The administration of President Barack Obama keeps telling us that the economy will soon recover. This is despite recent news that the private sector has been cutting jobs instead of creating them. We learned today that over 10,000 jobs were cut in august by private companies.

This trend is threatening to extend the recovery and possibly throw us back into the mess we were trying so hard to get out of. I hope that these big companies will find a way to hold on to the workers they have and maybe even hire a few more. It sure would be good news.

If you like to discover new things and if you like to learn then you are probably like me. When I watch my Satellite TV my favorite educational channel is the Discovery Channel. I am always amazed at how many great shows they have. Sometimes I wish I could go on adventures myself, but watching the Discovery Channel is almost just as good. There is this one show, “Man vs. Wild” that is beyond exciting. These crazy guys catch snakes and encounter the wild in ways I’ll never be able to do. I love watching them do these things that are crazy and adventurous. When this show comes on as repeats on Wednesday and Sunday mornings I make sure I’m there to experience adventures with them. I feel like in a way I am sharing in their exciting life and getting to learn at the same time.

The diversity of the Discovery Channel is really what blows my mind. They have all kinds of subjects to choose from. You can watch shows on adventure sports, animals, cars, dinosaurs, history, space, and all sorts of other really cool things. The people they get to do these shows are really cool too. There is this one show with Morgan Freeman, where they discuss the mystery of black holes. I haven’t gotten to watch it yet, but I’m really excited to. Seriously if you like learning then the Discovery Channel is the channel to watch.
