I believe marijuana should not become legal. Studies show that the more marijuana you consume, will cause you to have a greater chance of receiving schizophrenia. Marijuana is a gateway drug. It is highly addictive and can be extremely harmful towards your body. Marijuana is extremely harmful to the developing brain and can cause severe damage. 45% of those who use marijuana took harder drugs. Many who use marijuana take it to feel better, but it actually can cause even more problems than what they had originally started with. 20% of the people who have taken marijuana have become addicted to it. Allowing marijuana to become legal will cause more problems. Children and citizens will smell the fumes and it could be damaging to them. I believe legalizing the drug will just encourage users to abuse the privilege. It will also put the public in danger. Users will cause self harm.
On my plate my family takes up the most room then my friends, education, soccer, softball, fitness, and volunteering are next. I would like to focus on my education health more because it can help me lower my stress with homework and if I prioritize it I can accomplish better grades and it can make me feel better about myself. I could also focus on my financial health. I can do this by putting away some money and start saving for my future. Hopefully this can help me when I am starting to live on my own. I would also like to spend more time volunteering. This will help others and I can put my spare time to good use as well. By increasing the amount of time I spend on my education health, financial health, and volunteering health, it should help me reach my life goal which is happiness.
I had the opportunity to speak to Anika Green and Alicia Winnett during the career conversations day. Anika Green stood out for me because she is very passionate about animals and her job. She helped to stop poaching and saved about twenty-five animals that day. Her work shift is very long, Anika can work up to fourteen hours a day! Mrs. Green stood out to me because of her hard work and dedication to her job. Another hard working person I talked to was Alicia Winnett. Alicia is a fashion blogger. Mrs. Winnet didn’t know that having a fashion blog would be her job, she told me that she always thought she would be a teacher. I admire Mrs. Winnett because she is self employed so that takes a lot of self discipline to manage a successful blog. I have never heard of an Art Therapist. I talked to Michelle Oucharek-Deo and I learnt a lot more about the importance of this job. An art therapist helps many people to cope with their problems. Some soft skills for being a safari guide and a fashion blogger is self discipline, self motivation, passion for the job, and a good work ethic. Some hard skills for a Safari guide are knowing facts about animals, knowing your way around the area, and being able to give direction to customers when needed. Some hard skills for a fashion blogger are being able to have an eye for fashion and knowing how to use a blog. I believe I could gain these skills for this career, I could gain these skills by going to zoo’s and learning more facts about animals, or I can go shopping more often and look for trends. I definitely thought Careers and Conversations day was a valuable experience because it introduced me to a wider variety of job options and I got to practice my interviewing skills.
