Hello!



My name's yeison alcantara, I was born on April 10th 1992, I know I look like a child to be almost in my 30s; nevertheless, everything on me is from an adult, except for my face. Well, I grew up in a small town in San Juan de la maguana called Juan de Herrera.



As a teenager I used to be timid and reserved, I spent most of my time writing things that came to my mind, even I thought I wasn't like the other teenagers because I didn't go out and didn't have a lot of friend neither. I came to Santo Domingo four years ago thinking Thayne's going to be better for me and my studies, but I was completely wrong, it's hard when we live far from home.



Actually, I've become more friendly and easygoing, I like to go out more often; even though there are many things that I'm worried about, that means I'm a little fearful.



I wanted to become a doctor; besides, I started studying medicine, but I couldn't go onion that because of my economy, so I decided to change my career and started to study English as a major, I would like to become a really good professor.



Well, I'm not good at describing myself. Here I have to say "that's all for today" thanks.





Yeison Alcantara Castillo.

About Unit 3: The Bold and the Bashful

The Bold and the Bashful         The content of this unit reminded me of a time I was considered shy and introverted. I also particularly remember being  misattributed  of having an  aloof  personality by many of my classmates in middle school and high school. However, later I understood this was simply because I did not share most interests or hobbies with them; therefore, while it might sound a bit  condescending , I just did not make any efforts to be on their good side, or seek for their friendship as I found it pointless. Nonetheless, I did get to build great friendships with a few  kindred souls  along my formative years with whom, to this date, I feel comfortable and content around and can talk about pretty much everything. So, what I learned about my personal experience is that there is nothing wrong with being shy or introverted, as long as it does not lead us to develop a physical or emotional ...

The Tipping Point

The Tipping Point According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, a tipping point is " the critical point in a situation, process, or system beyond which a significant and often unstoppable effect or change takes place ". With this said, I think globalization has proven to be one of the most remarkable tipping points in worldwide history as it has had a tremendous effect in world economy, education, ideologies, health, and several other aspects of humanity.  For instance, it has made countries depend upon each other for sustaining their economy (e.g. tourism, petroleum, etc.) and also through free trade treaties. In addition, globalization has allowed for universities to reach international agreements. Studying abroad has become more accesible and as a result, professionals are being better equipped for their tasks. Another consequence of this phenomenon is the spread and assimilation of new ideologies like feminism, civil rights, gender ideology, and inclusion of disable...

Unit 6: Spiritual Renewal

Spiritual renewal refers to practices or intends to get closer to the divine practices including fasting, praying, meditating, among others. This is not a new practice, it has been among us during centuries. All religions seek spiritual renewal, but their motivations are not always the same. For example, in fasting, we find that some religions do it to get spiritual discipline (episcopalianism), some others to get away from materialism (judaism), and others do it do to preserve their ancient traditions.It does not matter the reason why we seek to be renewed spiritually, what matters is that we all have the internal need to seek it. It seems like humans beings have the necessity to connect with something greater than the self. Once a heard a very interesting phrase that said " The only one who can truly satisfy the human heart is the one who made it." I believe this is the reason why we are always trying to get closer to the divine. Because we want to be truly satisfied in t...
