Oil Spill

Many bad things have happened all around the world because of us human. Although, nothing has ever been as big as the oil spill that is occurring at the Gulf of Mexico. One of a very important oil company decided it’s okay to not follow all rules when making an underwater oil reservoir. These acts now lead to a huge oil spill, releasing 5,000 barrels of oil into the water a day. Various attempts have been failed to stop the catastrophe. Yet it seems like people are not really doing their best. Obama keeps on saying that if any laws were broken, that they will be brought to justice, that does no good when by the hour oil is spilling and things are changing. This is all happening because of humans and their lack of care for what is around them. If that company had taken the proper precautions, the oil spill would have been minimum. Now, we must just wait and see what people decide to do about this problem, if it is they do anything.

This whole problem must be taken care of and quickly. Since what’s going to happen will not be pretty at all. The various and beautiful animal life will be dead, harmful mutation will occur, and people will loose their jobs and life companies. All of this because one stupid company has no idea what they are doing. This will all end up affecting the whole world. The water will be polluted, making humans get sick and animals get sick. Slowly it will make its way to wherever it can. Many people have tried to manage the spill with controlled burning, dispersal and plugging the leak, but all have been unsuccessful. It still does not mean that they should stop trying. Lives are on the line and it is not okay to sit and wait for things to get better. Eventually, something will work if they put the best scientists on it. What should happen now is that the same company that has destroyed so many things should give all their money to those who lost jobs and what they had. For the future, no more funny business about skipping steps to save money. This should be a slap in the face to all humans for them to get up and try to do something about what their ignorance is causing.

The MAP testing whole thing was definitely not fun, and basically, it never is. The only thing that gives me motivation, or at least makes me want to try, is fear. Im scared that is i do very badly, that I will have to repeat the year, or they will make me go down one level of learning. Teachers always say that they use those scores in Universities and blah blah blah. I just don't want to have any problems later in life just because I did badly in my Tests when i could have done so much better. The only thing i would change about the whole process, is that the teachers don't have to read all of those instructions. Nobody even pays attention to them, so we just loose time. Personally, I was very happy with my scores. Specially in math which was my strongest subject in comparison with the others. The whole free spirit day did not motivate me by the least. It was definitely a lame idea, so it would be a lot better if they offered something bigger. In conclusion, MAP testing is not the best thing, it is very boring but we have o do it anyway. Even though we all wished we didn't.

Animals Presentations

I do think the presentation went very well. Although, from my group, i was expecting a little it more enthusiasm. They were very calm about the whole thing. I also decided to talk a little bit about animal abuse while i was at it. It seems that i was the only one who got a little bit out of topic. I find that as good for me, because i went beyond the expectations. It was good to hear all of the opinions people have on animals going extinct. I believe we were the smallest of all the groups, yet we still managed to do an exceptionally good job. It would be an amazing idea to be able to present these to the school so they can see that there are people who care. All of our Presentations were full of pictures, that was the one thing we all managed to do good on. We also had a few animations that didn't make it too annoying. I hope we do more presentations about the environment, it would do no harm to show that we care.

Annoying Power Point

I remember in primary when we had to do book talks that I always dreaded listening to Eduardo's. He would have way to many animations on his power points. Practically every single word on had an animation. The worst part of it all is that the animations would happen about 3 times with each word. So, it would take a really long time to get through it all, and it had a lot of really boring waiting stages. This was about 2 years ago, and i can still remember his presentations, now that has got to be something. So it is definitely the most annoying thing ever to have done on Power Point. I must say, that since that time, i have lost a lot of interest in power points. I hope my expectations of a perfect presentation will be reached soon.

Earth Day Project Reflection

Personally, I think that we ended up doing everything perfectly. By seeing other peoples videos, I saw that ours way so much better. We followed all the rules we were supposed to. We kept it straight to the point but still fun. I am happy with the overall ending of the video. I am not scared at all to see what the person who saw the videos put us a s a grade. Neither of us see a reason to change what we did. The only thing that we could probably change is the pictures. Maybe edit them a bit more so they don't seem so boring.Although, it is sad that we could not win. We both thought we would, but that is okay.

Animals Going Extinct

The following essay is my debate toward what I think should done with species extinction. It is a very important subject that must be followed by a lot of people in order to make a change. The worst part of extinction, is that is it is mostly caused by us. This is why it is our turn to fix it. Imagine some big person coming over to your neighborhood and demolishing everything so they can build a bigger house, without mattering that you were there. How would that feel? What will happen when the last species goes extinct? What will we do then when it is too late? This is something we must do now while we have time. It is our turn to play the cards right. Do what should have been done since the beginning.

It is no secret that species of the world are vanishing. Some people seem to not care because they do nothing about it. For now, it might seem stupid or irrelevant, but in the future, when there are no animals and no trees and no life but us, we will start to care. It is called extinction when the last animals of a certain species is completely wiped off the planet. Causes for these extinction can be direct and indirect. Global warming and habitat destruction are some very important causes. Every time we build a house, or a mall, we are taking specie's homes. This is what millions of animal species are going through every day.

It might seem unimportant for some people, but it is not. It is sad to know that there will come a time when we will not have any company with us in the world. What will we do then? Every day species are going extinct. Imagine how polar bears must feel trapped in icebergs that are bound to melt some day, and then die. All of that because of us. We have to start to make a change. People need to realize that the world is not ours, we must share and keep what we have safe. Its not healthy to keep running away form the truth. Lets face it, that is the first step to success. After that, we can figure out how we will deal with the situation. Even though many animals have already been lost, it's not too late yet.

Think back to when the Earth was just being started. Do you think they had planned that a bunch of humans would just come out of nowhere and declare the world theirs? Definitely not, we would not like it if they took our home, so lets not do that to animals. I would like to build a center in which people would bring endangered animals so we could take care of them and breed many many more so they don't disappear from the face of Earth. Animals have the same value as us, and it is not fair that we are destroying their habitats, we need to think of them as parents think of their children, or brothers, our family mainly. that includes the earth we live in, and the people around us. If people start to contribute to this, it will be easy for the world to see a change that could even help out in other ways. It is no secret that global warming is killing the Earth, so why are we letting animals go extinct for our own mistakes.

These reasons are why we should change the selfish way we live now. i can promise that it would be so much better is we start to change now than realize that it is way to late to do so in the future. it obvious we don't have much time left, so this is our chance to change. the world is counting on us for help. If this idea gets spread out through the world, we might be able to make a change. I do realize it is hard to make people change the whole;e way they live in order to help animals, but that is what we need now. Or at least we should make special centers around the world in order to help preserve what we need to accomplish. The world will not change itself, so how about we start out small, change ourselves first, and then make our way out other people.
