Dear Sam,
I know things are probably hard for you. If you are reading this, you are probably in college preparing for your future. Hopefully you are studying to work with animals and follow your dream. I know that what ever you are doing, you are trying your best. You can do it.
If you are struggling, remember your old self. Remember the person that never gave up and kept working until she figured it out. If you keep this in mind, you will succeed.
Remember how when you were younger, all you wanted to do was help animals. Remember all of those animals you saved. Remember all of the pets you took care of. Remember how much you loved that. This should help you stay focused future self.
Sincerely,
Sam Schwartz
P.S. You better have a ball python by now!!

Love comes in many different forms. The love of your pet, your family, your partner, your self, or even an object. Everyone needs love in their life no matter what.
To me, love is a feeling of want. When I feel loved, I feel wanted. Everyone needs someone in their life who they can love or feel loved by. Without love, a person most likely feels alone and not wanted. This feeling is something no one wants to feel. Personally, I have felt this feeling many times before and it is something I wish to never feel again. Feeling alone makes me feel depressed and unloved. Being loved also involves a companion. A companion, no matter who they are, is someone who should always be there when they're needed.
Love is a very important experience in a persons life. A person who has never felt love has not truly lived. Life is all about being with people who you love and who make you happy. Be happy with the people who love you and you will live a happy life.

Responsibility....
Many people nowadays seem to blame things on other people and not take responsibility. For most people, this has become a habit. In our generation, less and less people are being responsible.
I myself do take responsibility for my own actions. I find blaming other people for my own actions irresponsible and childish. I always try my hardest to be honest, no matter what the consequences are. In many situations, i have found it very dificult to be responsible. For example, when i was about 6, i did a cartwheel in my living room and accidentally broke a lamp. It would have been very easy for me to lie and blame the accident on my brother, but instead i took the blame. I ended up getting in trouble, but blaming it on my brother would be wrong.
I think if more people would take responsibility, we would have a better world. Life has become about not having to take the fall and staying on top of the situation. This leads to drama and arguments. Just remember to tell the truth and be responsible!

My hardest project?...
Through my 10 years in school, i have had many different projects. Some were very easy and a few were hard and time consuming, but one project in particular was more dificult than the others. This project was the Sulfur atom in ms. Hammans class.
The Sulfur atom model was very time consuming for me. It took me about four hours to make, and i had to re-do it twice. I have never had to do any project like this one. One thing in particular that i found the hardest was putting the neutrons and protons in the middle. We were supposed to put them on without them touching each other. It took me about 2 hours just to do that part.
Another part of the project that i found very dificult was figuring out how to make the atom. It had to be free standing and it was hard for me to think of an idea. This project was not something that i could just google, i had to think of my own idea. In the end, my project turned out great. I got a good grade and my teacher loved my presentation. And that was all about my hardest project.

Taking risks.....
Some people devote their lives to discovery. These people are very adventurous and take chances. I myself am a very adventurous person. I love white water rafting, roller coasters, and i love taking risks. Taking risks is what makes life fun.
Many people in history have devoted their life to discovery. For example, Lewis and clark were sent by Thomas Jefferson to find a water route across North America and explore the west. They met Sacagawea on their way. They were very devoted to exploring the west.
I think the reason some people devote their life to discovery is because it involves taking risks and being adventurous. Taking risks involves danger, but it also involves fun, and that is what life is about. And that is what i think about adventurous people and taking risks.

Truth vs lie..
Telling the truth is something that should always be done, no matter what. Telling a lie is something that can often cause trouble. In many cases, people find reasons to lie, but is it right?
For example, a young boy and his sister are in a store. His older sister decides to steal a shirt and tells him not to tell their mother. The boy can not decide whether to say something or to keep it to him self. If he says something, his sister may be mad at him, but if he keeps it to him self, his sister will get away with stealing and the boy will be lying to his mother.
In this situation, what is the best thing to do? Tell the truth. If the young boy tells his mother that his sister stole, his sister can be rightfully punished and can learn not to steal. This is why telling the truth is always the right thing to do.

My Academics
Durring my high school expirence at early college high school, i have encountered so many struggles. I have struggled with things like math, laziness and teachers. I have done so many great things and have also accomplished so much. As i get older, i know i will acomplish so much more.
In high school, i have had so many struggles. One of those struggles was taking tests. I am good at memorizing definitions, but i am not very good at applying things. Something else i have struggles with was forgetting. I used to often forget to do my homework. One more thing i struggle with is studying. I used to not study for tests, but i do study now.
In high school, i have not had many acomplishments so far, but i have had some. My first accomplishment was making it through freshman year. Many people dropped out durring and after freshman year, and i have also considered dropping out before. Another acomplishment is having good grades. I may not have the best grades, but i have not gotten any Ds or Fs on my report card so far. One more acomplishment is doing my homework. i used to forget to do my homework a lot.
I have a few aspirations for high school. Something i aspire to do is keep my grades good. I know that as i get into my junior and senior year, my classes will get a lot harder. Another aspiration i have is to stay in early college. Some classes are hard and take a lot of work to keep a good grade. My last aspiration is to work with animals. For anyone who knows me, they know i love animals and i also know so much about animals. I have very much expirence working with animals as well.
Throughout high school, i have had so many ups and downs. I have had so many struggles and some acomplishments. I have done so much and i know i will do so much more as i get older.

What right do people have to claim things that do not belong to them?
What right do people have to say that something belongs to them, when it does not belong to them? In my opinion, they have absolutely no right. What is theirs is theirs! There is really no exception.
No matter if they earn it or inherit it, it is still theirs. It belongs to them. Some people think that they can just steal peoples things. Though they do not own them, they still take them. Some people steal things because they need it. For example, someone who is sick, and desperatly needs medicine. Or a homeless person who realy needs food. Though steeling things are never good, i would do the same thing if i desperatly needed something.
Sometimes, people take things to a whole new level with the things they steal. People often take peoples lives. This is completely different than steeling something tangable. In my opinion, this is the worst form of "stealing". And that is my opinion on peoples rights to claim things that do not belong to them.

why do some people risk their lives for other people?
Many everyday people risk their lives for others. Wether they do it every day, like fire fighters and police officers, or if it was a one time situation. Though saving someones life is an amazing thing, some people have different reasons for risking their own life for someone else.
Some people risk their lives for others because they want to be recognized as a hero. Risking your life is a selfless act, and wanting to be recognized for it is not a bad thing. Though, some people risk thir lives because they believe in the importance of people.
Another reason some people risk their lives for others because they would want someone to do the same for them. If I was in need of help, I would want someone to help me, even if they did not know me. Many people save others for this reason alone.
Some people do not feel the imporatnce to help others. Sometimes, the instinct of survival makes people want to save themselves and not put their own life in danger for someone else. Many people are affraid to die and want to stay safe. And that is why some people do or do not risk their lives for others.
