PLN of choice

A women in South Korea failed her driving test 771 times, and shes been trying every single day since 2005 and has yet to try it the 772nd time. The reason I picked this topic, is because I recently got my permit, and I passed the test my first time trying it, and got 100%. I really don’t see how a driving test could be that hard. Seriously if she has failed that many times, shes obviously not going to be a very good driver. I’m just glad that I don’t live anywhere near her, because if one day she passed by maybe one point, and got her license, she would probably be a wreckless driver, and might eventually cause fatal accident, and end up killing people. This relates to me because it makes you think about people that are driving next to you when you’re on the road that might have passed the test by maybe one point, that’s just kind of scary.

Response to the video "Lost Generation"

This video really reflects on how some people live life, and it's kind of scary to think about it. I thought that this video really talked about, not only how people can live such a dreadful sort of life, but I think that it also was trying to get out there that, you can help these people. We can help these people to get back on their feet and living a life that means something. It's literally all about changing to world, whether that means that we go out and pick up trash, or make a difference in someone's life. If you get someone up and out of depression or something, and maybe they will go along, and deliver that service to other people, and then everyone benefits from it, and your goal for Changing the World is now accomplished. To me this video could potentially change the way I live, as a class, or even just a person, if I decided to go out and actually think about doing something to help a group of people, I not only feel good about it, but then those people might pass on the generosity, and my goal of Changing the World is then accomplished.
