PLN 8 semester 2
I read an article called" How to find Happiness without buying It" by David Bohl which I had heard a fellow classmate talk about in class today. The author talked about he does not think money can buy happiness. We had a discussion about this in class. I personally think that money can't buy you happiness because the things that I find make me happy, are things that I can't buy with money. Things like my family and friends and sometimes even life itself. But someone also had said that those who have always had enough money don't even realize what they have and can't really appreciate the fact of how much they have. Just like Hollywood stars, having all that money doesn't mean they are happy all the time. However, I can't say I could live without it or say that it is not important. We use money all of the time, we are in constant need of money to buy the things we need for everyday uses, like food and clothes, etc. Then another thing is sometimes, those who don't have all the money they need, are usually so much happier than those who do have everything they could ever want because they have come to appreciate the more important things that can't be bought. Just try taking a trip to Africa and visiting the children who are so happy with so little because the are thankful for what they have. Which is a problem for some of us American kids who are not thankful for anything we get. I guess the main point I got from this blog was that we need to not only appreciate the material things we are blessed to have, but also the other things that can't be bought.

Xavia- You made very good eye contact during your whole presentation. You made good conections to youself and to the world. Other than that good job.
You seemed a little nervous because you stumbled over your words just a little but then you got back on your feet and did a great job by looking at the audience and talking loud and clear so everyone could hear you.
Xavia, wonderful job. Try to make a little more eye contact with your audience, when you look down, it muffles your words. However, other than this, you did awesome. You had really good connections and strong points about both of your PLNs. Work on eye contact, and by the end of this semester, you'll be golden.
Xavia! I think there is no exception for people not participating in class, even if they are the smartest ones in the class. I like talking and sharing ideas in class because sometimes it could lead to a heated, exciting debate! Well done!
