Orphanage Visit

  Last week, I did not go with my class to visit orphanage and so I cannot able to help these kid. First of all I have to apologize, because I cannot go. On that day I have some family problem and my mom did not allow me to go. But I do ask my friend to share with me what they did, what do they experiences and how they help these people. I heard that they have visited 2 orphanages and 3 old people's home.
  I did not go, so that is big disadvantage for me and I have some regret about it. I do know that this is important thing our class, go outside to do charity work that is great thing that I would do. Nothing can be without prepare, getting donation is first step when do charity. Process started at the beginning of term 2, which was in November. I did call for help in donation, try to organize the competition between the house, so that would give more money in my charity donation. The rule is easy donate money for the losing house, so agressive person will spend all their money in the house that they hate, it like competitive in nature, and I think that was fun competition. It is little bit tricky plan which go against rule that people usually know, but that is for greater purpose.
  After getting donation, the next thing my class do is contact to the local organziation. And I heard that we end up with list of 5 place. We contacted these place and ask to give some help and they agree for us to visit.
  I knew that we did great thing, to me charity mean a lot. Like when you did good thing, you will get good feeling and people will look at you in different ways, especially in good way. Charity to me is the best thing that can do to help people, without it I cannot figure out how to help them. When you did good thing to people and of course people will help back to you. A few year ago, I remember that I have did donation to orphanage, and I havem met with people live their and that said kid here are special, they have sad background stories and they are disable. I have donate food, clothes and book to them, more important that I have came here to play and sing with them. You know how I felt, I felt a lot better in life and when I look back to them, I felt that my life still have a lot lucky than any other people out there.
  When I think about these kid, I felt  alot better in life, my life still beautiful and I love my life. These kid help me change my mind, I got motivation to step in life instead of complaining about it.

Energy and the Environment

Energy and the Environment


  What is energy? Energy is the abilities to do work. Human need energy to do everything such as walk, talk, think, play,... human eat food and from that we can absorb energy. Energy is important to human life, without it we cannot do work just like your phone run out of batteries. There are many different kind of energy such as kinetic energy, potential, chemical, thermal energy, they have different kind of function and occur in different way among us. Also we have different use of energy like renewable and nonrenewable.
  Twenty-first century is the age of energy wars. People are fighting for energy supplies. Oil and natural gas are top most concern, where all the conflict of human come from. However, Energy not only cause conflict, but also the environmental issues. Human are fighting for their gold but also it can also cause their death.

  Oil and natural gas are nonrenewable resources. These are widely exploited and used because they are cheap and easy to find. Look at the name and energy itself we can see that nonrenewable resources are not able to be replace, because it have limit amounts. According to statistics, the remaining oil can be used in 50 years and natural gas can last for the next 75 years. Maybe one day in future when we run out of natural resources, we will live in darkness and there will be chaos. Moreover, the use of renewable energy release can be harmful to the atmosphere, such as green house gas and other dangerous chemicals was release into the air. Nonrenewable energy is both good and bad.

  And the question is asking is that is there a better alternative?
  Renewable energy resources are replenish quickly and can be use again. common renewable energy resources are sunlight, wind, hydroelectric power. Sun give give us a lot of light energy, but it will burn out in the next 6 billion years and it a very long time that we not really care about. Wind is kinetic energy help to turn the turbine and produce electricity. Hydroelectric power dam uses the same principle. These are friendly resources seem to be common but it is usually thing to start both energy war and environment problems. However, these resources have a weak point, we all know that they are free but to build a machines that can use them can be cost a lot. For example, to buy a solar panel system is quite expensive and also fee to set up is high. But once you buy it, you will never care about lack of energy because light energy is plenty and you will get it every morning. Building wind turbine and hydroelectric dam is expensive. Therefore, very few people think to about build these infrastructure.

  How to save energy? This is big question, and I can help you out with that without build expensive infrastructure.
- Unplug seldom-used appliances.
- Turn off computer instead switch to sleep mode.
- Turn off light when going out.
- Turn off A.C when you go out your room.
