I have numerous reasons why I appreciate my parents. They where only sixteen years old when they had me so they have been through alot. They both have learned to get through life with difficulties and has overcome many of them. They worked hard because they want their children to have a descent life and get an education, something that they did not have a chance to pursue. They hope that my sisters and I pursue an education so we will have a descent lifestyle in our future and have a career that we enjoy doing.
My parents have worked most of their life and until this day they are still working. Sometimes they had to work two jobs. My dad does now. They work to provide us with all the necessities that we need and to also to not have to work, because they say it will intervene with our education and nothing is more important than our education. My parents dislike their job , but they go to their job everyday. That makes me appreciate them because i know that they are doing it for my sisters and me. I wish I can help them with money. I do not like to see them stressed and worked up. I hope i can get a job soon. One day I will be able to provide for them and repay them for everything that they have done for me. I Love You Mom and Daddy!. :)<3 They are my biggest motivators. I will do anything for them.
My name is Crissy Uitz. I'm fifteen going to sixteen on October 27. I am i big-hearted girl who loves to see the value in everyone.

Family History
If I wanted to know how to preserve my family history, I would talk to my parents and my grandmother. Maybe my dad or mom's aunts and uncles. I would ask them what are some of the traditions they perform year long, such as in holidays, birthdays or any other special occasions. I would also ask if there is something that has been passed down from generation to generation, such as something valuable or even a recipe that was made by my ancestors. I will probably ask how was there childhood. Something else I would ask is if they had any stories or myths that were told about our ancestors. After they tell me all the traditions they do, I would try to follow them and when I have children I would encourage them to follow them as well. In some cases some of the traditions die and they are not passed to the next generations. If this was the case with my family, I will try to revive these traditions and practice them. I am pretty sure that my parents would be proud of me if I were to do this. Preserving family traditions are important because you will be keeping them alive for years to come.. Everyone should retrace their family history it is very important.
Choose the right college
Persnally, choosing where you want to go to college is a personal decision and frequently a stressful decision. You must determine what you might like to study or major in college. Many students enter college undecided, which is fine, but it is best to have some idea of a career or major to steer your way in the correct path. When you have an idea of what you might want to major in can also help the process of finding the right college. You should also create a list of the colleges you are considering and the ones that you are not. Also ask yourself questions, Do you want to live close to home or faraway? Do you want a large or small university? Can you afford to pay for it? A major obstacle for students is the cost of the university. The cost is what holds back most students because they do not know how to pay for it. However, I do not think people should do that because if its their dream school they will do whatever it takes to attend there. You should consider attending college fairs, where you will be able to meet with representatives from the universities and obtain more information on the university. The best way to get a feel of a college is by visiting the campus. Take a tour of the campus and ask questions about the college to your tour guide. By doing this you will have an opportunity to see the college in person and having more information to base your decision on. I believe this is the best way to choosing the right college because you do not want to attend a university or cal-state that you do not like. I know when I went to a campus tour, it made me really like the campus and my top school to attend is Cal-State Long Beach. I loved the atmosphere it contained and all the variety of things the uphold. Good Luck!
Sibling Fights
I like this subject. It is because I can extremely relate to this topic. I fight with my sisters everyday! It can be about anything; little or small It is more likely than not that if you have a brother or a sister, you have fought with them at least twice. However, the limit to the fighting is very important. Like I said most brothers and sisters fight, but they also forgive each other usually within minutes and move on. They do not even have to apologize to each other, they just act like nothing happened and it is forgotten. It is like they know they forgave each other without saying a word. However, there are brothers and sister who take their sibling fights to another level. These types of fights last for years and years and can end up in the destruction of a happy family. Sibling rivalry is completely understandable but how you handle that situation can either build a sibling relationship or cost you a sibling. The best way to handle siblings not getting along is to know how to forgive. If your sibling did something to you that made you mad, remember that they are a part of your family and deserve another chance. At the end of the day, you are still related to them. Most of all you love them very much. Personally, I would not want my sisters and I to stop talking over something little, but I know I will not let that happen.<3
Favorite Game
I have several favorite games but my all-time favorite game is the monopoly baseball edition. I really enjoy playing it, especially when I play with my siblings and cousins. It includes all the thirty baseball teams, in both the American and National Leagues. It attracts me since it has to do with baseball. I love baseball! I have the chance to be able to own one of the teams or more when we play. It is like the original monopoly, just that this one is about baseball. The chance and community cards talk about baseball, such as for example if a person lands on a chance or community chest the card might say that they have to pay to fix the baseball field or buy a new ball. I like that I can relate to the game and I am very familiar with the baseball rules and the teams. It is always fun when you can relate to something because you will understand the game more clearly. It makes the whole game easier and much much much more fun! Just to be writing about this makes me want to go take out the game and start playing with my siblings. It is a really fun game and I recommend anyone to play it. Monopoly baseball edition is the best game! Now, I am gonna go get the game! Wish me luck to win! thank you
Make a new friend
It is not difficult to make new friends but I think people who have a hard time making them do not know how to approach another person. You can normally make a new friend in any setting. You have to keep your mind open for signs that someone wants to befriend you. You usually look for signs like if a person smiles or makes eye contact. To me this is the key because you cannot go up to someone who is angry. That will be a very terrible mistake, trust me! If you get a good intuition about someone, smile and introduce yourself. Begin to make a conversation with them about something general like 'what is your name?' or 'where are you from?'. Usually if that goes well that is a good sign. Begin to share some details about yourself with the person. They will see that you are comfortable talking about it and maybe they will share some details about themselves with you. Most of all, be YOURSELF! Do not be someone fake because that will lead to problems like dislike. This is usually a good way to figure out if both of you share the same interests. If you do, you can think about getting together some other time and talk about those interests in common. If you really enjoyed each others company and had fun, it could be the beginning of a wonderful friendship. GOOD LUCK!
Visitors From Another Planet
Explaining a new world to someone from another planet might be difficult but pollution is the introduction of contaminants into a natural environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem, such as physical systems or living organisms. In other words, pollution harms our environment. I would explain what are the things that pollute our planet. Air pollution comes from both natural and man made sources. Though globally man made pollutants come from combustion, construction, mining, agriculture and warfare are increasingly significant in the air pollution equation. Motor vehicle emissions are one of the leading causes of air pollution. Another form of pollution comes from factories where they make things such as chemical plants, coal-fired power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, nuclear waste disposal activity, incinerators, and large livestock farms. Pollution is bad and it is harming our planet. A lot of people are not aware of this and I think that everyone should know. We should all take care of our environment and the things that were put here on Earth. I will tell them how to help my planet become safer, so there wont be more negative problems in this world
