Writing about Choices:
1. I have always been interested on why Rube Goldberg would make such long and
elaborate chains of events just to fill the simplest tasks in life like turning on the lights or
making breakfast in the morning, this one can be rather difficult sometimes. They seem
so far fetched but everyone knows about them. They are so elaborate and long but you are
always excited to what happens in the end. Volunteering has always been a part of my
life. I try to do as much as I can to help the community whether it be from donating blood
to donating money or toys for varies organizations. I try to not to stay mad or sad long
and I believe the best way to get over being mad or sad is just to laugh. Laughing in my
opinion is the best medicine. It is a workout and has proven to make you live longer.
