Personal Essay - "Of Adventure"
Being adventurous serves for fufillment, oppurtunities, and for excitement. An individual may accomplish fufillment by being adventurous. Being adventourus can be simply challenging yourself to do something you may not have choosen to do before. It could be an activity, traveling or even as simple as taking the chance to meet new people. Fufillment will be succeeded and accomplished by an idividual, if they build up enough courage and self-confidence. The feeling of fufillment is exceptional to any individual, and an irreplacable moment in their memory. An indivual may be open to new oppurtunities by being adventurous. Like the old qoute, "the early bird, always gets the worm', individuals who excel themselves will be given oppurtunities, its a fact of life. Oppurtunities aren't something that typically come out of nowhere, an individual must have an interest to notice the oppurtunity available ahead of them. Oppurtunites can range from many events, such as a new job oppurtunity to an oppurtunity to get to join a group that raises awarness for a cause you believe in (Relay for Life, raise money and awareness to fight cancer). An individual that is adventous and outgoing, will be able to succeed, and be given oppurtunities. If as an indivual you really want a certain oppurtunity, and you work hard enough then you will recieve that oppurtunity. Everything happens for a reason, and oppurtunites are only given to those who deserve the chance. An individual may be open to excitement by being adventurous. As an individual, being adventurous typically engages you into excitement, and sometimes disbelief. Disbelief as in the fact that as an individual you are over joyed and astonished to what is going on, because your mind is in a million different places. Excitement is happiness. Its simple bliss, and unforgetable. You will cherish the moments you are excited. Adventure can

    “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, send the homeless tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” Reference? America has long been the land of freedom and hope to the world, and the American military is what has kept her that way. People have forgotten how important and valuable the military is to the world that we live in. As part of the Budget Control Act of 2011, automatic sequestration calls for $1.2 trillion in lowered federal spending, with 50% coming from defense and 50% coming from non-defense budgets. If Congress cannot reach an agreement, these cuts will reduce the Department of Defense spending by about $55 billion dollars. On September 11, 2001, the United States faced a difficult time in which 3,000 lives were lost due to an attack upon the U.S. by terrorists who hijacked airplanes and crashed them into the Twin Towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and the United States Pennsylvania! That day, 9/11, has become a day in which we remember the lives that were lost and the families who were affected by such a tragedy. We called on our military once again, and they were there to protect our country. I am against automatic sequestration towards the military and military programs for many reasons.…

    Taking risks meaning jumping off of cliffs, swimming in a ocean with man-eating sharks, and climbing massive mountains with assertive. Exploring history that was discovered a long time ago would be enjoyable to see it in person. Seeing where Jesus was in the world and what he did. Listening to stories about George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. Building up my confidence when traveling can be a fun experience. Of course, do crazy things and enjoying myself. Adventures reduce stress so I can relax. Relaxing on Virginia beach would be nice, but to visit Hawaii and enjoy the beach would be an enjoyment. Adventures can be amazing, good for your health, and…

    Online, physically, or verbally you can be a victim of being bullied. You don’t have to keep things as they are. The question is how to handle the situation (Do you attack the bully and become the bully yourself? Or do you ignore the bully and pretend all is well?) What you do is speak up and ask for help. I would know, because not only was I a victim, I was also a person who stood by and simply watched it happen.…

    "It's not just a game," to many athletes this statement rings true. Sports fuel the drive and determination within people, and provide them an essential learning tool from which they can grow. Competitive is defined as, "of or relating to a situation in which people or groups are trying to win a contest or be more successful than other : relating to or involving competition ."(merriam-webster.com) This concept of competitiveness is the foundation of all sports. The competitive spirit and thirst to want to better oneself in order to be at the top is a fueling force that will propel our children far beyond their years on the court. Providing children with equal playing time in youth sports discourages the necessary need for healthy competition and takes away valuable life lessons that will prepare them for the future.…

    In times like today, people have mixed views on smoking and on the effects it has on the human body.

    Due to the financial crisis there have been many changes made to government programs to reduce costs and help with debt. Many of these cuts are happening statewide, in America’s public schools. The first programs that are being cut are the art programs, and the excuse is that the core classes are more important. The argument is that children need to be more focused on test scores in Math, Science, English and History. It is unfair to single out art classes, there should be a more even spread of budget cuts, not just the sole elimination of the arts. There are parents who are indifferent with the arts and they are unfazed by their removal from elementary public schools. What many of these parents do not recognize is that there are actually benefits of the arts that help with core subjects. Some benefits are strengthening problem solving skills, stimulating critical thinking and helping developmental growth. There is also a duel component that shows that there is a direct correlation between SAT test scores and art programs in schools, as well as higher participation and attendance. It has also been shown that the arts can help boost the economy.…
