Gluten Free 🆓

   Gluten free 

Gluten Free diets are seen all the rage nowadays. You can see gluten free foods in supermarkets, and restaurants. News about gluten free diets are all over social media. What do people really know about gluten free foods? 

Our survey results have some surprises. A majority of people responded that they started eating gluten free products, and others said they try to avoid gluten free products.

A quarter of the people in the survey thought that gluten free food has more nutrients that foods with gluten.

More than a third of the people interviewed thought that a gluten free diet will help them lose weight. In fact, studies have shown that gluten free diets can increase the risk of becoming overweight. However, there is no research that provides this to be true. 

Sorry 🙏🏾

     Forgiveness letter.

Eder and I are really good friends. We became this close at the end of our third semester. In the fourth semester, we started taking the same classes and shared a schedule. During this semester, I met new people who are still friends of mine, but we don't talk as much as we used to. In this semester, we only shared one class.

Six months ago, we had a misunderstanding. I'm not going to say a lot about this, but from my point of view, I think he misunderstood because there was a lack of communication between us. Eder and I talked a little bit on WhatsApp, and I thought it could solve everything. I mean, we could still talk as if nothing had happened. But it wasn't like that. We stopped talking for 2 and a half weeks, if I'm not mistaken. After these 2 weeks, we had a presentation for our class. We were on a team with our friend Jessi, who witnessed everything between us. During these 2 weeks, the only interaction we had was on our team WhatsApp group. Eder was the leader, and I suggested he upload the homework. That was the only interaction. During the presentation, we both said, "Family, we need to talk." Guess what? We didn't talk because it started to rain. We talked after 2 days. We shared our experiences, and we ended on good terms.

Internet 👩‍💻.

     What would you do without internet?

Okay. I need to confess that I use the Internet for everything, including having fun. When I am doing my activities, I need to listen to music; that's a simple example. No internet equals no music. During the pandemic, there was a problem in my neighborhood; we didn't have internet for around a week and a half. It was so stressful for me because, of course, virtual class. Thankfully, my teachers understood my problem. They told me not to worry.

When I do my homework, I need to search for information, so I use the internet. The internet has facilitated my life so much. I am pretty sure we couldn't live without it. As I said, we use it for everything: school, work, having fun, and communicating with others. But something that I know is I don't need the internet as much as I need energy.

Technology in classroom 🏫

    We have to admit that we are in a technological age, nowadays we use technology for almost everything, and I can assure you that many of you can stand a day without your cellphones. Basically, having a cellphone has become a necessity, and education is not an exception, for example, when we have to attache our tasks, we use platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Virtual Horizon, and in this case, Blogger. The point is that we can use technology not only for entertainment, we can use it to study, for example, we have dictionaries on the web in which we can look for the meaning of a word in seconds, and not only the meaning, we can hear the pronunciation, synonyms, antonyms and so on. We can take advantage of the technology, but we must know how to use it. 

Blind 🙈

    What would you do if you were blind? 

I've been pondering the daily challenges faced by blind individuals. During my last semester, I had the privilege of taking classes with an inspiring blind woman. Despite her condition, she demonstrated remarkable dedication to her studies, which I deeply admired. I remember a specific incident where she firmly reprimanded a classmate for being overly talkative. Her proficiency in English was impressive, and she even encouraged us to ask her questions at the end of each class. When we inquired about her teaching methods despite her condition, she explained that her love for English served as her inspiration, motivating her to overcome any obstacles with unwavering determination.

Plans 📆

    My plan to go to CU was canceled by my best friend, Jesús. He and I were supposed to go together. Since it was my first time going to CU, he decided to help me. That day, my friend called me and apologized. He said, 'Hi Leo, I am sorry, but I wouldn't be able to go to CU with you.' I told him it was okay, although I was very nervous. I didn't know how to get there.

    I walked to a middle school near my faculty. I took the bus, and when I got off the bus, I was at "Parque Ecologico." I called Jesús to tell him I was lost. He tried to help me over the phone, but he gave up. He didn't know what he was doing. I had to ask a guy for directions. This guy was very helpful; he took me to the bus station
