In my opinion, every human being makes a major impact on the environment. The simple action of someone in Japan may affect the life of someone in Brazil or France. We are all in one way or an other interconnected. For instance, let’s say a little boy was lying down on the beach in Hawaii holding a mirror towards the sun, and the reflection of the mirror penetrated the windshield of an airplane and blinds the pilot and the plane which was headed to Australia ends up crashing. Now of course that’s far fetched, but I got your attention. Ha-ha-ha!
Personally, I think my impact on the environment is great significance; although I don’t drive much I still have as duty to spread the message that Revelle and his associates had begun spreading. A message which was made popular by Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth documentary at the end of last year.

My Bio

Greetings! This is Dr. Spock!! Just kiddin!My name is Rodolphe Pierre. I’m a Media Studies major at LaGuardia Community College. This is my second semester; I began back in March of 2007. My main academic goals however is to earn a bachelor in Filmmaking; I’m interested in becoming a cinematographer some day, but got to crawl before you can walk.
My name is French, I’m not French. I was born in Haiti; it’s a small island in the Caribbean roughly seven hundred miles of the coast of Florida. It is located on the island of Hispaniola, which comprise the Dominican Republic to the east which was a Spanish colony, and Haiti to the west side of the island which was a French colony. Thus most Haitians have French names or something similar to it, and speak Creole which is somewhat like the French language, but not quite.
My goals in life start with the common goals of all mankind which are Survival, happiness, and good health. In details, I’d say that my goals are, to one day have a successful career in Film, have a family of my own, and be financially stable.
This research paper class is of great interest to me, because I also would like to also write screenplays, and possibly a Novel someday, so I certainly look forward to the theme of this semester in my classes because everything I learn brings me one step closer to my goals and dreams. However, I don’t expect it to be easy; I don’t my challenges though. I know if I’m to have any chance at success in writing I need to improve my typing skills a whole lot. And now that I’m in a class that does everything on the computer it’s definitely going to be challenging for me, but I’m sure once I start doing in a lot I’ll get better at it. I was hoping that they offered typing classes here at LaGuardia, so I can learn the proper techniques, but I couldn’t find any. Maybe one day when I can afford a PC I’ll get one of those typing software to help me develop those skills.
As for the assignments in this class, I’m interested in the in working on blog2, because I like the subject it covers.
