Flava M.	October 29, 2004 1:37 PM I think this is an awesome topic and I am glad you started it. Where do I start? OK, with the original questions... 1. Tom 2. 40 years old (please say I look younger.. 3. Just outside of Heidelberg, Germany 4. Don't have pets, but have plants and bass guitars that have names... 5. My favorite things are music, friends, more music and "quality friends" 6. My cause is my journey through this life. I want to learn as much as possible, I want to help as much as possible. I wish to be enlightened, as well as to be used to enlighten 7. My favorite subject is school "was" lunch... 8. My favorite food is Thai food, and almost everything my wife cooks for me 9. Favorite color is blue if I had to pick one. I actually enjoy lots of colors... I am very concerned about what our youth thinks about the world we have created for them. I posted this question in another youth oriented group and it did not bare fruit there. I grew up and was told to never question authority, but I had a ton of questions I needed answered. I wish earlier someone would have pulled me to the side and let me know that it is OK for kids to have a voice too... [ send green star] [ accepted]

I currently host/co-host six care2 groups and two non-care2 groups. Four of the groups are peace related, two of the groups are shamanic, one group for writers, and one group for dreams. I am currently working on developing some educational programs for teaching peace and tolerence within school systems and promoting peace and healing worlwide. I have applied for several grants and will be applying for more in the coming months within this area. Action begins with our taking the first step! We can no longer wait for others to take the first step for us. My one daughter is married and living in Austria. Walk in peace, love, and beauty Ross [ send green star] [ accepted]

Jm Y.	introduction January 21, 2005 2:17 PM Hello ! I am quite new on care2, I discovered the site by searching for good e-cards a couple of weeks ago. ) But it was just all what I needed (I tell you know why in another post). If I had to introduce myself, I would say *My name is Jean-Michel, I am soon 31 years old, living in Paris, France. My parents had a cat called Mickey (indeed, my parents does not speak English ), but it ran away last summer. I was interested in many things, such as economics, politics, sciences, nature, art cinema, chess, sports, but I feel getting older and I now feel that I need to focus on important matters like God and how to help people as my small level... Now I am interesting myself at things happening in Ukraine, where a pacific and democratic revolution took place at the end of last year. I have some friends there and I am thinking at a way to join them and to help there for a while... In school, I loved learning foreign languages, philosophy and economics. My favorite foods are all kinds of cheese, provided they stink a lot, dark chocolate, good wines, salt crepes, gastronomy in general... Favorite color: navy blue The truth will make you free. Comment: truth is such a great thing, it is a shield which protects you and it can be a powerful sword to hit the wicked. Now, I write another post, about the reason why I came to you now. But it does not belong to an introduction. Anyway, I have some of your posts and I would like to tell you that you are very sympathetic. I will recall such things like "greatness in smallness" ) Jean-Michel [ send green star] [ accepted]

Tiffany C.	Tiffany's Intro April 28, 2005 4:26 AM My first name is Tiffany. I just turned 27 today! I was born and raised in Sunny South Florida. I have 2 cats. Kaspurr, my charming and majestic white and black cat, who is going on his 11th year. Abby, my beautiful and devoted Tabby cat, he is 8 years old. My favorite things would have to be, of course, my family! My son (6 months old), my husband, my kitty cats. I love to listen and make music. I love to sing. Bike riding in the park. Swimming, walking and sunbathing at the beach!!! I'm interested in causes that involve children and animals. I would also like to get involoved in stopping violence toward women and children. Having grown up in a violate home I can relate. Hmm... Well, when I was in school my fave subjects were music, art, and computer classes. My fave foods....anything with alot of CARBS...of course! I love to wear pink but I like to decorate my house in greens, browns, and natural colors and woods. My fave saying is.... ¤••••••People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within••••••¤ •••••Elizabeth Kübler-Ross••••• Hmmm... what's left to say? I work partime at an elematary school as an Afterschool Counselor. 3rd grade. Never knew how sneaky little kids were until I started working there. I'm learning so much about children. Until my son was born I never had much interest in kids. I wish now that I had gone to school to teach. Children are so unique and special. Well, that's my intro! I probably could go on forever but I'm sure you got things to do! :o) Lots a love, Tiffany [ send green star] [ accepted]

David B.	July 12, 2006 5:39 AM Hello my name is David Boulton. I am 53 years old, single and belong to my 13 year old daughter, Deanna. I live just outside Louisville in Kentucky. More than anything else within the scope of human influence the future of our families, communities, cultures, economies, and nations depend on our children's learning. The most precious resource on earth is our children's learning. What aspects of our children's physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, social or academic development isn't profoundly shaped by learning? *Except for that ~* How well children grow through the traumas, challenges and disadvantages they experience depends on on how well they learn. How well they rise to the opportunities and advantages they experience depends on how well they learn. From their emotional health and maturity to their mental health and wisdom, their innermost growth and outermost development depends on how well, *how healthily, they learn. I describe myself as a 'learning ecologist and activist'. By that I mean my primary 'lens' is learning. Not, learning as a utility for acquiring knowledge and skills, rather, learning as the central dynamic of being human* - learning as the process of participatively differentiating and extending into who we are becoming (from birth to death). Further, I think the *health* of our learning regulates virtually all other dimensions of our development, health and well being. Just as the efficiency of a lever depends on where the fulcrum is located, so to, I believe, does the efficiency of activism. I have come to think that 'stewarding the *health* of learning' is the most minimally presumptuous, maximally relevant, fulcrum for locating efforts intended to address the generational transmission of ignorance and negligence that plague our species. I am here to learn how to dialogue with this community about learning and the role it plays in kids making a difference. [ send green star] [ accepted]
Brandi A.	February 21, 2007 10:06 PM Writing on behalf of myself and my son. This looks like an interesting group and happy to join. When I saw the logo of the group 'kids can make a difference!' I knew it was for me and was also happy to see the children posting also which my son would love to meet kids from other parts of the world so I like that we can both be a part in this group, not just myself. I totally believe that kids can make a difference if given the chance and I think this is group is inspiring. name : Brandi (and son Matheson) age (if you want) 29 (and almost 5) state or city you live in Ontario Canada (me too) pets names and types Noella (my cat) favorite things playing with my son, reading, art, music, movies, walking/hiking, cooking, crafts, travel (music, drumming, painting, building stuff especially with legos, castles and knights, ancient egypt, reading stories with mom) causes you're interested in anything to do with children, women, health, animals, environment favorite subjects in school english (music) favorite food soya foods, vegetarian foods, yogurt, fruit, veggies, nuts, COFFEE, Chocolate, ice cream...anything pb/chocolate (chicken, hotdogs aka the veggie kind, fruit, yogurt, peanut butter sandwiches, lollypops, chocolate milk) fav. color red (red) *favorite quote/saying if at first you don't succeed, try and try again (maybe tomorrow, why, look at this) [ send green star] [ accepted]

Taylor M.	Hi! December 10, 2008 2:09 PM I'm Taylor, and I'm 14 years old. I live in Gillette, Wyoming on a ranch with two horses, two dogs, and a kitten. My horses names are Doc and Sauly, my dogs are Jake and Sage, and my kitten is Rylee. I have two nieces and two nephews--Sadi, Aspen, Coyle, and Grady. They are the main reason I joined this group because I honestly don't know what I would do without any of them. My favorite food is ice cream, favorite color teal, and favorite movie Armageddon. I want to pursue a career in marine mammal training, specifically with killer whales. I love training animals, as I have trained both of my dogs by myself, and I barrel race with my horse Sauly. I LOVE to swim, and I love the ocean. Abortion is a huge issue to me because I believe that everyone has a right to life, whether they are the outcome of rape, they have mental or physical disabilities, or they won't live a very long life. I believe that everyone conceived has a purpose to serve, and my nieces and nephews certainly do. None of their parents are with eachother, and because of that, they could have easily been aborted. I am so happy they weren't, but so many babies are. I'm here to try and give them a voice that they don't have. [ send green star] [ accepted]
