South America

I´m living in Uruguay, I have a good job, wonderful food and enjoying life.

You as Americans or Europeans don´t have a job, are hungry.

For me those statistic's are bull sheet.

South America is a must better place to leave that is what "our" study said.

Happiness is what accounts.

My only responsibility is with my own ignorance, the others ignorance is their problems.

Education has always been a major priority for me. I was brought up in a family that was centered on education. Both of my grandma’s were teachers. I have sixteen brothers and Sisters and all but 3 of them have college degrees. Ten of those have high school certifigate, and 4 of them went on to earn their undergraguate. My parents are both college graduates. Ever since I’ve been old enough to really understand things, they have stressed how important it is to be educated. So growing up I found education to be a vitally important part of my life. Education helps build you up. It allows you to do things that you are not able to do without an education. It is like the old saying, “education is the building block that makes Somali grow.” The same can be said for myself. My education is what continues to allow me to grow and mature. and I have allready Bostgraduate i am so exiting .

I have witnessed many good teachers and many bad teachers in my many years of learning University. There have been far more good ones than bad ones. These teachers have a major impact on the students that they teach day in and day out. Each teacher and professor has his or her own teaching style. What works for one does not necessarily work for the other. On the other hand, each teaching style does not always work well with some individual students. It is the teacher who can adapt to these circumstances students who can really have a profound effect on their students. I had one the best professors I have ever met. His name was Dr. Hammond. He was a professor
