Daniel Cabrera has been living a life of a child from a family who can barely get through the day with his mother earning less than $2 a day by working at a retail store.  It's no wonder that the child has great dreams.  He dreams of becoming rich someday and smart enough to know that education is the key to attaining his dreams.  "I don't want to be poor for the rest of my life," He told his mother.   Because of extreme hardship in life and their home having very little comfort, not even any electricity, he has to study his lessons at night at a nearby sidewalk in order to be lighted upon by the escaping gleams from the nearby establishment.   It was during one of those times he would be using the lights from the establishment that one passer-by was struck by the power of the image of the boy making do with what is around him to survive.  Ms. Torrefranca, a medical student, did not feel pity, but instead felt inspired upon seeing the boy in that spot at that

I have had my share of bad teachers and instructors in the past (not in driving but in my academic experience), so I either just shrugged them off or I just thought about how pretty badly they were treated when they were learning also.  Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't.  What is worse than a relative who can teach you , but refuses to teach you, is a driver who is either obssessive-compulsive, a perfectionist, or just plain fault-finder.  So it is just my luck that I got this kind of instructor today.  My last practice was about seven days ago, which is really not a practice as I was really able to form a mere letter "L" in a subdivision.  Because my 'mentor' was so impatient, he could not wait for me to finish the entire length of one side of the tree-lined park, for no reason, but just mere impatience.  If I was not really strong in spirit, I'd given up earlier, but no, I'm just not the type to give up, not easily.  My theme song now i

Is Ben Affleck out of his eff-ing mind? Men are just unbelievably obtuse and unappreciative at times.  What is it with them? I thought my favorite Hollywood couple is for keeps, so imagine my shock and disappointment when Jennifer and Ben called it quits.  It seems that having three kids together just could not stop their disunity.   I remember being wildly thrilled when I heard these two were going to be tying the knot.  They are perfect for each other as far as I am concerned.  They are both young, single and have a Hollywood career that is working steadily.  Their movies are making money, and they have a fan-base that could help their social media presence felt and active.   Their union couldn't have happen at the right time. Ben was never great for Jennifer Lo, knowing Jennifer Lopez is almost a MILF.  She was married twice already.  For me, Ben was made for Jennifer Garner, young, smart, sexy, and pretty.  They were Hollywood's sweethearts, if you ask me, the p

The trick in driving firstly, is to be calm and relaxed at all times. This is what I learned after the first two hours with my instructor. Don't let nerves get through you.  Breathe in and relax when you get behind the wheel.  Also, it pays for you to master footwork. Even when you are not driving always practice your left foot by imagining it pressing  clutch, and your right foot pressing break, and gas. You can also make an improvised gear stick so that you can coordinate your footwork with your arm movements.  This will help you gain confidence when you get behind the wheel.  I practiced my footwork first for an hour. Imagining me behind the wheel and driving.  Later, I imagined moving the gear stick according to my footwork.  It did help a lot in terms of making me feel more relaxed and feel more confident.  I also watched some youtube videos that made me feel  more relaxed and gave me more confidence.
