Now that we are in the future with more and more people buying vehicles, it’s no wonder it’s a challenge just to drop the kids off at school. I mean ok, most people say avoid traffic and leave early. Anybody else out there ever hear of that saying? Guess what? So have the rest of those snail moving people out there. The major problem lies not because of so many people, but the select few that fear the speed limit. Oh yes, I know you have seen it every day. Maybe you are the one reading this. But is it really that hard to go the speed limit or at LEAST mind your damn business. Minding your own business is the other problem. People can’t seem to figure out traffic build up is also caused by rubber neckers. You know when you see the bright blue and red from the fuzz on the right side of the road. I mean come on, the person pulled over is already embarrassed enough. They don’t need you eyeballing them up and down while you pass. I’m sure that person passed you up going 80 mph 10 minutes ago, only because you were going 60 in a 65 mph.…
Throughout this week I have experienced many mixed emotions. On Tuesday I came to class extremely exhausted so I took a 5 minute power nap: I woke up confused and overwhelmed. Luckily Prof. Aran took a short break, but I still struggled to catch up on what I missed. On Wednesday I got up early to begin my rhetorical analysis and study the math problems I did not understand. It was a great feeling to come to class and know exactly what was going on. After class I joined a math study group which made me feel even more confident about my math exam approaching quickly. On Thursday I finished my first assignment with 10 hours to spare. My Rhetorical Analysis paper was very challenging to write, but I dedicated 2 hours a night and finished the…
Even though the day didn’t start out too vigorous, it ended dexterously. This day was filled with excitement and motivation, but most of all it boosted my confidence. I did something never anticipated to do.…
According to Claire Ricke, a recent survey found that drivers committed more than 78,000 illegal passing violations in a single day. This evidence show just how dangerous a normal day is and how much danger you could be in just by getting on a bus. It’s scary to know that you're not always safe, even when doing something as simple as getting on a bus, but this can all be avoided if people would stop being in such a hurry and slow down to think about the consequences of their actions. Most people would say that it's almost impossible to stop because when you're in a hurry you don't think as clearly and you aren't as observant, but that’s not the case. It is possible to think and slow down when you're in a hurry, and I know because I've done this myself. It was a test day and I had already woken up late with very little time to spare. I was disorganized, in a hurry, and I was barley making it. Everything was so rushed that I wasn't thinking clearly until my sister told me to calm down and get every thing I needed then to meet her in the car. I managed to calm down, and I got every thing I needed and met my sister in the car. I’ve been in a hurry many times, but I still find time to think and get every thing done. Being late to work or an interview is not worth another person's life, so slow down and think before you…
Driving to school has been tough because most kids at my school dont know how to properly drive within the lines and park straight, so dodging a bunch of reckless rednecks in trucks and preppy girls in smart cars is a struggle. It's not getting to school that's the problem for me it's the leaving at the end of the day with the other 1,700 kids that drive. Our school population is about 2,400 something and the more kids that decided to try for a parking permit is only making traffic worse.…
Everyday is a new day for me. I wake up everyday pondering whether or not I will be able to get through the day without a single complaint. As I woke up this morning, I went straight to my coffee machine to make my coffee as I always do. What was strange is that every time I tried to start it up, it wouldn't start. After realizing that my coffee machine, my most prized possession, was broken, I quickly got ready with my signature messy bun and went to the nearest coffee shop. I was going to get my coffee. After ordering my favorite coffee at Dunn Brothers, I was not happy to see that they messed up my order. I went to my work and hoped that the not-my-order-coffee would kick in soon. This day has already started off horribly and I did not…
It was a cold, sunny day. An excellent time to play football with friends, drink sweet cherry Gatorade and relax. I expected today to be a perfect day but soon I would find this not to be true.…
Today I was very exhausted and excited. I woke up at 6:00am when the bright, morning sun streamed through my window. I jumped out of bed because I have to go to tutor time at school to finish some work and get some help from my teachers. But my math teacher was not there so i went to the library instead to finish my LA homework.…
I woke up on another school day, dreading that I had to wake up at the crack of dawn to drive for Driver’s Ed. I do the normal routine: brush my snarled hair, get on my blue jeans, a t-shirt and brush my pearly whites. I’m then standing looking out the window, waiting for Mr. Schimp to drive up to my house in the stylish, white, Driver’s ed minivan. I hop out the front door with my backpack and then get into the driver’s seat, ready to pick out my favorite radio station, Star 106.1. I was officially ready to start my 20 minutes of driving.…
Juwan Torres Seventh Grade October 30, 2010 I went to sleep last night, expecting an ordinary day today. However, instead of the usual routine, my day turned out to be more surprising then I had expected. Normaly…
Life can be impacted by the good or the bad, it's what you choose to take from it. Just because you have a bad day doesn't mean you have a bad life, try and listen to others for they may change they way you…
Today was possibly one of the worst days in a long, long time. It was dreadful. It started off as a nice but breezy day, which we all like here because it gets the sun of your back. Especially when the poor men are out in the fields collecting the harvests.…
Stepping out of my house, I felt the humidity smack me in my face; this wasn’t a good sign at all. I quickly grabbed my phone to check the weather. Eighty-five degrees? I knew there wasn’t anything I could have done to change the weather, I just had to cross my fingers and hoped that my hair wasn’t going to become frizzy My day started out with getting my nails done, then my hair, then my makeup. Being the impatient person that I am, I couldn’t help becoming anxious, I couldn’t wait to get all these things done with. Even though, I did enjoy the feeling of getting pampered.…
Bad days can happen to anyone of us. There are days where nothing goes our way or days when you wake up in the morning with a really bad mood. Despite that, we still have to wake up, get out of bed and face the day. When I am having a bad day, I will ensure that no decisions are made throughout the day regardless of the matter's urgency because I believe that a wise decision is made based on clear emotions as well as logic. When facing a bad day, there are a few things I would do to turn my bad day around. After getting up in the morning, I would lock myself up in my own apartment, away from all the disturbance and noises that could possibly worsen my day. I will tune in to some of my favourite classical piano songs while reflecting on the problems that I am facing and find ways or solutions to solve the problem. After a while, I would take a short nap approximately 30 to 60 minutes to unwind myself. After the nap, I would take my bike and ride it to the gym to work out. I will spend roughly one and a half hour at the gym. By doing so, I believe this will help me de-stress and release my tension. After working out at the gym, I will then go to the nearest A&W to have a glass of root beer and a plate of waffle. After having my root beer and waffle, later on, I will ride back home to my apartment to take a warm and relaxing bath. Then I would call up home to inform my mother that I would be going over to the house for dinner. I will spend the rest of the evenings with my parents and my little siblings by dining and watching television together. Later in the night, I will bring both my parents and little siblings out to the nearest Mcdonalds to have some ice cream for desserts. We will have some family bonding time by laughing and joking with one another. After spending the whole evening with my family, afterwards, I will drive back to my house and upon arrival I would browse through the internet for some encouraging and motivational quotes online.…
One day, I was playing with my two sisters hide and find game. It was our favorite game ever, and we used to play it every day. But, in that day we were alone and our parents were in my aunt’s house. while we were playing it, my sisters hide from me. Suddenly, I heard their voices in our parent’s room, so I quickly ran to their room. But, when I tried to open the door, I found it closed. Then, I shouted for them to open the door, but they didn’t answer.…
