For the assignment, the day in the life of a 12-year, I did a day in the life of a 12-year-old boy in Thailand. What I found out is that life in Thailand for a 12-year old boy is really similar to the life as a 12-old in the United States, in regards to education, hobbies, and even family. It is important that all children go to school in Thailand. In Thailand children are considered as the most valuable resource to the country; so they are cared for. The Thai has a saying that goes like this, "Children are the future of the nation, if the children are intelligent, the country will be prosperous."
Hyperbole Poem
I’m sorry to crush your dreams today
But I have to inform you
That you will never meet anybody more awesome than me
When you look up kind in the dictionary
My name will be its definition
I save people from burning buildings on a weekly basis
And the sound of my angelic voice silences a newborn’s crying
My voice is smooth and soft during conversation
But when I get up on stage
To recite a poem
The fiery string of words that spill out my mouth
Triggers the fire station’s alarm system
My laugh is literally infectious
There is no way around it
If I laugh you WILL be laughing with me
Most of the time at my own jokes
Because I’m just that funny
And please don’t get me started on my smile
The minute I fold my mouth up
Part my lips
And show the most glorious arrangement of teeth you’ve ever seen
You will run 10 miles
Just to get me what I want
And most of all my writing is fantastic
The spectacular way I string words together
Makes you believe anything I’m saying
And as you can tell from reading this right now
I’m pretty magnificent
And you will never ever meet anybody more awesome than me
Childhood
obesity is when a child's excess fat effects him in a bad way toward his health
and well being. When kids are obese the may often have diabetes, high blood
pressure, and asthma.
Quotes from Sites-
"The rate of obesity among children and
adolescents in the United States has nearly tripled between the early 1980s and
2000. It has however not changed significantly between 2000 and 2006 with the
most recent statistics showing a level just over 17 percent. In 2008, the rate
of overweight and obese children in the United States was 32%, and had stopped
climbing."

"Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the
past 30 years."

"Shouldn't he have more to look forward to than diabetes, high blood
pressure and asthma?"

During
the past years many Natural
disasters has happen but the world became as one and helped each other
out. The
latest Natural
disasters that has happen was the tornado that had hit Tuscaloosa, Al
and the
places around. It wen close to the south of Philadelphia but didn't do
as much damage as it did in Alabama. There were 312 tornado's that
occurred during 24 hours. That is a lot of tornado's for that little
time limit. The amount of people killed was around 340 but i can't say
the exact number since more people couldn't have been injured and died
today so this is just a estimation. One thing i wonder about is how do
people prepare for tornado's. Do they hide in a corner or under a table?
Well I'll be back later so we can get on the topic about the earthquake
that had hit japan.
