The Genome by Russell Grandberry

     On Wednesday, September, 8th, Dr. Georgia M. Dunston came to talk to the class about the human genome. Not only was the human genome the DNA that describes ones looks, personality, and genetic makeup, but it is also the thing that makes one an individual. Every person in the world has a different genetic make up. Even identical twins do not have the exact same genome. Dr. Dunston talked about the importance of being a proud individual. She went on to say that each person standing in the room was someones prayer. We owed it to someone to sucked because we were different. 
     Dr. Dunston's lecture was interesting,but sometimes hard to follow. She did not use the power-point at all,so it was hard to picture what she was trying to describe to us. She switched from idea to idea very quickly. Due to the overflow I had to sit in the back with no seat, and sometimes it was hard to hear her. I did not understand the multiple definitions that she gave for the one word "genome", when we had no way of visually seeing the descriptions. In the end I learned that we are each individuals, and as such we must individually take responsibilities for our own actions. This relates to our group's question. It shows that to combat poverty we each have to individually strive to do better and help our brother. We should all come together each as one individual, and as one whole.
