The Price of Reading Is Eternal Vigilance (Blog #2)

The reason that got me interested in this passage of “The Price of Reading Is Eternal Vigilance,” was the first paragraph. It opens up with a 53 year old who has just learned how to read. Then, I had no idea what this was really about. I couldn’t even pay attention to the whole reading, it was that boring! It got me interested but then it dragged on and I couldn’t focus. So I decided to read it again. Wouldn’t you know it I got it! Well to me it meant that you create the world that you read.  You can’t just judge a book by its cover. You have to read it and get to understand it, or just give it a chance. I gave this reading a chance and I actually liked what the author was saying. I am not much of a reader, but the books that friends, family or even teachers tell me to read, I give a chance. In the beginning I don’t quite understand or just not really put my mind into the reading, but once I do I make the connection and continue reading. I see the reason teachers make us read a certain book. It has meaning or it has a connection. All you have to do is give it a chance.

An Introduction to Iris Carolina Becerra (Blog #1)

Hello! My name is Iris Carolina Becerra. This is my second year here at Lane Community College. I am studying to become a registered nurse. Here is a little background about me.I am 20 years old. I was born in Eugene, but I have lived in Cottage Grove for my entire life! I live with my parents and my two older brother (yes, I am the baby in the family). Also, I am the first in my family to go to college. Some of my likes: I like to read, listen to music, play on my iPad mini, watch t.v.,and play around with my cute guinea pigs Roxy and Peaches! Some of my dislikes: I hate writers block, how I space out when I'm trying to pay attention, procrastination, interruptions, and when that one person just doesn't stop talking. Looking forward to this whole blogging experience. Never done it before and I am really excited!
