Black Fraternal society's

What i know
I don't really have an understanding of the Mosaic Templars and what they did.

What i want to know about it
I want to know what did this group did and what were their goals and how they contributed to the African American culture.

What i learned
The Mosaic Templars educate people about African American life and business. They focuse on collecting, preserving, interpreting and celebrating African American history. the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center and Museum opened to the public as a state-of-the-art facility with more than 8,000 square feet of interesting exhibits.

What i still want to know
i still want to know why this group was not advertised as much. They are a very good source of information about African American Cultures.

Texting Article

I believe that texting can be dangerous to an individuals health. i am not big on texting i personally like to call and have a straight forward conversation with someone. On the other hand iv seen people who have a serious addiction to texting. People walking into stop signs and others is just the beginning. I have seen others get hurt like falling down stairs and getting hurt because they are to distracted from their surroundings. Therefore i agree with the doctors, when they stated that people should stick to one task at a time

EDUC Narrative

Christmas time

Every kid has a favorite holiday mines will always be Christmas even though I’m not a follower of Christianity this time of the year always brought joy to me. Everyone goes out shopping buying presents for loved ones, families plan trips to visit distant relatives and kids start decorating the house. Mothers all over the world are in the kitchen cooking everything a person could eat. To me this time of the year was a special time. The reason I say was a special time is because as a person grows reality smacks them in the face.

Christmas is still a joyful time for some but to me it’s like another day to me. When I was a kid it was the happiest days of my life but now it’s like “whatever.”I don’t know if it’s a phase all people go through but I really miss those days of unimaginable happiness and joy. Everything is still done the same way as it was done those few years ago, the only difference is that the joy that I once had is gone. I guess there’s no cure for that everyone just has to grow up at one point in their lives. One thing that keeps me happy for those days is to see all the little kids my cousins and two sisters having the time of their life opening and playing with their presents. The look on their eyes is simply amazing and deep inside a part of me remembers how I use to feel.
