Wake up, go to school, football practice in the afternoon, come home in the evening, shower, eat. But wait there’s more; chores, homework, all the while there’s a new Walking Dead episode on tv. How can one be so busy with school, sports, homework, home life, and still not have any free time? Don’t worry you’re not alone, there are teens just like you all over the nation, who are struggling to devote time to their curiosity or cultivating passion. So what can you do to undermine those struggles, and focus on your inner being? I believe that in order to preserve, protect, and grow one’s passion, an individual must be persistent, make friends based on their interest, and create an escape for themselves using their passion. The best way to grow your passion is having grit, and determination towards your goal. John Silva talks about human beings’ drive for information in his video The Ecstasy of Curiosity, “Human beings don’t care about spectacle. What they care about is ecstatic understanding… In other words, cognitive ecstasy.” Jason Silva refers to cognitive ecstasy as this natural drive in people that make them pursue their passion, even when the odds are against them. This determination, this persistence is embedded in all of humanity, some people just find it quicker than others. Being Persistent will allow you to become more productive, and it will become easier to devote your time to something you love. Another way to get involved with your passion, and ease your
Sometimes we learn something because it sparks our interest without knowing the journey we’re about to embark. It might be a short journey that can leave us wanting more or an extensive one in which it’s not something you just learn, but it becomes a passion. Without even knowing it, I started my journey learning how to play the violin out of curiosity and it ended up becoming something I am strongly passionate about.
Every single person on this earth has a passion. No, I am not talking about fruit. I am talking about is something that can put a person on top of the world or put a 40 ton wrench right in the center of a person’s gut. Passion. Comparable to a lot of guys in this world my passion is sports. Michigan State University athletics. Consequently, when a sports beat writer imposed that my team... my team 's defense was not “good” enough to compete at the highest collegiate level at the college football playoffs. Well, I just had to tell him why he was wrong.

The Oxford Dictionary defines “passion” as a strong emotion or strong love for something. Well then, I would say I am passionate about sports. To turn a passion into a career you must take certain steps in education and to develop special skills that are needed.

As there are many careers in the world, there is a career for anyone who has a passion.
Lauren scrambled forward, but her choppy steps were no match for the deep drifts. Icy snow fell over the top piping on her boots and packed around her socks. Although her leg muscles bulked at the cold and extra weight, she forged onward, her breath hacking against the wind.
The grind never stops day in and day out. It’s early in the morning and you’re going to school, followed by work or sports or maybe even both. After a long day, you finally come home, eat dinner, shower, text some friends and check social media. Before you know it, it’s 10 at night. Teens are struggling to maintain their academics with balancing their passions and work. As a student athlete, I find it hard at times to maintain good grades and pursuit my passions.
There are many drugs out here and it seems like there is something new out everyday. They come in many shapes, sizes, and forms which can be taken by pills/tablets, smoking, liquid, injection, and inhaling. I will be focusing on the drug Ecstasy. Ecstasy just so happens to be a combination of many drugs in one and comes in the form of a tablet, capsule, or powder and can only be made in labs. This has many street names such as: EX, Adam, Clarity, Eve, Lover’s Speed, Peace, Uppers, XTC, E, Party Drug, Essence, Hug Drug, etc. Doctors refer to this drug as MDMA, which is an anagram for the street name, Adam.
The most important “brain discovery” for me was #2. #2 was talking about some drugs may be the next step to curing mental health issues. At my freshman year, I had to research about drugs in my health class. I researched about Ecstasy, which is similar to LSD and MDMA. Ecstasy(and MDMA) was used medically at 1914 and the 1970s, but since it was too dangerous to use drugs, medical use was banned in 1985. What I found interesting about this topic which is also my biggest takeaway, is that drugs might come back to medical usage. The article has a quote saying, “The studies are showing big effects,”(Dr. Matthew Johnson) which I would agree with because it was used in the 1900s and it worked! Another quote saying, “The exciting thing isn’t just
She finally found the red door she was looking for and ran towards it. As soon as she went through it, she found herself in a narrow corridor. She kept running and entered the last door on the left. The suitcase she was carrying swung alongside her. The person chasing her sprinted as hard as she could, but couldn't reach her yet. After entering the door on the left, she found stairs and went up. The silver-haired pursuer realized the stairs went to the rooftop and the girl with the suitcase was there. Realizing she was cornered, since the other buildings were too far away to jump, she started the fight.
Secondly, the second main point to maintain your passion alive is to be curious and explore new ways to make you passion more interesting. A good example for this is in “The Ecstasy of Curiosity”, it states, “What humans care about is ecstatic understanding. Children experience this insatiable drive to understand and be curious”(Silva). What this piece of text evidence is saying is that people have a drive to understand things that are new and that they don’t know, which makes people want to understand something even

Through exploration of the world around us, one’s passions are born. Passions make a person who they are. Who I am is shown through my passion for dance, service and exploration.
Passion is intense and direct but deeply personal. My approach to love is the beauty of the sun rising on a summer day, the shaved chocolate that tickles your lip when you bite a Godiva truffle or the feel of a freshly pressed 100% cotton dress shirt. I love who I am when my heart connects with another. My career passion inhances the best part of my drive for success. I approach my constant need for information like someone taking dictation, with a need for detail. Software challenges, task changes and time management push me to be my best. My art speaks through the painted red lips of a 50’s burlesque dancer. It’s beautiful yet delicate, revealing to the eye but vulnerable to the subject and beautiful in cosmetic.
