Tutoring & well being: Homework 1

"My academic and personal history"

I started my studies in a school named IODI, my parents chose it because for them it was the best option. It was near my house and it has a great level of education. What I liked most about it was that it was bilingual, all the english that I know now I learned it there. What I didn't like about the school was that it was very small, and I was always with the same people. 

I started going to school at a very young age, I was 1 year old when my mother took me to pre kindergarten. She says that I didn't try. I will always remember that stage of my life as a very fun and relaxing time. I didn't had any difficulty learning to read or to write. I didn't had any conduct report. I have always love going to school and participate on it´s events. On recess I used to play with my friends, usually only girls. The best memories that I have of school are the ones of me on art class, it was my favorite class of all.

My favorite is called Maritza, she teach  me spanish from 6th grade till 9th grade. I always consider her more than a teacher. My social life was not great I don't think that I had friends, I think that I only talk with my classmates because I had to.

I choose to study on Prepa Tec because it is the best school in the town. The easiest part for me was to adapt to the teaching methods and to my classmates. The most difficult was to learn to manage my time. I love to study here. My test results were great, even though I didn't study a lot for it. On my first semester the most difficult topic was Biology, the easiest one was creative thinking. I love my classmates I get along with them really well. 

I do practice extracurricular activities. I go to ballet, jazz, musical theatre and robotics club. I love having things to do and my agenda full. I attend to  my classes regularly, I take them as serious as school.

My parents think school is most important thing in my life right now. The best experience of my life was traveling through Europe during a month. It was life changing and enriching .

Painting Analysis

Las Meninas


This painting is calles "Las Meninas" and it was painted by Diego Velazquez. I think that it is a very enigmatic and profound painting. Everyoone can watch it from a different perspective and point of view, I think that is why it is special. What I see in the painting is the kings patiently waiting to be painted and the monarchs mirrored i  their eyes. Velazquez shows us the world a monarch sees. The meninas are the maids that take care of the little girl in the painting. The little girl looks nervously at themwhile two court dwarfs  and a dog are on one hand to provide entertainment. One dwarf kikcs the dog.
