Responsibility

Sometimes, understanding who should take responsibility for a situation is hard to determine. Sometimes more than one person may have to take the responsibility for the mistake. One day my sister and I were watching my brother for my mom and he fell down the steps. He hurt his elbow and we were all terrified for more than one reason. We were not only afraid that he had gotten hurt but also that we would get in trouble with our mom. Instead of only one of us taking the blame for the accident we decided to just both take responsibility for what had happened.We both agreed that since we were both in charge and involved in what had happened, we should both take responsibility because it was the right thing to do. I think it was the right thing to do.

Who dat girl

     About two years ago, my friend Abby and I had the ambition to make a music video. Were were just two thirteen year old girls with a camera and a computer. We both had always been interested in music and cameras. When I say cameras, our areas of interest were anywhere from normal photography to videos with a green screen. One day we were bored so we searched through some of our favorite songs and found a fun and up beat song. We ended up filming for about an hour and got about forty five seconds of decent footage. One of the most difficult tasks we encountered was cutting and trimming our clips well enough to fit the audio clips and be in sync. It took us about an hour and a half and we finally had a finished product. It took some extreme time and effort, but we kept our minds to our project and ended up with a miny music video that we were both proud of.

Travelers

     One very famous explorer was Christopher Columbus. He made a very large impact in society. He traveled from Europe across the Atlantic ocean to later discover America (although Native Americans had already been here). Think about how the world would be if he had not explored and found America. It would be quite different. Maybe we would not even be here. It is hard to imagine it, but it was an important step in our development as a world.

     Some people may have devoted their lives to discovery because they may want to be different and live differently than the normal way. Some may be bored of living the same day over and over. When someone travels and make discoveries, every day is different and exciting because they never know what will happen, what they will see or what the next day hold. It must be about excitement. That would be the reason I would travel.

     Though traveling and making discoveries may be made out to to be fun and games, it is also hard because  one will have to make sacrifices. A main sacrifice would be leaving your family and friends behind as you leave. Although it depends on how long one may be leaving for. Sometimes, one could miss major times in their loved ones lives while they are out doing what they want. If it is something that someone wants enough, they should look over what they have to sacrifice and look at the positive outcomes.
