MY HUGE RISK

I have taken a lot of risks in my life. I would like to explain one of them that I recently took. It’s about my travel to America. It was a huge risk to come to the totally distinct country. I have two crucial reasons that can illustrate my risk.

First, it was a huge risk for me to throw out my education without being sure that in another university in a different country they would accept and transfer my courses or not. I was studying in art-painting major and I studied 3 years in Iran and I had only one semester to go before my graduation when I decided to come here. I had an extremely complex situation at that time. Fortunately, Southern Illinois University of Carbondale admitted me and transferred most of my courses which I passed in Iran. So it was a big risk in my life.

Second, it was also a big risk to come to another country without any knowledge of their language. I did it eight month ago. When I came here at first I did not know anything about English language and it was a risky work because maybe I would lost or maybe I would be sick and I even could not explain my situation to guys who are in there. So it could be very dangerous for me to come to the USA without any skills about English language.

As a conclusion, I think I did the most risky work when I was coming to America because I left my education with doubt and came here without knowing English language.

RISKIEST ACTIVITY


      In my idea mountain climbing is the riskiest activity in the world. I have two crucial reasons, which can illustrate my opinion.
      First, mountains have a lot of valley that climbers may fall down and get hurt. If it happens, it is not easy to communicate with guys who can help you specially when you are alone. For example, I had a friend who climbed on the Everest Mountain. During his pursuit suddenly he fell down in to a valley and went in coma position. He was lucky because he was not alone and one of his friends was with him and called to ask help from guys, but it took a long time. So, it is extremely risky that you go to the mountain with knowledge that you may fall down.
      Second, mountains are complicating and you might be lost if you do not know very well about paths, and when you get lost it is not easy to find your way again. For example, one of my friends had decided to go to the Arborz Mountain, which is located in north of Iran. He was stunning in climbing, but unfortunately he was not good to find his ways. He was supposed to come back in a week, but nobody saw him again and he still as lost. Hopefully he is ok. Some guys already look for him. Maybe they will find him, maybe not. So, it means mountains are dangers and it is a risky activity, because you may get lost, but if you would succeed and overcome the situation through strength, you would feel free and probably would say, “Let’s do it again!” It is the distinct feeling that climbers have, and it also makes them different from other people.
      In conclusion, mountain climbing is the riskiest pursuit in the world, because mountain climbers may fall down or might get lost. In my idea they play with their life during climbing.

SUCCESS

      I believe that success means trying to get the goals in your personal life. I have two strong reasons to explain it.
      First, if you understand what you want in your life, It means you know yourself and you know what your skills are, you have to improve your skills in that way. For instance, I had a friend who wanted to join to a basketball team. She tried a lot to get her goal, but unfortunately, she was not as tall as other basketball players and she was not accepted. Finally, she found her skills in another way and she tried to be a good teacher in schools. Now, she is successful in her life. Recently she got married. She has a cute baby now. So, at first you should find your skills in a right way.
     Second, trying to get your goals does not mean that you forget everything and just think about your goal. You have to spend your time for everything in your life and balance it. For example, one of my friends was very good in his job. He was spending all of his time for his job. After a while, I heard that he divorced. It means he could not divide his time equally between his family and his job. At last, he failed in one of them. So, balancing time is one of the crucial things to be successful.
      In conclusion,  the successful people must know their goals in their life and not forget trying and balance times.

ARTICLE

       I was interested in GUT BACTERIA: WE ARE WHAT WE EAT, you can find it on http://www.voanews.com/learningenglish/home/Gut-Bacteria-We-Are-What-We-Eat-129523518.html. I recommend you looking at it because it is very interesting on the other hand crucial. This article related to bacteria in human gut. Those bacteria associated different kind of diet. they also connected with desease which is maybe happend in the future. It also have two distinct kind of study that may interesting for you.
        In my idea this article is very useful for people because according to the article we can control our body with diet. It is one of the most important things for our health. Most of the disease depend our diet. It might be a good idea to prevent disease instead treating them. Also, treating the disease is more painful than prevent them.

CESL Presentation

      I was in CESL for the first time that I was located in a different place with a different language. I was so nervous and my teacher asked me to have a presentation about my country and introduce myself. It was like a terrible  dream to say it in another language but I did it and it was not that hard. So I can infer that everything is going to be ok after a while.
