STUDENT WRITING: OPINION ON HOMOPHOBIA by LARISSA MONTEIRO R.

Until the present days, discrimination against homosexuals occurs in our society, and it occurs in many different ways. Sometimes it happens through jokes or insults that can also result in violence, but every one of these actions happen due to society’s discrimination towards homosexuals, treating them as if they were different or worse than heterosexuals. Based on this, there is controversy about a significant topic: should homosexuals be allowed to adopt children?

I do not even know why this question exists! Why should people be judged for their sexual preferences? If the question was about drug addicts or violent people, then it should be a topic to think about. But the problem is that people still have the idea that it is not a good to have a different sexual preference, and that having this is a problem so they should not be allowed to adopt children.

First, they think that one reason is because this is not the conventional family structure, saying that a family consists of a father, a mother, and a child. But why could two fathers (or two mothers) and a child not be a real family? Why is one single mother (or father) and a child not a family? My concept of family is simple: more than one person that love and take care of each other, regardless of gender, age, race or anything. Sometimes people also involve religion in the discussion, saying that homosexuality is not approved by God, so gays are not normal and good people, because they do not follow the divine laws. Religion is not something that we can discuss, but in any case, who are these people who think that they can speak for God?

Secondly, a homosexual relationship is based on love, exactly the same as the other kinds of relationships, so why would God be against love? Besides, we know that are a thousand orphan children that are just waiting to have a home, so why would God be against these poor children to finally have a chance at a happy life? Moreover, another reason people are against homosexuals adopting children is that they believe that homosexuals can influence the children to become homosexual as well. This is a really dumb thought. Do people really believe that the homosexuals of today were raised by homosexual parents? Of course not, because there is no relationship between raising children and sexual orientation.

Finally, people who intend to adopt children usually spend a lot of money and time during the process, which shows they do this because they really want to. So, my point is that they are prepared to give a good life to these children. Therefore, I believe that there are absolutely no reasons not to allow homosexuals to adopt children.

STUDENT WRITING: PROPOSAL to Reduce CHILDHOOD OBESITY by ADRIANA ESCOBEDO

Reducing the Obesity Level in Mexico

In Mexico 9.2% of children suffer from diabetes (Boseley). Diabetes is a big problem around the world because nowadays obesity is found among all people that are overweight. Millions of people are at risk because they neither eat healthy nor care about their health. Mexico’s president is trying to fight obesity in our country but it is not enough to solve the problem. He passed a law to increase the tax on junk food and sugary drinks to reduce obesity and diabetes. I consider that it may work, but I do not think that this is sufficient to reduce the obesity level.

The major problem that is causing obesity in Mexico and around the world is that people are becoming lazy and they don’t always try to cook healthy food or do exercise. The people that are always working do not have enough time to cook something healthy for their children and they look for the easiest way to give them something to eat fast. For this reason, they start eating more junk food and obesity is the consequence. On the other hand, people avoid doing exercise because they complain that they do not have enough time to go to the gym or money to pay for it and they are very tired from working.

We can try to reduce the obesity levels in Mexico by emphasizing the importance of exercise and eating healthy through workshops in schools and in the work place. We can recommend exercise for at least one hour per day and not only by going to a gym. We can go for a walk around our neighborhood with our dog or with our children and it is free. Schools need to promote physical education classes by encouraging children to practice a sport after class or during the PE class. Teachers should have fun activities for kids which involve cardio exercise to burn more calories and in this way avoid or reduce obesity among children and youths. In addition, schools and work places should add more healthy food on the cafeteria menu instead of junk food. Adding more fruit and vegetables, or maybe avoiding sugary products like sodas, candies and junk food on the menu should also help reduce the levels of obesity in our country.

STUDENT WRITING: PROPOSAL to CHANGE IMMIGRATION LAWS by ROGELIO CAZALES

Adjusting the Law for Latinos

Scores of Mexicans being chased by immigration officers. A bunch of Cubans rafting to the States. Venezuelans escaping from an imminent dictatorship. Many sorrows, scarcities, inhumanities, and so on….are what those people have in common. The only truth is that they are following a pipe dream. By the time they cross the border, they face the raw reality; the despotism of the American country. While some Americans offer a friendly hand, some others spit in their faces with their you´re not American, so go back to the trashland you came from attitude. Over time, the United States has started to build massive walls, passed goosy laws, created new legal papers year after year, or just made up excuses in order to delay the means to obtain legal papers and, of course, to halt and ward off the massive migration from Latin American countries. The reality is that the States is building from north to south a racist policy against Latinos. With this in mind, we as Latinos should lobby the U.S. government and demand an answer to the question that has the entire nation split. Is the immigration reform a reality?

A realistic solution for the reform problem should include win-win terms and not only benefit Latinos but also Americans, such as giving permanent residence permits and fair wages. By doing the first, the government could benefit in many ways. Latinos are not trying to sneak into American houses and rob them. They are trying to have a clear path to working legally and earn what they deserve for their work. So, the States could use the Latinos hard-work ethic as an add-on for the national economy. If the economy goes up, the standard of living does too. Also, if illegal immigrants are allowed to work legally, government revenues will be boosted. With a better economy, the United States will be stronger in times of a bad streak in the economy. The second idea must be equal for both sides. So, if Latinos get fair wages, the Americans will be more interested in competing for working positions. A competitive atmosphere always benefits American society.

Another tentative solution would be to enact an adjusting-law for people already living here; a bill that would create a legal means for illegal people to have their papers, but indeed with some restrictions and obligations. This is also a good solution for the problem the American government has on its hands. The government should enact a law for the illegal aliens. This proposed act should be fair for both sides. The idea of having an adjusting-law came to my mind from the Cuban adjusting law which says that every Cuban reaching American shores will be eligible for permanent residence if they stay in the States for a year. Perhaps this act is something hard to swallow, but the pros are so many, such as the increment of tax payers, the halt of massive raids around the country, the removal of the checkpoints, and the end of the endless game of hide and seek played by law enforcement.

Being realistic, the Americans need the Latinos, Hispanics, Beaners, Wetbacks, Wetfoots or whatever they call us in order to keep their frills, social life, and economy as stable as possible. So, why don’t they want to create a law that protects us? Are they waiting for the same situation the African-Americans went through? The Latinos are a majority in this country and they know it. If Latinos returned to their home countries, America would fall to pieces. Therefore, the States must start thinking that one solution for the bomb is in the pillars of American society. They must not dig in their heels. We are not asking for the top of the totem pole. The only thing we ask is more respect.

STUDENT WRITING: EVALUATION of the VOLKSWAGEN JETTA by JANET SANCHEZ

My Volkswagen Jetta

My first new car was a Volkswagen Jetta and I still love it. This car is very comfortable to drive. It has a very good stereo where you can play 6 different CDs. It was very good for me when I bought it because I was living in Juarez and working in El Paso, and the commuting was tiring and boring every day. I needed a fuel economic car because I spent a lot of gas going to work and having had a Ford explorer SUV before, my VW Jetta was the best choice.

My Jetta is very well built. I love all the features it has, especially the nice sunroof. It is very relaxing driving on a cloudy day with the sunroof open. The electronic stability control is also a very effective feature. One day I was driving on the freeway and suddenly I got a flat tire. It is very dangerous but I didn’t go out of control. I just felt the wheel a little weird and stopped to see what happened. My tire was completely ruined and I was safe. I was pregnant, so I wondered what would have happened if I hadn’t had this car. The Jetta has a huge trunk which is very practical and useful for me. When I decided to live in El Paso, even though I rented a furnished studio, I had to bring all my stuff from Juarez and I was able to put a lot of stuff in my car.

The bad thing is the maintenance. It is very expensive and most of the things they do are just checkup. I had to take my car to the dealer for maintenance for five years because I bought an extended warranty and I was afraid they could cancel my warranty if I took my car to another place for maintenance.

The Jetta is perfect for single people. It’s an economic car talking about gas consumption but it doesn’t mean it is uncomfortable and ugly like most of the economic cars are. It’s nice, safe and easy to drive. However, it is not really good for moms because moms need a lot of space to carry all the children’s stuff.

My children preferred our old SUV because they had more room and they could see very well outside. My Jetta’s back seats are very low and my children are little making it difficult to see outside so they get bored easily. They always ride in their child-safety seats so the backs of the front seats are very close to the back seats where they are. Therefore they cannot straighten their legs. We use televisions, which are attached to the back of the front seats, and my children can watch a movie while they are in the car but the televisions are very high for them because of the deep back seats so they have to look up to see the movie and it’s uncomfortable for them.

It’s not practical for me to put my children in my Jetta because I have to bend over to seat my children on their seats, and even though it has a big trunk, it is not enough to carry all the stuff that I need for them. Our first trip in my Jetta was very nice. It’s a very good car to travel. It has everything that you need to enjoy your trip: comfort, good stereo, big trunk for luggage and fuel economy. When I got it we didn’t have children yet, so it was perfect. Having just one kid, my Jetta was still a good car to travel in. My husband drove and I was seated in the back seat with my baby girl so I could attend to her the whole trip. But now, we have another baby and it is impossible to travel in my Jetta because I cannot attend to my children. There is no room for me on the back seats and I have to sit in the front seat. It is very frustrating when they need something in the middle of the way and I can do nothing.

I have had just two big problems with my Jetta. The first one was a problem with the fan of the air conditioning which made a horrible noise. They had to replace it. Fortunately, the warranty covered everything and I just had to pay a little money. The second problem was the computer. One day, I was driving on the freeway and suddenly my car just turned off. It was dead. I had to call a tow truck and they took my car to the dealer. It was there for more than a month, but it was ok because the dealer gave me a rented car while they were fixing my car and thanks to the warranty I didn’t have to pay.

Another problem that I had was the tires. They were of very bad quality. I was losing them one by one until I had to replace all of them. The dealer said that they had bad tires that year but they had already changed the provider which didn’t help me because I had to pay for tires anyway. Something else that I have noticed is that I have to replace light bulbs very often. I don’t know if there is something wrong with the car or it depends on other factors like environment, the use I give it, or something else.

Despite all the minor issues, you can see that I have found more good things than bad things in my car. It is a very nice and good car and I love it. I have really enjoyed it since I bought it.

STUDENT WRITING: Evaluation of CARLSBAD CAVERNS by YAN XU

The World Underground

On the way to Carlsbad Caverns National Park, I couldn’t help drawing the picture of a world underground in my mind. Away from sunlight, away from all the plants in the desert, away from the soaring birds up in the sky lies the fantastic underground world! It has been there for millions of years, waiting for every visitor to explore its wonders.

For the first time in my life, I stepped into the fascinating world underground. Different from any other travel experiences in China, I was so impressed by the natural beauty of the caverns and the management of the national park service department. What makes a national park so special? Why can it linger in your mind so firmly and attract your next visit? In Carlsbad Caverns, I felt the beauty of nature, the passion and devotion of every staff member and an active interaction between visitors and interpreters.

Beyond all your imagination, Carlsbad Caverns has been preserved perfectly. Having visited so many places before, my experience has been that once an interesting place is developed, the commercial elements will be added, such as restaurants, shops and other artificial stuff. At Carlsbad Caverns, however, except for a tiny souvenir stand, there is no other commercial smell. I’ve seen some pictures of other caverns in China. The caverns are decorated garishly by lots of posters which introduce you to the shapes of the stalactites. Meanwhile, it is also lighted by colorful light to make it look gorgeous. Some of the visitors think that is the right way to decorate the caverns. In Carlsbad Caverns all the light is so plain, and the only function is to illuminate. It’s too boring with no fun at all. However, in my opinion, visitors should appreciate the caverns’ beauty itself not the colorful light. Less is more. I like the way the real beauty of the caverns is presented, as opposed to the “created beauty” by humans.

I’ve heard that once there were some posters beside the stalactites showing their names according to their shapes. After careful consideration, the manager of Carlsbad Caverns decided to remove all the posters because he thought it would restrict visitors’ imagination. What a wise decision! The same piece of stalactite may tell different stories to different viewers. Nothing is more exciting than galvanizing visitors’ endless imagination! Thanks to the vision of the manager, now the caverns are full of innumerable stories by every piece of special stalactite. Back to its original look, back to its essentials, that’s the right way to appreciate nature! That’s the right attitude to respect nature!

To explore more about Carlsbad Caverns, I ordered an additional tour on which a guide will lead you to another route. When walking carefully into the cave, the guide, a pretty lady, introduced the story of its explorer Jim White. She told the story so lively that it seemed to take us back to hundreds of years ago. We started to imagine how Jim White walked, crawled, climbed down into the darkness, and how astonished Jim White was when he saw such a mysterious and fascinating world! The tour was filled with a lot of fun by our guide’s vivid introduction. At the end of our tour, she said something that impressed me deeply:” my grandmother, who once worked for Carlsbad Caverns, brought me here first when I was a little kid. Then I fell in love with it.
Decades later, I became the employee of Carlsbad. It reminds me of my childhood every time I walk here. No matter how the outside world changes, time seems to be frozen here. Everything remains like my first visit. I hope you like Carlsbad Caverns and can bring your family here one day as my grandmother did. Good memories always stay with you.”

I was so moved by her affectionate words. She not only told us the story of Carlsbad Caverns, but also linked it with her experience with emotion. We could feel the passion and devotion from every employee here, which makes the place more wonderful and attractive!
During the tour, interpreters and tourists are gradually building their relationship. A good tour can always incite an active interaction between tourists and interpreters. Some improper behavior always occurs in some scenic spots in China. When the interpreters are introducing some background or history, some tourists will totally ignore them and just take photos as they want. Further more, some tourists will even carve words in some obvious spots, such as: XX has been here! It’s such a shame!

During our tour, our guide asked every visitor not to touch any stalactite because it might break the growth of the stalactites. We followed her instructions all the tour. Meanwhile, we showed our deep interest by asking a lot of questions related to the caverns. Everyone listened to our interpreter carefully and showed our respect to her, to nature. Interpreters engage in their work diligently, which arouses the tourists’ desire to protect nature. When tourists notice the value of nature, they will care and promote it more. It’s the virtuous circle. Carlsbad Caverns is a place which can always keep the circle running.

Some visitors may view Carlsbad Cavern National Park just as big and dark caverns. Inside the caverns, there is nothing particular to make them exciting. Well, if you expect to have the same experience as the movie” Journey to the Center of the Earth” did, it’s not the right place to go. Instead, visiting Carlsbad Caverns requires your patient steps. Take your time and slow you down. Think about the unique underground world around you. It took millions of years to form every piece of stalactite, and it has been waiting here for your visit till now. Don’t you think it’s amazing?

I think one day I will bring my family back here. It’s far away from the noisy urban area, and it grows drop by drop tranquilly. It’s a place that will bring you the unparalleled beauty of nature, invoke the sincere smile of every employee, galvanize your curiosity and make you eager to protect it further more.

STUDENT WRITING: Reflective Writing: LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCE by ROGELIO CAZALES

Learning from Experiences

While sitting on my couch, I recalled when I was sitting in a tree outside the house watching my grandparents and my parents preparing dinner. No matter how far away I am from my ranch or my relatives, I´ve always kept in my mind all the stuff I learned there such as helping others or giving a hand to whomever needs it. When I came to the United States, I started to see that nobody gives a damn about others. Everyone is so involved in their own business. One time I saw a pregnant woman in the middle of the road having problems with her broken down car. She was waving her hands trying to attract a good Samaritan, but I think she acknowledged her situation; nobody helps anyone. Some cars just dodged her car, others just honked at her, and some rude guys just flipped her off because her broken car was causing a delay in their hectic life and daily routine. Perhaps many people would call me old-fashioned; I think manners and cordiality are the same here in this big box country as on my small ranch. When I stopped to help her, she was amused and had a question mark on her face. She asked me why I helped her. I just replied with a simple –you needed help.

Also, I noticed that there are no differences when talking about religion. Here in the United States many people rely for interior peace and well-being on a religion. In my home-town I saw lots of people going to church to the Sunday sermon. When the priest started to address the people, they began to nod to everything he said. When the whole sermon finished, I would hear all the people muttering and punishing themselves because they weren’t good enough for God. One day I heard one couple chattering in the distance about what the priest said. They were talking about the commitments they broke the previous week because they didn’t have enough time to go to the last sermon. But here is the real question for me; how can someone feel bad just because they don’t have time to go to a Sunday sermon? I think many people have their heart set on being good practitioners. And being a good practitioner means going to church every Sunday, and of course, giving their time to the church instead of working in the fields the entire Sunday to give to their children the money to buy school supplies or just in order to have more money to buy more food. Living here in the States for one year has let me think about and discern some aspects of this country. Here religious people give to God everything they have; their time, their money, and maybe their life. And the same thing happens on my ranch.

Another important and similar aspect I noticed is the huge importance that some people here in the United States give to superficial things or frills. There is an enormous difference between the priorities that urban and rural people have. For instance, some people here in the United States are supposed to have a tier-one life while in rural areas life is lived day by day. Also, here in the States people give an extraordinary importance to clothes. Clothing has a huge roll in people’s thoughts. You are classified according to the clothes you wear. The same thing happens on my ranch. There were lots of people trying to get designer clothing. I knew they used to work in the fields with me, but they tried to be another person, a rich person. I think they tried to fit into other social spheres. When wearing those fancy clothes, my friends forgot everything they used to be; their morals, their beliefs, their values, and in some cases their parents. I saw those people changing their behavior according to the people around them. I think hypocrisy is increasing due to the fact that material things and family values are being overtaken by materialism. Human beings just made up a way to cover all the important things with a thin layer of egocentrism. But we can´t blame other people for everything. The main problem is that people find material things more appealing than family. And also, parental figures are not doing anything to stop this awful situation.

I learned many things living on that ranch. Many of them I learned with bad and painful experiences. So, once I started seeing how some people complain and weep about everything in life, I recalled the whole shebang I soaked up. We are not supposed to make a fuss over all the mishaps that happen in our life. I acknowledge that there are rich people and ostentatious rich people and a huge difference that marks people’s guidelines and the way they treat other human beings. As a personal opinion, I’ve tried to coexist with those ostentatious people, but I think somewhere deep inside of me, I just can’t deal with it. I have seen many people acting in a despot way. They step all over other people’s thoughts and feelings. This situation is a never ending circle.

I think that people must look at their past experiences and examine their past very carefully. We don’t have to be born on a ranch or in a poor family in order to help other people. Values must never go hand in hand with money or clothes.

STUDENT WRITING: Reflective Essay: FIRST IMPRESSIONS by LAILA ALSAIHATI

“When I first saw you, I thought you were arrogant. Therefore, I never thought of talking to you as a friend,” one of my friend’s friends said to me.

In the court of life, it is normal to get judged by others. You don’t have to be a plaintiff in order to get judged by others, they will judge you even if you are the judge himself. A person has to be like a lawyer to survive in this court. People judge others by their height, their features, and their appearance. If a woman is walking with high heels, it means she is looking for attention, wearing red lipstick means she is in love, and holding a Burberry bag means she’s rich.

There is always a reason for everything that God does. God creates us with different shapes, different morals and different prints! All of this has its meaning under what’s called physiognomy, psychology, and parapsychology. People who study this will know how to explain why this person’s nose is long and how this affects his manners, or why that person’s tone of voice is soft. However, people who don’t, judge people by how they look.

I’ve always walked with confidence; head up, shoulders down with straight steps. Exactly like my father whom I have always admired. My father is an outgoing and independent person who sees himself from his perspective first. He always thinks and holds himself accountable. He tells me, “My smart girl, always think about your mistakes before anybody else does and bear in mind that if you want to be successful, trust God in what he teaches us, examine yourself in how well you do what God teaches you in his holy book, and apply that not only in a religious way but also in how you treat yourself and others.” Some people have thought that I look down my nose at them. Others have thought I have no decency. I’ve been judged a lot and not just because of the way I walk, but also because of how I look. I have a sharp look that makes some people think that I’m cocky and stony-hearted although I smile a lot. Also, when I talk about something serious I act realistically, so people think that I’m a humorless person. From my perspective, I think a person should joke when it’s time to joke and appreciate a person when he talks about something serious and needs for the person he is confiding in to take things seriously. I remember when people have told me after they sit with me that they thought wrong about me, and I reply, “Now, you know.” When people tell me that, I try to see it from their perspective. Therefore, I think if there is something wrong with the way I look and I end up by finding the fact that I did nothing wrong, I don’t look at people disdainfully, I don’t frown upon them, and I absolutely don’t raise an eyebrow to anyone.

I have a friend who has never seen me. One day I was talking to her and I asked, “Maram, what did you think of me the first time we talked?” She said “I thought that you had a strong balanced personality.” The reason why I asked her was because I wanted to know what her first impression of me was since she had never seen me at all. Of course, she wasn’t going to tell me awful things, but I asked because I know how honest and upright a person she was. After that, I was convinced that the problem was the sharpness in my eyes, which I have nothing to do with. I’m not a rebellious, nasty, grubby person. I don’t despise people, but the thing is I love myself! I honestly don’t care about what people say about me because what I think about people who judge others like that is that they are simple, small-minded, uneducated, and unaware persons.

I’ve studied parapsychology so I know that outsides and personalities are two sides of one coin. Parapsychology has opened my mind to a lot of different things. Parapsychology looks beyond what people think and what people usually nourish their souls with. When I combine what my father told me, what I’ve studied, and what I have learned in life from my experiences, I think that I may be qualified to make a good first-impression judgment of people especially because I studied parapsychology. I can tell by a person’s manners, just by looking at him, hearing his voice, or feeling his aura. I know that parapsychology isn’t considered a science internationally, but I got a degree in it and I believe in it.

I’m known for two important things. The first thing is that I’m a perfectionist. The first time I heard this word in English was when a teacher described me as such. Teacher Robert told me, “You are a perfectionist,” so I asked him, “Is this a good thing?” I went home that day and translated the word. It turned out that a lot of people described me with this word before. I admit that I am a perfectionist. It is, also, important to me to get to know the people whom I meet for the first time well, so I can decide whether I can count on them in my life or not. However, I’m also known for giving chances. I will give a person a couple of chances by seeing how he acts in different situations before I judge him because even though I know how to judge with my experience in parapsychology, that doesn’t mean that I’ll get it right every time. I don’t want to be stuck with somebody whom I can’t communicate with in my life because I see him as a bad person. I care about my comfort and if it turns out that this person that I just met is somehow hard to live with, I will for sure put at least red lines in my relationship with him and be careful how I spend my time with him.

This court is as all the courts in the world, but it has its unlimited rules. Sometimes, people can make mistakes in it without going to jail because their mistakes aren’t considered crimes as in a normal court of law. Crimes in the court of life can be in people’s hearts by thinking wrong about others, suspecting, and judging them without proof. You should not care about what people say if you want to live your life and do whatever you want. “Give people your deaf ear,” in other words, keep calm and walk with confidence.

STUDENT WRITING: Concept Essay: LA MADELEINE by DANIELA INFANTE & JM

La Madeleine: A French Country Café

La Madeleine is “a concept like no other with an award-winning menu and untapped potential in the bakery-café category,” says Chris Cheek, vice president, franchise development at La Madeleine, a country-French, fast-casual concept (Cheek).

La Madeleine had its beginnings some 30 years ago when Patrick Leon Esquerré came to the United States from France. Here, he did not find the aroma of fresh-baked baguettes and espresso, so he decided to open a café that offered just that (La Madeleine). Cheek claims that the brand is unique and that there is no one else doing country French in a fast-casual environment. He states, “Our approach to food, training, and interacting with our guests begins with our belief that we are in the hospitality business. You approach guests—not customers—as if they are dining in your home (Cheek).

La Madeleine’s mission is to recreate the food of the French countryside. The bakery offers authentic French sauces, marinades, and dressings. These used to be made from scratch but are now outsourced in order to reduce the size of the kitchens and have better quality control. The same goes for La Madeleine’s breads and pastries. In addition, the bakery’s food also emphasizes crepes, quiches, salads, sandwiches, and soups.

Interested in owning a franchise? This is not easy. There are many requirements if you want to be an owner. First, you must have experience as a multi-unit operator. Then you must be able to prove that you have the financial and operational resources to develop a multi-unit territory. This translates to resources of more than $2 million and a net worth greater than $5 million in liquid assets. For this, La Madeleine will provide qualified franchisees with “a world-class concept and extensive support to help them grow their business and the la Madeleine brand” according to Cheek. The Company will also assist in the areas of real estate, marketing, operations and training, purchasing, construction and culinary expertise (La Madeleine).

El Paso's first La Madeleine will open at the Fountains at Farah in a few weeks. This 600,000 square-foot shopping center on the East Side was opened only last year and is now adding some new flair to the city’s up-scale eatery options with the addition of this franchise. As for me, I’m a great fan, so I’m happily awaiting the opening to enjoy the best bread ever!
