My Letter to the President
Dear Mr. Obama,
While the nation seems to be focusing on matters of health care reform and the H1N1 Flu vaccine, I think an equally significant issue is being over looked and has been for some time now.  The issue I am referring too is the nation’s percent of impoverished people and [...]

Figuratively speaking, becoming impoverished can happen in a matter of seconds.  An article in Forbes about America’s most impoverished cities says that “data from the Census Bureau, released in September, show that during the first year of the recession, incomes fell farther and poverty leaped higher than during almost any other time in a generation” [...]

So far the implementation of my project has just been a lot of brainstorming on my own. I reached out to other members of the class who said they want to work together and so far only one person has responded.  This has discouraged me or anything but I think it is really crunch time [...]

      The three problems I addressed in last week’s blog were problems of disease epidemics, poverty, and the lack of equal education in the world.  Although I focused on the problem of disease, I think at this point the one problem I could really try to make a difference in is the problem of poverty [...]

      I think the three biggest problems that face the world are out of control disease epidemics, poverty, and the failure to educate all people.  Not one of these problems can or will be solved without a combined effort from all of the world’s people; nor will they be solved in a short period of [...]

      Just as I start to write this first blog entry, the fact that this day, August 29, 2009, is the actual fourth year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina comes to my mind.  When this event took place, I was in high school also beginning my second year just as I’m embarking on my second year [...]
