Education is important

With finals exam coming up and this fall semester is coming to an end, I feel a bit relived. Although I hate staying home and having nothing to do but eat, sleep, read and watch television, it gives me a good opportunity to actually spend more time with my family. I haven't thought about what to do for winter break exactly but I'm hoping something soon, before spring semester start. School goes super fast when it comes to you working so hard, on homework and trying to ace an class; by the time you realize school is finish.

I'm hoping by the end of next fall I will be done at UW-Sheboygan, so I can transfer to UW-Oshkosh  or Uw-platteville. My major is basically liberal arts into organization administration. Since, my husband got accepted in UW-Madsion for next year, and got an job opening at UW-Platteville I hope that either one will turn out good. I never thought that I would be here today, in college. Now that I'm almost done, I can really look back and say I'm proud of myself. Even though I wasn't really good at school, I feel like I can really make something out of myself if I try harder.

Having my family and my husband's family support me and my husband I feel wonderful into making things possible. My younger sister almost graduating this year, don't want to go to college. I'm trying my best to influence her into continuing further in school. Why? I think not only does it help you in life to find a better job but to educated you more so when you have your own kids you can also help them, and teach them school is important. My husband's cousin who is an repeated senior, three times has learn it the hard way.

Not to criticize anyone who don't decided to go to college, but I think they should. And if they chose not to, then later on life it will be consequences on them later on. sometimes its good to make mistakes because it can leave you into learning and then making better choices in life. And other times, you make mistakes, and chose not to learn but doing it over can cause an cycle, that leave your choice nowhere. I hope all students or children learn that education doesn't have to be serious all the time, if you take your time you can actually turn out to like or love it and even find something in life to learn to love from what your learning along the way.

Cold sore, stuffing nose, flu who isn't sick?

On Friday I had a bad fever, and barely couldn't walk. Every time I stood up I felt as ifI was going to faint. I could see stars every step I take but if I was to laid down I felt like sleeping. Not only was I sick, but my two son had really bad runny nose and stuffing nose. The whole weekend was feeling sick and taking care of my sons.

My husband couldn't come this week home, since he's got studying to do for some of his final. It's pretty hard taking care of my two sons especially their always sick. My older son has a very weak immune system so he can catch a cold just by other sneezing. I hate giving him medicine because it's so hard to make him take it.

With Christmas coming just around the corner I haven't even got anything do done. Late at night when I start to get really sweaty I take medicine and make sure I drink my mother in law's Thai medicine herb to heal me. I hate taking medicine too, especially the ones that are really bitter.

So, I hope I would feel better. Because I don't like the cold feeling and the having to wear ten hundred layers of sweaters. I don't know how I will manage when it starting snowing hard, because I hate the snow as well. So I hope everyone stay warm and not sick for Christmas.

Masculinity vs. Femininity

In my sociology class, we're studying about men compare to women. what I found out that was very interesting about that class was that, kids start to developed their gender identity. But when your still a fetus it is still undetermined to tell whether your a boy or girl, so you don't get the sense of identity yet.  In process of them growing up they don't know whether they are boys or girls until the age of 4 to 5 years old. Usually kids learn their gender identity also from their parents, siblings and the people around them.

 Example if a little girl was mostly around her brothers, uncles and father only, she can developed an cycle of masculine. That mean she can be tomboy and do things boys would but her outside looking like a girl. It's okay for a girl to be tomboy because they can soon realize what they really are and turn out to be more feminine when they are around more woman figure. It's basically all on influence of seeing another gender teach, do or show them to be the way they think they are until they hit an certain age of maturity to understand their body feature.

But If you were a boy and like to play dress up or wear makeup then that makes you look bad because a girl can upraised her status but a boy cannot downgrade or lower his status, it would make him look bad and people would look down on him. Boys are suppose to be strong, brave, and aggressive to make themselves masculine but if they were to look like they were strong but act sweet, gentle and sensitive it would make them look weakling.

In my perceptive, I have cousins and friends who are gay and lesbian who I don't treat any of them differently from heterosexual. I think it's bad for the community to judge a person from it's outside, because it's not like they want to be that kind of person; it just happen. I think we people should really take the time to understand homosexual of others because it can bring the society to more peace than hatred. People discriminating one another can not reunite any peacetime, so I think it's better that people understand those before making a bad comment.
