Our Epic Foolishness: I believe we don't act when we think. For example: When you start a fight which you know you can't win. We as citizens shouldn't be causing these problems. We should be carefully thinking these plans out. Instead, we go ahead with it anyway without any caution. Therefore, We have to thoroughly think of a solution. Now instead of wasting all this extra on a solution. We should have taken the time to throughly think out and properly execute the plan. A problem only starts when heads don't come together with a solution.

May 20 Oil Spill

In summary, the Obama administration didn't look at the consequences of offshore sea drilling and how it can cause damage. Sadly it has caused damage as animals which come in contact with this won't be able to perform their natural abilities and the oil is very thick to get off the animal's body. In Conclusion, I don't support this because there was a warning probably said a couple of months before the catastrophe but someone ignored it. Therefore I am not in support.

May 17th PSA

1.) I say the first video was most effective because one it shows what can happen visually and listening and we all know the deadly results it can have if we don't take that extra 5 seconds to click it.
2.) I will making a PSA
3.) "Going Green, Keeps our air clean"

One way we can strengthen our partnership is spend more time with them to better understand their culture just as if we were born in that culture

April 23 Do Now

Every Day is Earth Day for Peace Corps Volunteers
1.) I didn't know people give up their time just to help our earth which we destroy
2.) They use the bottles — which were cleaned and filled with plastic bags, chip wrappers, aluminum, and Styrofoam discarded in the community — as an alternative to cinder block.
3.) I didn't think former Peace Corps Volunteers would use Earth Day as a day to reflect their personal experience to get others involved
4.) I never knew there was a way to items which were used properly in a unique way which might at times seem complex

April 6 Do Now

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity was said by Martin Luther King Jr. By Martin Luther King Jr, a civil rights activist, saying made the statement a KO blow to society. This statement is for us humans to understand that no-one is perfect yet we are all created equal.

Be the change you wish to see in the world. This statement is saying if you wish to see change you must start with yourself. As humans we are at times blind to what we say we hate and at times we haves our eyes wide open as we commit that hatred act which we complain about. But to start change it must start with thyself to truly understand the value of life. Afterwards we must apply that to ourself in the future to truly see and later understand change. I guess it is almost like a domino effect. One good task creates two good tasks and then into 4, etc... But the point is you can't just sit down and wish to a shooting star what you want to change. You have to take a stand and be a leader to start a change if not then the story will be repeated.

Magnet Schools In Philadelphia

I believe if this plan falls through, Ackerman just made the Public School system more easier and also can be with a few flaws. I believe someone who failed major subjects as a requirement to get into that high school will be disastrous. I disagree with this plan as it would discourage some honor-role students at their good grades and make them feel all the work they did was all for nothing. This plan would not help the present or the past, it will only help the future.

Haiti

My reaction to this video is heartbreaking. No-one deserves to go through this much pain and suffering in very little time. This is probably the worst natural disaster since Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans is still trying to recover. Haiti is now entering Step 1 of the long-term healing process, by first making sure if they're love ones are either dead or alive. After that is the rebuilding process which will take many years and they'll need help. I believe Philadephia is doing a great job in the wake of Haiti because everywhere I've been at or going there is an organization getting ready to help Haiti by asking the public for money. I believe it is a great step forward but to better improve on this, I believe there should be a city-wide fundraising process. Overall, though I've been hearing emotional stories about Haiti where some are good and some are bad, and right now Haiti is going to through pain & sorrow and the US is helping them and their quick response to this natural disaster shows how much they care about a country outside the USA

My current school year

With the month of January 2010, I feel now more relieved and excited about the rest of the year. 1.) is because NHD is now over. 2.) My classes are more easier for me as Biology was a subject I struggled in. But now my classes will be more easier for me. The first half of the school year was rough, but I know the 2nd half will be as better. Right now I'm currently happy here @ CHS
