and what direction we are going in

service learning

For service learning there are meny things to do. One thing could be to raise money for many different organizations. WE could tutor little kids, Or be like a big brother or sister to someone. We could help clean up bad neighborhoods, or plant gardens. We could go help out the elderly, and make them feel young again. We could go help out at rec. centers, or donate things we don't need to shelters, or people in need. THese are my suggestions for service learning.

NHD expierience

TO me NHD is sucked. I was fun or a little while, but then it got corny. I didn't like tht we did so many preparations, and they didnt seem to pay off. My project was a performance, on MOVE. I learned all about what they where, and how the government handled the confrontations. I feel very successful that i remained calm, and ignored negative energy. My challenges where making sure the time was correct, and dealing wih other opinions. For next year i think i'll be working alone.

W. E. B Dubois

W.E.B Dubois was born on Febuary 23, 1968 in great Barrington, Massachusetts. W.E.B Dubois was very interested in helping push his race forward. At at age 15 he became the local correspondent for the new york globe. In this position he made it his duty to push his race forward by lectures and editorials reflecting upon the need of black people to politicize themselves. Dubois was gifted when it came to his intellectual side. He took pleasure in surpassing his fellow classmates in academics and many other pursuits. After graduation Dubois developed a desire to attend Harvard. But like so many other people financial situations stood in his way. So with the help of family and friends, and a scholarship he received to fisk college, he eagerly headed to Nashville to further his studies. In three years (1985-1988) his knowledge of the race problem became more definite. After seeing discrimination in ways he could only imagine, he developed a determination to expedite the emancipation of his people. He decided consequently to become a writer, editor, and impassioned orator. And in this process developed a belligerent attitude toward the color bar. After graduation from fisk, Dubois entered harvard (via scholarships) classified as a Junior. As a student his education focused on philosophy, centered in history. It then gradually began to turn toward economics, and social problems. Even though Harvard was his dream Dubois felt as though he wasn't part of it, which lead to a quote on his Harvard experience saying, (I was in Harvard, but not of it). Dubois received a bachelor's degree in 1890, and immediately began working toward his master's and doctor's degree. At age 26, with years of schooling behind him he felt that he was ready to began his life's work. He started his first teaching job at the university of Pennsylvania to conduct a research project in Philadelphia's seventh ward slum. After completing his research in Philadelphia Dubois accepted teaching position at Atlanta university to further his teachings in sociology. For 13 years he wrote and studied negro morality, urbanization, negroes in business, college-bred negroes, The negro church and negro crime. during this ideology controversy grew between Dubois and Booker T. Washington, which later grew into a bitter personal battle. Dubois was not opposed to Washington's power, but rather he was against his ideology/methodology of handling power. On one hand Washington decried political political activities among Negroes, and on the other hand dictated Negro political objectives from Tuskegee. Dubois made many accomplishments up to 1940 when he died. He died leaving the world with great knowledge on many race issues, and how to acheive dreams. Below are some of the many offerings of W.E.B Dubois.

when should a child be able to have a lover?

Alot of people ask the question, when should a child be able to have a lover?
I dont think you can put a age on it. If a child is mature enough to handle
being with the other sex, than they should be allowed to have a mate.
No matter how hard parents or adults in general try, you can't stop a kid
from exploring their curiosity. Dating is the way of the world, It's way you meet other people even if you are'nt in a relationship with them. Many people have had a boyfriend/girlfriend since they were in elementary school without parents knowing, so how can you try to stop it when they et older. You never know what
taking that away from a child would do to them. So therefore i don't think that you
can put a age on this question, only a maturity level.
