I LOVED my first day of internship!!!!!!
On my first day of internship we were driven by Arianah's dad he droped us off and we were greeted by our mentor. What we did first was si and talk about ourselves, our lies, dislikes what we wanted to be and just a little more things about ourselves. Then after that we walked around and took a tour of the place she explianed what we would be doing ,showed us a video that we would be showing us a video that would be watching with the kids. Then when we were done we set up our logins that would tell us our schedule. Aftherwards me, AJ and Arianah just messed around on these big electric scooters. At first i was scared but once I got a hang to it, IT WAS REALLY FUN! She let us prcatice riding them because she said we could use it sometimes if wanted so over all it was a good day. When our day was over me and AJ departed from Arianah and took the bus and trolley and from there I went to a near by Recenter. I really like my internship and I am excited of whats going to come next.

celebrating the past and future
John F. Kennedy our 35th president is well remembered by his famous quote during his inaugural speech " And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." This quote has a great importance of everyday life especially now since we have some "change" in the white house, what this specific part of his speech means to me is that we should not wait for change we should make the change ourselves.
I think JFK's inaugural speech has a lot to do with what our new president Barack Obama, throughout his fight into the white house you heard him say the word change and that s what JFK wanted to do when he was in office in the beginning he said We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom -- symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning -- signifying renewal, as well as change. He wanted to change how the world thought of each other he wanted to abolish segregation because he saw that it was time for a change.
I think Obama is a good speech writer and according to this article "Watching the inauguration with a view to the past" he is compared to a few of some of the most memorable speech writers including JFK. People commented on his speaking ability, one said that it reminded her of the
Martin L. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. Another women, Susanne Byrnes a filmmaker of Huntington, said she "also thought of the Kennedy years and the challenges another young president now faces". "Kennedy was also breaking boundaries with the civil-rights movement and human rights," she said. So as you can see when Kennedy was in office he influenced a lot of people.

So as you can see when Kennedy was in office he influenced a lot of people.As we are transitioning to the change era something else that needs to change "Environmental Issues Slide in Poll of Public’s Concerns". Now that Obama is in office he has a lot to change, we came a far away from segregation so even though JFK was not in office when this happened he still had an big impact of where Obama is now. One issue that Obama is concerned about is global warming even though according to the polls, "released Thursday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center, global warming came in last among 20 voter concerns", and “Protecting the environment, which had surged in the rankings from 2006 to 2008, dropped even more precipitously in the poll: only 41 percent of voters called it a top priority, compared with 56 percent last year."
If we don't start making a change on how we think, I think our living space is only going to get worse. Hopefully Barack Obama can live up to his expectations cause their are a lot of people counting on him to the situations we are in now.
Even though I wasn't around when JFK was in office I think he would have been a great president if he had been given a chance to prove it. His mind and heart was in the place and I think that was what previous presidents after him lacked, and I think if we just give Obama a chance to prove himself he to will be a great president.

dreams come true
Dreams Really do Come true

"Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true" - written by E.Y. Harburg preformed by Dorothy wizard of oz
The song somewhere over the rainbow, has a deep and strong connection to Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a dream" speech, he talked about a better future where all is created equal and where dreams came true.In the song "somewhere over the rainbow" I chose "...and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true", this part of the song has a connection with the word "dream".
In Martin Luther King Jr's famous I have a dream speech he was basically saying in the future things will change blacks and whites will be able to eat in the same restaurant we will no longer be integrated but we will all be looked at as equals. Even though it took years after the speech before things started to change his dream still came true.
When Martin Luther King gave his I have a dream speech in August 1963 it was a time when people of all races were separated and put in two categories you were either colored or not. So for him to speak of a better place where we were no longer separated was very surprising to hear and probably unbelievable at that time.
When Dorothy sang this song back in 1939 she was talking about herself being in a better place where dreams come true and that if you have a dream you should go out and get it. I think somewhere over the rainbow can mean whatever you want it to mean, whatever you think is a better place where you are free, no worries everything is perfect, that is your rainbow. I personally think my rainbow is heaven there are no worries there everything is perfect everyone is happy and it’s just a good place to be, and thats what I want interpreted in my art piece.
In my art piece I want people to think about what there “rainbow” is because it’s more than just lyrics to a song it really means something. I drew a picture of Martin Luther King in heaven as an angel he is looking down on earth seeing his dream coming true. There is a city where people of all races are getting along and are no longer separated which is exactly what he wanted it to be.
This whole project really taught me to really think about lyrics to a song, some songs have strong meanings that could help you in everyday life. You would never have thought of to look at Martin Luther King and a song from Wizard of Oz to have a connection in some kind of way until you actually look at the two together.

Obama's inauguration
I personally like this quote from his inaugural "In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned."
This is a very admirable quote it stood out to me. I think what Obama was trying to say was he knows he has big shoes to fill and he knows that its not going to be given to him, that he has to prove himself to be great. How this relates to everyday life is that we can't always expect things to be given to us we have to earn it, just like Obama has to earn respect because not everyone is rooting for him succeed, so he really has to prove himself.

Even scarecrows have a brains
President Bush is known for a lot of things, we blame him for so much and now the time has finally come to give him the boot and say sayonara buddy, hasta la vista baby, don't come back now ya hear, but it seems now he feels the need to preform a good deed before he leaves, WHY?
Why did he wait so long to do a good deed, when he should have did that along time ago? So what good did he decide to do, well according to Washington Post bush has opened up three new marine national monuments in the Pacific Ocean which is up to 195,280 square miles. President Bush matched the records of some of the most open-minded presidents which is really good especially for him. He even protected more ocean than any president in history.
Well even though he decided to do something about the environment now, he still has some sins he has to pay for, salon.com has narrowed it down to bush's seven deadliest environmental sins . To save time I am going to name a few that caught my attention.
Deadly sin number four: Abandoned endangered species
The specie that has been affected by this in a bad way is the polar bear it is sad that global warming is taking an huge affect on them and nothing is being done to help them.
"All the high-profile listings, such as polar bears, have come about after the government has been sued or petitioned by environmental groups and citizens."
I am glad that Bush decided to do something about the environment before he left and I guess its never to late to try and help even though he should done something along time ago, at least its a start.
Deadly sin number six: Not seeing the forest or the trees
"The Bush administration never met a tree that wouldn't look better as a 2x4 in Home Depot, or a wilderness area that wouldn't look better with a road running through it."
I think that saving trees is important in some ways, animals need a home just as much as we do, and if we cut down trees to make roads through forests your cutting down some one's home. At the same time we also need trees to build houses for ourselves and since houses or on foreclosure and people or losing their homes we definitely need them too. That does not mean we should go over board on it and just start cutting down forests and trees not thinking about the wildlife who needs it also.
So back to the initial question why such a change of heart? Well knowing bush he probably didn't want to leave the office with a bad impression, he probably wanted to make sure that when he left, he left the office with something good on his part. I wouldn't blame him either if I was in his situation I would try to do numerous things before I leave, but whatever the reason maybe at least we know Scarecrows really do have a brain.
