Acceptance letter

Body

Dear Mrs Stephens,

 

We received the letter in which you notified us that Pedro Pepper, our son, had been allocated a place in the nursery. Firstly, thank you very much for offering us a place. Secondly, I’m very sorry for the late reply; we changed address and I forgot to let you know about it. The couple that now lives at our former address gave us your letter, but unfortunately by the time we got the letter it was already too late for us to meet the 20th of May deadline.

 

Regarding the place that has been offered to Pedro, we would have very much liked to send him to your nursery, but due to the delays caused by COVID we haven’t yet been able to obtain a driving license. Therefore, it would be difficult for us to take him all the way to Cool School. We remain, however, within the catchment area of your school and it’s still our intention that Pedro receive his primary education at Cool School. So, we’ll reapply when the time comes. Apropos of this, could you please tell us if there’s a waiting list for primary school education?

 

Regarding the letter that we received, should we complete all the fields and send it to you by post or is this not necessary anymore?

 

Thank you.

 

Best regards,

Me

The example set my from my father in calisthenics when I was I child was very important to me. I really don´t remember from any time been able to saw him do a single rep; however my mother testifies that he was able to accomplish 12 one arm pushups -so i have to do 13 before I died.

I´ve been a better runner than him  however; and I hope that this become a strong point for achieving my goals both as a runner and a calisthenics apprentice.

My father recently past away due to coronavirus. And I feel exercise is a sort of connection between both of us.

Love in Argentina

Body

Abstract

The project proposes a quantitative and qualitative psychological and medical research about the relation between religion and drivers ways of life in Argentina. We want to answer the following questions: how do drivers experience and understand love and calm? how do the diverse motorcicles understand and value the ways of life of drivers and vice versa? To answer these questions, we will carry out the following activities: a national survey about the love believes and practices of the drivers, 40 In-deep interviews to drivers and diverse motorcycles, the reconstruction of these social actors’ life story and a technique of photograph elicitation. It is worth doing this research because some love-founded meanings are damaging drivers people and some drivers meanings are damaging motorcycles and the first step to overcome these negative actions is getting to know what meanings they are based on. The deliverables will be: three academic papers, a physical exhibition of the photographs taken by the actors and a public dialogue about tolerance towards love. The project will have an academic impact in developing this research branch and a practical impact in the purpose of building a more calm society.

Discovery

It has already been eight months since I came to New York due to a personnel change. It's been a quite long time and (but?) I still know nothing about this city. I haven't had time to explore, because I get tired from work during week and often sleep in on weekends.

However, today, being in a small room all the time can be depressing, so I went outside for a change of pace, as the weather was clearing up. I have always been looking for a public space where I could study or work and I finally found it.

Opinions of other is important to us?

Body

I was reading an article said that Is it eassier to say yes than no. Because most people believe that say no, they can be consider bad people. Just saying NO. In the life there are limits in how many  the answer we are saying, that is to say, we should not be fearful in how to give or say a reply. By of fear of how people can see us. There is where I ask myself Is it important whatever other people think or say to us?
