My first week in mpx was really good. I like the way we learn without having to sit there and read a textbook all day. The Field-trip helped me get a better understanding of how we get our products to Hawaii. I told my parents everything I learned and they were very interested in what I had to say. They think mpx will really help me out this year and I think it will too. I hope by the end of this year I come out smarter and learn more about different things.When we were at matson i relzied how surprised i was to see the ships that bring are products. Also when we went to the E waste. I dont really know how they have such a set schedule for those ships where they come in days all the way from california. A question i still have is how do they get that much oil into the boat? I mean that boat needs thousands of gallons to be able to move so i am wondering how they then get that in the boat. At ewaste the tour we got was good, it was a plus being able to go in where the men work the crain to make the trash smaller and smaller. After we came is one for mpx and did an activty with all mpx students. I think it was so we all came aware of how good we have it and so bad so many people have it all around the world.Hearing the numbers was no surprise but thinking about them was different. The percent of the people who go to bed hungry was over 20%, i think that could be the easyiest problem for us to fix in the world. As long as other country has enough food to be affordable and safe we would never have that problem. Im really likeing the way that mpx is helping my writing. It feals good doing so many writing and project templates is a big help to me as a student. I hop that we get to do mpore feildtrips becuase that really helps you undrstand something way more than just going on goggle and looking at random facts. I hope that we will start doing these projects becuase i have so many ideas on what i want to write about. I want to do a project about lake erie becuase i go there every year and i want to do some things like why does the water get so dirty after rain? How do the waves start from no wind? How are fish living in the dirty shallow water?
I think susantibilty means that items stay right and stay fresh for along period of time. What is something sustainability? What things do we know will stay right or change to something wrong? I did alot of research at home, i looked at all the stuff in my house. I found that my family throws out alot of the food we buy through that know i know is actaully a big deal. I feal if us as mid pac made this more of an awareness that we could get parents and students to know the effects of food waste to midpac,the us, and other countries. Food is not just going to keep being made for the next 1,000 years we need to cut back on the amount we eat and the amount we waste. All the food waste articles were very intresting and ive already talked to my parents and asked them why do we throw out so much food? And they said well its up to you to stop that.
The Fieldtrip we took was very cool, I learned a lot of stuff that I would of never known without takeing mpx. Matson was a lot bigger of a corporation than I thought. If they shut down for more than a day it would affect some many people and places.When i got to matson off the bus i was really intrested in what i saw. I saw some ships that were takeing and receiving all the stuff we need. It was crazy seeing the boxes that you normally see on the back of trucks on a container ship.Than when we got to ewaste it was shocking seeing all the trash that a tiny island in the middle of the pacific ocean has. I mean we have alot of people on the isalnd but that just really got to me, i almost thought it was kind of funny. Now that i got to see all these things on the feildtrip i found myself touching items at home thinking where did this come from?
Sagan quote: 1."maybe when you grow up, you'll be the first one to find out" 2.This quote makes me think about in school Ive never liked learning stuff that I didn't want to hear about. And it just makes me want to try harder in my education.and try to make a name for myself in the world.Ive always kind of wanted a quote like this or even a better one that would want to make me put more time into my education and how much i tryed to get good grades. I feel like when im in class im always the one behind and i dont want that to keep happeing. Ive always just wanted a class where the teacher said you can write something completly on want you want to do. because i have so many topics that i want to find things out on. I take a trip to new york every year to lake erie and i really want to be able to do a project on something about the lake. maybe I will find out? 3.who is the person writing this?
I learned a lot yesterday, I never really thought about any of the stuff we covered yesterday. I told my parents, and they laughed saying now you know how spoiled you you are. They feel like everyone should have safe food and water.They thought it was good I was learning about that. This comes back to me about everyhting we are learining in mpx but i feal like we need to raise more awareness by sharing somehting like this to school. When i got called up in class to be representing one of the groups which i think was like 31 percnt of the world goes to bead hungry. And i just thought like how is something like this possible. We have so many resources in the united staes that we could even give to other countries. That was a heavy fact to think about. I like how we alll did that is a group. It was good to see who are fellow mpx students are for the remainder of the school year.
If you water grass three times a week they say that should keep your grass healthy and green.I also looked up how many times you should cut grass and the us times said a good 1 to 2 times a week is good. That's what the mod pacific ground crew does. This is very useful information becuase my grass at home is dry. And now knowing this i know that i should water the grass at a stable amount of times a week to keep it green and heahly. I think its cool that i got to take a picture of the mid pacfic grass during class than be able to reflect on how that helps us with are project!
