At my young age i am in various clubs and organations. One of my most proudest organization would be the schools peer mediators. I learned how to deal with peoples feelings in this organization, and i use these skills daily. Almost everyday there is a conflict at school where students get into an argument with each other, and me and a fellow member discuss their feelings toward eachother. hopefully by doing this we will resolve their conflict. I am also a member on the Track team. the coaches on the team help me learn how to throw the shot put.

Being the first president of the United States of America would be awsome. I would be able to set the bar. Because there has never been a president before i could set the bar. Everyone that is president after i am done will more than likley follow in my footsteps, and have the same charateristics as me depending on how well i do. Being the first president of the United States of America will also be hard. I would not know where to begin because noone has ever had ths job before. Overal it would be good because noone will have expectations, so they wont know if i do something wrong. This maybe true but i will also get to set the bar of expectations.

If able to tame any animal i would want a big ginormous dinosaur. I all ways appreciated dinosaurs when i was little, and i all ways dreamed how cool it would be to tame one. I am a big fan of Steven Spielberg's, Jurassic Park. The dinosaurs in this movie were amazing fascinating animals. If able to choose which type of dinosaur i would choose i would choose the tyrannosaurus Rex. That way if anyone got mad at me i would be able to take care of them...if you get what i mean, and none would be able to stop it. The dinosaur would even be able to give me rides, so it would save me gas money.

To be the first person to go around the earth would be exilerating. It would be frightening. The mixture of excitment and fear would make it the best experience. Knowing that if i succeed people years from then would write learning logs about my adventure. How awsome would that be? It is probablly the best feeling. Glen had to have felt exstatic about knowing that long after he is gone people will remember him for what he did on earth. He was the first to actually see the entire earth with his own eyes from space. He had to have felt the mostt succesful person at that time.

If i were to make a childrens television show it would strickly educational, because at a young age kids like to learn. This means that a lot of children will watch my t.v. show aand making me millions of dollars. I would make the title apealing to kids; something such as, "The Smart Kid Show', so that the fids will think they are smart for watching the show even if they are not as smart as the average person. The information in the show will be material from basic elementary school subjects, such as Math, Literature, Science, and History. This way the show will at least be benificial for the students, and parents wouldnt mind if their kids watched the show. You know you are doing something right when the parents are on your side.

I always enjoyed Pluto being the ninth planet in our solar system. It was none for being one of the smallest planets in our solar system, but that is what brought the attention to the question of Pluto being an actual planet. When i first heard that scientist did not consider Pluto to be a planet anymore i was outraged, but then i found out that if we considered Pluto to be a planet then we would have discovered hundreds of more planets. Thats not a major problem until i realized the nine planets was hard enough o memorized, so then i was ok with Pluto not being a planet in our solar system.

My favorite ammusement park would have to be Six Flags Over Texas. I like this park because it has everything. It has rides that people can enjoy if they dont like big scarry rides. It even has attractions that everyone can enjoy. Another reason why i like Six Flags Over Texas because it is close, conveniant, and i go there all of the time. My favorite ride at Six Flags Over Texas would have to be The Titan. This is the biggest roller coaster that the park has. The ride is exciting, terrifying, and scarry all at the same time. I like all roller coasters, and i have ridden all of the rides at the park, but i still think that the Titan is my favorite.

I have been to that circus before, and it seemed to be directed mostly to little kids. Besides the fact that it is a kids attractioin, i also would not want to be in the circus because i know i could do better. If i were to have to have a job with this circus i would want to own it. This way i will make more money, and feel better with my accomplishments. The good side of owning it is that it is a kids attraction, and kids have to bring addults, so that means for every two childs tickets i would also recieve a more expensive adult tickets. That concludes what i would do if i worked in the circus.

If i were to change my name i would change it to Scotty Howell. I know that is what everyone calls me so it is not really a change, but in a way it is because my real name is James. Don't kid me wrong, i like being a Jr. But i would much prefer to be known for my real name. It is also annoying to always have to correct people whe they say my name correctly but it is not the name i go by. That is why i would want to change my official name to the name that i go by. So in a since i do not want to change my name i just want to make it to where everyone calls me by the name i go by, Scotty.

I will most likely be remembered for what i do once i get my degree after college. Then i want to be remembered for being a great helper to society by mediating others. The biggest goal that i can reach for in order to be remembered right now would be to succeed at discuss. This is a sport that i enjoy and have a chance to do decent. I'm not saying that i can win state, but i could go far in the district and regional rounds. But how long would i be remembered for not winning that 1st place trophy? Not long at all. That is why it is a safe bet that i will be remembered for what i do once i graduate from college, and begin my adult life. Therefor there is no telling what i will be remembered for.

The best invention in my opinion would have to be the mp3 player, or better yet the invention of the ipod. With the ipod people are able to listen to their music without having all of their Cd's accessible. This is a good invention for the inventor because almost everyone listens to music. This however does not benefit musicians because people get their songs illegally, and people no longer have to buy Cd's. The inventor of the ipod also modified it so that once everyone had an original ipod then they would want to be able to listen to it everywhere. They then made it to where you could listen to ipods on stereo speakers, and now people listen to their ipods in the car.

Personally i think the scariest thing to happen to a child is getting lost. Unfortunatley that is what happened to me when i was only nine years old. I was scared that i would never find my family. That is a perfect story that i would be able to use in a fictional story. Most fictional stories attract young children. This is important because children could learn from my mistake. I can also over exagerate my story in order to make it verry fictional. I would be able to create an entire fictional world where people could relate to my childhood.

If i were to make a candy bar i would make it similar to a famous candy bar that everyone would like for a cheaper price. That is why it would be smart to make an off-brand candy that everyone will like, and afford. Since my favorite candy is Reese's i would make an off-brand copy. I would Name it Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars so that people can recognize the reference to the Reese's candy bar. This way i will sell a lot of candy, and it would not cost as much because off-brands are not as high standers as the original candy. The main difference from Reese's and my candy bar is the appearance. My Candy bar will actually resemble a candy bar, and not be peanut butter cups.

Let me start of by agreeing that Rosa Parks was very brave for what she did, and i could not feel confident that i in return would have done the same. My reasons for not doing what Rosa Parks did would be because black people were not considered equal citizens. Therefor it would be a good bet that if i went through with the risk i would probably get arrested or fined (which is what happened to Rosa). I would not want this to happen, so i would probably not stand up for myself at that time. The reasons for doing it would only matter if i was OK to suffer with the consequences. Rosa did what she did to prove to everyone the importance of not taking cruel punishments because of who she is.

If i were to recommend for someone to ether read a book or watch the movie first i would recommend watching the movie before reading the book. Most people say that the book is always better than the movie; with that theory if you watch the movie first you wont be disappointed with it. Then when you read the book you will get extra beneficial moments to the story. Personally i watched "The Lord of The Rings" before i read it, and in doing so i did not disappoint myself. I'm a visual person, and i do not often read books' however i do think this story is very good. So it was actually enjoyable for me to read. Because i like the story so much i enjoy watching it over and over again. I preferably watch the movie because it does not take up as much of my time, and it gets a big enough just of the story.

When Phill does not see his shaddow it means that there will be spring. Because of some of the choices that us Americans have chose we are stuck with a world that is falling apart. With polution growing, the chances of Global warmings existence grows larger. This makes me wonder if we will have the same winters that we have had in the past. That is why i think Phill will not see his shaddow, because i believe that winter will become more scarce until it does not exist anymore. I predict that Phill will come to a time to where he will never see his shaddow, and he can thank the rest of the world for it.

How would it feel to be the first man to fly across the Atlantic? I can only imagine what it would be like. The excitment of succeding would feel incredible. The doubt of succeding, however would create a difficult turmoil. I woulld have risked my life to have the same opportunity that Lindbergh had to be remembered long after he was gone. The risk that he took was probably worth it because he was so succesful, but if he failed and died then he probably would not be well known today. Thats how most things in life work. You have to take some risks in order to gain the prize.
