Swimming...

I Stand in front of the dive board,

My hearts racing but I keep calm,

The whistle blows and up I go on the dive board,

"Bang!" the Gun goes off and I dive,all eyes fall on us,

I feel the cold water sting when I cut threw the water,

Holding back nothing I stroke forward,

breathing occasionally, I see the other swimmers,

They're caching up so I press harder,

I touch the wall then turn back,

Finally I make it back touching the wall,

"Click!" goes the timer with my score,

Pushing myself out of the water a cold wind hits me,

Grabbing my towel I hear the scores,

FIRST! place was me!,

I jump up and smile with glee,

My coach pats me on the back with praise,

Then I get ready for another race...

What will the world be like in a 100 years?...

Many People ask what would the World look like in 100 years from now? I think the world will be quite different from what it is now. I believe that their will be flying cars. Roads in the sky and rocket packs so people can fly. Also their might be cloning and new medical discoveries! The world will be in its golden age the top of its height! People will be able to take tours of space. New continents my appear expanding our world. New inventions allowing people to have a better life will be made. Such as talking robots that can do your work. robots that will change the world allowing us humans to be free of work. More jobs will rise with new buildings and businesses. Our worries now we will be laughing at. wondering why we ever worried about global warming or running out of gas for our cars. Hydrogen cars will be the new age with no pollution. our technology will be amazing. Computers will be better and smarter. Everything in a 100 years will be bigger and better!

Student Dropout: The Main Reasons I Think Students Drop Out of School for...

I think Students drop out of school because they think they can get by with out it. Most girl students where I live drop out of school because they get pregnant. Also because they are needed at home to take care of their cildren and help mom around the house. Guy's where I live drop out of school because they join a gang. Gangs are common hrre. Mainly because thier parents only speak and understand spanish. Also because thier parents came from mexico illegally. And since thier parents only speak spanish and don't understand english they can talk about gang stuff right in front of them and won't get caught or in trouble. its a big problem but no one here will take action.
