5th Topic Quote

The quote I chose was "In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught."-Baba Dioum, SEnegalese conservationist
This quote means so much, it's saying that we are only going to beleive what we are told and what we value most will be what other people tell us to value. This quote is also showing the value of individualism. It's also showing that the world is becoming lazy. By only listening to what people tell you are not talking the time to revise the statement and challenge it against what you belive in. This quote could also be forshadowing the future as well. It seems as though education well become biased and censore. The reason we have stories and history is so we can learn from the past and not make the same mistakes twice. History can also influence your individualism as well. Different believe different things and interpret things different as well. This quote is also insulting the human race of who ever this was directed at. It's saying that we as a people will not be able to sustain the capability of thinking for ourselves, therefor calling us stupid. Thats how I'm interprating this quote but just by reading over it again I can see where many more arguments could be brought up and disscussed.

This past week I went to yet another diving meet and improved apon my place standings and i scored more points for the team. Concidering that our team only won by 3 points and i scored 2 by myself, I think that those points could have possibly helped. That was on Saturday, but on Sunday after church I went to intersection with my youth group. It's always nice for me to be able to take a break from school drama and people I see everyday and be able to hang out with kids I dont normally get to see. We went to play football at a park downtown and we successfully entertained a small crowd that ened up watching us play. Since we had a 3 day weekend I had Monday off!!! Which in it self was one of the highlights of my weekend but I went to the House of Torment! It was me and Cody and some other freshman but it was so much fun!
Besides being scared out of my mind and screaming like a 5 year old, I had a blast.
