Today in class, we learned a little more background information about the story "A Message To Garcia." It was published in 1899, where it soon went viral. More than 14 million copies were sold, and two movies were made. Many looked to this as an inspirational story. It makes people stop and think of all the potential they have, but why they don't use it to their advantage. Most think, "It's not my job, can't you do it?" This is a bad way to look at your job. Are you going to be the person who makes their life miserable because they hate their job? But hey, it makes a lot of money so it's worth it right? Right? No. Don't be the person who spends their days counting them down. It's important to find a job that you enjoy, even if it doesn't make the salary you wished you had. I think this story does a good job at explaining this. This is also something we went over in class today, that I tend to think about a lot. I want to wake up everyday when I'm older and see it as a new start. Not a drag of the last day. I really believe that this is the key to happiness! Do you??? If everyone lived this way, life would be such a happier place to live.

Today's class was one of the most interesting ones we've had so far. Today's discussion focused mainly around what thinking globally and acting locally means. What do they mean? An example used in class today was farming. If everyone starting farming for their fruits and vegetables, it would affect grocery stores. Now of course the stores wouldn't go out of business, the fruits and vegetables rate being sold would increase. So in other words, something we did locally would effect globally. But besides this discussion we talked about our thoughts on voting. How more older people tend to vote more nowadays. This brought up the discussion of weather or not the age for kids to be able to start voting should be lowered to age 16. In my opinion, I think at this age we are too young and immature to be asked and vote for political affairs, because honestly everyone would just think the same as their parents. You hear kids arguing politically, but you know it's just them tal...

Research Kiva.org . Describe your findings, such as their goals, methods, efficiency, and reputation. Research potential borrowers. Find at least two borrowers and describe their business, their reasons for wanting a microloan, their past history, etc. Look at the big picture. Check out the city and country they live in, and describe what effect their location has on their need to borrow. Write your findings in an essay and post it to your blog. This should be a well-written, informative, and possibly inspirational essay that shows how much you have learned about developing nations, poverty throughout the world, and ways of dealing with this difficult situation. Kiva.org is a site that is used by about a million people who lend money to those in need. When you go onto the cite, you will find different profiles on some one or a group of people and a biography of why they want the money you might be willing to lend to them. This cite seems to work very efficiently as y...

For today's human geography blog I'd like to start out by saying something I wish I would have spoke up in class today. The question was what is the right and wrong thing to do when a customer comes to you for a wedding cake for two males on top? Do you make it or not? It really upset me when my classmates didn't say anything as if it was okay, but then it occurred to me that I wasn't saying anything about the matter either. I soon regretted not speaking my opinions on the matter to create more class discussion. First, I'd like to begin by making my opinions on gay, lesbians, and bi relationships. To me it doesn't matter your religion, or what your parents say on the matter, you can think whatever you want on what is right and wrong to this topic. Your parents shouldn't influence your decision or what the bible says. Also I don't know why people make such a big deal about this as well. It's fine if they don't support it, but they also don't h...
