Historical Significance

One of the most memorable days of my skateboarding life, was the day I met professional skater PJ Ladd, along with the rest of the DC team that came to Taiwan. They were here for s project called Project Granite, it is basically grinding on a huge piece of Granite and basically making the company look good by doing projects like this. When he first entered the park, it was a moment I would never forget. This moment is so important to be because this is the first time I have ever met a real Pro skater.
Right now, a huge event that is still going on and will be always remembered, is the Japanese earthquake and the tsunami that is going on right now. Last weekend, a magnitude of 8.9 earthquake hit Japan along with a tsunami that swallowed people's lives. Thousands of people died during this tragic event. When I first heard this, I felt a strong pity towards the Japanese people that lived there, maybe because similar things has happened to us, but except with taiphoon. This event actually hit me hard, once I saw this, I finally understand how powerful mother nature really is. I felt as if the world is changing too much because of Global Warming. I feel as if this was all our fault and we all deserve it for hurting the Earth. This changed my thoughts on polluting the world. 
  Another very astonishing event that occurred was a protest that took place back in 2006 when the ex-president was first announced as president for another four years. There were thousands of people infront of the ex Taiwan president’s home. Parents, teenagers, kids, old people, were all gathered in one plaza, sleeping and eating there, practically treating it as their home.They were all wearing red for showing their anger, and all they want is for the president to be reassigned. They used the “thumbs down” sign to show how displeased they were and how much they wanted him to not be president for another four years. This went on for a few more months until they finally gave up and went back to what they were doing.
