Food storage on a role

A few weeks ago I became a little worried about the future of our country as Romney stepped down.

With all of the problems that seem to be happening I thought that it would be a good idea to become like most dedicated relief societists and get myself a food storage goin on just incase a disaster strikes.

The recent earthquake near Wells, Nevada helped me to realize just how important it should be to have a back up plan just incase tradgedy strikes. Things seem to happen when we're least suspecting them, so it's important to become like the boyscouts that we once were and hold true to our motto..."Be Prepared".

It is interesting to me to think about how prepared most young men once were. Trained to become the future leaders of America. It was drilled into the minds of every young scout to be prepared.

Thinking about the earthquake and remembering the days when i was a Tenderfoot I decided to come up with a game plan of my own. If disaster randomly strikes and those friends of mine out there reading this are not prepared, then have no fear... Justin is here.

My car has become my preparation kit. Not only do I now have enough grub in my glove compartment to feed all of the fat little neighborhood kids, but I also have a GPS should one of the chubby kids get lost on the way to "candy dealer" Justin's house. If compasses go down and everybody forgets the mad skills learned in the scouting program,be not afraid. I have other remedies to.

Aside from the GPS, other necesities on hand (but not pictured) are a first aid kit, picnic blanket, football, rollerblades, frisbee, baseball equipment, and sometimes RCA airplanes stored safely in the trunk of my car. So if disaster strikes and you're unprepared, don't say that i didn't warn you. Or if you're thinking about jumping me.... FORGET IT!

Mediation

So I really couldn't think up anything interesting enough to write about this week, so I thought I would write about some things that I do almost every week as a service to the community, and as a requirement for school..
My mediation and negotiation class requires that I come up with 12 hours of mediation. UVSC has a program set up with Provo and Alpine school districts that gives UVSC students a chance to mediate with students who are getting bad attendance in school, or are getting bad grades.
I went to Independence High school this evening, and mediated with 3 students and their moms or dads. Two of them were Hispanic, so it was a mediation in Spanish. It seems that all high school students these days have some problems with going to class. I'm not sure what's going on, but none of these students really have a desire to goto class. It's sad to see, but to take neutral ground on the situation and to get ideas rolling, I usually ask the student what kinds of goals they have, and where they see themselves in the future. They all want to graduate, so why don't they think going to class is important?
I think meeting with college students that made it to where they are is somewhat inspiring for these not so motivated high school students. It's a time in their lives that they are making the transition to becoming a responsible adult. I'm glad I can lend a hand, and try to help these students to set goals for the success of their future.

An end to america's hope

I just wanted to let others know how dissapointed i am now that Mitt Romney is no longer running for president. I always thought from the get go that there would be no way that Mitt, a mormon, would be able to pull it off. There's just too many Anti-mormon people out there that will continue to persecute the good so that the bad will prevail. It seems like this sort of thing happens often... The good end up getting the short straw, and the bad get away undetected.

It's going to be a day similiar to going to the dentist to have my wisdom teeth removed to get me to want to vote in the next presidential elections. I won't want to vote if my only options are a republican who looks like the Crypt Keeper from the Tales of the Crypt, and a not so promising other two who seem to be power hungry without the needed skills.

Well needless to say, maybe now is a great time to prepare for the worst... Maybe i'll take President Hinkley's advice and start working on my food storage. Or maybe I should start digging a bomb shelter under my bedroom. Hopefully my the neighbors below don't mind a little company.

I suppose i will keep going to school and try my best to become as educated as i possibly can, so that way i'm better prepared for what the future dishes out to me.... Now if only i can get my homework done, and get my assingments in on time............................
