Imagine white sand in between your toes as you drink coconut milk fresh from the tree as waves crash ten feet in front of you. You’re on a beach lounging in the sun while your friends are falling asleep in language arts. As a thirteen year old boy I got the chance to go and spend a week on the tropical island of Maui with my grandparents. I had to save up some money to get to go and by working all that summer I finally saved enough money. We started in the nearby town of Saint George and waited in the terminal for our little plane to arrive. We flew over Las Vegas and saw all the fancy hotels. Eventually we arrived in LAX to switch to the big jet to fly over the ocean. I’ve always been pretty good with directions, but in the noisy and chaotic bustling of that airport, I had no idea which way was out. All I saw were the faces and backs of people running around. Eventually I boarded the plane and flew to that mystical place known as Maui.

You are on a plane 10,000 feet up, and it is negative 4 degrees fahrenheit, with a 200 mph wind in your face, and there are 23 pounds of money attached to you, and 4 parachutes tightly strapped on your body. Would you jump? After threatening to blow up a passenger jet and getting his demands of $200,000 and 4 parachutes, Dan Cooper jumped out of a Boeing 727 on November 24, 1971 and was never seen or heard from after that. Dan was mistakenly said as D.B in a newspaper article and the name stuck with him ever since. There are theories that Cooper landed in a body of water and died because of hypothermia, or some say that he died after the jump and got eaten by wolves. The theory that's most likely proven is that D.B. Cooper survived his escape. There is anecdotal and physical evidence, and expert testimony that can prove Cooper’s survival.

When it comes down to the United States of America, are we really as patriotic as we say, when it comes to pledging for our country ? Explaining, that we pledge our self for this country everyday, so why are we going against the very foundation of our country? “ Our obligations to our country never cease but with our lives “ - John Adams, letter to Benjamin Rush, 18 April 1808 ( US diplomat and politician 1735-1826 ). John Adams, our 2nd president of the United States, stated we should never question our loyalty to the homeland ( United States Of America ). This raises the question “ Should players be allowed protest, during the National Anthem ? “ Currently, many U.S. citizens are very angered by the protest of NFL players protesting the United States anthem. Which enraged both non-protesters and protesters, but shouldn’t we be united as one, not individually and not pinned each other.

We all have sibling who we do not get along with. Some may make you want to rip your head off, others may make you want to squeeze them to death. Or another just stand out more than other because of how unique they are. For example, Leslie falls into the last category, she is a superstar that you would not miss when she walks into a room filled of people. This is Leslie Gonzalez..

Picture this, an intense basketball game with the score going back and forth for the past hour. By the end of the game both teams and every player, whether they were trying or not; received a participation trophy. Teens on sport teams should not just obtain trophies, but they should work hard to earn it. When everyone does not acquire a trophy it is teaching the teens to work hard through merit. Despite the idea of not all teens receiving trophies, some people think that teens should take the trophy either way as a confidence booster. In fact, there are more reasons why kids should not just take the trophy, but they should earn it and be rewarded for their great athleticism.

The United States army works arguably harder than any other Americans and they work to protect us so that we can feel safe in the land home to over 300 million people. Recently the National Football League has seen some very controversial behavior, during the National Anthem players have sat, kneeled, raised fists and embraced teammates who have done the following to raise awareness for police violence. But while doing this they have disrespected our army who are all over the earth protecting us so that we can do the things that we love such as playing football. I think that the players in the NFL should not be able to kneel during the National Anthem because it disrespects a country that is fighting so the people in our country can feel safe.

The issue with one’s personal seclusion coexisting with society’s public safety is that it cannot be transpiring. This controversy is a complex situation because with the extensive amount of cameras and microphones installed throughout everywhere you go, it is almost impossible to not be invasive of one’s privacy. The topic has silently existed for decades, however with technology enhancing at a rapid rate, the discussion has emerged and several writers have decided to explore the matter in depth.

We have grown accustomed to the wonders of clean water, indoor plumbing, laser surgery, genetic engineering, artificial joints, replacement body parts, and the much longer lives that accompany them. Yet we should remember that the vast majority of humans ever born died before the age of 10 from an infectious disease. S. Jay Olshansky.Genetic engineering is the deliberate modification of the characteristics of an organism by manipulating its genetic traits. As you may know, we have been eating foods that have been selectively bred by humans. Humans selectively bred organisms to develop or consist particular characteristics. One good example is dogs. Dogs are selectively bred wolves. Whether it is for a different size, look, ability etc, wolves were selectively bred and itis the dog we know today.Selective breeding keeps traits that are desirable, and over time it becomes different, which mostly have certain desired traits it was not supposed to have with natural selection. Artificial selection made animals and plants easy to use, easier to grow, and more useful to human. GMO can drastically reduce the amount of time and effort, which will benefit the environment and resources used. Some believe that GMO may disrupt the natural ecosystem, however, I believe that the benefits brought about by this technology outweigh such consequences. This can be for reducing a spread of disease, make organism's immune to disease, and use fewer pesticides.

Dreaming about a seemingly unachievable goal is easy, but there are people who persevere no matter the odds to achieve their goal and make their dream come true. President John F. Kennedy and Susan B. Anthony fought against seemingly impossible odds and made their dreams come true for the greater good of humanity. They both overcame all the challenges that were thrown on them, regardless of the difficulty. President John F. Kennedy and Susan B. Anthony likely encountered the most overwhelmingly difficult challenges of their lives and they were both filled with determination to change the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans and people abroad.

Courage and curiosity often lead a man to success. At age seventeen, a young man was driven by a vision to thrive in a foreign country with little money, a big heart and ambition to become the difference in his family. In Mexican culture, the United States is often idolized and “little Benjy,” was raised believing that he had no other option for survival other than earning dollars instead of pesos. Due to poverty, youth and no high status, Benjamin was not eligible for a VISA in the United States. He sold the only valuable possessions he had to be crossed in the Sonoran desert.

Despite, his illegal status Benjamin is an honorable worker, he pays his taxes, and is currently in the process of becoming a resident.

Paying attention to the words of your writing. Be sure you know what you're saying -- when you see yourself writing "it's the knowing that" or "I believe it's the case," ask yourself or other whether you really want to post this note before looking at your details. And once it's been through two or three group actions, you get the same distortion effect as in the game "Operator": Whatever you said may be unrecognizable. In addition, make sure your notes are nice clear word and logical. It's perfectly possible to write a paragraph that contains no errors in grammar or spelling, but still makes no sense whatsoever. This is most likely to happen when you're trying to impress someone by using a lot of long words that you don't really understand yourself.Finally, be pleasant and polite. Don't use offensive language, and don't be confrontational for the sake of confrontation.

A hot topic among Americans today, racial equality is a subject found in nearly every household across the nation. Isn't it ironic that sixty percent of people in America feel that whites and blacks need to work to stop the racism epidemic, however, fifty-six percent of all people think that people of color should not have to fight to stop racism? (PBS, 2017) The real question is on August 28, 1963, is this the dream Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had in mind?

Hundreds of rescuers die per year because they are trying to save a person from a dangerous situation that they got themselves into. They try to save people that get themselves stuck in a burning building, people that are drowning because they got themselves stuck in the current of the ocean, or even people that are being reckless on and fall into the crevice of a mountain. Shouldn’t rescuers save themselves instead of paying the price of a careless act of a person? Rescuers put their lives in crisis to save people from dangerous situations when there isn’t even a 100% possibility of them being saved. Services should not be provided to people because climbers are old enough and responsible enough to know what they are getting into, rescue equipment isn’t always reliable, and because innocent rescuers are putting their lives at risk to save other people.

High school are the memorable years before adulthood, they are the years to experiment, stress over nothing, and just in general find yourself. But with each year that passes by you learn new lessons, new morals which helps you get one step closer to finding you. As cliche as that might sound it is our reality.
