Ignorance is Bliss

After becoming aware of a new problem troubling society, I think to myself and decide what the issue truly means to me and how it influences life in general. Since reading the story on slaughter houses, I have decided to refrain from eating burgers or meat products from fast food restaurants. Eating the products produced from these wrong doings only fuels the industry and potentially affects the health of the person eating it. After becoming informed of some topics a certain responsibility now lies in your hands. However, there are certain topics and issues that one person changing their life around will not make a difference. During my lifetime I will continually have to decide the significance of the situation to me and what would change if I decided to act upon it. Issues concerning global warming affect everyone and changes can only be made if large amounts of peope begin to change their lifestyles. Other people making you aware of issues is great and is the only way to begin changing the world.

A Girl's Story: Toni

As the curtains slowly parted, She gracefully emerged from the shadows. As her head veered, her extended, luminous, cinnamon locks swayed embracing her every move. The pureness of her intentions and her giving heart radiated through to the cheering audience. Her deep, twinkling, chestnut eyes scanned the crowd, as she began to cascade down the runway. Every man in the crowd openly displayed his overwhelming longing to call her his own. As she firmly grasped the microphone in her delicate, smooth hands and opened her luscious, red lips to speak, the crowd fell silent. All men, women, and children contained within the room were anxiously perched on the edge of their seat anticipating the words of remarkable intelligence about to be released from within her very mouth. Her voice was like that of angels singing gracefully from above. The excited crowd began chanting, "Toni! Toni!...". No one in the world could embrace a name bearing the meaning priceless better than this majestic being.
