Goals and Backup Plans.
|
To have a goal is very important. It makes life a bit easier, because in a way, you know what you want and how to get it.
I have many goals, because my mind works very rapidly. I have what people may call "Backup Plans" just in case my first goal fails. I want to be a climatologist. This has to do with me studying the weather in different climates of the world. If this doesnt work out, I'd like to be a therapist. I am good at keeping things to myself, I love to help my friends and family whenever they need me, and I like to help people with problems that they are having about various situations. If plans A and B don't work, I think I may become a Motivational Speaker. I love to influence others with the knowledge that I have and further mine in the process. I have been told (Not that I like to toot my own horn) that I am a very influential person and that I inspire alot of people to not quit and become more than they are. If my A, B,and C plans fail, I'd Like to become a novelist. I love to read and I love to write, So that will work out well. It is important to have a goal and a few Backups incase it fails!

World Corruption and It's People
About this category: Peace & Conflict
|
The world has become a divided place. Whole countries have turned on each other, Ethnic people have traded on thier own kind, and the foundation of the human race has taken a drastic turn towards the worst. In an efficient way, We are all 1 people: -The Human Rcae-. So, why is it that we have to hurt each other to prive a point? Why is it that we have to rape our women, kill our children, and destroy our entire beings for nothing? Is it the need for power? Respect? Or, had the corruption of the world and -Human Race- become a noted past-time or a just a hooby that we've picked up? Most elders claim that our ("Our" being people of all races younger than 35-50 years of accumulated age and wisdom) current behavior is the reason for the corruption in today's world, But, I say to elders, Were YOU all so different? Most traits that the chldren of today's world possess come from thier line of family. If you and a friend entered a store, and you saw they were stealing, you question them. If they told you that everyone in thier family did it for as long as they could rememeber, what could you say??? Its a trait they were raised on. I say to you (Trusted readers of this posted entry of my blog)What do you believe is the true meaning of the world's corruption? Is it the actions of young adults, or the past actions of thier elders? Do they want power? Respect? What is the meaning of it all??

A Harsh Life...
|
Depending on the circumstances, many people will tell you that they have a "Harsh Life". But what does this mean??? A "Harsh Life" can have many meanings. Someone could have just lost a job, a loved one, or their entire being because of the chaos they around. But, what is the true meaning of it? If you are robbed on the street, you would be considered to have a "Harsh Life" to some, But to others, you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. On the other hand, Someone may have just lost a spouse, child, or very close friend. The would be considered to have a "Harsh Life" to some, But to others they may just be experiencing death and don't know how to grasp it. What Is YOUR Definition Of A"Harsh Life"???

volonce in philadelphia
About this event: I Can, I Will...Step Up, Stop the Violence March Related to country: United States About this category: Peace & Conflict
|
There's a lot of volonce going on in Philly. In my opinion the most dangerous part of the city is 52nd and Market street It was not that long ago, that 52nd and Market were hailed as the "Main Street" of West Philly;seemingly it had so much to offer.
Thanks to tit being the state-of-the-art transportation hub, there is plenty of hustle and bustle as folks came from far and wide to take advantage of its unique shops, dynamite restaurants, and classy nightclubs.
But like so many other once-proud sections of the city, this area has suffered a devastating fall from grace.This formerly thriving thoroughfare is pockmarked with boarded-up storefronts, dive bars, careless drug dealers, and roaming bands of lost souls who lurk in the shadow of the Market-Frankford El.
living and growing up in the area and see it deteriorate is very painful i just wish that things can change for the better because is a thurving city of brotherly love where have all the love gone? i would hate to have my childern to grow up in this city because i'm so scraed that something jeapordize their future we need to clean up our acts and our cities

Fear of teen pregnancy
Related to country: United States
|
I would like to analize why teens are getting pregnant? There are too many fears that come to my mind when i think of young girls lacking direction. What can I do to stop teens from getting pregnant and focusing on finishing school? Should there be more programs out there, like going to different schools informing young girls to abstain from such activities?What role can a morther play in promoting responsible , and positve social behavior ?

My responce to the community walk
|
This was my favorite picture from the community walk because I was glad to see that the community gave tribute to the Philadelphia Negro League because a lot of black people do not recieve a lot of credit and for them to have a whole memorial deicated to the Philadelphia Baseball Negro League its a step up from not reconizing black people at all.

International visitors come to S.O.F.T
|
Today was a very exciting day for the School of the future. Why because we actually had people. From different countries visit our school for the first time. I myself was alittle nevus because I wasn't sure. About what to say and what not to say. As i got to kno them alittle better then i became comfortable. These mutilingual educators expressed things about their countries in a well thought out way. If i could visit their country for about a week. That would be very interesting just to be in a total different envoirnment sounds like fun.

international visitors come sotf
|
Today i thought that the visitors told me things that i thought were interesting. They told me about most of their religions and also food and clothes. The visitors came to the class rooms during the tour telling the other students about where they came from and what it's like there. The students would be interested with these teachers because the student want to learn the different languages the visitors know and are able to teach, as so am i. Some of them were from Mylassia, Algeria, Egypt, and more. They also showed us there currents from where they're from. I think that this encounter with these visitors will be a pleasent experience.

Iternational Visitors
About this category: Culture

I think today was a great oppertunity for all of us kids at S.O .T .F. ( School of the future). I think that it was a big eyeopener to the people that came from the different countries, because they learned how we function and how we live and learn at the School of the future. To me this was a big eyeopener for me in general, because I learned about how things are being functioned outside of the country I live in. I really enjoyed it alot and I sure they did. I am happy i got to expeirence this today.

Reflection on the piece I read
|
Today in class i read a piece. I read a article on youth rights. It was saying that youth need to get known more and adults need to pay more attetion to their youth. For example they said that children need more rec centers and organizations like that. There was a couple of things that i didnt under stand one thing was that it was talking about migration and youth and didnt under stand it. Also I didnt understand that the age part of the article.

Gender differeneces in migration
About this event: 2006 United Nations Conference on Human Rights Migration and Development
|
Basically the article is telling me about the difference between men and women to be migrants but focuses on the women. It is also describing how hard it is for the migrant women to find good jobs to take care of their families on the income they receive. Next the article goes into the help that the women overseas get from our government it’s not much but it keeps the children clothed and educated. Also it explains the difference from the 1990’s and now. Basically now our government helps migrants here in the U.S.

Migration
About this event: 2006 United Nations Conference on Human Rights Migration and Development
|
The British collected a number of Nepalese youngsters to the British armed forces. And they collected migrants to come and work for them. They used the migrants of Nepalese for employment purposes only. There are many villages in Nepal where labor migration has been established as a culture of a community.
Economic migration to the Middle East from South Asia and other parts of the world was spurred-on by the oil boom in the early 1970s.
Why do they need migrants to work for them?
How could they end migration?
