Kate's Presentation

I really enjoyed Kates presentation. I think she done a well job when it came to using a lot of information. The website was neat and you could tell it really took time to work on. The presentation wasn't boring, and I felt interested. She answered questions well and seemed to really care about paying it forward. I think she did a really good job.

What is text?

Text can be many different ways of expression. There is writing in books, newspaper, and journals full of text in which help express from world to world, place to place. Text has formed into email, or informal chatting. This is a way of communication and even when we drive we see text constantly. Advertising uses it and so does tv shows and many other items. I think text connects everyone and brings people together because without it we would be totally lost.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."

Over spring break, I went to Florida. We were constantly busy, but I often found myself thinking about freerice when I was watching the news or checking my email. Although the experiment is over, once I got home and settled down I did go to the website and play some vocab words. I think the reason I really stuck to this is because I am helping people around the world. It is a good cause playing and I feel as if it is well spent time, rather than wasted. This quote I feel like is true in a sense. Once you do something day after day, it becomes a habit. Since I have went back to freerice I feel like it helps me while writing my paper. I did take a week break so the Freerice isn't annoying to me.

Last week of the challenge

So, this last week of classes, and the challenge has been so crazy! I feel like I haven't even been able to breathe, but the project has came along way. My rice count that I've donated is extremely high (I can't remember off the top of my head.) I have found a lot of research and my paper is coming along good.,.. I think. I'm just excited to get everything out of the way for a little bit and relax on the beach. Lord knows I need it. Take care!

Waste Land

I really enjoyed this movie, and everyone's comments and posts about it that I have looked through. I think a main thing here is this: What's one man's trash, is another's treasure. This statement was running through my head throughout the whole movie. So many items and food are wasted daily -- especially in the United States. It kind of ties into my 30 day project since I'm trying to feed others virtually, so I was interested in this movie... a lot.
Some people may be disgusted with the thought of living in or by a trash dump. The smell, the look, and the bugs/birds really would disgust me. But the courage it takes to make that your everyday life is unreal. These people were working and trying to accomplish their dreams.... through trash. This amazes me because it's something I feel I could not do unless I was rock bottom.
The difference is and the point of this is that treasure can be found everywhere, and life is what you make it. These people working were happy for the most part and in their eyes it wasn't bad money. They were supporting their families and recycling which helps the environment. Whether they liked it or not they made a difference in someone's life and that is what I want to do most. I look up to these people and really enjoyed watching and learning. It really made me sit back and think how lucky and blessed I truly am.

week 3 Free Rice

I've been staying up to date with my FreeRice. It's annoying at this point but in the back of my head I keep thinking that I am helping others. This is me needing to get over my selfish ways. Like, I'm sick of doing free rice, because it takes up time and I'd rather be doing other stuff. But what is better than helping others who can't do the "other stuff" and their daily task is trying to survive. I guess I'm getting disappointed in myself because I want to help but when it comes down to it I'm lazy... even though I have been donating everyday. Anyways, this is a learning experience and I've already realized and learned a lot about myself through this.
