My Favorite Meal

My favorite meal has beans in it. It has a taste that kicks you in the throat. It smells of spices and seasoned meat. It takes forty to forty five minutes to make it. The color is red. My favorite dessert includes common aphrodisiac that everyone loves. I have cravings for it all of the time. My favorite drink is very strong and clear. It would take you to certain heights that you could not imagine.

A cure for minor cases of Alzheimers.

Eli Lilly experiment on the Alzheimers disease may have potential to cure minor cases of this disease. But the experiment will have to continue on for a few more years because everything is not yet taken care of yet. This is something very huge. I never thought of finding a cure for this disease. When they do this would be very great because my great grandmother has Alzheimers. It is vey hard to have to tell her my name and who I am everytime that I visit her or she visits me. This is something very touching to me and people who have it or know people that have the disease. I just hope that the process is done and done in a timely manner.

Christmas !!!

Christmas is almost here, just one more week. I am so excited for the Christmas break. I am going to my father's house to relax and spend his money lol. I am going to enjoy this break and I hope that it goes by really slowly. Everyone needs a break and as a Senior my breaks to come fast but last long. I am not sure on what I want for Christmas just yet but I do know I will shop until I cannot shop anymore. What are your plans for Christmas break? What do you want for Christmas?

Where is the iPhone T-Mobile ?

Ok, so I have T-Mobile for my service and I really love it. But I would love it more if they had the iPhone 5 right now. I am able to get it but it is taking forever to come out. My plan is great and I like the service that is given, all I want is for the iPhone 5 to come out. Some say that it is coming out on Christmas day but some say that it is coming out in January. I guess it is all in being patient because I do want to make sure that everything is done correctly so that nothing goes wrong with the phone when it does come out.

If I had 3 Wishes.....

1. My first wish would to have all of my college expenses paid for, including law school. I want this wish so that all I have to worry about is keeping my grades up and having fun. I think that this is a great wish because I want to go to Wake Forest University. This is a private college and they are very expensive. Having this wish granted would get a lot of stress off of my shoulders. And law school is not cheap either.

2. My second wish would be to be very rich. I would like to help all of my family out with anything and that would only happen if I had a lot of money to allow that to happen. I would like for all of family members to live a very comfortable lifestyle. This would make me a very happy person.

3. My last wish would to be able to travel all around the world. I want to travel all over the world to be able to experience a little of everything. I always move around so I don't just want to stay in the same place. I also want my children to experience the same exact thing.

Holidays, What does it mean to me?

What I like about the holidays are that we get to get out of school and that I get to spend time with my family. The most important thing is that I get to spend time with my family because we are always busy. Sometimes we are all to busy to call one another and make sure that everyone is alright. When my brothers, sisters, and I get home, we go in our room and lock the door. We are so busy making sure that homework is done and then we end up going to sleep until our mother gets home. I feel that holidays are good because we get days off from whatever we are doing and we have to see one another all day. So instead of wasting time doing nothing we entertain one another. That is what all holidays are for, even getting to travel to visit other family members, especially if you haven't seen each other in a very long time. That is what I like most about the holidays.

The Good Side Of Social Media

Using technology and social networks do have positive sides to them. Here are a list of how they have made a positive impact on the world or even in small areas. :
1. Many businesses use the social media to further their businesses. In most of the corporate world, their main focus is social media. They spend most of their time on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to make sure that their business and what they have to offer is put out there. It has been said that it has raised the sales of their products or services. This just goes to show how much social media has an affect on many people.
2. Yesterday, a story was publsihed about a Diabetes Camp and how they use the social media to help those who have diabetes. To be able to help pay for the medicines and other cures for diabetes they have sponsered many blogs, such as Sparling, to help with the expenses. They also use technology and social media to warn Type 1 Diabetes patients on what is good and what is not. They also tell if their are some health dangers or scares to watch out for.
3. Another way that social media is used for the good is receiving news. People feel that the things that are posted on Facebook or Twitter are more accurate, sometimes, than what is on the news. A lot of people can find out news way faster than the news on television.
4. A lot of journalists say that they get a lot of their stories from social media. Social media and technology helps with Journalists further their careers because they get to publish their stories first before anyone because they got their information from social media.
5. Social media is used for good causes in many schools, from grade school to college. There are many blogs, twitter, and facebook pages to ensure that they put out the message that drugs, sex, and  a lot of drama is not good.

Social media and Technology

 

Today, many people use social media and technology for positive things and some for negatives. Technology is being used all over the world for many reasons and everyone is using it from toddlers to elderly people. Some good had been used lately.

An example of how social media has been used for good, in the end, is when a tragic event happened on October 25, 2012. A young girl named Felicia Garcia committed suicide because of bullying. She did not come from the best home. Both of her parents died when she was very young and she was a foster child. It was said that football players taunted her online because of her many piercings and because she was a foster child. One day, as she was walking from school with a friend, she waited for a train to come and as it approached she threw herself in front of it. Her friend Briana Torres tried to stop her but she snatched away from her and she was reported dead that afternoon. Many friends and family created an anti cyber-bullying Facebook page to stop further suicides because of bullying.

Athletes even get caught up in the social media and sometimes it costs them their jobs. On July 25, 2012 it was reported that a Greek athlete was expelled after she posted a racist comment on twitter. She apparently tweeted a "joke" about African immigrants. There was a very heated debate on whether it is fair for her to be kicked off of the team and I guess the voted that she be kicked off.

Celebrities use social media to further their careers. Many people such as Rihanna and Lady Gaga post many pictures and statuses and they have millions of followers on Twitter and on Facebook. They use the social media and technology to wish people well and send out their prayers. Recent posts were made for those who were affected by the storm Sandy.
