"We can shoot rockets into space, but we can't cure anger or discontent." -John Steinbeck

question- Which do you feel Americans should invest more in: space travel or mental health? Explain your choice.           I feel Americans should invest more of our time and money into mental health. Space travel is very cool and mysterious, I get why people love it and want to learn more about it. However, we aren't going to be able to even see space if we don't worry about the people living in our planet. Mental health I believe is way more important than space travel. Of course knowing more about space makes you feel satisfied and amazed and is important at times. But if we don't worry about us, we won't be here to be mesmerized over space and space travel.            From my personal knowledge, I know that we have been in a pandemic for the past 2 MONTHS. That is absolutely insane. We should not be worrying about space and space travel right now. We should be worried about stopping this virus and bringing the country planet back together again. As of now, I

After Quarantine Is Lifted

               After this quarantine is lifted, the first thing that I am going to do is go out with friends and go to the mall and get food. I have missed being able to hang out with my friends a lot. We used to always do fun activities together such as going to the mall and getting dinner. But even though it seemed so simple then, that's what I want the most now. Also, going to dinner is something that would be nice because all of the restaurants have been closed. My mom is a great cook but I still would love to be able to live my life and go out. This quarantine has showed me how much I need and miss a social life and especially my friends and loved ones.

Quarantine

https://makeameme.org/meme/when-you-think-d858d5334e At first when my state had officially released that we are no longer going to be attending school I was very excited. I thought that I was going to have the time of my life and it would be a quick school year right into what I thought was going to be summer. However, we have to do online classes which I dislike very much. It’s nothing against the assignments or the teachers, it’s just that it’s not nearly the same as attending school. I no longer get to see my friends and it eventually gets very boring doing schoolwork alone without any peers.  It's nothing like summer because I can’t hang out with friends at all and all the places that my family and I could go to are closed. So, overall, this whole quarantine is a very bad and boring experience for me. I used to think school was okay, but now that it’s gone, I want it back more than ever.  

The New Year

          Last year for me was the year of becoming really close with my friends. Since we are older now, our parents are more lenient of when and where we are. So, now we are able to hang out on a daily basis without having our parents hold us back. And that has really helped us create a very tight bond with one another.           This year for me will be the year of focusing on sports. This year I am really going to put all of my time and effort into practicing sports. However, this can be very difficult sometimes when you want a break. However, I believe if you are not hard enough on yourself, you won't see the improvement that you are hoping for. So, my 2020 will be devoted to practicing and playing volleyball, softball, and basketball. And as my travel coach always says, "The sport never ends, it always begins once the season is over." Basically this means that you never stop practicing and playing whatever sport it is no matter what time of year or if it is in or o

Charlie St. Cloud

Charlie St. Cloud , a movie about the blessing of life and your destiny in it. This movie reminds me to be grateful for everyone and everything in this world. Because for Charlie, his brother’s life was gone through one stop sign. Some may not, but I believe that everyone has a purpose in life. No matter what or how many obstacles you face, you should pursue what you have an instinct for, and feel is right. Love and life can begin and end in a blink of an eye. So, Charlie St. Cloud makes me passionate to find my destiny in life and to pursue what I love and have a great love for life while I still have it.             If I am being honest, the thing that drew me to watch Charlie St. Cloud in the first place was Zac Efron. Of course, if the main actor was not Zac Efron, I’m sure it still would have been a great movie. However, I have always had a liking for him because I grew up watching him in High School Musical . So, one day I looked up Zac Efron movies and Charlie St. Cloud

My Favorite Holiday

          My favorite holiday is very unusual and not a day that everybody considers a holiday. My favorite holiday is Christmas Eve. I love Christmas Eve because of the anticipation for Christmas morning. On Christmas Eve you feel very excited for whats to come the next day. Also, on Christmas Eve nights, my family still sets out cookies because I have a younger sister. So, it brings back lots of memories of the past Christmas's and brings hope for new memories.           Also, another reason why I like Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day itself is because all of my family comes together and celebrates on that day. I go to both of my grandparent's houses to celebrate on Christmas Eve. Also, my Aunt Brooke and cousin Peyton come here to celebrate. They live in the far west side of Iowa and are only 10 minutes away from Nebraska. So, since they are around 7 hours away from where I live, I only get to see them about twice a year, so, I cherish the moments when we are together.

Emoji Story

One day, my friends and I decided to walk around town. We were very surprised when we saw a dancer dancing around the streets. She was wearing a red dress and she kept doing lots of spins. We sat there watching her and we were starting to get a little dizzy just from watching her spin. Also, the music that was playing was not in our language, it was in Spanish. The music was blasting in our ears and it was horrible. However, the music did have a good beat in which the dancer could dance to. So, we decided to lay down, and as we lye down, everything starting twisting. All I could see was rapidly twisting clouds in the sky. I started to get quite a bit worried. So, I tried to relax and close my eyes. However, that did not help. The next thing I remember was a police officer shaking me awake. To this day, I do not know what happened to my friends and me that day. So, there is still some suspicion in our minds that that occurrence happened for a reason. However, you cannot tell a story
