I wanted to say thanks to Phon for hookin up the links on our page. I add the foundation's website that I am apart of, The Matt Garcia Foundation. Go check it out and please get involved. It doesnt have to be with this foundation but I feel that everyone should be involved in some kind on community service. You dont think that you can make a difference but the little things count. You can help change one kids life, clean up a bad neighborhood (literally), or just be there for someone who needs help. And I know we all have busy lives but if you can sacrifice 5-8 hours a month and make a huge difference!
I also wanted to give a shout out to Jiawei for his Food Challenge post. I totally agree with him on the whole situation. Thats all I have to really say about that.
Now many of you dont know I am involved in some local politics in Fairfield. There have been some things that have happened over the past couple of months that I dont agree with. I do not believe in biasing, personal agendas, or voting on things for personal gain or in spite of a person/group. I can understand not liking a person or group if thats the decision you want to make in life. But when you are in a position on power and your opinion can hurt a certain person or group you have to remove all biases. That is the problem with today's politics, people have their own personal agendas and make decisions based on these agendas. And their decisions can really affect people is the long run. They know what the right decision is to make but make the wrong one on purpose for their own personal gain or in spite of a person/group. We have to become more conscious of this as a society as to make sure we, the people, do not vote these people into power. Now some people are appointed positions of power and we can not do much about it, but once they use there power in the wrong ways and are making terrible biased decisions those individuals have to be put in check. I guess I am just venting a little bit, but I would hope that people would have better morals then that.
Lastly, I want to address all those that feel our group is too "cocky". I know we do a good job of letting everyone know we are the best group but with a name like 210's Finest you have to be a little cocky. We all decided that this would be our persona in class, just to mix things up and make it interesting. So please do not get offended by how we do things. We like everyone in the class, and personally this is my favorite class of the semester. I like what everyone brings to the plate, and this is the main reason I stayed in this class. If anyone has been hurt or offend by us then I would like to apologize but remember this is who we are. We are going to be loud and in your face. We want all of you to remember who 210's Finest was!
