What matters to Tait

Everything that matters to me is in the picture above, friends, sports, singing, family and my dog. These things are all important to me for different reasons. Family is important to me because they will always be there for me. My mom and dad will do just about anything I ask of them, and my grandparents are just happy to be around me. My cousins are some of my closest friends. All of these people love me and I love them because they are family, and that’s what families do, they love each other. Another part of my life represented in the picture above is sports, of witch I play two, wrestling and baseball. Over the last year I have reached the panicle of my pre high school sports carrier. I was captain of the Powell wrestling team last year and placed 2nd in districts. Over the summer I played on two baseball teams, my Cherry Creek AYL team, who I have played with for seven years finally won the Little League World Series. Then I also played on the freshman summer team Arapahoe. Our record wasn’t very good but we had a lot of fun, and it exposed me to the high school competition level. The other thing that matters to me and is school related is singing. In the collage above is a picture from the Powell Pops concert last year. I was in choir all three years at Powell under the direction of Ms. Kathy Summers and ending my carrier there in the Jazz Choir. I’m also in concert choir this year and so far its turning out well. The next thing that matters to me is my friends; my friends will always be there for me no matter what. They are always fun to hang out with and a good source for a laugh. The final thing represented in the collage is my dog. He should probably be considered part of the family but he is just a little to cool. His name is soda and he is all of 15 pounds not including the fluff. He is my bud who I play with when I’m bored and he doesn’t care who I am or what I do, as long as he gets fed. That basically sums up what matters to me, and I say just basically because a picture is worth a thousand words, and I don’t even have all my pictures up there.

What matters to me for the future, education, and the world in the genre of gender differences is the fact the girls are getting more opportunities than boys. According to the articles we read on Friday, “Quite Gender Gap Hits Collegiate Balance” by The Post Editorial, about how the populations at colleges and the high paying desirable jobs are being taken over by women. That worries me for my future, because I want to get into college and get a good job. Now don’t get me wrong I’m all for women’s rights but it really worries me because I might not get the job I want when I’m older. Like being the CEO of a company or being part of a big law firm. I have decided that my personal goal, for when I am older, is to graduate at the top of my class and prove that not only girls can be success full these days.

PLN1: Did You Know

What mattered to me, in Karl Fitch's video "Did You Know", was the future. Something that worried me was the fact that in 2049 the average $1,000 computer is predicted to be smarter than the whole human race. What does that mean? Will computers control our lives and everything around us? That is a scary thought. The world would be completely different. We would have computers do everything for us. They would get us food dress us, and everything else. We would all be fat from lack of movement and exercise. Something else I'm sacred of for the human race is that we will be over populated. To many people not enough resources. both of these would affect the world majorly. the computer would control most of everything. While at the same time there would be way to many people on the planet. This will affect me because i will still be alive in 2049, and I'm not sure if I'm going to like being told what to do by a computer or being crowed all the time. That's why i recommend everyone watch this video, it gives you something to think about.
