My Vacation Turn Into A Nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!

The weather was blazing hot, but the ocean wave cool us down. The first day we got there we wanted to go adventure around town. I wanted to go to sleep after enjoying the beach, but little did I know my friends will bring guys back to the hotel room. They were very intoxicated and I woke up to hear a group of people laughing and playing music. I was so mad and a little frighten because they just met this boys. Room service came to knock on the door and told us “turn the music down or leave." I'm trying to talk some sense into my friends, but they really not understanding me because they were drunk. Then, I asked the boys how did they meet my friends, and they said at a bar. I politely ask them to leave, but they refused because my friends promise them that they would give them one hundred dollars to take them around town plus put gas in their car. I told the boys they might had made a mistake because they spent all their money earlier. So, I apologize to them and thought they would leave, but again the boys asked for the money. I refused to give them any money, and then the boys pull out a gun. At that moment I just wanted to pray, but was so scared to move. I gave them the money and they left. The next morning my friends were clueless about what happen the day before, so when I told them they did not believe me. They do not remember bringing back any guys, but then I show them my purse and was empty with no money, and then they believed me. I was relief that everyone was okay, but still upset about us being broke. So, I called my boyfriend and he sent us some money. At the end we did have fun, but we could have been hurt by those boys next time they know not to drink so much.

Global Warming

The climate is changing. The earth is warming up, and there is now overwhelming scientific evidence that it is happening, and human-induced. Global warming on the increase and species and their habitats on the decrease, chances for ecosystems to adapt naturally are diminishing. Many People do agree that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet. The source from New York Times article Global Warming states "On the one hand, warnings from the scientific community are becoming louder, as an increasing body of science points to rising dangers from the ongoing buildup of human-related greenhouse gases — produced mainly by the burning of fossil fuels and forests. On the other, the technological, economic and political issues that have to be resolved before a concerted worldwide effort to reduce emissions can begin have gotten no simpler, particularly in the face of a global economic slowdown." Global warming will affect human race by combination of violent storms, rapid changes in local climates, disruption of the water cycle and extinction of plants and animals will probably cause local food shortages. Global warming can change the shift of the climate. For example, it will change worldwide weather patterns, leading to droughts in some areas and flooding in others. I hope as human we will take this issue more seriously and try to do the best to save our PLANET.

New Georgia LAW!!!

Banned in Georgia ALL texting while driving and also cell phone use by drivers under 18 years old. I like the idea because cell phones can be a distraction while driving. The radio and people in the car may cause enough distractions let along cell phone usage. I feel sorry for teenagers with permits first they do not get to drive alone plus they cannot drive pass a certain time, and now they cannot use cell phones. Many kids will probably wait until 18 years old to get a driver license. I can text without looking so would I get a ticket because I'm texting, but also making sure that my eyes is on the road? Banning cell phones can help avoid a lot of car accidents, but what about a parent running late to pick their child up and need to use the phone to informed the school on what's going on should the parent have to pull over when they already running late? I do think a lot peope will annoyed this law, but I bet the ticket it cost a lot so people will learn a lesson. So what's next no eating while driving because someone might have look down to pick up the food? The law can go into effect, but that's not going to change the problem it will just be fewer car accidents on the road.
