Do Now 11/18

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." ~Mahatma Gandhi 
For some people, they couldn't care less about other people in this world. For me, what ignites my desire to help make this world a better place is the that I hate to see people struggle. I will always help somebody in need, I'll give what I have. I wish that everyone in our world can be happy, but that is obviously not possible. For my life goals, I would not only like to accomplish something that pleases and satisfies me, but that can also contribute to others. I would love to see me living a good happy life, and if so I will also do all I can to help the community and others around me

11/11 Do Now

Hearing about what happened in the Philippines is truly devastating. It is so sad to think what these people are going through. Having went through Hurricane Sandy was rough, but I can only imagine what these people are going through, cause in comparison.. Sandy was nothing. I really feel bad and hope the people are able to eventually recover.
