extra credit Bullying

At the Bullying event we learned that everyone in some ways are the same. What I mean by that is yeah everyone does not want to admit that they were a bully and why would we want to say that we were even bullied ourselves. The thing is though is that all of us have been the subject of bullying and the people who do bully at some point of our lives. Basically what we did was we first started to learn about bullying and how it is in schools now, which is plan out horrible. Then we did a activity that was taken from the movie Freedom Writers, which was if you have done it or its happen to you then step to the middle where there is a strip of red tape. This activity is basically there to show kids like us that you aren’t the only one, that other people have done it to and it has also happen to other people. My school was honestly horrible because you had kids that always have gotten what they wanted and haven’t learned that life is hard on other people and then you have kids that are on the other side of that ball that work as hard as they can to try and get ahead. You would have kids that would make fun of each other just to do it and it was really sick the things that they would say to one another bringing in the other persons family if their parents were divorced, which didn’t need to be brought up. It honestly shouldn’t matter if you have money or if you are poor, what matters is how you are as a person not ever situation is going to be the best and people will be less fortunate then you with either money or family issues, but that doesn’t give any one person the right to make fun of them for it. I learned from this that to stop bullying if I see it and to never let myself fall into those lines again of making fun of someone that is less fortunate then I am. I hope that other people learned this too because bullying lets be completely honest isn’t going to stop over night and isn’t going to stop any time soon. The only way that we can fight back and make a difference is by being able to fix ourselves and lead by a example and show people “yeah we did it and yeah we were subjects of bullying”, but that doesn’t mean that we will do it again because we have learned from our mistakes and will help people that we see getting bullied. I hope that people actually read this and learn from what  wrote because this is how things are in schools nowadays and it honestly needs to stop because it isn’t funny anymore. 

2041

            its 2041 and I wake up and go check my computer, but its not a computer anymore it’s a hologram projector created by Apple. I throw my tablet in my backpack from Apple because there are no more textbooks everything is online and we turn everything in online. Also education has finally got made over, there is no more Internet school, no child left behind has been gotten rid of, and if you don’t cut it in school then o well teachers are here to teach and if you don’t want to learn then you are dropped from class. To get to class I hop into my electric car because fossil fuel has been made to be obsolete and in every parking spot there is a charging station that doesn’t take hours to charge it takes 10 minutes and you are good to go. Fashion has still surprisingly stayed the same and food has gotten a huge make over because there are no more big market food producers. The obesity rates have gone down because everything now is actually healthy and produced from small farms that take care of their food. Now when you get into class everyone takes out their different kind of tablets and the presentation that the teacher is giving pops right up to the tablets and you highlight what is important just by touching the words. Now of days the most important field is nuclear engineering because people are trying to make things run off of nuclear power, which is clearer and more efficient. Basically after all my classes I drive to the beach because that’s where all my friends wanted to meet up. The ocean has become much cleaner due to a revolution for recycling and people actually do it because they get paid 20 dollars for every 20 bottles they recycle. After the beach and a good day of surfing I head back home and grab something from a healthy McDonald’s and then go back watch a movie on my Apple TV and go to sleep.

Food Ads

To me to have a very effective ad campaign needs to have something catchy either something like the E-trade baby or Nike commercials where they have action. When i look to buy a product I mostly look at the price of it and how it compares with its competitors. The name brands that I buy would be Nike, Oakley, Apple, and Adidas. I don't tend to buy generic alternatives because most of the time they tend to just be a cheaper version and does't taste half as good as the normal product. I don't really care if celebrates endorse a product because that just means that brands willing to pay them money not that that product is better then the others. The only jingle that seems to get stuck in my head would be McDonald's "ba ba ba ba i'm loving it."

In this commericail it shows that a bear dad saw that his bear son has gotten straight A's. So they go out to go get McDonalds for a reward and basically they see a car full of people and steal their food. Basically it makes people want to buy it's product by trying to make people laugh through their ad. To me it doesn't show any false products because it is just showing bears going to get food.

Earths

     It would take me a total of 6.2 Earths and 27.7 acres to provide enough resources for me to live. The definition of a Footprint to me is what is the amount of land and resources do you need to be able to sustain a normal life for yourself. This quiz makes us realize how much of each resources we use because for some people they don't realize it until they actually do a activity and see for themselves. Something that i could make a change with could be to use less water bottles and buy a cup or container that i can reuse more often.

about me

To tell something about myself I would first have to start with where it all began I was born in New Port Richey. When I was three years old I had to have eye surgery because one of my muscles in my eye tore. This makes me have to wear glasses or contacts for the rest of my life or I literally cannot see a thing. Also I played soccer for 14 years and the highlight of my career was my junior year in high school we won states and was the first boy’s team in our county to win states for soccer for boys and girls teams. The other big highlight that defines me is that I started a golf tournament that helps out a Livestrong foundation at my local YMCA that helps people who have gone through chemotherapy and are trying to regain muscle strength. The money that I have raised has put three people through the program that have not been able to pay because of cost. Also it has bought the program a lot of equipment that they did not have prior to my donation. As you may be able to tell this golf tournament means the most to me and reason that would be is because my grandfather who was taken way to early at the age of 75 died of stage four cancer in his bones, liver, and lungs. He was my hero and the drive that keeps me going when I think that I cannot anymore. My family is my world and they make me smile when I even think about them. We define the word family by just telling each other everything and not keeping a thing from each other and even though I am away at college I still eat dinner with my family every sunday by me going back home or them coming down here.
