"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 think space is the last thing that we should be worrying about because it's not even in our planet. If there was a meteor or something that could ruin us, then I would invest some time and energy into that. But as of now, we need to worry about the problems we have here and how to solve them.

 I was drawn to this photo because it represents where I live and how grateful I am for it. The United States is the land of the free and I am very thankful that I get to have that freedom, because I know some others are not as fortunate to have that. Also, since Veteran's Day is coming up, it reminds me of the brave heroins who fought with their lives for this flag to fly in the air. So in the end, this picture represents a lot about where I'm from and the background behind it. I was drawn to this second picture because it is very aesthetically pleasing. The contrast of the gardening boots to the nature behind has a very delightful look to it. Also, I took this picture when my classmates and I went on a walk. So, it just so happened that these boots were set in that spot by someone else. That is another reason why it's kind of cool, because of how natural they look.                                                       I was drawn to this third and final

Emoji Story

Image
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

My Favorite Holiday

Image
          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.
