Journal 16



Find a job that you love doing and you will never have to work a day in your life.




Usually, before going to a university, most of the students decide what kind of major he will major in and it is related to his job. When students think about their jobs, they might consider two things. A job which can make big money or a job which he really like to do. It will be perfect to find a job to catch two things but there will be situation which he should choose.

In reading this quote, my feeling was that it is perfect quote to people who are in this situation. If you choose a job which can earn make big money but you don't like, you will be the person like in the picture. You will get much stress every day and that will be a terrible life. However, if you choose a job you like, you will enjoy your life. You can get two birds with one stone!!
I believe this quote will help who are under stress in their jobs. They will find that they need to change something in their career and I hope they will enjoy their life with their joyful job.

How to green your parent

Allison Afieff.(2010) How to Green Your Parents. New York Times, Retrieved April 21,2010, from http://www.dailytitan.com/2010/04/14/letter-to-the-editor-daily-titan-asi-election-coverage/

In this article, Alisson want people to join 'Green My Parents'.She argues that parents should join GMP's program with their children and make some action for our earth. This is a claim of value which appeal to emotion like worry, heart, dream. She suggested an evidence that the average family can save over $1000 each year by joining GMP's program and doing some actions for earth. In my opinion, it is very good idea to make a action not for just one day,Earth day, but for whole year. If I can save money doing walking to school and kicking the bottled-water habit, I think it is a pretty good idea. Because she used words which can move peoples mind and suggested appropriate evidence, I think there will be many people who agree with her opinion.

Dear. Mom and Dad

My dear parents mom and dad these days, I miss you a lot. I think this is my first letter to you two after I came here and I am very sorry about that.
The reason why I write this letter is, I'm planning to go to Africa to volunteer. When I was young , I once tell you that I want to go to Africa and I'm planning to do it in the near future.
I know you won't like it. It is true that going to Africa is dangerous. However, there is a possible solution. I can be safe because the volunteers will move together. If we move together, the danger facts will be decreased. I promise that I will not move alone. This will make me more safe.

You might heard that I can get diseases at there, but I can prevent the diseases. Before people go to the countries in which we can diseases, they can go to doctors and ask consult. Then, doctors predict the possible diseases and they will prescribe a preventive injection or medicine. Of course, I'll follow this procedure and this means that you don't have to worry about this!

Also, you might think that it can be wasting time for my study, but I think it can be worthy time. As you know, my major is education. The common thing between education and volunteering is giving. Even though teachers get wages, I think it is very important for teachers to give their knowledge not wanting compensation. I don't want to be a teacher who consider his/her students as people for his/her money. So, through this chance I want to cultivate teacher's attainment.

I hope you will agree with me. I'll wait your "positive" answer.

I love you!!!

Summarize/

Thomas H. Maugh II(2010,April 14), Deaths during childbirth may have dropped sharply worldwide-or maybe not. Los Angeles Times, retrieved April 14, 2010, from http://www.latimes.com

It seems that death during childbirth is decreasing, but it depends on who you are listeing to. According to researchers from the University of Washington and the University of Queensland in Australia, they say the death rate is remained steady. However, According to Dr. Christopher Murray of Washington and his colleagues , they argue that it is decreasing year by year. They surveyed the death rate duing childbirth all over the world, and they found the rate is decresing. However, in U.S. the birth rate is increased between 1990 to 17 in 2008. It is because of HIV.
Care like through antibiotics are one of the solutions.
