My Anti-Drug

My anti-drug is volleyball. Although it may not be a popular sport in many people's eyes, it is everything to me. Long practices, games, and tournaments keep me busy. They keep me off the streets, for I spend all my time inside a gym. I find nothing bad, and nothing good about myself when I am competing. It is just me, 5 other players, the court, and the opponent. Nothing else matters, not an F on a quiz, not an A in a test, it keeps me away from most of the bad things, especially the environment in which I live in. After volleyball has relieved any stress that I have, I can go back to working on any studies or something productive around the house. Essentially, it builds my self character on top of skill. My mother and father always say that it is better to be out the whole day and coming home late from doing something you love than being out at night smoking weed or getting into trouble. My anti drug keeps me from trouble and drugs.

An Inconvenient Truth

Watching this documentary, made me truly think about the actions we take in our everyday lives. The world is delicate and obviously we need to protect it. A scene that  touched me was Al Gore's adolescence. He lived on a ranch with perfect weather and lived with animals. That  may not soon be there if global warming issues continue. His flashback connects with his present days. He is running around Washington D.C and immediate resources are used everyday. Perhaps, to put an end to global warming, the amount of oil and gas should be reduced. He demonstrated the astonishing data that was collected from the past years to 2005. We can see drastic changes in the 21st century. Also, an interesting factor that stayed in the back of my mind as I watched this film is that it was only up to 2005. He mentioned a few things about temperatures increasing and highly decreasing. It is now 2015, ten years later. It is winter, temperatures have increased and in the east coast, temperatures have dropped, drastically.
