"Childhood Obesity"
Do you know 18% of children in the US are obese? Childhood obesity has become a serious problem in recent years. It has many bad effects such as joint problems, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and social and psychology problems. Also, it will affect the child’s health in his future. If you have children or you care about them, you have to read this essay because this essay will describe proposed solutions to the problem of childhood obesity. Finally, this essay will propose the best solution and explain its benefits.
Lawmakers in Puerto Rico are considering a law that would fine the parents of obese children. Puerto Rico has 30 percent child hood obesity rate- while the rest of the country averages a rate of about 18 percent. lawmakers will reduce obesity by having school find children who are obese and give them some advice to create a diet and exercise plan. If these things didn’t work in six months, parents have to pay $500. In the next six months, if the child didn’t show any significant weight loss, the parents have to pay $800.
Obesity researchers said a Puerto Rican law is unfair and unbelievable. Nikhil Dhurandhar said that the law assumes that people who are obese can choose not to be, but it’s not that simple. He also said that “there is more to losing weight than eating less and moving more”, because maybe they have diseases such as diabetes, cancer, or something else. Rebecca Puhl is another researcher who thinks this law is unfair. In addition, she said “policies that support parents are much more helpful than policies that penalize them.” This proposal is very unfair and inappropriately punishes parents.
In my opinion, childhood obesity is a serious problem. We all have to face this problem. But I disagree with the way that Puerto Rican government prevented the problem because this way is unfair. Also, they punish parents. According to Puhl the best way to prevent this problem is to support parents by giving them money if their children lost weight instead of penalize them by taking money from them. This way will be more helpful. According to “Dubai Paying Citizens Gold to Lose Weight in Fight Against Obesity” in Daily News by Rheana Murray for every two kilograms lost, the government will pay tow grams of gold for the child who lost the weight. They did this to encourage the children to lose weight.

"Happy"
Are you happy? Do you know what happiness means? Do you know how to have a happy life? Everyone wants to be happy in this life but not everyone knows the ways to be happy. Last week we watched a movie called “Happy” by Roko Belic. It shows happy people from countries all over the world through interview with these people. The main idea of this film is “Happiness is 50% genetic, 10% circumstances and 40% intentional activity.” The genetics of happiness means what the person gets from his parents such as appearance, disease or anything like this. The circumstances of happiness are these things the person got and he/she can’t change these things. The intentional activity is these things the person did in his life or he/she wants to do it his/her choice. In this essay I will talk about happiness and if Susan Spancer-Wendel will agree with the idea that we have or not. Also, I want to talk about myself and what I did in my life and what I want to do in it.
Susan Spancer-Wendel was a journalist and she wrote a book called Until I Say Good-Bye. In this book she talked about her last year living with joy. Susan got ALS. This disease affects the muscle device in the body. Her muscles were dying day by day. She chose to live her last year with joy. I think Susan would agree with the main idea of the film “Happy” especially with the last part of it: “intentional activity.” Her father is Greek and she got her appearance from her father and her mother and this is an example about genetics. Then she was adopted by another Greek family who lived in Florida. It was a high education family. Susan chose many things in her life. She chose her friend Nancy. Nancy was her best friend and she studied with her in the same school and in the same college. Also, she traveled with her to many areas in this world. In addition, she tried to do many things in her last year to live with happiness.
For me, if I know my parents and my brothers are fine and healthy, I will be full of happiness. Anything else like money or material things are not very important. We related our happiness to a person or thing or position which make us proud. If we love anybody, we are pleased to see him. He may be our friend, teacher, student, our pet or any person. There are some examples of the circumstances in my life such as: I was raised by my family. I love my parents. They are looking for my advantage. In addition, I took my appearance from them. There were some circumstances in my life such as we moved to New York and I have to study here. I chose to study her because I think it will be better for me.
In the future, I have to make some changes in my life to make it better and to have a happy life. If my family will stay with me, I will be so happy. I think there will be some keys to my happiness. There are some intentional activities that I will do to have some happiness in my life such as after a couple weeks, I have to choose my major in the college. If I study hard in college, that means I can find work in the future. My major will be the door for my future. In a couple of years, maybe I will meet my partner who will stay with me for the rest of my life. We will plan to our life together.

"Topic #3"
My parents are one of the happiest couples I have seen in my life. They have been married for 20 years and they still have a happy life with our family. They have had some problems in their lives but they faced them together. Pamela Withers said that the best match for the man who has a youngest sister is with the youngest girl who has brother older than her. My father has two sisters younger than him and he knows how to deal with them. In addition, my mother is the youngest in her family and she knows how to deal with someone older than her. For me, I hope that I will find a nice partner to have a happy life such as my parents.

"Friendship"
What is friendship? Does it mean you have your friend in your Facebook list? Or that you see each other every Friday when you play a soccer game? How we can have good friends in this life? A lot of people have friends but not all of them are happy with their friends because they didn’t choose their friends in the right way. In this essay, I will talk about friendship and how we have different kinds of friends for different parts of our life. I will also talk about how we can build a strong friendship.
Friendship is a relationship between two people who have the same interests in life. It is also means that they are close to each other. Most people have a different idea of what friendship really means because some people are instantly trusting of new people and accept them into their heart without question. There is a difference between being friends and acting friendly. Some people might act friendly with someone but not consider them a friend for quite a while. Perhaps these types of people need to get to know someone better before they even consider labeling them as a friend. The real friend is someone who roots for you and wants the best for you, who is sincerely interested when you talk about your life, and who has done something nice for you.
In this life, we meet many friends and we will meet many more in different periods. Life is always changing and we have to deal with it. When we are children, we have some friends in school and they change every year in the school because we meet new friends in every single class. When we finish high school, we go to college and we also meet new friends in different classes. After college we will do the same thing because this is life. For example, when I was in school in my country, I met a lot of friends but the best friends were in the last year of the high school and we are still friends today. After I moved to New York, I made new friends in college and they are my classmates.
There are many steps and stages to achieving a true friendship. However, one can think building a friendship is like planting a garden. For many people, planting a garden represents devotion and leisure. It takes patience to cultivate a garden. Honesty, trust and acceptance are three of the most important things in friendship. If you aren’t honest with your friends, they might not be able to trust you with anything, but if you are honest with them, they might feel so comfortable around you and they will be open with you about their stuff too. In another words, honesty is the most important characteristic of a good friendship.

“Midterm Reflection Essay”
We finished 2 months of this semester and we still have 2 more. The last 2 months were too fast. I enjoyed them a lot with my teacher and my classmates. In this reflection essay, I will describe what I have learned so far this semester, and what I would like to improve in the second half of the semester.
This semester, our class participated in QCC Campus Common Read. It is about the book we read called Until I Say Goodbye: My Last Year Living with Joy by Susan Spanser. The Common Read was great. It has 27 events and we joined more than five of them and they all were very good. The them of this Common Read was “Empathy.” Our book was about the author last year and how she lived her last year after she got an ALS. ALS is a disease that affects the muscles. One of the events that we went to was about a movie called Pay it Forward and I like it so much. It talked a bout how we can help others to make this world better.
In addition to participating in the Common Read, I improved my grammar very well because we took really good grammar topics this semester and I will improve it more and more for the next two months. In the class, the teacher give us a lot of vocabulary and they all were very good but the problem was with me because I didn’t memorize everything until the quiz. In the next half of this semester, I will try to memorize the words from the beginning of it.
The second half of this semester, I would like to improve my skills in writing especially about the CATW because I want to finish CLIP and go to college after summer. I will try to finish this semester even stronger than my beginning. I also will try to memorize many of good words to improve my English.

Interview "Working Mothers"
In the past “in a traditional family,” the man was responsible for all the financial matters and expenses, and the woman for the raising of the children and all the house work. These days, there are a lot of mothers working outside the house, which can affect many people positively or negatively. In this essay, I will talk about how working mothers affect their children life and why mothers are working. I will also talk about my own mother’s experience.
People who are against mothers working claim that when both the mother and the father working all day outside the house, they cannot spend enough time with their children. This can negatively affect their children and they may act with their parents as strangers. On the other hand, the children will learn how to be independent in their life from an early age. In addition, the time that the mother will be at work, her children will be at school. There are a lot of working mothers taking care of their children and they are very close to them. It depends on how the mother can manage her time. Another thing important in parenthood is the quality not the quantity. It’s not about how much time you spend with them, but it’s about how you raise them even if you spend just two hours with them.
There are many reasons why mothers are working. First of all, some mothers are working to get money to have a better life with her family and to help her husband at home requirements and the house will have more disposable income. A second reason is that some mothers go to work to spend some time out because they feel bored when they still at home. Another reason is that if the mothers work, they will have freedom to make choices with their own money. Having the freedom to buy anything without having to ask from the bread winner for money is essential especially for paying the bills and other things.
Last week I interviewed my mother. Many mothers are working in this world and my mother was one of them. My mother worked for 25 years in a bank. She said that it was a hard and beautiful experience for me and for my family. She worked to help my father to give me and my brothers a good life. This experience was helpful for me and for my brothers. It taught us how to be independent because we stayed in home alone for many times.
In conclusion, women who are working mothers are one of the foundations in our society. Most of them are working for their families. Sometimes their work can affect the children who really need their mothers.

CATW #2
According to “Helping College Graduates Find Jobs” by Jean Fitz, there are some problems, which make college graduates unable to find jobs. The article also explained how they could fix these problems. Some colleges started to have some changes in Wisconsin. These changes want college students to be able to get jobs, but there are some problems such as the students who don’t know what is the best major for them. They need someone to give him or her some advice about this thing. Another problem is that colleges sometimes waste money by paying financial aid for students who are in college then they change their majors or don’t graduate. Some community colleges started solving this problem by giving the student some tests about them and then the college gives them the right major for them. I agree with Fitz that college graduates don’t find jobs. Further more, this may lead to problems in the future.
A lot of college graduates don’t find jobs after they graduate from colleges. This idea reminds me of my cousin who finished high school and went to college. He liked computers and technology and he decided to study computer science. But in my country, where my cousin lives, there were many people studying the same major as my cousin was studying. When he finished after four years in college, he didn’t find any job. This is what will happen when someone don’t choose his major correctly.
This is a very real problem that needs a lot of work to fix it. If this problem will not be fixed in a few years, then it will be bigger and we will have a lot of unemployment and layoffs. One way to solve this problem is by opening new jobs for the majors that have a lot of unemployment. Another way is by giving advice for the students who will go to college before choosing the major. These things can reduce the unemployment and give the college graduates some jobs.
In conclusion, we should help the college graduates to have jobs. If we don’t do that we will have real problems in our society.

CATW #3
Do you know what “quality of life” is? Are you just looking for money and material things? Does the country that you live in have an effect on your way of thinking? According to “What is Quality of Life?” by Francisco Orozco, this life is not just about material things and money. There are things more important to know the quality of life. When you know the quality of this life, you will know how to live it with happiness. There are different countries in this world. There are the rich countries and most people in these countries are looking for material things. These people in the rich countries have a lot of new things such as technology and new hospitals with good medical services but the people who have these things have stress and they always thinking about life and how they can get more money. On the other hand, we have the people who live in poor countries. These people are having some difficulties in their life but they are trying to enjoy it in simple ways with their families. I agree with Orozco that some people in different countries are not looking for material goods. We also need to know what we have to do in this life. A few years ago, I was living in a city where everyone thought about material things. My grandfather’s house was in a small village. My grandfather was a farmer and he liked to keep his sons with him like a large family. I was going to his house every weekend. The life in village is different than the life in the city. In the village, everyone knows the other people in the same village. When I was there, I saw most of the people were smiling most of the time. They like to join each other with their celebrations. They know the quality of life and they know how to live it. This life is short; don’t spend it by looking for material goods and money. There are things you can do to make you happy in your life. For instance, your family is one of the best keys to let you know what quality of life is. You can try to enjoy this life by making your family happy in simple ways. In conclusion, this life is not as hard as we think, but we made it hard by our behaviors. Life is simple, but we also need to know how to deal with it.
Do you know what “quality of life” is? Are you just looking for money and material things? Does the country that you live in have an effect on your way of thinking? According to “What is Quality of Life?” by Francisco Orozco, this life is not just about material things and money. There are things more important to know the quality of life. When you know the quality of this life, you will know how to live it with happiness. There are different countries in this world. There are the rich countries and most people in these countries are looking for material things. These people in the rich countries have a lot of new things such as technology and new hospitals with good medical services but the people who have these things have stress and they always thinking about life and how they can get more money.
