FW: Trampoline

i ma a cat on a trampoline and i would probably be going nuts. idk what i would do and i would just bounce uncontrollably trying to attach my claws to what ever or who ever i can. i am trying to make my way off of the trampoline any way i can scratching and clawing away. while everyone is jumping and being crazy I’m flipping and clawing everyone. finaly i bounce so high that i hop over the net right on to my four legs. thank god the saying “cats always land other feet” was true.

FW:Stupid

i think the most stupid thing iv ever done is probably get hooked on cigarettes. its such a bad habit…and anyone who’s never smoked them would say it easy to quit but they wouldn’t know. not really a habit that i wanted to get into because my dad smoked for tens of years and got throat cancer, so i know that it won’t lead to anything good but a ten minute buzz. but its difficult to quit. thats probably one of the most stupid things i have ever done.

Free write : students shouldn’t be required to study abroad:

– i know that studying abroad is extremely expensive. There are a lot of things in a students life that could hold them back from studying abroad like sports, family issues and financial problems. Centenary college doesn’t help very much financial with students that study abroad. Many students i know have tried to study abroad but they either couldn’t afford it or it didnt fit their situations.

EXER: Hook

I think i would find it similar because hook felt like she would deb more comfortable at stanford. For many reasons. Not ever school is perfect for everyone. Like me, I would not be able to go to such a large school. I applied to other schools but any one that i applied to, i didnt feel comfortable at or like i was just out of place. But gatto didnt like the school system because he thought that it didnt allow you to think for yourself and be your own person. i can also agree with this because i do think that sometimes the school system trys to be to controlling.

EXER: PRIVILEGES

One privilege i receive is being able to play soccer for centenary college. I have to keep my grades up to play therefore i have to earn my right to play. another privilege i have is getting certain scholarships. Just because i am hispanic i automatically receive money. A third privilege would be the right to vote simply because i am a US citizen..for the longest time my mom was not allowed to vote because she was not a citizen. A fourth privilege would be is paying less car insurance because I’m a guy. on more privilege i receive is getting scholarships because of my religion. if i go to a catholic school than i can receive grants for it.

FW: Procrastination

right now i am procrastinating on paying a parking ticket…i really need to get on top of it because it has been a while since i got it and i have just been putting it off for so long. Idk why i haven’t done it yet cause its so easy but i just have felt like it hahaha…..i really need to do that today before a cop comes to cent with a warrant because i haven’t paid for it…my mom would beat the shit out of me. thats the first thing i am doing after this class…i need to go pay it…i have sticky notes all over my room trying to remind myself that i need to pay for it. i hope that i still have time to pay for my ticket hah…last thing i need to pay more fees with the money that i don’t have….

EXCR: Rapid Fire FW

should adults have the right to carry concealed weapons?
– i think that adult should have the right. many places in the US are so dangerous that you need to think twice about going out because you might not come back…no that gang violence is so bad people need a way to protect them selves. if certain people had a gun during an unwanted or death like encounter than maybe they could have protected them selves
should tablets replace text books k-12 grade?
i don’t think that they should replace text books because some kids might not like looking at a lit up screen and want to highlight and write margin notes while they read..a tablet won’t let you do that..text books should never be replaced..they might save space but learning may be harder to do on a tablet..id rather have a text book over a tablet.
should vaccinations be legally required?
no they shouldn’t..i know there have been certain shots that i haven’t gotten because they really aren’t necessary.sometimes getting shots makes you sicker than if you never get it. i got the flu shot for the first time and i got so sick that i know I’m never doing it again unless i am required to by a job or school
is social networking bad for our society?
i don’t think that it is bad because it can help make connections that might not be possible any other way…my mom had been separated from her life long best friend at the age of 15 and this past year she had found her on fb and got to see her. with out social media she may have never seen her again. you can also make connections with important people in industries you want to work in.social networking helps our time.i found an old coach that i was really close with and he helped me play for a soccer team in colombia that people aren’t offered open try outs. and i did al of that by going on fb.
-should the us continue its drone strikes abroad?
i have mixed signals on this topic because i think that in some cases it can help because they can take out military camps that may be a threat but when we start to destroy cities where innocent kids live, that were i draw the line…i understand that now younger kids are being used for war, but you don’t know that unless your there..so sending a drone and killing innocent people is so unnecessary and i think it should be stopped.
is a college education worth it?
i think that it is sometimes. but other times not so much. but for the sake of argument i think that it is..they are starting to look at you not because of who you are but because of the degree you have behind you.your car insurance is based on your degree.
should gay marriage be legal all across the us?
yes it should…it should be legal. they are just like everyone else. they love people just like straight citizens do and they want to have a family just like straight citizens do. many say that the us isn’t racist anymore but thats a lie…not allowing gays marry is racism.
should prostitution be legal?
i don’t see why prostitution is such a big deal. people are trying to make money, and not really hurting anyone doing this..cops should be paying more attention to gang violence than a fucking slut at a corner. innocent people are dying everyday because of shootings, innocent little kids. let the girl on the corner have sex with random people..sex doesn’t kill anyone.
should roids be allowed in sports?
no they should because it offers an unfair advantage and it is so harmful to your body that it can fuck you up more than make you bigger. you can die from the outcomes of roids and they are a dumb way to get ahead. if you need to use steroids or pick me ups you aren’t good enough to be an athlete so just quit.
do you think video games contribute to youth violence?
yes i do because my little cousin used to be a huge WWE and Dragon Ball Z gaming fan and would play everyday. He became so violent to where he would try to fight his friends and family by actually punching and kicking…once COD came out he start to pretend to play with guns and him and his friends would pretend to kill each other.

FW:last semester

This semester i am going to not procrastinate as much as i did last semester. i was always behind in class and lost with assignments. last semester i was also a lot busier because of soccer and never really had time to relax or hang out with friends. although i enjoyed myself last year with the soccer team, i want to go out and meet new people and party with new crowds, which seems so hard cause this school is so small. i am also going to go out more and just enjoy life. not worry all the time and just go with what ever happens with out regrets. last semester i don’t think i went to the gym here at school more than maybe two times, so this semester my goal is to gain muscle and get more cut, by going to the gym at least 6 times a week.
