America and the Holocaust: Deceit and Indifference

My reaction to the video in class is heartache. So may good people died for no reason. I find it hard to discriminate agents someone because of their race, religious beliefs, and just who they are in general. How one person change the mind set of so many others to hate a group of people is amazing. I was shocked when they were talking about how our president did nothing to help prevent such a thing from happening. In grade school i remember learning about the Holocaust and what happened, but we were never taught about how our country didn't do anything to help when information was brought to there attention.

Topics of Interest

A couple of topics of interest to me are Photography and World Traveling.

Photography has always been something that I've always wanted to do but never really pursued. I like how you can take anything and capture it in an image and always look back at it. Some research questions I have for Photography would be: How do you know if your using the right camera for the right situation? How can I improve photo composition? What is the difference between the background and the foreground?

Wold Traveling is also a topic of interest to me. I have always wanted to travel and haven't been to very many places in my life. Some research questions I have for World Traveling would be: Where is the bast places to travel, and in what seasons? What are always key items to have when traveling?

About Me!





Hi, my name is Jennifer but I go by Jenny or as my friends call me Jen-a (you know like Forest Gump, I know how original right). Here is a little about me. I'm the second youngest of seven, and I love being in a big family. Its hard for us all to get together because we all live in different locations but when we are together we have soooooo much fun. For the past year i have been back and forth on what I want to do for my career until just recently I thought of transferring to Loma Linda University and taking the radiology technician program they have there.
I love outdoorsy things like camping, fishing, hiking, and rafting. A couple years ago my family went rafting on the American River, it was one of the most adventurous things i got to experience. I would most defiantly encourage anyone to do it at least once. Heres a link to one of the company's that offer the rafting trips, http://www.oars.com/california/. The pictures above are of half of our group that went rafting. The one on the bottom, I'm on the right side second one back, and in the picture on the top, I'm in the front on the left. You can see the top of my head under all the water. We had loads of fun and its. Until next time, talk to you later.
