Final essay #1

" Madness in great ones must not unwatched go"
In any age madness can take over someones life. Children, teens or grownups. Everyone goes through hard stuff in their lives, and some people cant handle it. The ones that cant handle it, do stuff that effect other people. Also known as going "mad". I think thats it is important for our society to watch these people. Get them help.

People that go mad can change lives of innocent people. And i think thats one of the biggest reasons that we need to watch them. It doesnt matter the age of the person, they can find a way to get it done. People end up killing other people, killing themselves or hurting others around them. Its a serious situation that needs to be looked at closley.

People that are unhappy at a young age grow up to do terrible things. They become killers and murderers. They steal, cheat, do things that normal people dont do. They dont have a concious to tell them right from wrong. There only looking out for themselves and they dont care who they hurt.

FINAL essay # 2

In most movies, the relationship between a stepparent and stepchild are not good. They're usually awkward around eachother, one of them does not get a long with the other, or they just dont agree with eachother.You rarley see a movie where the stepparent and kid are close. They probably over react in movies .I dont think that every relationship is like cinderella and her stepmother. Because her stepmom was just mean and i dont think everyone can be that mean.

I dont have any personnel expierience really with this. I have both of my parents and there still married so i dont have any step brothers or sisters. But my mom has a stepdad. But technically he was like her real dad. Her real dad was a really bad guy, and her mom, my grandma, remarried. She grew up with him there her whole life. They got a long. He was always there for her. It wasnt like any of those movies where the father and daughter dont get along.

Different people have different situations. In every family there are obstacles and barriers you need to overcome. But when you have people that are from two different families, theres even more that you need to work on. In some situation, it's two whole new families coming together, with new parents and also new kids. In those situations you need to learn to become more flexible and be able to work with the other people. I think that you need to be more patient and more understanding to. Both families need to be on the same page and know whats going on.

Although there are disadvantages with new situations like this, there could also be advantages. You get to meet new people. You can get double the money and presents as before, because you have twice as many parents. Yoy have more people that could love you. You can get closer to your real parents because you get to spend more time with them. I think that there could be as many if not more advantages as disadvantages in this kind of a situatuion.

Although i dont have any expirience with this , i think i have an ok understanding of it. Im thankful that i dont have to go through any of it with my family. I think it's important for married people to work through hard situations so there kids dont have to go through having stepparents. In some cases things like that just happen though. There are lots of obstacles to work at but in the end, they can be overcome.

Thinkker/ Doer

I think im a thinker and a doer, depending on the situation. A lot of the time i get stuff done, but then sometimes i just think about stuff that i would like to do, and never get around to it, or chicken out and dont do it.
In some situations i know that i need to get stuff done. for example, in sports, when i know i need extra practice, i do it. or In school, when i know i need to get my homework done i do it.But on the other hand when it come to other stuff i just think about it and dont really do it. Like if it has to do with a guy, or if i want to fight somebody, i just think about it.
So all in all i dont think that im a thinker or a doer, I think im a thinker and a doer. And i believe that that evens everything out pretty well.

parents and kids

I think that there is a certain extent to which parents should 'spy' on their kids. First i dont think that they should spy on their kids at all. I think that they need to have an open enough relationship that they are able to talk to their children and be able to figure out whats going on in their lives and what they are doing. They should be able to trust their kids and believe that they are really doing what there doing. But on the other end of that, the children need to be able to earn their parents trust and not lie to them or give them a reason to 'spy' on them.
I believe that if a child fails to earn their parents trust, then it is nessecary for the adult to spy on their kid. To make sure that they are being safe. If it's for their own saftey, i think its nessecary, but if they are just doing it to be nosy, then i dont think it should be acceptable.

maxed-out

I believe that once this recession end people arnt going to be as tight with their money as they are now. The only reason they are now, is because they have to.Once people can spend money again, and not have to worry about losing their jobs, or not having enough money, there going to go back to how they use to spend.They might last a while after the recession, but if the economy becomes good again, then it will only take a couple years for people to go back to normanl.


Some people might be smart enough to save there money, just incase things go back to how they were.But i think most people are going to keep spending more money then they have. And then there going to lose their jobs again probably and everyones just going to get screwed over again.


My family doesnt really change the way we spend. Some things we do, but most things we dont. We never really spent like a ton of money anyways so were pretty much good right now.

parents advice

My parents have given me a lot of advice throughout my life so far. One of the most important pieces of advice they have given me is to never expect anything from anyone. That if i want somthing to get done i have to do it myself.They taught me how to be independent and not to depend on other people to do stuff for me or get stuff done for me. I believe this advice is very important because in college and even after college i am going to have to be independent and learn how to do things on my own without counting on other people.I use this advice everyday. Especially during softball. I am trying to get a scholorship and i know that i am the only one that can make that happen. I cant count on other people to call the coaches or go out and practice with me. I have to make sure i get it dont myself. I can have help from my coaches and my family, but in the end its going to be me that makes it happen.So learning that i need to be independent and do all these things on my own, will help me in the long run with a scholorship.

Revenge

In the 2007 spring softball season,the varsity team was unstoppable.They were undefeated in league and loaded with power hitters and a killer defence. The team had made it to sections and they were to play Enterprise at our home field. After a lot a preperation, hard work, dedication,sweat and tears, West Valley thought they were ready for a victory.The game was tougher than what they were ready for and they didnt play to their potential. They ended up losing the section game on their home field, to a team that they should never have lost to.
After that game, the players swore that they would never let that happen again. And thats exactly what they said when the 2008 spring softball season came around again.We worked our butts off, scrimmaging when we could, getting into extra tournaments, conditioning and putting in long hours of practice. Our team got closer every team dinner and team activity that we had. After we won league, it was time for sections. And as always, we got to play Enterprise.
We were more prepared and excited for this game than we have been about anything all season. So this time around we started off the game with 2 homeruns to get us up. We ended up beating them 6-0. I would say that was revenge for our softball program.And now with the new season coming up in about 4 months, we have players practicing in the off season so when we come back for the section game again, we can kill bitches.

and then there was one

I agree with this article because i think that since all 3 automakers are suffering they might as well go together to make things better for them. They said that by the end of the year they will be broke if they keep things how they are. They dont have the money too keep building as many cars as they are currently, which is more then americans are even buying, so they need to produce less in my opinion.
If they keep things how they are, there going to go bankrupt, so they need to make a drastic change.All three companys are pretty much screwed right now, so i think they should come together and make the 3 dying businesses one really successful, powerful car making business.
The companies are losing a combined $30 billion just this year, $6 billion a month. I think that with those numbers being so high its clearly time for a change, and be able to get some of that money back so they dont screw over the whole economy.
