Apollo 13 #1
On April 11, 1970 the third space mission was scheduled to land on the moon. James Lovell, John Swigert, and Fred Haise were the passengers on board. That day the space-shuttle's second oxygen tank exploded, and cause issues with the other tanks. Instead of landing on the moon, they had to circle it without landing. They ended up successfully landing in the ocean with all the passengers surviving. -
Apollo 13 #2
This event was important, because it showed the world how the effort of thousands of people working together to return the people on board safely. It also helped NASA work on preventing other accidents.
This event helped shape the future by making sure that shuttles travel safely into space. It showed that if something does go wrong we can bring people back safely. It also helps with building the right materials to keep expanding farther into space. -
Apollo 13 #3
I would have liked to been there, because it would of been cool and nerve-racking to see how the people in NASA worked together to save them. When they returned safely, it gave people hope that if they were every in that situation they could be brought back unharmed. I wouldn't have changed anything, because everyone got to come back to earth without anything happening to them. -
ERA #3
I would liked to be there, because this was an important time for women. It made us one step closure toward all of women's equal rights. It was a major goal that was accomplished. I wouldn't change anything, because everyone should be treated equally. -
ERA #1
March 22, 1972 was an important day in history for women in America. Congress approved the Equal Rights Amendment. This stated that the "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." Phyllis Schlafly was one of the many influential women in the passing of the ERA.
This ERA amendment was important, because it started a lot for woman. It gave women more confidence and legal protection. -
ERA #2
Many more people would want to live in the United States, because their country didn't offer something like the ERA. By giving women this amendment it just made the United States more respectable, and a better place to live.
This helped shape the future, because in 1972 the ERA was passed and help pass more equal right bills. It made woman closer to being equal with men. -
Ronald Reagan Is Elected #1
Ronald Reagan was sworn into office on January 20, 1981. "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem." Reagan was a popular actor and was California's governor, before being elected President. The American citizens chose him, because they believed that he would help the economy get back on track.
Reagan being elected President was really important, because he accomplished many things. -
Ronald Reagan Is Elected #2
He cut taxes, Signed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which compensated victims of the Japanese-American internment during World War II, increased defense spending, and negotiated a nuclear arms reduction agreement with the Soviets. Ronald Reagan helped the United States get back on track, and improved our future. By accomplishing all his goals many Americans were happy with choosing him to b our President.
. -
Ronald Reagan Is Elected #3
Reagan helped shape our future I many ways. For example, he worked on ending the Cold War. It ended 2 years after he left the office, but while he was in office he worked to end it, and as he predicted, it did. He also appointed Sandra Day O'Connor as the first woman on the U.S Supreme Court.
I wouldn't have really wanted to be at the event, when he got elected, because, I still get to see what Presidents accomplish in office. I wouldn't of changed anything, because he was a good President. -
Finding the Titanic #1
On September 1, 1985 Robert D. Ballard was the head of the expedition that was looking for the Titanic. His goal in life was too find the Titanic, but he was looking for it during the Cold War which made it difficult.They found it 400 miles East of Newfoudland in North America. It was 2 miles under the ocean. They were looking for it, because many people had died in it and they wanted to know what exactly happened to tell the families. -
Finding the Titanic #2
It had been nearly a century from when it crashed to when they found it.
This event was unique, because so many people all around the world were affected by this. People from North and South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa died. All these continents had to come together to find the missing ship. When this event happened everyone around the world was so shocked, and didn’t even know what to think. -
Finding The Titanic #3
This helped shape the future, because in 1913 they had the first Safety of LIfe at Sea Convention(SOLAS). The SOLAS still has a convention every year to help prevent if something like another Titanic wreck would happen, people would know how to keep themselves safe. -
Finding The Titanic #4
I would have liked to been on the boat when they found the Titanic, because you would of been able to find all the leftover “treasure.” Also people had been looking for the Titanic for a very long time. So, if you were able to say that you were on the ship that found it, it would be pretty cool. -
Cold War Ends #1
The Cold War didn't really have a starting date. The War just kept building up over time. The United States was fighting with the Soviet Union against the Axis power. The relationship between the two was not a very good one. It was super tense. We couldn't agree on anything, which drug out the War. President Nixon and Ronald Reagan were an important part in the Col War. -
Cold War Ends #3
This help save people's lives because, nuclear weapons can have a terrible outcome.
You can't really be at the Cold War because, it lasted over 40 years. I wouldn't want of been alive during this time because, I would be scared and feel threatened by the Soviets. -
Cold War Ends #2
This War was significant because, it started major conflicts. Conflicts aren't a good thing but, they showed everyone the real problems. President Nixon encouraged the United Nations to recognize communism. American's feared the Soviet Union, and when we started having conflicts it worried them.
The Cold War helped shape the future because, we signed the SALT 1. This stated that we would end using nuclear weapons from both sides. -
O.J Simpson Murder Trial #1
The year 1995 is a year many people will not forget. O.J Simpson, a previous NFL player, was suspected to the killer of his estranged wife, Nicole Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. Their bodies were found outside Nicole's house. There was a leftover glove, and shoe print at the crime scene. The shoe print matched O.J's. The glove had his DNA and, Nicole's blood.
This event was an important event because, everyone was watching it. O.J. didn't have an alibi. -
O.J. Simpson Murder Trial #2
The trial lasted 252 days, and he was acquitted of those two murders.
This event was a world-watched event. This event was getting everyone around the world involved. O.J. was in a dramatic car chase, with a gun at his head. The world stood still and watched as it happened because, it was on every TV channel. African American's believed that he wasn't guilty as most white Americans thought he was. -
O.J. Simpson Murder Trial #3
I would have liked to have been at this event. I would have liked to be in the courtroom listening to all the evidence and facts. I personally believe he was guilty, but that's just my opinion. I would of changed the outcome by proving that he was guilty because, the families of Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman need there justice. -
Hurricane Katrina #1
The morning of August 29, 2005 was a morning that many people along the Gulf Coast will never forget. At 6:10 a.m. Hurricane Katrina hit. There was 100-140 MPH wind, and it was rated a category 3 rating. People in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama were the most affected by Katrina.
People along the Gulf Coast didn't know what to think. They were overwhelmed, scared, and lost. President George W. Bush didn't realize how terrible this was. -
Hurricane Katrina #2
It took 3 days for the FEMA, Federal Emergancy Management Agency, to be sent it. Everyone was hungry, and there was nowhere anywhere close to get anything. People called it a "total disaster zone." This effected thousands of peoples lives for years. They had to clean up everything and start all over. This event helped the future because, after Katrina the FEMA was organized so that when the next hurricane happened they could react quicker. -
Hurricane Katrina #3
People living in the Gulf made emergency plans and scientist have came with better ways to detect the formation of hurricanes.
I would not have liked to have been there! Hurricane Katrina killed around 2000 people died in it. The only way I would have liked to change it was by giving people a better warning. -
Snapchat #1
Evan Spiegel is a very important guy in many teenagers life. He is the creator of Snapchat. Over 90% of teenagers that have an electronic device use Snapchat. Spiegel has always been interested in computers. He created an app called "Picaboo." He dropped out of college at 23 years old and created Snapchat.
Spiegel has always wanted to talk to people from ll over the world, and Snapchat allows you to that. Snapchat lets you communicate through pictures, text message, and by face. -
Snapchat #2
Snapchat also allows you to see people's inside life by posting things on your Story.
I don't really think Snapchat has "changed" the future. It just helps connect people. I talk to people everyday on Snapchat from different towns. I even talk to people from different states. It is interesting to see what other people's lives are like.
I wouldn't have really wanted to attend this event because, I am glad that I can just use it and not have to worry about the technological side of it. -
Snapchat #3
There isn't really anything I would change on Snapchat because, Snapchat has everything that I want on it. -
Changing the World
When I graduate high school that is when I want to start changing the world. I want to raise money for families with kids that have cancer. I will start the organization around the area where I'm living. I hope it will gain attention and people will start other fundraising groups for kids. I think changing the world, in this way, is important, because children are fighting for their lives and parents can't afford to pay all their medical bills. This is one way I hope to change the world.
