Fear
This shows how the fear for heights is a difficult thing to overcome. That is a problem I have, an which I hate because I love the adrenaline of roller coasters, but this makes me be scared.

Happiness
To win first place on a tournament is the best feeling ever. It is pure happiness. It also causes me happiness, when my favorite team, Barcelona, wins the championship.

TOK IB Assessment Blog
Topic: “Doubt is the key to knowledge” (Persian Proverb). To what extent is this true in two areas of
knowledge?
Opinion: In History and in Natural Sciences, doubt has become the key to knew findings, which influence knowledge.
Support #1:
During the period of Christopher Columbus, the theory that the Earth was flat was still going around, so sailors were afraid to sail more than what they simply saw with their eyes (the horizon). This had the doubt to to see if they could find a shorter way in going to India, and when sailing for this they got to what is now known America. Doubt encouraged them to keep looking, and took them to a new world, which influenced in a huge extent to knowledge in the previous days.
Support #2:
The Chicxulub Crater
After paleontologists discovered fossils of prehistoric dinosaurs, a huge doubt grew on the reptiles' disappearance, and they knew that there was a cause for it. Geologists then decided to study the soil to see if they could come up with an answer to their question. They finally did, and by this idea, we can see how doubt has again helped achieve better knowledge on the Natural Sciences.

Historical Reasoning
Honduran ex-President Manuel Zelaya was opting for a "Cuarta Urna", or a forth voting urn, so citizens had another option in voting. This was just a point of view he had, and tried to convince the country to accept this and try to use it as a new rule in the constitution. On "his point of view", this would benefit all of us because now we could chose is a president could reelect (if he had a good presidency). This ended up making the year 2009 a year of crisis in Honduras, since all press turned completely against the truth about Zelaya being taken to Nicaragua on June 28, 2009. This has been a "military coup", which was a complete rumor.

On the present year, 21st Century, the idea of Biopetroleum has been a big boom in society. This was supposed to diminish the damages that were made by the normal petroleum to the ozone layer, since, per say, it was slightly artificial and made instead by corn. This was good until people started noticing that the cost of the basic food basket started raising. This is bad for most of the people in lower social classes since its a basic food for them, and an increase in cost might amazing affect their economy and even health.

"The United States, in the 1980's, illegally sold missil Osama es to Bin Laden in order for him to use against the Russians in Afghanistan. This suddenly turned around, when Osama Bin Laden turned out to be the leader of the 2001 World Trade Center attack."

How My Mom Chose Maria Fernanda
When I first found out I was pregnant at the beginning of march of 1993 of course I did not know if it would be a boy or a girl. But I thought that if it was a boy we would name him Gabriel after his father and I knew that if it was a girl I would not name her after me because my name, Giovanna, has always been difficult for others to write and pronounce correctly. Later on we found out that it was a girl and our name search began. First we liked Valeria, since my backgrounds are Italian, I wanted an Italian name easy to say and write, but that name was too common those days and that made me change my mind. We also liked Natalia like for a month and Camila for another month, but always at the end when I pictured her with those names it did not make click. And so we continued looking for the perfect name for our little baby girl. We knew we wanted Maria after Virgen Mary for the first or second name. So we decided Maria Fernanda was our perfect name for our baby girl. Fernanda means adventurous and daring. We loved how it sounded, strong and clear. Maria Fernanda Ayon Dicunta is now my daughte's name.
