Global warming

I think that recycling and taking care of the enviorment is a good thing and that this issue has been ignored for far to long, but I don't think that it as dier of a situation as everyone has crtacked it up to be. I think that alot of it is just a natural phase that the earth goes through sometimes, and that part of it is induced by humans and our obnoxious careless and selfish ways,but the silver lining is that people are finally starting to pull their heads out of their buts and do something about it.

First 2 week reflection

Well we are back at school and I am getting used to doing homework and stuff again. Not a lot is going on in my life right now, except I made New Years resoulutions to lose weight and I got a gym membership and I am waking up in the mornings to to go work out, so I am going to try to keep that up!

Technology

I use a ton of technology everyday. I wake up in the morning to my clock radio alarm clock and then I use the plumbing for my shower and then a hair dryer and curling iron, straightening iron, whatever i'm in the mood for, and then I user my toaster and take milk out of my refrigerator, then I get in my car. I go to school where I text on my cell phone, then I go home and talk on my home phone, use my computer and watch TV. Technology is a huge part of my everyday life. If I had to live without my computer or cell phone it would be a disaster of apoctalytic proportions, and thus I am putting those items in there with being as important an invention as fire.

The Blog Project

At first I didn't think that this was all that practical of an idea. I really suck when it comes to computers, and when I saw the Koren kids Blogs I was very intimidated, but I did get to comment on Mikey from Austrailia and even people from Anderson. Now that I have the Hang of things I think that this is all really cool, and I see how it can connect people from different cultures!!

America's Diversity

I think that America is very diverse, it was built on immigrants. The immigrants that first came to America were mainly Europeans, but there are also Native Americans, African Americans, immigrants from South America and Mexico, Austrailia, and Asia. Just in Anderson High School I know people that are from France and Kenya, and Brazil. I think that in America we are fairly understanding of different cultural backgrounds. There are different Holidays so that people of different Religions have the chance to observe them. Also we double tripple, and sometimes quadruple print things in different languages. We also have anti-descrimination laws so that no one can be refused a job for their ethnic background. Overall I think that America is very diverse.

Favorite places in America

Every summer my mom and I try to take a road trip. We have been to Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennese, Georgia, Mississippi,Washington DC, Florida, Alabama, and this summer we are going to go to Missouri, Kentucky, and Illinois. I ahve been to alot of attraction and seen alot of countryside, but I do have my favorites. I really loved seeing car henge. It is like stone henge, but they are cars spray painted grey. Mount Rushmore was really cool, because the weather was nice and it seemed like we were posing for postcards.In New Mexico and Tennese we went white water river rafting, and that was alot of fun. Also in Tennese I went to Graceland, Elvis' house, we rode horses, we saw the grand ol' oprey, and went to the wild horse saloon. I am really looking forward to going to Chicago this summer!!

P.S. we usually take our dog

Terrorist Attacks

In 2001 the World Trade Center in New York was attacked by Al Qaeda. Very many people had their futures taken from them that day, and many people lost loved ones.It is a day that will forever stand out in my mind. I was 7 years old when it happened, and I just remember that everywhere you went there was the footage. The planes crashe into those towers for days. That was all that was on the nes. And the news was pretty much the only thing that ever played on televisions. The pentagon was also attacked. Since then we have tightened security. It was a wake up call, and I hope that no one anywhere ever has to go through something like that ever again.
