My favorite commercial is the coca-cola border crossing commercial. I thought it was really funny because, the guards weren't allowed to cross the border/line. Once, a paper crossed from one of the guards boarders but the other guard gave it back using his sword. Later on in the commercial one of the two guards was drinking coke, the other one looked. The guard that was drinking coke made a bigger border line for the other side and placed a coke on the opposite border so they could both drink. It was so funny when the guards erased the line. I first saw this commercial on the third quarter of the 2011 Super Bowl and instantly fell in love with it.
Career Unit
This past month or so, our class has been learning about the career unit. We basically planned out our educational life from this point in time up until our job interview.
One thing that we learned to do was to make a resume. A resume is what you pass in to a company when you go on an interview so that they may see your previous record, both educational and some social information is included as well. A resume consists of contact information, your objective, you educational background, you work experience, achievements, and references.
Filling out a college application is another one of the many things we did in this unit. This was used as an entry form to the college of your choice. It is almost like a resume for applying into college except this form was even more detailed.
One of the other things that we learned about is preparing, going, and what to do after an interview. This would really help me when I go on an actual interview because I would have already had a previous experience. Going on a real interview is a big deal for everyone and being prepared s the first step to getting the job, so this pre-run of the actual day 12 years from now taught me things that I would not bother learning on my own time.
This unit was very entertaining for me to learn about and the facts were very useful. One day when I'm ready to take on a job I can proudly say that I learned form the best about how to get the interview perfect.

My Mom
(Rutgers University)
The biggest influence and inspiration in my life is my family. They’re the people that support you in all of the decisions that you make in your life. They love you no matter what. Out of everyone I know, the most influential person I know is my mom.
She is braver than a thousand soldiers, in my perspective. She has reached more than she would have ever expected 19 years ago when she graduated. All she was before was a newly graduated Filipino nurse, then her life suddenly got complicated. During the beginning of the year 2003, my mom had to go under a kidney surgery for total kidney failure. My uncle was generous enough to donate his healthier kidney, risking his life for his sister’s. My mom’s life became super complicated after that. In 2005 while she was living in Alabama by herself, she had another life changing experience. Her left hip bone weakened because of her kidney medicines, so she underwent in yet another surgery to get that bone replaced by a metal. That’s not the last of her health “issues.”Four years after, her uterus got infected and needed yet another operation. My mom faces more challenges than “average” people. She may struggle through various situations in her life but, she can still face them all.
I was four at the time when my mom’s life started to become more complicated and now I am seventeen and ready to conquer the fear that one day there’s going to be bigger challenges like this for my mom and myself. I have decided to take a course in nursing so that I may help her with her “conditions” and everyone else’s in the world. I believe that Rutgers University will give me the proper education to earn my place as a highly respected nurse.
