Journal 32

Revolutionize. I like that world. It seems really futuristic and whenever i hear it i think of new and better things. How to revolutionize the way people think or do things? That's a tricky one. Personaly, it makes me feel good, especially if someone has been doing something 'the hard way' or has struggled with getting a tast done efficiantly. You just can't beat the feeling you get when you tell someone "here, try it THIS way," and then they do and their eyes light up and they say "i never thought of doing it this way!" or "i never knew!". It's just really great. Helping and teaching others better methods of getting things done is rewarding because you know you are impacting their life and possibly making it better. For example, if a student has only been taught one way to do math, and then a new teacher comes in and says "heres and easier way to do that," it changes everything for the student. They might understand it better, and save time. They might even grasp the concept extremely well and end up being really good at it! I think that teaching is the same thing as revolutionizing, but only if the teacher is teaching the student something new and better. I've learned lots of things from teachers that have made my life easier. Learning different ways to do math equations from Mr. Brian is an example. Or when Miss. Radliff taught my freshman history class about livebinders( a program on the internet that allows you to store websites for research projects). Livebinders, for example, is something i STILL use today and my researching has gotten SO MUCH better. But then, last year Mr. langley taught my speech class about and even BETTER website called Digo that you can use on google chrome. It does even more and again 'upped' the way that i research. Before any of these programs i used to write the websites down by hand and had to always go back to them. Revolutionizing technology is probably the most important way to revolutionize anything.
