The Long Term Effect of-Why Did Yor Choose Your Major
 
Money now is what everyone needs to servive in the world and education is the only way you can get it. Education is so impotant and epencive!!! Think of how you want all thoese cars and houese, how do you thing your going to pay for them? I asked this to some of my younger family member and they didnt know how to answer the question. I ues to think that I had the world in the palm of my hand and its true. From the very second a child is born they have choieses to make and its up to them to make the right ones. Even if someone has a bad backround, they have to take their life into their own hands. With drive, and determination that will give a person the greatest gift in the world, the gift is their life that is as easy as breathing. The long term effect is the choices you make in your life to make it simple for you, and no one can take that away from you.

"Its That Time Of Year!!!"

For some students it's time for them to choose a major in college. These are some questions I asked students at Wayne State University.  What major did you choose? Why did you choose it? Are the classes your taking what you expected? Some students choses it after their major after their first two years or in the middle of their second or third year of college.  If it were me I would choose my major in the beginning of my second year, because you have to go through general math, science, social studies, and language arts for the first year if college. Hopefully when a person chooses their major is they know what they want to do for a life time. Some people do other things from what they studied. It's been said that its's always good to be able to do more than one thing, career basis. I truely believe that. What would you do?

The short term effects for-Why Did You Choose Your Major.

It's been told people do other things career wise that had nothing to do what they went to college for. Some people think that the may be better to do something else that they like to do and turn to what they went to college for to fall back on, others tend to do what they were taught to do. For example if you wanted to be an artist you would take art, and sculpting classes not medical classes.  People do things differently than other, that makes life better or easier for them. In some interviews at Wayne State University I asked them what they wanted to be and why they chose their major. Most said they wanted to be either a nurse, doctor, or a lawyer, but they may want to do other things later in life. Is there a main reason why they said those things? I'll tell you the answer, its money, to suvive in this world you have to have money to provivd for yourself. The short effect it that you will have to haave a open mind to what they really want in life.

Atlantis Johnson "Succeeding through Cheating "

                                                   Turning on to Cheating Street

   Kids, I will come around and check your homework in about five minutes. Hey, hey Justin did you do last nights homework? Yea bro why, you need it or something? Yea, can I see it please? Yea here you go. Thanks. This is a conversation of students cheating. As the teacher walks around the room the boy Demar gets his homework done and gives its back to Justin before the teacher knows it. Some people wonder why do students cheat. What are the negative effects? What are the positive effects if there are any? What are the effects of the negative effects? Well, in this paper we will get to answer these questions.

                                                     Riding Down Cheating Street

   What could possibly cause students to cheat? Some reasons that could cause students to cheat could be that they don't understand the work and are to scared and embarrassed to ask because they may be made out as dumb and/or made fun of. Another reason might be that the student is lazy. A lot of students cheat because of the pressure. The pressure could be from their parents pressuring to do well in school and the student can't fully meet their parents expectations and they know someone ho can so they cheat to make their parents happy.

                                    Road of Success turn right, Road of Failure turn left

    Cheating will help you get a good grade, but it will NOT help you get a good understanding of the work. When you cheat you don't think of what will happen down the road, but a lot could happen, you could turn left on to the road of failure which is a very bumpy road and you can blow a tire and be stranded without any help. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that cheating will get you no where but somewhere without any help. For example, You can make it into college but when you get there you really wouldn't understand the work because you copied off someone else's instead of actually trying to understand it, so you don't know how to do the work. If you don't know how to do the work it will be very hard on you (especially because you're in college), and you could fail the class, if you fail majority of your classes you could be kicked out of college or you can even make the decision to drop out. When you make a u-turn and see how you turned left down the road of failure instead or turning right down the road of success, you think to yourself that you never thought that all of this could happen to you.

                                                        Dead End Ahead NO U-Turns Allowed

     If you hit a dead end and you can't turn back to correct what you have done wrong then you are in for a very bumpy bumpy ride. If you drop out of college or get kicked out of college either way it goes life will not be the best for you. Due to your actions you have no where to go no one to turn to and no way you could go back and   make it all right in time. Since you can't correct what you did you are stuck working at McDonalds flipping burgers, frying fries, and saying "order 47 is ready, order 47 is ready". Since you work at a place where you don't get paid much you're stuck living at a place that's not much. You always dreamed of living in a big house with a husband/wife and some kids, but what man/woman wants a man/woman who can't do anything with their life. So you can end up working at job that has something to do with bagging bags or cooking fast food, which is really nothing, so at the end of the day it really makes you and your life a big nothing.

                                                      Before You Get On The Road

   What, I'm trying to really explain and make clear to you is that if you cheat you might be succeeding at the moment, but when you actually start traveling down the road you are going to be stuck  at a dead end. Once you hit this dead end you can't move through it and you can't turn around. So, before you ride down cheating street and turn on to the road of failure just remember this, cheating gets you NOWHERE, but doing your work on your own gets you SOMEWHERE.

Bullying and Suicidal
"Hey! Did you see what she posted on twitter and facebook about you!!??" Things like that happen everyday. Do to it, over 20,000 people commit suicide everyday over cyber bullying and just regular bullying. People say that words doesn't hurt a lot of people, but 9x out of 10...people DIE because of it. They take it to heart and they become fed up with all of the bullying and commit suicide to stop it. Visualize your best friend being cyber bullied and they committed suicide...How would you feel? I bet you would be crushed and sobbing daily. Now, think of yourself as another person being bullied. Wouldn't you want that person to stop? Most likely, your answer is yes. Continue reading and find out how cyber bullying and just bullying can affect people.

Friends, Nieces, Nephews, Cousins, etc.....Lose their lives everyday because of people bullying them. Some things people put on facebook and twitter are hurtful things. People who bully thinks it's funny, but others thinks it's hurtful. Bullies use swear words, and talk about others in a horrible way. Here is a conversation about a person being bullied:

Bully: "Hey you! Whatcha doin'?"
Victim: "N-nothing, just going to class."
Bully: "Oh, I been hearing things that you been talking about me and my friends...Is that true?"
Victim: "N-no...I need to go now."
*Victim walks away*
Bully: "HEY! I WASN'T DONE TALKING TO YOU!"
*Bully starts sprinting towards the Victim*
*Bully begins to punch, kick, and push the Victim*
Five days later...
*Victim arrives at school and the Bully sits and stare*
Bully: (Laughs) "Look at him"
Victim: "Shut up!"
Bully: "What was that?!"
Victim: "I said SHUT UP!"
*Victim runs*
*Bully stabs Victim*
On facebook and twitter....
*Bully types* "LMAO! I beat the h*ll out of him!"

Later on, the victim grew tired of all the bullying, and decided to commit suicide. He hung himself from his ceiling fan. His mother called for him....No reply.....So she walked into his room and dropped to her knees in tears. The fear of observing her son dead over bullying. From that day on, the bully was charged as assault and cyber bullying.

These things happen EVERYDAY! Regular bullying is the same as cyber bullying...But doing them both to one person....that's going OVERBOARD! Imagine, you are a person being bullied...how would you feel if you were bullied everyday at school and on the internet, where EVERYONE can see? I bet you won't like it... That's how other people feel when they are bullied. Running your car into a lake, cutting your main vein, hanging yourself, stabbing yourself....Those are all results of bullying. Some people actually went to jail for bullying people. So, stop the bullying and respect each others.

"Face Stuffer!!"
Imagine this:
     Your watching the saddest soap opra that you would never usually watch, all alone. Stuffing your face with ice cream, cake, candy, pizza and a bunch of other starches and junk foods. Your already 245 pounds and only 23 years old! You know that your a wreck and that you should get back up on your feet, but the weight isn't letting you. Oh, and you should get back up on your feet, as in get your life back together. If you know what's best, why do you continue eating? Is it because your mad or depressed about something? Did a tragic event occur recently in your life? What can be a result/effect of this? 
     What can be a cause of this sad, soap opra food fest? There are many causes of this, but here's one. LOVE! It's the cause of most bad endings. Some people fall too hard for one person  and get their feelings hurt in the long run. Sometimes eating for comfort is the only way they can grieve from a situation. Love does a lot of things and for people who love to eat, they do it to make themself feel good about the situation. They use food as a way to get away from the pain.
     There are also effects that come from eating for comfort. Here are some immediate effects of this: 
             1.Even lower self esteem than you had before.            
             2. Gain more weight than you have before.          
             3. Lose interest in many hobbies you may have had     
             4. Cry your eyes out every chance you can get   
             5. Go through depression.
                                                         and many more.
      Here are some long-term effects.
             1. Obesity
             2. Worst stage of depression
             3. Internal problems
             4. Diabetes
             5. High-blood pressure
             6. Death
Some good effects are that they realize how they've changed and correct it/ attempt to correct it as soon as possible.

"SPOTLIGHT: SETTING A BAD EXAMPLE"

A large crowd swarms the limousine like buzzing flies. Shouts fill the air of those that who beg to be noticed and others of those interested in hearing the latest gossip. Security guards work fiercely to detain the oncoming mob. Cameras flash, desperate to catch a glimpse of the darkened silhouette through the tinted windows. The limousine pulls away from the determined paparazzi, speeding down the street into the night, leaving the injured in it's wake in order to protect it's precious cargo.

What causes people to become so infatuated with a celebrity? What makes celebrities famous? We as people- as humans, always want to be noticed. When it comes to celebrities, regular people like to feel as though they can relate to that person. These people often look at the celebrity as of someone that's down to earth, yet as someone that's special and abnormal at the same time. We need to understand that this is too much to expect of one person. That they are only human. The way celebrities are portrayed can also effect how a regular person sees themselves. For example, girls might watch female celebrities on the television and think that that's how a young lady should behave. Stereotypes can damage young children's self esteem and make them feel inferior if they don't look, or act the same way as the people they see on T.V. 

Celebrities are just like regular people, they are only stuck in the unforgiving spotlight of fame. Maybe we are so interested in celebrities because of what we think we know about them. Maybe because we want to be them. Being famous- being a celebrity, is every kid's dream. But Hollywood is not the land of milk and honey. In the life of fame, celebrities are forced to wear a mask and hide their true identities from the world. We spend our time reaching for the dream of fame and fortune, but sadly we don't find this out until it's too late. By then the famous are swallowed up into a cruel world of spotlight and scathing criticism. In the world of fame, the old are replaced by the new. The regular admire, and the famous stare back, unseeing through a mask.

"Why You Lying?"

Paragraph 1- THE EVENT:
                  Would you lie to go to a party? Maybe a you wanted to go to a party. A girl named Trish, wanted to go to a party. so she lied to her parents. She told them she was sick, so she'd have to miss the two day trip to the bahamas. Trish didn't worry, because her parents fell for her wicked ways (haha). Trish was on her way, laughing oh so jolly to herself on the way to the party. "Well, well Trish Jakov, isnt your family on a cruise?" a business woman said eyeing her in the street. "Not yet" she mumbled, trying to duck her head. Wendy was Trish Dad's co-worker in the office. Of course she knew she envied the Jakov family, always getting promotions and vacations. Wendy whipped out her blow-out flip phone, and pressed one digit. Trish panicked and tried to make excuses. "-ww-wWait! they said i couldn't go, b-because i had bad grades." Wendy snickered. "You're just like your father, a bad liar." the voice on the other line spoke,- "Ah yes Kris Jakov, your daughter is here not at home..." the voice on the other line grew louder,and spoke more quickly. Trish gulped. "Oh great." she sighed.

   Squeak! As she is opening her dresser stuffing her clothes in a duffel bag. Boom! As she  closes the drawers on her dresser . She tries to keep quite as she opens the window, squeak! She climbs out of the window in her room she tries to keep quite but she lets go of the window and it slams shut very loudly. She puts her duffel bag over her shoulder, and run across the lawn then into the street, then she makes her way over a big dark alley so that when her parents come to see what the noise was they wouldn't see her outside. "Ashley, Ashley, Ashley where are you" her parents cry out into the darkness of the night. This is a scene where a girl runs away from home and her parents cry out for her. Many ask why do kids run away from home. Well, kids don't just get up decide they are going to run away 
     Everyday its a suicide commited by a teen or child to themselves! I think this is terrible. Why would someone want many people to be sad and depressed, because of their death? I cant see myself commiting suicide to myself. Evenif i'm going through struggles or whatever the case may be. I wonder what the real reason behind teens and children commiting suicide to themselves. What causes them to do such a thing? What is the effect or turnout? 

      I've heard of many stories that involves child and teen suicide. I have seen it in books, movies

Job Lost


Dad walks in the kitchen sits at the kitchen table and begins to look at his family.He eats his dinner real slow as if he is worried about something.

"Are you okay honey,"mom asked.

"No I am not okay I just figure out that I'm going to be layed off a little while,"Dad replied.

Their are lots of parents in the United States that get layed off.Those parents don't even know when it's coming.Most of parents don't even know how to tell their families. 

There are lots of parents that are getting layed off and losing their jobs.Mostly factory workers are getting layed off because of the money lost in the company.Car factory workers get money lost because of their are no cars getting bought because of economy problems.If there is no cars getting bought then the factory is losing money because of the cars not being bought then ow can they repalce the money from the materials of buying the car.There is 30% of the United States have been layed off.That means most families can't take care of their family.Those are making families upset and are not getting taking cared of.This is one of my causes of parents losing their jobs.

The short term effect is that employees can't believe that their loosing their jobs.Then the employees are very stress out and are worried about how to provide for their family.The parents begin to become stress out,which makes their children and family worried about them or very concern.Some employees begin to go on strike.For example,the Detroit school buses went on strike.There were also Detroit Public Schools teachers went on strike.to be statical their about 10000 Detroit Public Schools teachers on strike.Those are some short term effects from parents losing their jobs.

Lastly,their is some long term effects from parents that lose their jobs.One long term effect is that parents wouldn't be able to take care of their kids/children.They also couldn't pay their bills and their rent.Another example is when DPS teachers decide not to come back to their jobs then who will teach the students.That would put the teachers out of business.Then kids will not have any education.Then they wouldn't be able to go to college or graduate from high school.In conclusion,those are some causes and effects from parents losing their jobs.

"Puff Puff Pass;RE PASS"


     "Hey man!, smoke this, Just take a lil puff, it wont hurt!" "Aye bro,roll me a joint real quick". While rolling his joint i figured i should take a little puff of it. As i inhaled i felt the smoke travel through my body at an increasing pace. My body quivered and I got a little dizzy from the smell and the sight of the smoke. I took a few more puffs, i couldn't stop. It was addicting. I smoked it all down, all the way to the end. I got high as a kite, I felt like I couldn't get any higher.


When it first happened


     Everyone around me was smoking,rolling a joint or drinking, some people were even doing all three. I felt like i HAD to fit in. Even though I knew I wasn't "bout this life". I would consider every single person sitting in that room a "certified thug", the sight of them sent a chill up and down my spine. I didn't want them to think of me as a "goody two shoe" I had to do this.

What might've happened


     Smoking has its effects, some long term,some short term; some temporary, some permanent. One short term effect is an addiction. Some people get heavily addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes, or the ingredients in weed, marijuana or whatever they smoke. This can become serious and might even turn into a long term effect like becoming a drug dealer or better yet a crackhead! This could even make you have to go to rehab or a halfway house.

This could get bad

     A long term effect in the worst case scenario is lung cancer! Lung cancer is caused by you smoking too much and the tar builds up on your lungs. This could cause you to die faster than your normally.... or to have very bad lungs and have to wear a oxygen tank. If you die from lung cancer that's a extra long term effect 'cause when you die you never come back.

Moving to a new place or city


(kids screaming) and having fun. Look at all those kids playing on the play ground with their friends sitting here on the swing I don't know anybody here. I'm so lonely I miss my hometown, I left all my friends and family. I feel unwanted here. Have you ever had to find new friends? I will be talking about the effects of moving to a new place or town.


The cause of moving could be because of your mom and dad getting a divorce and your mom want you to stay with her. Image if your mom and dad got a divorce 1 year ago. Your mom met this new guy that live in Atlanta Georgia. She wants to go live with him, and you guys live in New York with all your friend s and love one's. You go to a wonderful school, you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend and they don't want you to leave them. Well you have to because your mom don't want you to live with your dad. so you have to move to another place, you don't know anybody there and you will have to make new friends. and it want feel the same any more. 



The first effect of moving to a new town or city is your education. For example I go to a middle school in Detroit. And if my parents or parent move to like a New York or something. I wouldn't be on the same level as the other kids. The kids at the new school i will attend will not be use to seeing me. I will have to meet new people.
