  4. Cory Bonneau I always aspired to live a life different than most people. I find joy in the little things and make the most of what I have. To live the life I want to and not what others want of me. I keep my friends and family close because they are important to me. Like most people, I wish to live the American dream with a family, house, and a good job I enjoy. That being said, I wish not to remain in one place for too long. I want to see all the world has to offer. Lastly, I wish to be peaceful in all that I do. There is no need for anger.

  5. Landfills • The United States has the most pounds of trash per person, per day at 4.6 pounds • Aluminum can be recycled with no loss in quality(Americans use 80 billion cans per year) • We use 2.5 million plastic bottles per hour which will take thousands of years to break down • There is 251 million tons of trash in the United States

  6. Xavier Roden My friends and family are the most important thing to me in my life. I’ve never been the guy to have a bunch of friends but a tiny group of great friends. My education of course follows in importance. I don’t know exactly what I want to do with electrical engineering but I know it’s something I want to pursue because it’s a field that requires the things I believe are my strong suits, and my last thing of importance is football. I plan on trying out for the football team here next year and continuing my football career after I am medically able to.

  7. Why is technology charting an unstable course in society? • In just this country alone there are 232 million vehicles emitting greenhouse gases. 1/5 of the greenhouse emissions coming from this country are from cars. • The annual average of the amount of CO2emitted by a single car is 12,000 pounds.

  8. Carlos Echevarria • Being that I was born in Peru, I was raised by the cultures that were founded there, which gives me a whole different view on life. • At the age of five, my family moved to Virginia in order for my sister and I to get a better education. • I currently live in Ashburn which is located in northern Virginia. • I’m Catholic and I strongly believe in karma. • Being that I'm Hispanic, I'm really close with my family, but I also have a small group of friends that I have known for over 7 years that I'm really close too. • I currently work at Nike and have been working there for about a year. My previous employment was at Subway and I worked there for 14 months. • In my recreational time, I like to spend time with my friends and family. • I'm democratic and believe strongly that America shouldn’t intervene with other countries' affairs. • Education is the single most important aspect of my life
