<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my opinon whats happeing in Syria is not the best way to find a solution to the conflicts. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A war is never the best way to resolve a conflict. But ofcures as in all interal conflicts there are political interests, like selling weapons. I think that this conflict is not only bad for Syria, but also to the countrys that are offering their support to the different parts. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It all started with the Arab Spring, the firts country to fall was Tunisia and the other Arab nations fell. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The rebels and the goberment agree in one thing they do not want the intervation of foreigne powers like the UN, OTAN, USA etc. For the rebels it all would be over when the overthrough the goberment of Bachar Al-Asad. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">althoug both sides claim they dont want any foreigne interversion, both are recving help from other countrys. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The rebels are reciving help from the USA and France, the goberment is reciving help from China, Iran and Russia. All this countrys that are helping have some political intresting. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my opinion none of this countrys shuold be giving help. They would jus make the conflict and worts, and their are allready many inosent people dying. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know is hard to express a point of view in this situations, but dialogue should always be the first resource when ther is a conflict. But sadly sometimes the only way to make your voice be listen is by force, war. </span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">I want to studied psychology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For me was hard to find someone that I
could work for in a clinic, so I went with branch of psychology in human
resources.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">For that week I went to the Hospital San Pablo
de Guatemala in zone 1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first
day was really awkward for me, I was extremely nervous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That day I spend a lot of time doing
nothing, then they put me to order some files by number.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was my morning of day one, in the
afternoon they made me paste checks in their resets. I also went to the rooms
to give a balloon to the patient; I really enjoy that because the family of the
patient were really grateful for that. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did not have lunch that day, so I went to the
cafeteria and, oh my God, the food was not good. I learn my lesson and the next
days I brought lunch. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The second day was pretty much the same. I felt
more comfortable the second day, I actually chat with everybody in the office,
they are all great and funny persons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Some thing funny that happened to me was I a doctor was given me a raid
back home, I was so scared he was going to leave there and he just laugh at me
for being scared.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt like that
the entire week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The third day they told me to do an inventory in
the storage room in the bathroom. I was really freaking out, I had not clue of
what I was doing. It was frustrating because I was in the bathroom counting and
I got interrupted two times, I lost the count so offcourse I star all over
again. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that I was going to
paste checks again, never seen that much cheeks in my life, that was boring. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Fourth day of the week. I spend much of the day
making bags for first day patients; this had to have toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo,
thermometer and soap. The last day of the week, was a slow day, so they put me
to see the files of all the workers of the hospital, and make a list of what
was messing in each file. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Although I wasn’t really doing something of my
carrier I loved the experience. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

this video because of the message it transmitted to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s about this guy that needs to make
a decision about his moms life, he dices to let life takes its natural curse. <span style="background: yellow;">Most importantly </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(EMPHASIZE) because of the part in which he tells to her
mother how grateful he was with her and how much he loves her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="background: yellow;">In the

to love life. <span style="background: yellow;">Now</span>, (EXPLAIN) why this

you when out being angry with your mom or went to bed after a fight whit her.
How can you be sure you will wake up or you will return safe to your home or if
something happened to her? Well we don’t know. <span style="background: yellow;">In
fact</span>, (EXPLAIN) I have done these things and more.<span style="background: yellow;"> Also</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>(ADD) I have not received her in a nice way when she gets home for
working. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="background: yellow;">But</span> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(QUALIFY) why
does this matter so much? <span style="background: yellow;">Certainly</span>

welcome her with a hug and a smile. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

when we do the same thing with other people; we shouldn’t take the things they
do for granted<span style="background: yellow;">. In summary </span>, (CONCLUDE)
we should be thankful all the time and express our fillings everyday. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 20.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“Never, Never
Give Up”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 26.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-family: Arial;">I totally agree
with the statement, “Never, never give up”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because if you give up you would never ever achieve what you
want. People think that you fail when you don’t accomplish a task at the very
first shot, but I think failure happens when you give up. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you fail at a task, just keep
trying and remember this quote by Thomas Alba Edison, “</span><span lang="EN-AU"><a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/t/thomasaed132683.html"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 20.0pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't
work.</span></a></span><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 26.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I agree and support this statement for many
reasons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, because I believe
life is about going for what you want and chasing your dreams, and if you give
up you would never achieve them. Also because it is by failing that we learn. Giving
up takes away the opportunity of learning; life is also about learning. Imagine
that every time you begin a new project and obstacles appear in your path you
give up, do you think you would ever accomplish something in your life? Of course
you wouldn’t.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 26.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Giving up can become a habit. You may start thinking it
is the easier path to follow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why
go for the easy one if you can have an amazing experience if you go for the
hard one? Things would never be easy all the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is always a big or small obstacle or complication but
that is how life is; you can’t go giving up every time. If you really want
something go for it one hundred percent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 26.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Another reason that makes me support this is the feeling
you get when you were about to give up, but you didn’t and you accomplished
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the most amazing feeling.
Giving up takes away that and I think everyone should experience that feeling
many times. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 150%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
reality of young people in Guatemala.
Well, first we must know that Guatemala is a young country <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">(70% of the
population is under 30 years old). </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 150%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
reality of young people here<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">, in Guatemala,</span> is pretty much decided by the conditions
and the region you are born in. Probably many of them will receive an elementary education,
then only two or three out of ten would enter high school. Most of the young people suffer of
malnutrion and violence<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">--59% of violent deaths occur to young people.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 150%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In
Guatemala only 6% of young people enter college, the rest work in the streets
or immigrate to the United States (19% of young people don’t study or have a
job). </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 150%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An
average young woman in Guatemala has her first child at the age of 20. Then she
may continue having another child every year. Families here in Guatemala are made up of about six to seven
siblings. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="line-height: 150%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One
big problem young people go through is that Guatemala does not have many jobs
opportunities, as it has people wanting a job. This is why they end up working
in the streets <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;">or</span> become members of a gang. It is sad to see that in Guatemala
only 6% of young people enter college, while in Mexico and Chile 40% of them go
to the university. Young people are the ones that can make a change or a difference
in our country, but they need opportunities. I think it is a big challenge for
future generations to make opportunities for themselves. I believe it is in our
hands to fight for these opportunities in order to change our reality. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
