Research Explination and reading time

   Hey Mom, we're doing this project at school and i picked human trafficking. You probably don't know what that is so ill go ahead and tell you. Human Trafficking is the illegal movement of people taken from someone who uses trickery to promise a better life, education, or jobs. It's a huge problem in our world that's growing very quickly because it's a low risk- high reward crime. You may still wonder why you haven't heard about this, thats because it mainly happens in the poor middle easter countries such as thailand. Lastly these slaves are taken hostage and forced to work without pay and mainly used as sex slaves.

   How could you not understand that mom? Human trafficking is an illegal movement or trade of human beings for forced labor or as sex slaves. This problem is booming in the broke countries of the middle east. The poor protection that countries such as Thailand have cannot get the job done to put this crime to an end. These criminals make millions of dollars just of one human being because they can be sold many times. Human trafficking is even surpassing the drug dealing industry because unlike drugs they buy humans and they don't go away or run out.

Research update

My research project is moving very slowly because i'm still catching up on work from every single class iv'e missed from my concussion. Although i'm not at the point which my classmates are at in there project, i'm getting there. The hardest thing for me since I missed all of the instructions is to understand how to do the note cards, annotated bib, or citations. I think I need to have a conference with Dr. D tomorrow about my questions, and try to make more progress.

So far, not much has been completed besides a few notecards, a couple citations, and some background knowledge, and i'm suppose to have an annotated bibliography by friday? I think I definitely need to make some progress quickly before I fall even more behind.

My Avocation

If someone asked me what is my favorite avocation, i would give them a definitive answer, "basketball". A major aspect in basketball, and in all sports is the anxiety or "butterflies" many people get before games. I personally am not good at handling the pressure of big games because i over think everything, it's not like I'm going up against these basketball prodigies, but sometimes i feel like i am even though i'm not.

 Once iv'e gotten into the game and into the swing of things, half time comes around and the raucous crowd makes me lapse and get more nervous, which leads to me playing bad. basically i'm the farthest from adroit at handling these high pressure games, and the affronts some opposing players make during the game does't help either. Sometimes these players act militant towards me or other players, leading to me getting intimidated, but i always have to keep my demeanor in check and play through it.
