For many generations, parents everywhere have told the tale of your teenage years being the toughest years of life. Sadly, this tale is the cold, hard truth. You will lose a friend, get a bad grade, or move to a new school, like myself. If these obstacles break you or motivate you, is up to your actions. So make sure you have all you need in your survival kit for the “apocalypse”, otherwise known as your “teenage years.” The most essential part of your survival kit includes your books and pencils. Education is the key to life success. “Being good and doing good will allow you to have fun and be happy.” (Mrs. Yeck) Raising your hand in class and doing work early may not be "popular" at your school; but believe me it is popular with your …show more content…
There are two types of people; those who watch it happen and those who make it happen. You want to be a player in the game not a fan on the sidelines. Whether it be athletics, clubs, choir, or band do and try all you can to stay active at your school. Through these opportunities you will end up meeting new people that you never would have met, had you not gotten involved. Another crucial item you will need to pack in your teenage survival kit is your family. Through thick and thin, they will support and love you no matter what. Don't be afraid to ask your family anything. It makes them feel appreciated and wanted when you ask them questions. Bond with them too. These memories will give you immense happiness. Sadly enough don’t forget tissues. Whether you like it or not, you are bound to get involved in some kind of despair or drama throughout these years. A friend will betray you, a boyfriend or girlfriend will break your heart, you might miss the game winning shot, and your family always knows how to push just the right buttons. Being able to swiftly learn lessons and move on is a skill that isn't very common. I have yet to master that skill. Use these circumstances as learning experiences and by the end of these eventful years, you will have abilities to use
Whenever I go out to eat, I always comb through the menu for specific words: shark, snake, grizzly, etc. It 's not that I don 't like more standard dishes. I love a good steak as much as the next guy, but that sort of thing just doesn 't excite me anymore. If I’m going to commit murder by eating meat, as the animal rights people say, I want my murder to count. I hunger for danger foods. By my definition, a danger food is any animal that can take me in a fair fight. The way I see it, if it could have killed me when it was alive, I get to eat it once it 's dead. In fact, it 's my civic duty to do so. For example, a shark could rip me apart with its rows of razor sharp teeth. Thus, I get to turn it into poop. The circle of life continues. A cow,
In an interview with Computerworld, author and futurist Ray Kurzweil said that anyone alive -come 2040 or 2050 could be close to immortal. The quickening advance of nanotechnology means that the human condition will shift into more of a collaboration of man and machine, as nanobots flow through human blood streams and eventually even replace biological blood, he added. Let me know!
My fellow classmen, as we look back on our years here at school we should remember the meaningful words of a fellow class member of mine when she said, "Dude, where's my iPod?" It's hard for me to think of a better way to describe the many layers of adolescence, because deep down aren?t we all "dudes?" Do we not all have our inner "iPods", and are we not constantly searching for them? Now, we're leaving our childhood behind to study the vast sphere we call planet Earth, into the notorious world of high school, where things will be so much different. Of course we will still have our varied studies, Geometry, Biology, maybe even Forensics or an Accelerated English class here and there. We will still struggle with the daily setbacks formed by peers and strict teachers and principals. But so much of our lives will change. The cars in the parking lot will be driven by, well, students. Our male friends will grow a little fuzzy around the face, and of course, our day will most likely begin with a bell that actually works.
Making the transition from middle school to high school is a huge stepping stone in a teenager’s life. High school represents both the ending of a childhood and the beginning of adulthood. It’s a rite of passage and often many teens have the wrong impression when beginning this passage. Most began high school with learning the last thing on their mind. They come in looking for a story like adventure and have a false sense of reality created through fabricated movie plots acted out by fictional characters. In all actuality high school is nothing like you see in movies, television shows, or what you read about in magazines.
Have you ever wondered how some athletes have gotten so good at a certain sport? Have you ever thought about what they did in order for them to get this good? For some the answer is simple; workout and train. But for others the answer is different; the use of performance enhancing drugs such as steroids. There are some people that argue that steroids should be legalized and allowed in professional sports. Other people argue that steroids should not be allowed. Today I am going to state my opinion and justify my reason. Steroids should not be allowed in professional sports because it can be very dangerous to the athlete’s health, it is a way to gain and un-fair advantage and it can be dangerous in both social and physical aspects.
Imagine if you will a beautiful sunny day. The sky is blue not a cloud in the sky, you have just woken from a night’s sleep. As you slowly set up in the bed your parents picked out for you, wearing your favorite p.js., and you look around your room wear on the walls are pictures of you, your parents, other relative, and you’re friends it hits you it’s your birthday and you are now eighteen-years old.

End of life care is an important aspect to the health care field. According to the 60 minutes video, the U.S spends around 55 million dollars yearly to provide end of life services to its citizens. Many citizens may feel that the money spent is not being used in the most cost effective way. The U.S use the tax payers and Medicare money to pay for end of care services. Funds that are considered to be a waste in end of life care could be useful in other areas; such as research, finding cures, and continuing advancements in medicine. Another reason citizens may feel the money is not being used in the best way, because a lot of services do not actually save a patients like but just prolong it instead. While prolonging a patient’s life more harm
If someone is dying, it usually means that loved ones and friends are already preparing for the worst. They are getting the funeral ready and sending out invitations.

Being a teenager isn’t easy. You have a lot of things on your mind, a lot of things to worry about, a lot of things to carry, and when I mean carry, I mean both physically and mentally. During the 17 years of my life that I have lived so far, I believe that I have never carried this much before. Part of it, I think, is because it’s senior year. Actually, I think that’s the biggest reason why I feel so much pressure on my shoulders.
Most people today think that family is just being close and knowing each others past and secrets. When really, family means being there for someone when they really need you. Family is being able to pick up the phone and call someone at whatever time of the day, and them be there for you as soon as they hang up the phone. Times get rough and if they’re not there, then you shouldn’t consider them family. Without a family, who else would you have? Your family is seriously the only ones you can count on. You know that without a doubt your family will always be there right by your side during the good and bad times. They will never betray your trust, nor talk behind your back. No matter what, you will always have
You know, it is really strange how quickly time passes, after spending my whole childhood wishing I was an adult, now here we are and it's a little hard to grasp. It feels like just yesterday I was standing here in the same position at eighth grade graduation. Ahh, middle school, such a joyous time for all of us, free of maturity and not a care in the world. The biggest decisions I ever had to make then was deciding which group to stand with at passing time and choosing which shirt from my extensive collection of Stussy and No Feat apparel to wear. We were all naive to the danger that lurked just around the corner. We were unaware that the carefree world we lived in was about to come crashing to the ground in a blazing inferno of real school work and responsibility ... otherwise known as high school.
