I think the President of the United States is making a point to us as students to stay in school, and be the best we can be while we're in school. Quote from President Obama: "The possibilities of building new friendships and strengthening old ones, of joining a school club, or trying out for a team. The possibilities of growing into a better student and a better person and making not just your family proud but making yourself proud." This quote is interpreting that he wants the students of America to follow the right path and do our best any and everything they can in this world because nothing is as easy as it may look.

Another quote from President Obama: "But I came to Masterman to tell all of you what I think you’re hearing from your principal and your superintendent, and from your parents and your teachers: Nobody gets to write your destiny but you. Your future is in your hands. Your life is what you make of it. And nothing -- absolutely nothing -- is beyond your reach, so long as you’re willing to dream big, so long as you’re willing to work hard. So long as you’re willing to stay focused on your education, there is not a single thing that any of you cannot accomplish, not a single thing." This quote from Obama is interpreting that he wants us as students to believe that we have our own choice to make; that we have our own destiny that we must fulfill. And in order to do that, we must accomplish a lot in high school and just get it out the way, and then we'll look back and be proud of what we've accomplished at the time, because we'll be done with the basics of life.

A quote also from President Obama: "Now, that’s what we have to do for you. That’s our responsibility. That’s our job. But you’ve got a job, too. You’ve got to show up to school on time. You’ve got to pay attention in your class. You’ve got to do your homework. You’ve got to study for exams. You’ve got to stay out of trouble. You’ve got to instill a sense of excellence in everything that you do. That kind of discipline, that kind of drive, that kind of hard work, is absolutely essential for success." This quote is interpreting that Obama wants us to have responsibilities in this country, this world, rather. He wants us to be able to achieve possibly anything and he also wants us to believe that anything is virtually possible is we put our minds to it. Obama wants us to be able to help out this country as much as possible and we got to do that because it's even been stated by President Obama: "So a lot of you as a consequence, because we’re going through a tough time a country, are having to act a lot older than you are." In this quote, I want to particularly pinpoint this fact he said that we're going through a tough time. The economy is crashed, the country owes $13trillion in national debt, and we created a war for natural resources. But, the main point to me pinpointing that part of his quote is that we must help this country a much as we can in order to survive because that is what can definitely try to help us in this country, or in this world, rather.

Me, as a student, will accomplish as much as I can before I leave high school. I must show that I, too, can be successful in the future of this country because this country needs this type of discipline in order to keep it from future wars or national conflicts. I will make sure I become as great as I can be. So, after I finish high school, I will lead/live the life of what either I know of or what Barack Obama sets as an accomplishment. I don't live under expectations, but I listen and I learn, then I'll get my future from there. The previous quotes from Obama sets certain goals for me to achieve, but it wouldn't be difficult because I'm already half-way through it.


The exploration and research I have done on cellphone radiation was very interesting and surprising. I have learned the benefits and dangers of working with a cellphone. Cellphone may possibly be dangerous, harmless, and helpful, all at the same time. Before this research, I never knew that cellphones caused brain damage. Also, I never knew that cellphones could help prevent Alzheimer's disease. All of this information I had retrieved to get the research done, had really paid off because it helped me understand my current events and my surroundings in this world. Cellphones are dangerous because of the radiation coming to and from the phone for connections to other people to be made. Cellphones are useful because it can connect from one person to another, regardless of the long distance or how far they are. And also, cellphones help prevent Alzheimer's disease, which is a disease where the person may lose memory rapidly. The information I have used was from "Google." I read the articles, which were relevant, and took notes on what was really interesting. I had taken part of articles, and paraphrased it by adding a little bit of my opinion into it.

The effect of learning was
