IS YOUR DREAM TO BE HAPPY?

There are a lot of things that make me happy, like listening to music, meeting my friends, watching films in the cinema, go to parities… When I’m feeling happy I always smile, of course, and I tell to my friends and family that I’m happy.

It makes me feel sad watching the news, because there are always some bad news, another thing that makes me bad are the sad or romantic films, because I always cry, see old people alone in the street… When I’m sad I try to feel happy, staying with my friends, laughing, and sometimes I get happy.

Since I started the high school, I feel stressed most of the days because, if I haven’t got homework, it’s sure that I have an exam. I haven’t got days, until Monday to Friday, to relax and stay in the sofa, watching the TV, in the computer… I hate it! To fight the stress I sit down in the sofa for half an hour after having lunch and I watch the TV and talk to my parents.

MY WORLD - things that scared me

Since I was aproximatelly five years old, I always watched on the TV the series Conan, and I wasn't scared of the series, but I was scared of the shadows because they always appear behind the doors. I couldn't sleep because I imagine the shadows under my desk or behind my doors.

Another thing that scared me a lot were the horror films. I really like to watch horror films but I feel very scared. I can't watch horror films in my house alone, I need my friends near me to feel protect.

I am also scared of walking alone in the dark, alone or with company, because I think that it can appear somebody to frighten me, not on purpose, but I get scared easier than nobody else.

MY WORLD - my favourite song

I think one of my favourite songs is Hold my hand by Akon and Michael Jackson, because it makes me remember a lot of things that I did between two and three years ago. I listened to this song with my best friend, and we always sang it, it makes me really happy to remember these moments, because when I'm thinking of it I always have a smile on my face.

I really like the lyrics and the meaning of it, because it talks about a boy that loves a girl and he says to her to hold his hand to fight together for their love.

The video it's lovely because there is a lot of people doing cool things, because Michael sings this song but before publishing the song he died, and then Akon make it public.

MY HERO

My hero is Lluís Llach. he was a person who reclaimed the freedom of his country and his language by music and songs in Catalan. 

That wasimportant because he lived in a dictatorship and there wasn't any freedom of liberty of expression. 

I consider it my hero because in the past, people lived in a police state and for a few things they out you in prison, and he had the courage to tease the censure and sing what he and the people thought.

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

The graphic shows that my intellignces are very different. It says that I'm very good at myself smart and body smart. It also says that I'm not very good at number smart and nature smart, but I don't agree, because I thik that I'm better in number smart than in word smart. 

I agree with some of the careers of the intrapersonal career chart, like intelligence officer, psychologist and small business. I like this jobs because when I'm older I want to be a business woman.

I disagree with all the careers of the Kinesthetic career chart, because I prefer jobs related with the business world, or helping people. I don't like practicing sport a lot.
