What is the deal with sports players and concussions? Some of them act like nothing even happened while it's really effecting oodles of things in their daily lives.
I honestly don't think it's a smart idea to play sports right after you get a concussion. Your brain could be seriously damaged. Studies have shown that football players who have suffered 3 or more concussions have a tripled risk of depression, plus it could also contribute in the decision of suicide. Reality is, many players don't pay attention to symptoms of a concussion. They just shake it off and play on. 31% of athletes with concussions are driven right back onto the field after an injury.
Having a concussion could ruin many things. If you ever get or think you have a concussion, be responsible and see a doctor right away.

Arturo's Life and Culture
Arturo's family is very close. They seem to do many things with each other and are always there for the rest of the family.
His neighborhood has their share of good and bad people but they always seem to be there for each other. Arturo also describes how his neighborhood has many basketball zealots. I think the reason everyone is so close is because they all seem to have something in common.
Arturo is Mexican. His culture is very exotic. Their cooking uses many different types of foods and spices that are probably native to their country. The language they speak and the hobbies they do are very fascinating.
Everything Arturo and his family do relates to their culture. I would love to experience the Mexican culture.

I Wish I Could Go To France
January 16, 2014
Dear Mom and Dad,
France is absolutely fascinating. It is so breathtaking here. I have gone to so many places since I have gotten here.
I, of course, went to the Eiffel Tower first. It was awesome! It took forever to get to the top. Did you know the Eiffel Tower is 1,050 feet tall?
Next, I went to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was cool seeing how a building 8 stories high could lean as far as it does.
After that, I went to the Arc de Triomphe. The arches are so big that a small plane can be flown through them. How amazing is that?!
Then, I headed over to the Cite de Carcassonne. It was so beautiful and majestic.
Lastly, I went through the Catacombs of Paris. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen! There were human bones everywhere you looked! Did you know there are about 6 million people buried there?
That is all I have done so far but I have the rest of France to check out.

My Christmas
My Christmas was superb! I loved hanging out with my family, opening my presents, and, most of all, eating the really good food.
I enjoyed spending time and having fun with my family. All my family on my mother's side came to our house for Christmas.
I loved all the presents I got for Christmas. Some of the presents I got were an Under Armour sweatshirt, a new Columbia jacket, a hair straightener, and a new speaker. I got a lot more presents that I loved.
One of my favorite parts of any holiday is the food. My grandma, mom, and aunt make some of the best food. For Christmas, we had chopped suey (and other Chinese foods), bread, and many other delicious concoctions.
I had one of the best Christmases ever.

Would You Rather...?
I have a question for you. Would you rather spend your time wandering the Great Plains or drifting on the open sea? Let me help influence your decision.
Wandering on the open plains and drifting on the sea are different.
When you're on the Great Plains, you're on land. Second of all, you might have less dangers to face on land. When you are on the plains, you might have to worry about food and water, animals, or other problems. Also, being on the plains you might have a landmark or two to maybe help cicerone you on your odyssey.
When you're on the water, you probably have to worry about dangerous animals, natural disasters, boat problems, or other things. On the sea, you are in the middle of nowhere, only sea as far as the eye can see.
You might also have troubles concluding which decision is better because, either way, you have a plentiful amount of food. But that also means that you always have the possibility of being in danger. You always have to have knowledge of your surroundings so you have to be prepared. You may have a lot of food but not good supply of water.
I hope I have had a lasting impression in your decision. (As if you even thought about doing this)

If You Give A Scientist An Experiment
If you give a scientist an analysis, she will want supplies.
When she fancies some supplies, you will have to go find them somewhere.
When you find them, you will have to bring the supplies back.
When you bring them back, the scientist will want a work area.
When the scientist wants a work area, you will have to clean an area off for her.
When you clean a space off, you will have to unpack the supplies for the scientist.
When you are finished unpacking, the scientist will have a hankering for a snack.
When the scientist has a hankering for a snack, you will have to go to the kitchen and get her a snack.
When you have gotten a snack for the scientist, she is ready to do the analysis.
When the scientist is ready to do the analysis, she does the analysis.
When the scientist is finished with the analysis, she will besiege you to have another one.

My Perfect Morning
In the morning, I have a routine schedule.
First, I get dressed. I choose an outfit that I think would get me through the day best. It is simple.
Next, I usually do my hair. I mostly put my hair in ponytails, buns, or I just leave it down.
Then, I will sometimes put on make-up. I don't wear much, just mascara and eyeliner. I only do it if I don't think it will run throughout the day.
After that, I usually get my shoes on so I am ready to go when the time arrives.
The next thing I do is have breakfast. I frequently have cereal for breakfast but that is all right with me.
Finally, I brush my teeth.
I have a mellow routine, but that is the way I like it.
