Single Parents Working Hard

In this world, we have many problems that we have to deal with. Sometimes we make the problems or they happen anytime or everywhere. One of the issues we have to deal with is the difficulties of being a single parent. It can create problems between the parent and the kid. There are several examples of difficulties for single parents. One reason is their economic future. If you become a single parent one day, you have to work double than you usually work. Otherwise, you won’t earn much money. Of course, the government gives some extra money, but if you have lots kid, the money is not enough to support the family. You have to pay the bills, car insurance, electricity, and gas. Another reason that it is difficult is maintaining a household. If you have children, it means you have to a lot clean, especially if you have a little kid. You clean and next time you turn around, they have made a mess again. They like to be dirty. Several months ago, I saw an advertisement for babies. One baby talked to another baby. The advertisement was about baby body soap. One of babies told the other baby the how to get dirty, so that they could wash everyday. It was cute. Finally, education is a problem for single parents. When kids are grown up and ready to go to school, you have to help them get ready to get to school on time, so you have to do everything yourself. When kids are done with school, you have to pick them up on time, so that they don’t get into trouble. I would like to applaud all single parents in the U.S and around the world. I am proud of them because they have a difficult job more than any other job.

How to Survive in a Foreign Country

When a new immigrant arrives in a foreign country and he is going to migrate to that new country for acquiring as job or some other reasons, he/she needs to follow some basic knowledge of that new country and its culture. The foremost important thing is to learn to speak and write the national language of the country. For instance, in some countries like India, there are more than twenty-two different languages, but the national language is Hindi. Before a person decides to migrate to that country, he/she must devote some time to studying the basic language of that country. For example, if someone wants to migrate to the U.S., the person has to spend some time learning English, so he can communicate and find a job for his survival in that new country. That is the most important step for a newcomer to begin in a new country. The new immigrants who are migrating to a new country for immigration purposes or political asylum, have to try to learn about the culture of that country so they can effectively meet people in the community and make good social relationships in the community in which they are living. There are many different countries in the world that are democratic, communist, and other totalitarian regimes, and each country has different rules. The newcomers need to learn the basic infrastructure of the government and political system, so they can survive effectively in that new country. The new migrants should have the basic knowledge of the food and other consumer markets, servicing the community, so they can buy food and other necessities everyday. Every immigrant should know the foreign embassy of their own country, which can offer them the needed help in case of any legal issues regarding immigration arise. Is Human migration governed by the law of the survival of the fittest? In this vast natural ecosystem, millions of seeds grow and among them, may be thousands or even hundreds of seeds that grow and multiply. Humans are the most intelligent species in the animal kingdom, so they need more wisdom and understanding of the ecosystem they live in. Therefore, nature provides all the abilities and by nurturing it develops its full growth. Consequently, they achieve a maximum harmony with their habitat and ecosystems they live in.

R.I.P TUTU

The event that changed my life was when one of my dearest friends got killed. His name was Aurthor Pina a.k.a Tutu. He was only nineteen years old and he lived with my friend Birdy and his family, who were his cousins, uncle, and aunt. He had been living there for about five years. He was killed while standing on his front porch. He had gone to the front porch to smoke a cigarette. When, all of sudden someone came out the alley and started shooting at him. His family heard the shots fired, and when they rushed outside they found him lying on the porch. Birdy came out and started yelling “get up cuz get up”. Then my mom came out from next store and asked “what happened”? Birdy said I think Tutu got hit! My mom ran inside, called the ambulance, and then came back outside. She ran up the steps where Tutu was lying and he was trying to get up but couldn’t. Then all of a sudden his hood came off his head and blood started squirting out. Then, my mom put her hand over his head, on his left side where the blood was coming from. She stood their talking to him, telling him that the ambulance was on the way. When the ambulance came, they took him to Loyola Hospital, where he was put on a machine that kept him alive. On December 11, 2004 the doctors said that there was nothing else that they could do because, there was no blood flowing to the brain. This meant that he was clinically dead. On that day they disconnected the machine and he died. I will always remember this because December 11th is my birthday. They also ended up catching the person who did it and it was one of our old friends that backstabbed us.
