As a teenager I succumbed to peer pressure when my friends brought over a bottle of alcohol. I had never had a drink before and while I was nervous and scared by what would happen, I didn’t want to look like a loser. In hindsight I probably would have talked to my friends first about my reservations about drinking instead of keeping quiet and just going with the flow. Luckily nothing out of control happened, but it could have and I wish I had spoken up. I learned that if I don’t feel comfortable doing something I need to be responsible enough to follow my own convictions.
If there were three things I would choose to eat every day for the rest of my life they would be: a salad full of healthy veggies, goat cheese, walnuts and croutons, a hearty plate of spaghetti and meatballs, and ice cream. I would choose these three meals because they include healthy nutrient filled ingredients, as well as filling and home-spun qualities. I chose both sweet and salty choices so I wouldn’t be overwhelmed by one or the other. Of course I had to include ice cream, it never goes out of style and would fill my sweet tooth cravings.
Every person lives his life dependent of what he works. Here we have a man with life full with responsibilities. If you work on fire safety, first you have to know that you have a big risk on your life. For fire marshall signs are important to work and think fast, but also to be calm. You must put the life of the victims in front of your life in order to save the people and to make the material damage smaller. Also you need to be ready 24h and under ready is meant to be physically and mentally ready. This is one of the professions that couldn’t be done by everybody. You need a man who has special feelings, mental and physical strength.

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen is my niece when she was first born. I remember showing up to the hospital and seeing my sister absolutely glowing. Although she was exhausted, it was the happiest I had ever seen her in her life. Then I beheld her gorgeous daughter and was immediately smitten. She was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen, and knowing how much happiness she was bringing to our whole family was absolutely mind boggling. It was a wonderful moment for my entire family and I am thrilled that I get to watch her grow up, she gets more beautiful everday.
If I won the lottery it would provide me the freedom to do so many things in life that I dream of. First of all I would pay off all of my debt, which would take a big load off of my stress and well being. I would also give a large portion of my money to my family so they may set themselves up to have successful and happy lives. After that I would take a break from school to travel the world and enjoy the many different cultures. Winning the lottery would allow me to put so much stress behind me and finally start living.
For some reason every New Years day my grandmother makes all of us eat black eyed peas. While I must have asked her why at some point, I can’t seem to remember where this tradition came from. Every year we begrudgingly swallow our peas with no idea why we are doing it, and I find that kind of hilarious. I would choose to pass that on to my kids just for the sheer randomness of the tradition, and to laugh as I see their faces while they try to swallow the not so tasty legumes. Perhaps it’s not the most sentimental, but I will always remember all of us kids cringing and laughing at the same time.

The dorgard as suggested, I think is not safe for the building or house. First of all the building is in use of a business or dwelling. How a chubb dorgard helps the workers or the dwellers escaping from fire. Like wind or rain, is not the effect of fire on the building. The first question is what is the material the door is made? Then what are the components the device is made? Fire can destruct anything except materials that is used to make the “space shuttle”. But it will be costly and can’t be afford to all. Another thing is a building has so many doors. Is it possible to fit the dorgard to all the doors? Consider all the things works well then how the people escape from their work place or home. When all the doors are closed by the dorgard the people will be locked inside and were just like put in a frying pan. A dorgard can close the doors, what about the question of windows and ventilators, can’t fire enter through these opening. Therefore I think the dorgard will be a trap to the people inside the building.
For my honeymoon I would love to go an African safari. I have never been to Africa and it has always stood out in my mind as an exotic place with a unique culture that I have never experienced. I would love to see elephants, tigers, gazelle and other wildlife in their natural environment. After the safari I would like to visit Cape Town, a gorgeous town settled between the mountains and the coast. While in Cape Town I would enjoy lounging on the beach, surfing, and taking advantage of the nightlife. I would also want to take first class on the flight to Africa, as it is very long and I’m not a fan of flying.

My greatest achievement in life is the wonderful relationships I have been able to build over the course of my lifetime. I have devoted, loyal and loving friends and family who I can always count on to be there for me, and they can always count on me too. It’s not always easy to maintain strong and healthy relationships with other people, and I have worked hard to be the best friend, sister, daughter and girlfriend I can be. The fact that I have so many people in my life I can turn to in times of need or times of happiness is my greatest achievement.
If I were to live underwater for two years I would choose to be a dolphin. Known to be one of the smartest animals on the planet, I would enjoy a level of mental awareness most creatures can’t. I would glide through the water with ease and grace, frolicking with my fellow dolphins. We would sing to each other in our unique dolphin songs. I would choose to be a dolphin because of their beauty, smarts, and their seeming capacity for having fun. Dolphins are also very swift and would be able to see and experience much of the underwater world, including reefs full of coral and exotic species.
