Project Introduction
Hi! My name is Paula and I'm 12 years old. I am also a Cancer and I am in seventh grade study at Colegio Jorge Washington in Cartagena, Colombia. During the weekends or Fridays I go with my friends and hang out in El Corral, McDonald's, Crepes and Waffles, and other places like that. My school starts at 7:00 AM and ends at 2:30 PM. Mr. Hide’s classes are Social Studies and English. My favorite thing to do in my free time is chatting in MSN, hanging out with my friends and watching TV. I also go to basketball practices after school with my friends and I play. The three issues I’m interested in are global warming, poverty, and ocean pollution.
My life in Cartagena is very interesting. Since we are a coastal city, the climate is usually very hot and humid. We don't have any seasons either. There is many rain in some months and others not. That makes the city warm most of the year. Also, Cartagena is pretty much flat, so there aren't many mountains or cold places with snow.
I'm interested in making my project about global warming. I think this is a very serious issue that affects us because in some years, the climate will increase a lot and the poles will melt much more which could cause us very serious problems. I am interested in this because it is a problem that will affect us in our future and we need to work hard to solve it. That is why global warming concerns me a lot.
Another issue that I am interested in is drugs and alcohol. Many teens like our age drink alcohol and smoke because of peer pressure. That means that your friends pressure you to try out alcohol saying you'll look cooler and things like that. I think this is a big mistake and people should learn to say no. Also alcohol, drugs, and smoking damage your health seriously. For example, smoking can hurt your lungs and drugs are very bad and can get your seriously addicted.
The last issue that interests me is ocean pollution Sometimes there are oil spills in the sea and they affect the beach and the sea environment a lot. Many fishes get killed and the sea gets very badly contaminated. Some people also throw the trash to the sea when they don’t find a trash can and it happens a lot. There is a lot of trash and wastes in the Cartagena Bay so almost no one takes a bath in there.
Those are the three issues I’m interested in making my project about. They affect us a lot and will be very bad in the future if they aren’t solved. Also some of those problems are here, in Cartagena so I’d like to know more about them.

Hi Paula,
I would first like to say that the three issues that you are concered of are affecting the earth drasticly. Though it may not seem appealing at first, it is slowly rising in numbers.
Also, we are very lucky that we get to use technology when others that are living just a few kilometers away have never seen a computer in their life before. I think it is a serious issue and i would want to spread technology to the world.
