My Anti Drug

My Anti Drug is playing football and listening to music. Playing football helps a lot to relieve stress. Whenever I have a bad day or i feel stressed out, I look forward to playing football so much. Playing football clears my mind entirely and makes me care about nothing else. But football is not a year-round sport so I am not always able to rely on that. What I would say helps me the most is listening to music because I can listen to it any time I want. Music helps me because I can relate to what some artist went through as a child and it helps me realize that they went through so I can do it too. Some artist even went through worst stuff so it makes me realize like why am i complaining about this when someone has had it worst and has made it through that adversity. And like football, music helps to clear my mind as well. Also, sometimes when I sing to a song (usually rap) and it's just showing anger, it helps me relieve some of the stress I have bottled up inside of me.

An Inconvenient Truth

I personally loved this documentary by Al Gore. I've always had some interest in global warming but never knew much about it and why it was such a big deal, but Al Gore made me realize why this climate change is very important. I recall Gore showing the graph where the CO2 levels in the atmosphere had never passed 300 and he then showed how we are far above the 300 mark and the CO2 level are still expected to rise even higher. This stuck out to me the most because of the impact this situation will cause if it is not fixed. If the continues, the atmosphere will thicken and the earth will become extremely hot cause glaciers and land where there is only ice to melt. With so much melting, the sea levels will rise and the outer parts of our countries land will be covered in water such as Florida.  This really stuck out to me because it will take the life of millions of people who live in these places. Also, I've always wanted to live in Florida because it's such a beautiful place and there are great sites there as well, and to hear that parts of Florida will be covered in water just makes me wonder if I actually want to live in Florida now. Also, with the atmosphere getting thicker, we wont be able to live on Earth anymore because it wont be in living condition, it will get too hot and us humans wont be able to take it. With the Earth having no more humans, we will have just ended the entire humanity and as far as we know, we will have ended life in the whole universe.
