volunteer Work

i Believe that volunteer Work is important. hElping someone makes the helper feel very good about themselves. not ALL work deserves pay. volunteer hours look good for college resumes. If you ever help out a person in need, watch how grateful they are. it's very heartwarming. Volunteer work is something that Everyone should partake in, in their lifetime.

Reading

Some individuals believe that reading is relaxing and fun. But, in my opinion, reading is extremely boring and a waste of time. I would much rather play a sport, watch television, or be on the computer instead of reading a book. Even though people say that reading enhances your vocabulary and knowledge, it is still very monotonous. I sometimes will read a book if I have absolutely nothing to do or if it is a really interesting book, but other than that, it is very hard to find me wasting my day away reading a book. Especially these days when there are so many other types of entertainment such as Wii, Xbox, Nitendo DS, etc. Most people enjoy doing things that are interactive and exciting to do. Sometimes it is hard to read because staying in one place for a long period of time can be challenging. So, reading or doing something interactive and fun? The answer is always, do something interactive or fun such as play a video game or play a sport that you enjoy thoroughly.

Adult

I think the age that people should be considered adults is 21. I believe 21 is because people are able to do everything at that age. Driving, smoking, and drinking are some of the things people can do. Anyone under the age of 21 shouldn't be considered an adult because you can't do everything before 21. I don't think 18 is an adult yet because there are still limitations as what a 18 year old can do. At 21, it's the last time you get a license also. So in my mind, in order to be considered an adult, a person should be 21 years of age.

Human Cloning

I believe that human cloning is something that we should not do. It's unnecessary because if everyone had a clone, the world would be more overpopulated than it is already. Although I do think it's rather neat when they clown animals, cloning humans is not right. To me, cloning is a sin. Some days you may think it would be cool to have a clone but is it necessary? The answer is no. I think our nation needs to focus on more important things instead of trying to clone humans.

Most Important Invention in History

Electricity is obviously the most important invention in history. Without electricity, where would we be today? Think of everything that needs electricity to work properly. (computers, lights, phone, tv, shower, fridge, etc.) This list goes on and on. Electricity is used every single days of our lives. It's almost impossible to avoid using it. Some people believe that Thomas Edison invented it, while others seems to give the credit to Mr. Ben Franklin, but no one actually knows who 'invented' electricity because it has been around for tons of years. If electricity didn't exist, life would be greatly different. No fridges or freezers to preserve food, no lights to see, and no television to keep our eyes glued to. Electricity is the number one invention in my book.

Suicide

Physician assisted suicide should be outlawed in my opinion. Nobody should be allowed to professionally help someone commit suicide. If someone wants to commit suicide, they should go see a physcologist to receive help. I don't understand why someone would want to get paid to help someone commit suicide. If someone's life is that bad, they should be getting counseling to help improve their life and thought process. To me, helping an individual commit suicide is morally wrong and should be against the law. Committing suicide is one of the worst ways to die because God decides when you die. So please, if someone is thinking about committing suicide, don't encourage them and help them to succeed in doing that, instead, seek help from a physcologist for them.

Nebraska weather

Unpredictable. That is the easiest way to describe it. One week it snows, the next it's sixty degrees. I wish Nebraska weather wasn't so crazy. There's harsh winters and scorching summers. The worst part of Nebraska weather is of course, the snow. It's the middle of October and it is already snowing. What happened to fall?

My Goal

To me, having goals are important. If you do not have any goals, you have nothing to motivate you to better yourself. One goal of mine in particular is graduate in the top of my class and receive a good scholarship for college. My goal is to be on first honor roll every quarter and receive a great ACT score. In order to do so, I must work hard and get good grades. I want to go to the school of my choice, and not have to worry about how much it cost. But then again, I must get good grades and a high ACT score. Sometimes people set goals that are unbelievably hard to reach, but in my case, that is not a problem. I set goals that are reachable.

Voice's to be heard

I believe kids have trouble having their voices be heard because older kids don't enjoy listening to kids who are younger than them. Kids need to be patient and eventually their voice will be heard. Also, some kids are too scared to get in front of large crowds. If kids can not be so scared, they can let their voice be heard. Also kids can use other forms of communication such as writing, texting, and emailing to have their voice heard. It does not always have to be verbal communication. So kids, lose your fear and let your voice by heard by using some type of communication.

i hate snow

Snow. Thinking of the word makes me cold. I wish snow never even existed because there's nothing good about it. For one, it's cold. Who enjoys being cold and wet? Secondly, snow causes many problems to drivers. When snow is on the road, it causes many accidents and troubles for drivers trying to reach their destination. Kids may love playing in the snow but once they are done, they are constantly coughing, have a runny nose, and find it impossible to become warm. Even though winter hasn't even begun, I can't wait until it is in the past. All in all, I hate snow.

Prejudice and Discrimination

Even thought we don't encounter the act of discrimination or prejudice first hand at our school, it happens everyday, everywhere. This has been a problem in the United States for many years, dating back to slavery, but our school isn't diverse enough to witness this very much during school. Although the Civil Rights Act has been passed for many years, discrimination and prejudice still occurs. No one should be treated differently because of the color of his or her skin. Also, a person shouldn't be looked down upon because they have a different religion. As Americans, we all have the same rights as ever other American. I can't begin to believe how it would feel to be discriminated against because of the color of my skin or my religion. People tend to either stare or give awkward looks to someone who doesn't look like them. One of my favorite quotes is, "treat people the way you want to be treated." Every human being should be treated equal, no matter what gender, color, or religion they are.

Advantages vs Disadvantages of School Uniforms

There are quite a few advantages and disadvantages of having school uniforms. One advantage is not having to find something to wear everyday to school. If we had school uniforms we wouldn't have to worry about what to wear because we can only wear our school uniform. Another advantage would be, the students look more professional wearing uniforms. The school administrators wouldn't have to worry if the students were wearing clothes that are appropriate for school. Also, having school uniforms would make it easier for the student body to learn. Nobody would be distracted by what their peers are wearing and focus on learning. One disadvantage is school uniforms can be uncomfortable. Students need to be comfortable while at school so they can focus. Another disadvantage would be that students can't be themselves if they have to wear school uniforms. Many students tend to dress the way they feel and if they can't wear the clothes they like, they can't be their own individual. School uniforms can be a asset or a problem for students.
