Thanksgiving Gratitude Blog

One thing I'm very thankful for is my family.  Many children and adults don't have family to comfort them, and I'm very lucky to have one.  Having a family helps me so much with issues and other stuff. Children around the world don't get to have the feeling of love and comfort by their family, so I'm very thankful for that.  Another thing I'm grateful for is my house, I get the feeling of safety.  Many people around the world don't to live in a house and feel safety,  these people are living on the streets, and under bridges.

Another thing I'm thankful for is an education because many children around the world don't have enough money to pay to go to school.  School isn't a given, some people are killed for wanting a tuition, just like Malala Yousefzai.  Something else I'm grateful for is food on my plate everyday, many people starve all around the world every day.  I get to eat everyday because of my parents and I take it for granted but now I see that many children are malnourished, wanting to eat a meal so they don't pass away.

Peer's Important Article Review

I've learned so much from our gallery walk with my peers telling me about articles such as New Zealand and how they had a earth quake that killed a total of 2 people. This earth quake cost the country a lot of money to be able to rebuild.  OR when I learned about how guns make you more dangerous, you are twice as likely to kill someone rather than someone without a gun.  I learned about how some of Trump's supporters are making racial slurs to other people of color, Trump wants them to stop because this can lead to bullying and I don't think Trump wants more bullying.

I've also learned many other things such as how insects get into your home, and how it's bad for your health.  I learned how kids in South Africa and South Asia, and how they're being affected by the air pollution.  Schools are being built right next to these factories so that means 600,000 kids die of air pollution every year.  

Presidential Election Reflection

Some of you will be voting for the next election are you excited? why or why not?

Im not that excited because I'm not voting because I'm going to barely be 17 years old.  I won't be voting next election so I'll just watch and hope for the best.
