The book is a call to action which motivate readers to follow their heart and create a simple thing that matters in the world. It’s about how can we help and change the world, indeed. Honestly, I always wanted to own a pair of TOMS shoes before because it really looks simple, comfy, and stylish but wasn’t lucky enough to have one. The reason of that is there’s no available sizes for me or the color that I wanted wasn’t available during that time.

Did you know that if your child doesn't go to preschool your child is 25 percent more likely to drop out of school, 40 percent more likely to become a teen parent, and 70 percent more likely to be arrested for a violent crime? My aunt did not go to preschool therefore, she had to be held back in kindergarten twice because it was her first time being in a school environment, and so she didn’t know how to act or how to pay attention at the age 5, that’s just insane. She also became a teen parent, causing her to drop out of school at the age 17 so that she had to take care of her baby. All children should be required to go to preschool because it helps with brain development, child behavior development, and it can be cheaper (Five Surprising Facts

America’s society changed day by day, time by time, and year by year.
As I started to read the required material for the first week in the book. It stated that if you are looking to make a lot of money human services is not the career of choice. I started to think, people who make six figure are not happy because they decided on a career basic on the salary. In life it is all about happiness, don’t get me mislead money plays a big part in everything. But happiness is the key living a long life, choosing a career because of money simply will make a people not love their career.

Poverty is the United States is a major issue and continues to worsen as housing is becoming less affordable for many people across the nation. People that do find housing are often restricted to low-income areas that have few opportunities. In the low income areas there are few jobs and the quality of schools are poor and keep the people in the cycle. To offset this cycle money needs to be put into the education system in these lower income areas to offset this cycle. Education allows for people to have more opportunities and would increase the incentive to live in low-income areas.

Whether or not a person admits it, everyone on the planet has the desire to be remembered.

The first day of school is nerve-wracking for most people, for me, the first day was especially terrifying. The first day of a college class is probably more crazy than all others. My mom and younger sister, Michaela, were busy taking pictures as I attempted to run out of the door. After being homeschooled for the last six years, I knew it would be a much different experience. I had been in my room alone doing school; I was content with where I was. The morning of the first day of class, I was so busy that I didn’t have time to be nervous. However, as I ran out the door, my heart rate elevated to a pace of 138 bpm. I felt older, nervous, excited, and anxious as I left for Pellissippi. Although it had been six years since I had been in a classroom, I realized that all of my worry was for nothing once I walked into Ms. Brown’s class.

In January people often make New Year’s resolutions. They think of things that they want to change or make better and, promise themselves that in the next year they will accomplish it. Let’s be real though, how many people really do succeed? Probably not so many. But of course I made a few, and this year I am really determined to full fill in at least one of them. This year in 2018 I plan to get in better shape, learn a new language and, earn some money. If you made a New Year’s resolution too, remember that’s it's okay to fail, just try your best!
‘Motivation’ is derived from the Latin term ‘movere’ that means ‘to move’. Thus, motivation is a process that starts with a physiological or psychological deficiency or need that activates a behaviour or a drive that is aimed at a goal or incentive (Luthans). Broadly speaking, motivation is willingness to exert high levels of efforts towards organizational goals, conditioned by the efforts’ ability to satisfy some individual needs (Robbins). Need means some internal state that make certain outcomes appear attractive. An unsatisfied need creates tension that stimulates drives within the individual.
