This spring break, I went to the UK. Some parts are adorable, also. I love the center of the city, and I enjoy being with my friends and some teachers. I made some friends in my class, but they were so annoying that I also got stressed. The school in the UK is so tiny that we couldn’t do too much; my favorite part of the trip was when I hung out at night with my friends to see the outlets. It was hilarious.

IRJE#6 Alibaba
‘Alibaba’ by Duncan Clark, stands out among the best books about the economy due to its unique approach to explaining the intricate workings of the economic structure. For example:
“Because of the way our economy is structured, the government has a lot of resources.”(page 8)
This quote shows how the government is structured and gives us an idea of how China’s economy is progressing; I recommend this book to people interested in learning how the economy and government work.

PR “Our Town”
Our Town, by Thornton Wilder, When I first started reading Our Town by Thornton Wilder, I was immediately struck by the simplicity and charm of the play. The setting of a small town in New Hampshire felt familiar and relatable, The way Wilder introduces the characters and their daily lives with minimalistic dialogue and stage directions creates a sense of authenticity. It was easy to imagine the bustling streets, the gossip shared at the kitchen tables, and the overall tight-knit nature of the community. From the very beginning, I felt a connection to the world Wilder had created, and it left me eager to continue delving deeper into the story.
Our Town follows the lives of the Gibbs and Webb families in the small town of Grover’s Corners. The first act introduces the daily life of the town, with focus on the young protagonists George Gibbs and Emily Webb. The second act explores their love and eventual marriage. In the third act, Emily has died and joins the dead in the cemetery, where she learns the true value of life. The play emphasizes the fleeting nature of human existence and the importance of cherishing every moment.
PR to The story of Joseph
I found The story of Joseph so interested first it began this excerpt from the bible and to challinging also is so confused for me in some aspects for example the detailed that he was 17 and then 30 it was a little confused but it was written made it slide into the next part of Josephs’ life.
My favourite character is Joseph, he do a lot of things in the story, first of all, all of his brothers dont like him because he’s dads favourite and also doesnt work, also when he is put into slavery the person’s wife accuses Joseph of raping her, so now he is the prission, thats why my favourite character is Joseph he is strong doesnt matter the situation.

PW #4 My first time playing in Europe
My first time playing in Europe
It all started with a soccer camp, I was very excited because it was my first time that I was going to go to a soccer camp, the camp was in the mountains with big cabins for all the players, we were training about 5 hours a day, two weeks and every night we had to go for a run, it was very tiring, but I was so obsessed with going to Spain to play that even if it hurt, I did, I made a lot of friends, some older than me and some smaller, and I also made friends my age because I was going to play with them, so I had to adapt, then once they chose me that I was very nervous, they told us when our flight left the procedures to be able to travel and everything that was needed, I said goodbye to my family, the only one who accompanied me was my mother, so I had to say goodbye to the others, then once we were on the plane I couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t believe that I had made it, then arriving at Madrid Airport, we We got off and they picked us up in a truck,I had time to meet more people and when we arrived at the hotel our roommates assigned us, I had played with two children from Arizona, very cool and the hotel was very big, it had everything, the next day of all that they told us to prepare because we were going to have a training session in the morning with a soccer player and it was very cold and we were all giving our best And no one would give up,the next day we had our first match and we were all very nervous because in the end we won, I don’t remember how much and we were all very happy, two days later the matches started we were in 3rd place and we all felt bad but we knew that we were going to go play in Barcelona and we felt better in Barcelona we were in 2nd place and we already felt much better and we had to go back to Barcelona. Mexico.
PW #3 Why I Started Playing American Football
I started playing football because it’s a sport that teaches you life lessons, even if you don’t realize it, for example, what always happens in American football is that you fight with someone, but if you fall, you always have to get up and that always happens in life, if something very strong happens, you always have to get up, no matter how strong the pain is, you always get up and Your team is always going to be your family, you have to be there through thick and thin.
And it’s also the other way around, they’re always going to be there for you, it happened to me the first time I played football, I cried, the blow was so hard that I had to cry, but sometimes or always you have to hold back your tears and give it your all, the American taught me to make friends and several life lessons that from my point of view another sport doesn’t give you, although I also like soccer.
IRJE #2 Atomic Habits
Atomic Habits, I am enjoying it very much, this book teaches you very important things that you can do to improve your life day by day, leaving aside the whims, it teaches you several things such as how to make small habits so involved in your life that they make you change from your way of thinking to the way you see the world.
“All big things come from small beginnings”. (p.22)
This word is very simple but very profound at the same time this word tells you for me no matter the circumstances no matter how difficult it is, always get up and give your best always.
PR to Master & Man
Master and Man was a book written by Leo Tolstoy. When the teacher told us that we had to read a book and that book was Master and Man, I didn’t like the idea very much, the truth is that the book didn’t sound, but almost reaching the end and the end of the story I liked it a lot.
For me, the character that I liked the most and that caught my attention the most was Nikita because despite everything that Vasili did to him, he continued to believe in him or not, but he continued with him and cares about other people before him and that is what I liked most about him as a person.
For me, this story makes me think a lot about how people can change, like Vasili, of course the situation has a lot to do with it, but for me it makes me believe that there are people who can change. And that makes me feel happy but sad at the same time, happy because I know that there are people who can change, sad because Vasili and the horse died.
I think that the end of the story was something that impacted me the most, one why Vasili sacrifices himself for Nikita, how people can change to a certain extent, I would not be able to tell you if the meaning of the title changes much but I think so, from the point that someone who was interested went on to sacrifice his life for someone else and the truth is that I was very impressed by the ending.
For me it is realistic but in certain aspects there are things that do not add up 100% but there are also many things that are very realistic from my point of view from my life experiences but it is also valid that many people think that it is not but for me it is realistic.
The best night in Mexico – PW #2
The best night for myself was in CDMX was in this year 2023, when I did a party with my friends in my house. They went like 200 people for me and more people the party was one of the best nights in this year. I remember that we were so many people that the police arrived, but in my opinion was the best night and it was worth it. It was so fun the vibe that we had a lot of any types of drinks.
Atomic Habits
Written by James Clear
This book talks about how little things can do a big differences in your live and strategies that you can use in your day, I chose this book because it helps you know the art of how small things can make a big difference, like making your bed, since how you make your bed is how you start your day, small things that can help you a lot that you don’t do. realized that they are very essential that is connected with the discipline, helps you how to achieve your goals with small things that are essential, something that i liked of this book is that it tell you phrases that are important for example this phrase that say “If you are having trouble with changing your habits, the problem isn’t you. The problem is your system” this phrase change my point of view of my goals that’s why I liked a lot this book
PW#1 American Football
Approximately 2 or 3 years ago I started playing soccer, I was very nervous because I was a not big fan of American Soccer, so I didn’t even know how to play, but it caught my attention, so I remember that when I trained on the team, they gave me a physical test, so I passed them, and then about a month later we had to train equipped but I had never played like that so when they hit me for the first time it hurt so much that I ended up crying but I didn’t tell anyone and I continued and made very good friends then every time we reached the playoffs We didn’t get past the semi final so before coming to Canada I set out to reach the championship but we lost.
