Having many people on my site means a lot to me because I'm trying to build awareness towards the severe issue of sex trafficking.
So far I have provided not only my opinions, but facts and sources to credit my points as well. I am not trying to please a specific individual, I am merely stating facts and what I would like to do to better the United States.
In order to make this blog better I must be consistent as well as provide accurate and interesting information so people want to come back and see what else is happening and hopefully want to help in my efforts to stop sex trafficking.
In general I believe that human ideas are more important than media/ tools because you can have all the tools in the world but if you don't know how to use them or don't have the ideas to better then what is the point of living? I live to make the world a better place, starting with ending sex trafficking.

THIS IS ONLY A TEST!
What is sex trafficking?
Who does sex trafficking affect?
How can I help stop this crime?
Sex trafficking is when minors are forced into sexual acts for money, much like prostitution, but the victims ate not willing to participate.
Sex trafficking can happen to anyone, rich or poor, smart or under educated.
Imagine it were your sister, your daughter, would you want her to have to fear walking hone alone after a football game?
You can do something to help, spreading awareness is the first step. Tell people you know about this horrible crime and do your part. By doing that you could save a little girls life, who knows it may be your sister's or your daughter's. It's worth the risk, take that first step towards a better world.

Testing my Skills
Instead of being handed a traditional test I would love to have my test be a speech. I am much more comfortable just talking about sex trafficking then writing on a blog about it because I feel like I'm not making an impact, but if I spoke, at least I know people ate listening. I would speak about my over all knowledge as well as some personal testimonies I have heard and read.

Startling Facts
http://courageworldwide.org/the-problem/
The current issues in society range, but sex trafficking has to be the highest on my list. Men are purchasing their daughters, it makes me sick just thinking about it. This repulsive industry needs to be stopped as soon as possible, not for my sake, but for those girls.

Entrepreneurs
When I think of the expert my questions were intended for, I do believe they are an entrepreneur because they built homes for women in need, making an impact in those women's lives.
When I think about my project, I want to make a place where victims feel safe so I believe I am an entrepreneur as well, because I'm putting something into the world.
Lastly I believe the world has a false view of entrepreneurs, to be an entrepreneur you don't need to be an expert. In the article "The Youngest Technorati" Michael Hansen and his best friend Ryan Orbuch created apps starting in 10th grade. They are definitely not experts in apps but they are entrepreneurs. You don't have to be an expert to be an entrepreneur.

Resource a Day
http://www.npr.org/2014/03/01/284487140/courts-take-a-kinder-look-at-victims-of-child-sex-trafficking
The thing about this article that first caught my eye was the image of the girl on the bus stop. That picture is part of how I want to spread the word about sex trafficking.
Later on in this article it is said that anyone found guilty of selling sex is prosecuted, even children. I want to stop sex trafficking but if there is no safe place in California to put the victims of sex trafficking, what's the point?
I have decided that I want to talk to either a city official or our state representative and discuss the growing issue of sex trafficking within the United States.
I would like some feed back, what do you think?
