About Me

    Hello! My name is Angel Garcia and I am 18 years old. This semester is my first semester as a college student, so I am a bit excited to see what the future beholds. I love to admire nature and her beauty, so I enjoy spending time outside. Ah, not during the Summer though, I only enjoy the outdoors during Winter. You might be wondering "Now why is that?" Well, during the Summer season, the heat makes me feel really lethargic and lazy. So I rarely step outside when it's hot. Winter is the opposite for me. The cold makes me feel vitalized and very enthusiastic. I often play with my two dogs, Brownie and Bennie, outside during the Winter. Here they are! Brownie is on the left and Bennie on the right.



    As far as my interests are concerned, I never really thought about that. It's more like everything is my interest. Everything that I do, I enjoy doing it. I don't remember a time where I have done something that I didn't find enjoyable. Well, it's more like I never have problems or any qualms with what I have to do, which might sound weird, so let me provide an example. I said before that we have two dogs, and just like any living being, they excrete waste. My younger sister really does not like cleaning up their waste, while I don't mind it at all. I feel neutral about all things; that, or I enjoy it.

    My hobbies include reading and cooking/baking. Although I enjoy to cook and bake, that doesn't mean I'm any good at it. When it comes to reading, it has to be a good book that I enjoy reading. Reading for enjoyment does not mean I will enjoy reading just anything. The book must be interesting and fun! Here is a picture of the book I am currently reading. Someone doubted that I actually read books before so...yeah.


This book really doesn't appeal to me though, so I might drop it. A book I really enjoyed reading was Noble Man, by William Miller. Now that I think about it, I read quite a few enjoyable books during quarantine. Noble Man was the most fun and memorable though.

    I don't have any pet peeves...wait! I lied. I do have one pet peeve, the only one I have. I remembered about it because it happened to me just now. I really enjoy listening to music, and my pet peeve is when the music is cut off for whatever reason. It makes me feel robbed, or betrayed when that happens. This feeling is amplified even further when the song is getting to the good part, then bam! It cuts off. I enjoy listening to emotional music. Music that has me feeling a certain way. Lately, I have been listening to a lot of instrumentals and they make me emotional. For example, this one makes me feel very sad, but at the same time I can't help but want to bust out some moves. I'm not good at dancing by the way. This one too, makes me feel sad, but I also want to jam it out at the same time. My point is, I really like music.

    At this moment I don't have any goals besides passing all my classes. I will work hard to accomplish that. I also never though about what is unique about myself. Perhaps it is my overwhelming patience. I am a very optimistic person, so I never get angry or upset, but I do get sad. I was told numerous times before by different people that they have never seen me get angry before. I remember once when a family member did something very bad to me, but I still wasn't upset. I won't get into specific details but I remember they said, and I quote, "You're supposed to be angry with me, you know." I remember this line clearly because I remember that I was very confused at the time. I didn't know what I wanted, nor did I know what they had meant. To be honest, I still don't know why they would want me to be angry. 

    Until now, this has been Angel Garcia. Thank you for taking the time to read through my very first blog, and until next time!

    Hi Angel, while reading this entry I realized we have some things in common! I do not like to do much in the heat either. Especially living in Arizona where it can be up to 120 degrees :( But I do enjoy swimming while it is hot because well... you cannot really do that in winter unless you are extremely brave. I also enjoy listening to music and yes it is very annoying when a song cuts off in the middle. I am looking forward to reading more from you!

Entry #10: The Way I learned to Swim

       S wimming is a fun activity and exercise that anyone can enjoy. But not many people know how to swim, at least, people that I am acquainted with. I am pretty sure people from lands overseas learn to swim at a young age. Regardless, that was not the case for me. Nobody taught me how to swim, I did not practice swimming in shallow waters either, but nevertheless, I learned to how to swim at the age of eleven. It was like magic, I tell you.     W hen I was eleven, I lived in an apartment complex, and I became close friends with a few people that were near my age. I was the type that spent all my time outside roaming around the neighborhood of apartment. I pretty much knew the way around like I know the difference between addition and subtraction. There was a public pool near where I lived, and one day, my friends and I decided to go swimming. The pool was a pretty standard pool. Just a giant rectangle that was five feet deep. For me at the age of eleven...

Entry #9: Is it Wrong to Eat Animals?

  I t seems there are two types of people roaming through Earth; one that likes eating meat, and who could not care any less for the animal, and the other that refrains from eating meat out of compassion for the animal. That is it. There is no other type. However, relying solely on these two types does not provide sufficient reason or data to determine if eating animals is wrong in the first place. Therefore, instead of looking at the statistics of carnivores compared to herbivores found in the human population, we need to think a bit more irrationally. Humans are a type of animal, and in the natural world, animals eat animals for one reason- to survive. However, humans are special, in that they can choose to eat only a diet consisting of plants, and they can survive just as well as any other person. Therefore, there can be only one conclusion. Eating animals is not wrong, per se. However, what is wrong is the practice and process the humans put the animals through to "ready"...

Entry #4: Moral of the Story

       H ave you ever read a book that not only leaves you thinking about the lesson long after you finish reading, but also encourages you to incorporate the moral of the story into your own life? Whether you answered yes or no, fact of the matter is that I have experienced exactly what I described when I read The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas. I will attempt to provide a brief overview of the story as context before I get to the moral.     T he main character of the book is a sailor by the name of Edmond  Dantès. He was a very bright and cheerfully happy young man, and he was also very naïve. Edmond was very successful, and he was going to be promoted to captain of the Pharaon. In the time the book takes place, being the captain of a ship was quite rewarding, financially. He also had a very beautiful fiancé, whose charms were revered by the townspeople. Basically, he had a very good life ahead of him. Naturally, such a person who "has it ...
