3/20

 As a 16-year-old, I’m already thinking about how to avoid student loan debt in the future. I plan to start saving early, so I have money set aside for college and don’t rely too much on loans. I’m also considering applying for scholarships and looking into schools that offer good financial aid packages. To keep costs down, I might attend a community college for the first two years and then transfer to a university. I want to be realistic about my career goals and find a college that gives me good value for my degree. Ultimately, my goal is to make sure my education doesn’t come with a burden of debt that I can’t pay off after graduation.

Prompt: Describe a time when you had to speak in front of an audience. What were your fears? How did you handle them? What advice would you give to someone struggling with stage fright?

 So, there was this one time I had to speak in front of my whole class for a project, and honestly, I was freaking out. My heart was pounding, and I felt like I might pass out just thinking about it. I was scared that I’d forget everything or stumble over my words. But I just focused on breathing and remembering that I was prepared, which helped calm me down.

Today in class we did public speaking notes.

  Near-death experiences (NDEs) are fascinating because they make me wonder if there’s something beyond this life. Some people describe bright lights, feelings of peace, or even seeing loved ones who have passed away, which sounds spiritual. Scientists, though, say these experiences might just be the brain reacting to trauma, like a flood of chemicals creating hallucinations. I think there could be truth in both views—maybe NDEs are our minds trying to make sense of something we don’t fully understand. If they are real, they could mean there’s an afterlife, which is both comforting and a little scary. Either way, NDEs remind me how mysterious life and death really are.

 One player who inspires me is Cristiano Ronaldo because he worked extremely hard to become one of the best soccer players in the world. He came from a poor background, but he never let that stop him from chasing his dream. One lesson I can learn from his journey is that dedication and discipline are just as important as talent. He constantly trains, eats right, and pushes himself to improve every day. Another lesson is to never give up, even when facing challenges or criticism. If I stay focused, work hard, and believe in myself, I know I can achieve my dream of becoming a pro soccer player too.
