journal #17

17. Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you. 



My biggest concern right now is how this world is slowly going down a very harmful path. The whole world is suffering from money loss and even though it could easily be fixed, the greedy people who run about everything will not allow it. Atrocious people are the only ones who seem to be enjoying this world and its not fair. As time goes by people become less and less human without any morals what so ever. The human race is monstrous. We destroy everything that is beautiful and we are even killing our own home, our planet. We start war with our brothers, we steal,kill, lie, cheat and its only getting worse. I'm scared for my future and especially for my family. How will this world be for my children?. That question is always on my mind. It worries me and it should not be this way. This world shouldn't be like this where everything is horrid and unfair but what can i do?. i am nothing against the people who run this world. they have wealth they have everything and they're not going to give that up so everyone else can have a better life as well.

18. If you could choose two things to change about our high school campus, what would they be and why? 


if i could have any two things change in my high school i would probably change the new principal and serve better food. I would change our new principal because of her ideas of changing this school. When Mr. Ochoa was here, he would let us out for smi, but now we are stuck in a classroom for almost three hours. Some teachers don't even let us go out to the bathroom until smi and thats also unfair. I heard our new principal was also trying to get us to wear uniform and trying to prevent us from wearing certain type of clothing. Once i heard that i disliked her right away. I'm not in middle school anymore and my mother does not have the money to be buying me new clothes. The food is finally getting better but i would prefer them not to serve pizza. No matter how much thy say it is a vegetable, it is not. Other than that i don't really want to change much from my campus. It is fine the way it is and I'm only here for another year anyway.

19. Should school attendance be mandatory? In your answer, be sure to explore what the function of education is, and what our nation would look like if the masses were less educated. 


As student i dont enjoy being forced to come to school and be stuck in a crowded classroom for hours and be taught things ill likely forget by the next day. It seems like im wasting my best years with a bunch of people my age that i dont even want to see. Even though i feel this way i still believe school attendance should be mandatory. All of us need to be forced to come to school for if we werent i doubt we would ever show up.  School educates us, well most of us, and helps us for our future. if we do not go to school we will not know the basic things to even get a job at mcdonalds. We all need some sort of education to make it in this world. Our nation would be affected as well if attending school wasnt mandatory. There would be even more chaos than there already is because of uneducated people who weren't taught to think forward and see the consequences their actions might bring. We need education for our lives and nation to thrive. Its pure logic.

20. If you had the ability to talk to one species of animal, which animal would you choose to communicate with? Why? 


If i could talk to a specific type of animal i would choose to talk to the eagle. They spend half of their lives or more soaring in the sky and i would greatly enjoy to know how it feels to fly first hand. My dream job would be to be a pilot so people can see how talking to that certain animal would amuses me. I would spend hours talking with the eagle about how lucky it is to fly even though i doubt birds appreciate their wings. I'm not sure how long i could talk with a eagle for even if they could talk I'm not sure the conversation would go anywhere. I wouldn't be able to have deep conversations with it like how i would like to but lets just say that i could actually have meaningful conversations with the beautiful bird. The first thing i would ask would be if they enjoyed flying but not just because its a helpful way to catch their prey. I would ask it how it felt when he flied and what he thought of while he flied. I would listen to the eagles stories about how it felt the first time he ever glided in the air and the saw the world in a different angle. I would never get tired of listening to a eagle talk or take my ability for advantage.
