//Why did Kahn want to go all the way to D.C. just to tell the president that he wasn't a terrorist?// I think Kahn wanted wanted to fly to D.C. because he wanted to let the president know that not all muslims are bad people. In the begining of the movie Kahn's mother told him that there are only two types of people in the world, good people and bad people. I think when she told him that it stuck with him, and since his step son was killed by racists, he really wanted to tell the president that he should make it a point to adress the American people that it's wrong and it should be stopped. //Story of Stuff// My Reaction on finding out how material things are created, used and disposed was shocking because people are willing to get paid to go work in an area full of toxic fumes floating around in the air, to create things that are going to be wasted or replaced. They're wasting our resources and the people's time. Because of this we might run out of our resources in our generation. //My Favorite Person:// My favorite person is my best friend Lauren. Lauren and I have been best friends friends for three years. She has taught me to be myself and not care about what society is saying. Lauren and I can act stupid and silly infront of eachother and not judge one another. One of the reasons I think we're so close is beacuse we're always there for eachother, in good times and in bad. When I need a shoulder to cry on, she offers her's, and when i just want to talk, she's only a phone call away. I can tell her anything and trust her to keep it to herself. Lauren can see past my "I'm fine" or "No, im not hungry". She can tell when i'm feeling blue and help me move past my problems.We've always talked about going to U.T. Austin together, the only problem is she really wants to go to Eurpoe to persure her dream in becomin a professional ballerina, which is fine because I know she's always wanted to be that and I support her 100%. Lauren and I have shared many memories from school, to my house, the mall, movies and Fiesta Texas. One of my favorite memories with her was when she spent the night at my house and we walked to the gas station and ended up talking about how much we hate when guys sag their pants/shorts and showoff their boxers, we still can't seem to understand why boys think is so attractive. We found it funny how we were talking about it so we ended up writing a song that i will never forget because it was so catchy.

//Vacation Summer 2012:// Something thats been on my mind lately is were my parents are going to decide where we are going to end up going for vacation. My dad said he was thinking about Hawaii again because we all love it, it so beautiful there and the people there are so friendly.I've been wanting to go to the beach so badly this summer and since the places my parents have been talking about going all have beaches, i'll be happy to where ever we end up going. //Journal 3:// Yesterday when I left school I went to go pick up my sister from prep at St. Mary's University. We had to wait in line for about 45 minutes which was a drag. Once we left I found out one of my friends that i haven't seen for about 3 weeks was at Central Catholic Highschool, which is only about 10-15 minutes away from St. Mary's. He was there for his basketball practise. I begged my mom to let me go see him, and she finally said yes! once i got there his practise was already over and his mom was about 3 minutes away, which was quite disappointing because I didn't get to spend much time with him. But even thoug we couldn't catch up very much, I still treasure every moment I spend with him. After all that jazz I went home, and took about a 30 minute nap, woke up and had a delicious dinnner, took a shower and got ready for bed. //If I were to move:// If I were to move to a different country/continent it would really be a big change for me, i'd probably really enjoy it, but it would also depend on where i'd be moving. It would give me a chance to start over and make new friends. It would give me the opportunity to learn about the culture and the languae they speak. //Journal 2:// So last night i went on a run and burned of some calories I gained. I wouln't be suprised if i didn't though because as I was running a black cat crossed my path and nearly scared me half to death. My friend Ryan said i will most likely have bad luck for the next 7 days, and since i screamed it would be worse. After that I took a shower, brushed my teeth and got ready for bed. //Journal 1:// I'm thinking about going home after school and taking a long nap. Then afterward i wanted to go to Buffalo Wild Wings or iHop to eat, but that's probably nnot going to happen. From there I would go home and run around my neighborhood with my neighbors for exercise. Once i'm done running I would take a shower, brush my teeth, put my pajamas on and get ready for bed. //Brain Documentary//: During the brain documentary I was thinking about how all the functions of the brain wor, and if you were to be missing a part of the brain or if it wasn't functioning properly you couldn't enjoy life to the fullest. For exapmle, if you were missing your nypocapus you would basically have no memory. It taught me that you have to appreiciate everything you have because you never know what you've got until it's gone.
