I already started reading the book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain. I think it is interesting so forth. I already read "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" which is the second part and it was fascinating. However, this second book (Huckleberry Finn) is very controversial as well because the author use many times the word nigger to name the slaves. Therefore, this book is prohibited in many schools because it is uncomfortable to read for African-American due it shows discrimination. It is surprising the author of this book took 7 years to finish it.

I am glad because we will not go to college on Monday. I think we have to have vacation more frequently. I hope everybody can enjoy this day off because we still have many school days. Once more I am glad because my favorite soccer team is still unbeated.

I was reading on Internet that the writer of "Great Expectations" and "Oliver Twist" and the most famous English author Charles Dickens had to work at the age of the 12 to help with family expenses. He worked long hours in factories with bad conditions. One of his book "Hard Times" was inspired based on his infancy problems during Industrial Revolution. This remember me that sometimes we have to suffer to achieve our goals.

This week when we were writing people who overcame their obstacles I remembered of Walter Dean Mayer author of "Fallen Angels" because he stopped to attend high school because he faced discrimination because he was one of the few African-American in school. However, his dreams came the moment less expected.

I am happy because the national soccer team from my contry beat Costa Rica 1-0. The same day I heard a quote from a TV producer called Don Frncisco that say: "Life is like a marathon of running that never end, however; we the runner have to keep running not matter how far is. " I think it is truth because the problems never end and we we have to learn to solve or deal with them.

On Wednesday I was watching a TV program about a Spanish man who is blind. The most surprising about the show was that even though this man has a disability, he could progress and enjoy his life. Also, this blind man can dance, sing, row, run in competition, and hike. Many times we have good health and we complain. It is ironic how people with disability such as this man from Spain and Hellen keller could achieve many goals, and a person who is healthy cannot improve their lifes.

I am glad because two of my favorites players in the world are playing together in Real Madrid Futbol Club, a soccer club from Spain. One player is Kaka from Brazil and the other is Christiano Ronaldo from Portugal. The last season this team was doing bad, however, since the team bought these two players, the team has been winning. Last Saturday I went to my friend's house to watch the match Brazil v Argentina. This was a really good game and the best of all Brazil won. Sunday, I spend cleaning my bedroom and watching tv. Finally, the Labor Day I went shopping with my family.
