Hmmmmm......

             When something bad happens that involves myself or more than one person, the situation may take some analyzing to decide who is at fault. For example, in a situation where someone is borrowing a car and ends up receiving a ticket because there was a lack of brake lights. The owner could be blamed because of the absence of lights. The borrower could also be blamed for this incident because he/she should have made sure the car was more reliable. The car could have been easily examined by the person in need. In a situation like this, I would begin to break apart and dissect the whole situation.
            First I would look at how the situation could have been prevented. The owner could have notified his/her friend about the problem instead of leaving him hanging. I would also look at how the situation started. A friend was in need to borrow a car because of lack of transportation. Therefore, the situation would be left to opinion. The people involved would have to determine which idea seems more reasonable or logical to actually come to a conclusion.

Roller Coaster... Whaaa....

Thinking back a couple of years ago, I am able to recall one of the most difficult projects I have ever had to complete. In the middle of eighth grade year, my class was assigned a project in science. While we were learning about energy and its many forms, our teacher decided to make class a little more entertaining by having several groups of students create hand made rollercoasters. This project seemed like it was going to be an easy “A”. But little did I know, it was going to be a bit harder than I thought.

These rollercoasters not only had to look good and stretch a certain distance, but they actually had to operate fully 3 times without messing up or falling off track. Like I said, this may sound like fun, but it is very tricky. The trickiest part of this project had to be the assembling of the rollercoaster and transporting it to the school. Once the pieces were all measured and cut, the actual gluing and fitting was very tough. Gluing tiny pieces of wood together is harder than one may think.

Once finally assembled, the rollercoaster had to fit into the car and also stay in one piece. That ride to school was terrifying, Flinching at every bump and not letting my eyes or hands off of the rollercoaster for one second paid off. Finally we dropped of the coaster to class and our mission was a success! It took my group a couple of tries to get it to work properly, but we did it. All of our hard work and persistence had finally paid off!

The Unknown...

            Throughout the ages, people have traveled and explored the unknown. When I think of exploring the unknown, the first people that pop into my head are Christopher Columbus (America) or the Dutch and Portuguese. These people all explored lands that were unfamiliar. Because of these interests, amazing discoveries were made.

            While I may not be exactly sure why some people chose to devote their entire lives to exploring, searching, and discovering the unknown, my best guess would have to be curiosity. Curiosity gets the best of many of us when it comes to several different matters. Curiosity may not be the situation every time though, but I am guessing it is not uncommon. While searching for a direct water route west from Europe to Asia, Christopher Columbus ended up in America. This shows that there are various reasons for exploring the unknown.

            Such A devotion and dedication to exploration also involves some sacrifice. One who is truly devoted to this, and matter alike, may incorporate this into every aspect of life. It may become a hard to quit habit and may get controlling. The excitement and thrill may take over. Once ones life is taken over almost completely by the unknown, who knows what will be discovered.
