My Favorite Season
My favorite season would probably be winter, it would be winter because I like the cold and being under the covers when it's cold. In the winter time I would spend a day in the house watching movies, drinking hot cocoa under the covers cuddled up with whoever I'm dating at the time. I would do this until i fall asleep with my loved ones. I also want to take a nice nature vacation to big bear in the snow. While I'm there i will play with the snow and play games with whoever I'm with and enjoy the nature.
Foot Ball stadium
If worked at a football stadium, I would be a cheerleader because i like to cheer for the team. Cheerleading is fun and active for the body. I would dance and shout for the team if i were a cheerleader. i would probably travel with the team to all sorts of places and cheer for them as well. i would get money for doing my best to cheer. I would even probably cheer for a boyfriend if I got one on the team. Cheering sounds like a good job and sounds very fun
Where changing is necessary
One situation to where chaning palns becomes nesscessary is when you plan to go one trip and your friends plan to go to universial studios. You plan out what your going to buy, wear, and what rides your going to get on. You plan it a week before friday after school. You and some friends plan to take the bus to universial studios and to get picked up from your parents to stay at the theme park more longer. So after school you and a bunch of friends ride the bus to universial studios, when you get there you do everything as planned until in the middle of the trip, your mother calls and says that you have to leave early because the car broke down so they can't come get you. Your furious because now you have to leave early and take the bus home. So you tell your friends and they leave with you. When you get home you guys talk and plan another day but hopefully this time you pray that your plans work out.
Ideal Vacation
Vision of an ideal Vactaion
My vision of an ideal vacation is where you take the time out of work to go out to a beautiful tropical place for at least a week. A whole 7 days of the week. A ideal vacation place is a place where you know no one but the people you are with on your vacation or if your by yourself but with some one is better. Both you and your company rent a hotel witha beautiful view and you go sight seeing, exploring and shopping. while doing all of this you and your company take pictures and try new things. On one of your vacation days you take a trip to a very peaceful place and you relax your mind away from all of the stress in your life. All of this is what to me is known as an ideal vacation.

To me life would be miserable and mighty high. I wouldn't know what it would feel like to be short. I love being at the size that I am because I am not to tall and not to short. I mean I wish I was shorter but since I'm not I think I really appreciate the size I'm already at. So if I was twenty feet tall, I think i would be too tall and maybe even be a Giant.

martin luther king
Extravagant. Inspirational. Winner of the noble peace prize. Winner of five honoray degrees. One of the principle leaders of the United States Civil Rights Movement. This person became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure. Who is this person? None other then the person we have came to know as Martin Luther King Jr..
Micheal King Jr. formally known as Martin Luther King Jr., was born on january 15, 1929 in Atlanta Georgia. He was the second child and the first son of Micheal King Sr. and Alberta Williams King. The father and later the son adopted the name Martin Luther after the religious figure who found the Lutheran denomination. King grew up in a secure and loving environment, As he said in " An Autobiography of religious Development", an essay written for a class at Crozer Seminary when he was 23 and I quote :"It is quite easy for me to think of a God of love mainly because I grew up in a family where love was central and where lovely relationship were even present," end quote. However, not even a secure and loving environment could shield King Jr. from the rasicm. At the age of 6 Martin struggled to understand what segregation and prejudice was when he was told that he couldn't play with his two best friends anymore because he was black.
King was influenced by two incredible people in his life. His mother who was a school teacher, and his father who was the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church. Martin King Sr. was an idol to King Jr. as well as a father. He was a strong man who fought for everything in his life, even for what he thought was right, and he wasn't afraid of anyone. He showed Martin the example of segregation, made it clear that he would never accept the cruel system, and that he would fight against it until the day he dies. Martin Jr. was amazed by his father's achievements and was proud to be named after him. As much as Martin's father influenced him, his mother too, served as a equal inspiration in his life. She taught Martin how to read before he started school. She also tried to explain prejudice and the Jim Crow Laws that separated whites from blacks. She explained that Civil War and how it ended slavery, but not the hatred and prejudice between whites and blacks. However, she made sure that Martin would never step foot out into the world without knowing what was going on, and she told him the most inspirational words that he never forgot," You are as good as Anyone". Martin Luther King Jr. had grand times with his friends, he also spent time meditating and reading. Martin's favorite books were about black history, and the men and women who had made it. As Martin read about these men and women who had did such big things, a dream began to grow inside him. He wanted to do something big, something important with his life, too. Young Martin was an excellent student in school, he skipped grades in both elementary school and high school. He began his education at the Younge Street Elementary School in Atlanta Georgia. Following Younge School, he was enrolled in David T. Howard Elementary School.
Martin Luther King Jr.was highly educated and he graduated from Booker T. Washington High school at the age of 15, entering Morehouse College in Atlanta. He had many ideas for a job, but his final decision was to become a minister. At the age of 17, he gave his first sermon as a preacher. At the age of 18, he graduated from Morehouse college. He traveled to Pennsylvania to study at the Crozer Theological Seminary. King then graduated from Crozer in 1951 with honor, and went to Boston University to get his doctorate in theology. In february 1952, he met Correta Scott, a smart girl who was studying at the New England Conservatory of Music. After spending much time together they finally decided to tie the knot and were married june of 1953. Afterwards Martin, decided to go down south to work as the pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama.
In Montgomery while on his pursuit to work as a pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Martin first achieved national recognition when he helped mobilise the black boycott of the Montgomery bus system in 1955. The boycott stemmed from the experience of Mrs. Rosa Parks, who while sitting in the section on the bus for whites only, was asked to give up her seat for a white passenger. After her refusal, the driver then called the police, and had Rosa Parks arrested for violating the cities segregation ordinances. The next morning Mr. E.D Nixon, a civil rights activist, asked Martin to help organize a one-day bus boycott of the Montgomery bus line. Initually, a one day boycott turned into 382 days. The boycott was proven to be a success when blacks refused to ride the Montgomery bus line. The event started the Civil Rights Movement and changed the spirit Martin Luther King Jr..
A year after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Jim Crow laws were illegal. Martin believed that he had to continue his fight, despite the ruling of the Supreme Court, because many whites continued to hold the belief of the Jim Crow Laws. The Montgomery Bus Boycott was so fascinating that he wrote a book about it called; The Stride To Freedom.
In 1957, King was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, organization formed to co-ordinate protest against discrimination. He advocated non- violent direct action based on the methods of Gandhi, who led protests against British rule in India culminating in India's Independence in 1947. In the eleven- year period between 1957 and 1968, King left his position as pastor of the Dexter Avenue Church and returned to Atlanta to work with his father. This would allow him more time to work for the civil rights of blacks. Martin traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty - five hundred times, appearing where ever there was injustice, protest, and action. He wanted all unfair laws changed, and he wanted blacks to register and vote. Meanwhile he wrote five books as well as numerous articles.
In 1963, Martin Luther King led a March in Birmingham, Alabama, and it became very violent. Police used fire hoses and dogs to disperse the demonstration. It appeared that the police were more violent than the demonstrators. They even harmed small children who were in the march. King urged Blacks to meet violence with non-violence when something wrong happened. During the march Martin was arrested, However that did not stop the Jim Crow Laws of experiencing a major set back. This event caught the attention of the entire world, providing what King called a Coalition of Conscience.
The Civil Rights march in Washington on August 1963 was the one event that united millions of blacks without violence and caught the eye of the world. It was also the place where King's now famous speech " I Have a Dream"......orginated. The speech set the mood for the entire event. My favorite part in his speech was when he said, and i quote;" I have a dream that one daythie nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of it's creed: "we hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal, end quote. I like that part of the speech, because it shows not only that he cares about blacks and whites being equal, but also that he is trying his best to fight against segregation and prejudice. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream was just for us to all be united together and equal.
After the incredible," I Have a Dream" speech, in 1963 Martin Luther King was chosen as man of the year by Time Magazine. In 1964 he recieved the Nobel Peace Prize that came with a great some of money. Martin gladly gave that some of money to charity to help blacks be more equal with whites. Later Martin met with presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson. These presidents believed in getting rid of the laws that treated blacks unfairly. Johnson hepled push the rights act through Congress.
Martin's next plan was to move to Chicago, where he planned a march for poor Blacks, Whites, Indians, Mexicans, and Puerto Ricans. Tragically, the day before the march, James Earl Ray, a man who could never tolerate blacks, assassinated Dr. King in Memphis, Tennessee.
Despite Dr. King's premature death, his legacy continues to influence many to complete his life's works and ambitions. Because of this, many are living the effects of his dreams, for instants, here within the United States both you and I have lived to see the election of the first African American President, Barack Obama. Additionally, we have come to see the election of the first Latina, Sonia Maria Sotomayor, to serve on the highest court in the land, The Supreme Court. Let's not forget about the first Mexican ranked as the heavy weight champion in the world,Cain Velasquez. So how can you and I pioneer Dr. King's dream? One way is to judge a man not by his color, but by the contant of his character, and by viewing all men as equal. This will indeed promote unity, a sense of brotherhood, and peace that Dr. King spent his entire life striving for.

This event caught the attention of the entire world, providing what King called a Coalition of Conscience.
The Civil Rights march in Washington on August 1963 was the one event that united millions of blacks without violence and caught the eye of the world. It was also the place where King's now famous speech " I Have a Dream"......orginated. The speech set the mood for the entire event. My favorite part in his speech was when he said, and i quote;" I have a dream that one daythie nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of it's creed: "we hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal, end quote. I like that part of the speech, because it shows not only that he cares about blacks and whites being equal, but also that he is trying his best to fight against segregation and prejudice. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream was just for us to all be united together and equal.
After the incredible," I Have a Dream" speech, in 1963 Martin Luther King was chosen as man of the year by Time Magazine. In 1964 he recieved the Nobel Peace Prize that came with a great some of money. Martin gladly gave that some of money to charity to help blacks be more equal with whites. Later Martin met with presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson. These presidents believed in getting rid of the laws that treated blacks unfairly. Johnson hepled push the rights act through Congress.
Martin's next plan was to move to Chicago, where he planned a march for poor Blacks, Whites, Indians, Mexicans, and Puerto Ricans. Tragically, the day before the march, James Earl Ray, a man who could never tolerate blacks, assassinated Dr. King in Memphis, Tennessee.
Despite Dr. King's premature death, his legacy continues to influence many to complete his life's works and ambitions. Because of this, many are living the effects of his dreams, for instants, here within the United States both you and I have lived to see the election of the first African American President, Barack Obama. Additionally, we have come to see the election of the first Latina, Sonia Maria Sotomayor, to serve on the highest court in the land, The Supreme Court. Let's not forget about the first Mexican ranked as the heavy weight champion in the world,Cain Velasquez. So how can you and I pioneer Dr. King's dream? One way is to judge a man not by his color, but by the contant of his character, and by viewing all men as equal. This will indeed promote unity, a sense of brotherhood, and peace that Dr. King spent his entire life striving for.

Disagreement of Animal Experimentation
Medical researchers, cosmetric companies, and others often perform experiments on animals. Many people feel that experiments on animals is wrong and should be stopped immediately because animals do feel pain and there are other alternatives. How do you feel? State your position and explain your reasons.
Medical researchers, cosmetics companies, and others often perform experimentation on animals. I for one believe that this is wrong. I believe it is wrong because, animals weren't made in life to experiment upon, animals do have feelings as we humans do, and that's why certain animals on this earth are frightened by us humans.
Just like us animals have a purpose for being on earth. no matter what their purpose is, it does not involve experimentation, or death. Animals feel pain, just as we do. For example cats, dogs, and birds, they all are animals and they were put on this earth for other results then experimenting upon. These animals are very smart beings that could be used for more than experimentation. That is used for our own selfish needs.
A young antelope was being dragged into the river by a crocodile. A nearby hippopotamus saw what was happening and charged the crocodile; the crocodile released the antelope and swam away. The hippo gently pulled the antelope up the riverbank. Was the hippopotamus showing compassion?Bison in Alaska have been observed taking turns running down a hill, and then sliding across the frozen lake at the base of the hill, spinning around and around. Then they climb up the hill and do it again! Are the bison feeling joy?This collection of true animal stories, witnessed by naturalists and others, is both heartwarming and thought-provoking. Do animals merely follow instinct? Or do animals have feelings too?
Do animals have feelings? Until recently most scientists didn't think so. They thought that most animals behave instinctively--that they don't have feelings such as happiness, sadness, grief, vengefulness, or compassion. Many scientists are now changing their minds. Close observation of animals is tending to show that animals may have feelings quite similar to human feelings. This collection of true animal behavior, witnessed by naturalists and others, is both heartwarming and thought-provoking.
To a growing number of activists, the idea that animals have some basic rights of their own is not so far-fetched. Indeed, the idea’s roots – that animals should not unnecessarily be made to suffer – has a long tradition in human history. But the idea that animals have actual rights, rights that might conflict with the interests of people, is something fairly new and controversial. The fact that we do experiments on these animals makes their rights even more reasonable because animals shouldn't be treated unfairly from humans. Also it makes animals more frightened by us because we harm them in painful physical and emotional ways ,that we purposely or accidently don't realize. So animals use there fear to defend themselves like a human uses their fears to defend themselves which i find really reasonable.
We humans have rights , so why can't animals have them. We for one shouldn't have the right or even have the cruel thought of controlling an animals life. I know I do not think of controlling an animals rights because an animal is i really precious gift like as if i had a puppy or a baby. Animals have feelings just as well as humans. We may not be able to see it like they could probably see ours but they have feelings like us. We need to realize that animal abuse is just as wrong as any abuse we could put on any animal. So the next time you call yourself beating an animal, think of how you would feel if that animal was you.
