Laudato SI
The dialogue in Laudato Si to educate people on the need for change.
My biggest take away is that there has to be change and the only way change can happen is if we all work together.
He is trying to reach out to people and educate them on climate change.
I will work to the best of my ability to stop climate change in every way that I can. I first need to be more concious of what I am doing and then change will happen.

Body World
I explored some of the reproductive system, obesity and lung cancer. This field trip was incredible insightful and made me question a lot of everyday habits that have life long effects on your body. The smokers lung really intrigued me, I've had multiple people in my family die from lung cancer. To compare what a healthy lung and a smokers lung looked like really strengthened the importance of not smoking. I would recommend some family members of mine, the ones who smoke and are struggling with obesity. Originally I thought that it would be unsettling to see the dead bodies but the bodies really helped demonstrate the cause and effects of everything on the body, included pollution, and chemicals.

Life Update: New Year 2018
My winter break was good. I went up to Sunriver, Oregon (which is a couple miles from Bend) for Christmas and then my Aunt's Wedding. The Wedding was beautiful, the venue was very classy. I worked on my colleges essays as I have to turn them in January 15...so the count down is on. My goals for myself is not enjoy life around me. Pretty soon (if I get into a college) everything will change. So I want to cherish my time left at Notre Dame because I really do love this school. I am looking forward to graduating in May. My final goal is for the environment. For myself I am working on being more waste free. For my house I am setting up easier methods of composting. Although my family has a compost trash can separating trash, recycling and compost has been an issue.
