Poetry In Humans Essay, Research Paper

I plan to play a lot of basketball this summer. We will probably end up going to

nationals in Orlando, which would be a lot of fun. I will lift a lot of weights

to get stronger also. Other than playing basketball, I will be going to Oregon

and visiting friends and family. I should spend about 3 weeks there. I will

obviously work on my tan. I plan to work on learning the bass guitar. That

should be a lot of fun, because I have a lot of musical talent that I haven?t

had the time to use. I think that peer-pressure for me right now isn?t bad at

all. I am not being pushed into drugs heavily, or anything else that is illegal.

The pressure to perform well in basketball is high right now. I am not liking

that, I feel that I will probably take a break from playing ball relatively

soon. Because of my peer-pressure in basketball, I have not had much time to do

school work. It get frustrating when your teachers get mad at you for not doing

your work, when it really isn?t your fault. I think I have put lots of work

into my school year. I will stay up all night sometimes to do projects, like I

am doing right now. Considering I have basketball, school, chores, weights, and

friends to deal with, I think that I am doing alright. Some teachers just are

never satisfied though. I am excelling well in all of those categories. Next

year I will do a lot better in school though. I need to come out of high school

with about a 3.4 GPA. I don?t necessarily have a dream car. There are many

cars that interest me, but none that out-weight the rest. I am sufficient at

time management skills. I definitely could improve in that area, but for all the

things that I have to do in one day, I think that I do a plenty good job. As I

said 2 paragraphs ago, I will be spending more time on school next year, which

means that something will have to give a little. I believe that something will

be basketball. I don?t think there should be but one rule in the dress code. I

think that the only rule should be that you can?t come to school naked.

Telling kids what they can and cannot wear because it is ?revealing? is

stupid. The reason that the code is even put there, is because of all the horny

guys in this school of ours. So the stupid principal forces a dress code on the

student population, which is mainly put in for the girls. If men are so big on

respecting girls, then why do they dictate what the girl can and cannot wear. I

would like to see change in this rule soon. I think that having a pager or cell

phone is perfectly fine. As long as the pager or phone isn?t on in class, it

should be fine to have on campus. There is no danger. The paranoid geezers of

this school are worried about drug deals if you have either of these. Well that

is none of their business of who does drugs and who doesn?t. Leave it to the

cops to take care of things like that. I think that it is just a big power

struggle, and the adults don?t want to compromise because they think that we

are ?lower? than them. I think that this is a form of prejudice and it

should be stopped. I don?t think there should be a ?legal? age for when

you can get a job. If the person has the skills required, then they should be

able to get the job. Telling a person when they can begin earning money in my

opinion is wrong. I think it violates some kind of law. Considering all of the

geezer adults in the country are all anal about law and stuff, they should pay

attention to this one more carefully. Schools should definitely have more

classes that students are interested in. Teens wont pay attention in class if it

isn?t interesting to hear. I think that if they just made the curriculum more

interesting, then there would be better grades. If they had a whole new class

that students wanted to take, then that would be even better, because there

would be student activity in the class. Again it relates back to the big power

struggle of adults wanting to be the ?Billy badass? of the school. No.

Schools should hold a few a year, and have job opportunities at them as well.

I.E. a company comes and tells you about themselves, and then offers jobs to

students who are interested. There should also be the kind of companies that you

can only work for if you have a higher education. A mixture of both would be

good for the school and the community. No. I think that America is definitely

the ?world police? and we should be able to put boundaries between us and

other countries, if we are going to protect everyone. This might backfire on

America though, because it will anger the other countries, and they will come

against us and take us out. People definitely rely on machines too much. If they

didn?t then there would be less overweight people. I think that machines will

eventually run the world. We will make artificial intelligence, and then it will

backfire, just like everything else that we make does. I think that humans

should just plant forests, and get rid of cities, and go live in tribes. We have

done it before and we can do it again. It will help global warming, and the

population will go down? which is good. I don?t think that people were meant

to live in such large quantities. I think that there shouldn?t be a world. If

I could invent a bomb that could destroy the earth, I would invent it, and use

it. It would put an end to all of this misery. If there is a heaven, good, we

are all happy there. If there isn?t a heaven, and we just ?die? then we

wont know that we are dead. Either way, it is a win, win situation. Memphis

definitely needs more tourist attractions. Lots of people come here every year

to go on vacation. We need more things for them to do, so that Memphis can have

another large source of income. I think that Memphis is too dependant on one

source of income, and it will hurt us in the long run.
