Blogging is a powerful platform for expressing your thoughts and making a meaningful contribution to the world. When faced with numerous ideas, I often ponder the question posed by William Shakespeare: “To be, or not to be, that is the question?” For me, it’s “To blog, or not to blog?” How can we share collaborative learning strategies to achieve this goal? Upon reflection on whether to blog or not, the answer became clear to me: collaborative learning strategies through alternative learning. By paraphrasing Shakespeare’s ‘To Be or Not to Be’, we can address literature that is not often touched upon in school and collaborate and learn together. Even after retiring, I felt a strong desire to make a difference. While pickleball is enjoyable, I seek more fulfillment.
Blogging is a wonderful opportunity for me to share my ideas and experiences, and I hope to inspire others in the process. With so much to express and so many people to connect with, I truly believe there has never been a better time for me to share my thoughts and insights with the world. I’m eager to contribute in meaningful ways and have been reflecting on my initial experience since arriving here.

Introduction
I’d like to introduce you to Carlos, a tenacious learner with an unwavering spirit. At the tender age of 11, he arrived in the United States, navigating a new world filled with unfamiliar sights and sounds, all while grappling with a language he did not understand. Undeterred by the language barrier that stood before him, Carlos embraced a proactive approach to mastering English. With a keen eye for innovative learning methods, he turned to movies and comic books, immersing himself in vibrant stories and colorful illustrations. These engaging tools not only broadened his vocabulary but also sharpened his critical thinking skills, allowing him to connect with and understand the intricacies of his new environment. Through determination and creativity, Carlos transformed challenges into opportunities, paving his way toward achieving his dreams.
Carlos frequently visited the library to read books, and when he had the financial means, he also enjoyed watching movies. His deep appreciation for literature was cultivated by his grandfather, who introduced him to renowned authors, including Dumas, Dickens, Twain, and Burroughs. Additionally, Carlos developed an interest in comic books, which he prefers to call graphic novels. Through his dedication to reading and a solid commitment to learning, Carlos enhanced his language skills and achieved his educational goals.
