I think that my family buys too much fruit. I’m not anti fruit, but there are like 30 apples in my fridge. My grandpa always complains about how he has to throw away so much fruit, but he's the one who buys way too much. Fruit is impotent to a diet but I don't need to eat like 10 oranges a day. My grandpa is very into stuff with nutrient. I don't think that we need that much food just to waste it. Another thing I think we have too much of is cookies. I don't eat that many cookies but my dad does. He eats them for breakfast, and he's getting kind of fat from the cookies. I really like cookies but I don't think we need 4 packs of cookies. Ice cream is another thing we don't need much of. My dad always buys some, but he's almost the only one who eats it. Soda is the same as it and again my dad is the only one who drinks/eats it. He's told me that I’m chubby before but he's the one eating all that junk. I think I buy too many socks. It weird but I but a pack like every month, but I have almost like 50 pairs. I kind of feel bad when I use money that I don't need to use. So mostly food and socks is what my family buys too much of. That's kind of weird. Me buying socks is a habit though, so that might change yet. But my father is the one who buys and eats most of the sweet things. I think my grandpa is buying less fruit already. So maybe we will buy less of everything in the future. Or not.

Person That Changed the World

The person that I believe changed the world would be Mohandas Karamchand Ghandi. I think that he proved that conflict can be solved we peace. Instead of killing he did thing like going on hunger strikes. He helped India get its indpendence in 1947. That was a huge change in the world. You can see how India has grown since then. He made a big change in the world. Some people relized that conflicts can be handled with peace.
Not only did he help India gain its independence, but he also went to college in London for law. I think that was a big thing back in those days since India was under control by the british. The british even arrested him before too. He was arrested because the british found out about him trying to help India gain independece when he was in South Africa.
He even solved more problems. Hindus and Muslims started fighting. At his age of 78 he fast(hunger strike) so that the bloodshed between the two grouops would stop. 5 days later the pledge to stop and he broke his fast. But 12 days later he was killed by a Hindu fanatic. It's hard to believe some one kill such a peaceful.
I think Ghandi really changed the world. It obvious that the big thing he did was help India. But he also cared for the people like when they walked to the ocean to gather freash salt. He was a good person. Its really inspiring when you see there were people like him. I believe many people have taken his ways by soving problems with peace. There are people though who don't like Ghandi and the way he was.

Thoughts on Video Leason

I think that the video was an easier way to learn because you could go back to it. Like some videos are hard to learn from because they're on one screen, but this one was nice because it was one were it could be on eveyones screen and they could go back to cartain parts of the video if they need help. I think one problem is, though, if the volume or something on someones computer isn't working the video wouldn't really work out. I think it was also nice because you couold take your time with itinstead of trying to figure out what the teacher did before. So I think it was nice, it helped me get through the photo shop stuff.
