I thought that the poverty video really impacted me, by showing me what I use and buy everyday contributes to the global poverty rate. The fact that if we get rid of all the guns in the world, all those 24 facts can be erased really made me think. I had difficulties to day writing my speech, but I think I am making good progress with the speech writing so far.

Yes I agree Little Boy, the statistics poverty video impacted me too. How it said 22,000 children die everyday into poverty, thats just so sad. I feel so lucky to be in a well place. Where their are'nt to many bad diseases, healthy environment and more that kids might be wanting right now. See you guys tommorow!

What impacted me was on the poverty video was how the 7 most wealthy people could put all their money together and still have more than 41 countries living in poverty. How in America they spend 11 billion on ice cream sales and factories along with 20 billion or more for weapons. We should be smarter with our money because we all have these items to us which are just little things. To someone in poverty those little things are really big things to them. To us a sandwich is just another sandwich. We complain about how we don't want pickles or mayo on a sandwich. But to someone living in poverty, a sandwich is most likely the biggest meal they've had in a long while. We all are so lucky to live in a safe enviroment with clean water,food,clothing, and shelter. We are lucky to have medical care, medicine, physio therapists, sychiatrist, and even an accountant. Some people have no shoes and no food. We need to be more grateful for what we have and stop spending so much on the little things rather than spending it on the big things.

What intrigued me was that to know if we cut weapon spending by 1% that we could fix all the problems in that socials video.

Something that intrigued me today was the poverty video and that 70,000,000 children weren't sent to school!
