Compassionate Science

Many people are passionate about what they do, socially and physically.  But are they all in it for the money?  Or do they wish to make the world out there a better place. I play basketball while I am in high school and can't wait for my fourth and final year to play.  I am passionate about basketball, it is something about the sport that takes me elsewhere.  I am sure other athletes at Bell High School feel the same way I do.  However, I do not plan on playing college ball because of the fact that I want my education to come first.  Basketball would take me nowhere considering the fact that I might get injured, I may retire too early etc.  I want to be a science anthropologist.  That has always been my dream and I hope to accomplish it.  Now I am not in it because of the money, although they do get a high payroll.  I am in it because I am passionate about the study of the human body and I hope to solve many crime scenes.  I believe if I had the power to change the world, I would.  Whether I want to or not is not really the question, but if others are willing to put up their time and effort. If no one were to pay attention to me about what I would like to change about the world, there would be no point in doing anything.

The Future

          In a hundred years from now I am going to be dead.  I'm positive I won't make it to one hundred and seventeen years of age.  I'm lucky if I make it to one hundred.  But what does the future hold you may ask?  I have an idea of the future to be what most of us think it will be.  I think the future is going to have flying cars.  The flying cars are not going to run on gas, but on energy. The cars are going to be solar powered as well as everything else. Electricity bill? Yeah I don't think so.   Every time I go online and read the headlines, I read some intelligent student creating a robot crane, car, truck, etc.  I also believe that there will be robots helping us through our daily lives.  Some movies predicted the future before and some movies today may have an impact on the future.  There would be a lot more buildings than there are now.  Of course the price of the dollar is going to go up, but for the most part everything will be affordable.  Well the things we need are going to be affordable, the things we want is something else.

Funny Moment

I remember this like it was just yesterday.  This was around last school year when I was a junior as well as my other friend, Jackie.  We were in the lockers and we had finished dressing to go sign in and practice.  My other friend screams out my name because she wanted us two to wait for her to go sign in all together.  As we were waiting for her to get ready she makes this comment about her legs and i made fun of her. I compared her legs to cottage cheese, but I was playing around.  Jackie had agreed with me and started laughing and I couldn't hold in my laugh either so I started cracking up.  The other friend was laughing as well and we made other comments that made her laugh.  At one point my friend was leaning against the lockers and says "stop guys I'm gonna pee!" We kept laughing until she farts! I ran off to the restroom because I was going to pee myself. I couldnt stop laughing in the restroom then I washed my hands and went back to the lockers to find my other friend laughing and confused at the same time.  She says "why are you guys laughing, I don't get it." that made me laugh more because of the fact that she wanted to play it off.  I had to stop laughing because I didn't want to make her feel bad for farting in front of us.  We didn't talk about it after, but I talk to Jackie about it and all we do is laugh nonstop.

Modern Times Review

Modern Times is a "silent" movie that was casted to show how people use to work in the 1920's.  Charlie Chaplin starred as well as produced this film.  I was never into silent movies, didn't think they would be as great as movies with sound.  Modern Times was a really great movie in my perspective. It was my first silent movie and the first time I saw Charlie Chaplin on screen.  I might look into these type of films because I liked the movie from beginning to end.  It had funny moments as well as some grief moments.  At the end of the movie Charlie wanted the audience to feel the need to smile as he thought not every movie had to have a sad ending.  For the most part the film kept me laughing.  Charlie Chaplin really put a lot of thought into the movie, but from what I have heard of him, it must of come naturally to someone like him. I recommend this film to anyone of all ages, you can never go wrong with Charlie Chaplin.
