I'm not a Social Media Freak

Every day we watch individuals with their smartphones, tables, or laptops. The advantage of those devices is their small size and light weight. We carry our smartphones in our packets.

My grandmother used corn to create her delicious tamales - A Guatemalan meal made by corn, chicken, raisins and peppers.  I moved from Guatemala four year ago, and I have been attending college the last two years. I have been learning the other uses corn offers in many products.

The beauty of ocean life is so fragile that a single act can have devastating consequences. Many living creatures need water to survive including human beings. We share the world with many elegant, exotic, glamorous, and colorful animals, however, some selfish and greedy corporations are destroying our environment, contaminating our oceans and polluting the air. Due to their inconsiderate actions the diversity of our oceanic ecosystem is slowly being eliminated. Oceans have many functions, some of which include: being the habitat of many sea creatures, providing 80 percent of the air we breathe, absorbing the carbon dioxide human- beings produce, and most specifically regulating the weather and temperature worldwide

Inner War

Young people listed in the US Armed Forces with the ideology to defend liberty, justice, and freedom.  They went overseas into a foreign land. They fought and some of them fell on the battle field. They will be returning home after 10 years of a brutal and savage long war, but it seems that our brave soldiers will not come back the same way as  they left.
