Thousands of years ago, our ancestors were focused on surviving. Whether that meant from a horrible disease, a lion, or starvation. In today’s world, we happily do not have to worry about those things. We thank modern medicine, separation of dangerous wildlife from our homes, and grocery stores one every corner stocked to the brim. Many things have changed since then, but one thing that has existed since the existence of animals, stress. “Stress can lead to sadness or depression”, and “irritability
those who walk this planet in hopes of seeing icebergs float in the Arctic Ocean or those who hope to one day take a glance at the alluring, flamboyant colors that bounce off the coral reefs will be appalled by the abominable effects of global warming. This environmental crisis is caused by the human use of excessive of fossil fuels, which emit carbon emission into our atmosphere. This ultimately pollutes the air people breathe and rapidly increases global temperatures. It serves as a catalyst for strenuous
Peace and tranquillity is the essence of not only a rested mind and body but also a rested soul. Peace and Tranquillity can come in many forms for different people. Some see it in having a rich cup of steaming hot coffee in a tranquil room whilst engrossing in a romantic novel which is as thick as the encyclopaedia. Others find it in staying active such as going for a strenuous jog across a luscious park that is filled with the merry laughter of families spending quality time together which brings
hear the waves roll up the shore, and the smell of salt from the ocean filled the air. I looked up to see the sky covered in gloomy clouds; it looked like it was about to rain. I got an eerie feeling, like something bad would happen, but I ignored it. Every time I breathed in, I could taste the coldness of the air fill my lungs. I turned around looking at my footprints embedded in the sand, seeing them slowly disappear as the salty water washed over them. When I turned around, I saw a wooden door
What is it like to breathe underwater? Have you seen the underwater footage of divers, maybe filming sea life, and wondered what it might be like or how it would feel, to breather underwater? Well, I have, and I did. But of course it took some study and practice, drills as they were referred to. I remember the first day in the pool, we are gathered around along the wall of the pool and asked to swim across the length of the pool, were told to hold our breath underwater as long as we can. Our instructor
covered over half of my face, while an obnoxious tube on the side tangled in my fresh beach hair. Although the look appeared disheveled, I felt confident in my pink bikini and the black flippers that accented it. The sparkling waters lured me in, the ocean cool now rushing over my body from head to toe only to leave me in goosebumps, withdrawing me from the world. Aloof from earth itself, rather exploring the universe of the sea. I dove past the surface, assuring the snorkel is atop of the water level
Philip threw the first punch, then Irma the second knocking Philip farther out in the ocean, but using his speed, raced back and caught up with Irma. After he saw Irma was starting to flood Florida Philip- with all of his strength- threw a punch, kick, punch, punch, and another kick in the stomach knocking Irma out. He then finished the intense
haphazardly behind my ear. My eyes look up to see the mighty force in front of me: the ocean. The salt water stretches
screaming for oxygen, as my legs struggled, attempting to reach the speckled surface. I was drowning. It wasn’t loud, splashy, and dramatic, like the movies, my movements were more subtle and quiet, but I knew I was getting closer to death. I let the salty substance take over my body, until I felt a sleek, rubbery texture take me up to the surface, and I was suddenly filled with hope
your knowledge and cultural level. Devil’s bridge, located in Antigua is an awesome place to visit because it has a rich history and beautiful scenery. Antigua is an amazing Caribbean island located between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, near Puerto Rico. The island is full of history, it was named after the Church of Santa María la Antigua when Christopher Columbus discovered it. Later on, it was colonized by Britain; that is why their official language is English and they have that

The sun looks down, giving us a last show if his warm, glowing colours. Descending from his throne he glides elegantly towards the horizon, comfortably bedded for a long days rest. Sunless, the beach feels cold; a sharp icy breeze travels from across the ocean pushing itself past me, leaving me shivering from head to toe. The sea turns black like

Plastics are convenient and we use them everyday and these are the things that we find in the oceans, rivers and lakes. They are harmful to the earth as well as human health by directly intoxicating us with lead, cadmium and mercury. Plastic debris laced with harmful chemicals are often found inside of our marine life and can poison them. Plastic
Mondo Oowada kissed his lover’s forehead for the last time as he held his hand with a love unbearable to leave and a hatred for the world hammering into his shattered heart. ••• “Daiya, I’m off to grab some smokes!” Mondo called to his elder brother, frenzied with wanderlust only an experienced bike could handle. No goodbye came loud enough to be heard over the excessive revving of his engine, anticipating a night air waiting to envelop it with curiosity and an owner longing to *see*. The bike
As the sunlight gleamed through my bedroom window bright and early on Sunday, May 15, 1892, I layed in my bed thinking what it would be like if i could move anywhere i wanted too. Little did i know that today would be the day that I would go to Ellis Island and become an American citizen. All I had ever wanted was for my family to live in a society that it didn’t matter whether or not you were a Jew, or a gypsy, or even a homosexual, I wanted my family to live in a place where it didn’t matter what
It was six in the morning on a summer Sunday and Percival woke. No matter how much he wanted to sleep in, it never happened. Like clockwork, his eyes opened at the same time every morning, rain or shine, summer or winter, regardless of what time he’d gone to bed the previous night. He had grown used to it, and tried his best to get to bed early. However, that was a challenge, since his boyfriend, Gwaine, was a night owl. Gwaine was most productive later in the evening, and as a medical school student

Our forests are being cut down at an alarming rate, bearing enormous impacts on the health of earth. Our oceans and seas are being polluted and overfished. Our atmosphere is injected with increasing amounts of carbon dioxide, which hurts the entire planet. All of these problems can be traced to our vast, rapidly expanding population, which has stressed our

Ribbon There once was a ribbon. Her name was Ribbon, as plain as the decorative object that she was. Ribbon was very vain and liked to get up every morning from her place in the sewing basket full of odds and ends. Every morning, she would look into the small pink hand mirror that would be lying beside her in the sewing basket. She would see the cutest, most beautiful face in the whole world every morning and was delighted. Then Ribbon would reluctantly stop admiring herself and would begin to
Escape from Vietnam The other night I had a dream. I dreamed of a boy whom I had known a long time ago, but since then he had disappeared completely from my life. In my dream, I saw him sitting beside my bed and talking to me. He told me about the trip that he had taken with his parents, his two older brothers, and his sister when he was seven years old. He told me how his parents had been victimized by a man who knew about his parents’ desperate attempt to flee from Vietnam, so he took advantage
