Blog Revisons
Throughout these past 2 years I have been in Menemac I have learned so much about technology it's amazing. To show what I have learned I have decided to showcase in my blog. For example,I decided to change my blog's title from Today's learners are tomorrow's future into Words are a way of Life because in everyday life we need words to communicate with each other whether is telling someone directions, or letting out your emotions. Also I have changed my background picture into me with a background of a beach because usually the beach is where I like to let everything loose because it's so peaceful you don't even worry about everything as you lie in the soothing sand, with the wooshing of waves coming in. Also I changed my blog achieves to show that now I'm more organized instead of having to look through my whole blog just to find something,which my take forever.

Coming of Age 1st draft
Rinnnnnng,was all I remember that day. Saying good-byes at school and walking to my friend Drake's house,playing video games.
Ahhhhh, just waking up from bed from a long day before. I got ready for summer school that morning with a tingling feeling like something wrong was going to happen. But I thought to myself nothing was going to happen.
As I got to school, all my thought sank away as we were filled with conversations with laughter and happiness. Rinnnng,the bell rung signaling that school started. "What another wonderful day at P.E." I thought to myself. The period was filled with laughter and excitement as we played pickel-ball. After that everything felt like went downhill. The sky was turned pitch-black like it was going to pour.
"Ayee Drake,where you like meet?" as I talked to him to take me home. As I got into the car, the same feeling ran through as something bad had just happened,but I tried getting over it but I couldn't. When we went to Drake's house, my dad was waiting for me in his car. I tried calling my mom, but she wouldn't answer and from there I knew something was wrong!
The path he was taking me was so familiar. A long ride into the dark,thunderous sky on the Pali to my Grandma's house. "Your mom told me to pick you up!" my dad said. But I just sat in the car silenced, and stunned. Tears started to roll down my face aleardy like a drizzle.
As soon as we got to my Grandma's house, things just became a daze as I ran into the house like a freight train, nothing stopping me. I gave my Grandpa a big hug as if he was still alive. But he just lay there helplessly,and motionless. My mom had to pull me aside after a good 3 minutes I was hugging my Grandpa. First she gave me a big hug,then she said to me "It's alright, now he's not suffering."Yeah your right" as I said weeping in tears.
I should've known that something like this was going to happen. I should've known when I got those weird feelings in the morning and after school. I should've known when my dad rushed me down the Pali.
But even though my Garndpa isn't with us, I learned alot of things from it. First that even though he had cancer and was getting worse, he still lived his life as if there was no tomorrow. Another thing was that even though people may doubt you,like people doubted on how much time he had, he proved them wrong by fighting to make wonderful things happen. And lastly if you have people that care about you, use them wisely because you never know what could happen.

Position Statement Mini Essay: Tourist Safety
Tourist must be responsible for their own safety. One reason is because they must have some common sense. Another reason is because they should research the possible safety requirements needed to go to tourist attractions.
Tourist must have some common sense because they should already know the possible consequences that the place contains. For example, Who goes on a blowhole and dances with the waves coming in?! People should be more aware of what things are happening around them instead of just thinking of themselves. Some things they should notice is like how big the waves are coming in, or how sharp the rocks are, or previous incidents that have already happened at attractions such as in 2002 a 18 year old had straddled a blowhole and got blow up 3-5 feet in the air and came down injured. Then in July 15, 2011 another guy, David Potts was dancing on the blowhole while getting swept away with the strong currents. Like people, come on now let's have a little more common sense now!
The other reason is to research about the possible safety requirements that are needed for your attractions. For example, a hike you should know the things you are going to take such as liquids, covered shoes. You should also see if it is an official hike that alot of people go on, unlike in 2006 two women, Paula Ramirez and Elizabeth Brem both fell off a cliff near Opaekaa Falls on Kauai. Several guidelines and Internet sites had listed it as an unofficial hike and no public trails leading to the falls, wouldn't you think they would think it's an unsafe environment? Well they just went ahead and followed the trail and even though there was a sign that said it was unsafe they went anyways again! So people should be more aware on what the possible consequences are for the attractions they are going to.
So through all these disastrous events that have happened to tourists, it also show how much they were prepared and how much common sense they have. Apparently they weren't taking the right steps to create environment for them and people around them. So please people let's have a bit of common sense and have a clue on what were are getting ourselves into before we go to our attractions.
