In the Nata Village Blog “Nata River Flows” what matters the most is that water has finally begun to fill that Nata River because it is providing water to a community and nourishing plants and trees along the river. In this blog, it explains that daily rainstorms are finally refilling the Nata River, which runs through the Nata Village in Africa. This matters to me because I think it is important that a village has a water source, and it is extra special that it is natural source. This blog matters to the community because it’s promoting how important water is. If the people in the Nata village are barley getting by with very little water, then our community should be more aware of saving our water and appreciating it more. This blog matters to the world because it is telling about the climate issues around the globe. The Nata village is suffering from an intense drought, along with many other areas. This should concern the world and encourage them to start saving the environment. If everybody cared about there little river as much as the Nata village does, then the world would be a better place and appreciate more natural things instead of wasting them. All in all what matters the most in the blog “Nata River Flows” is that the water has finally begun to fill the Nata River because it is providing water to the community and nourishing the varies plants surrounding the river.

In the YouTube video, what matters the most is reversing the predicted statistics for our future because our generation is headed down the wrong path. In the video it explains how negative our predicted future is. It was saying that our family would be a second priority and money would be a first. But the message of the video was that if you reverse the statistics, it would change to our life goal. Money would be a second priority and family would be our first. This matters to me because its motivating me to change my ways so that in my future I’m not only focused on materialistic items. When I'm older, I don’t want to always be at work and missing my children’s soccer games and school plays. I want to be there for my family. I don’t want to always be things. I want all my pride and joy to be dedicated to my family. This article matters to the community because its also encouraging others to stop focusing on materialistic items and their jobs and focus on their families because that’s what really matters in life. If the community changed this s it would spread the word and encourage others. This video matters to the world because it’s letting our generation know what people expect our reputation will be like in the future. It’s a warning video saying that there is a solution to stop the way we might become. Our world needs to apply this message so that we are not destroying our love for one another and replacing it with the love for money and materials. Overall what matters the most in this video is reversing the predicted statistics of what our reputation will be like in the future.

3 Items

My first item is my laptop. It is a white apple Mac book that has an extra hard drive for all of my photos, home videos, and music. EVERYTHING is on my laptop. I make music videos with my friends on it, listen to amazing songs, You Tube various styles of dance, and do all of my homework on it. My laptop is me in technology form. If anyone dissected everything on my Mac book, they would just see more of me.
My second item is my tennis shoe collection. I have over 30 pairs of sneakers! I have a passion for collecting sneakers. Majority of the shoes in my collection are converse. I like to think of them as mood shoes. I like to portray my emotions by what I am wearing on my feet. If I’m in a wacky, fun, and energetic mood then I will whip out my lime green neon converse. If I’m feeling more mellow and calm ill wear my faded black low tops. The great thing about this collection is it deals with two of my hobbies, fashion and dance. Every outfit I wear is based around the shoes. I love to mix and match my clothes so that my shoes really stand out. Another reason why my shoes are important is because I always wear cool street shoes for dance. Everyone at the studio has the same passion for shoes as I do. It’s so fun to see what everyone’s wearing on their feet. Overall my shoes just describe my hobbies and me.
My third item is my bible. My bible is hot pink and very very thick. It is full of highlighted verses and bent pages. My bible has a musty smell and a comforting feel. Everything that I need to no is written down in that very book. The verses and facts are the only things I need to no. I believe that my god put those words down through someone else to save me and everyone else. That is why it is so important to me. It is my basic guide oh how to feel, learn, believe, share, and most importantly love. I try to read my bible every night, but unfortunately I don’t. I should, but I don’t. Whenever I have a bad day or I’m frightened, sad, angry, happy, any emotion at all, I recite a verse in my head that I read from my bible. Overall it is so important to me.

In this video many different children appear saying an "I remember" quote. The quotes explain what these children remember about there childhood years with technology. The overall message of this video was to say that the future to many adults is the past for many children. This matters because it is promoting our achievement with becoming more and more advanced with technology by the second. This matters to me because it’s reminding me how much things have changed. I remember when I listened to CD's, but when my parents were kids CDs was the future. But now in 2009 children will say I remember when I listened to Ipods. What will the next generation say? What will be the new music device? This also matters to me because it made me realize the change. I was so used to the technology, I didn’t even realize the transitions of the new and better technology. This matters to the world because it just shows how much our world is progressing. Overall what matters the most in the Youtube video "I remember" is the things of today are becoming the past because it is saying we are always progressing.
