This is who I am


Hello everyone,

To the ones I know, nice to see you again, and the ones I do not know, nice to meet you!

My name is Geryzol López De La Rosa, and I was born on May 06th, 1998, in La Altagracia. In 2018, I moved from my hometown to Santo Domingo to study what I really love (languages), and this has been one of my biggest challenge in my whole life because everything changed. Thus, I was exposed to an environment that I was not used to, new house, new friends, new everything. But, I am living with sister who makes this a little more bearable, and I have met incredible people.

Currently, I am majoring in Modern Languages and taking French and Portuguese in the extracurricular courses. After finishing these courses, I would like to learn another language, but I do not know if I would continue taking a Romance language or I will change to another branch.

My friends sometimes say that I have an old lady soul trapped in the body of a young one since I really enjoy old songs, especially Jazz, Soul and R&B. For real, I can listen to that music the whole day through without getting tired of it. Knowing different languages makes this hobby more interesting since I can hear old songs in those languages too. Besides listening to music, I like to dance and sing even though I am not good at it, to watch series and movies, to jog in the park, and overall, I like to spend time with my lovely ones.

I am eager to learn new things and, furthermore, I hope to share new experiences with you.

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...
