My Anti Drug

  My anti drug, without a doubt, would have to be weightlifting. Lifting weights is a good anti drug for me because when I get angry I can release that anger on the weights. The anger motivates me to push my limits until I have exerted every bit of anger out of me. At the end of the day not only would I have done something beneficial to my health, but I will also be more mentally stable. However, when I am unable to go and lift weights, my other anti drug would have to be playing video games. When I am playing, I purposely immerse myself into the game because I want to go away from the real world for a period of time. That way I can forget any problems that I may have and thus put myself in a happier place. Additionally, the fact that while I'm playing, my friends are also playing along with me so we go back and forth making each other laugh.

Inconvenient Truth

  What I learned from an Inconvenient Truth, is that our Earth is facing climate changes which can possibly change the surface of the Earth. For example, the glaciers in the north pole are melting due to the increase of the Earth's temperature. If the glaciers in the north pole completely melt than the ocean level will rise about 20 feet. This may not seem like such a big deal; however, when taken into perspective this change in sea level can be disastrous for both people and cities around the world. For example, if the sea level were to rise 20 feet then the memorial for the World Trade Center would be completely submerged underwater. In addition to that, cities that are near the shores, such as San Francisco, would face a great deal of flooding. However, Norway, a country that is currently below sea level would be facing the most danger. Despite that, the most terrifying thing about the documentary, is the fact that the information presented in the documentary was from the year 2005. It is now 2015 and who knows how much further harm we may have caused to the planet.
