My favorite place Kristy

A favorite place is usually a place where people find happiness and peace. My favorite place is Morocco. It’s a place where my parents and I were born. Morocco is a beautiful country that lies in the Atlantic Ocean and has a mild weather never too hot or too cold.
In Morocco, I have a lot of memories that I cherish a lot. Some of my favorite things that I used to do are spending the whole summer at the beach where I played tennis and swam with my family. Furthermore, the environment is always warm, and the food is tasty especially the couscous.
There are many dialects spoken in Morocco, but the most dominant languages are the standard Arabic and Berber. At school the standard Arabic and the French are the first languages that the students will learn then they will learn at least one of the other foreign language such as Spanish or English.
The architecture in Morocco is very fascinating because it is a combination of the ancient architecture and modern.For instance, Moroccans use the Islamic calligraphy, colors, and pattern to decorate the new buildings and the big palace. In addition, they use the African architecture. Tourists are very attracted to Morocco because they like to see its nice monuments such as Bahia Palace in Marrakech.
In the conclusion, Morocco is a nice country that will make you interested in visiting its monument and enjoy its warm weather and the kindness of people. In addition , the food is very tasty and juicy.

Beer ads #4 pg 90 Rosemary

I think beer ads should be outlawed on television and in college newspapers because these ads are manipulating us and giving a false message to young people that are still looking to find their identity and are trying to fit in. alcohol is a substance that inhibits the brain function. Thus, the people who drink lose control and make bad decision. For example drink drivers are dangerous for themselves and others.

Brainstorm kristy

My problem is directions. And till now I do not drive in high ways or go to very far places that I do not know. Thus, every time I need to go somewhere unfamiliar to me; I will ask my husband to take me. I think I rely a lot on my husband and the only thing I can do to overcome this obstacle is to use a map of a GPS (the electronic device that you can hook to your car and can give you directions)and start practicing finding my way around without any help.

College Advantage

It is very hard to make a choice about which college is the right one to enroll to, and have a good education experience. I believe that Henry Ford Community college is the right choice to pursue a college degree, and to maximize your learning experience. It’s affordable, safe, and diverse.

At Henry Ford Community college the tuitions are reasonable. The classes’ schedules are very flexible. And if you are working during the day you can take night classes or weekend classes. It has a day care where you can leave your kids while you are taking classes. Also there are many on line classes that you can chose from if you do not want to attend on campus classes.

Further more. This college is very safe. Security guards are in the building and in the park in lot all time to ensure the security of all staff and students. It has a system alert that will inform the students about the inclement weather and when the college is closed. There is no violence at this college.

In addition to this, it is very diverse. Students come from all different countries. Staffs have different background and are very knowledgeable in the subject they are teaching. Thus, nobody feels a stranger at Henry Ford Community College. Everybody is welcome no matter where he or she came from.

Knight Watch

Night watch
I t is a great feeling when you help someone in need. I experienced that awesome feeling when I came to United State of America and helped my sister. I did house work for her and baby site her two years old son because she was eight month pregnant and she could take care of her family. I was very happy that I came at the right time. In addition, I was there for her also when she needed me during the most critical time of her life which is her divorce. I supported her with my comforting words and my money. I even babysit her kids to allow her to go to college and have a degree. I was thrilled to see her come over her divorce and start a new life with her two kids.
