Future is definatly the new Present

The Future of the world will bring upon many things for the lives of the world. Major changes can either bring times of happiness, question maybe even sadness. I feel the future will bring on many new inventions that will change the lives of the many. Medicines and cures that could save the lives of thousands even millions. Better days for the United States meaning living recession free. Times of peace living without fear of wars or being under attack. 

I can't tell what the future will bring but all I can feel and hope for that the future will bring upon better times.

Just Pieces of Me .

My digital story is about me. Well of course it's about me but I mean things that me

who I am. Certain things that make me up as a person, from the friends I have, to the music I listen too, too the movies I could watch over and over again. It gives someone the chance to know things about me. Maybe things that haven't got the chance to know before. And from viewing my digital story you'll get too learn about me. (:

Rollerbladers Skateboarders Bikeriders etc. . . ( Family Story)

Till this day, I can not stand people who either roller blade skateboard or even bike ride

were people are walking and where it is real crowded. Like it annoys me to the point I want to scream .!

Well this annoyance all being when I was about five or six and I will never forget this I still have the scar. My mother, sister Tiffany and I were going to a picnic for my sister's school in central park when I still lived in the Manhattan.

And we were walking along central park and it was crowed on the side my mom and sister and I were walking on and this guy on roller blades is going full force and of course he goes around everyone else. So when he's coming my family's way for some reason he couldn't make his way around us, so instead he screams "Watch Out !". Like the smart girl my sister is she just moves to the side. But me holding on to my mom's hand and her not listening, the guy on roller blades knocks down my mom and she pulls me down with her. Like a smack in the face believe me so I end up with a scrapes on my legs and my mom just screams at the guy on roller blades while everyone watches.

Oh yeah and if your wondering we went to the picnic like two hours later.

So I really cannot stand when people do that and it's not good to do that. Trust me you will end up with a angry lady screaming at you if you knock her down.

Violence on College Campus.

This blog post isn't as long as my other one. I think my mind is almost half empty from that post but I do have a few words on this topic as well.

Another story that has been sweeping through the nation is the death of twenty-four year old Yale Student Annie Le. Whose body was found in the basement wall of a medical research building which was off-campus. Which was about ten blocks from the main building campus. Annie Le was strangled to death. Her body was found Sunday September 12th the day of her wedding.

Hearing this story just made me think of all the violence we face in this world and especially in places we would never expect at times we would never expect it. I do not know the police and violence rates in this area but if a murder like could just occur then we need obviously need more police patrolling that area and mostly at night.

What happened to that young lady is terrible and very unfortunate. My deepest prayers go out to her family and loved ones.

Domestic Violence. Teen Relationship Abuse

One topic that feel is real important, that has been mentioned in the news numerous of time and very important to teens around my age is, Domestic Violence Teen Relationship Abuse. Relationship abuse actually has no preference whether your female or male, straight, gay or lesbian it can occur in all and it does not discriminate. Realtionship abuse not only include physical but also emtional, pressure is another way as well.

As a victim of Teen Relationship myself, I've always got the common questions, "Why do you stay around ?", "Why do you let them do this to you ?". It's not that victims want to stay around, we do not wish for these painful events to happened to us or do we ever bring it upon ourselves!. But then we think back to a time in our mind when the person who is causing so much pain, once brought upon joy. And then we convince ourselves that they will change and will become the person they once were and you can save them. But there is no hope and you have to get away, even though it's hard to leave, and he's still around trying to get you to come back. You fight like hell and you break away and you leave.

But then again, there are some victims that aren't so lucky. They try to leave and it is not a success. In this article on New York Times.
( article: http://parenting.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/talking-about-teen-dating-abuse/ )

In this article it states that twenty-three Lindsay Burke was murdered by a jealous ex-boyfriend after breaking off their two year relationship. She gathered up the courage up to leave but the ex-boyfriend wouldn't let her he needed someone to be his human punching bag and instead of letting her be happy he killed her.

The article also states and I state, " That 24 percent of teens know at least one student who has been the victim of dating abuse. And that fewer than 25 percent of teens have discussed the subject of dating violence with their parents. And that one-quarter of teenage girls in a relationship report verbal abuse from their boyfriends. And that nearly one in five teenage girls who have been in a relationship have been threatened with violence if they break things off. "

Breaking away is hard. One of the hardest thing you'll ever have to do but you have to for the sake of yourself, your health and loved ones. If relationship abuse is occurring most recently to anyone reading this speak to someone who can help before it's to late.

Blogging in Education Part Dos (:

Final Draft .

Blogging is beneficial to education. It benefits education by allowing students to find their voice that is usually hidden behind fears. It also gives students a positive way to express themselves and ideas. It shows students to reflect on things and ideas. It gives students idea of motivation and enhances there learning to ability to new heights. Blogging is also very helpful to teachers because now teachers as well use blogs now. They can use it too expand there teaching time and to g over and review things for classes and test. Also they can communicate with parents and teachers thru blogging. But then again blogging benefits schools in the greatest way because its cheap and easy and sometimes free.

Blogging benefits schools because it allows students to expand their mind way past just basic pen and paper. It helps to express feelings on topics that they may have heard once, a million times or even never. It also gives students the chance to understand other’s thoughts and point of views. Blogging teaches students to use a computer more efficiently. And helps them to want to explore the world beyond their own and comment on it.

Blogs benefit education by bringing schools into the advance 21st century. Speaking as a students, we hate having to reading and writing from textbooks. We wanna learn about the world going on around us and with blogging we can do just that. And a message to all teachers if you use blogging the lesson plans you teach then it would actually bring a joy and make us actually want to do school and homework. But other than that blogging is quick and very easy.

The use of blogging is very beneficial to education all together. Because the way it teaches school other sources of writing, teaching and the act of expressing. Blogging also helps school to save massive amounts of paper and also helps teachers to keep track of paper which I know can be truly difficult. It gives all students to be apart of the 21st century technology.

Blogging is really a great way for everyone from students to teachers parents to kids to express themselves in a new and productive way. It keeps everyone caught up to date and taking trips to other’s mind and thought through one simple thing, blogging that is. Blogging is what can make people a community again.
