From funding new inventions to movies to new business, crowdsourcing covers it all. This up and coming form of fundraising is rapidly growing. The days of going around town asking for donations are long gone and in it’s place is the crowdfunding. Crowdfunding allows for individuals with an idea to reach out to the millions of possible funders over the internet.

Crowdsourcing is arguably the best way to reach out to potential business partners and customers when trying to launch or expand an idea or product. One reason that support this claim is that when other see the idea some entrepreneurs will invest start up money. Another reason is that customers can give feedback on the product to make it strive. One might say that crowdsourcing is risky as people may imitate your product.

     I was sitting on the train on my way home when I saw Bill. Bill always flaunted his fit physique like he was better than everybody else, but to me it wasn't that impressive. I mean anybody can get in shape if they really wanted to, a few push-ups and crunches here and there; eating a salad every now and then it's not that hard. I don't even know why he cares about his stupid fitness so much since he's only in high school. In the middle of my rant about Bill and his ridiculous love of fitness, the train violently came to sudden stop.

Two guns for biceps and abs of steel; I was yet again in someone else's shoes. I dug my hands through the large pockets of the gray sweatpants I had on and grabbed the iPhone. Right before I turned it on, I saw Bill's reflection on the black 3.5 inch screen. This reflection of Bill conveyed the deepest sense of somberness I've ever seen. The train that Bill had been waiting for pulls into the station, and he takes a vacant window seat. Stop by stop, Bill sat in loneliness as people wholeheartedly avoided sitting next to him and his melancholy soul. This didn't bother him; for he was accustomed to being alone. However as a group of jocks entered the train with bad intentions, Bill began to feel uneasy. The malicious clique zeroed in on their target; an obese boy who ironically enough was eating a Twinkie. They started rolling insults at the defenseless kid and Bill became infuriated...

The train began to move again, and as I sat down I realized that I was smaller now. I wasn't wearing worn out running shoes, large sweatpants, or any fitted shirts; I was back inside of my own body and I couldn't be happier. I know my life isn't perfect, but after seeing some of the unforgettably life-scarring events of my peers; I'm more than okay with being April Gray.

This is the first blog post of the semester and the last blog post of the month. In this post I will talk about how my year has been going so far. This year I have eaten healthier than I did last year, and I am also taking my exercising more seriously than I have in previous years. This summer I plan on getting a summer job so that I have something to do over the summer break instead of just watch tv and eat all day. I already applied to a few places and I'm currently waiting for them to contact me.

Weekly Blog Post: There's No Place Like Home pt.1

English II
Period: 8th
There’s no place like home
It was a cold fall night, and the Thompkins family just moved into their new dream house. This house was a step up from the rat hole they previously lived in. This house was in amazing neighborhood called Sunset valley, where the sun always shined and the grass was always green.
¨hey rob can you help me out with this box?” asked Diane Thompkins, the mother of the Thompkins household, as she struggled with a box nearly as big as her.
“Sure, hon’ just gimme a sec. I have to finish setting up this house phone over here.” Responded rob Thompkins, the father of the family, while he fiddled with phone cables coming out of the wall.

Today is Thursday, October 31st also known as Halloween. People dress up as there favorite characters or role models to celebrate this holiday. Most importantly people give each other pieces of candy. Some people go around collecting candy from house to house like bill collectors. The kids especially like going from house to house and yelling "trick or treat" when the occupant of the home opens the door with a big bowl of candy. This year for Halloween I dressed up as "that guy from that movie". I didn't go trick or treating, but I still got lots of candy.

Today is Sunday and I am writing my weekly blog post. This weeks blog post is going to be about blogging. I haven't posted any blogs recently but I am doing one this week. I hope that this blog post will get me the points for posting my weekly blog. I am posting these weekly blogs for my English teacher Mr. Rehak. He is my eight period teacher, and I think that his class is really fun and entertaining, all while being educational. Usually I don't like writing, but with Mr. Rehak writing doesn't feel like a chore. I am looking forward to a good year in English class.
