I Realize a Lot about This Experience

Have you ever been separated from your usual life for a long while? This year, I left my own town, my house, my friends and my family to come in North Bay to learn English because it was one of my dreams to be good in English. I was very excited to come here and to live a new experience, but I had no idea that it would be as difficult as it is. Can you imagine being alone in a new country where you do not understand the language, you are without any friends or family and you have to face the difficulties of life at 17 years old? However, it made me grow up and I learned a lot about myself. Therefore, throughout this experience, I realized that my family is more important for me than I had thought. Now, I know that my family will always be there for me, that they have the same values as I do and also that they are essential to my happiness.

First, with this experience I realized that my family is very important for me, and if I have a problem, they will always be there to help me to pass through this difficult time. I know that I can count on them whatever I need or whatever happens. For example, my dad is always there to push and help me to realize my dreams and also to protect and reassure me if something bad happens. On the other hand, my mother is always there when I am sad or need to talk. She always helps me to find some solution or to change my mind. I always talk to my mom if I have something more personal that I want to talk over. I know that she will never judge me and always tries to understand me. It is easier to talk with my parents because they brought me up, so we see life in the same way.

Secondly, to have the same values as someone else is very helpful. When I left my family to go to a different city, I didn’t realize that everybody does not have the same values, so it was really more difficult that I had thought to make new good friends. Just between Ontario and Quebec there is a big difference. Therefore, I understand why sometimes it is easier to develop a good friendship with some people more than others. My family and I have all the same values because we receive all the same education, so it is easier to agree with everyone. I really like to be with my family. They always make me cheerful.

I also understand more about why my family is the most essential part of my life. They are very important to me because my family gives me happiness. Just their presence makes me feel great. I am used to being with them, and they are like a part of me. They know me really well, so my family knows when something is not right and what to do in these situations.  

In conclusion, I am really grateful to have had the chance to live this amazing experience because now I am aware that my family is indispensable in my life. Also I have come to understand that my parents made me who I am, and that I require my family for my happiness. This was a long and hard experience, but despite everything, it has been the most wonderful experience in my entire life; I understand I lot about myself. How about you? What is really important in your life? Have you ever had an experience that made you realize something about yourself?

My Learning Style

            My learning style is multimodal. This means that I have no difficulty to learn in different ways. I am kinesthetic also visual, aural, writing and reading person. When the teachers explain something, I love when they use different ways like when they talk with intonation, write on a board, do a little sketch, or repeat many times.  I use my visual style when I need pictures or draw, and aural style when I repeat the sentences or the words loudly. Sometimes, I need a sketch to understand; this is my kinesthetic side. Finally, it’s easier to remember when I write or read. Any way it’s good for me to study. I think I am lucky to be able to learn in different ways because I can always understand regardless of how something is explained. To be multimodal is very cool, and I was surprised when I saw my result after the test, but it is true; I am a multimodal person.

My Dream Job

In the world everybody has a dream job that may be you will never do. My dream job would be airplane pilot especially driving a CF 18 for many reasons. First, all of my life I have dreamed about traveling all around the world, and with this job I will be always traveling. Secondly, I am a girl who really likes challenges, and I need it in my life. I think that pilot has different challenges every day, and it is one of the reasons why I am interested in this job. Also, this job is a world of men, and I am used to being with men because I have three brothers, and all my childhood I was standing with boys. I really prefer to be with men than women. Next, I could work in the army, and go to war to defend my country or some others in difficulty. The best part of this job will be to fly in the sky like a bird, and have no limits. In conclusion, I would really enjoy this job because it looks good to me. However, this job will never be reality because to drive a CF 18 you need to have perfect eyes, and unfortunately I do not have it.   

The Best Basketbell Team Ever

I played basketball all my high school and I had many different teams throughout these years. Therefore, I made a lot of new friends and I had different experiences with all of them. However, the best year of all was last year because I had the most amazing team.

First, we had a really great team spirit. We did a lot of activities together, such as, make a supper, go out, watch movies, play some others sports that we liked and much more. We tried to see each other as much as possible because it is very important to be often with your team to develop a real and beautiful friendship. We were like a second family, and I am very happy to have a family like that because they are fantastic, and the most important quality that we had it was that everyone was respectful.

Secondly, we have known each other for quite a while. We began to play together at primary school, but after that when we were in high school ours team changed because we were separated. Some of the girl stayed together and some others too, but it depended how good you was. However, we always kept in touch, and we have done a lot of activities together. At the end of the high school we were together in the same basketball team again. Everyone got along well, so it was much easier to do all the things that a team do to have a great friendship because we already have it. The friendship that we had was wonderful, and helped us passing through difficult times.

Next, we were working very hard to be a good team. We were always trying to challenge each other in the practice to be better. We had all the same goal to be better day after day and to win the provincial. We were always trying to do the best that we could in each practice, and even if was harder. We were real fighter, and I am really proud to say that we never give up, and always keep hope to be the best.

In conclusion, the friendship, the hardworking and the team spirit was three things really strong in ours team, and I think that it is really important. It was the most beautiful basketball season in my entire life, and I will never forget this year.

Things Who Relax Me

I am a girl very active and full of energy. However, sometimes I need to relax and do something for unwind myself. It has many things that I like to do to relax, but there are three things that I like more to do than the others.

First of all, I really like to watch movies at my home very comfortable in my couch or in my bed with a lot of coverage and pillow. I like a lot of different kind of movies, such as, comedy, tragedy, romance, suspense and action movies. However, I really don’t like western, horror and science fiction movies. When I watch a movie, I choose it depending how I feel this day. I like watching movies because I feel relaxed and it changes my mind if I have something that I don’t want to think about.

Secondly, a thing that I really enjoy is stretching. Just before go to sleep, I take my mattress, and do some stretching. At the same time I try to take good deep breath. This help me to unwind myself before  going sleep. I really sleep better when I do my stretching.  In addition, I improve my flexibility.  

After that, I enjoy to put some good music, and clean my room or change my room furniture of place. It relaxes me and makes me very happy because I love changes. Music is everywhere in my life and it is very important because it helps me to change my mood, and I really need it to do my training.

Finally, to relax I watch movies, stretch myself and listen music. I really enjoy all of these things and they make me very happy. Therefore, when I need to relax, I already know what I have to do.

 In the world, most people like chocolate. Everyone enjoys eating chocolate bars, chocolate cake, chocolate fondue, chocolate muffins, etc... Also, there are so many different kinds of chocolate, such as, white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate and more. However, the question is: Are there many differences between dark and milk chocolate? Effectively there are few differences.

Advice for a First Date

There are many things that you must not do during a first date. It is very important that your date feels comfortable and interested. Of course, you don’t want to be boring either. You have to be confident and show your best smile. However, I want to tell you what you must not do if you want to have success with your date.

  First of all, don’t introduce your parents on the first night. You will scare your date, and you may never see him or her again and that's not what you want. It is not a good idea because this person will feel uncomfortable and  feel too much pressure.

Secondly, don’t bring your friends on a date especially if your date doesn’t know them because your date could feel that you are not interested in him or her. On a first date, you want to know more about the other person, but with your friends around you, it will be harder to have a good discussion.

Next, you have to be organized. Don’t ask someone on a date if you do not plan anything. You have to be prepared because you want to impress him or her and you don’t want to look like someone who is boring or like someone who doesn’t care about this output.

Finally, I have show you three things that you must not do for your first date with someone. Don’t introduce your parents the first time, don’t bring your friends and don’t be disorganized. If you follow this warning, you will have a good chance to see your date again. Good luck!

A Beautiful Woman

My mother is very pretty, and she has a beautiful face. The first thing that you notice when you see my mother is her shoulder-length, auburn straight shiny hair which highlights her beautiful, small, pale face. When you come close to her you can smell the smell of the flowers in summer. Close to her you can see that She has shapely brown eyebrows, and also very long wonderful eyelashes. However, the loveliest thing on her face are her pale blue eyes which are as blue as tropical water. Below her eyes there is a very small cute nose, and beside her nose there are two pretty little cheekbones, and when she smiles her cheeks become all round, and it's very cute. Under her nose, my mother has a little mouth with beautiful lips as red as a raspberry. My mother has a beautiful and sweet voice. It sounds like a melody to my ears. In short, all of these things together make my mother beautiful.

A feeling very strong

In my life I have a day that I will never forget because it was the strongest feeling of happiness that I had never feel.  At first, I arrived at my school with all of my equipment to snowboard because my school had organized a day of winter activity, so we had to choose an activity in the list that the school had made. I chose to go snowboarding at the mountain with three amazing friends. I was accompanied by Stephanie, my best friend, with her boyfriend, Maxime, and my boyfriend, Nickolas. At this time we were often together and had a lot of fun; we had a great complicity.  After that, everybody took the bus to go at mont-edouard. The distance was about one hour, but I never saw the time pass because I was in great company that we had already arrived. Then, my friends and I were ready to attack the hill. I was so excited and happy to do an activity that I love so much with people very important for me. We were two couples in love and really happy that took advantage of a beautiful day. I can’t describe my feeling that I had at this time. We had a beautiful day with a perfect temperature, the sun, the snow fall and the splendid view all was with us. It was very romantic. I had a feeling that nothing bad could happen and that nothing could take away my joy. This day was wonderful. Finally, at the end of the day we took the bus and return at our home. It’s very hard to explain my feeling at this moment, but I know that I will never forget this beautiful day, in memory of Maxime.
