I think to myself, is it bad to think there has to be other life somewhere else besides earth? There are a trillion solar systems in one galaxy. There are a trillion galaxies, Im sorry but we just can't be the only ones. We haven't even explored all of our oceans and we just assume there isn't life anywhere else. I think it scares people to think about there being other living things other than us.
I wanted to go into astronomy for a while, but I also feel like I am not smart enough. I know I am a person who thinks through things before I talk. I don't want people to get the wrong idea of me so I like to watch what I say. Space is something that interests me but then people automatically think that I am an atheist for thinking there could be life somewhere else in the universe. Just to make something clear I am not atheist. I just have such a curious mind, that it goes crazy knowing that we no hardly anything about our universe.

Every moment we experience is always different, you never experience the exact same thing twice. So every week to me is always exciting. I know school isn't fun but it challenges you to see how much stress you can actually handle. Overcoming the weeks is something I like to do, because I feel so accomplished by the end of the week. With going to swim every morning then going to school then going back to swim may seem to get repetitive. Which it does, but you have to find new things you overcome each week.
School is one of the most stressful things to do. Going from middle school to high school is such a big jump and no one seems to emphasize that. With going to high school and doing eleven practices a week is very rough, and going into the school year I didn't think I could do it. At first I was so stressed but finally I have figured out stressing just doesn't help the situation at all. So what I look forward to next week is seeing how much stress I can really take on, because next week is the dreaded, midterm. I have so many goals for myself it is kind of hard to keep up with myself. In school I want to maintain a 4.0 all the way through graduation, which is going to be hard. Although I just have to make sure I don't overload myself with too challenging of classes. I also want to be able to graduate saying that throughout these 4 years I was able to learn about the different cultures and religions because it is something that I am very interested in.
I want to able to say by the end of high school that I am still a good person. I don't want to go down the wrong path and do dumb things. I want to graduate, and be able to say I am still a genuine person who didn't make silly decisions. Swimming is something that I want to exceed in as well, I do 11 practices a week, that is a lot. If I choose to do dumb things, there goes at least 20 goals I have for my swimming career. I want to go to Olympic Trials and swim at least two events. I want to achieve these goals to hopefully make myself more confident and to lead a better life for myself. My main two priorities in my life are swim and school. Swimming has been a part of my life since I was five. I have so many goals for myself in swimming and I want achieve so many things within the sport. Swimming is keeps me in shape and shows me my limits. It shows me how much I can work myself and when I need to stop. I have so many friends on my high school and club team, so swimming isn't just all about swimming, I have friends there that are my priority too.
School is something that is going to be in my life until I am 22. It is going to set me up for my future, and the rest of my life. I need school so I can get a good job, make money, and then eventually make enough to support my family. With school it will help me find a career to further pursue my life and dreams. These priorities may change but right now these are my main ones. My go-to person would probably be Olympian, Michael Phelps. Phelps is an amazing athlete who started his swimming career at only the age of 15. His first Olympics was in Sydney, Australia in 2000. Although he didn't when any metals at his first Olympics, he was the youngest competitor at the Olympics. This was just the beginning of his sports career and he didn't know what was ahead him.
In the technology world Phelps did have an impact. Within the sport there is a lot of technology that goes into it, between the touch pads, the starting blocks, and the timing systems, there is a lot that goes on with technology in the pool than one would think. Phelps changed the game when he was breaking world records. People were so amazed by how fast he was going it pushed them to make everything technology wise, so much more precise. They changed the way the touch-pads worked, they even changed the technology underwater. They began to use a lot more underwater cameras to see what he was doing beneath the surface. Throughout Phelps's career he wrote an amazing book. I read it in about 7th grade and it inspired me so much. Phelps did write an autobiography, but there were many biography's written about him too. Phelps has inspired so many people with his book, personally I think the books he wrote is a lot better than a biography. I just think knowing that he wrote the book and this is all him talking is really inspiring and amazing. Phelps has been on so many talk shows, health shows, and sports channels. Every 4 years since 2000, he has been entertaining people. People always said there was no way he was going to faster, or that he wouldn't break his old world record. Although, Phelps always managed to prove people wrong. Sports channels went crazy for him because no one had ever someone like him. Phelps broke the news, and people went crazy. Phelps has broke history a numerous amount of times. He is something that no one has seem before, which is why people go so crazy for him. With 28 metals, 23 of them being gold, he has managed to change and break history. Although I think his career is over because he has just seem to become too old for the sport. It makes me sad, but at the same time you can't overwork your body. Phelps has been an amazing asset to the swimming world, and I'm sure he will stick around for a while longer. Starting off spring break with a cold isn't the most fun thing in the world. I was boarding a plane with a runny nose and a sinus headache. The flight was the most tiring thing in my life. Although the trip wasn't off to a great start, we had finally landed in Puerto Rico! We stayed one night in the hotel and then we got in a taxi. Now we are checking in at a front desk, I walk slowly as I board a boat that I will be on for seven days.
My best friend Jenna was with me throughout this entire journey. Day 1 and I thought I had put on enough sunscreen, but nope. I officially looked like a lobster and still do. Although on day 1 i had so much fun because we visited an island called St. Martian. Day 2 and I was out in the sun again, but I bought a bucket to cover the huge burn on my forehead and I got to hold stingrays. This island was called St. Kitts. We went to other islands too but by far my favorites St. Lucia This Island had the nicest people I have ever met. The first thing we did was drive an hour in doom buggies! The view was amazing and I saw so many things I wouldn't have in the United states like banana trees, super run down homes, and small schools that were still trying to recover from the hurricane. We went zip-lining and i think it was the eyeopening experiences i have ever been through. I loved my spring break so much! One smile, can change a friendship.
One word, can start a fight. One look, can save a relationship. One person, can change your life. This poem has a strong use of the word "One", meaning it was trying to make a point throughout the poem. The power of "one" can have an impact on your entire world. Every decision that you make in this lifetime will determine what decision comes next. There are wrong and right decisions when it comes to certain circumstances. Although in others there is no right answer. Therefor you need to make the correct decisions when it comes to who you hang out with and how you treat others. One mess up and you could lose your whole world. Life has no right answer and it is as simple as that. You only get one life though, so would you rather spend it being miserable and mean, or would you rather spend it being a lovable, kind and honest human being? That one decision is up to you, be careful. I would love to go on a road trip with my friends. I would all my guy friends and girl friends to join me, it would be so much fun. I would probably want 10 of us to go. We would set up camp somewhere in the middle of no where and just have fun talking, playing games, and eating. First we would drive out to somewhere north. I would want to go in summer because up north it isn't too cold but it is not insanely hot. While driving up there we would have to make a few stops at motels and gas stations to get snacks and sleep. I would love to do this because I want to live while I'm young and free. I feel like it would be so much with the friends that I want to go. It would be the number one thing on my bucket list.
