Se vale todo menos quitarse
Karla es una chica emprendedora que como toda una latina le encanta aventurar la isla y viajar por el mundo. Es una chica que ni el diagnostico de la Esclerosis Múltiple la ha podido detener.
La Esclerosis Múltiple es una condición neurodegenerativa y crónica que afecta el cerebro y la médula ósea. Esta condición se caracteriza por ser una donde el sistema inmunológico ataca la mielina, que es el material que rodea y protege células nerviosas. Esto entonces ocasiona que el mensaje deseado no llegue a tiempo o no llegue en ningún momento al cerebro.
Actualmente, no se conoce la causa ni la cura para la esclerosis múltiple, pero se sabe que es una enfermedad autoinmune, que significa que el cuerpo ataca sus propios tejidos. La mayoría de las personas comienzan a experimentar síntomas en las edades entre 20 y 40 años. Esta condición puede causar una variedad de síntomas por lo que se le conoce "la enfermedad de las mil caras" ya que cada paciente puede experimentar síntomas completamente distintos.
Algunos de estos sintomas pueden ser: visión borrosa, fatiga, adormecimiento de las extremidades, entre otras cosas. No obstante, esta aún no se puede pronosticar, pero algunos factores por lo que los doctores la pueden identificar es a través de exámenes físicos, neurológicos o resonancias magnéticas.
Al igual existen distintos tipos de esclerosis múltiples en el que se ve la variedad de síntomas a través de distintos pacientes. Es decir, los síntomas pueden empeorarse o desaparecer por un tiempo. También, pueden ocurrir lo que se conocen como recaídas donde los síntomas pueden empeorar o surgir distintos a los ya conocidos.
En esta ocasión Karla se encuentra entre el diagnóstico de primaria y secundaria progresiva lo que significa que tiene sus momentos de mejoría, pero con las recaídas progresan los síntomas y surgen nuevos. Sin embargo, esto no ha detenido a Karla sino que ha sido motor para ella trabajar aún mas fuerte para cumplir uno de sus sueños: viajar el mundo y abrir su propia tienda.
Karla como todos sufrió muchos cambios, pero conjunto a ellos encontró su nuevo lema de vida "se vale todo menos quitarse" y así ha hecho. Ha realizado todo manteniendo un balance y es lo que la ayuda a lograr muchas de sus aventuras. Así mismo, ella se ha convertido en portavoz de personas con esta condición y todos en general, participando en eventos como 3K y el Teleton SER en Puerto Rico.

Karla is an enterprising girl who, like a whole Latina, loves to venture the island and travel the world. She is a girl that not even the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis has been able to stop her. Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, neurodegenerative condition that affects the brain and bone marrow. This condition is characterized by being one where the immune system attacks myelin, which is the material that surrounds and protects nerve cells. This then causes that the desired message does not arrive on time or does not reach the brain at any time. Currently, there is no known cause or cure for multiple sclerosis, but it is known to be an autoimmune disease, which means that the body attacks its own tissues. Most people begin to experience symptoms between the ages of 20 and 40. This condition can cause a variety of symptoms for which it is known "the disease of the thousand faces" since each patient can experience completely different symptoms. Some of these symptoms can be: blurred vision, fatigue, numbness of the limbs, among other things. However, it cannot be predicted yet, but some factors by which doctors can identify it is through physical, neurological or MRI examinations. Likewise, there are different types of multiple sclerosis in which the variety of symptoms is seen through different patients. That is, the symptoms may get worse or go away for a while. Also, what are known as relapses can occur where symptoms may worsen or arise different from those already known. On this occasion Karla is between the diagnosis of progressive primary and secondary, which means that she has her moments of improvement, but with relapses the symptoms progress and new ones appear. However, this has not stopped Karla but has been the engine for her to work even harder to fulfill one of her dreams: to travel the world and open her own store. Karla, like everyone else, underwent many changes, but together with them she found her new life motto "you can do anything, but quit" and she has done so. She has done everything while maintaining balance and it is what helps her accomplish many of her adventures. Likewise, she has become a spokesperson for people with this condition and everyone in general, participating in events such as 3K and Teleton SER in Puerto Rico.

What interests me about finding the character of a local meeting place is how a broad idea becomes part of an ordinary day. An ordinary conversation can become part of the reason people remember a place. For Anchor Pub, I would use local pub culture as a starting point for a closer discussion of the subject. It leaves me curious about the steps between understanding an idea and putting it into practice. What makes a local meeting spot feel welcoming to a first-time visitor?
Thinking about building a personal connection with words, I find the smaller practical questions more interesting than a quick conclusion. A single remembered detail can give a short piece of writing a clearer sense of place. That is why the connection between Premioletterarioluisaronconi and reading and creative writing makes me want to think through an example. I would be interested in an example that shows how the idea works in an ordinary situation. What would you keep when shortening a story without losing its atmosphere?
There is something approachable about discussing practising English through everyday tasks through situations people can actually picture. A realistic task can give a learner a reason to use a phrase rather than only recognise it. It gives me a more concrete starting point for thinking about English language skills. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. Which everyday situations offer useful practice for a beginner?
I find building confidence in continuing education easier to think about when there is a concrete question to start from. A manageable first assignment can help learners understand the pace and expectations of a course. This is why I would approach continuing education skills with a specific question rather than a fixed expectation. The part I would like to explore further is what happens when the idea meets a real situation with its own limitations. What kind of introduction would make a new learning environment easier to approach?
My first thought about exploring cultural memory through monuments is that the everyday experience deserves as much attention as the larger explanation. A monument can prompt questions about which stories a community chooses to preserve. That is the kind of detail I would keep in mind while exploring cultural monument education. I would probably come back to this question after trying to work through one concrete example rather than deciding immediately. How can learners discuss a memorial while recognising different perspectives on its meaning?
