Hacksaw Ridge Movie

What makes a movie great is that movies can touch the audience's hearts especially when the movie is emotional and based on a true story. When a movie pulls you into the story and you find yourself emotionally too into the character that's when you know a movie is great. I recently went to go see the movie Hacksaw Ridge and I loved it. Since I'm a big fan of action/war movies I decided to go watch Hacksaw Ridge. I'm really glad I did because it's one of my favorite movies right now. The movie Hacksaw Ridge is an inspiring true story about conscientious objector Desmond T. Doss who saved 75 men in Okinawa during one of the bloodiest battles during World War 2. What I found absolutely amazing about this story is that when he saved those men, he didn't get shot once. He was a Christian who didn't believe in violence and guns. He was the only American soldier to fight in the war without a single weapon. He was the army medic who would evacuate the wounded near enemy lines, without caring that he was putting his own life at risk. By doing that he was the first conscientious objector to ever win a Congressional Medal of honor.

White Chicks Restaurant Scene

White Chicks Restaurant Date Scene

This scene from White Chicks is one of my favorite scenes from the movie. Latrell takes Tiffany out on a date. He tries to order her a salad but she surprises him by ordering a full course meal. The reason why this scene is funny for me is because it reminds me of my brother and his girlfriend. Since my brother is on a diet, his girlfriend tries to keep him on track with eating healthy. However, he has his days where he wants to eat unhealthy. In this aspect this is when this scene relates to their situation. My siblings and I make fun of my brother by comparing him to this scene where his girlfriend plays Latrell and he plays Tiffany. Aside from being able to use this scene as a comparison, it is overall a hilarious scene.

                     My Sunday Meal

               

Every Sunday is a special day for my family and I, it's the day when we all go out to eat. This Sunday we went to Island Burger. As for my order I decided to get the chicken tenders with fries and a Strawberry Lemonade. After ten minutes later my food arrived, just as I expected my fries were crispy and lightly salted. As well as my fries, the chicken tenders were crispy and well done. To top it all off my family and I enjoyed the food. If you are looking for place with great and delicious food I really recommend Island Burger.

Personal Freedom

Personal Freedom

              Many people have different definitions of what freedom means to them. However, I see freedom of a way to express yourself in different ways. The freedom that is the most important to me is the freedom of Rights. Some of the Rights that are vital are culture, freedom of speech, and religion.

            As a Hispanic, culture plays a big role in my life, such as Mexican traditions. Because America is so diverse, I  am grateful to be given the opportunity to express my culture. In most of other countries, there has been one or two different cultures. I can not imagine being put to shame for celebrating my culture.

          Secondly, freedom of speech has become an issue in America. The freedom speech is the right to articulate someones opinions and ideas without the fear of what other people will say or think of them. For instance, not long ago a valedictorian named Larissa Martinez from Texas declared  she was undocumented during her graduation speech. Therefore, she had left Mexico to get a better life and education in Texas for her and her family. Because, she was brave enough that she was undocumented other are not scared to speak up for themselves.

         Lastly, freedom of religion is an important religion to carry. As a Catholic family in my household, religion is very important to us. It is great to have a freedom to practice in your religion.
Many people get killed for their religion and for what they believe in. For example, back in the earlier days the people who were most killed for their religion were Christians. During the persecution of pleggans in the late Roman Empire during Constantine the Great, many Christians were killed for their religion.


           

               

My Main Goal

               Everyone has different goals in life and how to be successful, however my main goal is to get a degree or major in the nursing field. The smaller goals I will have to meet to get to my main goal is getting a job and take the classes needed.
              To begin with, my main goal is to get a degree or major in the nursing. There are many different careers to choose from and most people have different goals than others. I would like study nursing. Because I feel like it would be a great career. As an example, nursing has a great variety of different positions and is worth the hard work. I would also be able to help people that need it.
              Furthermore, in order to reach my main goal I will have to get a job. When studying in the medical field it is very important to have a job to pay off school. For example, I may apply to take a well paying internship. Many college students and recent graduates work as interns. Which means they can take a temporary job to get hands on experience, usually in a field that they are interested in.
             Lastly, another small goal I would have to meet to get to my main goal to take the required classes. For instance, I can meet with an adviser to take a program that would help me with the classes. Although, my main goal is to get into the nursing field, I may study a different career in the future. It is ok to not know what your goals are in life right now or what you want to study. Like Carol Dweck said in The Power Of Believing That You Can Improve she mentioned the phrase "The Power Of Not Yet" meaning you are not sure or do not understand something it can give you a learning curve and path into the future.
