Free Will

Do you think that everyoe has free will? I don't think that we have free will, because we can't do whatever we want, whenever we want. That's why there are laws restricting us from doing certain things. There are laws for a reason, so why should we break them? If we had free will, life would be very unsafe, and too crazy for some people to handle. At the point in the world right now, we don't have free will, and I think it should stay like this because it seems to be workng out.

Pushing Through, and Staying Tough

I read the Article "Baylor Guard Seeks Title and she Regains Vision". In this article, a senior from Baylor, named Melissa Jones, dove for a lose ball on the ground thinking nothing of it. But as collided with another player, she hit the ground, and her head was what she landed on. She played on thinking nothing of it, until later on in the game, she had no vision at all in her right eye. She missed one game from recovery, but was back in no time. She began by playing her first 6 games with protective glasses on her eyes, just in case. As time progressed, her eye improved greatly. First she began to make out shapes and colors, but then it got even better where she saw moving blurs of people, and later could reconize who that person was. Overall, Melissa fought through the pain, and stayed tough throughout her recovery, and was determained to get better as fast as she could.

Her determination and toughness really inspires me to fight through whatever happens to me in the future. If I ever get hurt, I will want to get back as fast as I can, as strong as I can. Melissa is a clear example of pushing through the pain, and working towards a goal of getting better fast. I also hope to play basketball during high school, and college, so seeing how she was aggressive and hustling for the ball, really shows me what a true basketball player would do for their team. I hope to be as great of a player as Melissa is, and to be as strong as determained as she is too.

Reflection of Project

I think we did a good job overall when presenting our project. We had good eye contact, and got the class involved. But on the other hand, we had some pauses that was filled with random talking by the class, so we should have had control of the class during the presentation. Overall, our group did a great job presenting this project.

Life

Life is always confusing, no matter what is thrown at you. But you need to push threw the hard times to get to the even better ones. Your life is your own decision, so the choices you make will affect how you live. I am happy on how my life has been so far. There are probably some things that I regret, but the things that I have done in the past, have gotten me to where I am now.

Can humans truley be equal?

It's hard to say if humans are really equal. In my mind, nobody is that alike to be considered the same or equal. If the world was all the same, life would be boring and uneventful. Everyone would be the same, and no one would have there own differences. Having differences from other people is what makes you who you are. So why should we change that? Imagine saying the same thing, seeing the same thing, wearing the same thing everyday, not having control over something to make yourself different. Life is supposed to be unpredictable, but why are we wanting to make it predictable?

Superhuman Power

Having a super power would be a great experience to have. Being able to read peoples minds, walk though walls, or even flying. There are so many to choose from that I wouldn't know which one I would want to have. But, if I really had to choose one, I would pick being able to fly. Having the opportunity to fly would be life changing. Being able to be somewhere in a matter of seconds, compared to other kinds of transportation. Also being able to see everything thats going on below you, someone driving in a car, someone walking down the street. Overall, having this superpower would be such a cool experience and would change my life for forever.

Summer Poem

Summer

The sun shining in your eyes,
the wind blowing at your face.

Sitting at the edge of the pier,
moving your feet in and out of the water below you.

No thoughts go through your mind,
except for what you're going to do next.

This is the feeling of summer,
not having a care in the world,
doing whatever comes to mind.
