English 3, Post 4, 'Tell us about a photo (or image) that is meaningful to you'

 

I chose this photo because appears by the “Linkin Park” vocalist, Chester Bennington. This is my favourite rock/ nu-metal band and brings me back fond memories of the high school, as the first song that I heard was “In the end” in the year 2010 and this showed me, my boyfriend. I loved Chester’s voice and the mix with the Mike Shinoda raps, he is the second vocalist. I remember those summer afternoons in that I walked home for sunset.

This picture is important to me as it was the last photo he appears in, and it was taken days before he decided to commit suicide in 2017. His wife took this photo and posted it on Twitter along with a note: “This was days before my husband took his own life. Suicidal thoughts were there, but you did it. You never know”.

The day of his death was July 20, this day was the birthday of his friend Chris Cornell, who had also committed suicide two months earlier (May). The photo was highly commented and it can be seen that "depression has no face or form".

English 3, Post 3, 'My favourite piece of technology'

 My favorite piece of technology is the “Nintendo Switch". This is the best video game console, a console handheld-home hybrid. I can play the games of NES, SNES, and Switch. I like the game “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate”, this is a game of fighting with too many unlockable characters.

I play when I have leisure time. For to play Smash Bros use “analog joysticks”, with this, for example, must be pressed the “X” button to jump, a combination of “B” and “A” buttons for the fighting, and the button "L" as a shield.

I play video games on the Nintendo Switch as a prize, after exam season. This relaxes me!

I recommended it completely, play fighting video games on the console Nintendo Switch helps de-stress.

English 3, Post 2, 'Why did I choose my major (study program)?'

 When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a doctor and visiting the patient with my briefcase, and attending without charging money. I when was little, a Christmas, my grandmother gave me a plastic toy doctor kit… I LOVED IT!

In terms of a university, in the year 2013, I studied another career: “Biotechnology Engineering” at the UTEM. My experience in this was very good, I did chemical lessons, I worked for the university, I had good friends, and I learned too much, in special about the molecular area and laboratory. I graduate in biotechnology, but I did not degree, because this was not what I wanted, since always I liked the health area. I worked in different laboratories, but this bored me.

After a vocational crisis, I decided to study again, but a career that I liked in the health area. I applied to the University in “Chemical and Pharmacy” and I was selected by the special admission for graduates (my time spent was not wasted).

Well, my experience at the university has been good, I like to learn, study, and know about the areas of the chemical pharmacy. Only I need to meet new people and make new friends.
