We can pulvarize poverty! (Stubc08)

What is poverty? According to dictionary.com, poverty is insufficiancy or indigence. Although some people do not have to worry about money or if they will have dinner that evening, there are many people who wake up wondering if they can make it through the day. It is heartbreaking to think that one billion children live in poverty. That is one in every two children. Also, almost half the world (three billion people) live on less than $2.50 a day. Can we go on like this? What happens if this continues? Why? A single person can change this. The girl effect shows the small steps in which a girl can change the world. It is amazing. thegirleffect.com. What are you thinking at this moment? "Oh, I am just an average person, I can't do anything." If thats what you are thinking, that is not the case! You alone can raise awarness by making flyers, starting an organization, or simply telling someone. Just taking two seconds and tell somebody whats going on can make a difference. Together we can pulvarize poverty and together we can make a difference.

The good ol' state of Georgia! (stubc08)

If you like good football, some scary ghost stories, and southern cooking that makes you want to smile, I suggest you make your way to my state, Georgia. Home of the University of Georgia, Paula Deen, famous peaches, and so much more. Georgia is not only a great place to live, but also a great place to visit. If you were to stop by, there are a few places that I would recommend. First, I would go to the heart of Atlanta and go to the Georgia aquarium. Not only is it right in the middle of downtown, there is a plentiful amount of exotic animals. Then, I think you should move on over to Athens. Home of the Georgia Bulldogs (Go dawgs!) Lots of excitment at the university and also many cute botiques in downtown Athens. After an adventorous day in Athens, Savannah should be your next stop. Savannah, a very historic city, is a great place to stop. While there, you should visit one of Paula Deen's famous resteraunts and maybe go on a ghost tour. The tours there are so much fun. They even have one that takes you in a hurse. It's great! If you want to see a different side of Georgia, I would recommend Hiawassee. It is a smaller town, but let me tell you, it is georgous. The mountains there are breath taking. Hiawassee also has quick and easy access to many fun places. Those would include Chatanooga, Tennessee and certain areas in North Carolina, so perfect for a day trip! There are so many things in Georgia to see and do, I can barely even start to name them all. I hope if you come to Georgia, that you will tell me all about your experiences and if you thought my advice was helpful.
