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!

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??

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"???

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.

BO$$UNIT is a group of young people who are trying to take control of there life with all thats going on. Bo$$unit basically takes advantage of how the world is so high tech nowadays and use technology to express whatever they want. Bo$$unit has realized with technology you can achieve many things, and they just want to show the world that in a way for young people and older people can understand. Bo$$unit produces many products with technology until they get enough money to build a studio that uses technology to do everything and have it open to the public to produce whatever they want to exspress to the world with a little help.

In my point of view our class ''Invisible City'' is about overlooking things that people pass by every day. I learned a lot from being in this class and it gave me a new lens to see things in different ways. I also liked this class because it also gives me a chance to show people how I see things with my photography.
Pictures I personally took were mostly landscape pictures, like pictures of my school and pictures of my community. The music we created was more up to date hip hop type instrumentals. The process of making the music was simple; we used this program called FL studio and put together sounds to make the music we produced.
We took all the projects our class made and we took it to Hershey, Pennsylvania to the PETE&C conference. There we displayed all the things we did in our class for people there to observe. I thought the conference was helpful because people there gave us feedback on what they thought about our work. I would be interested in going again, and if I could go again next year a project I would like to work on more of our music and maybe do some movies.

Today was a very good day. Visitors from other countries came to talk about how they was living and their cultures. I think it was very interesting.I learned a lot from listening to the different people. I also enjoyed the different questions that were being asked. I think the visitors helped me get more knowledge about their homes and their religions.

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.

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.

I dont really think that global warming will affect me in my life time. I mean sure its causing the polar ice caps to melt but it really won't affect the world until later generations where the sea levels rise above where tey are now, submearsing most cities on the coast in water. I thinkto help slow this process we should use less gas for example get a hybrid care instead of a hummer. Also to slow the process you could use solar power instead of gasor oil.

I felt that that confrence was very good and understanding I understood about the woman migration an human rights i understood alot about that.

This article was about migration in terms of labor. I say this because in the article it says ''many middle-age people have migrated for economic reasons and not persecution. This may be referred to as labour migration resulting from widespread unemployment in the country. It is also not true that many Ugandans seek refuge due to completely unbearable life here at home. Many of these people are not fleeing starvation and a lack of shelter but are on a search for high life on the streets of London. Surely no one can leave Uganda unless they can pay US $ 1000 for the flight to Gatwick or risk a two month trip on a cargo ship''. So i place this article in the categorys of involuntary and labor, I think its some what involuntary because they dont want to leave there home land there being forced to and its labor becase they need jobs because there economic problem

No Questions

I read about the trafficing in the labor section. it was about how the parents would sell there choldren for types of money. It was also about how they would sell them for the least amount of money like for five dollors. I read that there was a mother that sold the 3 childrenm for $180 dollors to a fisherman.
why do they sell there children?
IF THEY ARE CAUDGHT WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
how do the kids live after being sold?

In Ghana, West Africa a little over $180 was handed over to the mother of a child and the deal was sealed a child of 3 had just been pawned by his parents to a local fisherman to be used as a diver in the Volta river to arrange fishing nets to facilitate heavy catches. It is estimated that until the practice came to light and exposed, at least 10 children were sold each day by poor parents to fishermen or anybody who was interested in buying them. These children, including some who were only three years old were sold into virtual slave labour for as much as US $180 and as little as $5 in extreme cases. the children was given out by their parents to work virtually as slaves for others in order for their parents to earn money. Ernest Taylor, the project coordinator, said the 1,203 children being reunited with their families represented a small fraction of the Ghanaian children sold by their parents into virtual slavery. Most are boys aged between 3 and 14 who are forced to work long hours casting and drawing nets. They are poorly fed and never paid. Sometimes, they drown in their attempts to retrieve nets caught on tree stumps at the bottom of the lake. The children that have not been sold into slavery to be used by other but have been forced by the economic situations at home to make a livelihood along the coast where they help mend nets and pull catches to the shore.

They said in an AP news report last year reported that some 15,000 Benin children work in Nigerian granite pits cracking stones. 116 have been returned to their homes, some unfortunately have died there.
An analysis into the background of the children show that they come from very poor backgrounds and were sold off when their parents could not afford keeping them around. This crude form of adoption was, perhaps to the parents, the only means by which they-parents and other sibling and the children involved could.
They also said In our part of the world, where the rule is, “survival by all means necessary’, the abuse of the rights of the child is a simple issue of survival. Faced with the harsh realities of poverty parents, institutions and governments have virtually thrown overboard almost all the rights of the African child outlined in the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.

what i read was about Every year millions of women working millions of jobs overseas send hundreds of millions of dollars in remittance funds back to their homes and communities. These funds go to fill hungry bellies, clothe and educate children, provide health care and generally improve living standards for loved ones left behind. For host countries, the labour of migrant women is so embedded into the very fabric of society that it goes virtually unnoticed. Migrant women toil in the households of working families, soothe the sick and comfort the elderly. They contribute their technical and professional expertise, pay taxes and quietly support a quality of life that many take for granted.
