- inconvinient truth reaction -

The documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, by Al Gore is an eye opener and also a wake up call for me. I have heard about global warming before, probably back in grade school but I knew a little about it or I only knew the meaning of the term global warming. The documentary gave me a deeper understanding of what global warming really is and what will be the consequences if we do not do something about it. The way the documentary is presented is very effective. Al Gore defined and described global warming in a way a non-science-loving-environmentalist-geek would understand. Most likely, that would be the reason why it won so many awards.
The documentary showed the basic process of global warming which is the greenhouse gases are trapping the sun’s heat in the earth’s atmosphere which makes the earth warm. The greenhouse gases are caused by producing too much CO2. When Al Gore compared the old and new photos of the same place, the difference was very obvious.

Self -evaluation
Review the results of your personal health assessment and write your realizations and plans about your health in your journal.
*i know that I am a healthy person, my parents took good care of me since i was a child. and as I grow old I don't have any vices like drinking and smoking, because I know that it will not help me but instead make my life miserable. I see to it that I have enough sleep and rest which is very important! I know that I should maintain my healthy body at my young age so that I would not experience signs of aging as I grow older.. i will continue my healthy habits like eating on time, having enough sleep and I will try to have an exercise at least three times a day..

"The most challenging thing I have ever accomplished"

Entering my college life is one of the most challenging thing that I think I have already accomplished. During the first day of classes, I was afraid that people aound me would not like me. I'm afraid that that I cannot gain friends like during my high school days.
Well, i think I've already overcome those fears. I realize that I can gain as many friends as I can considering that I am in a bigger campus gight now. I knew that I can do a lot of things which I haven't done before. I gain a lot of self-confidence but not over because I knew that I cannot gain something I want without self-confidence.
I considered this as my accomplishment because this is something that I worked har for. This is something that I can treasure for the rest of my life, something that I can be proud of, and something that I can share to anyone..
