Instagram

Based on my Instagram, a future business would think of me to be a very photogenic person because I take a lot of pictures daily. There is not anything on my Instagram that portrays me to be a bad person because I do not post pictures with vulgar language, alcohol, or illegal substances. I think my instagram is a great picture/social network that is supposed to show the fun you have throughout your life with the people you love and share it with. I post pictures of myself, family, and friends. Even though it is my account and I can decide what I put up there, I decided not post things up there to portray me to be a bad person because of future jobs and the family members that do follow me on Instagram.

President Obama


During President Obama’s speech on Monday, he seemed so caring and heartfelt and he you can tell that he meant everything that he was saying. He spoke about the American Culture by saying “Each time we gather to inaugurate a President; we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names”.  This is talking about the American Culture because he is speaking about what we Americans do every time a new president is inaugurated. He speaks in a serious tone so that the audience knows that he is serious about what he is saying and that he cares about the people. When he speaks to the people, he says “we” a lot to show that everyone is equal and should be created equal. He thinks as himself as one of us which puts him in a great place because the people of America appreciate that quality in a president. Most past presidents do not look at themselves to be as equal as everyone else. In my opinion, that shows a lot and the way he is and the way he handles certain situations gets him a lot of respect from the American people. For example, Obama states “Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune”. This shows that he is a great president.

Alcohol Vs. Marijuana


           Ever seen a person high? Well, how about someone that was drunk? Ever took the time and thought whether or not alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana? People smoke and drink to have fun with their friends at parties and other social outings but they never think of the consequences one or even both of them may cause. Using visual descriptions, this image shows that drinking alcohol is more dangerous than smoking marijuana.

            In this picture, it shows a marijuana plant, people smoking it, people eating because of the munchies that smoking marijuana causes, and then the people that were smoking feeling loopy because of the high they are under. It also shows a bottle of alcohol, people drinking it, people getting into a car after drinking, and then the people that were drinking in a car accident because of how drunk the alcohol made them. The words on the picture state “Can you guess which one is legal?”. Now, we all know which one is legal and which one should be legal. Alcohol is the most dangerous which means that alcohol should be illegal and Marijuana should be legal because there aren’t nearly as many deaths caused by marijuana as caused by alcohol.

            I’ve always wondered why smoking marijuana was illegal and drinking alcohol was not. Driving while under the influence of alcohol is much more dangerous than driving while under the influence of marijuana. I’m not saying that people should drive while under the influence of any drug or alcohol but, people seem to drive while under the influence of alcohol more often just because it is legal.

Life Without a Phone? Not possible

Many teenagers cannot live without their phones. This is because of the generation that we live in. Being that I am 18 years old, my phone is still a big part of my life. When I am not doing anything, I am most likely on my phone on a social network, texting, or playing a game. The reason why my phone has been such a big part of my life is because of how long I have had a cell phone. If I did not have my phone, I would be ridiculously bored and would not know what to do with myself.
