For my first Genius Hour Project, I researched and presented on: unemployment and economic inequality in South Africa. And what did I learn from it? A lot, it gave me a better understanding of economy in general, but also South Africa’s economic path. I learned that South Africa has a lot of hope, but now the wrong path is being taken. Did it help me grow as a person? I became more aware of my homecountry, and how I can contribute to make it grow. I found out that to make it grow, I’ll have to do good at school, because education is the key to success, and after I can help South Africa move forward. Another question is what could my learning about this project contribute to the world. It gives hope to the world, because it shows that not only adults are interested in the economy, but kids too. That kids are also interested in their future, and are ready to contribute to make the world a better place. The solutions I found could help South Africa grow. The solutions were mostly based on improving education, and investor trust in the country. Also increasing the popularity of “Proudly South African” goods. The last question is: How will my next genius hour project help the world? It will inspire the world, because it will be about inspiration, or it will just be funny if i choose to do comedy.

Jason was admiring this view from the table mountain. He was thinking about how life was beautiful, and how he could become  professional soccer player, or a famous diver, just like Neymar. But out of nowhere, a women came into this story and tried to push Jason(just to create a conflict). Jason lost his balance and fell. Now it’s your turn to provide an ending to Jason’s story and life.

So I’m back again, it’s the first time I blogged two days in row. However, I had to for homework. So today, I commented quality comments on other blogs, for the 2016 student blogging challenge. The first post I commented on was in Josh’s blog I said: “Hey, I love your blog’s theme.. It’s really artsy! And I agree with you, HS is confusing and teachers aren’t all the same. Nice post!” . The link to that is : http://joshrh19.edublogs.org/2016/10/11/so-far-so-good/#comment-10

The second post I commented is in Trent’s Blog I said: “Hey, this post is interesting. I never knew Trump’s wall would look like Rome’s one. This is a revelation.” http://trentc21.edublogs.org/2016/10/06/roman-city-planning-and-trumps-wall/comment-page-1/#comment-3

The third post I commented on was in Zoumana Coulibaly’s blog: “I agree roshes are artsy. They’re so comfortable as well. I really like your blog theme by the way. ” http://zoumanaisd20.edublogs.org/2016/01/14/the-roshe-runs/#comments

The last post I commented on was in Ben’s blog: “Hey, your post is really poetic. I like it, I feel like I’m in the moment, trying to surf those waves. Well done!” https://9benjamin.edublogs.org/2016/05/24/b-i-g-s-w-e-l-l/#comment-15
