Something I Geek out over is Soccer jersey. At the age of five my dad thought me how to play the sport and ever since then I had a extreme passion for it. As early as the age of eleven my father took me to my first professional soccer game. I remember it like it was yesterday it was FC Dallas vs LA Galaxy the final to win the championship and I remember that day my dad had purchased front row seats and the seats he purchased where were the players came out of the tunnel to enter the pitch. At the time I really didn't go for any team but I remember my dad wanting FC Dallas to win and I remember perfectly after the game was over a couple of the players came out to the stands where we were at and one of the players signed my shirt my dad was very excited but I couldn't really understand why but I was happy to! Ever since that day I grew a passion for collecting soccer jerseys. As the years went by we attended more and more games and more jerseys were collected. This past summer we went on vacation and we had the opportunity to go to a Premiere League Game It was Liverpool against Everton. The jersey I got signed was by Steven Gerrard and this shirt is the most valuable one to me I keep it in a frame. Till this day I have 52 jerseys collect and 6 of those shirts are signed. My next jersey I'm adding to my list is this summer when Barcelona face Real Madrid in Miami. Its nearly impossible to get a signed jersey by either of those teams but I hope I can at least get to meet the players and if I'm lucky maybe get to meet my favorite player Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Main idea of both of these articles is about Metastatic Lung Cancer, as we all know cancer is a very dangerous disease and they are so many different types. In Both of the articles they talk about how it affects and damages peoples life. These both articles got to me because about three and half years ago my mom was test positive for breast cancer, and it devastated me and my family. All though hearing about the bad news we keep ourselves positive. The good news is that the doctors caught it early enough to were they could do something about it.
Reading the first article reflected me on how about how life is to short to be stressing over the littlest thing, because when we worry about things that have no meaning those are the things that brings us down even more.In the second article " My marriage didn't end when I became a widow" It's about how Paul made me see the bright side of the situation and also overcoming and spending as much time as possible as he could with his love ones. His wife over comes her husbands death and also tells us how much her husband really meant to her. Also the point of her article is to show you the point of the view of how she loses her husband but she also states that it will be okay. She also explains that you can move on and you can honor the ones you have lost.
What gives the Lucy Kalanithi a strong voice her being positive and making it through her hard situation. I would highly recommend this to everyone so they can see the story they lived and also so every one can see how his wife overcame the horrible death of her husband and still manage to move forward.

Mr. Still
English 0304
This is a recommendation on the movie, Any Given Sunday. The Reason for it is because i watched this movie the other day and was motivated by the actors, and the coach. The motivation part i picked up form this movie is a part that helps me get threw the day.
Therefore the motivational quote i picked comes from a coach named Al Pacino's in the movie. The reason for me picking this particular video is being because it defines the away your life is impacted and how you contribute to it and make a move. I was first shown this video from my coach from high school in a final game of the season that mattered the most.
The reason for it is being because we were in a difficult situation we were in need of winning the last game of the season in order to go to playoffs.So therefore in this video it states you can't give up when your so close to the end. You finish the fight. The part of the video that stands out to me is, "Either we heal now as a team, or we will die as individuals" this part made me realize how much the value of your teammates is really worth.
This impacts me in a way to were life is like a game of inches you have to over come difficult obstacles that aren't going be easy, and you can do it as a team or you can do it alone, but just know doing it alone is much harder than doing it with your teammates because at least you know your teammates will do anything to give everything they've got to win. Thanks to Al Pacino's Speech its giving me motivation in the small situations in life and has helped me get through the tough one.

Blog: 4 Grand Theft Auto V: The Official Trailer
In the world of video games there are a lot of games out there that are worth buy and other that are not so much I would highly recommend to anyone is the game Grand theft auto five. The creators of the game are David Jones and Mike Dailly also known as Rockstar Games, and there also known for other outstanding games such as Red dead redemption and much more. One of the reason I would highly recommend this game to anyone is being because in this game you can really do what ever you want, its like things you can't do in real life that you can experience in the game. You can get away with pretty much anything but I wouldn't recommend this game to kids under the age of 15. Another reason would be the campaign mode in the game the campaign mode gives you access to becoming the player in the game and doing overcoming difficult and different obstacles to again respect in the game. I enjoy it a lot because it's a game you would really like talking control over. Finally, my last reason to why I enjoy the game a lot is being because I can play with other friends online and compete with them through obstacles and earn money something I couldn't do in real life. Here's a link to the trailer of the game so you can get a good visual idea of what the game will consist of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvoD7ehZPcM The reason why you should trust in my word is because I've experienced the game to its highest levels and for all those gamers out there looking for a game to give you that feeling that you have all the power in your hands this is the game you'd want to have. My opinion is valuable because I've had this game and experience every aspect of the game to its fullest and is so worth the cost.

Mr. Still, well for it being the first exam it wasn't so bad and it was somewhat okay. Honestly I was expecting like 4-5 pages. I want to say I did okay but I feel like I could have done better. Also another thing I had thought you were going to put all of the twenty something vocabulary on the exam but you only put the ten that I couldn't really remember that much. Either way I don't think I did good on the vocabulary part. A little multiple choice wouldn't hurt and I'm sure your classes would be thankful for it. The response questions weren't to bad in my opinion I think I did fairly well on them. The thing I wish could've done different with this exam is the vocabulary part. I wish that part could have been multiple choice at least and a lot of your students or the majority could've agree on that. My expectations weren't to high coming into this test just because you made it seem like it was going to be very hard. Therefore, regardless of my studying I didn't think I would've got everything down by the day of the exam so therefore I didn't expect much or I didn't go in with high expectations other than I hope I did well. The only thing I wish I could have done differently was to study a little more on the vocabulary because that's what got to me the most. I prepared fairly well it just that when I got to the vocabulary my mind went blank the reason for that is because I studied all the vocabulary and I could remember all of it and some words I studied more than other just because I couldn't get the definition down.

Letter to young American
Marco Cruz
Dear Mr. Rollins, I completely agree with Mr. Rollins video directing different situations that most college students approach and find difficultly when approaching the time to enrolling into college. Its difficult when you come from nothing, I don’t come from a family that has money in which it makes it a lot harder and challenging for me. Therefore, most college students have to overcome obstacles and financial issue to get to were they want to get in life because, most college students have to work for what they want. Unlike most college students now in our generation they’re just given stuff and don’t have to work for anything, those type of students don’t know what its like to earn money. Therefore, "Just because you come from nothing you must not let that be something that holds you back". This quote impacts me in a way like no other in this video because, its best describes me and my life. You don’t need to come from a wealthy family in order to succeed in life or reach your goals the obstacles may be hard but not impossible. Like mentioned in the video "You got what you got an you make the most of it". For example, I was giving hardly nothing from my parents when attending college but the little help they gave me helped me maintain myself and I made the most out of it because in my situation I had it no other way. Also like mentioned in Henrys video "You got to keep picking yourself up because if you don’t it won’t get done". Whatever it is your trying to accomplish and whatever your situation maybe you need to overcome the obstacle and pick yourself up because if you don’t pick yourself up nobody else will. Its all in our hands to accomplish to what we want in life. Henry Rollin's is an American musician, actor, writer, television and radio host, and comedian.

Introducing myself
My name is Marco i am 20 years old born on October 12. I'm from a small town called Corsicana its about an hour away from Dallas, TX. I'm the smallest one in the family out of my brother and sister, my brother Hector being 22 years old and my sister Alma being 24 years old. I am the first to ever go to college out of my brother and sister. When not found studying, I usually play sports such as soccer. I do not read as much books but the books that interest me are science fiction. The only thing I consider my self-good at doing is playing soccer, soccer has been a big impact since I can remember The thing that am into is construction science. It matters to me because my dad has a small construction company and I hope one day to have one of my own or inherit his company and possibly expand the company to make it bigger and bring in more money. In order to achieve my goal, I have to work extra hard in school and actually learn the material and applying it to my life. I hope my family will be there through my journey to see my succeed and become the person they knew I could become. The academic goals I have for this semester are passing all my classes, actually learning something, and applying it to my real life situations. I want to describe myself as a role model to my friends and family. The changes I have to go through to meet my goals are studying extra, also staying focus in class, and spending a lot of time doing my work or assignments in class. In the future i hope to have my own company in construction and make my parents proud in what I've become
