Infinity Initiative new
My new passion is music. My plan for music is to contact local recording companies and find out how the buisness is done. I already edit music in my free time for fun and i enjoy it alot. SO i figured why not go and find the actuall pros and learn from them? Thats my new "Infinity Initiative" project topic.

My memorable school expirience is the mene mac orientation that we went to heading into freshman year. That was memorable for me because that was the first time i had seen any of the people that i would eventually have in almost every class.
The perfect vision of school for me is when we don't need math or science and we only take english and history. This is my perfect school because i don' t do well at all in math or science and english and history come easy for me. I also think that once you have the basic concepts of math down such as Algebra 1 i don't think you need math anymore. I think that Geometry is a complete waste of time. Science is a little more important but not really important because you don't really need to know it. English jis important because it allows a personm to function well in society with good grammar and speech. History is important because you need to learn from your mistakes so they arent repeated.

My passion in life is probably sports. Its the only thing that i enjoy doing and that i do on my own without anyone telling me what i need to do.I feel good and accomplished when i play sports especially football. It gives me internal happiness when i make a play for my team.
My expiriences with this passion are playing for our school and winning games. I contributed to the team that last year lost the JV championship game. I enjoy playing in our stadium becaus the support we get is amazing. I like playing in front of my friends and familly.
I would like to play college football if at all possible. I would like to learn all that there is to being a good defensive player and i want to use that to make my familly proud.

Something that affected my life and shaped it was that i began playing sports at a very young age. If it wasnt for that i dont think that i would be playing sports now and i think i would get into trouble. ANother thing that shaped my life is boy scouts. Its my way to relax in the outdoors and it gives me time to ponder my thoughts and be away from distractions in my everyday life. It also provides me with a type of mental toughness that helps me alot.

Allusion Poem Draft
A lie is something i can not stand
I show others friendship and courage
But i am extremly dangerous with a bow in my hand.
At dawn i harness my chariot and take flight.
Using 4 horses that pull the sun
I go through each day of life doing whats right.
The strings of my instruments make beautiful sound.
I practice when i can fine time in my schedule.
Hoping that my talent will be found.
My poetry is unrivaled far and wide
I write my lines from the heart
in them i scorn those who often choose to lie
I have many talents that none would guess.
I am relaxed and constantly free from stress.
I show others friendship and courage
But i am extremly dangerous with a bow in my hand.
At dawn i harness my chariot and take flight.
Using 4 horses that pull the sun
I go through each day of life doing whats right.
The strings of my instruments make beautiful sound.
I practice when i can fine time in my schedule.
Hoping that my talent will be found.
My poetry is unrivaled far and wide
I write my lines from the heart
in them i scorn those who often choose to lie
I have many talents that none would guess.
I am relaxed and constantly free from stress.

I was planning on doing my angry letter to the people of sams club. This one time the membership on our card expired and they wouldnt let us buy anything. we had a cake with my moms boss's name on it and yet they wouldnt let us buy it or our friends in back of us. We were gonna let our friend in back of us buy it but they wouldnt let us buy do it.

Risky Business draft
You can flip through all of the channels digital or cable and I can guarantee you will find at least one commercial that features only slim models. What kind of image does that create for the youth of America? That only sleek and slim people are accepted by society?
Of course there are other contributing factors to anorexia and binge eating such as Biological, physiological, and family as well as social pressures. Research shows that if a girl has a sibling with anorexia she is10 to 20 times more likely to develop the condition too. Families with drug and alchohol abuse also have a 10 to 20 time higher risk of developing an eating disorder. So the media isn’t totally responsible for anorexia and binge eating.
All over the world the standard of beauty in cultures is sleek slim people. Plus sized models are never used for advertising because the slim models are more visually appealing to the general audience. But the image it creates for people is anything but positive. This figure is extremely hard to obtain because a lot of your figure is determined biologically. Anorexia has been recognized as an eating disorder since the late 19th centuries and studies show that Anorexia and binge eating has increased with every decade.
Out of the approximate 6 billion people in the world about 10 million people suffer from some kind of eating disorder. More and more of these people are getting televisions and the programs on the TV contribute to eating disorders. If you watch most programs you’ll see that the bad guys and the other antagonists are usually portrayed as bigger and lazy especially in children’s shows. Examples such as super man, the twilight characters, and people like Ugly Betty on ABC are shown as bad and not in style or good. While a lot of little girls grow up with Barbie and ballet dancers that are all also slim. The thought that slimness, sleek bodies, and big muscles are implanted in the youth of America from a young age and that contributes greatly to eating disorders.
On shows like Entertainment tonight and the insider the shoot down celebrities for not having perfect bodies and teens who watch this get the idea that bodies that are average and that they should be happy with aren’t good enough when they really are. People should be proud of there bodies because the image of the “perfect body” doesn’t fit with a lot of peoples genetics and lifestyle and a lot of times that’s not something you can help so they should just be proud of there bodies and disregard what the media says and shows.
