As my English class is coming to an end,my blogging is only the beginning. I never realized how fun writing can be and also a great tool to help spread awareness. Throughout this semester I stressed the cause and effects of food deserts not only around the United States but also in local cities of my hometown California. It was an important topic to me because it hit very close to home. I have communicated with people that live off food stamps and have to resort to living in the streets in order to save money for food.
This blog post is going to continue to cover many social awareness topics because I want to inform everyone while I am being informed myself.I enjoy reading articles, and being able to discuss my opinion. I always have so many thoughts in my mind, and it feels good to let it all out on paper. I would love to receive requests of what social issues you would like me to discuss. I love blogging and hearing ideas from my fellow audience. It will make the experience even more exciting. For many years now I have managed to comment on minor issues through twitter but it never was the same as being able to blog about issues. You definitely have more than 140 characters when using blogger. Until the world becomes a better place my ideas and concerns will be valid and in use.
Not many people use social networks to the best advantage,well at least not a majority of the people.I see irrelevant issues always getting inside of the heads of folks, and being discussed as if it were a life and death situation. The life of a celebrity should not be in our interest unless they are giving money to those in need, and sharing their wealth with their community.
I would love to share a name , like Harris Rosen who has shared a lot of his wealth with his community in Orlando. Rosen has used the money he made from running top notch hotels to building Universities and providing anyone living in that community with free education. College is at a high expense and due to the cost, folks drop out. The opportunity that Rosen has made available to 90 percent African Americans and most living under poverty level is life saving. Donna Wilcox, an observer, states “when people have the resources to go and succeed, there’s a ripple effect” (2013).
I emphasize education very much and believe it is a positive alternative for many things. With education comes a fulfilled life , better jobs, and a growing economy. Many issues can be overthrown if education was a priority and an easy access for all citizens of the United States. Follow me in my future blogs as I raise awareness on many issues from food deserts to education.
