GMOs

GMOs are genetically modified organisms. GMOs can be plants or animals and are created by taking DNA from other organisms to make modified ones. Monsanto is one company that makes GMOs, many people consider Monsanto an evil corporation.

I think that this is a very strange and risky thing to do. The reason for this is because from the tests that have been preformed showed cancer tumors in rats. So we still don't fully understand the pros and cons of this process for genetically modifying plants and animals.

Free Choice

Video games, thousands of people play them for hours on end. Why do they play them? because they can do whatever they want when ever they want. Certain games let you do things that you couldn't normally do in real life, and  people find this entertaining. When you play you depending on the game you get you could be the hero or the villain, and get and do things that are supernatural or perhaps illegal without consequence in real life.

The games range from many different types of themes. If you like guns and violence there are a large vary of games to choose from such as, Black Ops 2, the Assassin's Creed series, the Elder Scrolls series, and many more that may interest you. There is also the possibility of suspenseful games that can scare you, learning games, and games that can help you stay in shape.Weather or not you don't like one there is likely to be one that you will find and enjoy.

Some people on the other hand think that games are bad for kids because the become sheltered and anti social. I disagree with this statement because I think that games do not do this people become anti social because they just are or something in there life has happened to were they become that way. Also another common thing people say about games is that they make kids violent, this is true in a little way such as they may tend to get angry at the game because they cannot do something, but it is  also a way to safely vent your anger without hurting any real person or thing. Studies have also shown that people who play video games tend to have better hand-to-eye coordination than others. There is also the statement that they help problem solving because of all the problems that have to be solved in order to complete the game. I personally think video games are entertaining and do help with problem solving and being bored. 

Being Charitable

The charity that I have chosen is the "Abandoned Children's Fund". This charity helps the children all over the world that have been abandoned by their parents/caretakers. The charity has been awarded the ICA seal of excellence.

The reason that I have chosen this charity is because I think it is wrong to just abandon children, especially the ones that aren't old enough to take care of them selfs. They have been left to die because someone was cruel enough to leave them for what ever reason they may have had. Most of these children because they have been abandoned are easily taken advantage of and are victims of starvation, death, diseases, sexual abuse, and abduction.

 These children need the help of us to protect them and make sure nothing bad like these thing happen to them ever/ever again. Without our help these children will die. So I would like to donate to this charity to help all the abandon children in the world.

My Expertise

I have very little to no expertise, but one thing I know I am good at is not speaking/being quiet at school. This has been something I have done for many many years, I have hoped to break it but have not been even close to successful. For the future though I want to be an expert in graphical designs and not as quiet . I have also hoped to do this for a while.

Being quiet/not speaking is actually not as hard as some people make it, some have games to see who can be quiet the longest and some think it is difficult, it really isn't. First off you just have to not speak...to anyone, at least not unless you really have to which surprisingly is not that often. Next just focus on something that doesn't concern anyone but you. After a while you will start to think about stuff like this more often and you will focus only on that until you have to  do school work and then after you can go right back to your own thoughts.

Eventually you will get bored of it, but there are some advantages to it, your grades will get better, you will have a better understanding of yourself, and others. Unfortunately there are disadvantages such as, you may not have many if not any friends, you may start speaking to yourself, not in reminding yourself of something or just randomly it will happen a lot and in full conversations. But for some it is really hard to do others it comes naturally were they can do that in school and go back to being social, and others will just stay antisocial and quiet unless there around family. As I said I don't have expertise in anything much just being silent.

The Best Thing I Did This Summer

During the summer I didn't do very much at all. The most exciting thing I did was I moved back to California. Before this I was living in Arizona with my dad and stepmother. When I was out there I didn't like it very much and was really wanting to move back out here. I never really got to do much in Arizona because my dad and stepmother were/are christians (very over excessively) so I didn't get to go out with friends that they thought were to "worldly" and I wasn't allowed to watch any TV except for what they watched which normally consisted of game shows and "Dora" for my little sister.

When I was there I normally just sat inside and tried to sleep, but that also was taken away from me by my stepmother who said I had to stay awake and clean or watch the kids. Other than that I went out to the back yard and dug holes, so when I heard I was moving back to California I was happy...for awhile at least. The rest of the summer I was just happy to be back in California and went to go see movies. After all  was over I just got ready to go back to school.
