Kony 2012

One of the most popular videos on Youtube is the Kony 2012 video. It has hit more than 90,000,000 views and it has gone viral ever since it has been up. The video takes you on an  emotional roller coaster ride, and leaves you with an advertisement, and an ask for a donation. I felt sad and upset to know what was going on in the world, and had a mind set that this person, Joseph Kony, needed to be found, and punished. The things I heard that he does, and did, was sickening and hard to imagine. When time passed, people started to spread rumors and criticize the video itself, and the maker of the video. Many people have a diverse opinion about the way they view the video, but I believe the video is very beneficial, instead of it being fake and dissimulating.

The video is real, and these situations that are happening in Uganda is real, and there needs to be an action taken to stop this cruelty and the start of the actions were all thanks to the video that went viral, Kony 2012.

The film was a way to notice the things that are happening in the world, and it has started many actions to help these kids in Uganda. And without this video, the actions that are taken now in the society.

Although Jason Russel as a person has done some odd and unusual things, like going around in public nude, and etc., but putting that aside, he has made a movement, in the peoples hearts and he has moved something, in a 30 minute film. He has devoted his time, and effort to put this matter into action, and therefore he shouldn't be criticized for his way of expression through film and nudity, and he should be appreciated.

There are a lot of rumors saying that the video is a scam, but if you think of it, the world would've never even knew about Joseph Kony. 

Yes, there are a lot of things going around about how the video is not credible and how it's a scam and all that, if you look at all the actions we took because of that video is incredible, and we can't un-acknowledge the help from the video. Therefore the Kony 2012 video was made for a purpose and the purpose was served, and the video is not just one of those viral videos, but a beneficial viral video.

Chain Writing

GLPS. You meet new people and learn new things. At first i was scared of what would happen, but as time passed, things grew on me, and thing became more comfortable. At first I didn't know if GLPS would be beneficial to me or not. but, naturally when in this environment, you automatically start to learn about new things and all. The people you are with are all great and the people you meet are wonderful. Without even realizing it, you end up being attached to the people around you, and you start wishing it would never end. But time flows. Things end. It is not stoppable, as all people know. There's going to be parting. We are going to remember things happened here and we will be a little sad, or really, really sad and we will feel longing. GLPS like the name it's to become a global leader but we found out it meant much more. We make another relationship with these people. Work together as teams, fight each other as roommates. There are much more things to experience during the time here. But, you cannot see a yellow penguin at GLPS, at least, not one that is alive. In fact,I don't know if you can see one in the outside world, either! My biggest wish is to see a yellow penguin. Actually, to have a yellow penguin, and name him John. but the problem is that there's no yellow penguins here, but the lovable classmates and roommates. You eat, sleep, and study with them for a month, and although it's a short time period, you get along with each other quickly. it makes you feel really sad to say good-bye to each other, because time fits and 29 days are short. We love party, but farewell party, it's different. it is unpleasant and sad to leave KMLA, but again, especially in the condition that they are living overseas. Since we are in a dormitory condition, we bonded with each other, so much better than we would have if we were just at a school, only seeing each other for a part of the day. We got to know each other for a part of the day. We got to know each other really well, and the fact that we have to leave and go back to our normal life without the friends we've met here, scares some of us. They say when you meet someone, a departure has to happen.We can't stay with each other forever. Someone's departure is bound to happen, although some may cry, but it is inevitable. It might be heart breaking, but we have to get over it because it kill happen a lot in our life time.

2 Truths and a Lie

So you think you know me, huh? Well here's a little quiz to find out.

1. When I was 8 I broke my leg. My dad and I were on a hike and we were on our way down. On my way down, my legs lost there strength and it started to wobble a bit. However I wasn't aware of it, and I lost balance and rolled down the stoned stairs, bruising my back and legs. I was stopped by a tree and I landed on my right leg. It slammed into the tree and it was aching very badly. My dad finally rushed to where I was and he helped me down the mountain, thinking that i sprained my ankle. However, I had actually broken my right leg. I had to wear a cast for 3 monthes and it was so uncomfortable. I used crutches to help me walk, and everybody used my crutches as a toy, at school.

2. One time, whenI was in 6th grade, I was on my way to school, and I was crossing the road. At that moment, a car zoomed by hitting me in the stomach with the side mirror. I fell backwards, on my butt, but the car just drove past. Luckily, the accident happened in the neighborhood and the car was not going too fast. If the driver had stopped and asked if I was okay that day, I don't think I would've been mad as much. But anyways, my stomach ached for the whole day, and when I arrived at home and checked my stomach, it was bruised and I felt pain.

3. When I was little I went ice skating with my dad, sister, and uncles. It was winter, and my dad was helping me skate, and my sister and uncles were on their own. While skating, I was about to fall backwards, but my dad pulled me upwards to prevent me from falling, and so he pulled my forearm and then it popped out of its socket. It hurt so bad, and the pain was flowing through my arm. My mom thought I was faking it and she told me to stop whining, but after a while, my dad took me to the hospital, and it turned out that my forearm popped out of my socket.

Because I feel so terrible for all the things I've done, here's my apology.


I'm sorry for all the times I yanked your hair this way and that way.
I'm sorry for blaming you when your clothes ripped because I put them on you inside out.
I'm sorry for throwing you across the room every time I got angry.


I'm sorry for turning you from thisto this

I'm sorry for calling you ugly, when actually I'm the one who made you ugly.
I'm sorry for coloring your hair with scented markers so that it's colorful and scented.
