Wakeboarding

I hate tubers on a butter-smooth lake. They destroy the mood of the place, and they totally kill the water. When someone is out wakeboarding and the water is smooth like glass, nobody wants to have to deal with a transition from that, to ripples, to bumps, then to huge wakes that are bigger than the one your boat is making thus causing you to not carve out then back in with speed to only catch to perfect curl get major air and land a sweet trick. Tubers that chop the water on a butter-smooth lake should be band from the lake because they take away any opportunity of good wakeboarding, make people very angry and annoyed, and even possibly causes people to never come back to the lake again.
Tubers take away any opportunity of good wakeboarding when the water is like glass. The water is smooth and you’re just cruising to the hum of the motor. You feel like your flying and so you go on edge cut hard through the water. SPLASH! Out of nowhere this other boat comes zipping and swerving past you. You lose focus on the jump that’s about to happen when a wake buries the nose of your wakeboard then you feel a stinging pain. Your face kills as it meets the water with a smack this is way tubers suck. You come out of the water and your ears are ringing and for the rest of the day you just can’t get back into the rhythm you had earlier that morning. This is how tubers take away any opportunity for good wakeboarding or skiing.
Nobody wants to be angry when they are out on the lake and doing something they love. Unfortunately when a tuber is on the lake at five in the morning when the sun just came up and the water is 70 degrees people get very upset. People can get out of control when something like that happens. They can even trail behind and splash the other boat, then by the time you get home you are mad and soaking wet and you might take your furry out on your own family. As you can see people can get very mad and annoyed.
I don’t think that anyone wants to experience someone taking the best water by doing something that is more fun in choppy water. If this ever happens to someone they might stick around a while but sooner or later they will leave. They will probably leave sooner at that. Once they are gone they might never even come back again. If they do come back I guarantee they don’t stay very long. This is a reason why tubers should be band from lakes that have awesome water.
In conclusion you can tell that tubers that chop up the water on a butter-smooth lake should be kicked off the lake because they take away any opportunity of good wakeboarding, make people very angry and annoyed, and possibly even cause people to never come back to the lack again.

Love

Are you a person that does not know the importance of love? Do you even understand love? Well ,if you read this essay then you will find the importance of love, understand love, and get wonderful and amazing ideas.
Love is a very strong word. If you are a person that does not fall in love you will be very lonely until you do fall in love. Love is important, because if you don’t fall in love you wont be able to experience having a loving family. It says in the Bible that you are suppose to get married. It is a great thing to have someone to share your life with. If you don’t you will never get to have an experience of being in love, or having those special memories.
If you don’t fall in love, you will never be able to do what couples do together. Having children that you made, brings joy to your heart. You can then do fun family activities together. If you don’t you wont have those special memories that a family can give you.
When you fall in love and get married you will be able to support each other and your family. If you have money for your wedding then you can decorate and have it as nice as you want.You can do fun family activities together. If you have children you can spoil your children. If you have a lot of money then you can buy a nice house and nice cars.
This is why love is important. So if you want to find true love then here is some great advice for you. If you do not want to find true love then you will end up as a lonely person and wont be as happy as the people who are in love.

My Home Away From Home

Finding a home away from home is one of the very limited things to hold extremely close to one’s heart. The home away from home takes you a big step from reality. This home is where your dreams come alive. You can look around and demand what you want and it will magically appear. You can also feel any way want. You can feel comfortable and relaxed or scared and confused. Whichever one you prefer. My home away from is Norway resulting from the places, the love of my family, and the nature.
One of the things that make Norway my home away from home are the wonderful places. One of my favorite places to go is the ocean. My favorite ocean I go to is called Glenne beach. This ocean is very special to me because its part of me along with my name. This beach is one of many branches of all the wonderful things that make this my home away from home. This beach is as quite has the ocean itself. The normal sand is dismissed and is replaced with gray stone. Flowers cover the grassy areas and leads to the beautiful forest. There are varieties of depths in the ocean so many age groups can come and play. This is great because my whole family young and old can come and enjoy it. In order to get to the shallow water you walk through a sharp shell covered terrain. The pain from the edges of the shells, jabbing you in the feet, is recessive against the dominant sound and beauty of the ocean. The feeling of being able to hear the ocean without using a sound maker is one of the best feelings I know of. In Denver there is no ocean at all so it’s great to feel the cold warmth of the water. In the less shallow water there are huge rocks that I climb on to fish up crabs. My favorite place to swim is in the deep water. My favorite way to get in to the deep water is to jump of a very old dock. There are three main feeling that I absorb within a about 10 to 15 seconds. The first feeling comes when I get a huge running start to jump of the dock into to the inviting water. I feel as if I’m taking a risk. I feel like I break free and fly with out having to worrie what shall happen if I fall. In the middle of my jump I get my second feeling, This feeling is one when I realize that I belong in Norway, that this should be my permanent home. Hitting the water gives me my third feeling. I feel the ocean. The water finally becomes friendly again. The shock of being cold finally goes away and I begin to enjoy the feeling. I feel weightless and as if nothing can hurt me because the water is protecting me. Everything around me is beautiful but the one thing that catches my eyes is the water is beautiful along with the water that shimmers upon it. The ocean is a huge part of my home.
The love of my family is also a huge part of my home. All of my true family is there. The one person I love too much to explain is my grandmother. I call her Bestemor. She one thing that drives me through the hard times of life. Whenever I look at her I automaticly smile. She does so many things I love. One of the things I love to do with my Grandmother is go berry picking in the forest next to her house. Her and I try to do as much as we can together. I also love my great aunt. I call her Titttis. I try and visit her as much as I can. Her house is small but very cozy. When I walk in I can smell the love. She spends a lot of her time in her garden. Her garden is amazing. It’s filled with colorful flowers and many berry bushes. If I walk a little past her house I get to my Great Aunt and Uncles house. Their names are Uncle Per and Aunt Bodle. He’s a funny old man and so is she. I love visiting my mom’s cousin and hr family. Her name is Anne-fi. She is so fun to hang out with. She has mixed personalities. She s normally very sophisticated but she shows a kids side once in awhile. She has an adorable son named Jesper. He is so cute. He loves to run around and play with me. All of my family members make me feel as if I belong. I’m very much like them I look like them and even think like them.
Everywhere in Norway is covered in nature. I live in nature instead if on the surface of it. The meadowed forest and the water come together to become the heart of nature. The meadowed forest is pure green and filled with many other colors. One of my favorite things to do in the forest is to pick berries. Many varieties of berries cover the land. There are blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and many, many others. I loved making jam out of those berries. It’s an original family tradition. I really don’t like mushrooms pick if I hand pick them in a Norwegian forest I’ll eat them. Normally pick them with my mom. We pick them and put them in old tin buckets. My mom usually has the berry bucket and I have the berry bucket. Mushrooms and berries aren’t the only thing the forest contains. It has flowers. Lots and Lots of flowers. One of my hobbies is picking them. There are so many different types of lowers to pick, even edible ones. My favorite flower is a very simple flower. It called “Blue bell.” This flower isn’t the one flower that smells there best or even the one that eats flies. I love it anyways. You can also find a lot of animals in the meadowed forest and ocean areas. In the forest there’s squirrels and dears. In the water areas there’s sea life, frogs, and moose. My grandma’s house is right on a lake. Once in awhile a moose will come and drink out of the lake. It looks amazing. The berries, mushrooms, and animals make me feel welcome.
Norway is my true home away from home. It makes me feel as if I’m at the top of the world. Like I’m invincible. Like no one can stand in my way. Norway is the most wonderful place that very, very deep in my heart.

Live

Have you ever heard the saying “Live every day like it is your last.”? Well beionedlieve it or not I agree with this statement because it shows or says that people need to live an interesting or exciting life. It also shows that you should wake3 up each and feel like you have your whole life ahead of you and its time you start living it. I also thank that if you don’t believe you will most likely die young and have nothing to show for it except a life lived in self-consciousness and insecurity.



Let me start this paragraph by asking you another question. How do you live an exciting life? The answer is this, you can live an exciting by simply rearranging your schedule, by saying this I mean that instead of waking up in the morning and going to work you should take a personal day and trying new foods or quit your job and pursue your long hidden dream. You see, there is no limit to how high living every day like it is your last can take you. You can also try some sport you have always wanted to do but never got a chance because you were always to busy.



As I have mentioned in the first paragraph that if you don’t believe in this statement you’ll most likely die young and have nothing to show for it .Now let me try and take a guess about what you’re thinking. I personally think that you are thinking I am dead wrong and there’s no way that, that statement above is correct because a lot of people don’t believe in this statement and they’re in great shape and there’s no way they’re going to die young because frankly they look great. We’ll let me tell you something that if you see someone that looks like he’ s doing well that means that he does live every day like it is his/her last because he/she obviously likes taking care him/her self instead of wasting countless hours in front of that idiot box [aka T.V.]



As I have already mentioned in my introductory paragraph that people need to live an interesting and exciting life. I believe in this statement because if you don’t an interesting and exciting life you’ll most likely suffer from the disease putting people asleep for being way to boring during conversations if you have this disease you should consult a doctor immediately and receive medical attention. As you can probably guess this disease can be fatal if you are diagnosed with P.P.A.F.B.W.T.D.C and believe me you would rather die than live a boring life. I’m going to finish this essay by telling you to turn of the T.V. and go live your life.

Why do things turn out the way they do?

Why do things turn out the way they do? It’s more then likely because everything happens for a reason. Or maybe things don’t happen for a reason, but I think they do. Everything happens for a reason, because you have to do something for something else to happen, things don’t just randomly happen, and you usually can’t control how things are going to turn out.
Chain reactions are one example of why everything happens for a reason. You see something has to happen for the next thing event to occur. For an example if you’re rollerblading and your break doesn’t work causing you to run into a pole. Normally the average person would not just walk into a pole for the fun of it this example proves that this mishap is caused by a chain reaction. You see it is very much like cause and effect. Everything is connected to one another. Therefore everything you do will affect the next thing you do. Like eating something salty will cause you to go get something to drink. This is how chain reactions are part of the fact that everything happens for a reason.
Another reason I honestly believe everything happens for a reason is because things don’t just randomly happen. To show my point here is an example, say your moms favorite lamp is lying on the floor in a million little pieces, I highly doubt it just threw its self off of the table, maybe there is a possibility that you kicked a ball in the house which knocked down the lamp causing it to break this shows that things really don’t just randomly happen, something causes them to happen. Here you will also see that things are connected to every little thing we do. Why did this unfortunate burden have to fall on your shoulders you ask, well it’s because something else will come out of it. So this explains how things don’t randomly happen, they really happen for a reason.
Last but not least do you ever notice how things don’t always turn out the way you want them to. Well that is because you can’t control the outcome of things. It’s like if you have a huge test that you studied for like crazy and despite all that studying you still fail. That’s probably not how you would have planned it, but it does show how things may not always go the way you planned therefore you didn’t get to decide what the outcome would be. Once again though, something will come out of you failing your test. So you’ll also see that this is connected with the next event that will occur in your life. Everything you do is going to lead up to something and you can’t control it.
Everything is connected somehow, doing something for the next thing to happen, things not just randomly occurring, and not being able to control the outcome of everything are all examples of how things really do happen for a reason. If you look in you everyday life you will see these things happening all around you. This all proves that everything happens for a reason, and you reading this very paper is more then likely for a reasons, and me writing is also for another reason that will also affect me in.

"why comparison?"

I am sad because of what you have or I’m happy because of what you lack. Our feelings of satisfaction or dissatisfaction can all lead to how we compare ourselves to others. When we look at those who have more, we feel bad. When we look at those who are less fortunate, we feel grateful. Even though, accentually we all have the same life’s either way, but how we see our self’s has a tremendous effect. You should compare yourself to those examples that mean something to you but make you feel good about what you have and who you are. Comparing your self to the right people is important because if you do, you may feel confident in your self and achieve your goals. On the other hand, if you don’t you lower your selfesteem and experience a mild case of depression, or even become jealous and envois toads the person you compare yourself to.

People who compare themselves to the right people are able to achieve their goals a lot easer then someone who doesn’t. Take tucker for example, he is a 23 year old man and is working at the McDonalds of off Quebec street. Now don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against eating or working at any fast food restaurants, but Tucker has a lot of unrecognized potential. The thing is his whole life he always compared himself to the smartest people he could find and it made him think that he was not well educated, which is surtantly not the case he had about a 3.0 when he graduated highschool, but never experienced collage for fear of not being good anoff. Many people have or will incounter this type of sineryo were they look at the crème, delacrem of every thing and begin to degrade themselves. But there are also the people like Stacy.

Stacy is a cut girl around Tuckers age, but she has a good degree as a pediatric doctor. Her whole life, she compared herself with kids who were may a little more talented when it comes to ‘book smarts’ but that pushed her to do better to try and keep up with her fellow class mates. Stacy graduated High school with a strong 3.3 and felt good about her and went to a great collage.

The way you look and feel towards yourself have a tremendous effect on the outlook of your life. You should have a fairly high level of self-esteem and feel confident in yourself. Studies show that when a group of kids take a test there are those who finish slowly and those who finish fast. Researchers found that kids who finish fast and compare themselves to the fastest felt dissatisfied. When those who finished slow but compared themselves to the slowest felt that they had accomplished something. If certain individuals can’t keep up with the best, witch they don’t have to, and compare themselves to those people, it can drive them into thinking that they do not posses true talent. Which can then lead to mild cases of depression, leading the chilled into thinking that they are labeled as a, “dumb” person and therefore cannot obtain maximum sufficiency in life.

Have you ever had a friend or two that you really admired their skills or talents? Well, people who compare themselves to friends or loved ones, that have a special trait, can often get vary dishearten when they can’t pull off the skill. If you are ever savagely throw into this type of dilemma you can always think of your soon to be good friend, Sammy. Sammy is a 13teen year old, who love mashed potatoes and skateboarding. Johnny is Sammy’s best friend, or was…you see Johnny skates to, but he is extremely good and has been doing it for years, where Sammy is still learning. Any ways, Sammy began to compare his abilities to that of Jonnies, and became a little jealous. Soon Sammy’s jealousy became a fiery, crazed, ball of heated emotions that could blow at any given moment. Now, the two aren’t friends and Sammy hangs out with a real ruff crowed. I can only hope that you are beginning to realize that if a person has a special gift or ability, you cant get mad and jealous, well I guess you can, but you shouldn’t, you should give them there props, for real G!

So do you see that how you see yourself can and doe’s matter and how you compare yourself to people has a large effect. Just remember, there will always be the bigger the smaller the richer the poorer but it’s who you are, and the fact that you know it that will make the difference.

Loving Life

Life is something you need, without it you wouldn’t be here today. You never know when you won’t be here; and the quote “ live everyday like it’s your last” kind of describes that because there could be changes, things that should be said, and that you are only going to live once.
Things change all the time and you never know when the thing that changes is your life. One day everything can be fine and the next you might not even have a have a life. Some changes are scary so you have to adapt to them and try not to let them bother you. Do everything you need to do and change those bad things into good things. Your last day could be coming up soon.
When you have something to tell someone and it is important you need to tell them because you might not live another day to tell them that you love them, or they’re your best friend, or just saying thank you. But, it doesn’t just have to be good things you need to say it could be bad things as well. If there was something said that needed to be, then it could have helped someone feel special, needed, and like they have accomplished something. When you say just one little thing.
A precious thing that can’t ever be replaced is your life. You have one chance to make it work for yourself. Take everything you have got and use it all on your life because you only live once to use it.
So when you wake up every morning just remember that you need to “live everyday like it’s your last” and that things are always going to change, and that your going to have to say at least one thing to someone that is important to you that should be said, and that you only are going to live once.

Turning Back Time

You can never turn back time. You can only live off your memories. Time is a very precious thing, and sometimes if your not careful it will slip right past you. “Living every day like it’s your last,” is a great way to think about life because you will not regret any moment, you will have more fun, and you never know when life might take an unexpected turn.
If someone close to you has died, someone almost always regrets, regrets what they said, what they did, and sometimes what they didn’t do. If you were in that person’s place, and about to die, would you really want to look back on your life and wish that you had done something differently? Life is like a sponge. You have to squeeze it to get every last drop out of it, and by doing so you will be much happier because you will not regret doing anything. You only live once, so why not live it to your fullest?
Having fun is probably of some importance to every person, but if you take chances, and have a positive attitude, then you will most likely have more fun. There are always some days when you’re feeling down, but if you make the most out of it, you will be much happy with yourself.
Parents are always holding on to their child’s hand when they are little for safety. But accidents do happen, and people get hurt. You never know when something might happen to you. You could step off a curb and get hit by a bus, so if you take chances you will do more in your life. After all, life is short, and it can fly right by.
Live every day like it’s your last and you will overall live a happier and fuller life.

Change The Past... How About Not

Many people believe that changing the past can change who a person is. Or that the things that happen now wouldn’t happen if their past was different. I believe we learn from our mistakes because we wouldn’t want to repeat them, we are better prepared for the next time it happen, and many people are aware of what can happen and know how to prevent it.

Mistakes are part of our life. They help us make better decisions the next time it happen. For example, when I was younger I ate snow that had just fallen, along with my sister. The next day I got so sick that I would vomit every time something went down my throat. I had to lie on the cold floor, surrounded by plastic bags, while my sister got to play and go to friend’s houses. From that mistake, I learned never to eat snow again. The next snow storm that came I didn’t even touch the snow.

From my experience of eating snow, the next time it snowed I was aware of what could happen and I tried to prevent it. Another example could be September 11. When the world trade centers were hit we weren’t expecting it to happen. From our experience we are aware that it can happen and we would want to do everything we can to prevent it.

If what happened on September 11 happened again, we would want to be ready. Unlike the first time it happened, our mistake should make us better prepared for the next time it will happen.

So from these examples, we can learn that our mistakes can help us learn not to repeat them, we are better prepared, and we are aware that it can happen again. So that is why I believe that our mistakes help us learn to make better decisions. What do you think about mistakes? Can they change your world or can they leave you hanging?

Life is too short

Life is too short, so make the most of it. Don’t be afraid to try new things. Don’t regret things you did or didn’t do. Have fun and don’t get worried about little things. Remember that everyone makes mistakes. Life should be lived to its fullest because then you will learn to take risks, you won’t have any regrets, and you won’t be worried all the time.
“Living everyday like it’s your last” means to take chances and do things that you wouldn’t normally do, so you can look back and say that you lived a good life. Be adventurous and explore. You should try something new instead of just sitting around doing what you do everyday. You will have more fun and you won’t be bored because it will be a new experience. You should try sky diving, bungee jumping, or hot air ballooning. By making the most of your day you will learn to take risks and chances.
If you live everyday as best as you can, then you won’t have any regrets. Even if you’re not in a good mood, still try to be happy and nice because later on you might regret a decision you made or said. If you make a mistake don’t put yourself down or blame your mistake on someone else because the choice you made could cost you. If you go with the flow, not worry about every little error that occurs, and do thing out of the ordinary then you won’t have any regrets on things you did or didn’t do.
If you’re worried all the time then you won’t have time to think about anything else. You have to forget about your past problems and just go with what’s happening in your life right now. If you let past problems interfere with your life it could cause stress and way to much worry. You wouldn’t be able to concentrate on important things. Don’t let your nerves get to you or else you won’t get anything done.
You only have one life, so when it’s over you can’t go back and change it. That’s why you have to live it the best you can so will take chances, you won’t have any regrets, and you won’t be worried.
