Hello everyone,
My name is Jenni Michua. Like most of the students here I'm a freshmen and is currently attending CSULA. Jennifer Hicks is my English Professor, and she's done a great job. Meaning that now I'm more concerned about the environment thanks to her. I can honestly say that before I didn't pay much attention to what's going on with our environment. But now thanks to all the assignments I've been given, it has brought me to a better understanding. Reading Parable of the Sower by Ocatvia Butler has definitely given me an image of how our what our environment might turn to in years from now. It shows that we can suffer from shortage of water and how it's really important.
5o years from now anything can happen! but of course we can all make a difference and make it look the way we want to look. How? Well, the first step is understanding the environmental issues and the importance of them. Why is it important? Hmm, well it's obvious that we all live here and anything that affects the environment affects us. Is that not a good enough reason?
For example, water is an important issue that's mentioned in Parable of the Sower. They don't have much and it relates to us because we as well don't have much water. We need water everyday period! We use it to brush our teeth , to cook, to shower, to water our plants, etc. Years from now we can suffer from even more shortage of water if we don't take care of it now. There's many ways to do it. We can turn of the faucet instead of letting the water run when it's not being used. As a result, that will help us save gallons of water. There's no doubt about that.
That being said, shows us that our environment looks the ways we treat it. Meaning that we have the chance to make a difference, it's all in our hands. 5o years from now sounds very far but that day will eventually come. So why not care for it now while we are in the moment.
I hope that we can all understand the importance of our environment and start treating it better. It's like a mirror it' reflects the way we look at it.
Thank you for your time !
