Thanksgiving Dinner 2013

For this year's Thanksgiving I spent the evening over my cousins house. The day before Thanksgiving, me and my mother prepared our favorite foods. The foods that we prepared were cornbread dressing, sweet potato pie, greens, honeybaked ham, and potato salad. Every Thanskgiving, it is our tradition to cook those foods for our Thanksgiving meal. Before we eat our meal, my family and I have a group prayer to acknowledge our relatives that could not be here on earth with us and to remind ourselves how grateful we are to have a nice homecooked meal on our table to eat. My cousins also prepared food for our Thanksgiving dinner. The food my cousins prepared are sweet potatoes, green beans, collard greens, turkey, and ham. For desert there was fruit pizza, chocolate fudge cake, and apple pie cobbler. At the end of the evening before we say out goodbyes, we decide who will be the Thanksgiving host for next year.

If I Could Change One Thing in the World

If I could change one thing in the world it would be poverty. I would change the fact that there is poverty in the world because there are too many people who are unemployed or just became unemployed. The object of life is to live happy and be happy because life itself is too short. Everyone has one life that was given to them. If people cannot live life as an average middle class person without food, a place to practice personal hygiene or better yet a place to call home, in their hearts they would be unhappy. Today, poverty is so strong that there is even an area called Skid Row in Los Angeles, California that thousands of homeless people live on each day. Even in food kitchens, thousands of homeless people come to have a hot meal to keep moving forward and to gain energy in order to live til the next day. Hoping that tomorrow will be a better and brighter day. 

If I Could Go Someplace I have Never Gone To Before

If I could go somewhere that I have never gone to before, I would go to Paris, Francd. I would travel to Paris because it is a great place to study Fashion and Interior Design. I think this because Paris is known to be the Fashion Capital for different genres of design. Paris, France also benefits Art skills such as painting, drawing, and architecture. By learning about Paris's culture and unique architecture, I can learn new types of  Parisian interior design styles so I can expand my designing abilities.

Why Technology is Important

Technology is an important aspect in our lives today. Today's technology includes computers, iPods, Tv's, GPS's, and E readers. Hospitals even use technology to help patients in need. Computers help make life a little easier because it allows us to type letters without using an electric or manual typewriter to type papers. Without iPods, we couldn't listen to music digitally and connect them to radios without putting in a bulky cd in a portable CD player.  GPS's allow us to navigate far distances with a touch of a button without using a map. Using a map is not only time consuming but requires the knowledge to know how to read the map. E readers allow us to read books digitally also. With computers we can buy our books online or on the e reader itself to save the trip to the library. Without technology in hospitals, we could not monitor someone's heart rate or vital signs to ensure that their well. Without technology, our world could not operate the same way and people would not be able to get treated for their illnesses because they could not be diagnosed by the correct technology needed.
