Red, when you see red your heart starts pounding and your veins start pumping as you think of your current crush. As you see the color red you start having this feeling that you have when your with him/her. As you get this feeling you start to smell the smell of sweet roses and as your mouth waters you taste fresh strawberries on a hot day after spending the day with the one you have strong feelings for. As you are thinking about the one you have feelings for, your starting to get a tingling feeling in your hands and lips while you are craving strawberries. Next you start to hear your favorite song blasting in the background while your wanting to see your crush hug you again as they did when you said bye and as you see the color red, you realize you wish you hadn't said good-bye.

Competition is a major function in our society. Without competition, the sellers cannot have this extra push to sell their product rather than the competitors. Also without competition there would only be one of everything for example soda, if coca cola didn't come around when pepsi did there would be no sprite or cherry coke, or diet pepsi. Competition can have a downside too, some people can become to competitive and only thrive to be the best and nothing else. That can result in blowing off people by trying to win win win all the time and never stop until you had won at least one game. Sometime competition in healthy because it could be a little friendly game and you can get closer to someone. For example, my basketball team , if there was no competition we would have no other schools to play against and we would not thrive to be the best. With that being said, competition is a major part in our society and should never change.

The one thing that I have took that I have learned in the classroom and integrated it into my nonacademic life is my vocabulary words. The reason why I have integrated my vocabulary works in to my nonacademic life is because when I am having a conversation with someone of high importance to me, I want to sound educated when I converse with them. Also , when I am trying to argue with someone and I want to defeat them with words, I can just simply remember my vocabulary words and defeat them by saying words they have no clue on what the definition is. In conclusion, the one thing that I have took that I have learned in the classroom and integrated it into my nonacademic life are my vocabulary words.

If I had the responsibility to decide where one million dollars should be spent to improve conditions somewhere in the world I would choose America because that is were I will live forever. The places I would choose for the money to go is to education, charities, and foster homes for the children to decide what they want to do with their individual money.

If I had the chance to bring back an item in the early stages of life it would have to be a basketball. The reason why I would choose a basketball is because I love the game of basketball and if I were to bring it back to a primitive time, I could teach them how to play and it could be the main sport in the future instead of football. The reason why I would want basketball to be predominant is because the game of basketball is the most athletic sport that is out there. Basketball players are moving all the time and you work every muscle on your body. From working your legs by running and being in a defensive stance to shooting three pointers or having your hand up calling for the ball at the post. In conclusion, if I had the chance to bing and item back to a primitive time I would choose a basketball so it could become the essential sport in the future.

If I were to describe myself as a quotation I would choose the quote "Live every moment , laugh every day, and love beyond words." I would choose that qout to describe myself because I love to laugh everyday every second of my life to be happy.

Last, I would choose that quote because I'm a lover, I cannot hat anybody in this world because they are human beans and I would stingily dislike to be hated and I would try to change that hatred you had towards me because I am a nice person. In conclusion , I would choose the quote "Live every moment , laugh every day, and love beyond words." because it describes how i am personality wise and physically wise.

If I had the chance to create a holiday I would choose Purple days. Each day of the week starting on Sunday, you would have to start with socks and shoes and start your way up on just wearing purple. You are required to wear purple but you are not required to wear just purple clothing. The rules are that you go have a normal week but when the clock hits 3pm you have to shout PURPLE! as loud as you can. Who ever is the last person to shout purple has to do the purp dance. The purp dance is a dance when you stand on one leg and try to sit down perfectly on the floor with purple high heels on. Those who wish to not participate in shouting purple must wear a hat with three pointed purple stars on top and wear gloves that are purple with Bruno Mars on them. That outfit tells everyone that your not interesting enough to play a friendly game. If I had the chance to create a holiday, I would choose a holiday named purple days and it would lie on October eighth through the tenth.

The best advice I have ever received is by my brother. He said " good, better, best never let it rest, until your good is better and your better is best." He got that quote from an athlete name Tim Duncan and that quote has made me what I am today by making me push myself until I can go no more and when I can't go no more I push a little more. The reason why I choose that quote is not only I love it but its because my brother told me it and because it has brought my spirit up whenever I feel like I can not succeed. I will always use that quote whenever I am going to quit for anything i'm trying, no matter what. In conclusion, the best advice I have ever received is to keep on pushing's yourself until you reach that point when you can't go no more further, then push yourself a little more.

Hello, my name is Sarah Elizabeth Bolles and I am your new roommate. I am very athletic and I can ball you up in no time. Im very energetic and I love to hang around friends and have a nice time. My favorite color is purple and I am not girly. As I said before since I'm athletic I love to constantly move because I can get bored easily.

The only exception is cheese because even though I hate the smell I can eat cheese on some sorts of things with some sorts of stuff, but it cannot be by itself. My favorite singer of all time is Bruno Mars and will love him always. My favorite actor is Mater , most famous movie is Cars and Cars 2. I also like the smurfs so if you want to get me a stuff animal of a smurfs I won't mind a bit. So I can't wait to meet you andI hope we get along.

"He does not possess wealth, it possesses him" can have so many meanings but the one thing I take from that quote is money controls you even though you may think it doesn't. Money also changes you in so many ways from your attitude to your personality. I believe that money can destroy people even though they have a mansion with a husband and three cars with a personal butler for each floor in their mansion. I think this quote is trying to say that someone who is rich should keep therselve on check because money will change you although it could be the best thing you think you have had so far in your life. In conclusion i believe the quote "He does not possess wealth, it possesses him" means money is a cruel cruel thing and if you don't realize it sooner you will become a poor man within minutes.

The recent risk I have taken was deciding to play two sports at the same time, water polo and basketball. The reason why I choose to play two sports was because i live basketball and I will never stop playing but I also wanted to start a new sport. My only other option was water polo and I love to swim. The impact I believe that playing two sports is I would become more athletic and improve my responsibility as an athlete. Also i believe that if I can achieve my goal at plain two sports at the same time, a lot of people will take me more seriously when I say I'm going to do something that they don't believe that I can pull of and they will most likely believe in me. In conclusion, the most recent risk I have took is the decision to play two sports at one time.

My national concern is marriage. There is a big issue on marriage about who can marry who and who you can't marry but really, why does it matter. If they love each other enough to get married why stop them. Why is it that a man and a women can get drunk who barely know each other and want to get married and there is no problem. Also why is it not a problem when a man or women who have been married over five times and there getting married again for the sixth time but when a man and a man have been in a happy relationship for over two years and when they finally decide they want to get married it is this huge problem and to add to it , its illegal. My biggest concern is why are there so many dilemas on marriage.

Castle Park High school, a great place to go for an education with our fantastic staff and students, but there are some downsides. If I could change our campus the town one things I would definitely change with no doubt in my mind are the tardy sweeps and the school safety. Tardy sweeps, the step the AP's took to make the students not miss class time. I believe the trade sweep is pointless because if we are even one minute late to class the staff makes you go to the quad and stand out there for around twenty minutes or more in line to be assigned Saturday school and instead of missing "Good morning students" from the teacher we miss a whole lesson. Next I would change the who is allowed on the campus during school hours. the reason why is because safety is the most important thing in school. In my opinion only the parents or family should be allowed on campus. In conclusion the two thins that would change in my school is the tardy sweep and campus safety.

School attendance, it is he most important part of your high-school days and should be mandatory to go. Without attending school there is no way you will be able to learn the materials needed to go off to college or just simply graduating from high school. Without the education, our country would be filled with uneducated children and soon enough uneducated men and women, without the eduction we need our nation could suffer a great amount and the reason why is because our nation would be down in technology and without technology, we won't be able to find the remedies to desieses and without that we can't find the cures the result in more citizens dying and without the citizens our nation would have no future. In conclusion, our school attendance should be mandatory because education, means everything.

If I had the ability to talk to one species of animal, it would be primates. I choose primates because their brain develops at a faster rate than humans and there brain is not that different than a human brain and with there fast brain development I would teach them how to speak, write, how to use technology, and all things that humans know how to do and more. Since primates live in social groups the primates that i would teach, would spread the knowledge around to other primates. Soon enough, the whole primate population all around the world would know how to associate with humans and they would be able to help us with inventing new product or improve the products we have. Also, I would ask the primates how they felt being in the zoo rather than being in the wild and if it was up to them, were would they rather be. With that said, if I could communicate with one species of animal I would choose primates because of their brain development.
