My Future

What I Am Going To Do Next Year:

Next year I will be attending CSU Chico. I will be earning my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Minor in Business and Architecture. After that, I will apply to Academy of Art in San Fransisco where I will get my Master's in Multimedia Design and Graphic Design. Over the summer, I will intern with Pixar in San Rafael, hoping to get a standard job and start my career. I have wanted to work technology because I really love it. My hobbies are making pictures movies and photoshop. I really love using technology. I also love making powerpoints. I really want to learn about animations. I have seen documentaries on computer science and it is fascinating. The things they do to make graphics is really cool.

$700 Billion Pay-out

So:

Wall Street is in a "pickle" and they want us to bail them out. 700 billion tax payer dollars. I think Wall Street needs to find there own way of getting the money. I mean, if they got themselves into this mess, they can get themselves out of it.

Binge Drinking

Kids today enjoy the idea of getting drunk and wasted. Underaged drinking is increasing as the seconds go by. The question is, should America lower the drinking age to 18? It's an easy answer, no. The idea of having a law for drinking is for safety. The drinking age needs to stay in effect.

More kids are dying because of alcohol. Just in the past five years, at our school alone, have had 7 student drink-related fatalities. If you give alcohol to a teenager, they are not going to be responsible with it. The will take advantage of the idea of having alcohol and down the road can cause a life or death situation.

Another reason for not changing the age is because of addiction. It has clearly been researched that the more underaged kids who drink will become addicted to the product and die. Addiction is a hard thing to get over. Kids are not ready to have those responsibilities.

Another idea what I want to hit on is responsibility. Teenagers say, well when I am 18 I am considered an adult. But in reality, at 18 teenagers will be only starting to receive the lessons in life to become an adult. I consider alcohol a great power. Someone once said,"Great power comes great responsibilty." I will stand behind that statement 100%. It's so true. Teenagers will not be able to control the power of alcohol.

The government is deciding on lowering the drinking age to 18. If the government proceeds with this new law, it will only start more chaos, more addictions, and more death.

The Energy Plan

The energy plan, I think, has not gone into effect. We still have problems with energy crisis often. I think we are getting the idea of a good energy idea but we are not there yet. I think the solution is to go to wind, solar, and maybe put more study into capturing a lightning bolt. Research says that a lightning bolt could produce enough energy to keep New York running for about 10 years. That's a lot of energy! My family and I have changed our driving habits to help with the dramatic gas prices. We have been carpooling a lot more now. Also, with heating, we only keep one part of the house warm and the other cool. And when we are not there, we leave it off. I say we should study on other ways to provide energy to the world. We have the researches, let's start using them.

LHC

Is the potential downside worth the risk with the LHC?

The project has it's pros and cons. If the project fails and malfunctions, we lose. If the the project is a success and get the information we want, we win. It's all about how we look at it. My big issue is I hope they took all the precautions into the downfalls. I read that they have had money issues? Well....I hope they put that money into it wisely. I mean, they have spent billions of dollars on a project that might fail? I believe they should've put more experimentation and thought into the project. If your going to spend that amount of money on a project, make sure it will be a 100% success.

Heroes

3 of My Greatest Heroes:

(1) My Grandpa-My Grandpa, in many ways, is my biggest hero. One is that when the toughest times came abroad he always has a smile and carries on life like it was his prime. Also, my grandpa always looks for the good in people. I will never hear him talk negative about anyone. And last, my grandpa cares for me very much. He always tries 100% to make it my sporting events and any extraccuricular activities. He is really proud of me and makes me proud of myself.

(2) My Mom- My mom, also, inspires me in many ways. She might be hard on me on my school work, to the point where I am so annoyed, but she pushes me to make myself better for the future that lay down the road. She also makes it to every activity I am in, even if it is missing work. She gives me nothing but positive input and output. Ok, sometimes she'll tell me pointers, but its all good for me.

(3) My Dad-My dad...is all about the sports. He gives me the most pointers and tips. If I want to go and work on a certain ability, he will help anytime. He works a lot of the time and is gone a lot, but he always makes it to anything I am in. It feels really great to have a dad that supports you with whatever you do. He also made me a better person. He has taught me, through life, to be mature and sincere to everyone around. It is he who has made me the person I am today. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do anything stupid because of the morals my father has set for me to accomplish.
