The health Department should have more programs for obesity so less people will die every year in America. Programs should show do more exercise everyday and educate us how to eat healthy with the Healthy Pyramid. We need to provide this kind of programs because obesity is a big problem in America.
Obesity in America is a big problem because people do not eat healthy foods. They eat foods with lo cholesterol and calories. McDonalds is where many people go to eat because it is a fast food Restaurant. Many people don’t have time to eat because they work a lot.
This is bad for our kids, because in the future the can have heart problems. They eat a lot of junk food that transfer to their body cholesterol and trasn fat is grease that you to body that’s make obesity.
Many of our kids are also getting fat because they don’t exercise enough. Most of the kids spend their time watching television and playing video games. That’s why our kids are overweight.

My New Home In Minnesota
I was very young when I left Mexico. I flew from Mexico to Los Angeles, California. My brother was waiting for me in the airport. He’s been living in this country for 20 years. When I was in California for these 3 days I really enjoy it because he brought me to this nice restaurant where they serve the best food from my town in Mexico.
My second flight was in October from Los Angeles, California to Minnesota. I was so freaked out because it was very cold here, and Mexico is a very hot place. I remember it was Halloween, Oct 31st of 1998, when for the first time in my life I saw the snow. It was white and beautiful.
It wasn’t too difficult for me to adapt in Minnesota. My brother was here to help to find a school to learn English. My only problem was the English language. I know that I always have a strong accent. I am taking classes at the MLC school to improve my English. I really like this class because I met students from other countries.
I like my job in the hospital but it is always stressful because I see sick people, burning kids, and people dying. It’s very sad to see this everyday. I never thought that I would working in a hospital here in Minnesota and speaking English because when I came from Los Angeles it was only a vacation!

Dear Sir or Madame,
I am interested in applying for the Room Service position. I have included my resume for your consideration.
I would love to work in this position, because I like to take care of patients and help them to get what services they need. I want to make them feel comfortable and help support them with their needs and concerns so that they are happier. For Spanish speaking patients, I would be able to translate any questions they might have about their nutrition and diets from their doctor’s prescriptions. I feel that this support is very important.
I believe that this would be a great opportunity for me, because I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I could serve a greater number of patients because of this. I am currently taking some English as a Second language classes at the MLC Learning Center-Rondo to further improve my English for this position. I have my high school diploma, and I plan on going to St. Paul Community College for a Spanish Interpreter degree. This job would allow me to use these skills to great benefit.
I have been working at H.C.M.C for 2 years in the cafeteria helping Spanish speaking patients order food and translating what they are looking for. I also helped Spanish speakers find departments where they had appointments with intake staff. I have experience using patient and employee accounts to charge food at the register, so I understand the importance of record-keeping. I am a very quick leaner and a hard worker. I always want to learn more to serve people better. I have an excellent attendance record and have worked double shifts. Supervisors have relied on me to substitute when other workers have called in sick.
I look forward to telling you more about myself. To schedule an interview, please contact me at (612)703-5579.
Sincerely,
Patricia M. Guerrero
