Well, I know I'm here because at the beginning of the year Horvath said "If you want to pass, you need one blog comment a week" So here I am, blog commenting. Although I think this is isn't what you mean by "why are we here" but...oh well.
We are here because we are awesome. The human race came from evolution from apes, and apes are awesome. We survived many natural disasters and made discoveries in all areas. Since we have accomplished many things, including evolving from apes, we are awesome, and that is why we are here.
We are here so that we could read this question. Lidia wrote this question and Lidia is awesome. Therefore our only purpose is so that we could anwser this blog comment because its 'awesome'.
Well, i am here on Horvath's blog because i don't want to fail his class. If we don't blog then our grade is effected. And i am commenting on this post because he hasn't posted a new post in awhile and i dont want to fail. Therefore I am here because i am a good student. very good question lidia!
Caroline..well said. But anyway, were here because humans are the smartest of all races. We have invented a lot more than any other species. We have stable living conditions and are advancing every second in technology. Therefore, If we continue this, we will be here even longer.
I am not really sure how to answer this question because I don’t really know what it is asking. For example, it is not very specific when it uses the word here. Here could mean this website, the earth, I don’t really know. Therefore, completing this question entirely is not really possible for me, but I can still make a sew statement for the week so thanks!
I am here because of the grade. At first, when Mr. Horvath said, "To pass my class, you need blog comments", I thought he was lying. But my language arts grade in marking period two was a C+ only because I did no blog comments. So, I'm here, blog commenting to save my grade.
I agree with DThompson because my grade will be effected by these blog comments. if i do these blog comment i will get a good grade in Mr Horvath's class, but if i do not do these blog comments i will get a bad grade in Mr Horvath's class. Therefore i am here doing blog comment so i get a good grade in Mr Horvath's class.
I think that we are here on earth because everyone needs to know what it feels like to go through good and bad times. For example, I know that by going through hard times it only makes you stronger and gives you experience for later on in life. I know that going through good times helps people see why it is a good thing that we are here on earth. Therefore, being on earth is only a learning experience for eveyone who walks on earth.
I am here because one person woke up one morning and decided to go on the computer and invent something called a blog. Then mr. horvath woke up one morning in a bad mood and decided to make all of his student comment on blog post and told them that if theydid not did it they would fail. sadly i am one of those students, so here i am posting a comment so i don;t fail his class. therefore i am a great student!!
I think that where on the earth to ruin it because we have built all of these machines that are destroying it. For example we have billions of cars on the earth now that are destroying the ozone layer that we have created.Therefore we are on the earth to ruin it because we created car which create pollution and ruin the earth.
I know why I am here at the moment, but I cant exactly say why 'we' are here. And I don't know if your asking about this very second, or the whole venture of time. Were here now because we aren't dead. That's pretty much it...We are here because the only other thing we could be is not here, but obviously we aren't not here because we are reading and answering this question. And if your asking why human beings are here on this planet, then I have no clue. We are here because of evolution, but I don't know our purpose. We are here because we are, and that's about it.
Well I am not quite sure why I am here, but I know why I am here, as in this blog. I have to write blog comments every week and this is one of them. Tomorrow we are turning them in and unlike 80% of the people in my class I will have my blog comments from each week and get a good grade. So I am a good student because I force myself to sit here every week and post on this blog.
i think we are here so we can be prepared for what is to come. When we grow up life may not have due dates but we need to work twice as hard on our assignments. Teachers aren't going to be around for help anymore and were going to have to figure stuff out on our own.
I think that were on the earth to prepare for the afterlife. When we die, we will be born with new life. This is a good thing. Life is like humans being prepared for more life. Therefore, life is preparing us for more life if that makes sense.
I think that human's are here on earth for a reason. I know that the post is asking what the reason is, but to be honest, I really don't know. Some say that we were sent here from an "all-knowing being" but others say that we evolved from other species. And still others say that we kinda just appeared one day. I don't really believe in any of those theories, but I do believe that humans are here for a reason.
I think that's a really interesting question. We're obviously put on this earth for a reason and for a purpose that we're supposed to fulfill before we leave this world. But I feel like everyone has to find their purpose for being here on their own so i cant say for someone else why we are here since each of us has a different purpose for being here.
We are here because if you don't do these blog posts, then you won't get a good grade in Horvath's class. I know that because I didn't hand in my blog posts for a marking period and it brought my grade down a lot, so now I am here doing this because I want to go home with a good grade on the 4th marking period's report card. Also because we are humans. Therefore, I want a good grade so I am doing the blog posts.
This statement is confusing because it does not state where the question was asked so it may have many answers.Evidence to support this is that the article asks, "Why are we here?

Is we referring to the human race or to the humans that visit this site weekly?
We are here because we are awesome. The human race came from evolution from apes, and apes are awesome. We survived many natural disasters and made discoveries in all areas. Since we have accomplished many things, including evolving from apes, we are awesome, and that is why we are here.

As everyone else has said I am here because in order to get a good grade you must comment, so here I am. Does that answer your question(:

We are here to keep up our grades.
