, the main idea was to integrate more with Hawaiian culture and learn much more about its roots, since I decided to be part of this culture. In the first chapter it was a little difficult to get used to the terminologies in Hawaiian language, also to be able to distinguish the main actors by their names like Kimi, Kamaka’s, Pia.Then we found as the novel deepened with the plot that Pia as the main actor was seven years apart from Kamaka. I observed how Kamaka influenced Pia’s life so much that it was affecting his emotions and personal decisions. The nobleman shows very clearly the importance of the family (ohana) also, as the mother of Pia suffers when she finds that he was going to be separated from her son forever due to his disease that did not have a cure back then. The writer shows how making a decision, Pia was affected when he made a bad decision in Kalawao when he moved to live with the wrong man like Boki’s. We also saw people with a very nice heart and full of love with others like Maka Nui, Keona Malia and Father Damien. In his most difficult moments, he shows how anger, resentment and ignorance of a bitter and defiant man dares to go to Kamaka’s house to challenge him and even kill him for past situations that only demonstrated his lack of persistence. After all it appeared Malia was a channel of blessing in Pia’s life to teach her that with resentment she could not solve things like when she saw him at her house and she forgave him despite what he did, she invited him to have a cup of coffee and showed him care. A missionary also arrived and showed the entire community of Kalawao how they should be united, by helping each other and have a better life style on the island. Pia had a disagreement with his best friend named Kamaka in his past, he learned to forgive him and looked at him more as human being than as a hero and he was able to carry his illness with more peace in his heart and enjoy everything that life gave him in Kalawao. We enjoyed the story about Healing Water it was great information regarding Hawaiian culture. We were expecting a different ending but gained a wonderful lesson in my personal life that forgiveness and love make us better humans.

Computers today are very smart but we can never forget why they are programmed for something specific.As an example.We can take a robot to an assembly line and program it to do the same thing 24 hours a day with out make mistake.We can also install a program to solve the most dificult algebra equations. They always be very accurate because the are programade special for these task.The ultimate goal of AI.To achieve that at machine has a general intelligent similar to human. Is one of the most ambitious goals that science has set itself.Due to its dificulty,it is comparable to explaining the origin of life.The Origen of the universe or knowing the structure of matter. I personally do not think it can be possible because computer do not have qualities that humans have by natural such as, emotions smell or taste. Therefore we can’t make good computers but they could never replace our emotions. I saw in Netflix there is a show called Personal Interest its a very interesting and could be logic. It is about billionaire software-ginius name Carol Finch who creates a machine for the goverment that is disdained to deter acts of terror before they can happen. This is done by monitoring the entire worth rough every cell phone, email and surveillance camera. The interesting thing is that if we talk about percentage, they can be very fats and accurate. When we talk about comparing out feeling, emotions or how we like someone to treat us, it will be very difficult because they are feeling that we express or live in the moment and that makes us unique. If we look at the people who believe in the horoscope and read everything, it is simply something illogical and absurd to believe. As an example if you are a taurus and I write to you are every intelligente and persevering, you have had difficult time but you are a fighter etc. The computers will tell you what they were programmed to say. In conclusion, GOD created us unique many areas, such as having a unique fingerprint, our DNA also shows that our programing is unique and impossible to copy, as blood is impossible to make blood, we have cells that not other humanhas. The must important thing s not to lock yourself in a room and tour the word we a PC on our legs looking for love, the most important thing is to never stop being sociable, frendly go out and meet new cultures and people. In this way you will find a human being who enjoys what you enjoy and you will know it well over time but not because your computer is programmed to give you up and control your personal descicions.

When I was 27 years old. Had my first company. Everything started very easy.I went to live in a fort brag NC and I need to work I was hired by a roofing company.In 2 weeks, I learned to do everything and I became independent as a roofer. I remember my company’s called All about roof. I decide to go back to Florida and have a great invention well, I had to experience four hurricanes, one every week, when a hurricane hits the coast its winds affect the roofs by destroying the roofs the water enters the house and everything is lost.The idea is very simple and effective, if we install two winches on one side of the house.In the other side of the house install large PVC pipe we would keep a blue tarp of the roof size. When a hurricane comes, The two winches will tie to the tarp and they will get very well tempered on the roof with no air intake anywhere. This process the strong hurricane gusts from affecting roofing shingles. On top of the tarp they would put large straps to hold the tarp in place. Insurance companies lose millions every year when installing the system in the house we will all earn. In the USA they are many old people lining alone and their retirement is only for what is essential if they lose their home, they will lose everything they have achieved in their lives. The invention I could not do because yes patenting cost to me like $20,00 and I didi not have them available in this time. I have ever thought about doing it because many years have passed and I see hurricanes continue to destroy houses en many family en many affected.

     I was searching in WordPress for different topics, I related to a couple who thought about isolating themselves from society to be more secure I had told a friend that if this gets very bad, I would think about going to Big A island. This coupe decides to moving to in Bella Coola, British Columbia in the vast country of Canada I thought that in big A island I could grow and fish at least I would not lack the essentials to live We must learn from this pandemic the positive and that is that the human being for being so ambitious for having more power has reached the point of having to face a pandemic. But we will go back to the times where we will give time to our families where we will take more care of our parents and where the family will eat together again and be able to laugh like a family together in our dinner, I was investigating when the last pandemic was and it was called The “Spanish” flu of 1918 was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history. In a matter of months, a third of the world’s population was infected, 50 to 100 million people died, and the global economy shrank by 5%for this reason I related to the article I read in WordPress we must have a plan A and B because if we do not act quickly like this couple then it could be very difficult. In conclusion we must be separated from the population,we have to analyze that we would be with our families where it would be the perfect place to live with less risk.

One in the ten Americans have used and online dating site or mobile dating app themselves, and many people now know someone else who uses online dating or who has found a spouse or long-term partner via online dating. General public attitudes towards online dating have become much more positive in recent years, and social networking sites are now playing a prominent role when it comes to navigating and documenting romantic relationships. In my personal opinion think it’s like a game. People star to play when feeling lonely and it’s like they’re trying to won the lottery. 11% of American adults-and used online dating sites or mobile dating apps. When had my deployments in Afghanistan or Iraq, i saw how the soldier opened new social pages and wake people from every part of the world, i have a good friend that found his wife like that and had agreed experience, but i see many using the networks only to have fun. on another hand i see how today is very common to has a relationship online only no them slowly your heart and money. I understands it is very popular to have a relation online but i enjoy meeting my partner in person to invite her to dinner or to the theater because personal contact is one of the secrets to love, i always think that anybody can tell me whatever i want to hear and for that reason i love to see somebody in person even if it is discuss something because in that way you will see how that person is actually. I will always be a very personal and controversial point of view, but we must understand that by seeking true love the human be plows to the impossible. 

The first thing I want to have 10 years from now is a very clear mind.
I wish in 10 years not to have forgotten my mistakes, nor my failures. This way I have already gained much in life, this way I am able to give my daughters the best advice so that they do not have the same failures that their father had in his youth. I started economically when I retired from the Army, now I have my own company and I am planning to get federal contracts to be able to earn enough to have approximately  3 paid homes and to be relaxed. My finances is not my biggest concern but it is very important. I wish first to see my daughters succeed in college, and to one day see them in a very nice profession.  I want to be a role model in the city where I live and I want to be able to help the community in many things, like helping the homeless and the people who have lost their faith in God. I wish to travel to see other cultures again, I wish I could buy an RV and drive around the entire USA, go to Alaska and the North Pole. Everything will be possible with a lot of work and help from God

I had a very adventurous heart I really enjoy climbing and seeing the most beautiful gift a human being can have from GOD. Our planet and the more beautiful place, Hawaii. This beautiful land I feel I have a great responsibility the be a protector and example for everyone in here, thanks for giving me the best landscapes, and being able to breathe such a clean air, for having beautiful waterfalls especially for having people with a beautiful heart willing to share everything they have. My great responsibility is to be able to teach everyone how to take care of the island in many ways, all of us together, can make a big difference in the planet, I think that we need to work very hard in recycling, we need to learn to fish only what we need, not to destroy our seas. We must know that we love our land, which is part of ourselves and reflects that we want for our children to take care of this magnificent place. I think that just as we have more than 10 days a year in pagan festivities, we must take a day to give love to our island, the government should take all its equipment available for us for a day to reforest, clean the beaches, the hiking places, especially teach our children to sow the seed in themselves, to make our land something unique in the world, from the bottom of my heart. I only want to thank these islands for being so good to us and stay strong, even thought not everyone take care of this precious creation. Hawaii you are the best place in the planet thats way everybody call you the paradise.
