"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." ~Mahatma Gandhi 

What things ignite your desire to help make this world a better place? Really think about this. How can your life goals not only fulfill your own needs but contribute to the community. 

- Usually when I see those very depressing commercials on TV (such as the one with the Adoptable children or the Adoptable dogs) my mind starts to think of how I can make the world a better place. It would be hard for me to go through my life goals and help the community at the same time because my life goals don't really associate with the community. My life goals are to make A LOT of money. A LOT. The only way I would be able to help the community and make money at the same time is to open up something in my town that people can use.

Verizon Buys AOL for $4.4 Billion

With advertisers' dollars in mind, Verizon Communications plans to swallow up AOL and its digital content.

Verizon announced Tuesday that it has signed a deal to acquire AOL for $50 per share, for a total value of $4.4 billion. A powerhouse during the dot-com boom more than a decade ago, AOL has become something of an afterthought amid today's online trendsetters, but it does have a stable of Web publications and packs some video savvy as well.

The takeover reflects Verizon's growing video ambitions and its desire to marry that with its own mobile prowess.

Do Now: Invisible Cloak

In the morning when I woke up, I threw on the cloak to see if it actually worked. Which it did, I went into my mom's room, took her remote and started waving it in the air, and she thought there was a ghost in her room. If I didn't remove it in time she would have had a heart attack. My first thought was, i'm definitely taking this in Public.
When I was walking to school I saw from a far, a girls purse get taken away from her. The guy that took it was running my way. He was about 100 yards away. I had just enough time to put on the invisible cloak. Once I got done putting it on he was about 35 yards away from me. I sprinted forward trucked him! He got knocked out by my shoulder to the face. He literally didn't see me coming. I ran the purse to the lady,( it looked like a flying purse), gave it to her and ran off on my way to school.

                                 Study Hall

• I would like to add a Study Hall to our schools curriculum. 

• This class would meet 7th period. 

• The students will it in their seats and do any type of work that they can possibly do. They may quietly talk among each other.

• It will look like a big room full of students, maybe the auditorium. It would be a quiet class, unless the students rowdy. The only way to control the students is to discipline them with pending consequences. 

• The only way that the students would be able to demonstrate their learning is to look at their report cards before they had the class and after they had the class.
