Que harias tu si por la noche viene alguien, se lleva a tus hijos y los obliga a matar y a mutilar a otros, peor aun si se lleva tus hijas y las utiliza como objetos sexuales? Esto es lo que esta pasando desde hace 26 años en Africa gracias JOSEPH KONY.

Days like today are the ones that make me think about who i really am. Am i the person I want to be? or the one that everyone else wants me to be? Maybe I´m both; maybe I´m none. Don´t know which one I am. All i know is that am sick & tired of putting a mask everyday and pretending everything is fine when IT´S NOT!!!! It´s frustrating and takes away a lot of energy.
I don´t really know what I want to do in my life. Right now I´m finishing my second-year at Med-School which makes me really happy but sad at the same time. Why? because I don´t think I like Medicine that much. I think I like arts more. Don´t know what to do my granpa is really excited about me being a doctor like him so I don´t want to quit and let him down. But on the other hand I don´t think Med-School is really for me. I feel like i don´t fit in there. I feel so lonely sometimes, even when I´m surrounded by tons of people. I can hear them talking all around me, but it´s like no one´s really with me at that moment; and that feels horrible.
I don´t wish to quit because I don´t want to give my future children the possibility to argue back saying that "if I was a quiter then they can be quiters too". That would break my heart. So that´s another reason why I don´t want to quit. I would try to keep my head held high and continue my journey through Med-School and when I´m done with that, I´ll study what I love: art.

Parenting in the 21st century
I WANT independence and my own car so i can drive myself to the parties. I hate that the few times i ask my parents for permission and for a ride they say no. What do they want from ME? Forcing me to mature at a very young age in order to do THEIR job wasn't enough? What else do they want? I have had good grades since preschool; never really ask them for permission to parties unless they were from really close friends, which are few.
So, I ask you people: "What is the secret to get their approval, their permission? How come there are many young adults that are forced to live like they're little children, always looking for a tiny bit of freedom that they'll never get. Why have we become so dependent of our parents? In the past generations, people our age were independent, married and working to create the big happy family that they dreamed of. Nowadays you see our generation partying, drinking, and getting married, but not because they want to, but because they have to. That's the reason why the divorce rate has increased. They get married because they got pregnant and they are told that’s the right thing to do, but a month later they realize that they don't love each other, or that it’s too much for them.
Parents are not preparing their children for life; they aren’t teaching them what’s out there in the world. And why is that; because they spend most of their time working to make money. Money for what I ask? Do they think money can buy happiness, because if it does then many people I know, have taught me wrong. If money could buy happiness we wouldn’t see so many rich kids, bullying at schools, breaking the law in order to get a little bit of attention from their parents. Because that’s all they want: “the attention that they never got from their parents when they were little”. Most parents may justify themselves by saying that they were working to give their families a better life. But that’s no excuse!! They should have been there for them at least in their first twelve years that is when they acquire their way of thinking and when they learn the value of life. Where were their parents when they needed to talk to them: possibly, at work. Who would have imagined that we would have to make an appointment to see our parents, because they only had time for their work? How far has this gone? And how far will it keep going?

Depressed and Anxious
Some days when I wake up I just feel like there's something wrong or missing in my life, but I can't figure out what it is. This makes me sad and anxious. Unconsciously I started eating every time I felt this way. When I noticed the extra pounds that I was gaining, I changed from sweets, to vegetables and fruits. But I continued eating, even if I wasn’t hungry. I tried to diminish the food I ate. I ended biting my nails instead, to replace what I wasn’t having. It was more like a necessity to have something in my mouth, than to really needing the food. I remember that when I was in high school I used to chew the top of my pens, because I couldn’t eat in class. I destroyed so many pens, and I still do. This year I began chewing gum to stop me from eating my nails or pens, but it is “impossible”.
Now that I’m a little bit older, I started to realize that my anxiety was caused by the constant fighting of my parents in front of me and the many threats of my mother of getting a divorce. Luckily they continue together, but they keep fighting, although they do it with less frequency. They always fight over money not being enough for paying the school for my sisters, and my college career (Med-School is not cheap. Even though I got like a discount, it continues to be expensive), and also over them not being able to be at home to help my sisters with their homework. That’s where the other reason for me being depressed and anxious comes from.
They’re pressuring me to come back early from class to be here with my sisters. And I’m always telling them that that’s not my problem those aren’t my kids, and that I don’t have time. Med-School requires a lot of time and commitment. And also my sisters have learned a lot of my parents. They’re constantly fighting and yelling at each other which gets annoying within a few minutes. The worst part is that my parents spoiled them, and they won’t listen to anyone, not even to my parents. So whenever I try to tell them to stop yelling and fighting, they’ll just ignore me. (“THAT’S A VERY GOOD REASON FOR NOT WANTING TO HAVE KIDS”)
Another reason is their constant disappointment at everything that I have ever done. Nothing is good enough for them. I was the best student of my high school, and just because I had 1 B they were like I’ve never had a B in my life I was straight A’s. And I just hate that they’re comparing me. “I am me, I’m not them” what part of it they don’t get?
That stuff created in my mind a negative thinking about me. Now everything I do is never enough for me. And that makes me feel even worse.
I was considering changing my career because my real passions are music and acting. But here in Ecuador acting and music sucks. Since I lost my visa I can’t go to the U.S.A. and study, which was kind of my goal. Also I feel like I will disappoint my grandfather if I drop out of med-school, because I’m the first in the family to study the same that he did. None of his 6 children studied medicine and when I told him that I wanted to study medicine he felt really excited and proud of me and that made me feel great. Now that I’ve finished my first year of med-school I realize that I like music and acting much more than medicine and I was thinking of dropping out but every time I’m going to do it I remember my grandpa and back out. I’ve always been his favorite grandchild so I don’t want to disappoint him. So I was considering finishing med-school and then study arts. That probably be in about 10 years, but I still have plenty of time, since I’m only 19.
PS: Sorry for writing this much I just let it all out without even noticing how much I was writing. Thanks for your patience.

Essay
Healthiness and happiness are very difficult things to obtain. In order to have them both you must do very specific things in your life. One of them is eating healthy food. This means to stop esting junk food just because you are so lazy to cook your own food. The other one is to stop believing in what other people say about money being the key to happiness, because it is not only a big lie but also is completely wrong. Even though money can get you all kinds of things like cars, vacations, etc., it will never buy you the things that really matter like friends, family and emotional stability.
Some people say that exercising and having time to relax are good ways to maintain a certain balance in your life, and they are completely right. Exercising will keep you in good shape anf¡d that will make you feel happy about yourself. Relaxing will help you eliminate stress from your body and willl keep you in an emotional stability. But not all the ways of relaxing will help you. If you think that drinking a glass of wine will help you relax, you´re completely wrong. It will help you at first, but you´ll start with one glass, then with two, three, untill you end up drinking the whole bottle. Eventually this will transform into a bad habit, leading you to alcoholism, because you won´t be able to relax without drinking.
