Im really excited because school its almost over. Its been a hard year and I just want to enjoy my summer with friends and family.
My two major plans for summer are find a job and go to Honduras which Im sooo excited for, i havent been in my country about a year and a half; I really miss my culture, some other family members, friends, food and the nice weather.
At this time of the year the weather it is really sunny and comfortable, not too hot, not too cold, it is kind of humid too, totally different to the Texas weather.
It is really nice because our culture its based more on the family being the nucleo of our society, you can tell there that everything it is very family centralized. Our customs and traditions are very important too because those are the one that keep us from getting too americanize, it is very important to keep your own identy because thats what makes you interesting. It would've be boring if all countries had the same culture.
Sometimes its hard for me to believe that it been passed already 3 years. Everything have changed so fast and when it comes to friends and family it is even more harder because sometimes you stayed with a certain memory of your loved ones and when you see them again, it is a totally different thing.
This year all my friends are graduating in Honduras which that could've been me, but even though it makes me feel kind of sad when i think about, there is nothing that I regret of coming here, i know its a better country with many opportunities for a girl thats willing to do anything to achieve her big dreams. :)

One Child Policy
The one child policy is a population plan to control the birth rates and population growth of China.
This policy was introduced in 1979 and consist in only have one child per married couple to prevent overpopulation and the problems that come along with it, like economic and social problems and to create a more develop China.
The one child policy have created many controversies especially in the moral, health and civil concerns among the people of China and around the world.
This policy has been taken to the extreme that abortions and infaticides have been enforced which creates manys problem within the health care of women and children to satisfy and follow the rules of the government, which had been critized of creating genocides.
There is also a great preference for boys over girls, suffering discrimination from the families and because of this many girls have died or abandoned and the most common putted to adoption. It creates an inbalance because the Chinese population in a few year might struggle because they wont have enough women to procreate, so the nation would ended up stuck from develping into a world power.
On the other hand, this policy have shown positive results in controling the overpopulation of China and also developing a better economy, reducing unemployment and the rates of exploitation, at the same time it is shown that health care have improved.
However, it is not neccesary to implement such extreme plans to control masses from this problem. Some of this solutions can be to educate the Chinese peoples to be more considerate with the birth rates and also considerate more the idea of adoption and finally change some extreme cultural traditions, accept and include women to contribute to the improvement of a better China.
"Ethics, too, are nothing but reverence for life. This is what gives me the fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists in maintaining, promoting, and enhancing life, and that destroying, injuring, and limiting life are evil."
Albert Schweitzer
