To me this statement means that if people want to change the world, they will have to be the change they are looking for. It means that to change the world, one can't just sit back and watch, hoping for something to happen, but to rise above the rest, and change it themselves. I agree with this statement though, because I was raised to think that if somethings gotta change or get done, then you would have to do it yourself. This statement is not only true, but also slightly touching. Due to the fact that I recently found that I can't depend on many of my so called "friends", I found that if I were to change something, depending on someone (in my case anyway) is something that is not a choice, in any way.

Bullying Interview
This video slightly angered me. How could a person be so heartless as to ignore the fact that they are driving a person to suicide because of their bullying. But, what I still don't fully understand is why anyone would look by the fact that you are driving a person insane. I have always thought that bullying was just wrong, but this only strengthens my outlook.

My Successes And Difficulties of The First Semester
Throughout the second semester, I met a lot of problems. But on took over most of my time and effort. Computer access. Throughout the first semester computer access was a complete challenge for me. I had almost none at all. Another difficulty I faced was time management. It was hard to manage my homework and projects on the computer. I had a lot of reports and projects to do through computer. Now, every time I did have computer access, I found it hard to manage what I did on it and when, also for how long.
This semester I plan to allow myself more time management, as well as allowing myself to be more organized of what i do on the computer and when.
There are very few things I like about technology. I don't like how it always stalls, and how it can shut down and loose all of your work. But I do enjoy being able to put my feelings on the internet, allowing them to be seen wold wide, thus making my opinion seen by the world.

Ms .Golds Report
Lucretia Mott was a reformer who faught for women and african americans
rigths.She was also one of the first feminists. I think that she had a big impact on
modern day and her own time as well.
One important example of how she effected her own time would be her fight
fight for womens rights. This would be a good example because there were not alot
of peoplefighting for womens rights during her time. Nor were there people fighting
for african americans rights so of course she made a huge impact by trying to draw
the women and african americans to the idea of them having freedom.
Another good example would be that she was one of the first feminists and
bought the idea of feminism to the us. This would be because Lucretia Mott was the
first feminist of the U.S.A (who knew she was) she technically bought the idea to
the citzens of the U.S. If it weren't for her there probbably wouldn't be feminists
today.
One final example and probably the most major would be that she waone of the
founders of the Senessa Falls Women's rights convention. This is a crutial part of
abolitionist history because the Senecca Falls Women's rights convention was one of
the first major conventions that Lucretia Mott took part in.
These are three good examples of how Lucretia Mott-one of the first
feminist/abolitionists effected her time as well as modern day. Thank you for taking
some of your time to read this essay.
