Community Profile Interview with Brissa Guevara

In my English class my teacher, told us that we need to interview a classmate and ask them questions about their experience at IVC, I think that this interview can apply to my Community Profile subject that is about Cultural Diversity, and I ask Brissa about his experience at IVC with cultural diversity. 

Brissa Guevera is a student from Imperial Valley College, a place where she can experience cultural diversity each day in the classroom. Everyday Brissa hears the most common languages in school, English, and Spanish and sometimes a mixture of she calls this “Spanglish” a language created because we are close to the border. Brissa emphasizes, “I think that cultural diversity is great, we can learn from each other in the classroom, and our ideas combined can be better because we can have some innovator.” (Guevera) Everyone who lives close to the border should understand what Brissa is talking about, we live in both worlds, cultural diversity in the classroom is not something bad, like Brissa says you can take advantage of your classmates with different background and learn more about their culture and behaviors, this should be fun in the class. When you combined ideas with someone who came from another place maybe you both can have differences, but after a good conversation, I am sure that you both can do something amazing and innovator.

My Favorite Movie

Sometimes people wait all of their life, for the correct person to come. Fight for the person that you love sometimes can have bad consequences. The Great Gatsby, a sad story that shows us that sometimes we are in love with the incorrect person,  Gatsby does all types of things hoping to see daisy one day, he never imagined that Daisy would be the cause of his death. Daisy is the beautiful girl that wants everything in an easy way, and she is scared of the consequences, Gatsby never sees the bad signals because he is in love with her. Sometimes being in love doesn't mean that it is correct, love does not matter if the other person is not committed as you in the relationship, you need to love yourself first and then you can share your love.


My Favorite Book

The world of angels exist, Patch is an angel that watches every day a girl on the earth. Who says that angels are free? After falling in love with this girl, Patch was kick out of heaven. Instead of trying to go back to heaven he prefers to meet the love of his life. Like every story, they need to fight against everyone that does not let them be together. This is a story that shows us that do not matter what you can fight against everything in order to achieve what you want.


A famous person I love

Rihanna is a girl from Barbados, she signs from an early age, she was very shy and she becomes a soldier because she wanted a stronger attitude. Now she is the singer with the most money and she has his own makeup brand. Now her makeup brand is one of the most popular. It is important to notice how she was very shy and now she is one of the best pop singers. She had low self-esteem whe she was a kid. She is the person that inspires me becoming whatever I want no matter what others think.

Quote Sandwich- “As people from diverse cultures contribute language skills, new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and different experiences”- Erasmus.

The majority of people do not understand what cultural diversity is, and how can help others. Cultural Diversity is more than people with different skin colors, hair or linguistic. You can learn from cultural diversity more than you think. A lot of people in the United States just see the negative side of diversity, but they can take advantage of that instead of look for bad things. The website Erasmus, Partnership International, is a page specific to discuss cultural diversity around the world, the website Erasmus emphasizes, “As people from diverse cultures contribute language skills, new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and different experiences” (Erasmus 4). Now we can understand that with cultural diversity we can have a different perspective of the world if we look at the world with the same eyes that people with different backgrounds do, we can understand a lot of situations, and maybe have more empathy for them, instead of criticizing. The United States diversity is going to increase more and more, and in order to grow as a country we need to accept each other, and have empathy for others, understand their situation, and support them.

College Experience Interview- The Quote Sandwich

In my English 110 class, we do an activity called “The Quote Sandwich” is about how a quote should be.
First, you need to talk about your theme (that is the first bread) you should give the reader an explanation
of your topic, is like an introduction to your quote if you do not do this first the reader would not understand
really good your quote. Second, your quote(This is the ham and cheese) here you need to give your quote,
but first remember that you need to put the name of the author in order that the reader know who says the
quote after you close your quote, you need to put in parenthesis the last name of the author. Then, in order
to finish your sandiwch, you need the last cape of bread, here you need to explain your quote, how is that
your quote connects with your topic, what the quote means, what the author is trying to do with this, then
your sandiwch is done. 

Brissa Guevera is a student from Imperial Valley College, a place where she can experience cultural
diversity each day in the classroom. Everyday Brissa hears the most common languages in school, English,
and Spanish and sometimes a mixture of she calls this “Spanglish” a language created because we are close
to the border. Brissa emphasizes, “I think that cultural diversity is great, we can learn from each other in
the classroom, and our ideas combined can be better because we can have some innovator.” (Guevera)
Everyone who lives close to the border should understand what Brissa is talking about, we live in both
worlds, cultural diversity in the classroom is not something bad, like Brissa says you can take advantage
of your classmates with different background and learn more about their culture and behaviors, this should
be fun in the class. When you combined ideas with someone who came from another place maybe you both
can have differences, but after a good conversation, I am sure that you both can do something amazing and
innovator.
