Endangered Animals

What is going on?!! I'm a huge animal lover even if people think some are mean or ugly I really don't care.I try to do everything I kind for animals. I've picked up birds who are hurt or to young to fly. I've helped stray dogs, but what is going on here. There are so many endangered animals!

Here are just a few, Leopard, Polar Bear,Bald Eagle, Humpback Whales, Siberian Tiger, and a Pandas. Animals are becoming extinct because of pollution,habitat destruction,and climate change.

Is it that hard to throw away your trash when the trash can is most likely a few feet away. People are destroying animals homes to build more things that we don't need. Climate change happens because of global warming. Do we need to have all those nasty gases in the air that deteriorate the ozone layer?

Just keep the earth in good shape and we get to keep all these animals. If you want to learn about different endangered animals click here.

How many kids could you handle?

Ziona Chana of Mizoram Indian has a huge family!!! He has 39 wives, 94 children, and 33 grandchildren. This man has set a record of having the biggest family in the world. But the weird thing is he lives with all of them. They all live in a 100 room, four story house. if you think living with your mom and dad is hard enough, try living with 167 family members! Ziona says that he is blessed to have such a large family.
The family all works together to clean and cook and get all the chores done in their house. One evening meal can see them pluck 30 chickens, peel 132lb of potatoes and boil up to 220lb of rice. One of his wives, Huntharnghanki, said the entire family gets along well. The family system is reportedly based on 'mutual love and respect.'
One of his sons stated that Mr Chana, whose grandfather also had many wives, marries the poor women from the village so he can look after them.
I think that is crazy to have such a big family. But i also think that it is wrong to have so many wives. You should be loyal to your one and only wife and not have more than one wife/husband.

Waterfall?(:

                                                                   Photo By Steve-h

  I picked this image because it just looks really beautiful. It looks almost realistic. Its like a small waterfall filled with color. Theres gold , blue , white. The foamy bottom makes it more realistic and beautiful. It would be magnificent to see something like this in person. I just cant get over the fact of how pretty it looks.

   Imagine how pure it may sound? All the water rushing down in such an untrembling manner. Well I just think that this picture is incredibly beautiful although it doesnt show much.

Give the Gift that Keeps on Giving........Recycle

Recycling, what a small word but it means so much to this big world. What would a world without recycling be you wonder? Well, I can tell you it will not be a pretty sight. Just look at the pictures below.

Yes, I took those picture from a movie but if trash keeps growing at this rate, this animation will become reality. We need to keep this planet clean. Scientist are trying to find more planets to put people on if this ever happens. Guess how many they have found so far? One, and its called planet Earth.

Yep this is the only planet in the whole Multi-verse (turns out there is more than one universe) that can support life. Fascinating, right? A lot of people on our planet don`t take care of it. Don`t become like them! Some people don`t believe in recycling. They say ``what`s the point?``

Well, the point is if you don`t recycle this whole Earth will slowly loose all of its natural resources. Like if you don`t recycle paper you will have to cut down more trees to make more paper, plus the paper you just threw in the trash takes up space in the landfills.

Or take the debate over plastic or paper bags. Which is better? Well, I can tell you neither. Both are hurting the environment. Plastic, if thrown out it will take many years to decay. Paper, you get it from cutting trees. Use one of those cloth bags. The ones you can reuse over and over again. Some of them have pretty good messages on them. There was one I saw a while back, it said, ``Every Year I use This Bag A Tree Grows A Ring`` (you can tell how old a tree is by counting its rings, don`t take it laterally).

I mean you don`t want to live in the world of WALL-E. Its a great movie. And you certainly don`t want to be ``fluffy`` like the people on board the Axiom. It sounds great to be out in space but seriously, do you really want ot leave your home?

There is no other planet out there that we know of that can support life. So try to keep the only one that is. We are the only planet so far with life. With our beautifull animals and landscapes. Lovely parks and waterfalls. If we don`t do anything now, we will not be able to anything AT ALL later on. The choice is yours, but remember what goes around comes around again.

Beautiful Sunset

                                                               Photo By Paul (dex)
 I picked this image because it catches my attention. Its a really beautiful picture. I have always wanted to visit the beach while the sunset was rising just standing on the rocks. Actually the closest I have gotten to doing that is when I went camping at Ventura Beach with my family. I woke up at approxamitley 8 Am and the sky looked pretty similar to this. Its such a calming view to look at.

     Me and the rest of my English class are reading a navel "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson, its about a girl name Melinda Sordino. The book is about her problems in high school, how she is an outcast, how she makes-fun of her teachers, and what happends in high school. And her just like you and me, she "dis-likes" people that are good at stuff.

     Think about it, when someones good at something more then you are, you start to "dis-like" them.
We don't like them because we are VERY jealous being. For example, when someone has bigger and better shoes then you do, what do you do? You go off and get even better shoes.

     Do you think its fair? No, its not, its not fair that we hate someone 'cause they're better then you are on things.

    And honestly, people think "ONLY" children are like that with in all do respect, EVERYONE is like that i mean, people everyday look at what everyone else and say "I want that" or "dang, I wish I could afford that"

   Look at the picture above, its a beautiful wealthy women shewing away a poor women, now that is SAD!!

Live life like there wont be a tomorrow.

Yesterday I had a friend call me saying that her older sister died from a car accident.
She was in a car with a friend who made a stupid decision to drink and drive. She didn't know and got in the car with him. Her family didn't know that when they said goodbye that it would be the last time they would see her.

This story shows that one stupid decision can ruin your whole life.
Life is too short to make choices that can take you life away from you.
We only have 86,400 seconds in a day so make the most of it. You never know when God will choose to take your life away from you. Live your life like there wont be a tomorrow.

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

Why do we not like people who are good at things?

Why do we sometime not like people who are really good at things, like sports, music, art, or school? Is this fair? Are adults like this?

We sometimes don't like people who are good at things simply because we are jealous. Most human beings are very unsatisfied with what they have or are. When people see someone who is better at something than them, they get mad and jealous. I don't think it is fair to not like someone because they are better than you. I do it too, but it is wrong. You should give everyone a chance even if you think you don't like them. I think adults are like this too because they get unsatisfied the same way as teenagers do.

Q: Why do we sometimes not like people who are really good at things, like sports, music, art, or school? Is this fair? Are adults like this?



A: We sometimes do not like the people who are really good at things because we may think they are better than us. We may not like them because they can do things we can't. It's not always fair, it's not fair when people people say they like someone more or think they're better than everyone because they are good at something. It is fair when you appreciate and give them credit because they try hard and put lots of effort to get better at what they are already good at. It is fair but sometimes it isn't most people will probably say it isn't though. There are many adults who are also like this. Some adults like or dislike someone because they are good at something. Most people whether they are adults or children can't put up with the fact that the other person is better than them and that they suck; so the only way for them to deal with it is to envy the other person.

Q: Why do we sometimes not like people who are good at things, like sports, music, art, or school? Is it fair? Are adults like this?

A: I think people don’t like people who are good at things because we are jealous and strive to be like them. Let’s say you play a sport tennis, and one person always wins the game I’m most likely going to not like that person. It’s just jealously you could admire them but not always. Usually we don’t like them because you wish you were in their place.

I don’t think it’s fair, unless the person is cocky or mean then I think you have a reason to not like them. It’s not nice to but, you still do it anyways. I think though there really talented at these things for a reason, they must work hard to get good grades, win a game, etc... Even though you want to not like them you really shouldn’t.

Adults do not always like people I think. They get jealous just like anybody else. I think when someone is better at things people sort off give off the impression that they cocky or mean which isn’t always the case. I think adults let’s say at work may not like someone who got employee of the month they may on the outside look happy for them. Of course you won’t like them because you didn’t win.

Life is Beautiful

When I first saw this picture I thought about how beautiful life is and how we need to enjoy it. When I think of life I think about how greatful I am for always having food to eat and a house to live in and my mom having a job. I mean how many people can say that now-a-days? All I know is, is I sure can! This picture is by ozgurmulazimoglu. This is a beautiful picture of a flower. Its so pretty just like life in my oppinon.I wish everyone saw how beautiful life is but, some people can't cause they think they have it so hard when they aren't the ones starving and the ones dying everyday on a foreign country.

When I first saw this picture my dog was all I could think of. I had a golden-retriever when I was little but he is no more. I really like dogs. I love dogs! The dogs in the photo were so cute I could not help but put them up. They look so playful. Naughty. Like a innocent on the out side but naughty within. They also look so shy and sooo cute. I hope you guys enjoy the picture as much as I did.

I wish I could be here right now!!!

Ahhh.... Lake Tahoe Nevada my favorite vacation spot.
I wish I could be here next the the lake relaxing under the sun!
My favorite thing to do in Lake Tahoe is to go fishing with my sister and cousins. Normally I don't get much but it is still fun to try.
I think it is the most relaxing place to be during the summer. The weather is nice and cool with snow still in the mountains even in the summer! During winter it's fun to go snowboarding and skiing. I wish I could be in Lake Tahoe right now!!!

City

By Sprengben [why not get a friend]

I love the city and the ocean and this picture is both! This picture is beautiful it's so colorful and there's so many things going on. If you look closely the city looks like it goes on forever and ever!

I picked this picture because it really stand out, out of all of the pictures of the city this was the one that made an impression on me. This city is of Tokyo I'm sure there is plenty of hustle and bustle going on here which I like but but this picture is at night, and usually everything looks so different then and the morning. So I'm sure there is a big difference.

I still have to say I love this picture and I hope you enjoyed it too.

My New Year's resolution is to do better in school. I need to improve my grades so I don't fail any of my classes and so I can go to promotion. I also need to not get into so much trouble and do my work so I don't get demerits.

New Years ``Resolutions`` A.K.A......Goals

Last year I made a list of New Years resolutions to do. I will use the same list this year its still as good as new! ~Hazel (me)


Personally, I NEVER make New Years resolutions because if I am getting this right a Resolution is a solution to some thing you did wrong. I also don set them because first of all, I forget about them. Secondly, I will feel bad when I forget about them. Lastly, I would not really get anywhere after I forget about them.

Well, if I did set resolutions they would be: eat less, exercise more, GET GOOD GRADES!!!! They are the same every year. Its easier on the paper and on me.

But there`s one thing I do want to point out to all of you who have ``resolutions`` please keep them. Because if you don`t its disappointing. First, its like cheating on yourself. Then, its kind of hurting the person you were keeping the resolution. For example: if you feed the poor every week and forget about it after say 3 months then someone can starve because they sort of depend on you for food. Or if you want to loose weight, you start and stop after 2 months then you could hurt yourself.

What I am trying to say is, don`t bite off more than you can chew. Brainstorm before you make a list. Think of what you can and can`t do to help yourself or others. And if you do get stuck don`t give up! Keep trying. You try you fail, you try you fail, but when you fail and don`t try again its the biggest failure of all.

This New Year I will......

During 2011 I thought a lot about those less fortunate than I am.
So my goals during 2012 is to never forget those who are poor.  I also plan to help out at a homeless shelter passing out food.
Lately I haven't been great full for everything I have. So my goal is to be great full and give thanks to God for everything he has given me.

Fast fact: More than 12% of all Americans do not have New Years resolutions.
Also one of my New Years resolutions is to excersise more and not eat so much!!!!
I hope 2012 will be a great year for everyone!

The New Year

I think this year the economy will get like 40 times worse then it is... if that's possible!!

I think this because, more and more people are still losing their jobs!

Anyone who has a job right now is very lucky.

But no one really realize that we are very lucky to have food, water, shelter, and clothes.

But I do, I am very grateful for what I have(: my parents may think other words but I am very grateful.

So this year people should be grateful for what we have no matter what we have I mean at least we aren't dying of starvation!

New Years Resolutions

A lot of people have different ideas for a new years resolutions, but one i hear the most is weight lost. That's is a good one but I just hope that people actually stick with there resolution and not stop it after a week or month after new years.

It's really easy to forget about your resolution which I understand, because I do the same exact thing.:} I'll try to eat healthier but it'll just end up eating a lot of junk the next week. I like New Years resolutions. I think it lets us start fresh for the new year. I also think it's lets us have something to look forward too.:}

So this year I decided my goal/resolution would be to stay focused on thing like school and not to get side track and to not worry so much and maybe I can try to eat healthier but I don't know if that will work out. If you want to look at some popular resolutions here are some.
