My Street

As I turn right on Sebastopol Rd, I notice the difference to the rest of the city. As I turn onto the street, on my right I see a "taqueria", a mexican restaurant. Right across from it, I notice the new mexican market. I notice the sides of road a bit more messy compared to the rest of the streets in town. As I keep driving down, I notice two ice cream men with their carts, one on each side of the road. I hear the bells as I drive right past them. On the corner I see a "taco truck" with smoke coming out from the top of the truck. I see a bunch of jewlery stores. This street brings a lot of emotions and memories. When I'm on this street, I feel like I have been their most of my life, this is because it reminds me of the country where I was born. Not just me notices this street, but I am sure the rest of the town does as well.

The Monument and the Bungalow

I "The Monument and the Bungalow" essay to be very interesting. Throughout my life, I have never thought about learning the education of landscape. After reading this essay, I have already realized that my thoughts of landscaping have changed. Even though the only Job I have had in my live is working in landscaping, the thought of learning eduacation from it never came to me. I really enjoyed reading this essay because it had a lot of examples and questions of university teachers and students. Reading this essay made me think back about the work I have done in landscaping. In this essay when reading about the similar questions students and teachers had about how to teach reading landscape, it was very interesting to read the different ideas. Asking questions, in my opinion was the perfect way accomplish it. For example, when asking questions about landscape, it would be easy to respond.


This essay has showed me a different way to view landscape and I am looking forward to the next job site.

About Myself

Hey everyone, my name is Manuel Leon but I am known as Manny. This is my second year here at SRJC and I have enjoyed it so far. Soccer is my sport and I have been playing for about nine years now. I play here for the JC mens soccer team where one of my goals is to win it all this season. When I'm not in school or playing soccer I try to work as much as I could. I try to work so that my parents don't have to worry about spending their money on me. When I'm not in school, soccer or working, I enjoy going out and spending time with my family and friends. Family to me always comes first. My family has always been there for me, through good and bad. If it wasn't for them, who knows where I would be now. I also try to be as responsible as possible.

This is the second time that I take an online class and I'm looking forward to this class. Getting a good grade in this class is another one of my goals. I know that if I focus and don't let any distractions get the way, I will do well. Not only do I want to do well in this class but also in the rest of my class.
