"Super Tuesday", Florin Tech Style sticky icon

(More photos of "Super Tuesday" are in our photo gallery.

Tuesday could have been called "Super Tuesday" for Florin Tech's M-1 and M-2 students. It began with Mrs. Colmenares, an experienced pinata maker, teaching the students how to make pinatas. First, the students shredded newspaper. Then they coated newspaper with glue made from flour and water. After covering balloons with home  ade glue-coated nwspaper, they added rope handles and then set the pinatas out to dry.

At 9:50, the pinata makers  started walking down  24th Street to the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Library. After the librarian explained some of the library's services and materials, as well as her own experience as an immigrant from Taiwan, the students were given their own cards  and told to check out two items.

My father was born is Syria in  1905 and came to Brazil at a very young age. My  mother was born in Brazil  1913.They got married in 1939, and my father was already out  of Medicical School. he was  general practitioner ,  he was very devoted to his clients and provided  medical care to the poor .We lived in a huge home, and I remeber havng lines of woman and men, to walking in and be checked by my father...My grand fathers from both sides were very hard workers and very much into giving a good education to the whole .

My parents raised 6 children and we all went ot Collge.All my bortghers are doctors , but myself asnd nmy sister.I am a civil engeneer and my sister is a psychologist!

A LITTLE TO MY LIFE

 

I WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE ABOUT MY LIFE

 

My name is Ahide,I was born in Mexico, I am from Guanajuato state, is beautiful and magical state. I want to share a little about my life. Today  exactly,  I come to USA  three months ago, I  am here, because I want to practice English  and learn more, I think tah every day you can learn something new your teachers, school, classmates, etc. When I studied the University in Mexico I didn’t can go other country for learn English very well, because didn’t a lot of money, and my parents tried very hard for I finished my Career of Administration. When I finished my Career, five years ago, I have worked in my country very hard and save money for to come to USA and to go Adult School, that was a difficult decision because I  left very far my job, my parents, my boyfriend, my friends, but all they told me: "Ahide: Is a hard but good sacrifice... go, you can try it", I am gratiful with them, and with the people works in this school like: teachers, they are a good persons, and they help you when you have a questions, Thanks you Teachers! Also I'm gratiful with my sister and all her family, because they support me for coming to this school and this country. I love them soo much!

To be in this school is great experience for me, because I have learned a lot, although I know my English isn't perfect I need more  practice and I must lose the afraid, because sometimes I scared talk it. But, I think in the life we need to be persevering people to get our goals.

Thanks!!
