About myself

-
My name is Emilio Cantillo, i was born on  January 15, 2002 in Barranquilla, Colombia, i live with my mom and my dad, i am also an only child, currently i am studying at Lyndon B. Johnson school.
Before coming to this school, i studied at Colegio inter-americano , however i came here in 6th grade, in 2012. I tend to be calm and pay attention in class,  however, i tend to get angry and take things too seriously, i also get stressed very quickly when things don't work out my way, i am polite and respectful towards my teachers and my friends, i also tend to be shy when meeting new people. my favorite subjects are english, biology, and chemistry. I have lived in Barranquilla  for my whole life, however i have traveled to the United States several times, and have visited other parts of Colombia. I have a relatively small family with most of us living in Barranquilla, and a few living in the U.S.
I tend to spend my days at home, since i don't get out much, however i like to hang out with my friends when possible. I want to get good grades this year, so i hope everything works out fine.

CITIZENSHIP AND COMMITMENT This blog is about the presence of the values of citizenship and commitment in the poem called     "the raven" by Edgar allan poe, the poem overall has a very somber and depressing atmosphere, however hidden within the poem is an undertone that exemplifies this 2 values, the value of commitment is the most prevalent of the two values because the story is basically about the commitment the speaker has with his wife , because even if she has passed away , he is still loyal to her, even in death, this might be the driving reason for the author`s apparent seclusion from society, because he might see it as disrespectful towards his wife if he were to stop mourning for her, however if we analyze the story more closely, the apparent sense of "commitment" may appear to be on the brink of turning into obsession, due to the fact that the man cannot let go of the fact that his wife died, so he tries to mask his obsession with her with an apparent s

The topic of the story “Self Reliance” is being dependent on yourself, and learning how to break free from other people’s expectations and obligations, developing your potential as an individual person.

In "the tide rises the tide falls"  while the value of Fairness is not directly shown, there is a hidden meaning in the poem regarding fairness, because in the poem
