Denisse Mendoza

Denisse Mendoza is currently a student enrolled in the fall semester of Oxnard College at age nineteen. She was born in Ventura California with her parent’s background coming from Mexican descent. She is attending Oxnard College to start her education planning to transfer to San Diego in the future to major in Art. She lives her life as a student at Oxnard College and a part time job at Best Buy in the cell phone sales department. Her motivation to be a successful person in life comes from her older sister Araceli and from within her as well, for her family has never attended a university before. She also does it to be someone in life and not a bum living in the streets. Adventurous, creative and driven are the words that she describes herself as the person she currently is in life. The reason why she chose to attend Oxnard College is because it is a small intimate campus. The only things that she sees can be improved at Oxnard College are sports, student involvement and a theater department which it lacks on.

Reality TV

I watch some reality shows but not many. One of my favorite shows to watch is in fact Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I have seen every episode there has ever been made. What i like about reality shows is that it entertains you because you get to see other people's life's. I know some are not real like Jersey Shore which is all scripted but yet although people know it is fake they still cannot get enough of it. And i cannot blame them Jersey Shore is a lot of fun to watch also. Yeaaaa Buddy! I do not see why reality shows are harming our society maybe people dislike them for whatever reason but if they bother you just don't watch them and that's that. Why are you going to say things about a show when you can just change the channel and not watch it. I do not watch reality shows and then feel guilty for watching them. I watch them because i like them and they entertain me and i think everyone watches them for the same reason i do. There are many reality shows out there but some are just plain dumb. Sometimes i say how can this even be a show on T.V. Everybody has their own type of show they like and dislike. The most watched reality show right now is Jersey Shore which not only teenagers watch but a variety of viewers are into it every Thursday at 10pm. I watch it at 7pm just because i have Dish and i can see shows 3 hours before our time zone. Some shows are popular and some are not. The more popular they are the more money the cast gets for each season that comes out. Jersey Shore cast members are earning 100 thousand dollars each for every episode that they make. To me its ridiculous to be earning that much money just for drinking and going to clubs but since its a hit show then they have to pay them what they want because everyone wants the same cast and not a different one. In my opinion i think Keeping Up With The Kardashians is a better reality show because it is actually a real show that is really happening to them. and also Kim Kardashian is hot so what else could i ask for. Reality shows are more about peoples life's and the actions that happen to them without being scripted and having real people instead of trained actors.

Texting

Texting is sort of my middle name because any time of the day you will see me texting. As everybody says that they feel naked without their phone is exactly right, Whenever i am not texting or not using my phone i feel like there is something missing. I just got a new phone about 4 days ago and im texting even more now because all i want is to be with my new phone. Texting is an everyday part of life. I wonder how it used to be back then when there was no texting yet. I can imagine it was just pure phone calls or beepers. I don't see myself living without texting in my life. Texting has changed the world of communication in a big way. When you just want to ask somebody something without calling them you just text them and wait for an answer. Everybody has their own way of communicating weather it is facebook or a phone call or whatever but my way is texting and i do not see changing how i communicate. I am not a facebook person  like everyone is but i am indeed a texting addict and i love it.

Happy Meal!

When I was just a kid, I loved going to McDonald's just to get a happy meal. Every Sunday was happy meal day for me. I loved having a new toy every weekend which as i see now that i only played with it for like a day. I used to eat a lot of fast food when i was a child. Weather it was hamburgers or burritos or anything else i loved the taste of it. My favorite fast food restaurant has always been McDonald's since i was a child. When we used to go to Taco Bell or anywhere else i liked the food but it was not as nearly the same as McDonald's. The toys were just better at McDonald's. My dad has never been a fan of fast food but my mom has always loved hamburgers and stuff like that. My dad is a fan of home style food like enchiladas or posole.

I stopped eating fast food when i was about 15 years old. I did not completely stop eating it but i just cut the habit of eating it a lot. As of today i eat fast food no more than once a month. Cutting down on fast food has helped me in many ways. I used to be more chubby before i cut on eating so much fast food. Right now i am not fat and not skinny either but i am an average size person and i am happy with my body at the moment. I always tell my mom why she always took me to fast food places and she always tells me well because you liked them. I am not going to lie about fast food not being good. Trust me fast food is delicious but the only reason why it is so good is because it has so much fat. I bet if i had a carrot and i dipped it in fat it will also be delicious.

When i have kids in the future i am going to give them fast food but not on every occasion. I know everybody loves fast food and if it was a healthy meal we would all be eating it every day. Since it is not a healthy meal that is why we try to avoid it the most we can. Others have more control of avoiding it than others do. Eating right at home shows a message to kids of how it is to be eating healthy. Since a child is small they watch what we eat and if they see us saying that fruit or vegetables are gross then they are going to also say that they are gross also. Eating right does not just help our bodies but it helps the people around us. Everybody has different opinions of it but for me fast food has to be eaten in low quantities. Everybody has their own lifestyle and they make their own eating decisions but when we have kids we decide what they eat not them.
