Dear class, I hope everyone enjoyed our speaker on Wednesday, I think he has a really amazing story. It is amazing how people are placed into our lives and inspire us to do greater things. I think that the biggest issue in this world is how money driven people are. Materialistic things drive people against one another, after all, it is a fight to see who can reach the top, who can live the American dream, and if a friend is in the way, then you have to take them out in order to get to the top. There is a loss of community because of money hungry people, there is such a focus on money that people forget how to really live, how to appreciate the PEOPLE around them. That, should be our first step to bettering ourselves, to finally understand that the material things do not really matter, and as soon as we can do that, I think we will feel a closer connection to the life around us.

I wonder if this power and money is one of the many reasons our health care system is so screwed up. I want to be a doctor to help people...
