Home schooling With the development of technology and the flourish of the internet, parents are more inclined to leave their children to decide whether they want to go to a regular school or stay at home an study with their help. Kids usually choose to have regular classes, but there are a few who decide that they want to study with their parents. Now it is more usual to hear that kids are being educated through the internet. First of all, parents can be great teachers. They usually have a wide range of degrees such as maths, literature, science and so on. Sometimes, they are even more prepared that some educators and they are passionate about teaching. In fact, some famous presidents like Abraham Lincoln was home schooled. Second of all, making friends is not a concerned. On the internet, we can find a handful of forums and organizations where kids have the chance to interact and organize events in their communities with other home school kids. Finally, the social aspects are important, and school is about making friends. But a lot of researchs have shown that we don't keep in touch with our old friendships. In conclusion, having a parent as a teacher, it is not a bad idea and we need to be open to new ways of educations.

Film club Introduction The best movies that we should watch in the film club should be about personal growth and history. Challenges and happiness: Movies of that nature would help tremendously in our personal life. Scientist has shown that watching films about success increase the level of adrenaline in our body and serotonin, therefore making us happy and willing to tackle more challenges. Moreover, films about history would help us understanding our past so we can learn from it. Social media is the key: I think the best place where we can meet is the teachers lounge. We can ask for permission and if we get the thumbs up, start to meet one a month. But first we need to let people know about our club and our purposes. We could go to the college radio and book and interview. We should also hand flyers outside the cafeteria and the library. Social media is perhaps the best way to reach people. We could create events and fan pages for our newly film club. Conclusion: In conclusion, I think that we should watch films about personal growth and history of the world because it will helps us with our self-stem.

Work and happiness Humans are the only animals in the planet who sacrifice their lives for earn a living. Although this is normal and we have to work in order to maintain our family, lately people are thinking more and more about the importance of happiness in the workplace. First, we have to consider that humans spend half of their adult life at work. The average work requires 6 hours a day, 6 times a week. That’s a lot of time. A famous author once wrote that if you find a job that you like, you are never going to work again and that’s exactly what “millennials” are looking for. They all want a fulfilling job where they can be happy and, at the same time, help the planet and people. Second, the type of work that was demanding in the 70’s and 80’s was to fill a place in a factory line. Nowadays, due the automatization of factories, employees need to have a degree and a lot of experience, to be able to find a job in a company. But, with the increasingly number of college graduates, degrees are less valuable. Thus, young adults are accepting whatever is available, wich is usually a stressful job with minimum wage. Finally, due all we’ve talked about so far, the best path to choose from, is the creation of companies, with new values, where the only mandatory demand it’s accountability and passion. In conclusion. New generation need to create tribes and communities where they can work freely. We certainly need to work, is one of the rules of our society, but is paramout that we first find our niche in the world.

Pet Sematary I recently read a novel by Stephen King called “Pet Sematary”. It was quite scary and well written; it’s about a family who moved to another city to resume their lives. The main character is Louis, a college worker who doesn’t believe in ghost and he is surprised by how little he knows about life and death. The main plot goes around Julian’s life as a doctor in this little town, his friendly neighbors and the death of his cat. As always, King doesn’t disappoint us, he gives us a fulfill story, great characters and a spooky place where pets go to rest. However, this book shouldn’t be read by kids. There’s a lot of violence, explicit scenes and obscene language. And most of all, it’s one of the scariest books out there. But like good books, it gives us several lessons, for instance you should trust and be thankful to your neighbor, and don’t bury your pets in an native american cemetery. I highly recommend this book, but remember to always keep the lights on.
