Buying a New Computer

What is the first thing that you do when you buy something new? Do you gawk at it over its newness? Or maybe do you make sure it has everything that you wanted it to have and all of the parts that were needed were there? Now, what do you do when you go into the store to buy a computer? Do you just buy the first one that you see? I am pretty sure that you do not just buy the first one that you see. I know that if that was me buying a new state of the art computer, I would research the information before I buy it.

IN order to make sure that I am getting the best type of computer possible, I would do a number of things. First, I would consult my father because he works with computers, so he is sort of an expert on them. I would ask about how much information that it could hold and does it have a high security level. I would then go online to find out about how it looks and what it has to offer me. Once I am done doing that, I would go to the store that would have the computer and see how it runs. If I like it, I would buy it. If not, I would go research another computer.  Consult an expert on computers, research online, and go to the store that sells the computer to look at it: these steps would help anyone find a great computer.

Passing College Admission Tests

There are many things that you need to d before you go to college. Some specific things that you need to do is to go and visit many college campuses and go through something for  financial aid. Even though these two things that are important for your college life, you would need to do something else. That thing that a person needs to do is prepare for college admission tests.

When you go to college, there are many classes that you would have that would require you to take a college admissions test. It could be for a math class or maybe even an English class. Knowing this, you probably would want to know what to do to prepare for them. Well to tell you the truth, the only things that you need to do are relax and study the basic information that would be on that type of test. You would need to relax because if you take a test stressed, you would not be able to answer the questions very clearly because your head would not be clear. You would need to study the basic information for the test so that way you would at least know some of the questions that you may have forgotten when you were taught in high school.

In conclusion, to pass the college admissions test you would need to do two things. You would first need to relax and then you would need to study the information. Once you have done that, all that is left for you to do is take the test.

How to End a Realtionship

Relationships come in many shapes and forms. Some come in forms of father to daughter, husband to wife, sister to sister, friend to friend, boyfriend to girlfriend, enemy to enemy, and many more. There are many relationships out there and most of the time there would come a time when you have to end a relationship with a person. Even though the relationship will still remain since you still know the person, the ties that brought them together are the ones that end up being severely severed. I am going to explain to you what you should do when you need to severe that certain relationship.

Since I know I will not be able to explain the husband to wife, boyfriend to girlfriend, or enemy to enemy, I will explain how to end a relationship with a friend. I am not very experienced with ending a relationship, but I do know what needs to be done to do this. For whatever reason you want to end your relationship with your friend, you should just tell them the reason and you want to end the friendship face to face. You must prepare yourself the day and night before and maybe even write it down if you feel like chickening out. If you do not do this, you would never be able to end the relationship. I do not care if you are nice, if you want something done you should do it yourself.

In conclusion, you have to prepare yourself before you end the relationship. There is nothing else that really needs to be done after until it is time to tell them. You cannot chicken out because if you do, you would never achieve your goal of ending the friendship.

Semester Persuasive Essay#4: Families

Prompt #16 A few decades ago, many families had half a dozen or more children. Nowadays, more and more families are choosing to have only one or two children. Are smaller families better than larger ones? Why or why not? State your position and support it with specific reasons and examples.

There are many large families that include more than six children; there are also many small families that include only one or two children. But nowadays, there are more and more people who are sticking to having only two or one children in their family.  Many believe that having smaller families is actually better than having a large family. Although they always seem to paint the perfect picture, smaller families are not better than larger families, because the larger families have a better chance at at least two of their children turning out successful, while smaller families have a lesser chance.

Even though having a small family may seem very appealing because there are fewer children, it would not be an advantage. It would not be an advantage because if your one kid dies, you would not have that child anymore that was supposed to be successful and live a long life. If you had a big family, you would not have to worry about that little dilemma. Let us say that you had six children. You would be able to count on at least two or three children out of the six to be successful and live a long life.  

Larger families are less prone to a child being unloved at home. They would have multiple siblings that they could go to for help, more children to play with, and less time being lonely. Being loved would help a child be more confident in himself or herself, so they would have support behind them in what they chose to become, therefore a better chance at success. Even though the parents of a smaller family still can love their child, they would not have as big as a support team as a larger family.

I am from a large family myself, even though it is not exactly six children. There are a total of five children (one boy and four girls). Even though we usually argue and call each other names almost every day, we still all love each other. We play with each other, are never lonely in the house, and we could go to each other for help if we needed it. Both my two older sisters are currently in college and my parents support them all of the way. This is just a prime example that at least two in my family right now might become successful in my family.

In conclusion, large families are better than larger families. Even though smaller families may seem better because of less people, it is not. There would be a fewer chance for them to become successful in their life and for them to live longer. Larger families have the advantage of a larger love to be shared throughout the siblings and parents. The children would be less lonely because they would have their siblings for company. I believe that we should all get the idea into our mind that larger is better in family matters. What do you think about that?

How to Make a New Friend

Making a friend is one of the biggest things that a person could achieve in life. It means that you have found someone who you could trust, could tell your feelings to, have fun with, and be loyal to. They are the people that sometimes you overlook and do not take a second glance at. Whichever way you go they are still there and it is very important in life to make as many true friends that you can in your lifetime that you can.

Making a friend may look easy in a movie, but quite frankly, it is very difficult. First, you have to see if you could trust them. If they lie to you then they are not a very good friend. Second, you have to see if you can go to that person for anything. If you cannot open up to them, then how are they going to be able to understand you? Third, you have to be able to relax and have fun with that person. If you simply cannot have fun, then that “friend” would be more of an acquaintance. Finally, if you are loyal to that person and they are loyal to you then your relationship would be happy. Once you have found all of these qualities in a person, by just talking to them, you would be able to consider that person a friend.

In conclusion, friends need to be able to have fun, be loyal, trustworthy, and you need to be able to open up your feelings to them. If you do not try to find these things in a person, you should not expect to find a friend. Just remember, making friends requires for you to look for them!

My Favorite Game

Everyone that I know has a favorite game to play. What is your favorite game to play? Is it a game of hide-in-seek or it could be an X-box game, like Halo or Call of Duty? I know that my favorite game to play is on the computer. It is a creating game and you could control the people in it and you could make them have the life that they wanted to have. It has gone from flat to 3D and I have loved each and every one of them when they came out. Have you guessed what game it is yet? If you have not guessed yet, the answer is the Sims.

Ever since the original Sims came out, I have been in love with the game. Instead of it being a game that scared the socks off my feet, this game was very accommodating to me. I was able to make a family or a single person and play out their life for them. I gave my Sims pets, money, a college education, vacation time, a skill to learn, an apartment, and even children. The game is so fun that I would pick this game over any other game because it has the ability to have what I want. Any other game would leave me bored or too scared to finish.

My favorite game would always be the Sims (all three versions). This game makes me happy because it is not scary or boring. If I were isolated on an island, I would be happy to have it because it would keep me entertained.

Impulse Buying

Have you ever gone to a shopping mall and when you saw all of the things that you could buy and the things that you wanted? Did you actually go up to that certain store or stores and in fact shopped until you dropped? Even though you may not realize this, but every time you are buying these things ii is because you had a sudden impulse to buy that item that was begging you to buy it. This is a very common thing among people who like to shop and it has a name. It is called impulse buying and there are certain cause and effects that follow it.

There could be many causes that are a part of impulse buying. Some of these may include: a way to cheer one’s self, a natural wanting to purchase stuff, media, or you just a shopaholic. If you have any of these qualities, then you may be prone to buy impulsively. There are also some effects that come into play when you buy impulsively. Some of these effects may include: spending too much money, going broke, having too much stuff, having unnecessary stuff, and not being able to save any money. Other than that there is nothing else to say about this.

In conclusion, when you buy something because you bought it without thinking, you are being an impulse buyer. A cause could be because you like to buy stuff and an effect could be you went and bought unnecessary things.

Pollution

Greeting’s my visitor from another planet from a different galaxy. I understand that this is officially your first visit to planet Earth and the Milky Way Galaxy. I know that there might be a lot of concepts on my planet that you may not understand from my planet and might find a bit overwhelming. Since you seem perplexed right now, I would like to introduce to you a major and serious problem on planet Earth. What is the problem, you ask? Well the problem is pollution.

Do you see the clouds in the sky? Do you notice how dirty and blackish brown that they are? Do you also notice how the air does not seem clean enough to breathe right and feel wonderful? Well, that is what pollution does. It comes from all of our factories, cars, and smog that we use. The factories produce the dirtiness in the air making it bad. Now, if you look at the country over there, you might notice that the skies are not like that. They are not like that because they have very little factories and such that cause the pollution. That is the one good thing about this planet. The country will be better dealing with pollution than our busy cities.

Now do you understand a little about what pollution is? Well that is a great thing to hear about because adapting to this planet is how we have to survive. Oh, I see that you have to leave already. I will see you later and next time I will tell you about our wonderful recycling methods.

Life Without Computers

Computers are a major thing in our everyday lives today. We use them to do our homework, launch military missiles, track people, to look up information, to stay in touch with faraway people, and to even store data. Computers are so advanced that they could even monitor a person from the inside of that certain individual’s body. Computers have also come so far that if they were to just magically disappear from our society today, our modern lives would be so different. Our modern lives would be so different that not only would our lives change forever, but also our whole entire future.

Imagine waking up in the morning and going to your television because you want to watch the morning weather report. You turn it on, but what you get is static, static and more static. That is because the television needs the computer to air a television show. Just think about what people would be like if they were not able to use their cell phones. People would go into withdraw and then there would be chaos everywhere. Not only would people would become crazy, but also they would not be able to function. The world would slowly die with all of the bedlam on the surface.

In conclusion, computers are our everything. If we did not have them we would basically die. Our planet would die because we would die, so that would mean no more Earth. Our lives would be so different; we would not be able to live.

My Favorite Singer

My all time favorite singer is Alicia Keys.

She was accepted into Colombia and went there when she was sixteen but then dropped out to pursue her career as a singer. Because of all of these events, it has allowed Alicia Keys to become who she is today because now she has reached her dream career.

Why I Am Unique

People have many qualities about themselves that stand out more than any other qualities. They could either be a good quality or a bad one. The thing is it would always be there unless you decide to change yourself to rid of it. Even though it may not seem like it, there is a special quality that makes everyone a different and unique individual. Even I have a special quality about myself that makes me a unique individual and it is that I can remember most of my daily dreams.

Even though some may think that is not unique because every dreams every day, I would like to clarify that I remember my dreams every day. It never fails me to remember at least one thing about my dream. Most people only remember at least one dream maybe a week, while I remember at least one of my dreams every day. I do not want to seem vain, but I like that I can remember my dreams every day. It helps makes me the unique individual that I am today. It makes me feel really special when I get to explain my dream though. It is like I am having the dream again and now I get to share the dream with someone else.

In conclusion, being able to remember my dreams makes me a unique individual. It makes me feel special because most people do not remember what they dreamed about. Now, would it not be lovely if next time I tell you a dream? I think that would be perfect.

Images: Class Assignment

I see the dark charcoal black of the horse, the sky blue sky, green grass, and the bright yellow sun. The dark and bright colors contrast. I hear the horse's hoof beats hit the soft grass, the wind blowing against the horse's mane and tail that make a sound like the wind against a flag, the horse's whinnies and snorts as one would try to brush it, and the horse's munching on a carrot. The mood it would bring would be of rebellion because of the fierce look in the horse's eye as one would try to ride a wild black beauty. The emotions that it would bring would be of intimidation because of the fear of falling off it because it went wild and of happiness for my love of horses and their beauty. The taste it would remind me of would be of original sun chips  because while I attempt to ride the horse, the sun air would be full of sun.

Pride's in One's Work

What do you think the world would be like if everyone doubted their artwork, school work, discoveries, theories, or their results in a project that they did? Do you think that people would have their stuff published and that the world would progress in higher knowledge? What would you think would happen if Leonardo da Vinci was not proud in his art piece Mona Lisa? How about if Copernicus was not proud in his Heliocentric Theory or if Galileo was not proud of his improved telescope? As you may see, pride in one’s work is very important.

If you do not have pride in your work, you would never be able to be successful in life. A part of being successful is acknowledging the work that you complete. If you have no pride in your work, your boss, teacher or professor would notice that it and they might misinterpret it as you did a poor effort in it. If you did have pride in your work, you might have someone try to criticize it, but there are others who would praise your work. Not only would you feel even better about your work, but you also would be displaying your best work out there, since you are proud about it.

In conclusion, pride in one’s work is very important. If there was no pride in your work, you would not be able to successful like Galileo or Leonardo da Vinci. If you did have pride in your work, you would be showing your best work and you would feel good about yourself.

Diversty

How many places in the world do you think is diverse? Do you think that it is the majority of the planet or do you think that there are a few places in the world are diverse? I myself believe the latter part of the question because I myself do not see much diversity around the world. Before I say anything else, I would like to tell you the meaning of diversity in my eyes. In my eyes, diversity is being able to work, learn, and be comfortable around another race that you might be familiar with.

An example of a place that is diverse would be my school. We do not have an overpowering race in it. Instead, we have an equal amount of Black and Latino students on campus. They mingle in with each other and there is not really a conflict between the two races. An example of a non-diverse place would probably be a school where the majority of the students are Caucasian and the races at the school do not mix and mingle together.  If there was diversity all around the planet then there would not be any separation of races. This is why I believe that we are not a diverse world because there is too much hate between any two races of people.

In conclusion, diversity is being tolerating and accepting of another race not of your own. The world is not diverse because of the hate between races therefore defeating the purpose of diversity. It could be diverse though if we really tried to tolerate each other.
