Definition Paragraph

There are many ways to define a slob. With my knowledge a slob is someone who doesn't take care of their body, leaves clutter everywhere they go, and never cleans up their mess. First off, the body is one of the most important things we need to keep clean. If we don't we will realize the results of our lazy actions. For example, when someone smells so bad no one wants to be around them. Not only does their body stink but all of their clothes stink too. Also, when you dont keep yourself clean your hair will become really greasy and/or nappy. People will notice these things so make sure you do to. Second, being cluttered can be a huge way for someone to realize the type of person you are. Such as, a car full of junk that no one ever uses and is just trash. Not only that but when your own room isnt clean or even the whole house being gross. Lastly, the worst thing you could do is to not clean up after yourself. It may seem you are quite clean until someone sees all the wrappers that are left everywhere. It is the same at the home. The laziness of people who dont ever do their dishes and they pile high because no one is willing to stop being a slob and take life seriously. Concluding, not very many people are respected when they act like a slob who doesnt know how to be an adult. So be the bigger person.

Compare and Contrast Paragraph

The differences between volleyball and soccer are huge. They do have their similarities but overall they can be separated in many ways. Three key differences are strategy, team work, and equipment used. First, volleyball has certain plans that help the team win the game; such as, rotations which introduce a way of making the other team think they are one place but really they are in another. When wanting to pass the ball from a hit the strategy is known as "reading the hitter." You can do this by looking at the opponents hitting arm and you will be able to tell where the ball will go. Although, soccer strategies usually have to do with kicking the ball ahead of the open person, not right next to them so the soccer ball will move faster down the field. Coaches will have plays that will make it easier for the forwards to get the ball in the goal. Next, is teamwork. With volleyball there is a lot of team cheering and touching each others butts. Whenever the team is doing good or bad there is a cheer and chant that inspires us to keep working hard. Also, the reason we touch one an others butts is a easy, fast way to say "good job!" Another way we show teamwork is by making eye-contact with the person and calling "mine" or "you go." It's something almost all volleyball teams do. In soccer, teamwork is thought of in a different way. Teammates still root each other on but its not as legit as volleyball cheers. Team members will look each other in the eye but talking isn't as required to win a game as it is for volleyball. At my school the volleyball players are way closer to each other than the soccer players. It all depends on where your at but volleyball requires more team bonding than soccer. Last but not least, is the equipment used. To play a real volleyball game you must have: two 10 foot poles, one net, one volleyball, two refs, and a score keeper. On the other hand, to play a real soccer game you must have: two goals, two refs, one soccer ball, and a score keeper. The similarities are that they both use a ball but they are different because the volleyball is lighter than the soccer ball. Therefore they are still different. Concluding, volleyball and soccer are great sports but you should consider the differences and similarities before seeking a spot on the team.

In a perfect world, my life would be different in these ways. First, my husband would have a full time job and I would be a stay at home mom watching our five kids. His job would be in the area so that if I ever need him he can just stop by really fast. Also, it will save us gas money that is always good to save. Second, is the amount of money we earn. The income would only be coming from my husband because I wont have a job and he will be making around 70,000 dollars a year to support our family. I dont want to be making too much money because money makes people greeding and I want our family to be one people can look at as sharing and caring. Lastly, we will be living in a friendly neighborhood that isnt ghetto and my kids arent scared to play outside. All of our street will be filled with kids on a little colda sack. Making sure we have a white picket fence surrounding our house so we can have a little family dog that everyone loves. This is the epitome of my perfect world.

Dear Mom,
I want to thank you for everything you do for me, especailly trusting me, cooking dinner, and talking to me. First, thank you for trusting me every weekend that I will do the right thing because I do. This past friday night when you let me stay out until 12am with all my buds. Im really glad you feel that I am responsible enough to be out for that long. All my other friends parents dont trust them. Also, letting me stay after school instead of coming home and doing chores because you know I will do them when I get home. Second, I love when I come home to the scrumptious smell of ready dinner. My favorite is tuna cassarole. I know that you dont always want to make dinner but i know that you care for me and want me to come home to food. I also love helping you when i can because you deserve it from all the hard work you do for me. Third, whenever I need someone to talk to your always there. I usually go to Liz (best friend) but when i cant your just as good to talk to. The advice you give me is way better than hers because you have already gone through everything I have and maybe even worse. Especailly with guys that I dont know what to do or say.

Process of Flirting

There are many different ways to flirt with the opposite gender. First, you need to know the name of the person and use it when your around them. It makes them feel special and they feel like you actually care. Next, give them complimants. Get to know them and say "hi". If you feel comfortable wink at them every so often and ask them when they can hangout. Then, when you hangout be a super clutz so they can help you when your hurt. Finally, thank them but dont be annoying about it or they'll not want to hangout anymore.

Exemplification Paragraph

My cousin Aria is a busy person. First of all, out of all the things she does she is a amazing singer. Not to long ago she got offered a scholarship to go sing at Brigham Young University. Of course she took the offer and now she is singing all day, everyday. Every time we go to see her shes either working or singing. Never a dole moment in her life right now but she acts like theres no stress at all. So she goes to work, school, and singing classes each day until she has to come home and do the same thing the next day. Soon she will be married and have babies to add to the weight. Its so fun to see her even when she is worn out because she never shows it and is never a party pooper. I've always wanted to be able to do what she does and acts like she acts. Its not that easy when it comes down to it but theres always that one person who makes the crowd positive.

Is the United States a health conscious nation?

First, the United States is filled with fast food restaurants at every corner. Research has shown that almost all of our nation eats unhealthily. A big example are school lunches. They have gotten better recently but they have always only had unhealthy choices. But now they actually have some salad or fruit instead. The US citizens see these everyday choices as normal and automatic. Concluding, the only way we can change this normality is if we be the example and change ourselves.
