My Wisdom

When I  have kids, I wouldn't like for them to become involved with drugs. I've seen many people fall into drug addiction and I personally think it's sad. I would inform my kids of how drugs can affect someone both physically and emotionally. I would also show them the substances myself so that they would know when to say no if offered. 

Drugs can kill people but it can also be "fun" to some people. When I have kids I know it would be hard to keep them away from  drugs but I would try my hardest for them not to be doing drugs. Any person can fall into the world of drugs. My kids will not fall into this because I would not allow them to. I wouldn't want my kids to do drugs because I believe it would really affect them in school and with their emotions. I would teach my kids about the long term effects of every drug.

Heroin

Heroin is an opiate, a class of drugs that are either naturally derived from the flowers of the poppy plant, or synthetic substitutes.Heroin can be used in a variety of ways depending on user preference and the purity of the drug. It can be injected into a vein or muscle, smoked in a water pipe or standard pipe, mixed in a marijuana joint or regular cigarette, inhaled as smoke through a straw, or snorted as powder via the nose.

Its federal classification is Schedule I. Heroin is a highly addictive, illegal drug. It is used by millions of addicts around the world who are unable to overcome the urge to continue taking this drug every day of their lives.In a short amount of time, regular heroin use destroys the body. Common conditions that plague heroin users include infection of the heart lining and valves, liver disease, lung disease, and hepatitis and HIV/AIDS from needle use. Heroin is a really bad drug and I think it's sad how people, especially teens, use this drug.

Friday Brain Day

1. Two. Weigh three of the doughnuts against three others and leave the remaining two on the table. If the scales are even, the heavy doughnut is one of the two on the table -- weigh them to find out. If the scales are uneven, take the three doughnuts on the heavy end, weigh one of them against another, and leave the third on the table. If the scales are uneven, you've found the heavy one. If not, the heavy one is the one on the table.

In my opinion, I believe that smoking is a very bad thing to do because it can cause cancer, strokes, and heart disease.  Smoking doesn't only affect the smoker, but the people who pass by and breathe in the smoke. People who smoke cigarettes have troubles with their breathing and tend to cough a lot. Cigarettes can cause yellow skin, teeth, and fingernails. I really dislike the smell of the smoke.

Cigarettes contain many unhealthy things in them. Not only are they unhealthy but they are really expensive. I think that people should save that money and spend it on more productive things other than cigarette packs. Some people even buy up to 5 packs a week. Smoking can become an addiction that could be very hard to overcome. I think smoking can be dangerous and bad for people.

My Favorite Band

My favorite band is named The Strokes. I really enjoy their music because it is relaxing, but it has a really nice rock tune to it. Their genre is Indie Rock. Their lead singer is super talented and I find him to be very attractive. I remember that the first time I heard one of their songs was on Guitar Hero Legends of Rock.

Their band consists of the lead singer, two guitarists, a bassist, and a drummer. They make a great band because they all compliment each other. My favorite song by them is called Call Me Back. They have released 8 albums all together. I think they are great artists and I love their band.

The first song I ever heard from them is called Reptilia. It was so much fun to play on the game. Their music is really peaceful sometimes but it can also have that rock beat to it. I like to listen to their songs while I'm riding my bike or just relaxing at home. I love their music and the band. The are my favorite and always have been.

My Favorite Movie

My favorite movie is called 500 Days of Summer. I really like this movie because it's a romantic comedy. Throughout the movie, it shows the relationship of two people and how it comes to an end because of how careless the girl was. This movie shows a lot of cool places and I thought it was a great movie.

When I first saw this movie, I thought it was a bit confusing, but once I thought about it, it made more sense to me. I think this movie became my favorite movie because of the music included in the movie. I really like the soundtrack for this movie. The Smiths are included and I love them so much.

There's a part in the movie where they play his expectations and the reality. That part made me realize that not everything happens the way that we expect it to. I would really recommend people to go watch this movie because it's a funny and cute movie. Some parts are sad but it's a really good movie.

My Super Brain

1. 3 quarters, 4 dimes, 4 pennies = $1.19

2.  You pull out an apple from the mixed box, then you pull out an apple from the apple piles. So you label the first mixed then the second apples then by knowledge you know the last one is oranges.

3. Dump the full 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug leaving only 2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug, so then dump the water in the 3 gallon jug out and out the 2 gallons that were remaining in the 5 gallon jug and then fill in the 5 gallon jug thus making 7 gallons of water total.
    3a. Fill up the 3 gallon jug and dump it into the 5 gallon jug and then do it again until the 5 gallon jug is full thus leaving you with one gallon in the 3 gallon jug then dump the water from the 5 gallon jug and put the remaining gallon of water from the 3 gallon jug and refill the the 3 gallon jug and then you have 4 gallons of water total.

Culinary Arts

 Culinary arts is the art of preparing and cooking food. The word "culinary" is defined as something related to, or connected with, cooking. A culinarian working in restaurants is commonly known as a cook or a chef. When I graduate high school I want to go to San Francisco and study culinary arts over there. The cool thing about culinary schools is that you don't need to get straight A's in high school to get accepted, as long as you have a high school diploma and a passion for food, you are accepted. By the time I am 18 I want to be studying and learning in San Francisco. I graduate at 17 and I will have a job so I will save up money and move by the time I'm 18. When I'm in my early 30's I want to own my own restaurant and if i don't own one I want to work at a 4 or 5 star restaurant.

The name of the school I want to go to is called Culinary Institute of America, it is one of the best schools in America. I want to get a Bachelors degree in culinary arts but in order to do that i must go to New York because that school has a bigger campus and more classes. Once I finish my Bachelors degree I would like to go to Europe and study different cuisine. For example, I would like to go to Paris and study over there for a couple years and come back and open a resteraunt with various cuisines.

This is my passion and my dream and I am not gonna stop and nobody is going to discourage me. I am going to try my best at this because I want to succeed. I have been cooking little things for my family for years now and I've always found cooking to be my passion. Culinary arts is my passion and this is what I want to be as my career and I won't stop until I get it because I can then support from my family and I wont give up.

My Favorite Hobby

Hobbies are great things to have. It can help you get rid of the boredom that you deal with when you have nothing to do. Hobbies vary on the different types of people. My hobby is to learn how to play the guitar. Sometimes it can be very hard but I find it to be fun, really relaxing, and it's a great way to spend time.

This is the 50th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar

Playing guitar is a great and fun hobby because it helps me learn new things and enjoy myself. I want to buy a new guitar because my old guitar isn't as smooth as before. Playing the guitar is a very popular hobby and millions of people do it. I love guitars. Some can say that I love music. I like almost every type of music, especially  music.

Guitars come in different shapes, sizes, and colors.

Ever since I was little I would always listen to  Queen, Metallica, The Smiths, and many more like them. I remember that I'd love to hear the guitar solos because they sounded so great to me. Guitars make beautiful sounds and they are so amazing. This is my hobby and I love it, and there's nothing that can change that.
