I dont Know if I can do this but...

In the YouTube video Dying Boy's Last Wish, what matters is survival and love. A young boy was diagnosed with Leukemia and the doctor told him that he only had two weeks to live. Unlike most kids who would have wished to meet a famous person or go to some exotic island, Brenden wanted to feed the homeless. He said, “ I was driving home form one of my clinics, and I say a big group of homeless people and I wanted to help them”. He inspired the whole town, everyone was pitching in, and it spread more! People across the country were donating food and over the coarse of two weeks he raised tens of thousands of dollars. All this kid wanted for the last days of his like was to make other people happier. That touched my heart. This matters to the world because if we had more people who cared the world’s poverty and problems would disappear. It also reminded me about my fried Joe who created a program called Moji, which makes T-shirts, and 100% of the profits go to a foundation, which helps drill well all over the world in places where one in six people die from unclean water. Another foundation is Tom’s shoes. I you buy a pair of shoes form this company, they will donate a second pair to a child in a 3rd world country with no shoes. This matters to me because if I give a want a little less for Christmas this year and I give a little more, I can make so many more people happy this Christmas. I asked my parents for a pair of Tom’s shoes and a bought a Moji T-shirt, but I can still do more.

In Karl Fisch’s Learn Something. Pass It On, what matters to him is knowledge and communication to other people.

He read an article about during thanksgiving people share knowledge and facts with their families. People pass down stories, experiences and adventures with other, this matters to the world because, if everyone knows each other’s experience then problems will decrease. This matters to me because if I know other peoples stories then I will enhance my knowledge about the world.

In David Warlick’s Conferences and Krispy Kream what matters is enjoyment. David and is finally home for a week and it is very enjoyable. But soon he has to attend a number of conferences around the U.S. before he leaves he take his mother-in-law and her groom, Alvin to Krispy Kream. They watch the employee pick a dozen freshly made doughnuts into a box. And they enjoy they great tasty treats. This matters to the world because, we all need to sit back and relax once in a while. Everyone needs to sit down enjoy a doughnut and a coffee, and think of all the good things that life has to offer. Enjoy the good things that you have accomplished, forget the stresses of work, family, and money. This matters to me because whenever anything goes wrong I always forget the good and all I think about is the bad. I need to learn to love and remember the good things. What I think that David wants us to take out of this is to take pleasure in your achievements and you don’t have to stress over anything.

In David Warlick’s Suggest this One to your Students — Space Diving what matters to him is fun and amazement. In 2018 it will be possible for common people to skydive in space. They are researching the technology now and that is when they are expecting the completion. It would be amazing to be able to jump out of a spacecraft and just float down to earth. They are designing a suit that would slowly draw you back to earth and land you safely somewhere. This matters to the world because when we are able to fly from space safely home. Then I couldn’t imagine the possibilities, we would play sports, and take vacations in outer space. This matters to me because I know that I will for sure want to go skydiving in space. David says so much about the advancement of the human race; our generation will create great and amazing things that people twenty years ago couldn’t dream of creating.

In David Warlick’s Big Ideas — Bring Education Back into Focus what matters to him is educational reform. He supports the idea of learning with technology. There is a new system called the Big Ideas 4 Education in which is an idea of a whole different kind of education. There is only for easy steps to help reform the educational system in America. He showed his support by adding an html code at the bottom of the post; this is for other bloggers to post on their blog to show their support as well. David believes that when the educational system is changed students will learn better. This will matter to the world because when you learn more, schools produce smarter people, which intern make the smarter people think of smart ideas, and then eventually we will have a much more productive world. If I learn more I think that I can be a much bigger contribution to the world, than if I hadn’t learned as much. David proves a vital point when he shows his support for the Big Ideas 4 Education that defiantly needs to be proven.

In Will Richardson It’s the Parents’ Fault. Not., what matters is realization. In this entry Will is interviewing a principle of a school about his students MySpace pages. The principle thinks that it is the parent’s fault that the children don’t know how to use these sights properly. Will on the other hand thinks that it is the principles fault; he thinks that if they would teach the children at an early age why those things are wrong, then they will know in the future not to do it. I think that it matters to me because, I think my parents have taught me well enough to know what to do and what not to do with my page. But the world on the other hand, doesn’t quite grasp the concept of reality. In the real world, when you want to get hired, they owner will now look at your MySpace/Facebook page. If you have anything inappropriate or unnecessary on your page you will not be hire. As soon as the world realizes that they are being watch with everything they do, then they will stop doing the wrong thing. I don’t think that it is the parents or the principle fault. I think that the kids (the ones that are going to end up doing those bad things) are going to do whatever they want no matter what their respective elders tell them. I think that those kids have to learn from experience. Once they continuously are being rejected for jobs. They eventually will learn why and they will have no choice but to change.

In It’s a New Day by Will Richardson what matters is pride. The day that President Obama was elected, was a great day for America. Not only for the African-American population but for the entire country, David says “we elected a man, who, when and where I grew up, would not have been allowed to drink from the same water fountain as I”. That is a huge step for America, because when we have finally realized that there is no difference between races, religions, or looks. We listen to the person and hear what they have to say. No matter how different they are. It matters to me because I love change and I think that Obama is biringing great divercity to the country.David show how proud he is and that is how proud I am
