Creative Wrting Essay Prompt 10

Today there are more and more reality shows on television. Do these shows make good television? Why or why not? Explain your answer using specific reason and examples.
Reality television is a good thing to watch to me. I believe that reality TV is good because it’s not like they can be fake like you know that you are watching television, movies, and etc. That being said if doesn’t go to the (and they all lived happily ever after approach and it will keep you in suspense). For example, the real world shows you all of the things that can happen in the real world hence its title. The reality that we see isn’t sugar coded except for the censorship. With censorship nobody can be sure if what they said is true or entices that it was true.
There are some faults to reality TV as well. The fact that some people may want to create drama for attention is a great example. Like on Jersey Shore when people pretend to be sad so others will talk to them and give them extra attention. Another example is how people want to pretend to be something they’re not and put on charade so they can get noticed and try to be famous. The sad thing is they think they are popular and everyone wants them s as friends, to be them or other people they don’t know don’t matter. That is the strongest case of narcissism out there. If you act like that only three things can happen to you.
1.People won’t talk to you at all and ignore you. 2. People will call you annoying and want to fight you. 3. Last, but not least people will act like your friend, but talk about you constantly behind your back without you knowing anything. That isn’t reality that’s pure fiction. Next, there are people who try to be the cool type and kind of silent. They want a different type of attention it’s not as being loud, but you should just be who you are.

Sleep

Sleep everyone needs it. It is something that we do in order to be replenished for the next day. Sleeping is both physical and psychological. It's physical because your body could be aching or in pain and one you go to sleep you feel better. It's psychological because if don't don't sleep you can't focus and you start to have mood swings. For Example, (A person with insomnia will have an attitude towards anything. This is why sleep is important for your body and mind,

Driving me crazy

Driving is the most dangerous thing you could ever do if you do it wrong. You can't do too much of one thing. The last thing you would need is a backseat driver. They will cause you to scream, shout, and probably crash. We have lots of other distractions as well. We have our phones, the radio, and last but not least other drivers. We have bluetoothes for that reason only so our hands can stay on the wheel at all times. We can focus so much on the radio we start to loose sight of the road and people crossing. The other drivers are the worst of all.
No matter how much they annoy you and how much you want to flip them off and ram them you can't. If you do it would cause road rage and lead you to driving school again, jail or death. The only thing that can save you while your driving is you.

Crazy Shopper

There are lots of things that can happen when you buy on impulse. Black Friday is the best example because when people are in a rush to buy they start to loose their senses. People have been harmed and even died thanks to impulse shopping. In the midst of it all there will be some items that you buy that you didn't want or look at properly because you couldn't rationalize. There are up sides to impulse shopping as well. When you see something that you know you want and have enough for is okay as long as you don't spend every last penny you have one these items. The only exception you have is if you know that you deserve it or you can have someone else buy it for for you.
Be careful not to do it too much. Impulse buying can lead to harm or a nice gift for yourself.

One's Work

I think that people should have pride in what they do. Even though it may be hard you still have to try. There are some reasons that people can loose pride in their work. For example, teachers and students saying that what you've done is unexceptable even when you ask them for help. The annoying fact of doing work for someone who won't appreciate and doesn't seem to like you. The angst you have to do something fun and wait til the very last minute it is rarely avoidable.
You can't let the small things stop you though because if you do they in. Who is they you wonder? They are the ones who try to give you doubt and try to bring you down. Those type of people are unavoidable so you have to press on and do your work so you won't end up like them. If you don't take your work seriously who will?

Unlikely Forces

People will always be set in their ways about something that part we all know. So why do we have friends that we, our family, and other friends know is completely different from us is pretty simple. Opposites attract and we need an opposite to keep the balance. There is something about a person that is in a completely different element from us that we find absolutely fascinating. At times we get bored of a rut and the same old things and meeting someone new can be a fresh start. We actually like that our friends are different because they can widen our horizon and shows us new things. In some cases we make different friends because they have something that we lack and we have something they lack.
Together we and our friends can make something brilliant despite our differences.

Spring

My favorite season of all is spring. I like spring because it's not to hot, cold, or windy. I like it because you can be outside in the perfect weather anywhere you go. I find spring my favorite season of all because my birthday is on the first day of spring. Other people may have this day as well, but I seem to be only one who was born the earliest. In spring I would like to celebrate my birthday. There are times where I don't know what to do for it if anything. I know that it's not permanent because I will have have some kind of idea in my head and it my my favorite season so much brighter.

My House

There are many things that I like about my home and about everyone else as well, but I like mine most of all. Some people say its small but they don't have a house so why hate and not congradulate. I especially like my room most of all in my house. It is pretty obivious why anyone would. In my room I am free to be me and do whatever I want and my parents don't like to barge in like others that's what I love about my house most of all.

The Moon

I would like to go to the moon one day out of my life. Some people say it's a boring place filled with nothing but dust and craters, but I see more. I see a wide open space where I can run round, glide, and do flips. The main reason I would go there is to see the stars, Earth, and all the distance planets in my reach. That's why I want to visit the moon

The Baby Dragon

One upon a time at Dragoon High School there was a dragon that was shorter than the other dragon. It would always get picked on and it was given a bad nickname. They would always call it Baby Dragon nonstop. The dragon would try everything to grow, but it had no good turn out for him. One day it ventured out to find a star stone that could grant any wish, unfortunately he wasn't alone. A for unknown purposes dragon at a rival high school wanted the stone. Now the dragon has to fight for the sun and it's life before the stone falls into dark claws.

When I was Eleven

Four years ago I was eleven years old. I like being fifteen because now I can walk to school and home. I can start to be more independent, I can run a mile without quitting, and last but definitely not least I can watch any tv since I am of age.

Dinner With a Famous Person

If I could have dinner with a famous person I would choose God. The things I would like to ask him is if predestination where true, what would it take to get into heaven, what would the world come to in the future. The most important question I would have to ask God would be what's the meaning of life. If God could answer these for me I would have bliss throughout my whole life.

Donation

If I found one hundred dollars I would donate it to a charity where people protect animals from the cruelty of their abusive owners. I would want them to protect animals from getting hurt, to save them from the streets, not to just put them in a pound to be forgotten about either. I want them to find these animals a loving home and give them proper hygiene. That is ll I want in exchange for my donation.

Teen Jobs

The several ways that a teenager can earn money a cutting lawns, babysitting, and house sitting for their neighbors. They can also do some chores and get an allowance. The last thing a teenager can do to get a job is to get a job or create your own business.

Moneysss

I honestly feel like a monkey wouldn’t make a good pet for people. There was a case when a woman got her face ripped off because she had a monkey as a pet thinking it wouldn’t harm her. That made absolutely no sense because a monkey is a wild animal found in the jungle that swings on trees and throws its waste at the other monkeys and somehow you believe it can be anywhere except for the jungle and the zoo. It sounds absurd, but even domestic animals have their moments so you have to be sure about the pet that you want and a monkey shouldn’t be on your list.

Sandwhich

My sandwich would be a parody of Subway, it would be made out of Meatball Marinara, onions, tomatoes, peppers, some lettuce, salt and pepper with some parmisen cheese on whole-wheat buns. The deluxe sandwich would have grilled chicken breast, but that's extra. I would make it by putting the ingredients together and toasting it.

Pet Doctor

If I was a doctor I would be a veterinarian. I would be a veterinarian because I feel that well rounded experience for me. I could help all of the sick and diseased animals that have loving homes and have been neglected by society. I would have to study a lot of chemistry in order to prescribe the correct type of medicine. The only thing that I wonder about is if this job would pay well or not, but I know it would be a fulfilling job as well as a life experience.

29. Some people believe that students aren’t learning enough in high school. Should school standards be higher? Explain your answer using specific reasons and examples.
I don’t think that standards should be raised for high school students if they already believe that students don’t learn enough with regular standards. In what sense would it make to raise expectations that they said before couldn’t be met. We shouldn’t fawn over a challenge; instead we should rise above the occasion and get through it. Parents also play a part in this case as well. Their thoughts aren’t exactly diabolical, but they shouldn’t try to force their views on their children, accept them for what they are, and try to help them as best they can. For example (When it is time for us to go to college they want to go to their old college and pledge for their sorority or fraternity since they were a legacy there). I know they want what’s best for us, however their views are superficial.
The only examples I can give you for this situation is to look at television and everyday life. So, students have to face three kinds of standards one is educational standards, the standards of family, friends, and others, and the most important your own standards. We can’t transcend into the abyss and live our lives for other people. That doesn’t mean that we should drop everything and become freeloaders. We shouldn’t be left back over things that we could handle with ease if we just get our priorities in order. As the saying goes “You must sacrifice in order to obtain what you desire in your life.” Good things won’t come from oblivion and from wishing for them as well.
The standards in school already ask a lot of high school students as it is. We have standards for every class (even in P.E) and we have standards for our overall behavior. Are these standards for the students or to show how excellent the school is that serves these standards? We try to perform these standards to show that schools can provide the proper teachings for us don’t we not or is it a mixture of that and our own benefit? Will we even use all of the standards that were taught to us in real life anyway? For example (If I want to be a therapist do I need to know the insides of shapes and figures? It would work for me if I want to be an architect or mathematician, but some things aren’t meant for everyone.
The only way I could agree with the idea to raise standards is the idea that people faced with an extreme challenge can adapt to it in time. An example would be someone with no experience going into a sport and conditioning for it. Fortunately, you don’t have to be involved with a sport to know that if something is hard adapt to it and press on. No matter how much pride you have you can always ask someone for help because believe it or not people will be there for you if you have enough faith. So, standards and expectations shouldn’t be raised if we can’t do something, but our work ethic should.

A time when I was brave

A time when I was brave was when I had to rebel against the evil covenant to start a revolution. It was an eventful day for me after I sabotaged a raid. When I went face to face to face to the captain of the brigade I was severely nervous, but I knew in my heart if I didn’t fight back now everything at the point would turn into a dark cloud of misery. It was a day that I could never forget because it was the day where I was brave.

9. Many junior high and high schools around the country now require students to spend a certain number of hours each term doing volunteer work or community service. Some people believe this is an excellent idea that promotes good citizenship and cultivates passion. Others feel that forced volunteerism is not volunteerism at all. How do you feel about the issue? Use specific reasons and examples to supply your position.

Volunteering is volunteering not matter how you want to look at it or discuss it. I personally that everyone should to help better our world, but I’m not trying to sound like an afterschool special. The cliché the chivalry is dead does not have to apply to everyone because believe it or not it is always good to help someone in need of it. As an example (I helped a crippled person onto the bus because they couldn’t get on the ramp properly knowing that I didn’t have to and I wasn’t even riding the bus). I didn’t do it to get something in return I did it because it was right and if I was in trouble I would want someone to help me if I was in need. It can’t be helped that everyone needs help now and then.
For those who feel forced volunteerism isn’t volunteerism at all I get where you’re coming from, but if you feel that way why do you call it volunteerism then? In the end you still have to choose what you want to put your time into, so that is one thing there aren’t forcing you to do. It’s not like they making you volunteer at certain places and if they are shame on them. Besides you can always volunteer with your clique so you can pass the time and get the job done faster. The only things major that you would have to do in that type of situation is keep your priorities in order and don’t pick something that you would loath doing. You basically don’t have to make volunteering a chore that you dread, but something that could give you a great experience.
Let’s think what would happen if you don’t decide to volunteer or do something kind, for one, you wouldn’t graduate unless you try to find some way around it. Another is that people wouldn’t help you since you made no attempt to help them or be kind to them. Next, it could be the fact you could get a higher acceptance rate with colleges since they like the fact that you’re willing to help others and can juggles different types of things. Karma is another to this as well because if you do something good a good thing can happen to you and in this unfair world we need all the good things we can get. It will show you a great work ethic as well. If you think about it volunteering is just like working, but instead of being paid you gain insight, community service, and you can see how lucky you truly are.
Just as a scene from The Great Debaters said (The look at eyes of a child’s stomach swollen from hunger is unbearable). It fills me despair and rage to see other with no home or food and to see people defile places just because they feel like it. We might as well volunteer because it can be harmless to us and good for others and our environment.

Kingdom Hearts

There was a time where I would play video-games for hours o end.me I couldn't beat a There was one game I couldn't beat and it was called Kingdom Hearts 2. For a game with a reaction button, there was a boss that I couldn't beat so I stopped playing it for 2 months or so. One day I was bored so I picked it up and played it some more and I finally beat the boss and the game. It really shows that if you persevere you can do anything you put your mind to.

Creative Writing Essay Prompt 7

37. Most private schools require students to wear uniforms. Should public school students wear uniforms too? Argue for or against school uniforms for public school student's. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.

There have been various discussions about uniforms for public and private schools and I am not for it for either one of them. This isn’t a typical rant and rave or a false accusation that people don’t like uniforms, but it is a well known fact. Private schools think that if they have students wear uniforms it would give them a different mentality. Unfortunately, they have made a mistake that could be dire. For example, (there are people who pay for private schools and wear uniforms aren’t as spectacular as they may appear). People still get bad grades as well as expelled, so in the end clothes don’t make the student the student makes themselves. Now on the students who absolutely shouldn’t have to be forced to wear uniforms the public school students.
The only thing that private schools and public schools would have in common about uniforms is that they believe uniforms will make students behave, not get distracted, and make their schools and test scores improve. All of these things seem to be thought of with dubious intent. For example, (Inglewood High School doesn’t have a dress code or uniform, yet a lot of smart people go there and maintain the good grades). Another example is my school itself, (We are on the verge of uniforms and we have to wear a certain type of dress, but we still act the same and think the same as before so whatever thesis the people in charge of this dress code and uniform business was completely and utterly wrong). Our dress code was flimsy put together operation because an innocent person would get in tremendous trouble because if it. As an example, (We would always get scolded and we even got our activities taken away just because we don’t dress the way a certain person wants us to dress. It simply is appalling to be told what to wear and for no apparent reason.
Actually I know the reason why, it’s because people have been our principal lies or our students past to the principal and have tried to make a mockery of the school. It probably wasn’t thought how these other schools would know so much as they say “It takes one to know one”. We were always told to rise above what others say, think, and do to us and become that they know and we know we can be. Yet it seems like we have taken a tedious and cowardly approach. With all this talk of we want to suppose to be the best and rise above everything when we get criticized we cave and overreact. That seems to be the message we are given if we wear uniforms. The idea of conforming and to put a halt on our creativity and way of life shouldn’t be on the school’s curriculum.
School is said to have us gain knowledge and learn what challenges face us in the real world is up to ourselves and our family and friends, but it is not up to the school to prepare us for the real world it is up to them to give us knowledge. In the real world we are not required to wear uniforms unless a specific job. That is why they call it school and not job. As a final note I’m not trying to tell people to go to school in skimpy outfits just express yourself in a decent manner. So let students be free to wear what we want, live out their lives the way we want to live it, and give us the knowledge we will need.

Memoir

When I was a child I would always feel bad and not know why I have to go through such hardships. I always feel like I don’t belong anywhere and people don’t understand me. Who are other people to talk about or judge how other people want to express themselves. Especially, when they know they are no better than others. Every day I try to figure out what I can do to be accepted by others. I can’t stand myself when I try to fit it, in, want to be an individual. There was even a time where I thought that it would be better if I just tried to fit in.
Every time I would try the same thing would happen over and over. I would always do the things that I wanted to do. It seemed like I was trying to sabotage myself on purpose. Whether it was involuntary or voluntary is still unknown to me. The fact that I kept repeating my actions again and again is clear. Then, I started to wonder if I could really change the way I am and be accepted.
One night I had a spectacular dream. I was told by a mysterious sage to answer a riddle and I can find the answer to what I’m looking for. The sage told me “What you seek has the characteristics of water, illusion, and shadow.” I figured out the riddle, but when I was about to say the answer I woke up. I still had the answer in my head and I went towards it. I should have guessed that the answer was a mirror. All I could see was me, so I came to a conclusion that if I am the only one that can live my life so I should just be myself.

22. Carpooling, recycling, and planting trees are all activities that are good for the environment. Write an essay convincing readers to actively participate in one of these activities.

This is really nothing outrageous or unheard of; in fact this topic is the exact opposite. The environment is something that should be taken care of and not exploited. We shouldn’t take what we have for granted. Humans and animals don’t have to do that much just to keep the Earth healthy. Like it or not humans are the main cause for the Earth’s devastation. Look at what we have air pollution, murky water, lack of trees and parks, and last but not least dirty streets. All of which can be easily avoided if we put our resources together and try to make a change.
If you can’t accept the truth for what it is then I have to tell you what the outcome would be if try to eradicate more of our resources with no remorse. First, we would be covered in a cloud of endless smog. Second, our trees would all be cut down with no sprout in sight. Third, our oceans would go from a calm blue to an envious dark shaded green. Fourth, nothing but trash would be on the Earth’s surface. Finally, the Earth that we know now would turn into a place of despair and darkness. This reminds me of the Larux an old tale by Dr. Seuss.
The story that should give you an epiphany on the crisis that Earth could be in if we don’t retract our horrible ways. It told us about a man in search of wealth and power who would do anything in order to achieve what he wants. He chopped down a tree down in order to make furs so that people would buy them and he would become rich. He was told by the Larux( the one who speaks for the trees) to cease and desist immediately, but the man wouldn’t listen. He only had one goal in mind and that was wealth. The man said “Oh there’s plenty of trees to go around” and he kept chopping them down one after another. Then. his family members came and chopped down even more trees to make more fur.
The Larux tried and tried, but nobody would listen to his message or heed his warnings. Soon after the place that was filled with life and cheer became a dark, dreary, and desolate place. In the end the man sees the error of his ways and tells a child to plant the seed and start over. Does this story sound familiar to you if not it will unless we do something about this hazardous treatment to the environment. There are a lot of easy ways to do it we just have to get off our lazy hides and do it? Take the same car with others to your destination it cuts down on smog, traffic, gas, and on oil. Recycling all you have to do is put bottles, cans, and paper in a blue or green bin how hard is that?
Planting a tree all that requires is you putting an acorn in some dirt and pouring water on it in a spot that is rich in sunshine. If you think about it all of these things are simple ways to avoid a major crisis. So why not give a little to make a great change?

Creative Writing Essay Prompt 5

27. For centuries, people have wondered about the possibility of life on other planets in the universe. Do you believe extra terrestrial life exist? Write an essay persuading others to share your point of view.

I have seen this discussed, thought about it, and even discussed this topic myself, yet I haven’t come to a conclusion about extra terrestrials. That fact if aliens are real or just a fabrication of the mind. I believe that aliens do exist. Not the extra terrestrials like in most movies where they do nothing but invade, kill, and probe innocent people. The fact that extra terrestrials have visited Earth in the past has been talked about, but has there been any solid proof. In my opinion rocks and caves don’t seem to be enough. People should also stop over exaggerating about extra terrestrials.
The accusations that people have made about aliens will give you one or two of these three options. First, the scientific fact that extra terrestrials exist and life live on other planets. Second, sheer paranoia that extra terrestrials will come down and cause mass destruction. Last but not least, the fact that extra terrestrials absolutely don’t exist. The only reasonable choice would be the first one. I men come on now if you forget everything that you were told to believe and thought about it you wouldn’t be able to turn your head from the truth.
If people think that extra terrestrials would come down and try to cause massive damage and just leave out of nowhere makes no sort of sense. Why in the world would beings from another planet come over here to cause nothing but harm for no apparent reason? Then again why do people decide to do anything mischievous in the world we call Earth. So for that one let’s believe in extra terrestrials and keep our guard up at all times as well. Another thing isn’t most of these wild accusations made for movie, television, and comic book purposes only. Like people would always tell you whether you like it or not” You shouldn’t believe everything you hear, see, or read”.
The premise that people refuse to believe that there is other life on other planets or in other galaxies is preposterous. It seems like people are just guessing on this topic. I’m not going to generalize everyone with that ides because some people have pondered on this and came up with this conclusion. I suggest that everyone be honest with others and themselves like how many planets have we really investigated. I find it kind of hard to believe that after you search some planets in this universe and find nothing you would quit. We haven’t even been to different universes. What about the super top secret and exclusive Area 51.
If extra terrestrials were nothing but fabrication of someone’s thoughts why does this place even exist? Who would go to all of that trouble to make a place to keep and do study on aliens if they are nonexistent? Now I can’t forced you to believe in extra terrestrials or believe in what I believe, but I’m persuading you to at least take another look at this theory and review the hardcore evidence and not the phony things people try to fool with.

Float

Love floats in the ocean
Covered in a robe of purity
Swimming gracefully like a Dolphin
Breathing Calmly
Love is glass
Hearts and minds can grasp it.

2. Dreams soar through minds
Draped in optimistic views
Looking like if your wildest imagination has come true
Yelling for its desires
Dreams are wishes
All hands on deck to reach your dreams.
3. Stars stream in space
Wearing everyone’s wishes
Like a platinum, gold, or silver diamond
Singing our hopes and dreams
Stars are our guide
Warriors rise up to become a star.

Creative Writing Prompt #3

In order to save money your principal is thinking about cancelling all field trips for the remainder of the school year. Wirte an essay persuading your him or her to allow students to continue attending field trips. Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.
Dear Principal Brown,
I feel that our school should have the right to go on field trips at the end of the year. Since we have the dress code and no activities at school we should have some sort of positive outlook on this. Sure we come to school to learn to learn, but it doesn’t mean that we should be treated like prisoners. To the people that say I am over reacting you have to simply ponder on this for a while. Prisoners are told what to do, wear, speak, and act and so are we. The sad part is even prisoners get to express themselves in some way, so why not have our field trips for the rest of the year?
The other students and I haven’t done anything wrong so why are we being treated like this. We constantly sell and buy loads of things at school, but what is the point if we can’t do anything with all of that money. You’re not the only one to blame because our school has little to no funding. We still can use our resources to raise our own money without excess tax. It would be best because they’re wouldn’t be people taking advantage of us and abusing our funds. It’s as they say (if you raise your own money for something you want no one else can tell you what to spend it on). It seems to be a problem that can easily be solved.
For the people who say that school is just a place to learn do you really believe that or are you just putting up a front. If you truly believed that then you wouldn’t have friends, or a social life. You wouldn’t ask questions and try to go out and eat. Lastly, you wouldn’t care about your school, what you wear, nor do your homework and try to get your community service hours. Unfortunately, you still all or most of things, but you claim you are only go there to learn. You can think about at a different time because we have to do something about these field trips.
Believe it or not most field trips aren’t as expensive as people make them out to be. Some field trips can be free, so the busses won’t be a problem. I’m not just complaining or trying to instigate, but I’m making a valid point as well. You also have to think about the students’ opinion in this sort of matter. People have worked hard semester after semester and we deserve a break once in a blue moon. We are also old enough to have a field trip that is educational, but not give us such limited time and spaces to go to.
We are old enough to know what’s what so you don’t have to sugar code things for us. It would be better for everyone if you tell it to us straight because that is a part of the real world like we are repeatedly told to prepare for. If we work hard I’m sure we can have field trips without going over budget or being bleed dry.

Pet

I do have a dog, but if I couldn't have a dog I would probably have a rabbit. It would be a black rabbit with red, grey, or brown eyes. I wouldn't want it to be big so it would be small. It would be named babbit (for black rabbit). The only way I could take care of it is to feed it lettuce and carrots, not flaunt it, and find a way to walk it.

dream

In this dream I was chosen to save the world from a dark covenant. In this dream I was at school with a mallet and a white streak in my hair. The teacher screamed at me for falling asleep in class and sent me out. So I thought since I got sent out anyway I might as well have some fun so I danced, sung, played video games, watched TV, and ate some pudding. Then out of nowhere the sun was set and I saw a mysterious figure. The only thing I could make of them was there black robe and grey eyes. I asked who they were, but I didn’t prevail.
All of a sudden the mysterious figure starting to chant pulled out a platinum ring, and rush toward me. Using a function on my mallet I leaped over the figure and shot a laser at them, but it was a misfire. I had to use almost every weapon I my arsenal for this opponent. Then, they rushed me and forced the ring on me. Lightning came from the ring and I started to faint. The figure was disappearing, but I put a tracking device on them so I could find them later on. Then I woke up in the dream and in real life.

dinosaur

I woke up on a Saturday afternoon and saw a pterodactyl. I was gigantic and ate like a glut. I then went outside to talk to the dinosaur. It was acting strange so I use my bioscope and I noticed it was sick. I then went on an adventure to find a remedy for it. I later noticed the FBI was in hot pursuit of the dinosaur, so I had to rush home on my rocket skates. I make it in the nick of time to give the dinosaur the remedy and wave it goodbye.

fear

My deepest fear is something kind of silly at first glance, but if you really look at it you will be able to comprehend it. My fear is that I will fall and not have courage to get back up. People say when you fall it’s easy to get back up, but they don’t know the trials you must face to get back to your former glory. I always had a fear of heights and falling so this make my deepest fear worse. On that day when I’m suppose to fall I hope I can prevent it or climb back up.

He/she car

He/she got out of the car, waved their mom good bye, and they saw a friend getting jumped by 5 people. Knowing they couldn’t look the other way chivalry took over and they rushed into action. She/he managed to take down one person with nothing but brute force. The other four saw and two of them came and ambushed him/her. She/he had them at first, but then they got pinned to a fence. Oddly enough they chose that time to reminisce about the person they once were. Hoping to never have history repeat itself they gained a burst of energy
Their eyes turned a cold dark black and suddenly she/he punched both of the people down to the ground and went for the other two. Their force was so menacing she/he was able to take on all 5 of them by them self, but still the nice person that he/she is helped the five to a vey filthy bench and walked his/her friend home.

tv

Honestly I don’t think that six hours of TV a day is outrageous as people try to make it sound. It’s not right to condone six straight hours of TV, but there are people in the world who do nothing but watch TV all day. Six hours seems to pale in comparison to 12 to 24 hours. If you do nothing but watch TV it would damage you physically and mentally. Everyone should know the saying that television will degenerate your brain if you watch too much of it. For the ones who don’t it basically states that if you watch too much television you will lose sight of everything else in your existence. If you’re going to do nothing except gaze at the so called “idiot box” you will become lazy not to mention easily distracted.
The only major physical damages you can get from watching TV would be poor eye sight and hard of hearing. Those can easily be avoided if you simply sit in an appropriate place to while the TV, while having it at a moderate volume. Now coming from me this may sound kind of odd, but it would be best for everyone if you take a small break from television each day. It would be better you and your parents because you would finally get the off your back and they can think you’re doing something productive with your time. Someone once told me if you spend a lot of time pretending to do something you will end up doing something profound. It’s also funny how people have constant complaints about how there is nothing to watch on TV, but they continue to watch. Now for the fools who constantly do this you can do one of the two options.
The options are you can well let’s change the channel and find something interesting to watch or you can do something constructive with your time. I would suggest you do something constructive because chances are if you are watching all of this television you haven’t done your homework, chores, or kept you hygiene in check. By some chance you have managed to do everything that was expected of you well congrats then and you should reward yourself because you deserved it. This doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you feel like because somewhere in between you would need some rest. That’s another point because of you’re constantly viewing the tube there is a high chance that you didn’t get enough sleep. Lack of sleep has its own consequences like sleeping through something important, forgetting to help someone in need, and last but not least missing out on numerous opportunities. In general a mind is a terrible thing to waste and you can’t sleep your way through life.
Trust me with as much television as I watch I can relate with you that at times it’s just relaxing to sit back and watch some TV while eating a delicious snack. In short you can do numerous activities instead of watch television, so why not try?

My Pirate Ship Tale

My friends have been arguing quite some time so one day during spring break my friends and I went to pier. We had lots of snacks like pizza, soft pretzels, ice cream, and smoothies. Somehow, we got into a whack-a-mole contest (where I was victorious). Not wanting my prizes I gave them to my friends Hakeema and Lashon, but in the mist of it all it got blown away and everyone went after it. All of a sudden, a pirate ship crashed into the pier we all thought it was a ride or a very realistic prop so we went inside. Then, we saw them PIRATES!
They were like the pirates in the movies, but these pirates seemed more sinister and were willing to do anything to get what they wanted. So while my friends picked the worst time to argue I thought quickly and convinced them that we can help them find the Platinum Royal. The leader said while he clicked his gun “Take one wrong step matey and I’ll make sure you die where you stand. As time went by we were getting closer and closer to the treasure Jordan told everyone the plan he overheard. Secretly thinking something like this would happen (Sean, Ayriana, and I devised a master plan on how to get the treasure, go back home, and not get blown away by the pirates). Now is the time to carry out or plan.

My Surprise Party Extravaganza

If my best friend’s parents allowed me to plan his or her party I would make it an extravaganza. My friends and I know that whenever I have a plan it is a complete fabrication from my mind and at times it can have dire consequences. To start off the explicit extravaganza I would blindfold my friend and lead them to a movie theater filled with all of their best friends. His or her favorite movie would be on display and I would make sure they had their favorite food. In the movie theater we would also have fireworks, BBQ, video games, music, a waffle station, and last but not least a piñata. All of those are sure to captivate the guest of honor. Of I wouldn’t forget my friend’s birthday cake even with all of this planning.
My friend’s cake would be their favorite flavor, as tall as them, and have sparklers and candles on it. If my friend doesn’t like cake they will have a special birthday pie ala mode which wouldn’t have to be an apple pie per say. Now I’m sure you’re wondering how I will organize all of this. It would be pretty simple since I am very good at planning and when it comes to having an active imagination I excel. Of course since I can’t get off scot free I will have to atone for all of this. In the end it wouldn’t be a last minute party or a simple run or the mill party either, but a party I’m sure my friend would always remember.

One Thing

The one thing I hope I’m good at is singing. I have sung for as long as I can remember. I sing all day every day without a care in the world. Sadly I have sung in front of many audiences, but I’m still sure if I can sing as well as others. Despite that I know that I can wonderful things with my ability to sing.

Powersuper Superpower

If I could have any power I would probably take the power of invisibility. I would like to be invisible it has many useful attributes. If I had that power I would learn the major secrets that people always try to hide. The last thing I would probably do is secretly travel the world.

Haiku

As the sun and moon
Shine upon you your heart and
Your star will guide you.

It takes courage to
Step back than to try to move
Forward on your path.

A flower that grows
Throughout the land brings back memories
Of loved ones.

Spring the season where
Everythingin the dark
Shall come to the light.

If a tree can grow
On it's own why can it not
regrow from a stump?

Will you live a life
Blind to the truth or will you
See behind the trees.

Why want acceptance
If you want to remain an
Individual.

The platinum knight
Shall erase everyone's
doubts and save us all.

What is the true cure
For darkness is it light or
Is love the answer?

Will you accept that
Your dream was denied or will
You make it come true?

A time where it felt like I could fly


A time where it felt like I could fly was not too recent from this year. The time where I thought I could fly was after I watched TV before I went to bed. I was very tired so I felt like I could do almost anything. I had a small dream that I became an emissary of light and I had to protect the people of the Earth form being manipulated and losing to the evil forces and the doubts in their mind. So I was fine an epic battle against three queens of the Land of Bugs and they combined their powers to form a ray that blast me off of their palace where I would fall to my death. Until he subjects of the kingdom leant me their power. So I became the one who shall guide you with destructive light.
            So at that point gravity didn’t matter to me. Every time one of the evil queens would try to knock me down I would rise back with a vengeance. The feeling was amazing like when I fall I was in slow motion and I would stop in midair and have a burst of stardust push me back to the evil queens. At the climax of my epic battle I would fly up to purify and destroy the evil forces that tormented the subjects of the Land of Bugs. I was then congratulated on my victory and woke up.

Creative Writing Essay #2 Allowance

Many parents give children a weekly or monthly allowance regardless of their behavior because they believe an allowance teaches children to be financially responsible. Other parents only give children an allowance after completing chores or when or when they have behaved properly. Explain what you think parents should do and why.
           
            I believe that parents should always give their children a monthly allowance keeping their behavior and work ethic in mind. I believe this is the best way for everyone. If parents give their children money knowing they are bad and neglecting their chores it would teach their children they can get away with anything. In life that is not the case. Think of it this way (Why should people who work hard every day not receive anything for their work, while people who do nothing are being spoiled)? When our parents were children most of them either didn’t get an allowance or work extremely hard for one so this could have influence their choice on allowance. Some would give their children an allowance regardless of behavior (so their kids can have all the things they didn’t have when they were young). Others would have their children work for an allowance (so their children can learn the same lessons they did).
            There are a lot of negatives and positives when it comes to allowance. My mother told me “If a child doesn’t get an allowance they will be willing to do anything for money.” To me that is true as an example (a teenager wants to do something nice for their family and themselves, but he has no money so he or she will either get a job or ask someone for it). However, nothing in life is ever free so they would have to pay a price large or small. On a different, yet important note parents can’t just think everything will be ok with their children’s allowance situation. To me allowance is just half of the bridge towards financial responsibility. The rest is and will always up to the children.
            The only questions I want to ask parents are (if you would give your child an allowance regardless of their behavior what would make you think that your child will use good judgment with money if they don’t use good judgment in general)? For the parents who have their children work for an allowance (can having your children work for their allowance teach them financial responsibility or just a good work ethic)? Lastly, for the parents on the opposing sides (will everything that you have learned as a child be the correct way to teach your children)? As time goes by people and ways of teaching will change even you don’t notice it. I’m not saying that you should change every way you want to raise your child, but you can’t ignore the fact that some of your methods are outdated. If you think about it in the end are any of the choices discussed stellar ideas for a person’s financial responsibility? So I think that parents should have their children work for their money and let them figure out their own financial plan, while still giving them some guidance.

Creative Writing Essay Prompt 1


          Some people want to go straight to college while others want to take a year to relax or work.I believe everyone should take a year off and do something that they always wanted to do so they will have a fresh start for college with few distractions.For example people tend to get jobs and not be able to handle the stress of working and serious studying.That's why you should get a job after or during high school so you can have money for your books, other supplies, clothes, and meal plan.Other people will complain about not doing something they wanted to do and will end up getting caught up and loosing sight on what is really important.Think of it this way with all of this partying and eploring you need to sleep so where does your time for work go.Now don't get me wrong I know what it's like to want to go off to college right away.
            The hopes of going to college and trying to reach your dreams are overwhelming.The rush of pledging to join a fraternity or sorority will convince you to go.That optimistic feeling you get of wanting to experience college and all it has to offer you.The cocky feeling everyone has saying that you are ready for anything can have you leave before you are ready.As another example your family and friends are nudging you to go to college having you think that everything will be okay.Even thought they may be trying to help you sometimes they are only hurting you in that process.Last but not least,the summer orientation that prepares you for college and gives you the basics for it would make you want to rush even more.
            For the people who say that they are going to college right after high school I have some questions for you.Did you want to go to college at first, if so what college are you going to?If not what made you change your mind?Are you going to follow someone else's path or are you making your own?Are you ready for the physical and mental challeneges of college,work,and other activities?For the people who want to take a year off of college I ask you after you take the year off to do to live out your journey will you want to go college?Keep in mind this is not to question you or say what you think is wrong, but to make sure that are sure of your descision and ready for what's up ahead.
            The time for you to go to college or on your journey is drawing near.It is time to think of what you want to be and reach for the stars.It is okay to fall so that you will be prepared for the next attemped.So let's enjoy life for what it is,not let it's oppurtunities pass you by,reach our dreams,and see the world for what it is.
