After reading this article I look at exercise in a whole new way. Exercise just seems like a way to stay the fit, keep the same weight, or lose a little bit of weight. Your diet is what really counts. You can exercise all you want but if you eat McDonalds everyday or some other unhealthy food, it cancels out.

If exercise alone doesn’t affect your weight significantly, then why are still those people who exercise almost nonstop, thinking they are going to lose weight?

I think it could be because exercising gives you such great feeling afterward that people feel good about themselves. What sounds better? “I just ate a salad for lunch instead of pizza!” or “I just ran three miles!”  Eating right can make you feel stressed, unsatisfied, and hungry. The day after a good run you feel energized, proud, and healthy. Eating right can make you have less of the things you love but exercising is just adding on. For most people, it is not fun to eat right. Exercising can be exciting, competitive, and fun.

Exercising and a good nutritional diet come hand in hand when wanting to lose significantly or keep the same weight.  You can’t have one without the other. You can exercise all you want but if you are eating unhealthy the excising you just did cancels out.  People need to learn and understand this in order to help make us make a healthier country.

When I am older I want to be one of the tour guides who really gets into their work. For example if the theme was wild west then you would walk around with cowboy cloths. You would talk funny and use the word “Ya’ll” a lot. You could repeat the same joke over and over again and people would never get tired of it because there would be many different people every time you say it. You never have to be serious and you get to dress up every day.  You could say funny words that no one would understand but they would still laugh. Before you start the job, you have to go to cowboy school and learn how to walk, talk, and act like a cowboy. You could drive an “Iron Horse” which is a train.  You have to ride a horse everywhere because they dont allow cars. Cars ar not from the wild wild west. Also, the wild wild west has to do with history which is my favorite class. I think it would be so fun to be a tour guide because you never have to be serious.

Students are like a baby turtle making it’s way to the ocean as soon as it’s born. A student has to be independent. They can’t rely on others to do the work for them. The student is the one who has to work hard because no one else can do it for them.  There may be people cheering you on but they cant always help you. A student has to work for themselves and only themselves. They are the ultimately the only person who benefits from all the work so they are in charge of making sure they meet all their responsibilities.  They are in the position of many others but if you don’t want to try, then you don’t make it.   If you want to persevere, then you can accomplish anything, just like a baby turtle.

Family: (n) any group of persons closely related by blood, as parents, children, uncles, aunts, and cousins

I A family member is the type of person that can walk through the door of your house and yell “I’m home.” They go through your refrigerator, grab their favorite snacks, sit down on the couch, and leave trash everywhere. There is no such thing as courtesy for others. That is the type of family I have and I wouldn’t have it any other way. When I mean family, I mean my “siblings.” I have 9 siblings. To you, three of them would be considered my friends but I can’t imagine them anything less than family. In order to tell you about my life I have to tell you about my family. My family is my life.  Telling you about them is telling you about my life. I don’t know what I would do without them. They are the reason why I love my life.

My sister Helen is amazing and absolutely hilarious. She is younger than me but is so much more mature. My family and I always make fun of her. My day would not be complete without making fun of Helen. My sister Shea is the most stuck up person in the world. If I she says something then it must be cool. Even if I say it ten minutes later, it’s not as cool. My brother Simon is such a trouble maker. He is the youngest so he always ends up getting tricked into doing things. One time my brother Matthew told him that the tweezers were meant to get rid of nose hairs so of course Simon decides to trim his nose hairs and ends up giving himself a bloody nose.  Matthew is an odd ball. He always thinks of something weird to say that he knows annoys someone. He loves to annoy people in weird ways. My sister Chanel is amazing. Chanel and I can turn any day to the most fun day ever.  My brother Luke is the funniest person ever. We have so many inside jokes and whenever either one of us mentions the word coconut foot cream, we break down laughing. My brother Ben is really cool. He is much older than me but I still try to beat him up. He is sort of like a grandpa because he still thinks I like Barbie dolls.  My brother John Paul is crazy. He could live in a pile of dirt. He is adorable in his baseball uniform and I love to go to his games and cheer him on even if he gets annoyed.  Drake is so unique. He is in high school but he loves to pretend to be a wizard/ Jedi. He always tries to beat me up and I always end up on the floor laughing because he’s so weak he can’t even do anything to me.

This is my family. Can you tell who is related to me and who is not? I know I can’t. If you bring all of us together it is one loud, crazy, messy, fun, and loving family. I absolutely love them.
