internship man!!

Today was pretty great when I got to my internship, Stephanie and I were greeted by one of our mentors co-workers, and then we went across the street to find our mentor Ben who was eating with another co-worker in a beach front restaurant. We then introduced ourselves, and then we went back to our building, and we went through an orientation with one of the people who works there and she introduced us to pretty much every single person who works in the Wild coast office. We had to read a couple of things and we were given a folder full of things from the organization, with their mission statement and the type of things that they do for the environment. After bieng told what the organization does we went back with our mentor Ben who asked us about our interests, and what kind of things we would like to do. He talked about some projects that we could do, and was just trying to get our input, like what we wanted to do. After that we were left alone in the conference room to watch some videos and we also had to read these paper that he gave us and he said when he came he wanted us to each have three questions for him. So we did that. After that was done he came back in we asked our questions and they were answered, we had a little question and answer session. Then we had to set up the conference room because one of our co-workers was going to present a project that she had, so we just basically put out the supplies that each person was going to use, and brought in chairs. After that we helped clean up the area where the people were going to be, so we got to clean on our first day, what fun that was.! After that we just sat don in the conference room were we had to brainstorm project ideas which we are going to discuss with Ben on Thursday.


Stephanie's sister took us to internship.

For lunch I just walked to Da Kines with Evan where he got his food and then we walked back to school, and then me and Stephanie waited for her sister to pick us up from school to take us to our internship.

After intership Stephanie's sisters picked us up and we went on our journey to
In N Out where we all got double double's, they were delicious by the way. Then we went to Stephanie's house and just all ate there with her parents and her other sister. Then later ON Stephanie and her sisters took me home.

I felt that everything went pretty good I am actually excited in seeing what kind of projects we will be working on all of them are beneficial to our environment as well as our health so that will be something fun to work in.

Presidents

There have been 43 Presidents and we just got a new One Barrack Obama, he would be the 44th president of the United States.Before they become president they have to make an inaugural address, also when their office term is over they give farewell addresses. These things either show what they have planned to do for their time in office, or to reflect on the time that they were in office. For example Franklin D. Roosevelt, had to give an inaugural address, in a time of struggle. That is the kind of predicament that our new president Obama has to face. There are many things that happen several times in history, like the saying "History repeats itself". This is what we see that is happening now. FDR had became president in the time of the great depression, just like now Obama has become president in another time of crisis. These were times of the Great Depression, economic struggle, and loss of jobs.

In the time Franklin D. Roosevelt was president, it was the time of the Great depression they were facing a lot of different things and he had to become the leader of the nation, just like Obama has to do now. They both knew that they were going into a situation that were not going to be easy to overcome. People say that we are headed into another great depression, and hopefully that will not happen. Now that Obama is president he has to make very good decision in order for our nation to strive and not fall into something bad. He has to take the mistakes made by others and change them for the better. He should learn from the past and make sure he does not do the same, but he has to do better than people before him to ensure the best for our nation. Paul Krugman says,"But that will be precisely because we understood that the current crisis is, indeed, like the Great Depression in important ways. Only those who learn from history can hope to avoid repeating it." He is connecting the two scenarios that are a part of history,and we all see what is going on is similar to other things that have happened.

The economic crisis that happened when FDR, is quite similar to the one going on now many people struggling to make ends meet, losing their homes, jobs, and not having very much money to support their families. Many people in our nation are suffering, and it is something that can be seen all over. This is not a good thing people should be able to do everything they need to in order to live a good life but by them losing their homes, and jobs they cannot do so. David A. Patterson says "When I travel across the state, I see communities suffering". He sees all of the people who are going through hard times, and he knows that they cannot even afford to get sick with the rising cost of health care. When something like that happens it means that things are bad, and they need to change. It is good that we have a new leader and hopefully he can lead us through this struggle.

Something that comes with the economic crisis is the loss of jobs all over the world, people are being laid off with no warning because of this. they are left having to fend for themselves. It is hard for them to find jobs because of all of the people who are loosing them, companies are not going to hire more people when they have just let many of them go, it is something hard that a lot of people have to deal with. The job loss is something that even happened in the time when FDR was president and it is happening now the NY Times says, "New York City’s unemployment rate jumped to 7.2 percent last month from 6.2 percent in November as some employers cut back on hiring for the holiday season and others continued laying off workers,..." Things are not getting better the percentage of unemployment went up got way higher in a matter of months. Many people are getting laid off, and others are not being hiring. The job world is deteriorating from previous years when our "lowest unemployment record was 4.3%".
The Ny times says, "The city ended the year with 3.21 million jobs, almost 50,000 fewer than it had at the end of 2007." there are less jobs and more unemployed people having to fend for themselves when they cannot even get a job, I wonder what they all have to do to make money. Things have repeated themselves and not for the good, but hopefully our new leader can help the situation at hand, with the help of others.

Both of these presidents went into office knowing that they were going to have to deal with all of the struggles the nation was going through, but they decided to take the challenge. Making their own plans on how they were going to change what was going on. They were both ready to take the challenge even though it is a big one. FDR said, " I am prepared under my constitutional duty to recommend the measures that a stricken nation in the midst of a stricken world may require. These measures, or such other measures as the Congress may build out of its experience and wisdom, I shall seek, within my constitutional authority, to bring to speedy adoption." He was ready to take on what was coming to him through drastic measures, and he would even use the wisdom of congress as help and support for what he had to do. He probably knew that he was not able to do it all on his own so he got help from others that were there to help him. Obama has to now face the things that are so similar, to the struggles FDR faced. he came into presidency to help our nation, and he needs the support of all of us, he said these words in his inauguration address. "Let it be told to the future world ... that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive...that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet (it)." This quote is kind like saying that the country as a whole is going to come together and face these struggles. It is truth because we as a country are suffering and when we flourish we will all flourish. He is basically saying that he is taking the challenge, and facing what is to come,he will not turn back and run but he will face it even though it is a great obstacle in his path. Both of these leaders were not afraid to do something they faced their fears and just took it all in, that shows they are good men that that will be in history for a long time, for the good or the bad.

Our President!!

"We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness."


The quote says something strong to me, we have been through so much struggle in America and no we are also in a time of crisis, but Obama said we are still a young nation, and that called out to me because our nation has been here long, but what i think he was trying to say was that we are still learning and there are still many more struggles to come. When people are young it is said that they make a lot of mistake s because they don't know about everything that is out there. Our nation's leaders still make mistakes but we are learning from them and every year something new is coming into our world. Like he said, "it is time to set childish things aside", our generation, our nation has to take things seriously, learn from other mistakes and not let them repeat themselves.

This relates to everyday life because it is something new that has come to us, something different, that many did not want, and a lot of people feared. but nonethe less it has come, things are changing hopefully for the better. Our nation has gown so much from times of segregation to now being able to come together as one and have the unfamiliar take place. Hopefully our nations leaders will learn from previous mistakes, and help make the world we are living in better not worse. They have to think critically and pay attention to everything happening around them, it is like any other situation that has to be analyzed before you jump into it. That is how people make good decisions. This does show equality because he is our first black president,even though he is not full black he is still part black, and those characteristics have taken over his appearance and I am sure that if we were still in the times of slavery, or segregation, others wouldn't care that he is only half black they would just look at the color of his skin and thrust hatred upon him without hesitation. Those things have changed thank god, and now we are in a time were people are all equal.

What is he for??

When comparing both articles, "Bush to Protect Three Areas In Pacific" and "Bush's Seven Deadly Environmental Sins" there is a mix of ideas. In the very first article they are talking about how Bush is helping keep a big amount of ocean safe that is bigger than California. He is making three new marine national monuments, these monuments are suppost to help preserve the marine life and the ecosystems. Bush wanting to build these monuments contradicts his previous environmental record. This article also talks about how bush is doing something now that is new because he resisted the mandatory curbs of the greenhouse gasses, that cause climate change that we are having. by the end of his term he will have protected more ocean than any person in history. The first article says, "by the end of his term he will have protected more ocean than any person in history" I think it is funny that he did not want to help the people with he climate change as well as our environment, but now all of a sudden when he is about to be out of office he making a big sanctuary for marine life, that's kinda odd.

The second article "Bush's Seven Deadly Environmental Sins" talks about Bush's environmental record, most of the things on there are negative aspects of what Bush has done while in office and how they are going to stay with us even after he is not in office anymore. It talks about seven instances where bush did something wrong, it also talks about how President elect Barrack Obama is going to have to be the one to fix the problems that Bush mad while in office, after everyone of the "sins" Obama's plan was mention, one of his plans was to.. "Uphold his campaign promise to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050."


Both of these articles had evidence and quotes which is really good. They both have their own separate ideas although some of them maybe negative That is what the writer was thinking and you can see that in the writing. It is like one of them is showing something positive that he did which contradicts his environmental record, and the other show the negative that he did in his environmental record. So If you didn't know what it was the sevens sins article shows you something that makes the two articles connect in some way.

internship man!!

1. What do you hope to learn or discover about the "adult" world of work while you are at your internship?

i expect to learn a lot about the adult world,like how hings can get hard. I think that when there is a challenge it can be good because it is something new to overcome,and then once you have overcome that challenge you can be proud of your work ,and all of the things you had to go through to get there. A challenge is always good for anyone,there are always obstacles in life that you have to face, now the thing is whether you are going to take the challenge, or give up at the first sign of hardship. I will like to learn how to be more independent because it is like having a job, but you don't get paid. It is a big responsibility and we have to show that we can do it. i hope to get a very good experience from it, and learn all that i can from the field that I will be interning at.

2. What do you hope to learn or discover about yourself and your identity while you are at your internship this semester?

I hope to learn how I can handle things in life because internship is like another class and I have to manage that class as well as all of the other classes that I am going to have this semester. I want to learn how I will work under pressure, if I am ever under pressure. Will I handle it wisely? or just give up? I feel that going through this I hope to learn whether I want to be in the working field of whatever I did on my internship, I will be able to either eliminate that choice or put it on my list of things that I want to do. I hope to learn whether I want to do something like that or if I want to change course. that will be very valuable to me when it comes to going to college I will know what I want to study. That is always something good to know.


3. What goals do you have for yourself for your internship experience?

Some goals that i have would have to be that
*I want to learn as much as I can from everything that I do.
*get something out f the experience
*Something else would have to be that I have a good project for my internship
