Silence

I like silence, It might be because I'm not an outspoken person. I think that silence gives me opportunity to reflect on my actions or ideas. I'm not into meditation or I can't be in silent for a long time. I appreciate silence but there is a point where I'm like I need noise. It depends on what silence means to me. Because for me is the time when I talk to myself. Is when I sit and let my thought wonder around without having a purpose. I honestly don't think I can be in completely silence for like 10 minutes.

Wow, I can't believe we are in week 6 already, time is going by so fast!. So far I like how we have been learning about the foster system. Even thought this class is online, is so interesting reading the articles or surfing the web. . I look forward to read or watch stories about the foster system.

Foster youth

Reading all the post for our assignment, it makes me think that we have a lot to do. The film was like an eye opening because even though I knew a little bit, I was so upset to see how these kids end up. Even though they have a support system is not the same as having your own family who can understand them or to count on when needed the most. It is frustrating knowing that some foster parents don't know how talk to foster youth or they threat them like its their fault to be in that situation. Of course, not everyone is like this. I hope to see some changes near the future and to be part of it.

What about now?

We can be part of the solution.




An inspirational song that makes me think of what we are capable of. We as students we can make a difference. It doesn't matter if you studying SW or not, there is a reason why we want to learn. When I think about poverty it makes me feel useless. I feel like not everyone will be fortune to get some help or will survive another day. It's even harder when I have my own family living in a very small town in Mexico that is very far from technology. Then I think about of how lucky I am to live in a country where I had access to free education at least from primary to high school.
Sometimes, I wonder  if there is going to be a time where all professional come together and work as a team.
