Book that i enjoy


My most enjoyed book is "Path of the warrior" which it isn't a novel but in some way a "self aid book". It has about 40 short-history like-messages that gives you an answer or solution to personal questions of day life. It was written by Lucas Estrella Shultz, who is some kind of philosopher who practices Buddhism who has captured his thoughts and presented in a way to be interpreted and related by reader's emerging questions.

It's a book to be read in special moments when it's needed to have an answer about something you can't see (not for the eye), it sounds weird, but it works; it really helped to calm down my mind when i required.

It's a light book that can be read by anyone, i recommend it.

English blogging experience

I will refer to the whole experience of the english class.
I subscribed to this course in the way to complete my elective charge, thinking that will be like any other plain english (spanish spoken) class, with the classic listening tapes, fill documents, etc. but was different, i've never been in a class where the teacher talks all the time in english, neither talk to my classmates in english during a class. At that moment i was surprised with a feeling of -this is what i expected from a english course- but that wasn't all. The blogging experience of the second part of the class was very rewarding, for several reasons: It’s up to date, in the way of using the internet, allowing us to interact with our classmates and the rest of the world through comments; all the written content can be avalaible for everyone, so we could be evaluated not only by the teacher, but any person; the written information can be complemented by linking online related data when requiered; also makes you to be the most accurate as possible at showing contents, because you are filling your personal space, not just doing the class work.

I think this is a great way to learn english and improve the language, because allows to correct some errors on the fly, being connected at the moment of editing or creating a new post in the blog.

Finally I will like to thank at Mr. Simon Higginson, our english teacher, for training and showing us a new way to experience the english learning.
