Compassionate Science

I believe that everyone has the potential to make the world a better place. A person should be able to feel compassion in order to help others. I wish to make the world better by helping those who have less than I do. I think it's very heartwarming how people who have sufficient amount of knowledge and technology can help those who have bigger problems than they do. I believe that when you help others, you are also helping yourself. Helping others makes you a better person because that action derives from within you and what you feel is the right thing to do. I know that I have the opportunity to create a better surrounding for myself and I will do everything I can to make the world a better place.

The Future

When I think about the future, I see escalators replacing all stairs and robots in every household doing our chores. One thousand years from now, I imagine a world with much more pollution and I see it becoming a wasteland. I see a future where scientists discover life in other planets and are actually able to set foot on them. In the future, I picture a world where we become friends with creatures from other planets. I imagine much more fast food restaurants and floating chairs and tables around us. I see a future where man is not needed as much because robots will complete the tasks they do.

One Time I Laughed So Hard...

Today during passing period to 4th, I laughed really hard because my friend tripped on a rock and almost fell. We were just chatting and I decided to turn another direction for a quick second and when I turned back, I see him almost falling. I laughed really hard that I was almost crying because when I turned back to look at him, I didn't expect to see him like that. The rock was not small, but not huge either and I thought it was hilarious because someone passing by would totally see that rock and not step on it. My friend's reaction was funny because he was shocked that a rock like that would make him trip. To me, this was funny because it was something random and the reaction my friend had was hilarious.

My Review On Modern Times

Modern Times was a very entertaining film to watch because Charlie Chaplin portrayed a very funny and optimistic man. I liked how the little tramp always got into trouble and how very often people were mad at him. I feel like this movie has no wrong or bad turns because the main character is always looking forward and never lets anything bring down his mood. Despite the little tramp being fired and sent to jail a lot, his character never brings down the mood of an audience. I liked how Chaplin displayed workers as sheep who frequently did the same thing; it gave the audience a realistic comparison to how life in their job was. My favorite part of this movie is the ending when Chaplin's message was to "smile" even though times were hard.
