PLN 6

I did my PLN 6 on a personal problem that has to do with me. After reading Laura Main’s article, Youth soccer coach arrested, accused of sex assault. Had to do with my friend I would not like to speak her name and that coach, Stephen Meyer, was my goalie coach and I was so saddened to see my coach get arrested. What matters in this article is friends and family. I could not sleep for a while because I knew my friend was hurting for this man’s actions. Safety is a huge issue that mattered in this matter and maybe now my soccer team and even all the boys soccer team will be safe and feel comfortable with the rest of the club. The only thing is Stephen Meyer had a stellar background no criminal charges at all but great people make stupid decisions sometimes. This is what matters in this article and we they matter. http://www.kwgn.com/pages/yourturn_landing/?Youth-soccer-coach-arrested-accused-of-s=1&blockID=119384&feedID=202

In the book All Quiet On The Western Front by Eric Maria Remarque, in chapters 1-2, there is a lot of things that matter. The war that’s going on, World War 1, matters to the germans and everyone involved. This war shaped our country very much so that there was much consequences. In this book there is a young boy who goes through war training and is now in the war at just 20 years of age. What matters to this boy is his colliges or friends as you could call them. One of his best friends dies do to dieses of his amputated leg. This war matters to everyone even to thise who didn’t lose any in the war, but that is kind of hard for this war. These are examples of what matters in the book All Quiet On The Western Front.

After reading Kirk Mitchell's article of Aurora woman who starved dogs to serve jail time I was disgusted. In this article the women’s dogs were starved to death, Neeko a Belgium German Shepard ate the carcus of the other dog to stay alive. What matters in this article is survival and caring for all those animals out there in the world. This effects me by wondering what all the other dogs are going through that we don’t know about. How my dogs could of been in that situation if I didn’t help them out. This also effects the world by knowing that 6 or 7 dogs die a day because of cruelty of humans. All in all this article shows me that anything can happen and could be dire consequences. http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_10775380?source=rss

In the article “Poll: Obama's Colorado lead grows” by Anne C. Mulkern is about Obama’s nine point lead over McCain. What matters in this article is how Obama might win our presidential election, because every point counts. This affects me because although I am not old enough to vote but it affects me by saying who controls the little things in life for me and my family, like taxes and on foreign policy. This also affects the world around me because the world will need a new president and we all want to have the right one. All in all this nine point lead might decide the presidency, you never know! http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_10716910?source=rss

Did You Know?

In the video “Did You Know?” by Karl Fisch is about all of us because it’s how internet connects all of us. In this video all of us matter and our kids, and our kids, kids matter. What will the world be like for them? The world is growing. This video connects to me because it has to do with my life and every move I am making. Also this video connects to the world around us because it has to do with all the countries in the world and every thing someone does in the world.
