Fragile Fun
The sun shone down on the small above-ground pool, only brightening the face of eleven-year-old Reagan McBride. She has osteogenesis imperfecta, a disease in which your bones become delicate and easy to fracture(Billock). She is also paralyzed from the neck down, with constrained movement of her small and narrow arms(Billock). A grin spreads on her face as an otter swims through her hands, her eyes shutting with excitement and joy. Reagan and her family were taken on a journey through the San Diego Zoo, as requested by Reagan to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. An exclusive look at the animals in the zoo and she was off to her next adventure: Nurtured by Nature. Nurtured by Nature quickly became her favorite part of the outing,

I mean, they are only a small organization that makes children happy and preserves life. Why donate, right? No. Why not donate is the question. This organization works constantly to eliminate sadness and despair, just to give you the advantage of mental convenience. This charity is profitable but pursuant. They pursue knowledge, experience, and the feeling of knowing that you have helped someone who needed it. The sufficient gifts of knowledge that Nurtured by Nature provides can be in no question. No matter the number of people helped, this organization pushes on, never ceasing to amaze, gathering more and more into their national hug of confiding joy. This, my friend, is the purpose of such an organization.As seen in previous evidence, “In 2013 we provided over 175 otter/animal encounters, 72 of which were free of charge”(Nurtured). The Make-A-Wish Foundation’s children and patients have benefited from this organization, giving it yet another argument towards the logic of why Nurtured by Nature should continue. They are helping others to find sweet triumphs in life, and no reasonable sense in my mind would find a valid excuse for them to terminate that process. Could you imagine what your life would be like if you moped around all day, dull and weary of the world around you? Your life would be a continuous misery in which you could not escape. Darkness would cloud your vision until their was just no additional reasons for you to smile. Nurtured by Nature breaks people from that darkness, exposing them to rays of sunlight, little by little, until they find reasons to smile every second of every day. So many people have had a chance to experience such a eye-opening event. Now it is your turn. Stand up for the natural community and yourself by coming to Nurtured by Nature. You can donate to help save our otter friends, paying thanks to the light that they have so easily brought to you. Slick, cute, fuzzy, new
About seventy nine percent of families around the world have an animal that they love and share their life with. Most families have either a dog or a cat. These pets are loyal, kind, and loving. We bring them into our homes and take care of them. There are some animals who aren’t fortunate enough to have a family to love and take care of them. These animals are abused and mistreated every day. The Humane Society Of The United States has made it their job to protect these animals and prevent this cruelty before it happens. They spend eighty percent of all of their donations on protecting these poor animals. I believe that these animals deserve a chance to escape these horrible circumstances and find a family who will love and care for them. If you donate you will be a part of these animals lives. You will be giving them a chance to be happy in life. You will be part of helping them find a loving
What would you have done if you were stranded on a raft with two other men for 44 days with provisions to last less than 3 days? This is one of the easiest things Louie Zamperini had to endure in “Unbroken”, by Laura Hillenbrand. The most important thing to be learned from the life of Louis Zamperini is to never crack under pressure, because of his survival on a raft, how he withstood the cruelty of the bird, and how he survived through the torture of Japanese POW camps.
“If I knew about the things I was going to endure before I was captured, I would kill myself.” (Louie Zamperini). The biography Unbroken was written by Laura Hillenbrand was told about the famous Olympic athlete and World War Two POW Louie Zamperini. Louie was held in a number of POW camps across the Pacific and witnessed the true horrors of the Japanese guards who enforced the inhumane standards throughout these camps. Louie shared his experiences about the endeavor and became an icon back in the United States, but was still unraveled from his time in the camps and his captors. POW camps were the areas of holding prisoners who had been captured and the POWs were supposed to be protected by the Geneva Convention about quality of life and labor, but the Japanese thought otherwise of the quality of life POWs should have while apprehended.
People were mistreated during WWII and were tortured in POW camps. Louie Zamperini, a character and a real person from the book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, was in the army during WWII and had to go through the torture of being a prisoner at a camp in Japan. In the book Unbroken, Louie was going to be a famous Olympic runner until the Olympics were cut short when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and caused World War II to start. Louie drafted in the air force and crashed on a mission; he had to live on a raft for 47 days without any food or water. He was washed ashore on a Japanese island and became a prisoner of war. He then had to go through many painful experiences until the war ended September 2nd, 1945. Internees also had to go through harsh times during the war. Both POWs

“BOOM SHAKALAKA” hollered the announcer at the top of his lungs. Every time an shocking race had been completed in the finals session and a record was broken he hollered that. And He should have especially for this race… I won’t say that I thought it wouldn’t happen in front of my eyes but how was it possible at all, much less in front of my eyes.

Taxes are a necessary evil in any civilization. In order to keep the government running and pay for goods and services, like police and a defense force, everyone must pay their fair share so that money can be collected to foot the bill, so to speak. Social Security is one such service. The Social Security program helps seniors to be able to live in retirement and also helps the less fortunate who need government assistance for various reasons. While most citizens pay their fair share of the tax, there is a bias in the system towards the very rich. This bias makes the Social Security tax not only a recessive tax, but also one that unfairly burdens the less fortunate with the bulk of the costs. The tax
In my short years of living on this planet, I could tell you quite a few things. Not many like other more experienced people could, but a few. One such thought that I have in mind is that life is unexpected. Something that impacted you in a great way, was probably unexpected. A loved one dying, moving out of your house, an illness that affects your everyday lifestyle. Whatever it may be, I am sure it is there. The unexpected nature of life could be taken many different ways: good or bad? Let’s say one day you win the lottery. This is a perfect example of the unpredictability of life being positive. You didn’t think you win because who does anyway? But, that makes it even more of a surprise to you. Then, there is way of the unpredictability being horrible, or negative. Maybe, you go out for some normal thing in your car, then on the way you get into a horrific car crash. Yes, this is unlikely, but it is an example (that could happen), of the unpredictability of life being terrible. Whatever way you think of this, it is one of the many beauty’s of life. Because of this, it is best to not take things for granted. “The best things in life are always unexpected, because there were no expectations,” Quote from Eli Khamarov. As I stated, the sheer fact that your life is unpredictable could be good or bad; you don’t know which way you're headed. You may have an “idea”, but you will never know for sure.

If I were speaking to a three year old, I would be more specific and give options, such as, “Do you want to watch Mickey Mouse Club House or go outside and play on the swing set?” The child would then choose one of the two options. Whereas, if I were talking to a five year old, I would just say, “What do you want to do?” and they would think about what activities they typically do then tell me what they wanted. Three year olds still have trouble pronouncing words with multiple syllables, but by kindergarten, they basically have adult language nailed. A child’s age has a direct effect on their ability to string words together in a sentence; a three year old might say, “Me want cake”, but by age four they would say, “Please give me the cake.”

My word is strength. I picked this because in life you need to be mentally strong. If you have a tough job or test having a strong mind will help you concentrate because you are able to keep pushing instead of giving up. You also have to be mentally strong in sports. In cross country my dad told me to have a strong mind because most people you run against have the same training give or take a few who run outside for practice. He told me to run my race at the beginning and at the end make your mind think about only one thing and that is finishing hard. I would set a point where I would sprint with everything I had left and then some. I would not let my mind let me slow mind. He told me to have a strong enough mind to not stop and run fast enough
