Altruistic Acts

Many people perform altrustic acts throughout every day life. I personally have performed many. The act of helping someone is crucial in my opinion. Something as little as helping an Senior Citizen across the street or donating unwated clothing to a nearby shelter or money to an charity fund. Deeds like that are much appreciated by the person on the recieving end. What motivates humanity to perform selfness acts? For me its the immediate feeling you get right after. Knowing that you just helped someone that was struggling or needed an extra hand is pretty uplifting for your spirit. Also, the media shows the negative things being done majority of the time when in reality thats not how things really work. There are many people that are selfish and dont help others but I like to think that majority of humans help one another in some way shape or form. An Altruistic act that I'm most proud of is when i give away my unwanted clothing every Christmas. I started doing this my 8th grade year. Growing up I didnt always have the nicest clothes and living situation. One evening I was talking to my aunt about things I could do to give back to my community and she came up with the idea that I could give all my old clothing away to the local shelter and donate a $100. Ive been doing this the last 6 years and I plan on doing A LOT more in the future years to come. The feeling you get when you help someone is unreal. Not thinking about yourself and making it your job to put a smile on someones face is pretty special. Especially a kid that is going through a rough time. A Selfness acts is a way of giving back to your community. Going out of your way to help someone that isnt a relative just so they could have some type of happiness is awesome. Not every person is born into a well ran or family with money. Their are those people who struggle and need someone to put a smile on there face so if I can be that person, then I will always take that oppurtunity. Altruistic acts are positive. Doesnt matter what you do, as lonmg as your helping someone that needed an hand is a great thing. If that person decides so give you money, then thats up to you to take it. I personally dont think you should feel bad for taking it. However you go into a situation with the expectation of recieving money then you probally shouldnt be helping them at all.

Qualities of a Good President

By: Jonathon S There’s a few different qualities that make a good president. Everyone has a different opinion and political party that they prefer. But what makes a person decide who they want as there leader. For me, I look for personalities traits. Leadership is at the top of the list for what I expect in my president. Another trait I look for is honesty. Lastly, I expect them to be sufficient. I believe that these three traits are key to being viewed as a good president or a good leader. You want to be a leader in whatever you do but if you take on the duty of being the United States of America President, knowing how to lead and navigate your country in the right direction is extremely important. However, we’ve had some presidents in the past who leadership as a president has been questioned. Being a leader isn’t as easy as it sounds. Especially when you’re leading for millions of people who have their own opinion on how this country should be ran. The definition of leadership is the action of leading a group of people or an organization. When you’re President, you’re not just thinking about yourself, you’re thinking about the entire country you represent. Leaders are usually extremely vocal and problem solvers. Another thing I look for is honesty. Being honest with anyone will get you far in life. A lot of presidents hold information and try to hide things from the nation. Some do so that the people don’t panic but I think you should just let people know so that they can be prepared. It’s important for the president to be honest so that the people trust what he’s saying. A lot presidents come in saying that they’re going to solve all these problems and debts but when the 4th year of their term come around, they’ve made very little progress. It’s important that you do what you say you’re going to do so the nation knows that you’re trustworthy and a man/lady of your word. I also believe that if honesty comes with integrity so if you’re openly lying and making claims but not putting your all into it, then there’s no telling what you’re doing when no ones looking. Honesty is a major trait that should be installed in any man or woman who is trying or currently the president of the United States of America. The last trait I look for is efficiency. Efficiency is huge. You want to be efficient in every situation and/or solution. When presidents are in the debate stage they basically make claims and promises on what they’re going to do if their elected. If elected, we the people expect those claims and promises to be kept. However this isn’t done majority of the time. They make their promises and what not then once their elected, they show their true colors. If you’re efficient all four years of your term, no one can say anything bad about you and if they do, everyone knows its not accurate. These traits are important and should be practiced when a president is serving.

Water Spill

The water spill in West Virginia is legit scary and mind blowing. I cant imagine what those people are going through. You cant shower, drink tap water or anything. You have to be super cautious on something that you do everyday. Something as simple as showering or drinking tap water. I wonder what the people that are actually going through it is thinking. I can only imagine how much fear is installed in them. Parents have to be super careful to make sure that their younger kids don't drink or come in contact with the water. One sip could cost cancer and lead to death(s). That's just crazy/scary to think about if you ask me. That contaminated water affected more than 300,000 residents of West Virginia. That's 16% of the states population. However, the water spill didn't just affect people and their home situation, children weren't allowed at school for a few days which means kids are losing valuable and much needed time to be educated. My thought and prayers go out to the families who are going through this traumatic situation. I pray everyone remains safe until they have the problem fixed.
