Compassionate Science

Compassionate Scientists are the reason why we have what we have today. Many people don't realize that some scientific breakthroughs didn't just blow up in someones face all of a sudden, it took time to happen. A compassionate scientists is one who dedicates, and has the drive to make a difference. Many other factors come to play but those are some of the most important ones. Not only are they in science, but they also take part in medical advances, and social improvements. A lot of these scientists have a common goal that they want to acquire, a difference in the world that they want to make. For example, Mike Ebeling wanted to make a difference in that young boys life. He had drive and dedication that came from personal observations. He had young boys of his own and it would hurt him permanently inside if he saw that they were missing both of their arms. Many people wouldn't consider themselves as "Compassionate Scientist" material, but once they relate to a certain situation that someone else is going through they instantly start to feel as if they can help. I feel as if that would be the only way I'd become a compassionate scientist. I feel sorry and what not for those in need, but I'm not going to sit here and lie to you that I'll do everything in my power to make a difference, because I know I won't. I attempt by donating money and helping when I can. But to say that I will fight for that cause wouldn't be a valid statement. It's not just me either, that's the majority of people. They just don't admit it. But in the near future I know that there will be something that affects me in which I want to make a difference in.

The Future.... DUN DUN DUN

We as people make many mistakes but we level it out with great outcomes. We have made some things happen that people would've never even thought of. I have a lot of things in mind in which I believe will eventually come. One of which includes floating chairs. People are just getting lazier and lazier and the only way for companies to meet up to those standards it to build around that. I believe and also hope a bit that they do create chairs that float and bring you around. Not wheelchairs, flying chairs. They have a cup holder and a screen that's enabled to allow you to see Netflix. If that's what I believe the future looks like then there's endless possibilities. The good outcome which will come with the future is the inventions that will allow people to not make any movement in order to obtain what they want. The mistake is allowing people to have this power. The common body mass has raised since the 50's. That's a small amount of time. Imagine now in 2054 what it'll be. We will eventually be to darn lazy to even think about what we want. This will lead to a revolution of machines that will do everything for us. Which will lead to us obeying machines. Think about it, if we already have cars that drive for us imagine what will come next. 
Evolution will look something like this:
Dinosaurs > Caveman (people) > Machines
There will probably be good outcomes as in medicine and cures for diseases but it's not going to be our doing. 

And thats what I think the future will look like. :)

The Time I Laughed Really, Really Hard

The one time that I laughed so hard that I will never forget is when I was with my neighbors. We had been staying out that night and we were very bored. Soooo we eventually started thinking about things to do to keep us busy. We were only middle schoolers so we came up with ding dong ditch. We were having the time of our life. I even went to some houses. It was getting to about 11:30 at night and we were getting pretty tired. My friend Jackie hadn't gone so we figured if we sent her then that would be our last house. There's a very nice mansion down my street so we decided to hit it. When we got there we all took our spots in which we could watch but not get caught. We then told Jackie to hurry up and go do "the job". We didn't realize that there is a little hill up the driveway of the house. We obviously didn't care as well. So she's slowly going up then and rings the bell and suddenly all the lights turn on! We all start freaking out and start waving our hands in signal of telling her to get out of there! So she starts to panic and then slips on a rock and starts rolling down the driveway! So she found it easy to start crawling once she reached the walkway. No one ever opened the door but all you could hear was a bunch of neighborhood kids laughing all over the street. I couldn't contain myself I had to go home and sit for about 30 min before I stopped laughing. I still thank Jackie to this day for allowing me to have that wonderful laugh.

"Modern Times"

Charlie Chaplin is one of the most influential actors that the movie business has ever seen. He was also much more than an actor, and his film "Modern Times" shows that. In the film Chaplin creates the character "The Little Tramp" . This character goes around living his life while he unconsciously gets into trouble. No matter what he stays positive and looks at the brighter sides of EVERY situation. Overall the character is amusing, funny, and uplifting.

Bullying

The common student can say that they have either been a witness to bullying or have been bullied or even bullied someone else themselves. Bullying has became something that isn't out of the ordinary. A recent study from ABC news has shown that 30% of kids are either bullies or are being bullied. It's starting to become more and more common. You'd expect it to only happen in schools, but it has started to grow onto the internet. Social media has been a big factor to this on going problem. Young people are mainly the ones that have made this epidemic grow. Some kids are so harsh and mean they take advantage of social websites and use it against others. Many of the kids that are affected are innocent and have never made any harm to anyone. No one should be bullied, or bully. If you see this happen don't be afraid to speak up.
