First of many blogs

Hello,

My name is Marc Friedman and I am a sophomore in high school. I’ve learned a lot so far in high school, things about the world as well as myself. Through this I have developed some core values, two of those being commitment and awareness. In this blog I plan to commit to spreading awareness to any who may encounter these articles in any way I can. This will be the first of many articles in my blog where I will summarize and take stances on current events, issues, or just interesting things that take place whenever. My first topic on this blog will just be about me as a person and a little more into why I am doing this.

Why I do this:

Personally I try to stay as informed on current events as I can, I feel like being aware of the world around is a vital part of growing as a person whether it’s understanding what someone’s going to or just being able to give your take on something. On top of this it’s hard to digest what some news anchors tell you, I have subscriptions to tons of different news and the stories can get wordy and confusing. I want this blog to be a way to break these stories down for anyone who is interested in reading. 

 While I hope everyone can benefit from this blog I would be lying if I didn’t say I have a target in mind. In this blog I will mainly be talking about things that interest me as a person, such as the economy (specifically the debt crisis), technology, schools, and stories that I feel people deserve to know regardless of their topic. Of course as time goes on if any of you want to contact me to write about a specific topic, I’m all ears. 

What I want to get out of this:

In order to make these blogs I’ll have to stay more connected to worldly events, this is something that I hope can give me a different perspective on life. But really I think this will give me a good commitment and a sense of urgency to give the news that you guys, the readers, deserve. As I stated before, two big values I have are commitment and spreading awareness. A blog requires both these things in order to be of any use, with time I think this will grow into something that people can use, until then stick around until next week!
