I really don't know what my passion is. I do know that I care a lot for the kids who are left homeless and a very poor. For as long as I could remember I've always wanted to help those kids. I see those commercials on television about helping those kids out, by donating money. I would like to do something like that because I know money (even if it's not a lot) will help out a lot. I feel like it is not the children's fault. I wish there could be a lot more to do. The countries are really poor so it's hard to change the whole society. It will take a long time to change everything.
Another passion I have is to be successful in life. I've always wanted to live in a brownstone. I live in midtown Manhattan so I'm surrounded by them. I think they are beautiful and a wonderful place to live in. I know it will take a lot of hard work to accomplish this goal. I know that I want to be successful in life so that will make me work harder in school. I plan on working hard in my education; getting my bachelors and masters, right after one another. I want to get my masters in counseling psychology. I'm sure I will get very far with that.
With both of these passions I know I will need to work hard in education. When I become successful I know I will get money which hopefully help out those poor kids and getting a brownstone.

How Did I Impact The Environment Today?
Well lets see today I did not do much. I went to work and was there all day basically. I did few things that I know impacted the environment, not in the best way possible...
First of all, my co-workers and I wasted a lot of paper. We could of saved the papers to use as notes for later. Even though most of them were receipts, the back were still blank. At my job we use plain paper to fold the clothes (they go in the middle of the clothes and we just fold over the paper, making it a lot straighter). A lot of paper went to the clothes and once we sold something, for the most part we just throw out the paper. I tried to reuse the blank paper over on other clothes but with some of them I did throw away =-/
Second, I bought tea (twice) and both of those times the store gave me paper cups. Even though one cup was small and the other one was big, there was a lot of waste there. I actually wanted to bring my thermal to work but I ended up rushing myself and completely forgot to prepare it. It would of been a good idea being that my thermal is pretty big.
I will be honest, I hardly do anything for the environment. The only thing that I do is recycle but I know there is a lot more I can do. After reading Al Gore's book, I realized that I should be doing a lot more than what I am doing right now but I am lazy even though I know it does not take much. I can say I'm just making up excuses for myself. Instead of buying coffee or tea, I know I can get into the habit of bringing my thermal. It will be a smart idea because I would do something good for the environment and save money (which we all can use)!
I have two major concerns: 1) The water shortage that we are undergoing. I did not know about this problem and it was shocking to find out. If we run out of water, we will not be able to survive in this world. I don't know about everybody but I know there is a lot of things I still want to do before I stop existing from this world.
2) Global warming is something that's very scary. All those ice glaciers that are melting is something that everyone should be worried about.
I wish everyone would realize what is going on with the world and change. The government should really step in and do something but that seems a lot to be asking for.
