Journal #1

Last saturday night i had one of the worst days of my life. Me and my cousin were at the wedding on saturday. We had so much fun and than it was time for us to leave. When i was getting out of the parking lot towards exit a little 3 or 4 years old girl jumped front of my car. I hit the brakes really quick and all i saw the little girl falling on the ground. I thought i hit the little girl. I got out of the car really quick to go check it. She was laying on the ground and crying. I picked her up really quick and asked her if she was allright. Also i asked her if did i hit her. I was shaking badly. She told me no. I was still so nervous. I took her to her mother. She Was sitting at the table at the wedding. I was really mad at her i told her i almost hit her daugher. I told her lady you need to watch your kid I was really mean. I don't understand this kind of people.What kind of parents are they? I went back into my car. I was still shocked and nervous. I was still shaking. When i came home i couldnt go sleep. That thing was always in my mind what would happen if i was going faster i would probably hit the little girl. I am thanking my god every night that he saved that little girl's life and saved my life. If i would of hit that little girl i would feel guilty rest of my life. Parents need to watch their kids more carefully.

In my second journal I'm going to talk about chimps. Chimps are almost like humans. In the documentry we watched thursday I saw many interesting things. Such as how mother chimp tought her baby chimp how to hold a wood to break the nut. Also how baby chimp was playing on the tree. I also saw really bad things like male chimps kidnapping little baby chimp and they killed them and eat them. I found that really bad. I think they find a solution for chimps because their population is decreasing. Elaine I am sorry I totally forgot to write my journal yesterday can I please write another one tomorrow?

In my third journal i am going to talk about my responsiblities in the house. I have so many resposibilities in my house because, in my family i am the only person who speaks Engilish and Turkish. Evertime if my mother or my sister or my father has to go to doctor or needs to talk to someone that speaks Engilish i have to go and translate for them. Of course i want to help muy parents, but after a little while it gates annoying that i have to run everywhere to translate for them. I have to read all the mails that comes to the house. I also work 6 days a week, and go to school. This is very stressful. I also have to deal with my fathers case. Since he got into a really bad car accident we hired a lawyer to take care of our case. The lawyer is American. Everytime if something happens i have to go talk to them and translated to my father. Everytime my father goes to doctor i have to go with him. I want them to learn Engilsh. My mother tried so hard to learn it, but she still can't speak English. She understand it little bit. she probably speaks and understands much more than my father. My sister is 4 years old. I can't wait her to grow up little more so she could help me to translate for the family.:)

I always saw him fixing things, so I decided to become one. In order to become an E.E. I need to have bachelor degree. I need to go school for at least 5 years. This major is all about phsics. I need to take many physics class. You only need to take one Engilish class. In future if I become that major I will earn lots of money. If I work for a company I will start of 30 dollars an hour. However this job also dangerous. That is a possibilty of getting electucuted but if I be carefull there will be no risk. There is also lots of benifits like a life insurance and vacation time which you will still get pay eventhought you are in vacation. I hope I will be successful and have this major.
