Sincere

      do you know the meaning of sincere?

sincere means always be honest with yourself and to the others. Pretty much by always telling the truth.

I have been around so many people dishonest that I think the don't really know the meaning of the word sincere. well I guess that's life. the way I was raised was always tell the true no matter what;s the problems and even the consequences it will brings to my life. lately, I have been having misunderstanding with my co-worker, and I have noticed the change of the attitude toward me.I wish she could be sincere with me and tell me whats the problem. however, I already know was her issued. its is that my manager gave me a raise,and I got promoted in the office. Im still the same to all my co workers nothing had change at the office.Next time if i see her mumbling in the back of the office. I will gave her a long speech of how to be sincere with people. It might help her to become a sincere person and everything at the office could change back to normal.

Scam

sometimes I wish I could go online without having any those pop up pages coming on my computer screen. Its like I don't feel safe turn on my computer anymore.To begin with, I heard my friend's mother got her identity stolen last year. apparently she was checking her bank account online, and a spam page pop out on her computer. she decided to click on it give her personal information , so her credit card account was unauthorized charged for $ 1000.00.Also, most of the time when I am online.The spam e-mails are always on ten way when it is time to check my personal e-mails. There are always pornography  sites popping out. I really don't like it. Especially when I got my daughter by my side.I really don't feel safe anymore surfing the Internet.

                                                                      My college courses


      My name is Sheida Alava , and I have been study EAP courses at Valencia College for almost two years. I started from level 4. It was very excited for me to be in college after 8 years later from graduated from high school. In my first semester in college, I enrolled in grammar class and I learned
to combined verbs in sentences. In my second semester in college, I enrolled in speech and reading with a great professor. I was kind of scared because I did not know how to begun to talk in from of the class without being nervous .Also, in my reading class, I was kind of nervous to start to reading a loud in class. I thought the other students in the class were going to make laugh about the way I read and my accent when I read in English.Then, in my third semester in college, I enrolled in my first writing class with a nice professor. In my writing class ,I learned to how to do a paragraph on my own.I learned to use the transition words correctly when a write a paragraph and always to indent at the beginning of the paragraph. Next, in 2012 for spring, I decided to go full time student and took all the level 5 in one semester. I was still very nervous but a the same time very happy because I was in the next level of my EAP courses. Even tough, I already took my speech course in level 4 I was still very nervous when I gave my first speech in level 5. Then, in my 1560 Writing class, it was very challenged for me because I only knew how to do paragraph, but I learned to start doing small essay.
it helped me to improve my writing skill in some ways. Finally, in fall 2012, I enrolled in EAP level 6 courses.In these writing class, I'm very sure that I will learn how to do a perfect essay and pass the course to move on to the next college courses in Valencia college.
