I zipped through the air in joy with my hands grasping the metal bar and<br />
dangling in the wind. Shooting through the air as if I were a bird I let go<br />
with my hands letting my harness and the line take my weight. I saw the<br />
end of the line and decided to start my wiggle to stop, but the problem was<br />
I was much further from the end than it appeared. I stopped dead in my<br />
tracks. Nothing but open line ahead of me. Scared, alone, 4000 feet above<br />
the ground. All I could do now was climb.
There I was,Saint Barthélemy. The weather was perfect hot sunny but a dash of breeze<br />
brushed up against my skin. As I strutted around the waterline feeling famous, a feeling of<br />
sudden pleasure and accomplishment shot through my veins. I turned to make conversation with<br />
mac. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted griffin and pointed him out to mac and on instinct we hustled<br />
over to them to be greeted. The end of the week was here and all of the feelings that had overcame me<br />
were now the opposite. Sadly, it was time to leave.

Plantar warts are warts on the bottom of the foot, the name, “Plantar Wart,” originates from the<br />
word “Plantar,” meaning foot or foot pain. A plantar wart is generally formed from overuse of feet or<br />
sweat build up infections. Plantar warts are yellow hard bumps that look abnormal on the foot. In most<br />
cases they have black little seed like dots in them that can be picked out using tweezers which will<br />
decrease inflammation and get rid of the wart but is painful. Plantar warts can be contagious but not<br />
directly, lots of the time they are contracted from walking barefoot around pools or locker rooms. Plantar<br />
warts can spread throughout the bottom of the foot but cannot reach other portions of your body. Plantar<br />
warts are most common in children than adults, also those with HIV, or AIDS, have a higher risk of<br />
forming plantar warts. Certain home remedies can be used for the removal of these painful warts, but in<br />
some cases need medical attention. One way you can remove plantar warts uses a banana peel, garlic, a<br />
plastic washer, a band aid, and lastly fabric tape.<br />
Step 1: Take your plastic washer and cut a hole in your banana peel to fit snug inside of the washer.<br />
Step 2: Sprinkle crushed garlic on the inside of the banana peel.<br />
Step 3: Place the combination of the banana peel washer and garlic and place it on top of the wart with the<br />
washer surrounding the wart on the outside.<br />
Step 4: Carefully lay a band aid on top of the washer.<br />
Step 5: Insure that the contraption will not come loose using fabric tape wrapped around the area of the<br />
foot.<br />
Step 6: Leave on for about a week.<br />
Step 7: Squeeze the wart until the hardtop of the wart is removed.<br />
Step 8: Put a new band aid over the open wart and wait for inflammation to decrease.<br />

I Survived Columbine<br />
I melissa miller aged 15 survived columbine. I was in<br />
the parking lot when i heard the first explosion. At first I<br />
thought it was a firecracker, a senior prank. I looked back<br />
to see two people in trench coats, Dylan Klebold and Eric<br />
Harris. At that time i didn't know their names, but in the<br />
halls they walked by and they scared me. Then they<br />
opened fire, i saw the red all over the ground, i thought it<br />
had to be paintballs. But then reality struck, it wasn't paint,<br />
fear ran through my body and i ran to cover behind a
truck. I hid there for a good 10 minutes before making my<br />
move. I ran across the parking lot and hopped a fence like<br />
it was nothing. I then sprinted to a nearby house with an<br />
open garage and called my mom. I will never forget that<br />
day, in my heart it will last forever. In total 13 well<br />
mannered good people were killed by Eric and Dylan. One<br />
in which was my friend. I escaped with a few scrapes and<br />
bruises on the outside but on the inside i was sliced and<br />
stabbed and thrown<br />
all over. Columbine<br />
was the event that<br />
changed my life.<br />
Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie<br />
Ingredients<br />
● 2 bananas<br />
● 2 cups of milk<br />
● ½ cup of peanut butter<br />
● 2 tablespoons of honey<br />
● 2 cups of ice cubes<br />
Steps<br />
Step 1: put 2 bananas broken into chunks into the blender.<br />
Step 2: add 2 cups of milk.<br />
Step 3:add 2 tablespoons of honey.<br />
Step 4: add ½ cup of peanut butter.<br />

i really liked this recipe because it's similar to a smoothie at smoothie king that i really like.<br />
also the picture makes it look very appetizing. at first i thought that the peanut butter would get<br />
caught on the blades and slow them. When i made it though, i found it was a rather easy blend<br />
that did the trick! it was very flavourful and sweet but also had a hint of banana which was just<br />
perfect.<br />
Do Fidget Spinners Help You Concentrate?<br />
Fidget spinners are advertised as stress relieving focusing tools. Yet<br />
this is very wrong. Teachers claim that their a visual distracting to students<br />
which is the main draw back on the product. The spinners are very fun, but<br />
when somebody is trying to focus, it would be best to leave them alone.<br />
Studies show that students actually focus more on the spinners because of<br />
their flashy looks. These spinners may be beneficial for stress relieving<br />
though. For somebody with adhd that must focus on a topic, fidgeting with
something less distracting is of better use.
