My nephews

My sister is seven years older than me. She has two children, Jacob and Isaac. Jacob is five years old and Isaac is three weeks. Weeks ago I read an article in my oral communication class about the first born. The article basically talks about how is the behavior of the children when they are the first born and a new member comes to the family. Since Isaac born, Jacob has changed his behavior so much. Jacob has been always so polite and with very good behavior. However, in the last weeks he has had a little bad behavior. It is kind of sad because I think he feel that the attention everyone gave to him, now is divided for he and his brother. He is trying to get more attention for his parents, his grand parents and I. The good point is that both Jacob's parents and my parents understand very good this situation. All of us have managed this situation in a good way and Jacob is passing this situation very well. I think this a situation that all the parents have to know how handle it, because the challenge of the first orn is a situation that can affects all the family members.

My new costumer

A week ago I got a new costumer or new boss. It doesn't matter how it is called costumer or boss. The important is that it is more work to do. Weeks ago when I published the website, the Facebook page and everything I did for my first boss, one friend of her saw everything and she liked. She asked her about who did that and my boss recommended me with her. Now I am working with her too. She is a therapist and she wants build and design a website and create the profile of the business on the social networks. I am working on that for these days. I have to
learn many new things because she wants a more interactive website such as web site with videos. I am so happy about what I am doing. I really enjoy the marketing and the graphic design. I know that everything I am doing with help me in the future. It is not only about money. I am getting experience to one day get my dream of have my own business real. Same like the first web site my girlfriend is helping me with the graphic desig. However, I am learning somethings about that too.

My Job

Almost two months ago I started two work as a personal asistent. My boss has a business of organic farms. She basically design and build organics farms for the backtyards of the houses. My job is basically keep all the papers such as bills, invoice and that kind stuff update. In addition, I have to manage the brand. For that reason I have had to learn many new things such as design and create web sites. That has been very interesting because a month ago I had no any idea about that, but now the web site for my boss is ready and published and everything works perfectly. I am very proud of me because I learn everything reading, watching videos, or simplye playing with the software. The website is simple because that is the kind of website she wanted. It is just to show information of her services. However it is so useful and friendly and it is connected with the social networks of the business such as Twitter, Facebook and Flickr.However, all the credits are not mine because the graphic design was designed by my girlfriend. She is an Industrial Designer and she is very good on what she do.
I think we do a good team. In fact, we always have thought in have our own business of brand management.

My English

Since I came here 2 years ago I have been studying English. Since then every class I have gone I have learned something new or at least I have practice what I already know. However, every time that I talked with Americans I felt kind of confused or nerveous I really don't know what was that. I always knew that my skills to read or write were better than my skills to speak because I didn't talk too much with Americans. But the last months have been different I feel very proud of my English. I always have to talk too much with the 2 people I work for. I have to send to them many e-mails or read many emails they send me. In addition, I have to explain them many things about my work. In fact, many things I have to explain to them are very technical and I can do it. Obiously I have mistakes sometimes, but I always get that they undestand me. More over, I am learning many new things such as desig websites so that has helped me to expand my vocabulary.It is obious that while better our English is better our lifes are.
