Everyone should blog about their feelings.......it helps release anger!! hahahahaha but seriously though......BLOG ABOUT IT!!
Spending Billions in Space....Is it right?
Spending Billions in Space… Is it right?
I would like you to take a minute and think about the billions of dollars that is spent per year to explore space. The actual NASA budget in 2007 was $16.7 billion dollars!! Why is the government wasting that much money a year to explore outer space? There is absolutely no reason for the government to spend that type of money on space when it is not helping us here on earth at all!
When you look at the facts of space exploration, you have to scratch your head and think, what the heck are we doing? NASA spends billions of dollars each year to explore space. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars on just one trip to space, which does what for us here on earth? Honestly in my opinion this money can be spent on much better things, not space!
Let’s think about how terrible our economy is… Now that you thought about it, think about the NASA budget one more time, 16.7 billion dollars a year! Now I’m not saying that if we weren’t using this money for space things would be good, but I am saying that it would help to spend it elsewhere. The government has been using “bail out plans” to help try to save the economy, well why not use NASA money to help? At least then we would know that the wasteful 16 billion dollars would go towards something useful!
Now let’s think about another option to using $16,000,000,000: OUR SCHOOLS! When you take a look at how many schools across the U.S have to cut spending to balance their budget it is sad. You look at the fact that some public schools have to cut sports teams because they cannot afford to pay for that athletic program. If the government was wasting $16 billion dollars of U.S tax dollars then we could possibly have a better school system. Seriously it doesn’t take a genius to realize that this NASA money is a WASTE!
Again, just to look at another way of spending 16 BILLION DOLLARS would be to spend it on sending kids to college! The NASA budget wouldn’t cover every young kid going to college, but it sure could help create a lot of new grants to give out some money! Mostly every senior in high school is stuck knowing that if they go to college they will most likely be in debt for a big part of life. Think about what the government could do with an extra 16 billion. So many new college grants and scholarships could be made to help young adults get to college without debt!
Now that you have taken a minute and thought of how the government wastes your tax dollars on space, think again if you agree with NASA. There is no way that any logical person could think that spending 16 billion dollars on space is worth it, especially when you look at how things are going here on EARTH! There is no reason at all to think about space, we need to think about making earth better to live on. We need to be spending that money in the U.S, not on Mars, or anything else outside of our country! We don’t need to know anything about what goes on in the rest of the solar system, because we live HERE! If you still agree with NASA, fine, that’s your opinion. However if you agree with NASA, please don’t complain about where this country is headed, thank you!
NO! It is not right to spend taxes on space!!

Conneaut...
So last night at Conneaut I almost got thrown out for being loud.....literally. I was cheering loud at the JV game last night and this lady that worked there told me to quiet down or else I'm gonna be thrown out.. I was really irritated after that.. I was like "Oh really, so now a days we not even allowed to cheer at basketball games?" There was some conneaut students sitting on our side so I also said, "Since you're going by the book, these people should be sitting on their own side!" So the whole rest of the night i kept running my mouth to the students and this lady, hahahaha.. it was kinda funny, you should of been there. But after an ugly game, Harvey was victorious AGAIN! they won 63-58! Go RAIDERS!

GOING TO COLLEGE
I think people really need to think about life after high school.....and they need to start thinking NOW! What are you going to do once you hit the real world? Alot of kids think that they will just keep living like they are and work at some low level job, but the reality is that if you want money you NEED to go to college. Everytime i look at the statistics for average salary it makes me want to go to college even more! Go to this site to check out the average salary for different levels of education.... http://www.earnmydegree.com/online-education/learning-center/education-value.html
On average a family will spend around $40,000 a year! Now take another look at the average salaries.... If you just get your high school diploma chances are you will be losing $10,000 a year... The fact is you really do need college to make a living in life. There are many careers out there and everyone should look into what they would like the most. College may look expensive to you, but really there is many ways to pay for it. You can apply for scholarships, grants, and loans! All of this will help you pay for your tuition! The point of my blog is to help students think about college.... Because last year i didn't even want to go to college, but now i regret alot about it. So hopefully this will help people think more about the future!!!
