SELF

In my time here at the IKE BOX I have really changed as a person and the people that I hang out with are also different. I have also learned a lot about myself and what I would like to do with my life. In the fresh start class here at the IKE BOX I have been exposed to a lot of outdoor work with the forestry department and I have also looked into possible jobs so that i can start my career as a forestry worker. I want to work in forestry because I love the outdoors and the wilderness and I think that it is important that we conserve energy and do whatever it takes to keep or home as natural as possible.

PLANE CRASH!

I crashed hard into this jungle of opportunity when I ran into the harsh life of what normal people call reality. The ike box and this freshstart class helped me get back up on my feet and get on track with school. Ike helped me get a freshstart and also gives me something to look forward to.

Benefits of trees

Trees are very beneficial in todays world with all the timber products and the things that biproducts are used for, also,they inhale the carbon dioxide which we exhale and convert it into oxygen so that it is easier for us to breathe.

People I meet

A lot of the people I hang out with I would have nerver expected in the past to befriend but I guess, over time, things change and your likes and dislikes kinda determine who you hangout with and what you do.

Advice

I have to say that the best advice I have ever had was simply to be myself. Don't follow the crowd and be your own person is what I was told. That was the best and most life changing advice I ever received. 

Imperialism

The US in my opinion is a very imperialistic country, we invade the space of other countries, take control and then say it is for world peace. A great metaphor said by Janice Joplin "Bombing for peace is like F***ing for virginity"  really explains the US government in blunt terms. We are invading other countries and taking control so much that the only that keeps the countries from being completely taken over by us is their name. The US is very IMPERIALISTIC!

When I die...

My death be amazing and it will be remembered by all. I want to be remembered as a wonderful person who was loved by many and hated by few. I want to be remembered as a loving and caring human being. Some goals I want to accomplish before I pass on are quite simple. I want to get married, and have children. I want to become a cumputer specialist. I was very much a family man and I loved all of my children and my beutiful wife. Thereare some things that I regreted like my drug use in my younger days but i cant change that now that I am dead. My life was a very memorable and my spirit will never die.

The Constitution

The constitution should not be changed because if you ask me I think that there is too much censorship as it is so in that case they dont need to be changed. It is up to the adults who own the tv and cable to control what their kids watch not the government

Abortion

People have sex and people get pregnant, it is their choice to have sex in the first place SO it should be up to the parent whether or not they want to keep the baby. On the other hand think of it this way, people say that getting rid of the baby isn't murder because the fetus is not technically living. That makes no sense because if it weren't living then it would not be able to move or grow or anything. It is murder, and is abortion should have the same consequences as in a murder trial. If you are against abortion then don't get one.

Legalization Of Marijuana

MARIJUANA is a green drug the really brings you together as a unit, like one big family. This is a non addicting drug and is very widely used. Hemp is also a very useful byproduct of cannabis will greatly increase the oxygen levels. Hemp is also very good clothing material. MARIJUANA SHOULD BE LEGALIZED

Genetic Mutation

honestly, I would never want to genetically modify my own children unless it was for the better like against disease and deformities. Genetic mutation would cause all sorts of problems because it would make everyone "Perfect" and no one should be perfect.

Identical Twins

If two twins are separated at birth they will both grow up the same because in a way they are the same people. If one lives with a wealthy family sure, they will be better off than the one who live in poverty but still if the were ever to meet they would still be able to get along.I t will be weird as hell because they find someone who is like a clone of them selves. I don't think i would be able to cope with that and it would probably be hard for them as well. However when they find out they have a sibling that is not doing nearly as well or from the other side way better that would create some tension.

Value

What do I value? I really value my room because it my own personal space an I don't have to share it with anybody. A relationship that I really value is the bond i have with my family, without them, I would have a horrible life. And an idea that I really value is my... well I guess just my values and morals that i live by.

Socialism or Capitalism?

Here in the US we run under a democratic capitalistic government and it seems to work fine but just remember there is no such thing as a free lunch, in the US we need to work hard to earn a living. Capitalism works however it isn't at all equal it is much more of a make your own way system. Either you are better off or your not.

Shellburg falls

I had a great time on the trip yesterday it was very wet but it was also really cool the go hiking and see all of that wilderness. I learned that conservation is a big part of environmental protection and i was really happy to see what had been done to make Shellburg a beautiful experience.

Cells

Prokaryotic cells are cells than have no nucleus, in fact the word Prokaryotic means " before the nucleus" so really all they are are very simple organisms with little more than a cell membrane and circular DNA strands. Eukaryotic cells on the other hand are very complex cells with a nucleus among many other organelles. Their DNA is even more complex covered with proteins call histones.
Plant and Animal cells are similar in many aspects but the three major differences are that plant cells can create their own food with the use of their chloroplasts which animal cells do not have. Another important difference is that plant cells have a cell wall animal cells do not, and another very important differences is the vacuole. In plant cells there is a giant vacuole the accounts for 90% of the cells volume, where as in animal cells there are usuall one or more much smaller vacuoles.

advertising

Banned Mastercard Commercial | Funny Jokes at JibJab

Advertising is overwhelming these days and gets very annoying however, advertising is one of the biggest revenues in the media industry. Some ads are good and some bad but it depends on the audience really, for instance, putting an ad for condoms on a channel like Nickelodeon would be completely taboo, however, seeing an ad like that on comedy central would work out just fine.
There is a ton of advertising these days and it is mostly geared toward the 15-25 are group because they are the most appealed by what the ad is trying to tell them. For instance, shampoo commercials where there is a beautiful actor or actress is naked in the shower that works because it will make them want to buy the product because they think it will make them beautiful. Some advertising is more for older people like medicine ads in magazines. Advertising may be overwhelming but it is a huge part of our countries economy.

Creationism

In my opinion, students such as myself should be taught the theories about evolution. When I say "theories" I do mean all of them from Darwins theory of natural selection to the theory that god created the heavens and earth along with everthing on it. Others say that it should not be taught in school because the truth is not a known fact. However, teaching all of the theories rather than any specific one should be ok because it not telling kids that one theory is either right or wrong. In the eyes of some people it is not right to teach creationism because it completely againsed their beliefs. Evolution should be taught in school because it a scientific subject.

housewives

Apparently there are people who believe that we should paid to take care of our things like it is a job where you have a boss and earn a salary. Cleaning hose and taking care of your kids is a responsibility, NOT a job and people who think otherwise are crazy. House wives I agree do not get as much credit as they should but that doesn't mean they should get paid just to stay home because i is not a business it is a house there is no payroll so therefore, no pay.

white christrmas

Snow is always a plus on christmas however, it doesn't have a tinker's damn to do with christmas. I am sure that bethlehem wasn't cover in snow on the evening of jesus' birth. BUT it is cool when it snows on christmas. And thats all I have to say about white christmas
