The Parable “Unfaithful Servant” is a perfect example of how we tend to take advantage of other for our selfishness. This parable showed how the servant betrayed the confidence that his master deposit on him. The servant had a great place for himself, even when it wasn’t his; but knowing that there wasn’t going to be nobody telling him what to do make him lose control. Now that he was in charge of the house it made think that he could do whatever he wanted with the house. However, at the end all he did was to destroy the place that was giving to him to take care of.
This is exactly what happens in our planet. We were given this unbelievable world to enjoy and take care of. There is a variety of amazing things out there that we have no idea of. This planet is full of greatness that helps us, but we are taking too much of it. We consider humans as the smartest specie than the others in this planet. Our suppose intelligence has only cause us to damage our home. We use every part of this planet to make our lives easier, but we do not realize that some of the things that we have taken cannot be replaced.
Fortunately, there are some people out there that are following the duty of protecting our house. They understand how unique and important this planet is. These people try doing their best to make others self conscious of what is happing. However, they are out numbered by people like me that know what is happening but we do not do anything to fix it.
I think we need to face something really hard and cruel in order to understand how serious this is, in order to take some action. Just like the servant learned his lesson the hard way. He end up losing a place where to stay and most important his master’s confidence. This is exactly how we are going to end, if we do not take our duty seriously of protecting our house.

*An Inconvenient Truth*
Unfortunately, I am not one of those people who know what to dedicate their life to. It makes me feel out of space when I heard my friends saying I want to become a doctor, architect, foreign sciences, etc… However, I have always wanted to pick a career that will be able to help people, animals and most of all that is involved with art. This is why I decided to pick Liberal Arts Social Sciences and Humanities as my major. These two years at LaGuardia Community College have helped me to learn and experience a little bit of everything.
Now that I have a more sense of what I want to do, I decided to follow Graphic Design. I picked this major because it is involved with art and I can use it to help people and animals all over the world. Graphic Design is used in advertisements which people are contact with 24/7. In order to accomplish this goal I am planning on attending one of the best schools, which is Fashion Institute of Technology. I am going to get a high-quality background for my education. In addition, I want to be surrounded by people who are interest in art the same way as me. I want to be able to express the way I feel and think through art. I know that Graphic Design is mostly used for advertisement, but it requires a lot of you to success.
I want to become an amazing Graphic Designer. After achieving this goal, I do not only wanted to use it for my personal interests, but I also I want to use it to help others. I want to use Graphic Design to educate people that are being brainwash by the entertainment. In addition, I want to be able to spread the needs of people or animals that are forgotten in our planet. There are many things out there that we do not have ideas that are happening and somehow we are responsible. Also, I want to express all the wonderful things that are in nature. I want to show people who have never left the city to see all the amazing things that they are missing. It is a way of involving them with our environment. Demonstrating them what we are destroying for our selfishness.

My leisure time...
Throughout time man has invented different ways to keep ourselves entertain. Technology is the main invention humans have invented. Technology is something that has become so essential in our lives. People have use technology to build a variety of objects that we use daily. Technology has become beneficial and not for us. We have being able to create wonderful things that each day help to save thousands of lives. Inventions that help each day to improve our agriculture, education, housing, communication and others. But at the same time, we use technology to create objects that keep us away from our real life. The majority of these inventions are design to make us feel that our actions depend on them.
T.V. is indispensable for our daily routines. TV’s main purpose is to connect us and maintain us aware of the things that are happening around us. However, at the same time it is design to brainwash us. Making us believe that each new product is going to make our lives easier. However, they do not spend time showing what is happening to our environment in order to build a new computer or iPod. I do not spend a lot of time watching TV. I spend around 25 hours per week. However, the majority of these hours I am not fully paying attention to it.
Another way of maintaining ourselves busy is by shopping. Each season new clothing designs come out for us to buy and feel cool. Shopping is really important for us because it differentiate us from each other. We spend time shopping for different reasons. We go out shopping with our family and friends to spend some time together. But at the end it does not turn out this way because each one is concentrated on looking at each piece of fabric. Each one of us, are in our own world thinking how we would look, but we do not stop and thinking how or what happened for these cloths to be make.
We do not realize that we are destroying our environment, but that there are people who are getting hurt or exploited. The factories that have being moved to other countries looking for lower hand labor. I spend around 3 to 4 hours shopping. However, the majority of time I just go to look what is new because I never find what I am looking for.
Finally, one of the most helpful ways of communication is the Internet. The Internet has become so essential for many people, including myself. The Internet does not only serve as a way of connection around the world, but it also helps us to learn new things that we do not about our surroundings. It also benefits people with disabilities to learn. It helps programmers and designers to make their work easier and to expand it.
As a future graphic design I spend around 26 hours per week surfing the web. I spend a lot of time in the web because I am learning about new design programs. In addition, I need photographs and samples to inspire myself. But at the other hand it takes a lot of my time from doing other activities.
During my leisure time the activities that bring me joy are reading, drawing, painting, listing to music, but most of all embroidering. I enjoy all these activities because they help me relax and to keep my mind away from society.

Environment........
Today, I did many different things that affect the environment. One of the things I did was to brush my teeth. This affects the environment because I let the water run even when I am not using it. I not consider with the amount that of water I waste. Another thing that I did today that affects the environment is recycling. Since, I leave in a building we do not have to recycle. Therefore, at home I put all the food, with bags and bottles together. I really do not do much to care for the environment. However, when I am on the streets I tend to throw the garbage in its corresponding place. In my high school I help to turn a garbage dump into a beautiful garden. This garden is located behind the C-building. This gives a good impression to people. I am concern that throughout time our environment is going to become worse than what it is now. This changes are going to change our way of living.
