First off before anything we need to know what radiation is and radiation is when energy is emitted by subatomic particles as waves. Radiation can be found in many things such as a microwave, x-rays, or even when you’re talking on the phone. This problem is often used in our daily lives such as power plants and cancer treatment (Chemotherapy). Power plants are used in our lives as a power source but if damaged or destroyed it can emit harmful radiation killing blood cells and sickening people in its radius. Just as it sickens people who are affected by the radiation those who use radiation to better themselves as well gets themselves sick. This applies worldwide because of the fact that globally, countries use power plants to power their country. A few months into the 2011 year Japan got hit with natural disasters destroying their power plant and infecting many of those near the power plant and its soil. As well as it leaked into the Pacific Ocean. If anything I suggest we find a safe alternative for these power plants such as solar energy where the radiation use is less. I suggest this because of the fact that there are other ways that energy can be absorbed or used. More information on the leakage can be found by clicking link.

Radiation (SSR)
While reminiscing on the past, I've realized that there was various natural disasters that damaged the countries it hit. I've realized though that radiation is a problem that not only happened in 2011, but as well into this year. Have you ever noticed that Radiation is thought to be a problem worldwide and should avoided because of how dangerous it is.

Family (PB)
Yes, it may seem weird that I have a passion for my family, but hey that's me. My family is what has shaped me to become who I am today. I am thankful for everything that they have done for me, and my siblings even if I didn't realize how much they actually did for us. My mother and father are both from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. They faced issues in schools regarding weapons being brought in classes or the constant stealing as you walk on the street. Their parents in order to protect them had to pay for them to go to a private school where crime is very low, and has protection all around. To me it basically sounded like prison. They didn't want us to live in constant fear or having to pay each month 1000+ pesos per kid.
In Dominican Republic it is hard to obtain well paying jobs. I can tell because when I was on my way to our house, and there would be traffic, there are people in the streets selling water, snacks, or are willing to clean your front window for as little as 50 pesos which isn't much. 50 pesos = $1.18 here in the United States, and that is rounded up. The Dominican Republic economy is in such a bad shape that in order to fill up a tank of gas for a car is a minimum of 3300 pesos which equals to $77.56. My parents planed ahead, and did the hardest thing for them to do. They left Dominican Republic to start a family here in the United States, and I am thankful for that. This is why I am passionate about my family since I only get to see the rest in Dominican Republic for a couple a months every few years.
This chart shows the currency exchange rate, and it has been decreasing ever since 2009. It is clear that Dominican Republic is undergoing inflation, and is something that my parents may have taken into account when leaving Dominican Republic.
