food

The food a person chooses to eat is dependent upon taste, smell, and sometimes texture. Everyone around the world has a distinct and personal favorite food. However, why are people more attached to certain foods.
      People can become attached to certain foods, because it can remind them of a loved one, or simply fulfill a craving. On several different occasions, people select foods that are most familiar to them. Certain foods link people back to their childhood, or create a nostalgic feeling. Also some people prefer foods that are sweet, spicy, sour, or salty. Some foods are associated with the holidays such as turkey and honey baked hams on thanksgiving, candy canes on Christmas, chocolate covered strawberries on Valentine ’s Day, jawbreakers on Halloween, strawberry cake, with cream cheese icing on someone’s birthday.
  Foods can also be selected for the nutritional value. If someone is on a diet they are more prone to choose foods that are low in sugar such as broccoli, cucumber, peas, and asparagus. Someone on a diet is not necessarily going to eat something such as, a donut, cheeseburger, supersized French fries, fried chicken, or pizza.   There are different reasons as to why people eat the foods they eat and why they eat the foods they eat. Most of the foods we eat, are either chosen for their nutritional value, dependent on a special day, or dependent on our mood. Whatever the situation may be, people choose the foods they want to eat. No one has control over the types of foods someone else eats.

Uncle Sam Wants You

                                                            
“Democracy is by definition, the free and equal right of every person to participate in a system of government, often practiced by electing representatives of the people by the majority of the people” (Microsoft word, dictionary/ N.D.). Everyone in the United States should have the right to make their own decisions. The United States professes to allow the voices of the people to be heard, although this far too often does not occur.
      It is not fair to require, or force someone to serve in the military. Not everyone posses the patriotic attitude towards their country, so why force them to fight for their country? America wears a façade that portrays how their government tends to the needs of their people. The imperative decision that Americans face when enlisting in the army should not be a decision that is forced, or made by the government. Being an American is suppose to secure our rights, and ability to fight for our pursuit of happiness, our freedom, and most of all, our freedom of speech. The government has no right to change what has already been set in stone; they have no right to overturn the first amendment by requiring Americans to serve in some form of military service branch. The decision must be voluntary. Why take away American citizens options? Why force someone to serve a year in the miltary? America cannot stand amongst other countries, and claim that they are a land of opportunities and options, if they require their citizens, to fight in a war that they may not feel is substantial. Several things can happen within that time period if enlisted in the army, he or she could be injured or even worse killed. A life changing decision such as, enlisting in the military for a whole year, should only be made by the person considering enlisting in the military. The government should not have a major voice in a life changing decision such as this.
     Enlisting in the army is not an option for me. My obligated quest for the pursuit of happiness does not begin with enlisting in the military, but enrolling in college. It is astounding that if I lose my life, in the act of fighting in a war that is not my own, the government coincidently has enough money to pay for a proper funeral; however they don’t have enough money to pay for my education. Although the government will pay for my education, if I put my life in the middle of a war zone, and only then, is when I can receive my opportunity to enroll in college without any finical burdens.
   The first amendment, upholds our right as American citizens to verbally express our opinions, even if they are against our beloved country. It is interesting that we live in a government built upon democracy yet we are constantly defending our rights to exercise this so called democracy.

Common Application Personal Statement

                                     
 It’s not easy being a teacher. As a teacher you must know your student, what they’re learning methods are, and their true aspirations. As a teacher, you must demonstrate your passion, and allow your student to understand that you enjoy teaching them. Also as a teacher you must teach your student that the sky is the limit. My oldest brother has taught me all of the above. A teacher and an older brother share the same responsibilities.
     My older brother, Michael, has taught me life’s most important lessons. He’s taught me to speak my mind, and most importantly that I can be anything in the world, there is no such word as “limit” when dealing with your future goals. He is my greatest influence. When I get sad, or discouraged he reminds me that I’m not the only person who feels defeated at times. He has taught me that you can feel discouraged, but never wallow in self-pity. A college search is supposed to be exciting, heartfelt, and heartbreaking? I searched for colleges based on their SAT or ACT score requirements, and if they offered my major. At times it would discourage me to find that my score did not match a certain colleges SAT or ACT requirements. My older brother gave me a light while I was traveling down my dark tunnel of finding my “perfect college”. I remember my brother’s words of encouragement, he told me “scores matter, but they’re not the only thing that an admissions board will look at. Colleges want a well-rounded person not someone who just tests well or who has a 4.0 GPA.” When he told me this I began to approach a new direction in searching for my “perfect college”. I realized that I could get accepted into any school as long as I put all my heart and effort into it.
        Michael has assisted me throughout my life, from breaking the news to my parents about my first bad grade, to my first, second, and third driving ticket. I have a wonderful relationship with both of my parents. However my older brother contains a higher level of empathy. My older brother is also the one person I can count on to be on my side, even if I am wrong.  My older brother taught me that there is nothing in this world that I can’t do. For a long time, I didn’t realize the amount of potential I possessed; I’m not the average student. I think further outside the box.
    My older brothers has had a positive influence over me, I was somewhat insecure and quiet. When I would attend class, and didn’t understand my teachers lesson, I wouldn’t raise my hand, or ask questions, I would simply nod my head and pretend as if I understood exactly what was going on in class. This however only hurt me in the long run, my older brother taught me that there is nothing wrong with asking the teacher to go over a certain lesson one more time, asking a teacher for help doesn’t mean you’re stupid. He helped me understand that everyone ask questions, and its ok to say “hey I don’t understand”. Michael brought me out of the shell that I had been hiding in for so long, hiding my creativity, my passion, and who I truly was. After his influence I began to notice a difference in my personality, I was emerging into the person that I always wanted to be, myself. I participated in class more, I spoke my mind, even if it wasn’t at the right time, and I became comfortable with who I was, and who I was becoming.

        The day I revealed my college list to my older brother, was the day he made me realize he only wanted what was best for me. I, of course, had Syracuse as my first pick, and four other colleges that I didn’t contain a true desire to attend. I noticed the anger in my older brother’s eyes growing, when he asked me “besides Syracuse can you honestly picture yourself at any of these colleges. And why do you want to go to these colleges”. I responded to his somewhat harsh toned filled question by saying “I know Syracuse is my own personal “perfect college” because it contains a strong art department. I also know that Syracuse will embrace my creative mind and spirit,  and guide it into growing into something more than just a “gift”. Impressed by my answer, he showed no hesitation in asking me, what about the other colleges. It was in the midst of that moment, full of silence, tension and intimidation, that I had realized that I had to put my all into my future, because no one else would, and that I needed to create a new college list. My older brother shared words that will always ring in my mind like an alarm clock, “you have all the control over your future, you have to put the effort in because no one else can do this for you, I can’t, mom, and dad cant, and this is something you have to do on your own.  “Michael helped me understand that I am my worst enemy; I am the one that can make or break my future, and that it is time for me to take control.
    My older brother has continuously guided me to the answer, to all of my questions in a subtle way. He would never give me the full answer; he would simply show me how to find the answer on my own. It’s not easy being a teacher, but my older brother does a great job at balancing being a great teacher, mentor and best friend.

personal statement

Life is the illness, art is the medicine. Art has helped me survive life’s most harsh moments from failing
my first drivers test, to getting my first, second, and third driving ticket. When I was younger I never
understood how to express myself or to release the anger that was building inside me. When life
knocked me down, I would cry, and allowed the frustration to be bottled up. In my darkest hours art
became my outlet. I painted, drew, and took pictures of images that expressed what I was feeling. I
learned that if I needed comfort or relief, art was my permanent release. Art reminded me who I was
when I didn’t understand who I was becoming. It didn’t matter how big my problems were, art was, and
is my personal cure. Creating art for the rest of my life is my dream and, when you have a strong dream
you have no option except to chase it. Whenever I feel as if I cannot push myself any farther, or do any
better, art hears my soulful cries, and wipes away my tears. Art is forever evolving never causing
boredom within its expanding boundaries. Life can bruise our innocent souls, and knock us down just in
the midst of our breakthroughs, but art is there to nurture us back to life’s battle field. Art truly is the
medicine to our diseased filled lives. Art gives us the chance to express what we suppress; the moment
of justice is met with art. Before the introduction of this new found medication, called art, I was
somewhat of a quitter. Everything in my life that I began, I quit, when things became challenging, or
didnt captivate my imagination long enough I would quit the task at hand. I have always been very
athletic, Ive dabbled in several different athletic activities. When I was younger I was truly destined to
be a basketball player, so I thought, I was only eight years old when I discovered I could dribble all my
frustrations away. The older I grew the more intense the sport became, the players became more
serious, and more aggressive. I knew all the basic skills to basketball, yet basketball simply wasn’t able
to confine me. Next I fell in love with Tae Kwon Do, which is the most popular form of martial arts in
Japan. I was superb in Tae Kwon Do, I advanced to the next colored belt one after another. As soon as
I earned my half red and black belt the feeling of boredom began to creep upon me once again. Tae
Kwon Do was no longer exotic or different, it was now repetitive. I quit Tae Kwon Do before I became a
black belt, and the only reason I had for quitting was illogical, I was becoming bored. What I didn’t
understand at the time was, even though things become boring, or difficult, it should never give me the
right to quit, because there will be things that I don’t want to do, but I will have to do. I’ve quit several
things however the only thing I have never given up on, is art, and I never will. My hunger for art will not
be fed, nor satisfied with any other college, it would only amount to its fullest potential at Columbia
College Chicago. I believe, everyone reaches a certain stage in their life, when they understand its
time for them to change, it’s time for them to begin something new. The college search is an imperative
moment. The college that a prospective student of higher learning chooses to attend says a lot about
who they are, and who they will become. I, for one, searched long and hard, before finding the school I
truly knew I wanted to attend. After reading the history and majors Columbia offered, I know Columbia is
where I belong. No other school will adhere to my creative side like Columbia will. Columbia is my new
beginning. It is for this reason, and having a strong passion that I know I would be the best asset for
Columbia College Chicago. Several colleges question the student as to what they can bring to their
particular college, and I know I can bring a positive attitude, an even wider range of creativity along with
my drive and focused personality.

internet

     The information that we as people have access to is unlimited, for the imperative fact that the internet gives us every access, and opportunity to receive an answer easily. The internet is used for several different reasons, good and bad, the internet has allowed us as a people, and society to have easy access to the things that use to take hours, and hours among research papers, and books to discover a simple answer to. No longer do we need to use the dictionary, to look up words, or run to the store, and get our film developed, everything is controlled by a click of a button, so is this good or bad?
         The advancement of technology has brought us very far, however have we honestly gone far, or are we regressing? The computer has allowed us to socialize, and date through internet social networks and dating services, but this isn’t always a good thing. This is only a disadvantage, because if people spend their time socializing on a computer through the internet, they begin lose their people skills.  Eventually they will lose the ability to carry on a conversation with someone face to face, because they are no longer exposing themselves to this sort of imperative interaction. I believe that if you are someone who spends an abundance of time on the computer, dealing with social networks you may not have had the chance to fully develop social skills.  As I asked before, has the advancement of technology, upon the internet brought us far as a society, or have we regressed, the answer is simple. We as a society have begun to regress, several years ago around 100 B.C., people didn’t speak proper English, because they were cavemen, not to say that we as a people were inferior, but we were not exposed to proper English. However what is our excuse now? We are past our caveman days, and it is now 2010, our downfall was when we began to plan our schedules out around our hourly involvement with the internet. If people would look up from the computer screen, that has hypnotize them, they would realize that there is a world outside the computer screen, it is called life.
      People who use the computer most likely feel differently about my previous statements above. People who use the internet repetitively, don’t comprehend the effects that they are receiving from using the computer too much. They don’t realize that using the internet affects their social skills. If every individual who excessively used the computer, would minimize their involvement with the computer, and entering a virtual, and hypnotizing world, they give themselves a chance to develop the social skill that they most likely lack, and understand how to interact with people.

paradise

Walking on the soft brown sand, allowing the wild aggressive winds to caress my skin, and push my hair back gracefully. Being here looking out towards the endless horizon face to face with the open ocean, taking pictures of its beauty, gives me sense of tranquility. I brought my Nikon camera along with me to help captivate, and remember every bit of this scenery, however I don’t think I will need a camera to help me remember the beauty that this place posses. There is no place I’d rather be, the sun is gently wrapping me up in its warmth, and all I hear are the crashing waves against the coffee brown rocks. When I was younger I had dreams about vacationing and visiting a beautiful place like this and now I’m here and I never want to leave. The blue sky and fluffy clouds are beautiful, they pass by elegantly, and they stop for nothing, when they come across another cloud they intertwine with the other cloud, moving on a one big fluffy marshmallow.  This place is a mixture between what I picture as my utopia and heaven.  As soon as I stepped foot on the smooth sand, the oceans graceful ,and serene glow begin to illuminate my soul. I swam in the deep blue ocean allowing the careless water to cleanse my mind, nourish my body, and uplift my soul. Looking up at the sky scraping palm trees, examining every grass green leaf that the tree posses, I begin to wonder if there is another place as peaceful as this one. This is what I have always pictured when I thought of my ultimate paradise.

obesity

Obesity is not only an issue with your physical health, but also your mental health. It is hard enough to battle with your health, but to deal with your mental health is even harder.
    Someone diagnosed as obese has a lot to deal with physically and mentally, especially if they are under the age of twenty one.  It is especially difficult on those who are younger, because it becomes unavoidable when children tease them, or pick them lastly to participate in physical activities, when they attend school. Several people fail to realize being obese is not a selected lifestyle, meaning people who are obese do not choose to be obese, nor do they enjoy being obese.
  Society also looks down on those who are overweight in general. People who look down on overweight or obese people have the same common assumptions about that person which is, they are lazy and pathetic. I do not feel as if anyone even if they are skinny, short, tall overweight, nice, or mean, have any right to look down on anyone. It is not anyone’s place in society to judge someone based off of their, physical appearance. Obese men, and women have to deal with society installed list of stereotypes about the way they look on a daily basis. They have to deal with the awkward silences that they are greeted with when they enter a room, or the dirty stares they receive while walking down the street. Dealing with this on a daily basis is extremely difficult, and it can begin to take a toll on someone’s self esteem.
       I believe that obese men and women receive a certain amount of discrimination. Obese people get teased about their physical appearance, whether it’s behind their back, or to their faces. Also certain jobs will discriminate against an obese person simply because he or she doesn’t fit into society’s image of health, and beauty. I feel that being obese is challenging, but if obese people felt like they had a support group, or didn’t have society there to beat them down every day, they wouldn’t battle with  low self esteem, they would feel encouraged to lose the weight, or at least be comfortable with who they are.

Friends

Most people when placed in a new environment or an unfamiliar place, they are drawn to people that look or demonstrate similar qualities that they themselves posses. This is one way to meet friends, but sometimes we should make the effort and step outside of our comfort zones and meet someone outside of our classification of “the norm”.
  People often make friends that share the same racial background, financial background, sense of humor and music interest. Sometimes when people make friends who don’t share the same qualities as them, the friendship and connection can be stronger, and people from different backgrounds, who don’t share similar qualities, can teach each other things. When you’re exposed to something other than your standards, and common experiences you allow yourself to become more open and become aware of things you didn’t pay attention to before. However you cannot meet anyone who doesn’t share your same interest or background, if you’re not open to do so, you also must be open to change.
  People who don’t share the same interest or background, can become friends, because they could share similar outlooks on life, and sense of humor. I feel that when you become friends with someone who isn’t like you, or who may be your complete opposite, your friendship is stronger and last longer.  I feel typically these relationship last longer because, you have to take more time in understanding the other person, because you guys don’t share common interest or backgrounds. People can learn so much about other cultural backgrounds, and they become more aware of things that are outside of their comfort zones when they befriend someone who isn’t like them.

outdoors

The beauty of being outdoors isn’t fully appreciated by those who are not exposed to nature. Spending time outdoors truly allows a person to spiritually become centered and appreciate nature. I feel that becoming one with nature helps you become one with yourself.
     People, who live in urban cities, miss out on life’s innocent beauty. The untouched beauty that is held outside of the city, which we know as nature, isn’t appreciated by people who live in large cities. People who live close to nature wake up from the long lasting bird songs and the whistling of the wild winds. However when you live in urban areas, deep within the city, you wake up to honking noises, from angry people in cars during the everlasting traffic jams, trains and buses coming and going, and garbage trucks ruining a working persons last five minutes of sleep.  When someone glances outside of their windows in the city, they are greeted with blue, green, red, brown, white, and black cars that pollute the blue skies, and turn them into gray skies. Unfortunately during the night hour in the city, you will almost never be graced with the beauty of the midnight skies, and the forever glowing stars.
       Nature has a distinct smell. The smell is warm, and embracing it somewhat smells like fresh air filled with curiosity and innocence, blooming flowers, and wildly growing grass. A great experience is achieved when one truly makes a connection with nature. As a kid I use to go camping with my family and friends. When I was outdoors camping, sleeping under the midnight sky and looking up at all the stars illuminating the sky like diamond on a newly engaged woman’s finger, I felt nothing but peace. However it was hard to sleep inside the tent because the ground was so hard, but when I arose to meet with nature once again in the morning, the hard nights were worth it.

traveling

                                                    Traveling
       Who needs to take time off to travel when you can travel while attending college? I believe everyone needs to gain the experience in traveling outside of their native land. Traveling is an experience that is imperative to encounter, because it illustrates the fact that life is much more than what we have been exposed to in our native lands. However, I do not feel you must take a year off before entering college, or take off work in order to gain this experience.
     Several people are misinformed about the full college experience. During the college years, they offer a “travel abroad program”, which basically allows students of higher learning to go outside of the United States and study “abroad” anywhere. You are not receiving the full college experience unless you travel abroad. It is not necessary to take a whole year off right after high school. If you are a high school student you should enter college, and through your college, study abroad to places from Australia to Africa. Sometimes when people take time off, and explore something more rewarding such as traveling abroad, they will not have any desire to come back. I believe, studying abroad before entering college, or taking time out of work in order to travel, is somewhat of a distraction. This is a distraction, because if you do not attend college the following year of your graduation, then it is somewhat harder to gather all of your high school transcripts up for entrance into a college.
       As for taking off of work in order to travel, it is not a wise decision either. It is not a wise decision, because you will not receive any money while traveling to your destination. Also it can be a burden to your boss, to allow you to take time off in order to fulfill you lifelong dream in traveling. Even if your boss does give you time off, to travel he most likely wouldn’t allow you to take as much time as you would need to explore a foreign land. When traveling, you need a certain amount of time to taste the culture, understand the land, and its people, a simple break would not allow anyone to know all of the above.
        I know that once I graduate from high school, I am going to attend college, and within my college I will travel outside of the United States. Possibly to do charity work, in places that need it most. I would love to visit Spain, Africa, and eventually Alaska. I simply would choose to travel while attending college, because it would be challenging for me to graduate from college, receive a job, and then eventually search for the time to fulfill my lifelong dream of traveling. It seems like such an inconvenience to take a small portion of my time out of my job to travel whereas, I could simply travel abroad through my college, and that way I would have up to six months to study, experience the culture, and food of a foreign land.

swimming

        
                                                     Swimming
          Take a deep breath, and sink into the bottomless sea blue pool. It was the best summer of my life; I turned eleven years old, and just moved to Los Angeles, California. Before my move to Los Angeles, I had no idea how to swim, my dad tried, and tried to teach me to swim, but I still found it difficult.
      One sunny summer day I worked up the courage, and bravery seemed to rush through my veins. I entered the cold pool; the water slowly began to rise up toward my kneecaps, and eventually to my shoulders. As the water level began to take over my body, the ultimate test came; I took a deep breath, and went beneath the watery horizon. I began to count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, all of a sudden I lost control of my breath.
         I inhaled the water so quickly. Water shot straight up my nose, and felt like it hit my brain. I darted above the water, and was finally put out of my watery misery. I flew out of the pool, and grabbed the warmest towel, and dried off. I looked back at the pool, and was somewhat sad about my devastating defeat against the pool. My nose still had at weird tingly feeling. I left the pool that day feeling like a quitter, but I knew I would come back with a new, and braver attitude.

SuperBad

My Name                                                                                                                        My last name
My Teacher Name
Creative Writing 5th
07.October.2010
                                                   SuperBad
  There are several movies that are spectacular, however there is only one movie that I feel everyone must see, SuperBad. SuperBad is by far the funniest movie I’ve ever seen. I, for one, love comedy movies, because they are uplifting, and they always seem to make me feel good. I’m not a big fan of sad movies because they always leave me feeling hopeless and movies aren’t supposed to do that to anyone.
  SuperBad debuted out in 2007. The movie revolved around three young men who were in the process of wrapping up their last year in high school; they realized that they needed to end high school with a “big bang”. Determined to fulfill their ultimate experience of high school, they decided to attend a  graduation party, and in order to impress a few girls, they volunteered themselves to bring the alcohol. One of the boys decided to get a fake id, and purchase the alcohol. I don’t want to spoil the movie, but someone ended up spending a wild night with the police, and someone else realized how life can change right in front of you, without you even noticing. Either way through the chaotic comedy, there was a message behind the movie. The message was to live life in the moment, and be yourself. The movie also touched the subject of how hard it is to part ways with friends through graduation. Throughout all of the trials, and tribulations the boys charismatically pushed through their riotous night of fun, and ended their high school days with satisfaction.
         SuperBad isn’t simply a funny movie that you’ll soon forget, watching SuperBad is an experience that everyone needs to encounter at some point in their life. SuperBad, in my opinion, is appropriate for people thirteen, and older to watch. However SuperBad is rated R, and actually is only appropriate for people seventeen, and older. Even though the movie is touchingly hilarious for most people who viewed the movie, it was especially touching to those who are preparing to graduate, or enter a new stage in their life. The movie was especially touching to them, because  they can relate to the boys, and facing their last goodbyes. In the movie the boys realized that they were about to enter a new world, something completely different from their original comfort zones. The movie teaches everyone that you can live your last days of high school wildly, and excitingly, but at the end of the day you still will be faced with a new tomorrow, and that change is inevitable.
   It’s amazing that a simple comedy can contain an underlying, serious message. The movie definitely, was worth the money, and I would recommend anyone to watch this movie, because there aren’t too many moments in the movie that you won’t find yourself laughing. The movie will leave you ready to live your last night’s of being in your comfort zone to the fullest, and the next day you will be ready to take on your new challenge, and you will be ready for the inevitable, change.

awards

I've never won any awards but I did get recognition once when I was in second grade for at poem I wrote. I wrote a simple twelve-lined poem about the clouds, I described how they looked, what I thought they would feel, and smell like. I entered my poem in an art contest and I received second place for the writing portion of the contest. Even though I didn't get first place I was still happy because it meant a lot to me to get feed back about my work.

my cousin

If I could spend a day with a extended family member I would spend it with my cousin. I would spend it with my cousin because I rarely ever see her and when I was younger me and her were actually somewhat  close. After I moved we became more distant because we didn't see each other anymore not even on thanksgiving, or Christmas. She and I would go to six flags and spend our day there riding on all the rides, and just having fun.

haiku

The ball is rolling
The ball finally falls down
A new ball is here

Release your own soul
Unleash the passion within
Be deeper than you

Quack quack goes the duck
Meow meow goes the little tiny cat
Ruff ruff goes the dog

Erase the chalkboard
Write something that make some sense
Write on the board please

Life is at huge bear
Claw claw goes the mean old bear
Kiss kiss goes the bear

Run for your own life e
Run faster than the next person
Jump high for your life

Listen to the wind
Let it embrace your own skin
The wind is blowing

Cook cook goes the chef
Feed me says the mean old man
I still wa5nt some food

The air smells funny
The air freshener is nice
We need more of it

Little towel run free
Free as you want to be
Little towel your not free

My Sandwich

If I had to invent any sandwich I would make a cranberry bologna sandwich. I would first have wheat bread, because I don't eat white bread, and plus wheat bread is healthier for you. Then I would put mayonnaise, and mustard mixed with honey. Next I would have turkey bologna, because I don't eat pork. Turkeys much better for you also. Next I would, but either dried cranberries or cranberry sauce on the sandwich. Last but not least i would put some lettuce and zesty sauce from burger king on the sandwich.

invisibility

I would love to have the ability to become invisible whenever I wanted to. If I was invisible I would trip people and mysteriously knock things down to scare people. I would also hide peoples most valuable items, like their cell phones, money, clothes, shoes, ipods, and laptops. I would also help people with my powers.

? on the Moon

I would like to visit the moon because i think the moon is so beautiful. I would like to camp out at the moon and spend the night there and roast some marsh mallows and make some hot dogs. i would take at least a thousand pictures on the moon, me laying on the moon, me sitting on the moon, me jumping on the moon,me sleeping on the moon, me playing on the moon, and me walking on the moon. I would also like to visit the  moon because I would love to go somewhere other than earth, if the sun wasn't as hot as it is i would like to visit the sun also.

Money Money Money

Its hard for young people to earn money. But some ways we can earn money, is doing chores around the house such as washing the car, walking the dog, doing the dishes, dusting the furniture, vacumming the house, washing the dogs, mop the kitchen, and bathroom floors, clean the showers, clean the bathroom mirrors,clean the bathtub, clean the sinks in the bathroom and the kitchen, and making sure our rooms are clean. We can also have a car wash with some of our friends and divide the money up equally amongst ourselves. We could also sell candy, such as, snickers, twix,hersheys, milky way, twizzlers, sour patches,air heads, baby bottle pops, almond joys, and also chips.

the baby dragon

Once upon a time there was a dragon that was born on Saturn. The dragons name was baby, because he was much smaller than the rest of the dragons, he was very curious and adventurous. As he got older all his friends began to fly but he didn't know how, so he spent most of  his days trying his hardest to learn how to fly. All his friends would play around on the milky way but he didn't know how to get there without flying one day a bigger dragon asked him if he really wanted to learn how to fly. Of course baby wanted to learn how to fly so he told the big dragon yes sir i do, the big dragon then taught him how to jump. Baby began jumping as high as he could, after awhile baby could jump higher than any other dragon, but he still couldn't fly. The big dragon taught him how to flap his wings extremely fast. Soon enough baby flapped his wings faster and harder than any other dragon on the planet, but he still didn't know how to fly. The next week baby expected the big dragon to teach him how to fly, he was surprised when the big dragon didn't show up, to give him his flying lessons.Instead the big dragon left a letter explaining why he left, he told baby he left because he taught him everything he needed to know in order to fly, and that now he had to do it on his own. Baby was somewhat upset at first, but understood the message of the letter, he jumped, and jumped, and began to flap his wings hard and fast, and he began to fill himself gravitate above the ground. Baby learned how to fly.

Winter

My favorite season is winter because I actually like the cold weather more than the hot weather. I hate the summer time its always too hot and even when you do wear shorts and tank tops its still hot. However when its winter time and you put two coats on your warm. During winter time when I was younger I use to enjoy sledding, snowball fights, and ice skating. Now that I live in California there's not much to do in the winter time except for enjoy the cool weather while it last. I really like wearing winter clothes, like sweaters, sweatshirts, and long sleeves.
