Response
After reading the profile written about me by my classmate, I realized that we have to be careful how we say things because some times we might be misinterpreted simply by how we say things. For instance, when I was interviewed by my classmate, he asked about dancing and music and I answered according to my likings. However, the way he word it, sounded like dancing was really important to me, which is not really the case, I mean I like it, but not as he described. Besides the misunderstanding, my classmate did a great job describing how I am even though we only had few minutes conversing, and it was interesting how he incorporated some inspiration based on my answers which felt really nice because that means I did my part of the work by being true with my answers.

Dominic Mitchell
Dominic was born and raised in San Francisco-CA. He graduated from Galileo High School, and is now a current student at Skyline College where he is working on his path to transfer to a four year university where he will study Journalism. He mentioned: “I have always liked to write, usually for fun, nothing serious, but once I started watching sports news, it changed my view about writing, and that was when I knew I wanted to pursue a career in Journalism”. In fact, he confessed that one of his goals is that in ten years he will have started his own magazine, “GQ like”, but for African Americans. He admitted that he is happy with how his life has been so far, and if he had the power to go back in time, there was nothing he would like to have changed in his life because according to him “what I have done in the past has shaped who I am today”. He believes that with enough ingenuity he could get in a position where he could make a difference in the world, and that if it wasn’t for life circumstances, ideally divide wealth amongst the classes would make the world a better place to live.

THIS IS MY BLOG FOR JOUR 120
My name is Marcia Soares. I am a Brazilian who has been living in the US for the last eight and a half years. I am currently anxious as I am on my last semester at Skyline Community College in San Bruno while waiting for the decisions from the UCs I have applied. I also work full time. I have recently declared English as my major as a work my way up to Immigration Law. As a proud Latina that I am, I feel that our "raza" needs advocates, and that is what I am trying to focus on. Besides working and going to school I also try to enjoy some time with my family, friends and of course my boyfriend. I am a very friendly person who loves to make new friends and meet new people.
