Memorable Meal: My Everyday Food
Well, normally I don't have breakfast because I don't have the time, I always get up late and I have to be ready in time or my dad leaves and I get late to school. Sometimes I eat a snack in the car or in the first hour at school, like a grannola bar or something. I eat lunch at recess and normally I buy either in the cafeteria or at Liz's little improvised place, and some other times I bring my own food from my home, food my mommy made specially for me, with love I like to think. After school, when I get to my house, I eat some kind of soup like an entry and then as, I don't know, the principal dish, I have some chicken or meat with salad or rice, or nice typical mexican food. Most of the time I eat at my grandma's place and she likes to cook chilaquiles for me, and she makes some awesomely not gross eggs, not the scrambled ones, the other ones, I don't remember the name. She cooks like a real grandma, I love her food.
There are sometimes when my mom doesn't feel like cooking and those are the times when I have real awesome food because we order food, the typical ones like pizza, tacos, italian or chinese. After my meal I usually feel so full that I don't have dinner but when that's not the case, if my mom doesn't want to cook for me and I don't want to cook for me, I have a bowl of cereal with very little milk (because I hate milk, tastes like crap to me), some bread or just fruit.
I like to eat snacks between foods because I'm always hungry, and I eat chips or candies, and if I'm not feeling lazy, I even prepare some sliced chilli covered fruits, but just for me. Sorry, I'm not being selfish, I'm just feeling hungry.

Just some about how I got my PhD.
I've been alive for almost 18 years and since I remember I've been in the freaking school. I think my memory began to work when I got in school. My education started at home like every other human being with a family but "profesionally" started at the "Estancia Infantil Acapulco" or something like that, a kind of kindergarten in Caleta where I studied my very first grade and the second one of preschool. I really liked it there because we were just a few kids per classroom, like 12 or something. I remember my teacher, Miss Lupita, she was very kind and warm. I also loved the fact that they had ballet classes and I was in love with my tutu and my ballerina slippers.
I don't really know why but my parents got me out of there and enrolled me in Colegio América for the last year of preschool. Teacher were great and the place was lovely. I was one of the first ones to learn how to read and I really liked that they taught us some English. I studied there for 8 years 'til first grade of Junior High School.
Elementary school was great, except for some bitter teachers and annoying classmates but you will almost find that everywhere. I began to be a good student, responsible and dedicated in Colegio Amércia because they encouraged the students to always be the best. But when I got to junior high school I realized that it was absolutely different from elementary school, a whole different world. The service (because I was a costumer) wasn't as good as in elementary school. I did learned a lot of things but it was way too easy to be an A+ student there so it lost credibility so my parents decided I needed a new school, a better one and challenger. And like my mom's brothers studied in La Salle and they always talk marvelous things about it, she decided it would be a good school for me...
...and that's how I began hating school. It was way too freaking hard! A lot of homework, a lot of students per classroom, in just a few words: HELL (a catholic one though). I really had an awful time trying to adapt but I think I kinda did it, I mean, it's a good school, a quality one but sometimes it's just too much. Then I started High school, not so much different from junior high school, just a lot more students, some new asignatures, different teachers, etc. I have to admit that High school have been easier than junior high school, I have felt more relaxed (kinda) but with his usual challenges, but I do get better grades!. I still hate school, especially on mornings (those effin' mornings!) but now that the finish line it's so close I can almost taste it.
I think my education has been a good inversion of money, time, effort and lots of tears, sweat and blood (more tears than anything). Well, kinda.

Phil Anthropy
To talk about philanthropy is to talk about that great action of helping someone who really needs it without expecting something back, to help just for the love of doing it and for the satisfaction that you feel when someone says "thank you" and they really mean it, to see how happy they are when you help them.
Philanthropists can contribute to so many causes, from saving the planet making people aware about global warming, like former vicepresident Al Gore, to raise money to build hospitals and new homes for earthquake victims in Haiti, and you named it, where there's a problem there are people trying to help.
Philanthropy may be the biggest gesture of love from one being to another because it shows solidarity, support and being one hell of a good person. Philantropy's good sides may be that personal reward you feel when you help someone in need, to put some of you to build a better and more loving community, and hey, why not a better world?
I can not see a disadvantage for philanthropy, even if some companies or people do it just for evading taxes, who cares? They do raise awareness among people and I think they do give some part of the fundraised to the real cause.
So, philanthropy is love to others translated in good actions, and if you want to be one, you don't really need to have a lot of money, just the intention to help and actually do it, so come on, what are you waiting fot to change your world?
