What If...

What if we were all the same? What if every human being looked exactly alike? Same mannerisms and same thoughts. In that world, people would not fight over religion and race, people would be equals and no one would be ignorant. But in this world, inventions would be missed, great speeches not made, chance would be taken over by a continuous mundane world. We live in a beautiful diverse world, it's not going to change. We need to stop looking at race, religion, looks and start looking for potential. But what do I know. I'm 15.

Video Games and Kids

Many people assume that children are easily affected by violent video games, but it isn't the video games' fault. It's the parents.Most parents don't limit the amount of time on video games. In addition, they don't look at the rating of the games. If you look at what you're buying for your kids, it could change their future. For example, if you allow a child to "get whatever game they want," they will suffer in their school settings, if raised too early with violent video games, kids could become more violent. You also need to limit time on games, let them go outside! All in all, video games aren't bad for you or your kids as long as you limit the time on it.

If I Was A High School Teacher...

If I were a High School Teacher, I would teach kids objective thinking and problem solving instead of filling them with useless facts. Who cares about when Columbus came to America!? Would I ever use this information? No! Unless I become a history teacher! Now, problem solving is a useful skill, it teaches you how to look at problems a different way. No matter how small. Objective thinking is even more important! This means you look at someone elses point of view in a disagreement. Objective thinking is much more useful then what is a virus. The only way that kids these days are going to understand the world around them is to have useful skills like objective thinking and problem solving, not to mention creativity.

Race to Nowhere

BANG! The gun sounded and off the racers flew running on the track formiles and miles. But the scenery seemed to never change. The racers ran consistently and at perfect pace with one another. Some had water that they periodically grabbed and gulped down. All of them had different motivations but now there was only one goal among them all. Finish in the 10 mile race they had all started. After the longest time, in which nothing seemed to change, the buzzer beeped and the racers jumped off their treadmills. Finally, the race to nowhere was over.

Tornado

Sirens were going off in her head. She was afraid. Wind was the scaryiest element and at high speeds tearing up everytthing below it, destroying whole buildin- She didn't even want to think about it. The only shelter they had was their own bathroom but even there she didnt feel safe. All they could do was wait and the sirens wouldn't stop going off in her head. Again and again she heard the siren ringing, warning, telling everyone in the county that there is a tornado warning. She tried to ignore it and focus on her two cats that were with them, but to no avail. The wind was almost deafening over the sound of the sirens. Her mother screamed something at her; but, she couldn't hear. Suddenly. It ceased. Nothing moved. All was quiet and for a few moments no one talked.
