Kids these day take things for granted. They expect everything to be given to them, and don't work for anything. They complain about so much when the trials they go through aren't even as hard as what we went to .They need to learn to be able to be entertained by different stuff, like the outdoors; they shouldn't spend all their time on technology. Although I do feel that kids have a lot more pressure to be perfect, and intelligent these days. Overall from when I was a kid, it is so different.

Tell me about the global issue you selected. What do you already know about the issue? What are you looking forward to learning about it? Explain.

My global issue topic is Child Abuse. I have always been very interested in learning about child abuse. I want to understand why the abusers do what they do and how it affects the children? I know that most children are abused and never report it and I also know that it is hard to take a child abuse to court because you have to have a child testify, and children aren't always reliable. I want to learn more about child abuse because when i'm older I want to be a pediatrician with a psychology major as well. I want to be able to help abused children get well again. To be able to do this I need to learn about child abuse.

What did you do this weekend? Share pictures if you have them!

I started off the weekend strong by going to the Blue Valley football game, which we won 29-0. Then on Saturday I had to get up at 6 to go to work. I am a field marshal at the Overland Park soccer complex. My brothers birthday was also on Saturday, so we we went out to eat as a family. We got to eat at Stroud's; they have the best Cinnamon rolls ever!! On Sunday I went shopping to find a dress for homecoming. It took forever but I finally found one I liked. The rest of my Sunday was spent watching the Cowboys and the Chiefs get destroyed! I could watch football all day if I had to.

Yesterday I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain

I think you asked us to do this project because it'll expand our way of thinking. It gives us the opportunity to try and do something different than the plain boring projects we do in most of our other classes. Google slides gives you the opportunities to try different styles and draw out your creative side. Also high school is the place to try new things and feel comfortable being different. Boring presentations are not entertaining for the teacher or your coeds. Trust I have made those presentations and sat through 20 of them in one class period.

Tell me all about your Labor Day weekend. What did you do? Include photos!

Well on Friday night I went to the Varsity soccer game against West because I am a manager. Although we lost, it was still fun because I got to watch Mr. Bacon pour and ice bucket on West's principles head. We won the ALS challenge and we all got free ice cream too. On Sunday, my family went to the mall together to get birthday presents for my brother. We spent the whole day looking at dress clothes, boring!! This weekend I also went to go see the movie The Giver with my mom. To be honest I didn't like it at all, but I love the book. Last night instead of doing my homework, I also watched Lone Survivor. It was amazing, but I cried almost the entire movie. Overall I had an amazing Labor Day weekend with my family.
