Dear Republican Kentucky state Senator Paul Hornback,

Standard

I’d like to report an issue. Child labor is not right and it’s disgusting. The comments you said about hard manual labor for children is not right. Children deserve more education and no hard manual labor. Even if kids should have hard manual labor they should have restrictions on kids for touching tobacco or smelling them. What if you had no choice to make your kids work on a tobacco farm without restrictions and they got sicker and sicker everyday. How would that make you feel. Think about the children’s families. My request is that you stop making kids farm in these toxic farms. And if that’s not possible, at least have the children wear protective gear while farming

Blogging Challenge Week 9: Going Overseas To…

Standard

Everybody’s saying that they want to visit France, China, Japan, or the Caribbean Islands. Not me. I want to do something a little different. I want to visit Polynesia. What is Polynesia you ask? It’s all the Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Have you ever looked at the Pacific Ocean on a globe and notice all of those little islands? That’s Polynesia!
When most people think of “vacation” or “islands” the first thing that may pop into your brain is maybe “Hawaii” or the resraunt “Islands.” Well not for me. I’ve already been to Oahu, Hawaii, but I’ve never been to Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, or any of the other islands in the Polynesian Triangle.
What are the islands of Polynesia you may ask? Well, there’s about over 1,000 islands scattering over the Pacific Ocean! Since there are so many, I’m just going to say the ones I know. There’s Tahiti, Samoa, Cook Islands, Tonga, Rapa Nui, Fiji, Hawaii, and many more. The reason why I want to visit all these islands is because I learn about all their cultures and I do dances from all of the islands.
Here are some links to blogs that are kinda like mine! : Thriya’s Blog Daizjah’s Blog

What I Thought About the Video: “Sharing Creative Works: An Illustrated Primer”

Standard

Hi everybody! Today I’m going to review the lesson from the video, “Sharing Creative Works: An Illustarated and Narrated Primer” by Alex Roberts, Rebecca Rojer, and John Phillips. First thing I’d like to mention is that if you haven’t seen the video, your out of luck… Haha just kidding. Here’s the link- Sharing Creative Works: An Illustrated Primer . Now let’s get down to buisiness. So here’s the question: What if I don’t want someone else to share or copy my work? People can’t use or share my work without permission because of © laws, or copyright laws.
Did you know that when you create something, it is automatically protected? Cool huh? Creative commons provides free licenses you can use to protect your work. $ means that people can sell or make profit from any of your work without permission. If it has a circle with a line through it, people can’t. And equal sign with a circle around it means that people can make changes to your work without your permission. Last but now least, a circle with a curved arrow inside, called the share alike, means that the terms you chose are honored.
That’s it for now. Just remember: You choose what you create and how it will be shared.

My Best Childhood Memory

Standard

I have so many memories, even ones from when I was 4. I remember horseback riding on my fourth birthday. And I remember how yesterday I went to the grocery store and bought bagels. But out of all of those memories, my best childhood memory was when I went to Lego Land® with my best friend, Alana, when I was in 3rd grade for my birthday. I remember when we picked her up from her house and drove all the way to San Diego to celebrate my birthday together. We went on all the rides. Alana told me that she remembers that her favorite ride was the dragon roller coaster. After we left, we went to my most favorite restraunt, Islands ®, and celebrated my birthday there as well. It was a day that I’ll never forget.

Outdoor School

Standard

Hello friends!

So recently me and my class went far away, to a place that goes by the name… SANTA BARBARA. In Santa Barbara, there is this amazing place called The Outdoor School. It was the best place I have ever been to. We hiked day and night. Everybody in my class were in different cabins. My cabin’s name was Sespi. I was with my friends Gaby and Alana. We were also with other girls from different schools. First on our schedule for every day, we have breakfast. The food was so yummy. And there was this thing called ort. Ort is wasted food. We try to have as little ort as possible. Next we had our morning hikes. We all had different hiking groups. My hiking group’s name was the Hornets. We had different Naturalists for each hike. What is a Specialist you ask? Specialists are like councilors, but have a huge love of nature. So my first hike at the Outdoor School was the animal hike. We learned about how animals live their life in the forest. The naturalist for that hike was a lady named Aspen. She is Hilarious! We played games and walked on the bottom of a lake. Try to think about how that makes sense. Then after the morning hike, we have lunch. After lunch we have a special activity. My special activity for the first day was the hike to Lake Cachuma-uma-uma with Mountain Goat.
