My Anti-Drug

My Anti-Drug would have to be playing soccer. Being able to run free and concentrate on one thing (winning) allows me to clear my mind. When I'm in the game all I can think about is not letting the other girls pass me. Playing soccer in the rain is the best. Being able to chase after someone and win the  ball from them and have the heavy rain drops hit your face is the best feeling. In the game I am not thinking about what homework assignment I have yet to complete or even what I have to do when I get home. Being in the game is my sanctuary because I feel safe and know what I am doing. I have been playing since I was about five years old and I have always enjoyed doing so. After a long day of school, I enjoy having practice at the end of the day.

What I Learned from An Inconvenient Truth

One of the parts that stood out to me from An Inconvenient Truth was the fact that the documentary includes before and after shots of environmental landscapes. Rivers, mountains, and even glaciers are photographed to show the great impact that we have had on them. The photographs allow us to see the effect we have had on the Earth and how we really can destroy it. Watching this documentary left me thinking about how this will affect us in the near future. If global warming is bad now, how will it be when we're older? Will Manhattan or the San Francisco Bay flood? What other places will no longer be around? After watching this documentary I felt upset because we are now suffering the consequences for past generations and continue to harm the Earth. Some people don't care much for what is to come.
