Roller Coaster
In the agonizing heat I stand in a queu that seems to never end, waiting for a chance to expirience the thrill. As I see the end of the queu getting ever closer I feel the relief. When I get on the coaster I can feel the fear of the passengers as we enter the unknown, the coaster starts of smoothly like a calm ride but as we head upwards I can feel my heart beeting faster and faster till it sounds like a drum and then....... my heart stops as we rocket downwards, the screaming of both men and women are deafining while my hair is being pulled back like a hand was holding on to it. I can feel my face being forced backwards, my mouth widning and my eye balls flatnig. Then out of nowhere the coaster slows down, I turn around and we're no longer going down hill, with the coaster still moving at high speeds everything around me seems like blur, Ican see ahead of us a turn and as we hit it I can hear the wheels against the metal roaring like a lion while sparks fly. After constant turns I can finaly see the end, I think I'm rielfed but I know I wish it go on for longer and then BANG!!! Out of nowhere my wish comes true and we fall in too a dark steep tunnel. It's impossible to see but after the screaming you can hear the sounds of bats echoing arond the tunnel in the pitch silence. The end is near you can sence it the smell of pure air, the sound of people chating without stop and the bright beam of light of a hot summer day. After the expirience I can't help and say "I want to go again".

I Think the phrase ”Necessity is the mother of invention” means that: most inventions were made because people needed them to make like easier on them, like the cotton gin it made removing cotton seeds easier, quicker and more efficient. Other inventions related to the phrase is the light bulb that Thomas Alba Edison made to help himself and everyone else see in the dark which was a need since candles weren’t as reliable. Another great example of necessity being the reason for an invention is Alexander Graham Bells telephone which helped people communicate important information at great speeds without using the limited vocabulary of its predecessor the Morse code.

Lerning

Humanities 8 Period 5

I think I’m an auditory learner, I learn best when discussing opinions with class mates since it helps me see different points of view that I did not come across. Lectures do help my learn since taking detailed notes is something I’m used to but to many long lectures are difficult to follow since missing one point of information for any reason can change the meaning of the sentence or even paragraph. Lectures are may also be hard to follow if the information is misunderstood or doesn’t make sense. So to help in this class you could include discussions between students and a few lectures.

My Gang

My friends. The friends I think support me the most right now would have to be my friends in Dubai because I haven't been here long enough to get to know any one that well.
The members of my "gang" are Clark, Andrew, Imran, Cesar and Nathan. They are the ones I would come to if I needed allot of help because, they are understanding and helpful all the time. Everybody is good something and together they are very helpful.
Cesar is good at keeping secrets so you know you can always trust him while Clark isn't as good at keeping secrets but he always knows the right thing to do no matter how hard it is. Imran is the helpful one and he can help you out with anything, Andrew isn't as eager to help but he can make you laugh even when everything as going down heel.Last but not least is Nathan and even though he is not the most helpful one of us he is certainly important since he is the one that holds the "gang" together with his wits and charisma.
