When I hear the question‚ “Do you have any siblings?”‚ I am forced to reply yes. “An older and younger brother”‚ I explain. Though‚ often times‚ I feel as though I do not have an older brother.

Have you seen a movie that starred Reese Witherspoon? Did you like it? Did you think she played her part perfectly? Time Magazine named her one of the most influential people of 2015 because “She is no longer a talented and famous actress. She is an icon… She’s impatient that Hollywood won’t generate the kind of quality roles she wants to play‚ so she creates quality roles by creating quality movies.

#6:Treasure Chest Problem: Someone offers to give you a million dollars($1‚000‚000) in one-dollar ($1) bills. To receive the money‚ you must lie down; the million one-dollar bills will be placed on your stomach. If you keep them on your stomach for 10 minutes‚ the money is yours! Do you accept the offer?
