I examined the labels and discovered that cheese curls contain two grams of sugar per serving and 290 milligrams of sodium per serving. Doritos contain one gram of sugar per serving and 180 milligrams of sodium per serving. Most of the ingredients in these snacks are artificial or chemical. I have never thought about what ingredients were in the snacks, or thought about looking at the labels before I eat the food.…

    As a child, I always expressed joy when we passed the seemingly giant factory located on the edge of my hometown. It was always a happy experience to witness the factory that produced the clouds for the sky. My eyes were met with wonderment when I say the giant white, billowing clouds produced from the smokestacks of the towering, majestic factory. However, I was always met with concern when the clouds weren’t coming out, and I deeply hoped the clouds would resume soon. I always nagged my parents about the factory, and would interrogate them thoroughly when the clouds stopped billowing out of the stacks.…

The first few years of my life, I could only make sounds but now I can talk thanks to surgeries and the work of speech therapists. My life has been shaped and changed by the medical field for the better.…
