Hello!

January 23rd, 2007 by alexh

Hey there! My name is Alex and I am from Houston, Texas. Which, just in case you didn’t know, is in the US. I am thirteen years old. I live in an international community and I absolutely love it. I love to dance, sing, and animals. My favorite color is blue, then black, then white. I really like to talk, but only when I am in a friendly mood. I often get hyper, so my best friend and I can get a little bit crazy. Most of the time I am ok though. Just don’t get on my bad side. I am not nice to people who aren’t nice to me. My favorite bands are Evanescence, The All-American Rejects and My Chemical Romance. My favorite animal is a wolf. I love to write poetry and I also love to read.

Right now I am really worried about global warming and the using of much of Earth’s resources. This is because I love nature. I find it beautiful. The way a flower unfurls it petals slowly as if it was making sure it was safe first. How you can find any color that you wish to. The trees reaching towards the heavens and the twisting vines climbing steadily upwards despite humans trying to destroy them. I feel that if everyone pitched in and helped that the world would be a much better place. Even the smallest things count. It can start as simple as recycling a piece of paper or a can. As for global warming the solution will also help people to stay healthy. Instead of driving a car you could walk, or take a bicycle. As for longer distances you can carpool or take a bus or a train. All the pollution from cars and trucks is causing our atmosphere to disintegrate, which in turn causes our polar regions to warm. This heat then slowly melts the polar ice caps, which raises water levels all over the world.

Another less global issue is teen health. It has shown in recent studies that health levels have been steadily decreasing as more ideas are invented to do things for us. For example elevators and escalators. It also does not help that many people don’t eat healthy food. Fast foods are packed with unnecessary oils and fats. Eating only junk will increase your weight, which adds stress to your heart. The leading causes of deaths these days are weight and stress related heart diseases. So watch what you eat and make sure you exercise regularly. I play sports, that is the way that I keep in shape.

Coming into another subject I would like to ask you, how do you feel about uniforms? We have to wear them here in my school. I find that sometimes they can be helpful, such as people aren’t judged by how they dress and I don’t have to pick out my clothes every night. In other ways they are also restricting, for example it is harder to show your individuality.

If there is anything in my intro that you have any opinions on, feel free to comment and I would love to hear what you have to say.
