My Sophomore Year (Final Exam)

Another school year has gone by, but this one for some reason is very different and amazing. There are times when people enjoy going to school and this was one of those years. People say that your high school years are some of the best years of your lives and I am starting to believe in that. I want to do and achieve as much as I can, so when I look back there are no regrets. There is a famous quote “What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.” By George is how I feel after this school year. Knowledge would be after me, but now I am after knowledge.

Another year of school had started and I was very enthusiastic to go and meet all my teachers. This year’s teachers were all so different and kind. Several of my teachers had thought in a different manner, but I learned from all of them. Last year when I was a freshman I could not nearly write as well as I can today. I really like the idea of blogs in my English class and computer’s class. In a way I learned how to use the internet better for sharing creative ideas. I don’t recall a teacher ever telling me good job and shaking my hand, but that happened this year. I have come a long way in reading, science, Algebra 2, Computers, Spanish, history, sociology, and especially writing. I have written more essay’s then probably my whole middle school years combined.

I have grown academically, but this year I grew physically. I can still remember when I was about four feet eleven. Then, something happened and all of a sudden I stand now five feet six. Growing physically just doesn’t mean that people get taller, but all kinds of things change like your face, start to grow hair, and get muscle. Last year I could have barley benched tens on each side, but after a year of hard work I have gotten that up to twenty fives on each side. Now I can probably hit harder for football and maybe achieve my dreams of becoming a professional Football player.

The greatest thing that I learned this is that humanity is a danger to this planet. All humanity has done for the past generations is cause damage, kill other living things, miss up the life cycles of animal, Forest fires, take over other animals soil, and recently spill thousands of gallon of oil into the ocean. Humanity is going to be this first creature that destroys themselves with their own hands. I have never in my fifteen years of living seen a dog fight another dog because of his or her color. So why do humans do that, they have so much knowledge, but they still ripe each other apart. I have also learned that everybody has a voice that one vote can make a difference.

This was a year of knowledge being a benefit. I can now love where I come from even though most people don’t respect that, but at least I know that I come from a great place. I can breathe freely knowing that I have accomplished a lot this year. I have reached my goal of having a 4.0 GPA. Now all I see ahead of me is a great life full of passion, and knowledge. Going to Penn State to play football, and become a doctor, which will make everybody that I know and love proud. I see a great future and nothing holding me back. Now I await the adventure of my next school year.

Tiger In Rain (Anything essay)

Once upon a time in the western valleys of Antarctica there lived a young beautiful princess. When she was born she kind of looked like a cute cat so they named Cathleen. She was very happy of her life and loved happy ending fairy tales. She had always dreamed that her prince charming would come riding on a horse and sweep her off her feet. She had big, green eyes. She always had her hair down and dressed like a royal Hines that she was. There was nothing wrong with her accept, whenever it rained she turned into a vicious tiger and just wanted to have at least one person for supper.

One cold snowy day she took a ride on her white horse. She rode faster than the wind as the snow touched her warm skin. Suddenly the snow was starting to turn in to rain and it was time for her to head home as fast as she can. But it was too late, on her way home she started transforming as the rain touched her body. She started growing long claws, she started to gain muscle. Her skin started to turn orange with black stripes. Cathleen’s ears grew big and she started to grow whiskers. With a big roar she jumped off the horse and ran ten times faster.

It was hunting time for her. She rushed back home, but there was nobody there all her servants had gone home. She went out of the house roaring with anger. She went all the way to the city to find somebody. By the time she got there the rain was almost about to stop. She spotted another tiger and rushed towards it. Right as she was about to bite down the rain stopped and she turned into a beautiful princess again. Something weird happened the tiger that she was about to eat had turned into a handsome prince. She was so happy, she didn’t think the guy in her dreams would meet her as a tiger, but she thought he was the handsomest prince she had ever seen.

They started to talk as they walked side by side. She asked “I thought I was the only person in the world that turned into a tiger when it rained,” he replayed “Me too, so how does this happen to you,” with a sigh of relief she said “The witch from the north put this spell on me and told me that I had to find another person with the same problem and it would all go away.” He popped his eyes out and replayed “That is exactly what happened to me, but it was the witch from the south!” They held hands as they walked the cold land of Antarctica. Feeling weird he mumbled “I forgot to ask your name,” she replied “Cathleen, what is yours,” he mumbled again “Christopher.”

She had found the guy of her dream in a form of a tiger, but now the only problem was that they had to kiss before it rained again and they lost each other. They married under a great waterfall. They kissed and lived happily ever after.

Wisdom

"The end has come at last, I wonder what awaits me in the new world."

Many people have told me that life is great, but what happens after you die is greater. I ask, so why are we brought to what we know as planet earth when there is not such a reason? Are we being tested to the best of our abilities? What happens if we don’t pass that test are there severe consequences. We might be here because of the scientific theories, but why are we the only species with the knowledge to communicate and use everything to our advantage. What if there is another life after this and we didn’t take the time to understand it.

There is a limit to everything. I ask if there is a limit to knowledge. Yes, the human species is one of the greatest, but do we have the right to make it a nightmare for everything else. There was an oil leak in the ocean which will potentially cause many sea creatures to die, but are all of the people really worrying about it. The humanity ending will be the greatest day for all living things on earth. There will be nobody to cause harm to nature or mother earth.

Time is a variable that never stops, so will when people notice all the damage they are causing, and find their inner wisdom. Everybody will die someday, I hope the last day on earth isn’t the time where your inner wisdom kicks in and you notice all the damage that you or somebody around you has caused. That last breath that you take should be a powerful one letting the world know that you were different and you didn’t follow other people’s footsteps.

So why wait and let another generation go by without change. My quote “The end has come at last, I wonder what awaits me in the new world." If we can’t change ourselves now, then what do we expect from the life after death if there is one?

If this world keeps on causing damage, then people will wait for the world to end and be happy about it because they ended the decades of terror. I want to explore death as an adventure and will always have faith of the afterlife. I don’t want to be just a subject under the dirt; I want to go to another beautiful place full of happiness, and kindness. I wonder if the theory of heaven being a place in the high skies, on the clouds is true. I wonder if whatever you imagine it just appears in front of you. If there is a god, why is he letting us turn earth and its beauty to a living hell? Somebody needs to step up and there might be a day where all humans go to heaven.
