Essay #10

 Should the internet be censored by parents? This is a question that many are currently asking, due to the increasing amount of pornography and illegal activity now found on the Web. The Internet allows anyone from anywhere to share all types of information about themselves and others. Although many believe censoring the internet is a violation to the first amendment, I personally believe that the Internet should be censored by parents because there are a variety of websites that have graphics that should not be viewed by minors.

 Pornography is the main reason why I say the internet should be censored. It is not only bad and unhealthy for minors, but also for married couples as well. Once pornography appeared on the internet, its negativity exploded so quickly that it was able to mess with the minds of any viewer who watched it. It seemed like one day there were normal educational sites and a few personal home pages, and the next there was pornography everywhere. It is getting as bad as to where it is nearly impossible to perform a search in any search engine without running into hundreds of sex sites. It didn't seem to matter what the search was about, the same kind of sites were returned.

 So to answer the question "should the internet be censored by parents," I think yes. By censoring the internet from minors, we would limit the risk of children knowing and viewing what sex looks like before their own parents can even explain the real meaning of sexual intercourse.

The time I drowned..

My personal memory of swimming is the time I fell into the swimming pool and drowned. I was three years old when it happened . I almost died but my dad jumped in and saved my life.

I remember I was so scared after that experience that I was afraid to go near a pool for awhile. That experience was one of the worst moments of my life. Even though this event took place almost thirteen years ago, I still remember that day like it happened yesterday. I feel that it’s a miracle I survived the ordeal because if my dad wasn’t outside at the time, I probably wouldn’t be here today. I feel grateful that I survived and I also learned a great life lesson from it.

I learned to always watch out for your surroundings around you and always be careful whenever you are doing something. I say that because the whole ordeal happened because it was my fault. It happened when I was running around the pool for some reason and then I slipped in it. Now whenever I’m around a pool I don’t run around it. And if I do I do it around the seven feet or below area.

Now I actually loves to go to pools. I’m mostly over the experience but I still remember it from time to time. But overall I don’t let the ordeal really affect my life anymore.

The young person I see in my mom...

The Yong Person I see in my mom is that of a young woman in a twenty year old mindset in a fifty three year old body. I say my mom is still a young person even though she really isn’t because she acts like it. She still be going out and shopping for hours, she buy clothes that she would buy if she was still in her twenties. But I still love her and will forever love her till the day I die.

My mom still be having fun and is still happy at her age and that’s all you can really ask for. She’s earned the right in a since to do whatever she wants to do and do it in whatever way she pleases. I feel if you have been through all the stuff she’s been through and you have made to live past fifty that you are able to live your life how you want even if it means acting like a age your not.

And plus I feel forever love her because she has raised me most of my life by herself and I’m forever indebted to her for that because she’s the main reason I’m not in the streets in some gang or something. She’s the reason I’m such a gentleman as I am and a respectable man that I am. That’s why I love my mom and the young person that still lives within her.

College after highschool?

If you were to ever ask me if a person should go to college right after high school I would say that it depends on the individual themselves. I would say that because first of all some people want to get college over with as soon as possible and others want to take a break for awhile before they dedicate themselves to college. And some people don’t want to go to college altogether.

In my own opinion of what I would do is go right after high school because I know I wouldn’t go back if I took an extended break. I would go as soon as I got out of high school because the information you learned school wise would still be fresh in your mind and would make college work sort of easier. Other than taking a break and losing some of the information then you would be screwed and have to relearn some of the information. I think going early would be good because you would be able to enjoy the college life style while your still young instead of putting off college and coming back probably at an older age. That’s how I feel in my opinion about going early to college. And if you get that scholarship then you basically have to go right after high school because everything is free and you really have don’t have to pay for anything.

Where plans become necessary...

One situation to where changing plans becomes necessary is when you plan to go on a trip, you and your friend plan to go to universal studios. You plan out what your going to buy, wear, and what rides your going to get on. You plan it a week before on a Friday after school. You and some friends plan to take the bus to universal studios and to get picked up by you parents to stay at the theme park more longer. So after school you and a bunch of friends ride the bus to universal studios, when you get there you do everything as planned. Until in the middle of the trip your mother calls and says that you have to leave early because they can't come and get you because the car broke down. So your furious because now you have to leave early and take the bus home. So you tell your friends and they leave with you. When you get home you guys talk and plan another day but hopefully this time you pray that your plans work out the right way.

conveniecnces changes a person's life

I think one person could convince some one to do something or change something that could affect a person's life. I think this because I've seeen it happen. It could happen to a person for better or worse . It could affect someone's life for the better by convincing someone to do something good that could benefit them in life. Also it could affect someone's life for the worst because you could try to convince them to do something that could harm their life and put them in the line of death. So i mean conveniences could be good as wellas being bad, but it's up to us to take the convince or not.

Ideal Vacation...

My vision of an ideal vacation is where you take the time out of work to go out to a beautiful tropical place for at least a week. A whole 7 days of the week. A ideal vacation place is a place where you know no one but the people you are with on your vacation or if your by yourself but with someone is better. Both you and your company rent a hotel with a beautiful view and you go sight seeing, exploring and shopping. While doing all of this you and your company take pictures and try new things. On one of your vacation day you take a trip to a very peaceful place and you relax your mind away from all the stress in your life. All of this is what to me is known as an ideal vacation.
