 How would your life be different if you were born in a developing country in Africa? What is your responsibility as a Christian to people who happened to be born in an underdeveloped area of the world and who don’t have access to basic necessities of life? 

I was born in a developing country in Africa. I was born in Kenya, and brought up in Congo. I am not a Christian, I'm a Muslim. I don't know how you want me to answer to this question 

When I first looked at the DHMO website, I didn't know it was water. I thought it was a really bad chemical that was ruining the environment and peoples lives. When I found out that DHMO was just H2O, which is in other words water, I was really surprised and I felt a little stupid... Well I wouldn't blame myself for it because I haven't taken chemistry yet! :)
I think this will change the way I use information online by making me take several opinions and really research what I'm looking for more deeply and I think I will want to know exactly what I'm doing and if my information is accurate or not before I use any information off of the internet ever again. This lesson that I learnt today has made me realize what not knowing the exact information about something can lead to. Thinking water is a bad chemical... Really? Am I that bad of a researcher? I don't always look at multiple websites before turning in a research project or any other project that requires information...should I start doing so?
I have found out that not all the information that you find online will be the most accurate so always make sure you have the most accurate information before using it for anything. I think I'm going to start checking my information more to see if it's accurate rather than just basically thinking it's accurate and just turning it in or publishing it! :) 

Water is a very important source to live. I don't really like water... I just don't like that it has no taste... Maybe if it tasted a little more flavored like Gatorade, then I think I would like it better, but I still think water is very important. Drinking water is important because you need water in order to live, if we didn't have any drinking water, we'd all probably be really dehydrated. Shower water is also very important cause without water we couldn't take showers and we'd all really be unhygienic. Water is also very important because plants need water in order to live and not dry up... If we had no plants then we'd have no food and animals wouldn't survive without water either.

Sometimes I wonder if there could be something that was like water but flavored.. But that's probably not very good for plants and showers... If only drinking water would be flavored and still just as healthy as it is right now, but clearly there's nothing that does what water does for you. It's a fantasy anyways, so it doesn't exactly matter right?!
