From highschool to college

College is a big step in most peoples lives. Its the transition from childhood to maturing in to adults. I can honestly say I think iv grown up with my short time iv spent at college. I learned to realize you really do need to come to class and do all of the homework assigned to you. In high school I use to miss at least 40 days a year. Ill admit I wasn't always sick on those days, but I just needed a break. I hated having to go to high school from 8 am till 3 pm. It took up my whole day. Then when I would finally get out of school, I would have to rush and get ready for work.

The classes I'm taking at ICC are kind of similar to high school to me. Except for the homework. I have a lot of homework each night plus I work 6 days a week. This is a lot to do, but it helps that I only go to school in the morning. This leaves me with time to take a nap before work and do some of my homework. When starting ICC, I was very nervous of what to expect. I seem to always think of the worst scenarios of everything. Many thoughts went through my head on that first day, for getting lost, to not knowing anyone in my classes, and even dreading to meet my new teachers. I soon found out that I love college, I love my teachers, and the new friends I have made. ICC is a good school, and it helped me with the transition from high school to college. I’m really glad I came here first before I went off to a 4 year university.

wiki/ word dream

The wiki project is a very unique project. It’s unlike anything iv ever done for school. You get to put your own input on a word and what that word means to you. Every word has its own unique, and even personal meaning to every individual. I use words everyday through out life, you use them even when your not thinking about it. I never thought I could learn so much about one single word, and let along make new connections to the word.
The word I chose to do my wiki project on was dream. Dream is a very passionate, positive word. I like to try to always be a positive person, even in the hard times life faces you with. I just recently lost another close friend on September 25th, it was a very hard thing to go through. Especially since iv been through this same thing almost 2 years ago, and the 2 boys were really close. What got me through these tough times is just dreaming, and looking at it in the best way. I dream that they are both living it up in heaven, and that ill be with them again someday. Life has many different obstacles, and things you need to experience first hand to know how it feels. But if you dream of something just make it happen. Anything can happen if you just try.

Pro Marijuana

The debate to legalize marijuana has been going on for some time now. Some people take it super seriously and some people are just laid back about the whole argument. I am pro legalizing marijuana. Many people all around the world have smoked marijuana. No one is forcing them to smoke, it is there choice to inhale the drug. Marijuana has been known to help cure terminally ill people. Such as AIDS victims, people with glaucoma, and cancer patients.
It helps the AIDS victims stimulate their appetites to fight off dangerous emaciation. Glaucoma sufferers use marijuana to help prevent them from going blind and helps cancer patients deal with there severe nausea that often comes with chemotherapy. Marijuana can cause some short term memory loss but only while under the influence. Long term memory loss does not come with smoking the drug. Neither does it lead to harder drugs. Marijuana does not cause brain damage, genetic damage, or damage the immune system.
Unlike alcohol, marijuana does not kill brain cells or induce violent behavior. I read a poll online done by the United States government, National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the Bureau of Mortality Statistic that shows annual American deaths. Marijuana was last on the list with zero deaths. The pole said that tobacco caused 400,000, alcohol caused 100,000, all legal drugs caused 20,000, all illegal drugs caused 15,000, caffeine caused 2,000, and aspirin caused 500. I think more people should worry about the affects alcohol has on our body over the effects of marijuana.
