Honors Article

In this article it explains the story about a man that is going through early on set Alzheimer's. Bob Balfour was a construction manager and and he started to get early on set Alzheimer's symptoms like doing calculations wrong, eventually was fired from his job. I think the scary part of all this is that in the article it explains how this is just like a cycle. Bob's mom had it, hes brother inherit it, and that his son may have a fifty to fifty chance that could inherit it too.

Alzheimer is a topic that hits close to home. My Grandma died at age 50 from it my other grandmas mom also died from it, and my aunt was diagnose with it not long ago. So I'm trying to get inform as much. What I like about article is that it tells you the necessary information, like the signs and possible causes of it. Early-onset Alzheimer is when the symptoms start to happen before the age of 65. My grandma and my aunt both were diagnose around the age of 40 so that's why I'm leaning towards early onset Alzheimer.

photosynthesis matters to me..

Photosynthesis matters to me because without the plants wouldn't exist, and we need the plants if not we die.

I like this video because it really talks and comments on a lot of the topics we talked in class. Other videos i saw were aither really short or really really long, but i think this video is kind of long but it has all the information in a non-boring animation.

Phenomenon

Something I been curious about is why all or most penguins are black and white, who came out with those colors or why those colors? Is it so they blend can blend with the snow. I love penguins, I think their the most beautiful animals, when they walk they look so innocent. When at I see penguins I see beautiful flightless birds, they look beautiful with their black and white fur, but they all look the same. They have white and black spots or patterns all over their bodies. What if their black or pink or red?
