C4K #1 Assignment review

I was assigned to comment on the blog of Aorta Tachuo. In her About Me post, I found out that she is originally from Chuck/ Micronesia and born on the island of Fefen. She came to stay with her aunt and uncle here in the United States when she was 5 for her education. She says that she especially misses her grandmother, who she has not seen for 9 nine years. Aorta says that she enjoys hula dancing, volleyball, and Mathematics.
I left the following comment in response to her About Me post. "Aloha! 'O Ann-Marie ko'u inoa. I was assigned to post on your blog for my EDM310 course with Dr. Strange. I think it is really great that you were able to come to the united States for you education. It is also nice that you like Mathematics. I just wanted to say enjoy your time in the states, but never forget origins. I am half Hawaiian, Half white. I was raised by my white father and his family.Although my mother's family is in the native program, I was never able to meet them or learn from them. My older brother has completely embraced the culture of the mainland, but I have worked my whole life to try and keep in touch with the homeland. It makes me sad that, while I speak Hawaiian, my older brother refuses to learn the most basic of phrases. I also love to hula. It is very unique to see an appreciation for the art here in the states. I also enjoy Mathematics. I am at school so I can one day teach Mathematics.I hope that when I do I can spread the love for the subject and appreciation of what it allows for us. Mathematics is everywhere and in everything that we do. Even when it gets tough, just keep trying. You'll get it in the end. Best of luck this year. A hui hou!"
(Aorta did not have a Learning Manifesto available for me to read or comment on.)
Aorta posted a comment on the winning school speech of 2009. The speech was about how too often people  take the first impression of people based on the person's physical appearance. The speech also goes on to discuss how people treat or think of others based on the appearance of that person. Aorta responded to the video by saying that she does recognize that people rarely stop to consider a person's personality before forming an opinion about that person. She also recognized that kids too often judge others just to fit in or get attention. Let's be honest; it is difficult to overlook a person talking bad about another person publicly. It is how we respond to the person acting such a way that reveals who we are. I commented that people to often think those born physically appealing to be the lucky ones. But these people rarely build social skills. On the other hand, those who are not so appealing often build social skills to compensate. Later when appearances fade, who do you think are the lucky ones? I think the ones who weren't dependent on their appearance will manage just fine on their own.
