To Cheat? Or Not To Cheat?

      Cheating on anything is a big deal. It is against my personal beliefs and I believe it should not be done. Everyone has done it once in their life. They may not even known they have since cheating is so easy to do now. I have cheated multiple times and afterwards the guilt eats me alive. I want to be trusted more then anything, and if you have cheated, it takes a long time for a person to gain that trust back.
      Teachers have gotten very good at catching cheaters. They have figured a way to catch plagiarizers and to catch how people cheat on homework. On tests, kids can cheat rather easily, unless you have a teacher who thinks of ways to prevent it. The teacher could sit in an area so they can see everyone and what they do. They could spread you out and make you turn off your phones and set them on the desk so they could see them.
       Teachers have a tricky time with cheating. Students cheat all the time, especially since they have the ability to do so. Phones students have are able to get on the internet easily and look up answers quickly. So, if you are able to see their phones, they will not be able to cheat with them. This is something we need to find a solution to. It makes students become lazy and makes them think they can get away with anything. It lowers their expectations of themselves.

Fear...

        People have fears of anything and everything. Most people are terrified of sharks even though you don't hear new reports about people being injured or killed by sharks. They only kill 5 people annually. I think it is because of the movies tat are directed to make sharks look like vicious animals that tear people apart for no reason. This scares people away from the ocean, water, and sharks.
       High school football is something no one is afraid of. Students come to support and athletes are ready to play. One thing you might not have known is that high school football kills 20 people annually. Why are people afraid of sharks and not high school football? I think it is because you never hear horror stories about football has you do sharks. I personally have known a high school student who has been paralyzed because of a football accident. He broke is neck when he was tackled which cut his spinal cord.
       I have a fear of being alone. I think I got this fear when I was little after my parents divorce and I had to go from house to house everyday. I am afraid of living a life of loneliness and pain. I remember my mom living that life for 7 years after her divorce. I was 3, and I remember hearing her cry. I don't want to have that kind of life. I want to live life to the fullest without regret.
       Everybody has their own reason for their fear. That's why I think everyone's fear is rational. It may not be rational in your mind, but in theirs it is. People probably think my fear is ridiculous, but to me it's not at all. Everyone has their opinion on everything. Let them have it. If they think your fear is crazy, then let them. Don't try to be brave over peer pressure.
       Nothing deserves our fear. We are stronger then we think. We are afraid of stuff usually due from past experiences. One day we could get over them or we will just live with them. Fear is a state of mind, we just have to find a way to overcome it and over power our mind. I think over powering your mind is a hard thing to do. Our mind controls how we think. When we want to forget about something, our mind won't let us.

Laughter

The one thing that makes me laugh so hard is some of the videos on Youtube. This video especially gets me. I laugh harder then I have ever laughed when I saw this video. These cats have goat disease and fall over when their is a sudden sound over movement.

The Little Leaf in the Fall

Fall is coming quickly! This means my life is ending shortly. I will grow old with color and then slowly fall to the ground. I will turn to fertilizer in the ground to help others grow. I life of flowing in the wind will be over and then i will be stuck to the ground until I become nothing but a soggy leaf. I will be stepped on and kicked around, people will rack me up and put me in trash bags. I will no longer be with my family I will be all alone with new leaves. Some will be red, brown, orange, and even some green ones who have not yet lost their color. Death is near. There will be no more sunlight for me. I will just be another leaf that has gone onto the other side of the ground. I am scared to fall of this tree. There will be no more life left for me.
