MY Children

My children

I am committed to God for giving me such a precious treasure like my children to me, they are the people I love most in this world, they are for my morning light, for they break and are the reason I live, without them my life would be dark, and bitter they brighten my life and keep me alive, thank god for giving me the privilege of carrying in my belly these two treasures, ALEX AND NICAURY.

WRITING ADVENTURE 2012-2

Welcome to the Writing Adventure at the end of Semester 2012-2 at Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (Autonomous University in Santo Domingo), San Francisco de Macorís Precinct. This is one of the smallest classes I have ever had. We had a great time anyway. Francisco and Nidio did such a great job. I hope you read their papers in earlier posts. Take a look at those writers posting their work on our Bulletin Board.

                                                         Some revision is usually necessary.

                                                                There the writers go.

                                                              They clean the mess first.

                                                                   Team work is the best.

                              Francisco (to the left) and Nidio (to the right) make such a good team.

                              Here is Francisco posting his paper. You can read it in an earlier post.

                                      

                                Nidio posts his paper. Are you curious? Read it in an earlier post.

                     These are me, Máximo (The guide through the writing adventure) and Francisco.

                                                                     Me and Nidio.
                 Finally,  the three of us were so happy with all we learned along this writing adventure.

DEAR STUDENTS AT RECINTO SAN FRANCISCO DE MACORIS, UASD

Hi,

My greetings to you all. I am typing this message at 4:26 p.m. The latest information about the teachers  strike is that authorities changed their meeting time. This morning, I was informed that it would be in the afternoon. I think we will not have class today either. Thus, keep paying attention the news reports. I hope we can have class tomorrow.

Take care

MAXIMO

TO ALL MY STUDENTS AT RECINTO SAN FRANCISCO DE MACORIS, UASD:

I hope you all are fine. The latest information I have about the university professors strike is that the authorities will meet today at 10:00 a.m. I hope a solution to the conflict will result from that meeting. As soon as the strike is over, I will drive to San Francisco de Macorís and start teaching. I recommend you to watch the news and be alert.

Take good care of yoursrlves
