The Industries Experiment on the Planet I spent time in several locations: a natural forest, a clear cut, and a plantation. Within these spaces, the five bodily senses; sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste, helped to identify how each location felt overall. With all the raw data collected, further analysis will take place using information obtained in class time. Furthermore, ideas will be applied to the three locations and a lengthy analysis of the course content will be applied to everyday…
There are some things we know about, but never talk about though. Like my dad’s problem with alcohol, my brother’s depression. Then there’s one I found out about when I was about ten years old. I have always loved looking at pictures, and one day when I was home alone for an hour I was looking through one of my Great Aunt Roseanne’s albums. Now when my parents were married they had their wedding at the courthouse with only two random…
Annoying lights stream into the darkened car through the skylight as Mr. Eagle tosses the blanket on top of me. I struggle for a moment, then realize that he might honestly take me to a magic island full of scientists and free of the pollution that plagued our world, raising our oceans daily.…

Students have cars at a younger age than ever and districts have been expanded so schools that play each other are not necessarily within a ten minute drive if eachother. Schools need to do a better job of encouraging students to go to these once in a lifetime opportunities. At many schools, it is very difficult to get…

The glow of the city below was a beacon for anyone who was close enough to see it through the surrounding mountains. For Princess Lysanne Elisabeth Eva Clementine Renaud it was the continuous taunt of something she could never have, never letting up for all of her nineteen years. The sound of music drifting up the mountain side caught her ears, assaulting them with a freedom and happiness that haunted her dreams day and night. Oh, how I wish my parents will allow me to visit somewhere outside…

London at first impression was they drive fast and it was scary when crossing a road because I still do this day do not know which way to look so I look both ways. The ambulance sirens and are ten times louder than any United States one. London was not what I expected, but better. The dogs all run around with no leashes and are surprisingly well trained, even the deer are bigger and are not afraid of humans. The way of life from…
Video games have almost always been thought of as just fun and games, however they can actually improve sensory motor skills in drastic ways. Playing games regularly often improves how well one can respond to lateral deviation during driving and can even teach people how to predict errors before they occur on the road.
