I believe in Buena water polo I believe that in due time ill be the next olympic goalie I believe that only one that can hold me back is me I believe that life is only as good as you make it I believe that dogs are mans' best friend I believe that people should be treated the way they treat others

I know what its like to play Buena water polo as a goalie. Being a goalie is being lazy by other players. Nut what most don’t consider is how important the goalie is.

I know that in water polo the goalie has the fait of the game on their shoulders. For every shot not blocked by a field player, the goalie either blocks the shot or misses the shot. And missing results in a goal. I know that some teams will blame the goalie for every shot missed.

I know that to be a goalie you half to be strong. You half to be strong physically, but mentally as well. as a goalie, you cant allow goals to put you down. If you do your game drastically changes. As more and more goals are made you either take the goal as an insult, or you allow the shot to bring your game down to were you can’t do anything.

I know that in order to play as a water polo goalie you need at least two of the following: strong legs, quick reflexes, and the ability to read the shot. If these are not present, the goalie will struggle until one is gained.

February 12, a seemingly normal day for EO Green M.S. until the shooting of Larry king. Many would say Brandon Mclnerny is at fault. __But as many won’t consider, is that the school is at fault.__ As tension grew as EO Green, you would suspect that the school administration would do something. When in fact only were made and Larry King being encouraged by his principle. What was done by Brandon Mclnerny is by all means wrong, but could have been if the school administration would truly have done something. But when the principle encouraged the wrong behavior and a gun unnoticeably gets on campus, then you know something is wrong.

It is wise to say the school is at fault because Larry King has been removed from P.E. classes for sexually assaulting other male students in the locker room. And knowing that his actions go unchecked afterwards speak for itself. That alone tells us that the school administration doesn’t really care about what Larry King was doing. But even if they turned a blind eye to Larry King, they should have been watching what is happening around him.

As of February 12, the school administration awareness was put to the test. When Larry King was shot, he was in class with other students. This meant that the teacher should have been aware of what was happening. But even after the shooting the teacher just lets hem walk out. What Brandon Mclnerny did was wrong. But what is expected from a kid with a violent childhood. And everything escalates after being humiliated in front of his friends knowing/thinking he cannot be helped. So he let his emotions take over.

So before full reasonability is giving Brandon Mclnerny. Look at all the ways school administration could have. Should have prevented this tragedy from happening.

I believe Brandon should be tried in adult court. Brandon has killed someone and has a higher chance to kill again if released at the age of twenty-five. So it is best to keep him off the streets.

Brandon’s actions could have been in the heat of the moment or planed. But the problem is that he killed Larry of harassment and embarrassment. And Brandon might do worse later in life. And it might take less to provoke him.. Brandon shouldn’t be released at 2twenty-five from rehabilitation because you can’t know for sure if he is. He might say he is when he really isn’t. Brandon should be put in prison fifty-three to life. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Brandon should be tried as a juvenile. But still should get a life sentence. His crime shows that he will kill. Whether or not it was planned. He let his emotions control him. People like that tend to do more crimes. And are what need to be stopped. Brandon should be sentenced to fifty-three years in life. Even if it is to prevent a crime that may never happen. It is better to be prepared for something that may never happen. Than something happen and not be prepared.

I agree with Susan Sontag, but also disagree. Photography can help better understand an emotional effect a situation that text cannot. But they cannot give a full understanding on what is going on. And to better understand what is going on, text is and photography together explain a lot more than if they were alone. Sontag states that “a photograph of the Krupp works reveals virtually nothing about the organization”. Which is understandable, a photograph alone can only show what the place looks like. Text can better explain better what is happening. Sontag also stated that “only that which narrates can make us understand”. This is true to an extent. To understand something you need to know the cause, why it must be done and ending effect. But as Sontag states that “only that which narrates can make us understand”, she is also wrong. The one thing text cannot show is emotion. Without emotion, text is taken lighter than they were meant to be. Text can tell cause and effect but not show it. Photographs can display the emotion needed to better understand a situation. Together text and photographs can better describe a moment in time. TheJapanearthquake for example. If you have text you have the cause and effect. If you have a photograph, then you have emotional value. And together they make what is said and shown better understandable. Sontag is correct that pictures alone don’t show much. But with text added to give the viewer an understanding on what is being shown. Together a lot more is said than just one alone. So Sontag is correct. But also wrong.

Love. It has many meanings. Whether its family, friends, pets or that one special person. Love can be described as an emotion or chemical reaction, but the only person that can choose is you. No one can tell you to love someone. No chemical reaction can make you feel a certain way. You half to choose because the only one living your life is you. Evolutionary anthropologists learned that males tend to have a broader, thicker shape. This tells possible female mates that this particular male is capable to protect her. The males with the broader, thicker shape are usually first pick for females. And females have a more slender this tells males that they are ready to breed. This females with slender bodies show better health and are better suited to care for the offspring. In chemical responses, testosterone (mainly males) and estrogen (mainly females) kick start their reproductive organs. Dopamine (chemical that gives pleasure), serotonin (causes mood changes and works in the construction of blood vessels), and norepinihprine (no adrenaline chemical that gives the body a sudden burst of energy). Which leads to oxytocin which leads to a sense of well being.

Many describe love as a chemical reaction since it cannot be traced to anything other than impulses in the brain. And these reactions make us act a certain way to different people. Or thought of as a process just to keep the species alive that has started millions of years ago. But in the end the only one that makes those reactions happen is you. You choose how you feel towards different people. and no chemical reaction can make you marry someone. Love is a feeling and a privilege one person has for another. So what is love? Is it a chemical reaction, or just a evolutionary process? So may say chemical reaction, some may say it’s just an evolutionary process. But the only one that can choose for you. IS YOU!

If I were to choose one important thing to write about, id chooses me dog Kona. She is my little girl no matter what anyone says. I have been with her her whole life (2/12) years.

Kona is important to me because I been with since she was bout six weeks old. I first meet her after water polo practice atVenturaCollege pool. When I first saw her I got changed and stole her from my grandma. Once I got back to her house, I got one of my small blankets and wrapped her up and wouldn’t give her to anyone. After that I went home with my dad, and once I got home I fixed my bed for her comfort. And whenever she was with me, I would lie in bed and stare into her big jet black eyes. They were so cute. And as she started getting older things became a habit of her coming to me whenever she got in trouble.

Once Kona was about 1, she was 2 2/1-3 feet tall and 3-4 feet long. Her problems begun. Since I always did stuff with her and got her out of trouble, she grew to love me more than anyone else. Whenever I would leave she would lay around the house depressed. She wouldn’t even run when going on a walk. And all dogs love to run. But once I came around, she was the happiest dog in the world. I would take her on walks, and she’d be running me. And she let me do anything to her. Stand on her, lay on her, throw her on the couch or bed and trip her. All she would do in return is wag her tail with enjoyment.

So if I were to choose something to write about it would be Kona. She is my a weird dog. But I’m proud to call her mine

I believe modern marriages are better because you get to choose who to spend the rest of your life with. You are able to love someone because you love them. Not because you half to. In traditional marriages, the person that you live with the rest of your life is chosen for you. It is said that parents are wiser in the choices. But that is impossible. In order to be wise you need have been on both sides of the situation. It is also said that its easier, and love comes with time. But that doesn’t always happen. In fact, the couple may never love each other. In modern marriages, you choose who to spend the rest of your life with. The person is not chosen for you. The person you choose to marry is usually by physical attraction you have for the person. But in other cases it’s about what they believe in. or actually love them. Unfortunately modern marriages also have a higher divorce rate than traditional marriages. But this is a small price to pay to have freedom. I believe in modern marriages. Although they have a higher divorce rate, if the marriage works out you are with the person you love for the rest of your life. Compared to being forced to be in love with someone.
