Hetch Hetchy Valley

Yosemite is so beautiful,

The article Hetch Hetchy Valley by John Muir made me research more I wanted to see in photos other than my imagnation searching the web I came apon these photos I found on yosemite fun.com . Amazing isen’t It? Maybe I’m going a little over board but it’s just so beautiful. What got me about reading this article is how could someone think about distroying a magnifasent place that god gave to man for enjoyment. That just goes to show just how much we care about our enviroment. What matters to us is how can we make it to work on time,pay bills, finish homework just getting by our hecktech everyday life right? We don’t look around while walking to class and observe birds flying above us trying to get by their day as well being weird yet true. Here’s man trying to distroy this beautiful place  it’s upsetting to know that Ive never been to Yosemite National Park and I may never go but then again you just never know I would love to go and see for myself the beauty it presents in these photos. I’m picturing myself standing in that beautiful medow looking outword and seeing nothing but flowers in all sorts of colors especialy with a sunset. Learning just how important the enviroment is I take an extra look around and see a little bird pick food from the grass flying away yet coming back for more so small its part of our world that man ignores yet this small animal has a home. A home we all belong to and these plants, animals everything that depend on what mother earth has to offer so why is it so hard for us to do our part to keep our home alive insted distroying it.

Journal

Thanks for commenting on my blog I was thinking that my stuff was just too boring! As for my experience at the Aquarium that  knight was great! We had pizza,lemonade and a chocolate chip cookie for dinner, believe me it was better than a the peanut butter sandwich we had for lunch yuck….. Spending the knight at the aquarium we got to sleep with the sea otters we also got a knight tour of the big tanks in the aquarium feeding the sharks and other sea animals in this huge tank I couldn’t explain just how big this tank was seeing it from the other side it didn’t seem that big than seeing it from the front point of view as you enter the aquarium. The lady giving us a tour said they had over 10,000.00 gallons of water both tanks combined wow that’s a whole lot of water huh??  As for how I felt sleeping on a hard floor with all these kids it was exciting and a little scary thinking their might be little critters around or the tanks braking and drowning in the aquarium not being able to get out sense we were locked in there for the knight!!! I have to say it turned out being a great experience. Seeing these sea otters playing in the morning the sun shinning in their tank was the most beautiful sight. Yes I was very very tiered but all worth it. I can go back and visit but it would not be the same as when I went with my daughter and got a V.I.P tour……

The borderland/fronteras are what I know. Their are many other border’s around the contry but we have to admit the most common one is the mexican border. I found a link on border’s you may read it see what you think…..

We all know money needs to come in to the house hold some how. It will all get better I hope in another week and you guys will read a better post about my day.

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE ENVIROMENT

I learned a whole lot by viewing the movie. It scared me knowing that one day we may be under water. “heck yeah it scared me” it and made me think about what’s really going on out there other than this war we are dealing with. I’ve learned to turn off the light after myself, recycle plastics, papers even walking to places that are not that far. We need to teach our learnings to our children if any of us have any they aswell need to know how inportant earth should be to us and what lives in it! Let me tell you about my little exprience I had. I went to Aquarium of the Pacific- with my daughter it was an awsome exprience learning about the marine life here in our own back yard. We got to exprience hands on with the animals. I was able to touch a sting ray it was slyme now that was cool. The school was privleged to spend the knight at the aquarium  it was tiering spleeping on a hard floor with over 100 ten year olds, belive me I felt it the next morining! I learned alot from this trip we need to help with the marine life the ocean is their home and we are distroying it. We can help it throughing trash were you are supposed to and volinteer in our county.

A Personal Persuasion

Persuasion I have a whole lot of personal persuasions starting with my brother, mother, sister in law, nieces, nethew and of course my children.  My brother is an amazing man who’s  shown me how not to give up and keep moving forward in all that life can through at you sometimes. The woman who gave life to this now woman writing how she persuaded me to never give up. Spiritually believing that the man up stairs is always watching over us weather we believe in him or not he’s there. My beautiful sister in law what can I say about her. She’s the sister I never had but most of all I know she’s there for me like I’m there for her pushing each other as sisters.  My kids are my strength they are what persuade me to get up every morning do my daily life things so we call them. They are the reason for me going to school. Me being an example to them as a mother, friend, student. employee. All these special people in my life are my everyday persuasions my family.
