After receiving my orders, the food would appear on the table automatically, then I’d enjoy it! Did you have the chance to see The Jetsons?(Los Supersónicos) a cartoon that presented many things that are real now. One of them was the food.

Don't forget to leave a comment on the teacher's post + 3 of your classmates posts. - Word Count for post 4: 200 words My son’s kinesiology doctor is Argentinian and when she received my son he was only crawling with no hope of walking.

  POST  3.Topic: Themed/Free post - career related Dear students. In this session the topic is free but themed and the theme will be about your profession. -positive aspects -benefits -why you chose it, etc. -180 words Remember your comments Changing Lives and Caring Too Much Teaching is a profession where you really can make a difference in a child’s life, oftentimes profoundly. You are with children for a good part of the day, longer than their parents are, in most cases. Young children, especially, will look at you as a role model and repeat what you say and do.

You are with other people's children longer than you are
