My name is Karla Abreu and my pronouns are she/her.A personal details about me is that I like to play Volleyball a lot . One interest outside of my academic life is that I like to travel and I would love to travel a lot in the future.Something that I hope to learn in this class is about the different behaviors that a human has in society and how to study it. I like that the class is in person because for me it is better to learn this way but I even think that it makes the class more interesting and fun.
“Where I’m From” Poems
Discussion Board Post 2
I am from the Caribbean.
hot and tropical
blue like your beach
Small and bright like your star
Your beach and your rivers how they fill me.
They complement the blood that I carry in my veins
I’m from here like coqui. I don’t sing but I dance to the rhythm of you.
Plena and bomb is what there is for me!
My mestizo skin inherited it from you.
Soft, sweet and smooth like the shake of Christmas.
Strong and juicy like your pumarosas.
I’m from here and I didn’t choose it. But I still like being part of you.
I am far away but I still carry you inside.
I’m from here like the anvil, I’m from here like the iguanas
And I will always be from here.
You’re a part of me because that’s where I grew up.
You were everything to me, until I had to leave.

Exploratory Writing and Choosing Subcultures
Discussion Board Post 5
A subculture that interests me is drugs in adolescents because it is a very important issue for me. I am very interested in this topic because lately I have seen how it is normal for adolescents to use drugs. The majority of adolescents who consume it do so due to problems or stress or simply for recreation. I think this topic is very important because I feel that it is an orientation that we should all have. All young adults and adolescents will be able to know the effect that illicit substances have on their bodies. There are many people who do it for hobby, stress, depression or just see it as something fun and are influenced. It is crucial for young people in high school to know about these issues since we see many things happening and it would be good for everyone to have at least a basic education about what drugs are, where they come from, their long and short term effects. We all know that servants types of drugs in excess cause increases. For this added reason, there are many people who get lost on that path and do not know what to do and end up in bad situations. Not all drugs are bad, there are drugs like marijuana that are medicinal. They are also drugs that are sold in pharmacies that are medicines but they are more controlled but if they are taken in increase they can have an effect on you. We all know that everything is in excess. I would like to find places that offer talks and orientations about drugs to young people
Outpatients

The online community that Wu is trying to portray is factitious disorder (FD) is when the person has psychological problems that manifest as physical. For example, a person who always wants to take a pill or something hurts because for them he never feels good. A verbal portrait that I create of this community is always when he gets to be with another person he always talks about his problem to get that person’s attention. I could feel slight pain and they exaggerate it so that they worry about it, in other words, the person likes to attract attention. It is a disease that can be cultured but Wu mentions that the expectations are very low since they themselves are negative. But even so, it is better to treat it as quickly as possible because in the long term it is almost impossible to remedy it. That is why the reliable source is the doctor and medical articles that serve as an alert. People with this disorder usually feel unloved but this disease harms them because, as she once said, the person they have manipulated realizes that this disease is something more mental than the pain they usually have. People turn away and get angry because he feels cheated. The footnotes in Wu’s text is that she is part of this community. It’s easier to analyze since she can speak based on her own medical diagnosis and her experience. she also in a way she helps her to seek help since she has to read text based on this community and learns more about the community from her. Because sometimes the person is a part of something but they don’t really know much about what they are a part of.
