My Most Prized Possession – Penny Skateboard

I obsessed over Penny skateboards for a about four months before I was finally able to buy one from the Penny board website. I first saw the beautiful plastic skateboard while I was at my grandmother’s house for Christmas on one of my favorite Youtube stars, Jenn McCallister’s, Instagram. Unfortunately, for me it was already Christmas so there was no way that someone could buy this board for me. The entire time I was at my grandmother’s house I was on my laptop looking at pictures and videos of people using these skateboards and I was completely in love. After four months of this I finally started saving up my money from my job at the snow cone stand so that I could buy my own Penny skateboard. After a few weeks of working I ordered my first customized Penny “Nickel” skateboard for one hundred and forty dollars. It was perfect, I was twenty-seven inches long, seven inches wide, it had a blue deck with a waffle pattern, purple wheels, blue and green trucks, white bolts, and Abec 7 bearings, and the bottom of the board was marked with Penny’s original motto, “Since Forever.” When my customized nickel board arrived I could not wait to try it out, and when I finally did the experience was almost magical. The board was so smooth and responsive that I could just think about turning and the board would turn to wherever I wanted it to go. This skateboard’s ride is so smooth that it ruins every other skateboards for whoever rides it, and I truly believe it’s the best skateboard on the market. This board hardly ever leaves my sight and my four month obsession and the hard work I had to do to achieve it definitely makes my Penny skateboard my most prized possession.

Why are Animal Dissections Used in Schools?

I believe that animal dissections are used in schools because it help students understand the anatomy of animals. By dissecting certain animals, students learn what functions and what systems animal parts belong to. It enables the student to be able to identify major organs of an animal and which way it helps the animal to survive. That is my believe on why animal dissections are used in schools.

Mount Bromo

Mount Bromo is one of the most beautiful and most famous volcanoes in Indonesia. It is located in Tengger, in East Java. It was created following an enormous eruption. The eruption created a huge caldera. A caldera is a large volcanic crater, typically one formed by a major eruption leading to the collapse of the mouth of the volcano. This caldera created the active volcano Mount Bromo and the non-active volcano Mount Batok. In a few million years I predict that Mount Bromo will become a much bigger volcano. Since Mount Bromo is an active volcano whenever it erupts the magma will add onto the volcano.

My Opinion of how the Earth was Created.

In my opinion God created everything. The theory that everything happened with a big bang doesn’t make much sense. A random big bang somewhere out in space doesn’t explain how humans, animals, or much of anything else was created. God wanted there to be a world, so he created the world. I can’t explain how He did this because He has the power to do many things that people can’t understand. To back up my theory, in Genesis 1:1 it states that God created the Heavens and the Earth.
Other people may believe differently, but in my mind God will always be the creator of Earth.

What Happens in a Chemical Reaction

In a chemical reaction, molecules and atoms split, swap, or decompose structures. Chemical reactions can also cause molecules and atoms to combine with other compounds and form an entirely new substance. Most chemical reactions occur because of added energy, which can be hot or cold. For example, cooking is a chemical reaction. Also when you freeze water to make ice cubes its a chemical reaction. The components of the ice are the same, but you create an entirely different substance.

Importance of Lab Safety/Equipment

It is important to know lab safety, because if you didn’t know how to be safe while using lab equipment you may hurt yourself.  Some experiments involve fire,  electrical wires, or dangerous chemicals, and without proper care you could be burned, shocked, or your skin could be damaged from the chemicals. It is also important to know the equipment you are using, so you wont break, or damage the equipment. Knowing lab safety is to ensure that you will be safe in the science lab. Without it many things would go wrong.

Having Fun And Breaking Bones

One thing you should never do in life is ride Heeleys in Wal-Mart. Last time I did that I ended up breaking my ankle. For seven months I was on crutches and had a big black boot on up to my knee. It was like that through Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve, Valentines Day, Saint Patrick’s Day, Easter, and then the rest of May.

I was in 4thgrade and it was the weekend before Thanksgiving. I was ready to finally get a pair of Heeleys. My mom and I went to the mall and I found a pair that I liked, we bought them and I was soon riding around the store. After that we went to Wal-Mart, my mom went off to get the things we needed while I rode up and down the aisles. On my way to find her and go home my attention went on something else and little did I see the big box of Christmas decorations in the middle of the aisle. I tried to avoid it, but it was too late I slipped and rolled my ankle on the box. The pain in my left ankle was soaring up through out my leg. My mom took me home and we iced my ankle.

The next day my parents took me to the Emergency Room. After a long wait the nurse took me in to get a few X-rays, and then after another long wait we got the news. I had broken my ankle. It probably wouldn’t have been that bad if I hadn’t broken it near my growth plate. It ended up that my growth plate had moved a millimeter out of place and it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it was. I ended up missing most of the basketball season and many fun activities, but it taught me to be more careful and think about what I’m about to do

That’s why you should never ride Heeleys in Wal-Mart. I had to learn the hard way.

The Wonderful Sense

It would be terrible to lose your sense of sight. You couldn’t play on your iPod or watch T.V. You couldn’t be involved in almost any activities. While your friends are out playing a game of softball or basketball, you would have to stay at home, or just sit and wait until their finished.

What if you just woke up one day and you’re blind. You would have to walk with a cane or a Seeing Eye dog. It would be so easy to walk into the streets or fall down and hurt yourself. It would be hard to not being able to see your friends or even your own family members. You would not be able to see all the wonders of the world. You would have to rely on people to do daily things, like getting dressed, doing homework, and even getting around your own house. That’s why I would never want to lose my sense of sight.
