    Myths and Facts of Black Holes.

Black holes have many rumors behind them, such as time travel, or traveling through one, and ending up somewhere else in the universe. Actually though, a black hole is a region of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape.

 Now knowing what a black hole actually is, we can look at the myths of black holes. One of the most common myths about black holes are that time travel is possible through them. Thanks to science fiction, many people believe this, even though this hasn’t been proven. Even though the theory of relativity states that black holes can warp space time and create black holes, it is nothing but a theory. Another common myth is worm-holes, and being able to quickly travel through a black hole to another part of the universe. This is not true, when an object falls into a black hole, it becomes part of the black hole. The objects never leave the hole. Another myth is that a black hole would devour our entire galaxy. Actually though, due to the space between the stars that the black hole really wouldn’t affect any object, other than those very close.

  We do not know everything about black holes, because you can not even get to the edge of one, you would be stretched like spaghetti, tearing you apart in every direction, due to the gravitational force.  But we do know some about black holes. Such as, they are cold remnants of former stars. They are made after a star explodes at the end of its life, into a super-nova, then into a black hole. Also, there are different types of black holes, such as, spinning black holes, electrical black holes and even black holes that do both. There are also spinning black holes and regular black holes, which grow by swallowing matter, which spinning black holes are formed by merging the two. Many black can not be directly observed since they are so small, dark and distant. Scientists know the exist by measuring mass in a region of the sky, looking for dark masses. Also, there are many black holes existing in binary star system. These certain holes continually pull mass from neighboring stars, causing the star to completely disappear, while the black hole grows larger. Another fact is that Einstein did revive the theory of black holes in the 1900’s, but originally, it was thought of by John Mitchell, in 1783. Mitchell didn’t continue the theory because he didn’t know what to do with it.

  There are many myths and rumors of black holes, yet very few facts. Scientists know very little of black stars due to the fact it is impossible to get close enough to one. Yet, they have found other ways to look and understand black holes.

Cats
I like them.
Ask me why.
Because they’re fluffy
Because they  meow
Because they  love me(not much)
Because they have stripes(some),
Because they make funny faces
Because they have cute paws
Because they run funny
Because they meow in funny ways
Because.
Because
Because.
That’s why
I like Cats.

A True Friend

You’re the truest friend I have

I thank God every single day

for blessing me with a best friend like you

Honestly,

I don’t know where I’d be in life

If I wouldn’t have met you five years ago

I love how you don’t judge me

and accept me as I am

I’m thankful for the advice you’ve given me

Right or wrong

That you confront me when I’m stupid

I appreciate that wouldn’t let anyone hurt me

You’ve done amazing things for me-

I think the best is…

Staying a true friend

never betraying me

Being there when I cried

and making me laugh away the pain

Supporting changes

 decisions

and the adventures you’ve brought into my life

I thank God every single day

for blessing me

with a best friend like you

During my spring break  I went to my friend Hannah’s house where we rode her mule all day. We also ended up getting it stuck in a huge mud puddle where it almost flooded, but before it could flood, we pushed it out and onto dry land. After that incident, we went home and ordered pizza, which took about an hour and a half to get to her house because the pizza guy couldn’t find his way. Also, later during the week, I went to Six Flags of Texas with my family. Unfortunately, the lines were too long that we didn’t get to ride much.  My spring break turned out to be a great one though!

After reading the webpage about women’s rights, I learned that from 1913-1917 women had rallies to protest against wars or for solidarity with their sisters. Eventually, in December of 1977, the UN General Assembly adopted a new resolution, announcing a United Nations Day for Woman’s Rights and International Peace. They also have written constitutions including laws about women’s rights.

We’re all there under the stars

It’s like usual

Something’s different I don’t understand what

but it’s there

You say something stupid

I laugh and roll my eyes

That thing that’s different?

it still lingers there like wind in the air.

We used to be the best of friends

but that road is closed

of too many accidents

of too many to name

Maybe if the most perfect miracle

will come out

and show it’s face

it’ll change our minds…

Maybe we could look straight ahead

And not turn back for,

the past is chapter in our lives

a chapter we’ve already read

Then maybe the Road of Friendship will open.

Have you ever imagined your life without smelling anything? Our smell is something we are so used to using and never think how much different our lives would be if we couldn’t smell anything!

If I lost my sense of smell I wouldn’t be able to smell the freshly mowed grass of my grandparent’s yard, and the smell of spring time, by the ponds behind my house. I always would smell my Nana’s perfume every time I hugged her, which smelt of watermelons, cantaloupe, and cucumbers. Or maybe, the smell of flowers growing by the road, with little berry blossoms beside them. My jacket, just washed and smelling of my mom’s favorite detergent. Or even, strawberries, dipped in warm, melted chocolate.

And even if I did lose my sense of smell I would be joyful, for those very few things that I would never have to smell again! Like the smell of my cat’s food, raw shrimp, and fish, with hints of tuna. Also, worms roaming in the spring, and summer soil. I wouldn’t have to smell blueberry Germ-X which still, sits in my locker and lets it aromas out and through my locker. I would be happy if I didn’t have to smell anybody’s morning breath, in the morning at my house, right after I wake up and I’m already annoyed enough!

These are the reasons I couldn’t live without my sense of smell, and the ones I would be happy lose my sense of smell, but I’m glad to have these sense, so I wouldn’t live without the amazing smells, and the terrible smells.

Over a million children every year in the United States alone are abused. Most of these children are never taken out of these homes, or other places where they might be abused.  For the very few that are lucky, they are placed in caring, loving environments. Most never are cared for until they finally, if possible leave the home or school, to live on their own. I want, when I graduate from college, to help these others find caring foster parents, or foster homes.

This is one of my many dreams to help abused kids find foster homes, and then be adopted by caring mothers and fathers. It will change the world, any many kid’s futures if me and others help with this very large problem.  I want to open a service that goes around the United States, talking to teachers about children in their classes that may be being abused and how to help this certain child or children, and hopefully take them out of that situation.

This is one of my dreams because, it’s not fair to the child that their mom, dad abuses, them for no reason. Also, because, it could eventually kill the child, and haunt them for the rest of their life.

If my dream comes true, then so many lives will be changed, and also less people will abuse children. I don’t want anymore kids to suffer for what their parents do for no reason, it’s not fair to them, and God didn’t put them on this planet to hurt their children, He has a better plan for them and for their kids, and while the parents are abusing the children, God’s plan will never be finished.
