Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I agree with this newspaper clipping because you have to work hard for the things you want. They are not just going to be handed to you on a silver platter. Kids or teenagers these days just expect the best of the best to just be given to them, or to be allowed to do whatever they want. They need to learn that with hard work and dedication you can earn the things that they want, such as hanging out with friend and having a cellphone. Teenagers believe they deserve to have everything when majority of them do nothing to earn it. They are wasting their time, talent, and their intelligence by just having things given to them without working for them.

After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."

In his acceptance speech i took away that power is knowledge and to always continue to search for what will make you more successful in this world. Not only just living in it, but contributing to it and making the world a better place for everyone. Ashton's quote is very inspiring to a lot of people because just knowing that you can be the start of change just by your knowledge is empowering. It challenges people not to settle for mediocre and strive for excellence.
