Food is a crucial substance that can impact our bodies in many ways. When I was 21, I became very engaged with health and fitness and made an effort to fuel my body with foods that are healthy and nourishing My experience with fitness and nutrition lead me to realize the significant impact that healthy food can have on and individual. Additionally, I came to the realization that many individuals don’t have access to healthy food, or food at all. Even worse, the food options that many individuals have access to don’t have any beneficial aspect to them besides the fact that they temporarily cure someones hunger. This is an issue. The organization that I propose is Food For Everyone . This organization would strive to help eliminate the 6,500 food deserts that exists across major cities throughout the nation (Bayer). A food desert is an area that struggles to have access to affordable and high quality food. Food deserts are typically found in poorer neighborhoods as many places that offer...

Thinking on Jacqueline Novogratz quote from,  The Blue Sweater, there are many things that I can think of that would make the world a better place.

When I was sixteen years old, I went abroad to Nicaragua for six weeks to help learn and enhance the well-being of a rural community. It was here that I learned that there are a lot of people who lack the knowledge regarding sanitation, and lack access to items that allow for sanitation. As a res...

When I hear the word sequel I don't usually get to excited about it. The word sequel to me equates to a money grab by Hollywood to squeeze some extra profit out of an idea that should have been successful as is without any successors. I think I find sequels to rarely be superior to the film proceeding it because I believe the writers don't have enough time to come up with a storyline that beats the original storyline. Maybe thats why The Hunger Games: Catching Fire wasn't a disaster like other sequels, since the story had already been written prior to the movie trilogy coming out.  I think everyone can agree that The Hunger Games were a pivotal trilogy apart of the dystopian movie era that took over theaters from 2012 to around 2015, when the Divergent and Maze Runner series were coming out simultaneously. However, The Hunger Games trilogy shines amongst all the dystopian films that were dominating the cinema because the trilogy introduced an idea to our society that was so...
