Do Something.

      Sometimes doing little things for someone can help change their life. Seeing someone on the street and giving them a penny can do something bigger than anyone can imagine. After you help someone it makes you feel good abut yourself like your actually doing something. When a group of people can come together  and do something for someone the outcome can be amazing. 

     Many people teamed up to help one man named Igor Vovkovinskiy he is the tallest man with a shoe size that you cant imagine. Many people donated money to help this man get shoes, he's reached out to brands but for a pair of shoes it was $30,000. After hearing about this many people donated enough money to get him two pairs. After hearing about this I felt that I was just a little late. I think this is very interesting and amazing how people helped him. I know that he must feel so loved and special.

        Overall, reading this article it was very moving for me. To know that so many people can donate that amount of money just help one many is great. I would love to help someone like this one day.

Thats What Makes You Beautiful.

      As a girl we live in a world where sometimes in order to be perfect is to be skinny. In order for people to feel good about themselves or just to try to get a guy attention they wear makeup. People want someone to make them feel beautiful and just for a second to stop feeling insecure about themselves. Sometimes when I listen to music I use it to make myself happy and to get away from things like this. But when I listen to a certain song by One Direction called What Makes You Beautiful it makes me feel beautiful about myself.
      After listening to this song a million times a day I realized many things about myself. I put on eye lines. and mascara and all this other makeup for what.I'm changing who I am just for someone to say two words to me, your beautiful. After listening to this song I noticed everyone is beautiful in their own way. Somedays while listening to this I try to stand in the mirror and continue to tell myself you are beautiful. Sometimes I think its amazing what musicians can do just by putting a few words together in a song.
      After listening to this song I realized that music is the key to my lie. Its the one way that I can get away from all the things that upset me. It gives me a new way to look at myself so thankyou.

BE STRONG

        Imagine losing the most important person to you over racial reasons. Didn't this end a long time ago? This is the case of Trayvon Martin a young seventeen year old boy walking from the store and was killed by a "WHITE MAN". Trayvon is "BLACK" and just because he was wearing a hoodie Zimmerman killed the unarmed boy. Hearing this I think what is the world coming to and how can I help change this? There are so many ways to help and be apart.
     One way I decided to help is by being apart of hug a hoodie. Sometimes I am afraid to speak up and that's not always good but wearing my hoodie I feel like I am actually doing something. We here about this racial case and we just sit there and watch and say "wow thats crazy" but the HELL ARE WE DOING ABOUT IT. This case is unfair and Zimmerman should be served justice. This is important to me and after wearing my hoodie I decided to speak up, no more being afraid to be the odd ball out. This case is more than how I feel it's about whats rite.
       In conclusion, I feel that there are more ways to help and if we try I feel that Trayvon will really be at peace. Kids love social network, how about making a page on facebook. We all should be apart of change

Sold.

        Imagine barely having food or depending on rain for your crops to grow and it never comes. A monsoons washing away your only hope for money. This is how life is for Lakshmi she's only a thirteen year old girl and has a lot to deal with. As I just began reading this book I notice how lucky some of the city kids are. It's also teaching me that I shouldn't take what I have for granted.
         All though I have just started the protagonist is facing many problems. Lakshmi father is making her go into the city to work because the family is poor. Also her dad isn't that good everything he has he goes and gamble and sometime loses it which is really bad for the family. Lakshmi is standing strong and handling it well. Ofcourse she's going to be sad to leave her family for work but she doesn't show it. She knows that this is what she's going to have to do to help her family. I cant relate to this situation at all because I would be so heart broken. In time and after explaining I would have to stop thinking about myself and just help my family. Also this line "A thousand stars have fallen to earth," is very powerful. The author is connecting outside the text. As she's outside she is looking at the different huts but i feel that she is looking for opportunity. Overall this books shows the struggles of one teen.
         This is an amazing book and it continues to keep me interested. As you continue to read you understand how hard it is growing up in certain places. People have to do many things just to support their family even if its going far away.
