San Kulpa

My intention for 2017 is to try harder when I feel like giving up. I feel like I give up a lot and I can't anymore because it's taking a toll on my life and school. I really need to focus more on doing my homework and stuff so I won't get falcon fouls anymore or have to go in the work room. I've gotten better at this towards the end of 2016 but I really want 2017 to be a strong year for me. I hope I can pull this off and I know I can. I hope 2017 is a good year for me.

Could you imagine living without internet?

     Could you imagine going a day without internet, more so your whole LIFE without internet? Well that's what it's like in China. People have to live their day to day lives without most internet accessible websites in China. Why you may ask? Here's the answer:

     Several (a lot) of popular websites in America are banned in China by their government. This is happening in China , and as of now there is no way of getting around it. Since the internet is banned people having been nicknaming China the "Great Firewall of China." These website bans happened as of September 2015. The Chinese government has banned these websites because of their strict internet censorship laws. Some websites that are banned include Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, etc.

     Why China? Well the internet censorship laws in China are extreme because of a large amount of laws and administrative regulations. In fact, more than sixty internet regulations have been made by the Chinese government. The system blocks websites and content by stopping IP addresses from being routed through. It is made up of standard firewalls and proxy servers at the internet gateways.

     How does IP blocking work? The reachability to a certain IP address is denied. If the main website is held in a shared hosting server, all websites on the same server will be blocked. Another way that is used to block websites is URL filtering. Basically the system detects certain keywords in the URL to know if it should block the website or not, but most websites are in fact blocked.

     In conclusion a lot of people are impacted by this internet blockage everyday in China, and the government doesn't care. We just need to find ways to fight against them, and maybe they'll start listening.

Favorite quote

my favorite quote is "Life is tough, my darling, but so are you."

To me this quote means that even though life is tough, so are you so you can get through it. I like this quote because I can really relate and connect to it. I can relate to it because I'm always complaining about school and stuff and if I think about this quote I can get through anything. It shows me that if I'm having a bad day, I can get through it because I'm a tough and strong person. This quote is really inspirational overall .

My name

My name comes from Saint Jude. I really like my name and I feel important to have it because Jude was one of the 12 apostles of Jesus, and that's really good.
