How to Fix Poverty

People have tried to fix poverty and find easy solitons to fix poverty for years. People have tried many thing an as few things have worked.
The main reason that they don't work is because people are to small minded. They need to think bigger picture. The best and only way to really help poverty is to help there economy and improve unemployment. Putting people to work is the key to growth in a country. This is the se with every country.
So when we are helping grow and help another country we should try this same task.
How to implement this is the only factor. The best way to so would be to train locals how to do difference jobs. Teach people or give people the resources needed to work. Build a mind and allow the people to benefit from it through hard work. Support clothes manufacturers. Creating businesses is the only way to creat jobs.
People think that when they give out money or give out good and clothes that they are really helping. In reality this can hurt people. Giving a town free clothes can put several people out of work.
Sop prying economic growth is the most important way to help grow a countries economy and in turn help poverty.

Open Topic

When I'm finished with college I want to be a physical therapist. There are a lot of reasons why I want to be a physical therapist. Physical therapy is extremely rewarding and will help me in several Areas of my life.
What started my interest in physical therapy was my mother. She has a degree in physical Therapy form Georgia State University. Growing up over seas I have always wanted to return to my home in Georgia for college. I've always know I would go to school close to my family in the United States. All my life I have been interested in sports and have really enjoyed them. I know there aren't many jobs that involve sports that interest me so I never pursued the idea of working with sports and looked for something more academic that I liked. I was also worried about how much money I could make. One day my mom was telling me about her job. I've always known she was a physical therapist, but I thought she only worked with old people who had fallen and needed to be taught how to walk again or hurt a muscle and needed to regain movement in their wrest or something. She told me that physical therapist also work with athletes. This surprised me and gave me something that I thought I could really enjoy. I've never been good enough at sports to seriously think about being an athlete, but I thought that working with them would be fun and interesting. Physical therapy is also a good respectable job that you can make money at.
In the future I plan on having a family one day. Physical therapy can also prepare me for that. While I was growing up it was a huge help to my family of four boys to have a physical therapist as a mother. She could tell right away if we had broken a bone or sprained a muscle. She also new serious something was. We didn't have to go to the hospital to. Get things checked out. We only went when one of us really needed to get something fixed. My mom having gotten a degree in physical therapy also had to study a lot of medicine in college and later to keep her license. This also helped a lot. The last thing that made a big difference was that she worked at a hospital. She had a lot of experience dealing with situations that we would have been in.

What is the Price of Physical Therapy?

The price of Physical Thereapy like most jobs depends on location. If someone lives in an expensive area the cost of living will go up and physical therapy theatments will go up. If someone lives in a more inexpensive area the price will go down. Also the population will determine the demand which will also increase or decrease the price. The community can also have an effect on the price. If the area has more elderly people that need help it changes the demand which will change the price.
The rough estamets of prices would be about 75-150 dollars per visit. A visit can also be anywhere from fifteen minutes to one hour.
It is hard to say what is fair for this service because it is not a typical type of service. Who is to say what the service should cost? The reason that it is like a service is because you are providing someone with something that isn't a good. However, in most services you are doing something for someone like cooking or building. In physical therapy it's more about the knowledge that you are leaving a person with. It's a type of training that took the physical therapist six years of school to learn. The price has to be determined by what people are willing to pay.

Blog 1: Introduction

                My name is Kelsey Luke Mitchell. I currently live in Lima Peru where I have been for the past six years. I have grown up most of my life in South America with my three older brothers and parents. My parents have been missionaries in several different countries since my seventh birthday. I am now eighteen and a senior in High School. I have lived in The United States, Venezuela, Costa Rica, and Peru. I have lived a very diverse and interesting life. Although I have lived mostly in big cities I have spent a lot of time in the poorest places of South America. I have seen the needs of many people who live far below the average living expectancy that there is in the United States.
                The way I would like to impact the world today is to be able to help people in the best way I know how and can enjoy. Before I was born my mother was a physical therapist. Hearing and learning about her job has got me interested in that field of study and is what I plan on working on in college. I want to be able to help the community where I live in while in the United States but make every effort to take mission trips and medical trips to South America where others and I can help the most.
                The best way to make this possible is to know economics and have the discipline to work hard. Working hard to learn the skills needed to help others and the discipline to manage money the best way to support my family and use it for others.
