Mr.Tristan: Man of words and goal.
He is a very religious person and has true faith in Cristianity and Jesus Christ(A.S) and he very fasinated about the languages as he knows latin english also. And also he is very sympathaic person as he fells how I will be missing my family, friends and country.Overall I find Mr.Tristan to be very enthusiastic, straight focused and religious man of words.
Shift Happens
Some perspective about...Liz
The other side that it is hard to believe it exists in her is the one that cares about others. She is a good listener and opens up to give the most sincere advices of all. When you have trouble or need something you don’t know, Liz is there to help, weather it means teasing you or really helping, there is always something she could do for you. And least but not last, family is something as important as breathing. Her heritage will always be there as a reminder of the struggles her ancestors went through to accomplish what they have at the moment. Having said something about this character, I hope that you consider adding her as a friend in myspace, it will compensate later on…or not (just run away as fast as you can!).

"My Space" cartoon

This cartoon is courtesy of Adam, who found it gracing the back cover page of a recent Reader's Digest. Notice all of the pieces of technology she is surrounded by. Because we are constantly barraged by various stimuli, people these days are able to multi-task like never before. Does this look like you?
Interview with Janice
Janice is also a very hard working student. A full time student, this semester she is taking five courses. She likes to take all her classes Monday through Thursday, and just have the whole Friday off. Janice wants to major in buisness and she is working hard for it. She does not waste her time during the weekends but spends her time doing her school work. Janice is caring and is devoted to her school work.
~~~About Amy~~~
Pamela
On the second day of class, it was brought to my attention that Pamela had recently moved to New York from Colombia. This sparked immediate conversation because I am also Colombia. She told me that she had been in New York for a little over nine months and that she moved here with her mother. Pamela lives in Astoria and has to take two trains to get to school everyday even though she doesn’t like to take the train.
When she is not in school, Pamela works at Queens Center mall so it is easy to imagine that her schedule is always very busy. For example, since she only has English class on Mondays, she goes straight from class to the mall to make it in time for her shift at 2pm and that ends at 9:30pm. She is obviously a very disciplined and motivated young woman.
Heather Ferreira
She goes to Queens College and her major is biology. She is senior. She is a full time student and is taken about seventeen credits. This semester she is taken classes related with her major as anthropology, chemistry and biology but she is also taking dance class because it is not only one laser requirements, dance and rhythmic gymnastic are some of her favorite hobbies. Also she really likes to read especially about new medical researches.
Besides all the time she spends at college and all the time she has to take to do all her assignments she has time to work. She works in a doctor’s office for the pediatricians. Tree days a week Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. That job is perfect for her because she is next to the doctors and she can learn some things about her mayor, and it is only during week days. So she has all the weekend to rest and finish her college assignments.

Interview with Adam
Also Adam is gentle-hearted and patient, he wrote down his cell phone number and told me to call him when I was online if the time was good for me, and I also could call him if I need any help with my essay.
And when we talked each other on the IM, he use a lot some short words such as "ttys"; even though, that was a little bit hard to me because English is my second language, Adam would explain those patiently, so I appreciate that. In the fact, the IM is totally new to me, normally I use MSN messenger everyday, so I responsed him a bit slow sometimes, but he taught me how use the IM and gave some advices to change my screen name. Anyway, he is a polite and gentle- hearted boy and with his sweet nature.
Interview with Zhen
Zhen Li, a student at
Zhen also likes relaxing on the computer, talking to her friends. But, because of her busy schedule, it may take some time to get her attention. Be persistent, though, and eventually she will make time for you. She is also polite, asking me, the lowly interviewer, how I am doing, and inquired as to my wellbeing.
Although Zhen is creative, as noted before, she may not be all that technically savvy. She does not know her to change her screen name, which seems to be pretty basic. She is honest and open, though, easily admitting her problems. All in all, Zhen is a great girl, and don’t miss her 30 minute segment on the E! channel tonight.
