Menopause



In my opinion, menopause has been diagnosed in woman as a suffering, because is a period where women starts a big change in her life. Also, it is the mark where women end menstruation and childbearing capability, there is said that menopause varies widely. However, menopause has many health effects due to the hormonal changes. I think, been educated teach me to differentiated that the causes to prevent menopause is by having a healthy diet through the stages of life.
Also, I wanted to share an experience with one of my family members, she is my aunt, she has never married before and she is 53 years old. I remember when she starting having a really serious headaches and hot flashes called night sweats. It was terrible to see her suffering with this symptom. My mother also believes that menopause attacks more bad if you don’t get married because depending in your culture believes too. As my culture is a Mexican culture, so they believe that you have to be virgin until you get married. Therefore my aunt is paying the consequences of the culture beliefs during the stage of menopause; it is why sometimes society has much relationship with women aging, because due the stereotypes in the world menopause is portrayed as a major life tragedy.
I think women have to face this phase with knowledge and courage. It not mattering society’s opinion, because the aging of the woman has to be respected globally.

A Big Monster


A BIG MONSTER HIV & AID’S


I would like to talk about this issue because it has been really important today’s in our society. HIV and AID’S have a big impact in the world. Also, because has a big impact in the teen society, it is why is very important to me because as the time is passing I want to work in some future on this profession. I would like to work more with teenagers who are the ones who don’t get serious responsibilities in their education on sexuality.

As I stated in my title that HIV and AID’S are a big monster is because I found that many people in our society stereotype this disease as a monster who eats all his good things inside them. So as I continue reading about this dangerous disease I learned every day in these issues, I think if we don’t do anything about it; it would be increasing every second and every second a person will be infected with some sexual diseases. It is sad how many ignorant people do not put attention what is happening around the world, with this big monster that is eating our entire world. Also “A Closer Walk” it has been a movie that impacts my life, I really recommend to people to buy it, that way they will understand the importance to get a test on HIV and AID’s diseases.

As Hispanic, I am worried about my society because HIV and AID’S are placed in the second place struggling with this type of diseases because every day these diseases are becoming an epidemic anyhow. First of all, HIV infection is not at all a problem of sex-alone. HIV can be spread through via various ways. Already, AIDS is a big problem in low class because as Prostitution it has been proved illegal in some countries, such as in India is illegal to have sex with a prostitute. In addition, I recommend all the people to get a HIV test.

The importance of been pregnant


The importance of been pregnant

I think to be a parent contributes at many responsibilities, After I get married, I was afraid that my husband wants to have kids, because before we get married we talk about having babies will be after I graduate from college. But, now sometimes he ask me, if we wanted to have a baby, but I am still telling him not now, but he told me that time is passing on, so sometimes we have to deal with this subject.

For me planning a baby is a really good decision, because that way you can offer them the best. Also, because having a baby is a big responsibility, there are many factors which contribute at this responsibility. Such as, education because is really important how to educated your kids. As having many members of my family with this responsibility it is difficult to me been a mother now, sometimes I think if I get pregnant now is going to be very stressful for me. But, as time is passing now my priority is my education. Now, my husband understands the importance of my education so he understands and supports me in the decision of not having a baby during this time. However, after I finished school I want to have a baby.

As I read some blog stories, everyone has different opinions because they are single mothers, or just single, etc.

Happy International Women's Day
To everyone
