A few weeks ago, I became an agent in a global network of social innovators. Urgent EVOKE: A Crash Course in Saving the World opened on March 3, 2010. It’s a social network, a game, a , and a learning experience all in one. It was designed and is directed by Jane McGonigal for the World Bank Institute.
 

Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been Aspergers Syndrome. I remember reading about it in Dear John, John's dad had this syndrome. Then I learned about it a little in my psych class. Lately, the disorder caught my eye again after I saw a movie. I know that many people don't know a lot about this. From what I have heard, people with Aspergers Syndrome are like regular people but they want things a certain way.For example, I heard that they have time table that they follow everyday. Now that's just what I've heard, it may or may not be true.

One thing that I know for sure about Aspergers Syndrome is that they don't have a easy life. Now I've studied my share of Science, and found out that people with Aspergers Syndrome can do everything that a regular person does but for them everything is in a order or a specific way.

Aspergers Syndrome a neurological disorder was named for the Austrian pediatrician, Dr. Hans Asperger, who first described the disorder in 1944. People with Aspergers Syndrome have don't have a lot of interests or hobbies. They have can't express themselves easily they are introverts.

Recently in English class we've been talking about the 2010 Haiti earthquake. At first when I heard about that earthquake I though it was just another devastating earthquake but when we started talking about it in class I learned that Haiti has been through a lot. I first heard about the earthquake in facebook, I saw some pictures in a support Haiti group and the pictures looked horrible. I didn't know much about Haiti until this week when we had to do some research on 2010 Haiti earthquake.

One thing I know for sure is that Haiti has been through a lot of struggle and they are still struggling. In english class we watched a Video where a doctor in Haiti was interviewed. The doctor was talking about how many people are injured and needs to be operated but they don't have a lot of space for operation also they don't have the right supplies to conduct an operation.

In high school I meet some amazing people and became friends with them. My group of friends changed over years but I'm still friends with everyone. My best friends in school are these three girls Diane, Diana, and Allesia. I love them a lot and in school I'm mostly with them. We are all different from each other which makes us very good friends because we have a lot to talk about. One thing that's great about our friendship is that we can be honest with each other. Although we might not take it very well sometimes but we understand each others concerns. Also we support each others decision. When ever I do something I talk to them about it because I know that if I am wrong they will tell me.

Other then these three girls there are some other amazing people like Helen, Rea, Michelle Sujeong, Edgar ,William, Jonathan, Jordan and many more. I don't think I will ever forget them or my time in high school. We had a lot of fun in our school since 9th grade. The Every year of high school was different but fun.
