Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

After reading the newspaper clipping, I think the principal is right when he says, "You are important and you are needed." He is saying that everybody has a part in the world, even if it's a really small one. He is also right when he says, "The world does not owe you a living, you owe the world something." He is saying that good things aren't just going to come to you. You have to work for them.

After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.

While watching Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech, I thought about how every human being in the world is just as good as the rest. Sure people are better at some things and worse at others, but that is what makes us who we are. It's not the amount of things you are given, it's what you do with the things you have. Ashton Kutcher did a great job of explaining this at during his acceptance speech, and I'm glad he sent the message to such a large audience.

What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?

A Public Service Announcement is something announced to the public to raise awareness for a particular issue, or problem, happening in the world. An example of a PSA is when people raise awareness against obesity. Once they release this announcement, there all all sorts of different fundraisers and groups to help people that are obese.
