It's our problem-free philosophy..

1. Databases can only be expanded with an input of knowledge. For humans much of that knowledge comes from experience; the rest is gained through learning. Reading is one of the most advantageous ways to acquire information. Starting at an early age of five or six, children begin with picture books and children's stories, but as we grow older our understanding of language grows and we are able to comprehend more complex writing. The more we read, the more expansive our knowledge becomes, which translates into other areas of our life. In order to be increasingly successful in writing, our minds need to be stretched, and continually expanded with knew ideas. Reading provides that incite that improves the quality of a writer. Without it, ideas grow old, and the wellspring of knowledge and inspiration dries.



2. Most of the world's inventions in this decade have originated outside of the United States. Average students in Asian countries are fluent in three to five languages. Starting at a young age foreign students begin advanced studies in science and math--preparing them to launch into the highly evolved technical world. In America students excel in art. No, in actuality students study a variety of subjects, but not always to the caliber as in countries across the world. History has proven that the United States is roughly twenty years behind Europe, and if that statement holds true then the future of America is dismal. The fate of the United States in America stands in the hands of generation X. The future of those students rests with the education system. Therefore, it is extremely important for those educators to push students to their highest potential. Otherwise, America could potentially loose our cushy status in the not too distant future.


3. I am greatly inspired by the book The Westing Game. Although I first read this book in elementary school, I have read and re-read it many times. This book captivates me because I am enthralled by suspenseful plots, and stories that require me to ponder and deliberate while I read. I enjoy the challenge of attempting to unveil the ending before the author's intended disclosure. This book is all about the secret lives of roughly a dozen inhabitants in the Sunset Towers. Beyond the intricate lives of these unsuspecting people lies an even more intricate secret of the owner of the Towers. This book, as well as others similar to it, is puzzling. Therefore, it is a challenge and a pleasure to immerse myself in them.
