Invisible Children

I just watch the video of the the kids who went to Africa and I found it quite disturbing how the people in Africa can live in such poverty and chaos. I know all of Africa is not like Sudan or Somalia but the wars in those countries cause fleeing refugees to be found all around. Its just a really bad situation and there isn't much we can do besides raise awareness and do whatever we can to help.

Alright so for creativity I'm doing a lot with photography. I'm learning how the settings affect how the lens will focus and all the other features of a camera. The hardest is fooling the auto-focus so that it focuses on one really small object.
For action I'm pushing myself like never before. I get up at 6am nearly everyday and run, then I either workout or run again at the end of the day. I'm trying to get it great shape so that I can hopefully play basketball and pass physical fitness tests for the Air Force. I also do a lot of water sport such as skiing and wake boarding however I haven't been able to do them as much since summer ended. I am going skiing this weekend though.
For service I've been helping out with a group of student who want to help senior citizens by teaching them to ride the sunshine bus. I'm also starting to help out with best buddies at school which is something I've always wanted to do. Over the summer I went out boating and jet skiing a lot, so a few of the times I went I just picked up floating trash in the inter coastal and around the inlets. Also I'm helping out with a kind of IB mentor project that most of our class is working on. The idea is to help other students entering IB and by giving them advise on their work ethic and stuff. It really is more convincing when taking advise from other students going through the program rather than the teachers.
