World We Dare Imagine Part 3

  World We Dare Imagine Part 3 What Do We Believe In? What is something that all of us take for granted? Some things that may come to mind are food, shelter, and clothes. Something that may not come to mind but is absolutely essential to us in our modern society is education. Education is what allows us as humans to thrive and prosper. It is much better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, as he will become self-sufficient. Knowledge of agriculture is ultimately what puts food on our plates every day. With that being said, we at Human Success Foundation believe that providing knowledge to those who do not have it is the best way to lift people out of poverty in a sustainable fashion. Schools Our organization plans to expand our existing schools into struggling communities located in poor countries in Africa. HSF has already built schools in Southeast Asia and Central America with much success. We have taught the locals about corporate social responsibility, entrepreneurs...

World We Dare Imagine Part 1

  World We Dare Imagine Part 1 To make the world a better place, the first thing that comes to mind is education. It would be a kind of long-term investment that doesn’t show immediate results or profit. I believe that you shouldn’t force people in third world countries to simply accept aid that you have to give. As shown in The Blue Sweater , when people receive money, they will simply spend it without regard to keeping it sustainable. A good solution would be to have people like the author of The Blue Sweater teach the locals of third world countries how to have a sustainable business model. From there, the locals will know the basics and would be able to expand and replicate that kind of sustainability and will end up using aid well. Another point is emphasizing the importance of environmental sustainability in all its forms. So as third world countries become industrialized eventually, they will choose to keep the environment in mind. I think this could be applied to first wor...

  Short Story Without Dialogue In a world ruled by Mua, the goddess of light, Lasel knew nothing about magic and trained hard every day to become a knight like his childhood friend Dause. Along with Grey, an apprentice priest, the three were inseparable childhood friends who grew up in an orphanage. One day, Dause was dispatched along with other knights to Felidora Forest in order to address the rumors that the Demon Army had returned once again. 100 years ago, King Lyle of Porvelia took up the Holy Sword sent by Mua to combat the demons and destroyed the Demon Lord. However, King Lyle and the Demon Lord both disappeared, leaving the Holy Sword as the only sign that the battle ever occurred. Lasel was worried for Dause and Grey did her best to comfort him. After a week, Lasel made up his mind and announced that he would go into Felidora Forest to help Dause. Grey insisted that she go with him, especially because she had protective light magic granted by Mua. Lasel really didn’t wan...

Book 2 Post 2

  Growing a Farmer by Kurt Timmermeister Kurt Timmermeister focuses his book on talking about how we should add a perspective on the food we eat: where our food comes from, what goes into producing it, and how it was traditionally prepared. I really liked how he divided his book up into chapters like bees, cows, butchering, etc. He talks about his experiences with each of those aspects of his farm life and uses vivid examples to describe all the events, both good and bad. I was very pleased that he took the time to reflect on everything he was doing, but always eagerly moving ahead to reach his goals. This made him much easier to connect to, even though his life is completely different from mine. He always has interesting insights and life lessons, even when talking about seemingly simple agriculture. I was amazed at how little he knew about farming and yet, he made everything happen. He identifies all his problems one at a time and works to solve them. A part I really liked was t...

Book 2 Post 1

  Growing a Farmer by Kurt Timmermeister Kurt Timmermeister starts off his book by talking about how we should add a perspective on the food we eat: where our food comes from, what goes into producing it, and how it was traditionally prepared. He also says that he would be thrilled if readers of his book quit their day jobs and moved out of the city and built small farms. This introduction made me particularly interested in reading more about how he would persuade readers into becoming farmers. Two of the main aspects of his personality I noticed immediately were his entrepreneurship and self-initiative. He opened his own restaurant at twenty-four years old. He then used his money to pursue his vision of the American dream: owning property. He bought a farm because of his visions of it becoming great in the future. It was initially extremely decrepit and rundown but he managed to make it work even without any support from his family. Timmermeister even ends up moving his restauran...

  Online Classes I was supposed to study abroad in Korea during the spring semester but the week before my flight, USC cancelled the program altogether because of coronavirus. As a result, I ended up having to take online summer classes in order to make sure I could still graduate on time. Instead of the 18 units I would have gotten from studying abroad, I was only able to get 12 units from the summer courses. This made it so I have to currently take 20 units in order to make up for those lost units and still be able to graduate on time. It’s a bit daunting to be taking so many units in a semester and I hope this semester won’t be too stressful. Since I had summer classes, I ended up getting used to online classes. Since there aren’t any in-person classes this semester and I don’t have to walk to them, it’s a lot more convenient to take classes. I don’t have to worry about getting up extremely early to get ready, nor do I have to worry about being late and missing the bus to school...
