LA MÁQUINA DE HACER CUENTOSLa Piedra Filosofal de la Literatura. (87 Cuentos Originales) El concepto de la máquina de hacer cuentos fue ideado por primera vez en la Antigua Sumeria, y desde allí se esparció al resto del mundo, primero entre los intelectuales como una idea novedosa, y finalmente entre la población analfabeta, que confundió la invención original por una piedra capaz de hacer cualquier cosa, incluso de transformar los metales ordinarios en oro.En este libro el lector encontrará relatos salidos de la máquina de hacer cuentos, y podrá experimentar su evolución en el tiempo, estilos y géneros.

I have made it my mission in life to assist parents and their children to navigate the challenging and complex processes of student finance for over 25 years. My passion stems from my personal experience of having been a first generation high school graduate going to college back in the early 80's who had no idea how financial aid process worked. After high school, I completed the paper Free Application for Federal Student Aid because I was told to do it by my counselor. I went to the college financial aid office. I was instructed that I would get a loan for $2625.00 and my parents needed to borrow a PLUS loan. The total cost per term was approximately $3500.00 for a total of $7,000.00 for the year. As a result, I did not go to college right away because I did believed that I could afford it. I was too proud to ask if there were other options. I did not know what questions to ask. I just did not understand the process. I gave up and walked away. After 9 years of going to college and working, I finally decided to go back to school full-time. I got a job at the financial aid office as a work-study and learned how the process worked, I looked up my old file to see the total tuition cost with books to go to the university per term. The cost was varied from $300 to $1000 per term for books and tuition. What I failed to tell the clerk or the clerk failed to ask me was where I was going to live. The clerk assumed I would be living in student housing and quoted me the cost of living on campus. I lived approximately 25 miles from the university and was planning to commute to college. Fortunately, my ignorance and embarrassment as a young high school kid and the clerk's misinformation set me down a different path. A path that was meant for me to be able to achieve amazing opportunities and impact the lives of many students and their parents. In this book where I commit to pay it forward, I provide answers to questions on financial aid processes and funds, guidance on career exploration and where to go to get information to help you not make the same mistakes others have in your journey to getting college financing. This book was designed to give you and your parents a base foundation to feel confident when you are starting to approach your high school counselors and financial aid personnel at colleges and universities.

A simple question and answer book that will assist parents and students to navigate the challenging financial aid process. This book provides questions to answers that many parents and students do not know and will increase your knowledge. It contains the culmination of life experiences that I have encountered working with students and parents over decades at six colleges and universities throughout the country. Be prepared when you approach the college and/or university you are intending to attend. This book will provide you the confidence about the subject matter of financial aid to help you ask the right questions resulting with less anxiety about financing your education.

The family unit as we know it, is disintegrating before our eyes. Why is this an alarming problem? Because it is the family unit that shapes and molds us into the individuals that we are today.In this book I try to share with you not only my triumphs and successes but, my hardships and failures as well.Born into an Hispanic family, life has given me a unique perspective of the world around us. It has engulfed me with the good and bad of what our society has to offer. On the negative side, I have tried to dismiss the stereotyping that unavoidably is attached to my race. I have tried to overcome the prejudices that still linger today. On the positive side, I have learned to appreciate and respect the wonderful customs and traditions that my culture permeates.As an adolescent, my parents instilled in me the value of growing up in the Catholic faith. As an athlete, my father taught me the value of hard work, grit, and determination. As a teacher, my brother Doug, taught me the value of shaping and molding the minds of our youth. As a coach, I learned the values of being a man of integrity-adhering always to a code of moral conduct. "Be a man of your word," my father would always tell me. "Be a role model and be willing to lead by example." As a senior citizen, I have learned to appreciate the life that God has blessed me with.I ask you now, what defines you as an individual? How do you react to the ups and downs in your life? How will you navigate the twists and turns that life drops at your doorstep? Go forth and make a difference in the world!!!
