What to do if Electronics Ceased to Exist? 😵
If all electronic devices ceased to work, one way I will spend my free time is by playing a board game with friends. The reason why I would play a game with friends is because when you are sorrounded by friends that make you feel good inside and except you for you electronics are non existent. The second way how I will spend my free time is by going to a waterpark. The reason why I would go to a waterpark is because swimming is a good source of exercise and are tons of activities to do while swimming with friends. The third way how I would spend my free time is by going dancing. I would go dancing because is one of my favorite hobbies, is another source of exercise, and it could last a long time.

If I Had the Ability to Fly
If I had a choice between being able to fly or to become invisible I would choose the ability to fly. The reason why I would choose the ability to fly is because flying would be good for the environment. I say this because by flying the air will help u fly while using a car as transportation will require fuel which uses coal, oil, and other materials. The second reason reason why I would choose the ability to fly is because flying will be way faster than using a car. The third reason why I would choose the ability to fly is because by flying less accidents will occur, there will not be any traffic lights which require the car to stop and a drivers test will not be required in order to fly. The fourth and final reason why I would choose the ability to fly is because in flying there will be no traffic which means people could fly freely wherever they want to.

Advice about the Ohio Graduation Test
This month, many schools have taken the OGT. For those who are going to take the OGT's in the future here is are a few bits of advice I would like to give to them. For one, the OGT is not hard in terms of difficulty. I say this from personal experience from taking the OGT. Surely there is that one particular subject that students may have doubts about. For me it was Science. As I have stated a few blog entires ago, Science is not my strong suit and like so, I listed the steps I would take to succeed. I would recommend taking those steps into consideration. The second piece of advice I would like to give is to study for the OGT. I recommend going onto the OGT Success website. Trust me this does help and it will help you visualize what the test questions will be like. The third piece of advice I would like to give is to think of the OGT as the OAA test. The OGT is formatted just like the OAA and some of the test questions are similar to the 7th and 8th grade questions that are asked. Lastly, just take a deep breath, relax, and take a good amount time to complete the test. Two and a half hours are given so do not try to rush through the questions. If this advice is unsuccessful in helping future OGT test takers pass, there is always a next time.

A Time When I had to Convince Someone of Something
A time when I had to convince someone of something was when I was trying convince my mother to let me drive her car. Trying to convince my mother to allow me drive her car was difficult because she was not aware that I have driven a car a few times when I was 12,13, and 14 with my father. So one day she took me driving. I was in awe because my mother had just told me a few days ago that she was not going to let me drive until I receive my temps. Thinking that I had no driving experience at all, my mother told me how to change the gears, which pedal was the accelerator and brake, and how much pressure I should apply to the accelerator so I would not move the car too fast. Even though I knew all of these steps, my mother was just making sure I knew how to control the vehicle to ensure my safety. After changed the gear to drive I pushed lightly on the gas and began to move the car slowly. My mother told me to make a left turn so I turned on my left turn signal and turned the steering wheel to the left. I continued to drive around for a little more until my mother told me to put my foot on the brake to slow down the car. When I shifted the gear to park, my mother was very impressed with my driving skills and allowed me drive into our driveway.

The One OGT Test That I am Most Nervous About
The one OGT test that I am the most nervous about is the science test. There are a few reasons why I am the most nervous about the science test in particular. One reason is because science is not one of my strongest subjects. I say this because before I started high school, I used to get A's in science all the time. Now that I have advanced to high school, science has become of course more complicated but also the majority of the time I have a hard time applying what I know to one question or a series of questions on a test. The second reason is to me science alone is too complex which allows me not to understand most of the material I learn. The third reason is a lot of times I feel that I read more into test questions or even simple questions on a worksheet which tend to make the question harder for me to process in my mind than it should be. Then, there are times where reading more into the question or thinking outside of the box is really necessary and then I end up getting the question correct. To help me change my perspective on the Science OGT is before taking the test, I would first write down all of my doubts and fears of what could happen when I take the test as a source of stress release and then right down the positive and more confident possibilities that could happen when I take the test. Second, I would then pray about the test and ask God for reassurance and guidance as I read each question on the test and to help me understand each question. Thirdly, I would then imagine myself passing the test to help my mind get motivated.
