Modern Family's season two finale was entitled "See You Next Fall" because, of course, this is the last Pritchett family reunion for the rest of the summer. The episode started off weak, but gained some steam with a growing Spanish joke and some growing pains all around.

When the episode opens we discover that Alex, the Dunphy's middle child, is graduating from middle school and has to give a valedictorian speech. Really? Middle school valedictorians? They do that? Phil steps in to give Alex some pointers by reciting his high school Spanish Club campaign speech.

Meanwhile at the Pritchett house, Jay returns home from a visit to the dermatologist with one droopy eyelid. Manny thinks he may have had a stroke, but Jay confides to the camera that he let the doctor talk him into botox. Now he feels like a dumbass. Gloria is inclined to agree.

The Dunphys and the Pritchetts plan to carpool to Alex's graduation ceremony from Jay's house, but Jay's fancy gate gets stuck leaving the whole family trapped in Jay's backyard. Phil and Claire fear they'll miss Alex's speech, so they jump the fence and take off on a tandem bike. On the way there, the chain breaks on the bicycle and Claire starts to have a meltdown. Once again, Phil and his Spanish save the day.

In the end, everyone makes it to the graduation in time to hear Alex's speech. Alex decides to heed her sister Haley's advice and not tell off her entire class in hopes that she can make a fresh start in high school with an actual social life. Jay seems to have learned to accept the aging process rather than ever botox again. Haley begins a new, closer phase of her relationship with Claire and Phil as Alex begins her adolescent distancing. For some reason Cameron, Mitchell and Lily didn't have very big roles this week, but Cam did fall in a kiddie pool at the beginning of the episode only to learn that Mitchell has a penchant for physical comedy.

So that's the end of Modern Family for Season 2. Gloria and the gang will be back next fall, as the episode title suggests. Hopefully in Season 3 they'll step up the comedy game back to where it was in the first season. More Mitchell, more Cameron, and more Gloria and Manny, please!

    Your life as a student should be guided by a set of rules that guarantee your success and graduation and finding a good job fit with your university training. When I was a student our teachers gave us good advice, they told us to dream big and never give up. You have to picture you as an important valuable community pawn with a great career. In the end our dream will be fulfilled.

    I saw in the Modern family TV show some good political speeches that the politicians used them very often. They were very well written and had a strong message. You can recognize a strong personality of how he talks. A speech is a person's mark that he/she leave to his/her fellows.

    The social media has a great impact on the students' education and on the adolescent sexual lives. You can even find your first job on Facebook or Google Plus, for instance. The impact can be both ways, bad or wrong. If you are a smart person, you will know what information to use from the social media and what information to let them out of your life.

    To achieve your goals first you have to improve yourself, to become that person that you always wanted to be. I believe there is never an end to the journey of self improvement. And there are many ways to do that, you only have to find them. Like this I see the TV show, they had to take a break to start fresh and to find ways to improve it.

    How did you manage to renovate your house in such a short period of time? I usually advise the owner to consult an architect before he starts doing something important in his house. But I am thinking to buy some tools for home improvements and start remodel the entire house, without any specialist advice.

    Our world is changing very fast. We use more and more the internet, for work, for amusement, for study, for reading or watching films online and so on. For instance I can not do my work without a computer. Everything that I need is in my new laptop. I am grateful for this progress.
