Like everyone else growing up, I had many friends, most of which lived in my neighborhood. There was the girl next door who 's mom made the best dumplings, or the boys up the street who loved riding bikes and skateboards and playing x-box, or the kids on the adjacent street to mine who made homemade go-karts and tree forts. But these are only kids in my neighborhood, what about the adults? Across the street from me lived an older couple, “The Benners,” says a small metal sign in the front yard.…

Last summer visiting my family in California was such an exciting thing. I haven’t seen them in over two years, so it was such a great chance to have before going to college full time, and getting my first job. When visiting my family for a few weeks, my dad decided that we were going to Six Flags Magic Mountain for my birthday. I was too happy and thought that was the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me. My sister, brother, and I had count down the weeks and days till it was the…

A story that influenced my ethical growth as a child is the story of, “A Boy Who Cried Wolf” (Aesop, 1867). I was told this story a few times growing up, my father wanted me to be a man of honor and integrity. He explained that a man’s word is his bond, and that without it he has nothing. Wolf This story is about a boy that is watching over his flock of sheep near a village. The boy grows very bored and decides to have fun at his villagers expense by yelling, “Wolf, Wolf!” The villagers stop…

Tesla’s battery and motor is unique from other automobiles; both the motor and battery are found in the bottom-front of the automobile. Because, the motor and battery are found on the bottom-front of the car; Tesla’s platform is in a shape of a skateboard. On “tesla.com”, I found out for that reason the motor and battery are there is to provide more safeness if an accident ever occurs. As, I mentioned before of Tesla’s powerful battery, “auto.howstuffworks. com”, explained that you do not have…

in my world that make me happy and many things that I like to do.  I like to spend time with all of my friends in the city, where I live.  We often play games, cards, play music, or just watch movies.  Sometimes we ride bicycles or skateboard.  I like to see live music and go to festivals in the city.  For work, I build windmills and watermills in beautiful places all across America.  I get to travel quite a bit for work and I enjoy that.  I like my job very…

remembers) to pick a movie to watch when we got back. Then we went to a bike park. There we ate lunch and walked around the park. This was a completely new place to me. I don't even remember where it is today. Our one rule was we were not allowed on the skateboard ramps. What they saw was a safety hazard for the kids but I saw it as a shot at fame. So after lunch I sneaked over there when nobody was watching. I picked the biggest ramp and backed up to gain speed as I pedaled. I made it to the…

The beggar on the New York subway has a body truncated at the waist and he rolls on a cart, chanting "I have no legs!" in a singsong as he passes. Just for a slight moment, he attracts the attention of Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick) and Casper (Justin Pierce), who look young and healthy but are actually much more damaged than this legless man. As Larry Clark's "Kids" harrowingly exhibits, these two are part of an emotionally dead teen-age culture built on aimlessness, casual cruelty and empty pleasure.…

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Every day about 105 American teens die from suicide. More teenagers and young adults die from suicide than from: cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung disease. Each day in our nation there is an…

way. I expected to have a large void left by social media, but what I didn’t expect was that it would be so easy to fill this time with more productive activities (at least in my own judgment). I played piano more, I learned some new tricks on my skateboard, and I got better at sketching, but most important of all, I learned that there are many, often better, alternatives to filling time than social media. In reflecting on my previous habits, I found that most often I (ineffectively) used social…
