After hearing that there was no such thing as the bible I had to figure why not. The reason is simple but people tend to overlook it. There are so many religious books that tell a story about their God and his creation. With that many versions there can not be a specific thing [...]

My Katrina story
Even though it’s been several months since it all occurred, I still remember it as if it was yesterday. I have told of certain parts of my story so many times that I am really tired of it and can not believe that it happened all at the same time. We [...]

Initially, I was trying to come up with a super extraordinary project that will impact my surroundings, various communities, and even the entire world.

One of the biggest problems is poverty. The reason why this is such a problem is because the people have no education. I think that they should implement some sort of “High School” for older people who are homeless and not very financial secure. The government should make qualifications for Medicare stating that if you [...]

One of the very few things I know about “The Bible” (“the good book”) is that it’s a collection of books or stories from different sources that are compiled together, so there’s no such thing as “The Bible.” The Bible is divided into sections: the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Tanak, and the Apocrypha. [...]

As I previously blogged, I see racism, HIV/AIDS, and homelessness as severe problems in our world today. The problem I see that I think I can best solve is homelessness. I figure that I see homelessness more frequently than overt racism or HIV/AIDS patients. Away to solve homelessness is either to tax to and enact [...]

I feel that the growing threat in my home country of Africa is one of the more upsetting things that is taking place in the world. Being that I am from Nigeria it hits me very hard that so little is being done by the average American person to educate people in Africa about AIDS, [...]

As I stated in my short summary, my project will focus on the problem of ineficient education systems in the world. The lack of motivation given to students by their parents and teachers is one of the problems with such systems. The average child would not attend school if they weren’t coerced into it or [...]

The week before hurricane Katrina my family kept calling me asking me what I was going to do about the hurricane. I responded to them all saying “What hurricane?” because I am completely unaware of life outside of my dorm room because I have no television and wasn’t that savvy with my computer at that [...]

There are so many problems that are facing the world today. Three problems that I see facing me today are failing school systems, prejudice, and poverty.

The three major problems I choose are HIV/AIDS, the misuse of environmental resources, and the misguidance of our young females. First and foremost, HIV/AIDS is infecting [...]

I think that the three biggest problems facing the world today are the lack of environmental protection, the lack of responsibility, and the lack of education. I believe that the lack of environmental protection is a problem because if we don’t take care of the earth, then we won’t have an earth to live [...]
