My Favorite Meal


My favorite Meal is dinner because I like to eat pierogi. This dinner I make almost ones a week. First I must buy white cheese in Ukraine store then came to home and cook potato and bake onion. When potato and onion I ready I put the potato, onion and chesses to bowl to mix with salts, pepper and vegeta adds flavor to it. Then I mix flour, eggs and water to make pastry. Next step is use water glass to make round shape pastry. After all I put everything inside the round shape pastry and stick in shape of a half circle. And last step is boiling pierogi in hot water until they came up on top. The pierogi is very delicious and smell very nice. After cooking I have a lot cleaning because a flour is everywhere, but I like cooking this dinner because my all family like this dinner.

Tolera
In my country couples get married in church. Men are usually 20-25years old when they get married women are usually 18-25years old. When they get married, In my country the marriages are not arranged by parents. For the wedding the bride wears a white dress and nice shoes and groom wears a black suit. The parents of groom and bride pay for the wedding. The guests give flowers, cards and money. Husband and wife wear rings on the right hand on the ring finger. Bride always takes husband’s family name. Not everybody goes on a honey moon. Sometimes couples live with a family if they don’t have enough money to buy a new house. The divorce does not happen after in my country. One of the superstations says that he groom shouldn’t see a bride before a wedding day. In church one special person gives advice to the groom and bride.

Nursing School

Nurses are in very high demand. Hospitals, clinics, and allied health facilities are clamoring for nurses and are willing to pay top dollar for individuals even with entry-level experience. There are several methods of earning your nursing degree, which includes either a one-year diploma, two year associates, four year bachelor's degree, or a master's of science in nursing that can be used to become a nurse practitioner. There are many specialties to choose from, such as obstetrics working with sick infants or geriatric helping the elderly.

Other areas of interest include:
• Travel nursing in which you can choose to work in any location in the nation that you want. Assignment are generally 8 to 26 weeks then you can move on to the next location.
• Military nurses work in the armed forces and can work world-wide.
• Forensic nurses work with law enforcement, documenting injuries, collecting DNA evidence, council victims, conduct physical exams, and act as professional witnesses.
• Legal nurses can work as consultants and become expert witnesses in medical malpractice and personal injury cases.
• Surgical nurses prepare patients for surgery, assist surgeons in the operating room, and monitor the patient's vital signs.
As a nurse, you will have the opportunity to work in a hospital, health clinic, rehabilitation center, healthcare insurance, or other related fields, or as a teacher if you get your master's degree. Nursing is no longer considered a profession dominated by women. Men have become a prominent presence in the field and have the same opportunities to make a great living in a fulfilling and lucrative career.

Traditional Wedding in my Country

In my country we have a traditional wedding. The man should walk to the bride’s house.
He must have money because the people who have his girl ask for the money.
Then they have to go to the church. In church they do the same thing as American church.
When the church ceremony is over they do to the groom’s house and have a party.
During the party they kiss. Depending on how long they kiss means how long they are doing to live together. While they are kissing all the people are counting. Some people can sing at the party. Some dance. Family members can sit by the couple. Young couples can dance on one chair until they fall down. Then family members steal the bride and hide her. The groom has to find her and pay money for her. And then the couple has time for themselves.
