Doing something

I have been away of this blog more more than too months, but here is a little update:
As a member of my community, I am trying to help the community to write environmental and social projects.
Sometimes I feel sad because I don't see the friends I met in Oregon, but the good thing is that I am having fun when working in different tasks.
I visited many places in my country because I didn´t have that opportunity before. Now I know more my country and I can tell you many of the beautiful areas we have.


Someday, I will post beautiful pictures of me and the place I live.

Back in El Salvador

I came to El Salvador and I am feeling a little bit different because I see many differences in my community, people, and different things.

I didn’t think about the weather, something that was a really surprise for me. I was thinking to have a little weather, but when I got outside the airport I started feeling a really hot weather.

Of course, there are more important things in my country. For example there was my family waiting for this little person and after finished my journey at the airport, we went to eat pupusas to a pupusas’ restaurant. This activity was so good because I had the opportunity to eat my favorite food from my country.

I am sharing my country with people from here. So I don’t know the future surprises for my life. The only thing I want to say is that I am not really happy because I really missed Oregon and the people there; I cry some times when I remember everything I did with my friends and Host families.

Something very sad was that my community is polluted with a lot of garbage, something that was different before I went to USA. Also, my grandfather was in the hospital and my sister in law was really sick because of appendicitis.

I will be doing my best to be happy and have good experiences in my country.

Almost Home!

I am moving back to my country tomorrow. I feel excited, but at the same time I feel a little sad because I will miss a lot of friend I met here.

During this last days after my graduation I have been doing crazy things with my friends. I had dinners, little parties, visited some places, and more. My time is really short and every single minute means less time with my friend here in USA.

Today I have a going away party, So I will post pictures about it.

Also, I want to let you know that the title of this blog will change because I won't have adventures here. Expect some changes.

My Graduation

June 13, 2009

Yesterday was one of mt wonderful days in USA because I was graduating after almost two years of studying here. I was happy because yesterday was the day where I showed other people what I got after my work in Mt. Hood community College.

What a great experience living and studying in a different country and learning different cultures.

I had a lot of fun during this time because most of my supporters were there to say "Good job Jose", something that made feel really good. Also, first year students weere there to support us and show how proud of us they are.

Now I feel different because I passed all my classes and showed people from this country that even though English is not my first language, I did my best effort and gained all the necessary knowledge to work in my native country.

I am going back to may country on June 18 and I would like to say thanks to all of those people who worked to make my life successful here in USA. Those people are David Sussman and Nikki Gillis(CASS Coordinators), Sincic Family (My Host Family), Lewis Family (My other Host Family), Mauricio and Adelina (My Salvadorian Friends, Jose Molina and Rebequita (My Salvadorian and Mexican friends), Smith family (My first host family), My classmates, the new students, and some other friends who believed in my skills and personality.

My last days

June 12, 2009
I haven't written a lot in my blog because I had many things to do before I go home. But here is a little update:

During Spring term:

I had classes about technical writing, field projects, ecotourism, education, and programming. I think the most challenging class was writing because I was learning more English and trying to put more technical staff in my essays or reports. The good think is that I had Field Projects Class, which is the class where I show all of my knowledge I learned during the past two years.

During spring term I had the opportunity to meet wonderful people who supported me in many ways. Also, I can say I had the support of Lewis Family who always were there to ask me if I need something.

My classmates and I have may activities such as having going away parties, visiting Multnomah Falls, doing crazy things in the college, and others that characterize us.

Today is my graduation, so I will posting pictures about it in a couple of days.

Some pictures of me and friends,
