Everyone has a dream. "I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream." said Martin Luther King Jr. He was a strong person. He lead against racism. He wanted everything to be equal. Despite everything that happened and all the people that wanted him dead he still had a dream and was going to pursue it!
I have a dream. My dream is to stop poverty. I couldnt imagine what life would be like living on the street and not knowing when you're going to get your next meal. I think to myself how can one person stop all that? How can that make a big difference? Martin Luther King Jr. was one person and he pursued his dream so I use him as my inspiration and motivation!
Where would I start? I would get involved with the NASW (National Assocaiation of Social Workers). I'd call them and tell them I want to help make the poverty levels go down. Everyday 25,000 die of hunger because they cant afford to give their bodies the food they need. This makes them sick and to weak o work. I want to be their little push they get when someone helps you get back on your feet!
My next step in putting this dream in to action. I would talk to my friends, family, and school about how we could raise money to help not only the Unites States but other countries as well. Getting churches and the community involved can help make a difference in someone else's life. Not only would we raise money but we could send can goods or clothes that we don't wear or need to those who need it most! I'd send all this stuff to an organization who helps change others lives.
Doing this to help change the world and making it a better place will fill my heart! I hope that doing good will help influence others to follow along! Sometimes we don't realize what we have and how much we take for granted. I pray that by fulfilling this dream I can help make someone else's dreams come true too!

The watch was designed to be a sports and fitness watch. "Its very light on the wrist which was important to us." Migicovsky, the maker of the watch, told Ms.Pepitone. Pebble is water resistant to five atmospheres. So sweating and swimming wont be a problem.
"Our goal was to make it awesome from day one, and then improve with updates," he said. "We're excited to see how it evolves." Migicovsky said. This device will be a great conveience! Esspecially to Athletes and to people who are always loosing their phones but now that wont happen since its attached to your wrist.
They haven't made any deals yet but don't look for Pebble in any retail outlets. It will be interesting to see how it all will work so well in the world. They could find that their e-watch may not be so resistant or that the watch of convience could be the watch of inconvienence!

Book Review Redo
Twilight
Stephenie Meyer
When reading a good book I want to always be tuned in. A romantic love story that takes a tradgic turn. "About three things I was certain. First,Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him, and I didnt know how dominant that part might be, that thirsted for my blood. And Third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him." This book will always be one of my favorites. Its an amazing story! Stephenie Meyer's Twilight is a story this generation will never forget!
A good theme for this book would be "Love is the strongest force!" Edward Cullen could have easily killed Bella Swan with a touch of a finger but he controlled how badly he thirsted for her. Bella is scared for her mom because she was taking by James, the killer, so she gives herself to him to save her mother. Due to this Edward goes and fights James and saves Bella's life.
I pictured Bella to be an ordinary girl but pretty. Someone who is shy and very observant to her surroundings. She is the kind of girl who hides behind everyone else. She doesnt like to be noticed. If I were to meet Bella I'd first feel like she is boring. She isnt an outgoing girl unlike myself. I can see how she would appeal to everyone and seem interesting to people.
The way that Stephenie makes me feel about the characters while reading this seemed all to real. She made me fall in love with all them the way she had them set in her story. I felt like I was learning about all of Edwards secrets. The feeling when reading this was like opening up a present. It was all new. Mysterious and heartfelt Stephenie achieved them.
The surroundings that the story takes place in fits the story. A small town full of secrets. Wet, cold, and rainy through out the year seemed like a good place for a vampire. Also it was a good place for an uncordinated girl to get hurt bringing more out in the story.
I can honestly say I felt like I was in this book while reading it. As if this was part of my life! Thats a good writer! A good writer writes good books! I'd recommend this book to anyone! I hated that this book had an ending it was that good. No other book that I have read meets the expectations that Stephenie has made for me!

http://www.georgetowner.com/articles/2012/dec/17/massacre-newtown-defining-moment-america/
A definning moment in America, was the massacre of Newtown. The one thing on our minds around this time of year is Christmas shopping and get togthers with the family. All sorts of different things on our minds but a phone call later that your child was killed by gun shot is not one of them.
The TV's were loaded with headlines on the killing of twenty plus children. Putting the whole country on mute for a few moments. Parenst rushing to schools to get their children wondering if they are safe.The details only got worse 20 children, ages six and seven, more girls than boys, and six teachers and administrators had been killed, gunned down by a young man armed with an assault rifle.
His name was Adam Lanza. He killed himself when he heard approaching policemen enter the school, but he had enough ammunition to do much more damage than he did. Doing enough damage anyways just days before Christmas. Taking kids lives away and robbing parents of their children.

Current Event
North Korea launched a long-range rocket in defiance of UN sanctions threats over what Pyongyang's critics insist is a disguised ballistic missile test. There was no immediate report on the success of the launch, but the Japanese government said the missile had passed its southern island chain of Okinawa around 12 minutes after take-off. Japan had deployed missile defense systems to intercept and destroy the rocket if it looked set to fall on its territory. In Seoul, President Lee Myung-Bak called an emergency meeting of his National Security Council to discuss the implications of the launch. Japan's government found the launch intolerable, chief government spokesman Osamu Fujimura said. "It is extremely regrettable that North Korea went through with the launch despite our calls to exercise restraint," he said. The launch followed reports in the South Korean media and satellite imagery analysis by US experts that suggested the rocket had been removed from the launch pad to repair an apparent technical problem.

Bell work 11/12/12
When in a discussion, tolerationg someone elses opinion can be very frustrating. The ideals, giving respect, allowing them to express themselves freely. However agreeing, disagreeing, and tolerating anothers ideals may not be easy, respect is deserved for everyone. Some have very stong opinions toward some subjects and listening to what they have to say can upset some people. Everyone has a right to tell their ideals whether you can tolerate them or not may be the problem for some.
