Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

John Tapene explains that kids can't wait around for things to happen to them; instead, they should be out mowing lawns, helping people, and getting a job.  He makes a good point when he says: go make something of your self, but the bottom line is that we're still teenagers.  Teenagers now a days have stress from school, sports, and homework.  So yes, once and a while it would be now to have somewhere to relax instead always doing something for their community.  If the community could do something for us, that would be nice too.

What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?

A Public Service Announcement, better known as a PSA, are used to get a message out or raise awareness to a specific cause. A PSA is shared through all types of media resources: commercials, newspapers, and photos.  It seems as if the people who create the PSA don't care how groomsmen it is as long as they get the message across.  There is a PSA that shows a teenager peeling off her skin to show the effects of smoking cigarettes.

After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."

After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech I have realized that I could make a difference in the world.  Maybe its the person sitting next to me right now, or a friend, or even someone I done even know that could make such a big difference in the world.  Ashton Kutcher made a point that every one has the same abilities; that everyone is equal.  Whether it be, the community or even just one single person they help, its still a difference.  I think knowing that you change someones life, even in the smallest way, is one of the most important things out there.  People should strive to make an impact on someone or something every day.
