Space is the final frontier for all human here on Earth. It has introduced unimaginable worlds that are unknown and undiscovered. It has shown the world that these so called “Impossible missions” become reality in front of our eyes.

Recycling for the Future According to Franklin Delano Roosevelt “A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land‚ purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people.” Just about everyone knows our environment is in danger.

the future of mankind looks rather unpromising due to the damages that technological advances‚ overpopulation and environmental problems have already caused and it will probably continue to cause to human race in the future.

October 15‚ 2013. I live in a society that is fun of itself and doesn’t think much into the future. Things we do today‚ just might hurt what happens tomorrow. From coal mines‚ building houses‚ cars and factories. Also the way people act‚ our government‚ and terrorism today are a little outrageous. These days‚ long term thinking means planning for 10-15 years‚ and even that is out there. Thoughts about our future generations don’t go much beyond grandkids. If my government knew I was thinking about 100

In the future I see myself studying The Natural Science Program‚ hopefully with a friend through my years in High School. After school I want to study into becoming a doctor‚ probably in another country than Sweden‚ hopefully France‚ which will be interesting. It will probably take up a lot of my free time but it will be worth it in the end. I will probably study alongside a friend‚ having him as my roommate which hopefully will make my studies enjoyable. Hopefully I’ll have a beautiful girlfriend
