About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I have huge humanitarian goals. I am writing essay after essay on how to save this world.

ABOUT ME

I have been learning since the day I was born. I was always good at math and science and it evolved into writing. My breakthrough happened when I studied psychology during my senior year of high school. I love knowledge. I have a constant thirst for it. I love to talk. I love to listen. I love new people, learning the dynamic of a new personality. I have ideas, goals. Yes, I am a model. Please do not write me off. My mission for the next year or so is to play the role of Robin Hood. I have given away 90% of my posessions to homeless people across the county of Los Angeles. I own 1 back pack filled with my nicest clothes, 1 laptop, and 1 sleeping bag. I donate every day in one way or another. If you really want to get to know me you can find me on facebook and read the essays I have been writing. Cheers. I love you. You are my family.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for you and your brothers and your sisters.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

You would have to ask me in person. I have stories. I have some stories that don't even make sense but they are all real. I believe in honesty.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe in the possibility of a utopia. I believe this earth is still salvageable. I know how to save the world and I will do it. I need all the support I can get.

The economy is in this horrible position because all of the money is in all of the wrong hands. What is the most important job bar-none? Arguably teaching. The educators are in charge of our future, of the next generation. After ten years working in a suburban community, an educator is happy to make $60,000 per year whereas a CEO of an oil company is making billions of dollars while destroying our environment in his efforts to rip off the American public.

Let’s take a look at this aspect from a more micro perspective. There are shopping malls within, chances are, 50 miles from where you are while you read this. Within these are the same franchises besides a handful of Mom & Pop shops which I support. So these franchises set out to make money, but in order for that to happen they must take money. The money they take is from the working man who has a handful of kids and probably should not be eating out anyway for economic reasons. Now, please get me straight here. It is by no means the fault of the businessman that the American public buys his product. This country was built off of that. The fault is on all of us.

Every dollar that you spend makes a statement. If you spend a dollar on a hamburger that is 400 calories, 180 of which come from fat (not to mention the 2 grams of trans fat), you are stating that you support a company that neglects the health and safety of its patrons. I know, this is America. You can spend your money however you want and God bless you for that but we all need to take accountability for the actions we take. Spending that dollar on a fatty non-nutritious burger has become so commonplace that not many people spare the time to think where their money is actually going, what it is supporting, who it is supporting.

It is time to stop giving our money away to the most convenient proprietor. It is time to stop going to the franchise grocer in town because it is the cheapest. Our country was built from the ground up on Mom & Pop shops. Then one day, a man decided to cut his beef with corn products, thus increasing sales, eventually resulting in mass production. In the meanwhile, Americans got fatter and poorer as the Mom & Pop shops were forced into closing.

This is applicable to any industry out there. Someone figured out that it is cheaper to buy their materials from a poor country, that it is cheaper to pay wages for production in a poor country than it is to support Americans. We now have recycled materials available for all businesses, but how many take advantage of that? It is cheaper to destroy a forest and produce fresh paper than it is to process the old and reuse it. We must not accept this and move on. We must boycott businesses that do not look out for our environment, our community, and our best interest as a society all around.

Please note that I, by no means, claim originality for this paper. These ideas have been collected from philosophers, psychologists, educators, friends, and family. Despite the tone of this paper, this is only my opinion, as I am human and cannot state facts with certainty.

I hope you read on.
