I hope I get the chance to write something new we can not only disscuss, but also learn froim my mistakes... In fact, If you find any mistake here... I thank you for all your corrections!

Education Education in Colombia is a difficult topic to deal with. Since the creation of the new infant law, that gives more "rights" and permissions to teenagers; we, the teachers, are facing a problematic non-willing to learn times. Students are using the law as a shield that protects them from being responsible. They aren't doing their assigments because they know that the teachers are obligued to give them make up activities; So why bother. They enter to classrooms whenever they want, and we have no other option, but to let them in, otherwise, we could be sued for limiting the learning process which is a right. According to the government, we have to create a motivating enviroment for the students. But what if they aren't really interested in learning anything? There's no motivation that works! I think the law is wrong. I believe it wasn't thought through! I consider it's to permissive and therefore harmful for our society. I don't know where all of this is leading to or how we are going to end up, but nothing seems promising if we continue like this. Our teenagers aren't taking enough responsability regarding what they have in their hands: our future!

Soccer! I don't understand why most people in Latinamerican countries and specially European countries have the tendency to believe that we all like futbol Soccer. That's not true! I don't like soccer, And I know many other people who don't like soccer either. There are thousands of people who find it not only boring, but also annoying! These soccer lovers stare at us as though we were from another planet! Come on! There's nothing wrong about our differences and tastes; In fact, that's one of the things that makes us human, Imagine a world where everybody enjoys the very same things, having the same tastes... How Boring! That would limit the creation of new Ideas! Anyway, I don't like soccer, Though I don't hate it either, I just happen to enjoy other activities: I love Martial Arts (Been training Kung-fu since I was 11), I enjoy Jogging, Like watching MMA, cardio and fitness activies are great exercise to me... To sum up, NOT EVERYONE enjoys soccer! It's not fun for many many people, and no, I do not care about the world cup! (Though I like visiting countries...) I prefer the Olyimpics, THAT'S REAL SPORTS TO THE FULLEST!

We'll Need another Planet! I just read the news today, And there's an article which states we are causing devastating damage to our planet. That's nothing new, but according to what scientists say, we would need another planet, or maybe two, if we continue consuming as much as we are now. And despite of the fact that there are greater possibilities of the existance of other planets capable of life bearing, I don't think we'll get to see that soon! They also point out that if we don't start changing our ways now, we'll be out of resourses by the year 2030. That means, we won't be able to support ourselves, no food, no electricity, no water, NO LIFE indeed! So, Why don't we start pondering that and really DO something about it!
