Hi ! My name is Artie, but please, call me "A".
Okay, now a little about myself.
I am an 11 year old, short, I have brown eyes and brown hair. I am quit and
love to make money.
Because it was summer, my mother thought it would be a good idea to send me on
a trip across america with this tour she heard about called Junior Tours.
Finaly the day came. A white van pulled up in front of my house, and out
stepped 2 boys that looked 16 years old.
I went out and they told me that their names were Denis and Rob.
My mom gave them the required 75 $ and told them to watch me carefully, then
she hugged and kissed me and told me not to forget to write everyday.
When I steeped on the bus, I saw 5 ther boys the same age as me.
Their names were Sheldon, Howie, Nick, Kevin, and Sam.
Sheldon, who was always jabbering on and on about his old friend, Pete
Ogrodnick.
Howie, a tall, thin, blond, with glasses who seemed to be on the respective
side.
Nick, a boy that would go through life being superstitious.
Kevin, was a photoholic.
Sam, was one that liked to fight for his rights.
Rob and Denis then told us that we were supposed to name our van.
Denis came up with the name "Ambulance" and the rest of the group agreed.
On our way to our first stop, New York, we got a speeding ticket because
someone was tailgating our van.
The next morning, in Central Park, the director gave a speech telling what
they would be doing for the next few weeks.
By the end of the speech, I was already out of site, down in a subway station
changing into a tuxedo. Then I went to pick up my supplies, which consisted of
small boxes, wax paper, small empty jars, and 2 big jars of jelly.
These were to be put together to make many boxes of attack jelly which was to
be sold for 10 $ a piece.
When someone came up to me and asked what I was selling, I told them I was
selling Attack Jelly.
Attack Jelly is used to keep robbers away from your house or to protect a
loved.
Now, if you were an adult and saw something like this, what would you think? I
would think "hey What the hell he's a kid! "
Well, that's what alot of people thought and that's how I made my first sum of
money.
When I went back to Central Park, the whole group was waiting for me.
This case arose when I went out of town on my first business trip. I have been a sales trainee for the last six weeks, and my supervisor felt it was time to send me out. I was lucky enough to get sent with the number one sales rep for the company, Vince Collier. I was excited because I knew that if I was going to learn the best ways to make a sale, it would be with Vince.
A speeding ticket is an effective form of discipline: paying for a ticket, traffic school, and higher insurance rates. Paying for a speeding ticket is an unpleasant experience. A ticket can be outrageously expensive depending on how fast you speed. Some states charge ten to twenty dollars per mile an hour over the speed limit. The officer assigns you a day to appear in court, if you choose to fight the ticket rather.
He describes drivers in Boston as people who are rushing to jump across a drawbridge that is ahead of them. Additionally, David Barry shared his experience with worst drivers in the rest of the world including Italy, China, and Argentina. He suggest that everyone should close their eyes while riding a taxi in Argentina because nobody drive slower than 65 mph in the road and in the parking garage as well. David Barry was also surprised by the Italian traffic law which gives every driver the platform to behave the way they want while driving. He said, “I have also driven in Italy where there is only one traffic law, which is that no driver may ever be behind

...n the class for a distraction. I was more nervous for my speech than anything. A distraction would have destroyed my whole speech. Colin Powell showed me how to control a distraction. That is by making a joke or let the situation pass you bye.
The American dream is based on one thing, happiness, but what is happiness? Happiness is usually characterized as, something that makes you feel, fulfillment, joy, and pleasure. However I think happiness is different for everyone, and ever changing depending on where you are in life, and my life is a perfect example of this. A years ago if you asked me what happiness was, I would have told you, I was experiencing pure happiness. I had a job that paid well, a nice car, my first street bike, and an amazing girlfriend of three years and was a pretty good Christian. One day she left, and my happiness fell apart, I went into depression, and stopped caring about life and God. I turned to drugs like weed to make me happy instead of working on my self. I still struggle with depression some days, but I try to focus on my new goals in life. Graduating college with my Bachelors in Nursing, becoming closer to God once again, getting back in shape, meeting a girl in college, and getting married. For Augustine Pure happiness is only possible by living in God. In Augustine’s mind God is the greatest happiness man can obtain. He says “You stir us so that praising you may bring us joy, because you have made us and drawn us to yourself, and our heart is unquiet until it rests in you (Augustine, 1,1).” I need to start applying Augustine’s teachings to my personal happiness. If I can focus more of myself on God and trust him, everything will work itself out in the end. Unfortunately sometimes we sin in order to achieve false happiness.

I turned around and followed my family to our car. What a day I had had.
not many cars on the road encouraging me to drive faster. I had just gone
Just this past summer, one of my good friends was driving through Harrisonburg on his way home from work, when he noticed the one thing all drivers dread, flashing blue lights closing in on him fast. While pulling to the side of the road, he realized there was not one, but two police cars behind him. He knew he had only been going five miles per hour over the speed limit, so he was worried as to why two police cars had just pulled him over. After sitting in fear behind his wheel for several minutes, two cops walked to his car and informed him that he was getting a speeding ticket.
As time went on, as I entered puberty, I began to take a more active, albeit still very discrete, interest in other boys. While in the locker room after physical education, I detected that I was sexually attracted to several of the other boys, and I also saw many boys walking around the school corridors who caught my attention. Sometimes I looked them up in the school's photo catalog to see what their names were, and in my free time, I often dreamt about being physically close to them.
We got to the convention center where the ceremony was being held and the parking garage was so full we had to park three blocks away. As I walked through the doors of the convention center I found my to the sea of purple and yellow caps and gowns that were already forming a line. I quickly threw on my gown and walked into the back to find out where I was supposed to be and instead found my English teacher frantically running around trying to get everyone in place. I was pushed into my row and told not to talk, that’s not easy when you have to sit through 400 other people’s names getting called before yours does but I muscled through
