The Really Long Class

When the bell rang for class to get started today, we talked about how class went on Friday without Mr. Schick there.  Then only for five minutes (A timer was set) we would talk about the blogs, why were people not blogging?  Every week the ratio has gone down and he made it clear that we need, to do them, and it is an easy way to get points.  Then we went on to watch the movie.  From what we watched today was that all of the lost boys me up at a reunion, but John was getting mad at some of them because they weren't sending money and helping their people back in Ethiopia.  Also, that they were dressing like "Americans" and "Gangsta's"  and just too worried about cars and those sorts of things.  (The Dinka tribe is where they were all from.  Very tall people.)  John met up with his mother and sister and in the airport they started crying.  His mom was on the ground crying, then doing this loud scream type thing to express he joy, also, throughout the airport she was dancing.  Panther is going to Africa to build a school in Sudan since he has his high school diploma and his associates degree.  Also, he went mainly to marry the woman he loves, so he did.  John is helping his family and people constantly even while he wants to open a medical clinic.  John has his bachelor's degree at Syracuse, and is the president of the Lost Boys Foundation.  Sadly, Daniel never found his family, but he joined the Job Corps and is supporting himself.  After the movie we had some discussion about what we as freshman students could do to help the Dinka tribe and people who are in those refugee camps.   Some things I have come up with are listed below:

  • Donate Money to the refugee camps or the foundation of Lost Boys
  • Send Supplies
  • Go to Sudan and Physically help out
  • Go to events and walks (if they are near)
  • Sponsor events
  • Get other people involved
  • Spread the Information!
