Big Change Of Life

By: Ace Zheng

      This is a story about Eduardo. Eduardo is very tall and he is a very handsome boy. And he is very nice to every people. When I just came here, I do not know everybody but he was nice to me and friendly to me. He tells me his name is Eduardo then I have a first foreign friend. I am very happy. So I decide to interview to him about how does he think about Mexico and San Francisco and a little about his life.

       Eduardo is from Mexico and he is 17 years old. But now he is live in San Francisco and he comes to San Francisco because his father is here and also because he wants to see him again. He have long time that they did not see each other but when he decide to came to S.F he feel very scared because he did not know everything about S.F and also he feels that it was a hard decision because he did not want to leave his mother, family and friends but he decide to come. And know he is in San Francisco International High School ready to go to college.

      Then he tells me this is very different feel about Mexico and San Francisco. He feels about San Francisco is scared and Mexico is excited. It is very different place to him.

       He says he feel excited with Mexico because he born in Mexico and he grow up in there too. He life his children with his family and friends and also because everything he learned there is helping him here to be a better person on his life.

       But he says he feels scared about San Francisco because here he can not go free everything that he want and also because there are a lot of people who are goo ester that can do bad things to him. It is a very different place between Mexico and San Francisco.

        Also he thinks that two place have a little different expert feel. He says the different that he thinks is that here is very dangerous and a lot of racism here, but on Mexico all the people is very friendly and they always help each other.

        He has a hard life in Mexico because he did not hard everything and also because he did not have opportunities to school, found a job, or have a better life and other reuse that he had was that he always had to work if he want to go to school. I think he has more experiment about the life. And I think he learn a lot during he live in Mexico. But he learned was so bad because he did not go to school every day because he have to work and also because the teacher did not care if you want to study or not just they care about the government pay them for teach.

       But now he tells me, in here he study is better than in Mexico because he did not go to school every day because he has to work and also because the teacher did not care if you want to study or not just they care about the government pay them for teach. So I think it is a big change for his life.

       And he has a different job between Mexico and San Francisco.  In Mexico he is a farmer but in San Francisco he is a cook. Now he is very good at cooking and also he can make many delicious foods. And more and more people like to eat what is he cook. He always has a job because he needs to make more. Then he left a little for himself, other money he will give to his family. So I think he is a good boy for his family. And sometimes I see him talk with teacher; I think he is a very good student in school. Many teachers like him.

She felt a little lonely and worried to leave her family for another country and she worried about her son. The first thing she did was to visit around the U.S and to know about the America’s culture she saw los Angeles, New York and Los Vegas. She felt in love with America. She thinks that in here is more freedom than china also for my future she immigrated to America. Her first job in America was for an Investment Company. She was a manager and this job just like what she did, because it was similar to her work in china. She worked in this company for 5 years. Every one liked her, she meet a lot of friends and her English began to get much better than before. However the reason why she quit this job was because the boss fraud with his customers and made lot of dirty money. My mom argued with the boss a lot and their relationship became bad. Finally she quit this job and many other staff members quit too. Soon this company collapsed.

                         One day, one of my moms’ friends introduced her to cleaning companies. She said this job is job is much easier than the job you had before. Also if your son comes here you will have more time to take care of him and not work all the time. she thought it was a good idea so she went to the job interview of boss of this cleaning company. He was a very nice guy he knew that my mom could do the job didn’t cleaning the office. It was an easy job and more wages. She very liked this job a lot because she didn’t need to work all of the time.

             Four years passed, I came to the U.S to study here. Mom care very much about me and helped me with homework and taught me to be a good person. I feel lucky that she is my mom. After one year she lost her job because this company had some problems needed to layoff some workers. My mom was one of them but now finding another part time job is not as easy as before. She needed to do two jobs for fewer wage and work more time. She even didn’t have enough money to pay the rent because she bought a lot for me and made sure I ate healthy. Our life became much harder. Tow years passed the government’s housing her applied for was successful. So we moved back to S.F. Now our life is getting better than before because the government’s house is very cheap. She had a lot of time to enjoy her life, I am working now to help support her and to get my own money to pay the rent. Her wish is to go back to living with her family in China because she misses home very badly.         

Communication Legend of Michael

  By: Chongwei Huang

            Mr. Michael is a popular teacher in our school with good communication. In class, Mr. Michael will use the over head projector to help students understand art concepts even thought they don't understand the English, but they can understand and learn in the picture. In his daily life, Mr. Michael also has very good communication skills when he communicates with a person who doesn’t speak English; he is able to communicate with hand gestures and facial movements. For example, if he shakes your hand, the communication means “nice to meet you”.

Mr. Michael thinks communication is not just talk talking because sometimes he communicates without talking. For example, his pets, he know about his dogs feelings through his actions ;the other example is Art, Artists communicate ideas, emotions, feelings and expression through their Art. So that, Mr. Michael defines communication as basically any form of action or image that expresses meaning. When he is driving the sign in the road and traffic light will get him directions, which also is communication.

In his opinion, communication is important as a teacher because it is his job to understand his students and give them an opportunity to express themselves. For example in art class, Mr. Michael is showing students the concepts of perspective about art to help students create depth and space in their artwork.

Communication is necessary to cheer people up; Mr. Michael always does this in three ways. First is listening, students want to talk about their feelings and good listeners will help them figure out the solution, it will help them feel better. Second, give students a space to work it off until their head is clear. Students might need time to just think alone. Lastly is hug or humor, Mr. Michael thinks some students might need a hug, a pat on the back or hand shakes. Others might like to hear something funny or humorous to cheer them up.

            Mr. Michael is most successful when he communicates with a person the ideas, thoughts and feelings that he is knowledgeable about. However, no people can be perfect. For Mr. Michael, it is hard to communicate with a person who makes him nervous. Especially, people in authority like police, bosses or even principals. Sometimes he finds it more difficult to communicate meaning with hand gestures or facial expressions.

            Based on Mr. Michael’s experience, the best way he communicates is through body language and facial expression. He always smiles and makes eye contact when people are talking, so that he will easier understand your subject and be confident. This way means be respectful with others, Mr. Michael wants to teach us about that. And he loves to communicate ideas that he is passionate about.

            Mr. Michael is a teacher who very interesting in learning and improving. He thinks practice is very important to improve communication but it is hard. Also, Mr. Michael is going to challenge himself because he is worried about speaking at two large conferences. Finally, I hope Mr. Michael can do well in this conference and I thank him a lot for sharing his story.
