Math
Math is a subject introduced to you ever since you begin preschool or kindergarten. Many of us have asked ourselves if math is really necessary in our core classes. I believe it is because we do not really think about it but we are surrounded by math everyday. Math involves having the ability to figure out what the problem is, if its solvable, figuring out the steps you will use to solve the problem, and finding the solution. Living in a world where everything involves money and numbers behind the money that's where math comes into play. You need math to figure out how much money you will be paid, how much of it will go to rent, and utilities. If you never learn math or at least the basics you will not survive in the job world. Math is not only a subject that is used in your financial part of your life but also because its a subject that's used in all aspects of the daily world.
Foods People Eat
Many people are drawn to foods that are native to their country. They choose to eatthese foods because it either reminds them of their life there and they want to eat these foods to feel close to home. people want to remind times they had in their country. It s diffcult to live in a different country that is not the one you are native to. Sometimes you look for comfort whenever you miss your country and turn to things that bring you back memories. For most people they turn to the foods. once their eating the dishes they feel joy out of the food and the food helps them remember their country and it culture. Also food is a big factor in tradition. Whenever cultures plan events or parties they want to have tradition within the event and most of the time the meals are traditional dishes. These are two reasons why people choose the particular food that they eat.

Change of Plans
Ever been in a situation where your plans took a drastic toll? I have, last week my tennis team had a tennis game, but due to the weather conditions we had to have a change of plans and cancel the game due to the rain. The team was so excited to play because just before a game we get an adrenaline rush to play and do good. So when we found out that the other game had canceled the game due to weather conditions we were all disappointed. This is one main reason we were dissappointed another was because we believed that the game will be post pone but to our surprise it wasnt. An opportunity to play a game and might have received a chance to win the game was taken away from us. This is only one example of many others expierences when someone has to go through an expierence where there has to be a change of plans.
An Ideal Vacation
My ideal vacation would be a vacation would i could be able to visit all the European countries of my choice. I would want to visit France, Spain, Italy, Germany and many more. I would like to at least spend 2 to 3 weeks in each of these countries so I could get to see all the beautiful sights and try all the delicious foods. I would aslo like to see all of the historical monuments and landmarks and get to know a little bit of their history. I would want to be able to take pictures of mostly everything that I see so when it is time to come back I could show everyone everything that i saw and did in Europe. They could have a chance to see my pictures and decide if whether or not they would like to visit Europe one day. On my trip I would like to be able to expierence everything there is to expierence in these European countries.

Obesity
Whenever someone sees a person that is overweight more than usual they begin to have thoughts that are not very nice. They begin to tease them and embarrass them in public places. People that are obese usually have both personal and societal problems. They tend to not like their body and most of time hate it. They want to eat food to replace an issue they might have because they feel food comforts them, and they usual lack self esteem. Obesity raises the risk of heart attacks and other health issues. The society we live in has a major contribution to the amount of people that are becoming obese. To me this seems unfair becomes society plays a major role in obesity but it also contributes to how obese people are treated in our society. there should be more boundaries on the critism people are allowed to give on other people.
Unlikely Allies
The only circumstance in which two people of different bacgrounds could become unlikely allies is when they need something from each other and when someone uses someone else for a benefit. For example when two rivals from a school do not like each other and say an event is coming up in school and they need to work together in a project, they need to leave their differences aside so the school event can be a successful one. hese two students were rivals because they come from a different bcakground and their cultures are different so they have assumptions from each others culture that they dilike and this was the main reason why they disliked each other. But after having to collaborate with each other in this project they decided that besides their different culture backgrounds they really didnt have reasons to silike each other. This might be the only circumstance in which people from different backgrounds can become allies.
