Living Thin: One Grl's Fight for a FULL Life

     By reading some of these stories the one about Anorexia stood out the most to me. I think it interest me so much because I didn’t really notice how serious it could be. And it’s really scary to think about that someone close to you could have it and not show any signs of it.  I’m not for sure how this could tie into my upcoming project but I know one thing I could think about is that you really can’t judge a book by its cover because truthfully you have no clue what they could be going through. Like for people who actually have to suffer with the sickness makes me so sad because I eat like crazy and to think that food could have so much of a negative impact makes me think more about the greater things in life; than just being stuck on the small unimportant things.

Kids Who Give Back

        The millennium goal that I read was the 2010 UN Summit. This was about poverty, hunger and diseases. Even though we don’t have poverty and as many hunger issues around here we could still use this and it could help us. What I mean by this is that we can help people who have less than us; instead of just brushing it off your shoulder. Truthfully I thing helping the people who are in need could help in more ways than one.

            The problem is that people are struggling; with hunger, diseases, and also living issues. These issues are effecting people’s lives every day. And it’s causing people to actually lose their lives. And it’s getting really bad and we all need to find a way to end this. The possible solution was to give vaccinations, cleaning up the streets and starting a food storage thing to help with the hunger.

            The reason why this was so interesting to me because I really do like to know about major issues that effect other countries. This is because it allows me to see how lucky I am. I see this because sometimes you take your life for granted and other people are wishing that they could be in your shoes. It’s just sometimes good to know the major issues around you, besides just the issues and problems around you.

Reading Response Redo: A One- Time Opportunity

            The article that I read talked about why punctuation and grammar are so important. Not only did they explain why they were so important, they also gave examples. They also mentioned that our easy communication could also have a really big impact on how we write. This is because when we text, tweet or something in those lines, we have a tendency to shorten things or berate. And as we do this on a regular it can and could affect how we write.

            “Little things add up”, this passage stood out to me because it’s true. You may not have that many major mistakes in your writing but the tiny things can add up to a major problem. For instance it could just be that you forgot to put a few commas here and there; that doesn’t seem like much but if you do it more than once it could cause some issues in your writing.

            “Is at an all-time high”, as I was reading this I really didn’t notice that all time didn’t have a hyphen. And that could become an issue, what I mean by this is that we over look things and it could be something small. But, we as whole really need to pay attention to those things so we can become better at grammar and making our writings better.

            I really don’t have a connection to the rules, just by reading this makes me realize that I have a lot of work to do on making myself better at punctuation and also grammar. To me I really just think I just forget the tiny things and it causes more problems than I need. Reading this also gave me a better since on how to write. What I mean by this is that I need to work on expanding my vocab. And if I do this I feel like it could help me get my grammar in order. Another thing that could help me is reading more books and also practice.



           

              

Start Something That Matters: Reading Response #2

The three stories that I chose were Fashion 4 Freedom, Etkie, OAK Lifestyle. Fashion 4 Freedom is a social enterprise of design innovators. The vison is to establish a sustainable production; artisanal heritage, improves livelihoods of disadvantages. Etkie is a bottom line jewelry company that sources all of their products from struggling artisans. As for the OAK Lifestyle, they have bags that are high quality backpacks that result in a donated backpack and school supplies to a child in need, when purchased.

                My passion is fashion. I love to create and make things that are different. The stories that I have read connect to me because they all are creative and they all think outside the box. When I get older I really want to have my own fashion line but first I want to become a fashion buyer. Also I noticed that in each vison they wanted to somehow inspire others. On the other hand while reading I found it interesting that they wanted to give back and help others around you. One of my other passions is to help people so that also ties into some of my future goals.

                Not only did these stories just catch my attention because they are about fashion but they also make me think about other things that I could possibly do in this field. What I mean by this is that I could help people, make clothes, and also be happy with what I do. Also I feel like fashion is a way to express yourself not only with just clothes but it can help with other things. And me personally would love to have that impact on others.
