Journal Question #5 My major

I am a petroleum geologist. When I was child my dream was to be pilot, but my mother was afraid and worried with the job’s gravity. I remember the day that my mother asked me “what are you enjoying in?” and “what do you will be in future?” She already knew what my answer could be but it was just a question, she expected different answer. At that moment, I stared at her and to be honest I really had no idea about the kind of major I would want to pursue. She told me! Why not on land? Why have to be in air? Because of this I decided change my mind. Furthermore, by coincidence on television was passing the geology survey done by Bauma who is one of the most famous geoscientist in world. I was so fascinated with program that I could extrapolate my idea why not on land with geology program. Since that time I never change my mind, I did my undergraduate degree many years ago, so my interest keep growing more and more. However, I love it that is part of my life and I feel it in my blood. I pretend to take a master degree as soon as possible. I realized that this is appropriate for me and everything works by instinct specially when oil discover is made, It become one page written in my heart, one poem and one thought. It is my destiny.

Journal Question #4

I have eaten many things, in many different places, but I have tried to eat things that are similar to my daily diet. I don’t have strange eating practices. The strange thing that I had eaten was clay, red sandstone and drunk tea with some ants on it. In my country eating clay and red sandstone called (barro) is practiced by children and pregnant with lower socioeconomic status. Some experts have been criticizing these practices and others have been relating with nutritional deficient such as iron and calcium mineral. When I ate clay and red sandstone, they tasted and smelled earth (natural rock). My concerning was that they could be involved in contamination from bacteria and parasites. I couldn’t chew due to the texture, hardness, form and composition. Moreover, I drunk tea with some ants, and the tea taste and smell was the same. I really enjoyed drink tea with ants, but its appearance makes me feel bad. There is a bias that drinking tea’s ants make beautiful your eyes. Furthermore, I have seen people who eat monkey, and they really enjoy the flavor of the food. I’m not curious I just watch the dish with food. I haven’t tried to eat exotic foods, so I don’t know how it tastes. I suggest people who like unusual food make sure if they were in quality control. To sum up, it is important to know that some strange foods are made for medicinal reasons, and I don’t like to eat strange thing, so I tried just once.

Journal Question #3

This is hard and difficult topic to narrate because I never expected myself as a deceased. Moreover, it is difficult express our characteristic because it belongs in our qualities that it is a part of our personality. Our personality given by someone close to us reflect more coherence than given by ourselves. However, If one day I die, I will like that my inscription on tombstone to be taken from biblical scripture. For example, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” This can express one of my quality as a servant of God. I think this message as epitaph will be a good example because who read will be motivated and inspirited to the word of God. Nevertheless, I will be satisfied with legacy because it is a law of life and no one can deny. This is one constant because children will do the same following to a similar goal. Legacy for many cultures is a patrimony with moral obligation that you have to handle. I consider as best legacy a guarantee for children’s education not material things. I would be remembered as a loyal for God, family, friends and Country.
